Cross the doghouse to save Party A, Your Highness owes me ten mines

comfortable!

She stretched, stood up, and put on her clothes, still wearing the same outfit she usually wore in the village.

Carrying a wooden basin, he went to the kitchen to get hot water, came back to wash and change his appearance, and Xiyan was cooking. The pot was still fragrant.

It is no exaggeration to say that she could not tell the difference before because she had no comparison and simply thought it was delicious. Now, after traveling, she discovered that the craftsmanship of washing inkstones is comparable to the signature dishes of many restaurant chefs.

"What are you doing?"

"Girl, I have porridge made with red dates and wolfberries, your favorite pancakes, and some meat dishes that I started to stew last night..."

"How do you cook so deliciously? Have you ever cooked before?"

"Not really. When I was living in the mansion, there was a cook living next door..." Xiyan was referring to the room next to the servants. He learned a lot from seeing and hearing the cook, so even without any special instruction, he still learned some home cooking.

The chefs who can cook in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion are all top-notch chefs. Xi Yan often sees them and can compare with the chefs in ordinary restaurants. He also has a talent in this area.

"……girl?"

"Hmm?" Xia Shi, who was mixing warm water, looked up.

Xi Yan: "Wait a minute, girl, I have something for you!"

"it is good!"

Xiyan quickly returned to his room and when he came out again, he was holding a bundle and said, "Brother Kuishan asked me to make it into ready-made clothes before giving it to you. I have already asked someone to make it..."

"Okay, thank you!" An everyday expression spoken casually.

"Miss, why are you thanking me? I am so embarrassed. Please don't say that again in the future."

A girl like this deserves all the respect, but she never puts on airs. She is the same to everyone, easy-going and amiable, very approachable.

Xiyan's heart is full of admiration!

"Let me deliver it to you!"

"No need, I can get it!"

Xia Shi took the bag, carried a basin of hot water, and went back to his room.

After washing and dressing up, she changed her appearance a little and became a very pretty young lady again. She put on the ready-made clothes issued by the company. Well, you know what, they were really fitted and comfortable, much more suitable than the clothes issued uniformly according to height.

It's so comfortable to wear.

He came out and asked Xiyan: "Which shop made the clothes?"

Xiyan: "...the shop in town, the best tailor!"

"Very good, I want to find that tailor to do it again in the future!"

"..."

After dinner, go to the workshop.

"Girl, where did you go for fun these two days?" Chatting with Xiyan on the way.

“Qingzhou, have you been there?”

"No, I am a servant boy in the mansion. I have lived in the Duke's Mansion since I was a child and have never traveled far..." The Gu family is his home and the Sixth Master is his relative.

"You can go and see it when you have time. The opera there is very nice, the oily chestnuts are delicious, and the roasted pig's trotters are a must..."

"..."

"What a coincidence! The kiln factory plans to open the kiln today. You came at the right time, girl. There is a nest of wild boars in the back mountain that are about to grow up. If the bricks they produce are of good quality, we can hunt them down and eat the meat at noon..."

It's not just a coincidence, everything is a coincidence, as the saying goes, there is no coincidence in the world, Xia Shi feels that he can be the protagonist of the book, come on, everyone, please give me some money if you pass by...,

"Hello, girl,"

"Hello girl!"

As I walked along, I saw many pedestrians on the road, and the city became more and more prosperous. People greeted me from time to time. No matter where I am, people always subconsciously respect knowledgeable people!

Besides, he is the one in charge.

There were people coming to sell firewood, fetch water, fetch soil, and even people from the neighboring village delivering vegetables.

A small workshop creates many jobs.

In order to keep the kiln going, it needs firewood all the time. A bundle of firewood costs one cent, and by picking up free branches from the mountains, one can earn seven or eight cents a day. This is a rare income for the family after the autumn harvest when there is nothing to do.

Everyone had a festive look on their faces because they didn't have to live off their savings like in previous years. Although the meals were not provided like in the formal years, it was at least some income which helped them get through the winter.

Walking all the way to the west side of the village, I saw that the vacant land where no grass grew was now covered with buildings.

A row of houses and a smaller kiln.

Er Zhuang was leading people to work hard in the open space, mixing mud, peeling, drying, and stacking...

There is enough food at home, so there is no need to worry, and everything is bustling.

"Let's go and open the kiln!" Following Xiyan's call, everyone started to move. All the hard work of these days would be put to good use.

The table was placed, the chicken and duck were placed, and there was a small ceremony. The firewood started to crackle.

Xiyan explained to Xia Shi: "Girl, I want to have a good start and good luck!"

"it is good!"

She shouted slogans with everyone!

When the kiln was opened, piles of bricks and tiles were brought out, and Erzhuang counted them.

"…80,000 bricks were produced this time, and 30% of them were defective."

Eighty thousand yuan is enough to build a row of bungalows for three families, but if one wants to build a formal large brick kiln, this small kiln needs to be fired at least a dozen times.

"It's my first time roasting this, and it looks great. I'll have meat for lunch today..."

"it is good!"

"great!"

"I'm also a craftsman!"

"I can bear it!"

"..."

After the excitement, several managers gathered together to wash the inkstone, Erzhuang, pickled vegetables, Xia Shi,

"What are everyone's opinions? Girl, please speak first?"

"Then I'll tell you. What I mean is, set aside 20,000 yuan, pull half an ox cart to the town, and make our workshop famous. Let the surrounding villages and grocery stores and brick and tile shops know that there is a brick factory in our village..."

"Yes!" Xi Yan continued, "We should also invite the old builders around to dinner, so that they can build houses first and think of recommending our bricks..."

Xia Shi: "We will use the remaining bricks to draw the foundation line later. From now on, we will build a formal large brick kiln... After it is built, this small kiln will be used to make some small items..."

Suancai: "We can set up a stall, have our own shop, or ask a brick and tile shop or a grocery store to sell on our behalf..."

"You have to go to the town to find out..."

"Then it's settled!"

After discussing it, several people took action separately.

After the ox cart was harnessed and loaded with sample bricks, Xia Shi had also drawn the foundation and arranged everything else.

Erzhuang stayed behind to take charge of production.

The group washed the inkstones and picked the pickled vegetables, along with the eloquent Aunt Sun and Xia Shi, the four of them, carrying a cart of samples, and started to go to the town.

It was almost noon and the temperature was no longer so cold. It started to warm up, but the autumn wind was strong. Although it was neither cold nor hot, it was very dry.

Lou Junze stood at the top of the mountain road, staring at the figure going away. He saw her sitting on the cart, learning chores, and learning how to drive a cart happily, and her back gradually disappeared.

No movement for a long time!

……

The town is not far from here, because the geographical location of Xishui Village is really good.

The town was built along the commercial road, so the most common things in the town are restaurants, taverns and inns, which are mainly concentrated on Sandao Street, which is on the side of the commercial road.

Erdao Street is different. It is where some business streets occasionally trade goods, including furs and tea, as well as some large courtyards where goods can be stored.

There is only one street, where people go to the market every day.

There are grocery stores, food stores, cloth stores, wooden tables and chairs, second-hand stores, pawn shops, and places where people set up stalls to sell groceries.

Xiyan and Erzhuang went to two grocery stores to ask if they could sell the goods on their behalf. They also went to the government office to inquire about the procedures for buying the vacant land.

Xia Shi and Aunt Li, along with many other vendors, were guarding their carts on the street, occasionally shouting out something to show off their skills.

The main purpose is to let everyone know that there is a brick factory in Xishui Village.

"Brick, turn your head,"

"A new brick factory has opened in Xishui Village..."

"Yeah, is your village open?"

Aunt Sun was chatting happily with the lady selling eggs next to her. It was estimated that by evening, everyone in the village selling eggs would know about the opening of a brick factory in Xishui Village.

Xia Shi was tired and it was almost noon. He took out a bundle from the truck bed.

I opened the bundle and found a layer of oil paper wrapped inside. Inside the oil paper was a big bun that was still a little warm.

Otherwise, Xiyan was really considerate. He even steamed a pot of buns before going out.

Xia Shi took one, handed one to Auntie Sun who was chatting enthusiastically, and one to the egg-selling auntie who liked to advertise.

Take a bite, wow, it's delicious.

The buns were filled with vegetable stuffing, but they were also filled with finely minced meat, plenty of oil, and ground seasonings.

One bite and your mouth is filled with fragrance that spreads several meters away.

The ointment seller nearby drooled and said to Xia Shi, "Girl, why don't I tell you your fortune?"

Xia Shi turned his head to look at him. He was holding up a banner with the words: Cure all diseases!
