I have been farming since I crossed over.

Everyone came to the thatched hut and sat together to discuss things.

Yang Mingxi asked, "Lu Jintang, how many yards do you still need to build over there? How many bricks are needed?"

Lu Jintang thought for a moment and said, "We've already built 16 bricks in the main courtyard. We only need one more. The bricks inside are almost ready. The bricks that my third uncle will deliver tomorrow will be used to build the house next door. One kiln will be enough."

Uncle Wu nodded and said, "Xiao girl, if you want to build a house, you can start working on the foundation. While your cousins are here, the foundation can be dug in two or three days. That will be just in time for the bricks to be produced, so you can start building the house."

Yang Mingxi said, "Okay, I think so too. But I guess it's not just our family, but also my uncles and aunts. They should also build houses."

"It's okay, take your time!" said Uncle Wu.

"Third uncle, let's make tiles after we have fired two kilns at home! The tiles are just like what I told you. I wonder how the model of fifth uncle is going?" After saying this, Yang Mingxi looked at fifth uncle Wu.

"It's all right! A lot of tiles have been made. They should be ready to burn in three or four days, right, brother?" said Uncle Wu.

"Well, we have made more than 100,000 tiles. Tiles are fired quickly, one kiln a day, and one kiln can produce 100,000 tiles. I estimate that the two kilns of the Lu family cannot use up all the tiles, so the third brother and I have discussed to produce one kiln of bricks tomorrow, and then fire two more kilns later. We will fire two kilns of tiles and then bricks." Uncle Wu said.

"Okay, just make the arrangements. Uncle, please help take a look at our house tomorrow. We're ready to start construction." Yang Mingxi said.

"Okay, this is easy." said Uncle Wu.

Seeing that Yang Mingxi and the others had almost finished their discussion, Lu Jintang said, "Uncle, Miss Xi, shouldn't we discuss the price of bricks and tiles? I've already used so many bricks, and I still haven't been paid for them."

Yang Mingxi slapped his head and thought, "That's right, Lu Jintang hasn't paid for the bricks yet?"

Yang Mingxi looked at Uncle Wu and asked him to name a price. Uncle Wu said, "Mr. Lu, you know our bricks are worth five regular bricks, and the quality is even better than what you'd find out there. Bricks out there are two coins and ten yuan, so what do you think of our bricks at five coins and ten yuan?"

Lu Jintang smiled and said, "Uncle is taking care of me! Aren't you going to suffer a loss?"

Uncle Wu said, "No, I think our brick kiln is mainly targeting the nearby villages, so the discount is a little bit, but it's not a loss."

"Okay, let's do as my uncle said, Mr. Lu. The first 2000 pieces are given to you as a gift. You just need to pay for the next 10 kilns." Yang Mingxi made the decision.

"Okay, here's the total of 75 taels of silver for you." Lu Jintang readily took out the silver and gave it to Yang Mingxi.

Yang Mingxi took the money and said, "Okay, do you want a receipt?"

"Need not."

"Okay, then if you want the bricks at the back, just let me know in advance. I'll call you when the tiles are ready, and then you can top out your house."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, uncles."

"..."

The uncles looked at the two men going about their business, and they couldn't help but shake their heads. They wondered if what they had imagined was still far off.

Lu Jintang could see that both the Yang and Wu families liked him, but Yang Mingxi hadn't noticed yet. Lu Jintang smiled and shook his head at the Wu uncles, then looked at Yang Mingxi and said, "Okay, it's late, I'll go home first. I'll come directly to get bricks tomorrow and build the house next door tomorrow."

"Okay, go ahead! Be careful on the road." After Yang Mingxi said that, she stood up and prepared to take a shower and go to bed.

"Girl Xi, please send Mr. Lu out!" Uncle Wu said.

"Ah, why? After I sent him off, he sent me off. It was too troublesome. He could go back quickly by himself." Yang Mingxi muttered.

"Well, no need to see me off. Uncle should go to bed early. I'm leaving now." Lu Jintang said and turned away.

Yang Mingxi was so sleepy that she quickly washed up and went to bed. When she was about to fall asleep, she suddenly remembered that she had to harvest in her space today. She jumped up and went into the space.

The bitter melons in the space can be harvested. After harvesting them, Yang Mingxi discovered that another small box was lit.

Last time, when I was planting bitter melons, I had already lit a small box: tomatoes. But I had taken out all the bitter melon seeds, so I'd been planting bitter melons for the past twenty days. Yang Mingxi thought she wouldn't light up a small box again, but unexpectedly, another one had lit up. Yang Mingxi couldn't tell what this small box contained. It was a round, egg-like object with a black mass inside.

Yang Mingxi put down the tomato in her hand and picked up the round object. As soon as it touched her hand, it cracked open and about twenty yellow furry little animals came out, startling Yang Mingxi.

At this moment, a voice came from Yang Mingxi's mind: "Congratulations on opening the animal section."

Yang Mingxi squatted down and took a look. It turned out to be chicks. As if she had thought of something, she quickly ran out of the bamboo house. On the grass next to the bamboo house, there was a chicken farm that had appeared out of nowhere. Yang Mingxi drove all the chicks in.

I looked around and saw a food bowl and a water bowl in the chicken farm, both of which were empty. I turned around, picked up the water bowl, filled it with water from the creek outside, and put it in.

What should I do with the food bowl? Yang Mingxi returned to the bamboo house, looked around, and took some corn out to put in the food bowl. The corn naturally turned into cornmeal in the food bowl, and the chicks happily ate it.

Yang Mingxi scratched his head and thought, the road in space is deep, I want to go back to the countryside.

After sighing for a moment, Yang Mingxi went back to the bamboo house to get some tomatoes and planted them in the ground before leaving the space and falling asleep.

The next day, Yang Mingxi woke up to a commotion. After getting dressed and washing up, she walked out the door and saw her family and Uncle Wu already scouting for a spot, preparing to dig the foundation.

It turned out that last night, Uncle Wu went to Old Yang's house, found Yang Laowu and Mrs. Wu, asked about the birth dates of the fifth room, and calculated the date. He found that February 19th was a good day to break ground and lay the foundation.

Look, everyone came here early in the morning to prepare for the groundbreaking ceremony.

Seeing that Yang Mingxi had already gotten up, Wu came over and said, "Xi'er, go wash your face and get dressed. The groundbreaking ceremony will begin after a cup of tea."

Second aunt also came over and said, "Xiao girl, come on, let me comb your hair for you. Time is running out."

Yang Mingxi followed her second aunt back to the thatched cottage in a daze, and sat down while her second aunt took care of her.

When they came out dressed, they saw everyone kneeling. Uncle Wu saw Yang Mingxi coming and shouted, "Xi'er, hurry up, the auspicious time is almost here."

Yang Mingxi ran over and knelt down, then heard Uncle Wu say, "Good luck to the start of the project, no taboos, good luck to the beginning of the project, step by step to success, one brick put down will determine the fate of the world, and the auspicious star will shine brightly and the house will be completed. Your hands are skillful and you will create a talent pool, and future generations will be talented. Break ground."

Yang Laowu and Yang Minghu stood up, one with a hoe and the other with a shovel, and dug heavily.

Yang Mingyang lit a firecracker and it started to crackle.

Uncle Wu took out the prepared grains and copper coins and scattered them to the kneeling people from the fifth branch of the Yang family. Everyone quickly pulled up their clothes to catch them.

After finishing, the boys from the Wu family shouted, "Let's start digging the foundation!" A group of people started digging.
