The couple in the last days traveled to ancient times, farming and storing grain and meat in the war

Uncle Chen nodded heavily. He was not a fool, so how could he not know that they were taking care of their family?

Uncle Chen Qi and Aunt Chen's families were also very grateful.

The family already had an extra income every day because of Aunt Chen's work at the barbecue shop; a few days ago, they also earned more than one or two taels from selling litchi seeds. Life is better than last year.

Now there is a job to build a house, and it is such a big house... If it weren't for someone's care, how could such a big job fall into their family.

The next day, Jiang Ningning, Xiao Fushan and Jiang Shengcai went to the town and the county. After making inquiries, they found that it was more reliable to contract the work to a foreman named Yu in the town.

So, he signed a paper contract with Foreman Yu to build two houses.

On that day, Foreman Yu came to Zaoshu Village with them to participate in measuring and marking the foundation.

Uncle Chen Qi naturally also participated in these things, so that if there was anything that was not marked properly, he could ask the village chief to mark another piece on the spot.

The village chief never expected that Jiang Ningning's two families would either not build a house or build three, and both of them would mark out such a large foundation.

Especially the foundation for growing white fungus, the marking is very large.

However, seeing that Jiang Ningning and the others didn't seem to be short of money, the village chief wasn't worried that they wouldn't be able to pay for the foundation.

The land in the village is very cheap. The total cost of these three foundations is only fifteen taels of silver.

Uncle Chen had already made the arrangements last night and gave Jiang Ningning and the others a quote today. If he were to take care of the whole thing, it would cost eighty-five taels of silver.

Of course I gave him a discount, otherwise ninety taels would be fine.

Foreman Yu also gave a quote, which is written on the deed. The all-in price for each two-courtyard house is 220 taels, and for two houses it is 440 taels.

Since two were being built, Foreman Yu naturally gave us a discount, otherwise it would have been more than this.

According to what was written in the deed, Jiang Ningning paid the down payment on both sides.

Naturally, the money for the three foundations was paid to the village chief on the spot.

When the villagers saw Jiang Ningning and his friends marking the foundation, they knew that the two families were going to build houses and a workshop to grow white fungus.

You can tell how big the house will be by looking at the scope of the foundation.

I also heard that the house they were going to live in was going to be a two-story building made of blue bricks and tiles, with even the ground and the yard paved with tiles, and that it would cost at least five or six hundred taels of silver in total...

Maybe they were too envious before, or maybe they already knew that the two families would grow white fungus and make a lot of money, so this time, no one felt anything.

Of course, it’s not that I’m not envious, it’s more like my nerves for envy have become numb.

Otherwise, it would be impossible that even if he didn't feel anything, he would always look at the three new foundations of Jiang Ningning and the others, and then sigh heavily.

After Uncle Chen and Foreman Yu received the down payment from Jiang Ningning and her family, they immediately started buying materials and prepared to build a house for Jiang Ningning's family.

It was also decided that on June 20th, the construction of the house and the village would officially begin.

On the day construction officially begins, the early rice can be harvested.

Uncle Chen Qi's family naturally had no time to rush to harvest their rice, so they outsourced it to others. Even the Xiao family, too busy with their bean product workshop, had no time to rush to harvest the early rice, so they had to outsource it to others.

Anyway, there are more and more job opportunities in the surrounding villages, and many people don’t have to go to the county or further places to find work.

Jiang Ningning and her family's fields had long been contracted to Uncle Zhou's family for care, and Uncle Zhou's family would be responsible for the harvest and other work.

However, Jiang Ningning always pretended to tinker in the rice fields.

Everyone also noticed that the seedlings in Jiang Ningning's rice field grew better than those in other families. They were all surprised and wondered: Could it be that Jiang Ningning could really figure out some higher-yielding rice?

They all heard from Uncle Zhou's family that they had gathered 20 acres of paddy fields just to think about this.

It's no wonder they are so suspicious. Jiang Ningning is really too smart. It seems that she can figure out whatever she wants to figure out.

Especially when they learned that white fungus, which is so precious and difficult to obtain, could be grown at home by Jiang Ningning, they became even more suspicious.

That day, amid the sounds of threshing rice everywhere, Jiang Ningning went to the rice paddies again, and then went to the foundation to see how the buildings and the house were progressing.

The foundation has been laid and we are building upwards.

Jiang Ningning chatted with Uncle Chen Qi, Foreman Yu and others for a while before going home.

But before she got home, she saw Xiao Qing running towards her in a hurry.

"Ningning, Ningning, come with me quickly!" Xiao Qing came over and pulled her.

Jiang Ningning hurriedly caught up with Xiao Qing and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Qing ran so fast that she had to catch her breath before she could speak again. "A big dealer who sells goods from our place to other places came and asked for 2,000 kilograms of dried bean curd sheets. He's talking to my father and his family. My father and his family asked me to invite you over. They definitely want a written agreement, but they can't read."

When Jiang Ningning arrived, the big vendor was bargaining with Xiao Fuhua and the others.

The dealer laughed and said, "I'm buying so much, so you have to make it cheaper. That way I can buy from you again in the future, right?"

He exudes shrewdness from top to bottom.

Xiao Fuhua and the others were no match for this kind of person, and could only say in embarrassment:

"It's only a penny off per jin, and that's because you're buying 2,000 jin. Otherwise, the discount wouldn't be that much. If you were buying 5,000 jin or more, we'd definitely give you a 2-fen discount per jin without you even asking."

The dealer said, "But I'll buy more in the future. I'm sure it will be more than 5,000 kilograms."

Xiao Fuhua and the others laughed along and said, "That's not how it's calculated."

"Just make it cheaper, just make it cheaper."

As the saying goes, don't hit someone who smiles at you. Xiao Fuhua and the others didn't know what to do.

Just then, Xiao Fuhua and the others saw Jiang Ningning coming and hurriedly offered their seats to her, saying, "Ningning, please sit down. Please sit down."

Their original intention was to ask Jiang Ningning to help write the document, but they never expected that they would have to ask Jiang Ningning to help solve this problem.

Jiang Ningning naturally would not sit in the seats for the elders, but sat on another stool.

The dealer was a little surprised that Xiao Fuhua and the others were so enthusiastic towards a little girl, as if they had seen a savior, but he still had a smile on his face.

"Hello, Mr. Zhen, right?" Jiang Ningning greeted with a smile.

"Hello, young lady." The dealer also greeted her with a smile.

Jiang Ningning smiled and said, "It really can't be any cheaper. If you want us to save two cents per catty, how about buying more than 5,000 catties this time?"

The smile on the dealer's face froze, and he realized that the girl in front of him was not as easy to deal with as Xiao Fuhua and the others.

But after all, I have met a lot of people, so I still have some adaptability.

The dealer immediately smiled again and said, "It's still cheaper here, young lady. It costs money for me to sell it elsewhere. Do you know how far the road is? The manpower, the carriage, all cost money."

If you only offer a penny cheaper here, I won't make any money if I sell it somewhere else. So why should I sell it? It's better not to sell it at all.

You think so? "
