Men, listen, grab the top of the mountain and stand in the center position

…Everyone was envied. Si San had plowed the most fields, so he always took home the most food! And there was even a reward for first place!

"Brother, Si Sanquan wants wheat."

Ji Shou looked at Wangshu, and Wangshu looked at the team leader of her rice field team, who was hardworking and hunched over like an old ox.

"Give Uncle Si eighteen bowls. He has the most rice and it grows the best. I'll give him a pickled cabbage as a reward."

Si San burst into tears. He didn't know how to count, but he had someone counted the amount early on and found out that he was only entitled to seventeen bowls of wheat and a copper coin.

...Everyone was envious and drooling. Most of them had tasted the pickled cabbage. It was sour, crispy and delicious. They couldn't stop eating it. It was sold for seven cents per cabbage in the city!

.........

"On Thursday, the original price was 27 cents. After deducting 10 cents, I get 17 cents!"

Thursday came up dejected.

“…I want wheat.”

Ji Shou scooped him a six-square-meter bowl.

Fifty farmers. Thursday was the last day to receive their wages. There were still more than two kilograms of wheat left, a whole jar of pickled cabbage still unopened, two heads left from the opened jar, and half the braised pork left.

Ji Wu raised his hand and said, "If any of you brothers want to buy braised meat and pickled vegetables, go ahead and buy them yourself. They're cheaper than in the city!"

The soldiers, who had more money, quickly sold out these small pieces of braised meat and pickled cabbage. Some even nibbled at them once they bought them, put them in their pockets, and then took them out again after a while, and so on, until they had eaten them all.

Those who were carrying pickled vegetables couldn't help but tear off small pieces and share them with the brothers, and everyone ate them with relish.

There were two loose lotus leaves in the pickle jar and some minced meat in the stewed meat pot. Ji Shou looked at Zhou Si, who was standing there in frustration. While the young lady was not paying attention, he quietly stuffed two dried lotus leaves into his hand and said, "Hurry back!"

On Thursday, I woke up as if from a dream, was so happy that I ran away with my legs tucked together!

What you buy is not what you sell.

Wangshu got on the carriage carrying a heavier bag of money than when he came, and said, "Let's go to the Qin family."

When it came to laying the Qin family's floor heating, Tang Bo still looked for the three brothers who had built the walls and the new stove. The east wing was the first to be built. They dug the ground to lay a fire channel. There was a hole in the ground of one side of the ear room for the fire channel. When they lit a fire in the hole, the heat was transmitted to the house through the fire channel. In winter, they could spread felt blankets and sit on the floor.

Wangshu opened the door and bent down to take a look. There was a ground heating system under the surface bricks of the indoor floor. There was an artificially built curved and staggered chimney connected to the large pit for burning firewood under the eaves of the ear house.

"Once the fire is lit in the pit, the heat flows through the flue and spreads to the ground, keeping away the cold. In the summer, we build a reed mat awning in the yard, which provides shade and ventilation, making it very pleasant. This thing keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer, and it's very comfortable!"

The oldest of the three brothers explained the process to Wangshu. This underground plumbing was difficult to build. They had to dig underground, remove mud and soil, and pay attention to the size of the chimney and the firmness of the ground. Just across the wall was the meat-braising kitchen, so they couldn't work without sending up a cloud of mud. The three of them worked meticulously and slowly, and after three months, they finally finished this rather large room, which doubled as a bedroom, a small study, and a small living room.

Xia Mimi brought firewood and lit the kang on the spot, and the effect was exactly as people said.

Then Wangshu settled the wages for the three men in the dragon shop. Usually, these three men liked to add some bills for braised meat, chicken, duck, groceries and pickled vegetables. Even after deducting these bills, the wages were actually quite a lot. Wangshu poured the money bag on the table, counted the copper coins in threes and threes, and asked Xixi to bring a scale to weigh the change.

After distributing them, there were only three copper coins left...

"I'll do the floor dragon in the master bedroom later when I have money."

Wangshu took out the three copper coins and put them back into her purse. She naturally knew that these three people were slacking off on her work. The quality was good, but they were bullying her because she couldn't come every day and there was no one to supervise. The entire construction period cost almost half a tael of silver more than the expected cost that Qin Xiuyuan had told her!

"Didn't we agree to have three rooms?" The second child originally wanted to say that the man in charge of the family had the final say and she had no say, but she had to be in charge of the money. It really made her angry!

"Originally I wanted to make it a master bedroom, a wing room, and a small study. Since the wing room is quite large, I thought the adjacent wing room could be converted into a small study. This room took three months to remodel, which was expensive and time-consuming. If I were to convert it into a bedroom, my fiancé would have nowhere to stay when he comes back. Okay, enough talk. He had discussed this salary with me at the beginning, and now that I'm married, it's already quite a bit short of what we agreed on."

Three brothers:……!!!

"We do this job with great care! You won't get this kind of quality from other companies!"

Wangshu was impatient. "You're talking nonsense! It includes a dinner, and I paid more! Who else can match my price? How come I spent all this money and treated you to a meal, and you dug this earth dragon for me? And I have to thank you for your meticulousness! How ridiculous!"

"You motherf*ck..." The second brother was so angry that his head was buzzing. No woman had ever dared to scold them like that.

The eldest brother next to him was so frightened that he hugged the second brother's arm and hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "Then we'll go first!"

The three of them went out with silver and copper coins.

"This woman is so fierce! Big brother, why do you have to bow down to her?"

The boss shook his head. "She has a point... Well, we were thinking of stalling for a few more days... Her man asked us for our price and has been keeping an eye on us for a month, so he's got a pretty good idea of ​​our progress. He probably talked it over with her."

If they worked diligently and didn't slack off, they could have finished the master bedroom's floor heating before her husband came back. Now, they didn't have three months left... They couldn't say for sure, they could rush the work and finish it within two months... Otherwise, that woman would say, "The master bedroom is not much smaller than the wing room, how can it be finished a month faster?"

The second one took a break. It was because her husband was not around and she didn't come often, but from time to time there were big orders from wealthy families in the kitchen, and she earned more money than they did by working hard... This woman was so damn tough!

The third brother remained silent. He had originally told his two brothers not to fool the young lady, after all, they were very shrewd... Apparently, they had given her a generous braised meat set meal when they finished the job last time, and this time, they were still trying to get back at her for the three copper coins...

How many people in Yaocheng are starving and drinking soup right now... Where can they find such a good job!

The two of them took some time to clean the east wing and wipe the windows and tables clean. They were thinking about stopping using the floor heating so that the kitchen would be much more relaxed without the dust flying all day long.

As a result, the next day Wangshu brought six bricklayers to check the floor heating of the east wing, evaluate the layout and space of the master bedroom, and asked them to give a rough wage plan.

"You have to do your work well, quickly and efficiently. I'll keep you well fed. You'll be paid on time. If you can do better than what you do outside, I'll give you a reward."

The six bricklayers signed a contract on the spot and moved everything from the master bedroom to the east wing in just one afternoon, and started working with a bang.

Ji's father watched his daughter go out of the city to inspect the rice fields early in the morning every day, rush back at noon, take a nap, and then go to Qin's house to supervise the work in the afternoon. After dinner, she had to do the daily accounts, and keep a clear record of every expenditure in the three places. He felt very distressed.

"Shushu is even more tired than me. Those three brothers really don't know what's good for them!" Taking advantage of the lack of supervision, they slacked off on their work! The goodwill I had earned from building the courtyard wall and the new stove was instantly gone!
