I became a vicious stepmother and I went to the sea to feed my three children.
Chapter 72: Suffering
The manpower required to build a bridge is definitely not something that can be accomplished by one or two people.
Moreover, Bai Qingyao hired them with a wage of three hundred coins a day. How could they not be tempted?
Bai Qingyao walked up to the man in the lead.
"You are Master Cheng, right?"
"Miss Bai."
The middle-aged man called Master Cheng saw Bai Qingyao coming over and thought of what Xu Zisheng had said to him before, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Master Cheng, you've been traveling so long, come and have some tea."
Bai Qingyao turned around and said a few more words to Gu Zhengde. He turned around and asked all the people around him to disperse.
After watching them leave, Bai Qingyao also took Master Cheng and the others to the Gu family.
Before coming, Master Cheng and the others had already heard about the situation of the Gu family. Now seeing the state of his family, Master Cheng and the others still looked a little bit unbelievable.
People who can afford to build a bridge across the sea now live in a place like this?
It's really hard to believe.
Bai Qingyao didn't know what he was thinking, and even if she knew, she would just smile indifferently.
"I heard that Master Cheng once built a bridge over water. He's an experienced veteran in this field."
"Miss Bai, you're overpraising me."
Although Master Cheng said this, his tone was relaxed, and he obviously agreed with Bai Qingyao's words.
To be honest, this is not his arrogance. He dares to say that apart from the people in the Ministry of Industry, he is definitely the best among the folk craftsmen.
Moreover, even he knew of only a handful of major individuals who had ever built a bridge over water.
"I wonder if Miss Bai has any requirements for this bridge construction?"
Master Cheng got straight to the point. He had heard about building bridges at sea before, but this was his first time actually putting it into practice.
This is also the main reason why he came here this time.
For a good builder, new challenges are the most tempting challenges for him.
Hearing what he said, Bai Qingyao took out the drawing she had drawn earlier and placed it in front of Master Cheng.
"Master Cheng, this is my idea about building a bridge. Please take a look at it first."
As soon as Bai Qingyao placed the drawing in front of Master Cheng, Master Cheng was attracted by the things on the drawing.
This blueprint is the most suitable one chosen by Bai Qingyao after considering all the blueprints in the sea-hunting system.
"This……"
At first, Master Cheng thought it was just an ordinary drawing, but his eyes were fixed on it and he couldn't pull his eyes out. This drawing... was really too exquisite.
Moreover, he had never seen this style of bridge before.
"Sure enough... This kind of construction can truly withstand the erosion of waves and increase its service life. It's truly the best construction..."
Master Cheng watched and muttered to himself, the light in his eyes growing brighter.
After a while, he suddenly looked up and looked at Bai Qingyao on the side.
"Miss Bai, who drew this blueprint?"
He was a little excited and his eyes never left the drawings in his hand.
"I drew this blueprint. Is there any problem?"
"No! It's just perfect!"
Master Cheng nodded quickly. Even though he had been in charge of bridge construction for many years, he had never seen such detailed drawings. Even the materials and shapes used were marked out.
It seemed that there was no need to try at all. He went over these ideas in his mind and found that they were all feasible!
It's amazing.
"only……"
However, despite his excitement, he still had a question in his mind: "From the drawings, it can be seen that the materials used to build the bridge do not seem to be the same as ordinary materials."
"Master Cheng, don't worry about that. I've prepared everything."
All the materials were taken out of the gift pack.
I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, but I always feel that when she needs something, the system will give it to her in the gift package.
When did she get so lucky?
If she was really lucky, she wouldn't have come here.
"That's great! That way, we can start work this afternoon!"
"So fast?"
Now it was Bai Qingyao who was shocked. Even though she was anxious, she was not that anxious.
When Master Cheng heard Bai Qingyao's surprised voice, he touched his smooth chin embarrassedly.
"Well, it's better to build something as quickly as possible."
Bai Qingyao smiled and said, "You've been exhausted from the journey. You should start work tomorrow. Besides, we need to select some suitable personnel."
The few people they brought were far from enough to build a bridge.
"Yes, we need more manpower."
Their family couldn't let them stay, so she discussed with the village chief and decided to let them stay at the village chief's house temporarily, which would be more convenient.
After arranging all these, Bai Qingyao prepared to go back to Taoshui Village.
Taoshui Village is her mother's hometown. After meeting Bai Qingshan last time, she felt something was wrong. She always felt that her elder brother seemed to be very short of money that time, but because of her, he didn't dare to speak up.
She planned to go back to her parents' home before starting work.
After marrying into the Gu family from Taoshui Village, she had never returned home sincerely except to ask for money. This was a good opportunity for her to discuss with her parents about moving in with her in the future.
Anyway, the island is big enough, and the Bai family is not a safe home...
"Mother, are we going out?"
Watching Bai Qingyao packing up her things, the three little ones came running in from outside. Gu Zexuan was holding a storybook that Xu Zisheng had given him. It was a book full of pictures that would help children learn.
Bai Qingyao took a look, her eyes flickering slightly, but she quickly looked away and answered them.
"Yes, I met your Uncle Qingshan last time and promised him that I would go home. What? Don't you want to go to grandma's house?"
"miss you!"
The three little ones said in unison.
Grandma used to be very nice to them. In her original life, she was not nice to them, but she would secretly give them delicious food.
There are also several uncles who are very kind to them, so they like the Bai family very much.
"Okay then, Mom will pack up and take you there."
Taoshui Village is not far from Dayuan Village, but not close either.
The distance was at least ten miles, and she couldn't possibly walk there with the three little ones.
Bai Qingyao went to Uncle Niu's house at the village entrance and rented their ox cart, preparing to take the three little ones with her, which would make the trip much faster.
This was her first time visiting Taoshui Village since she came to this world.
The area around Taohua Town is close to the sea, and as they walked along, the most they saw was the sea water.
The three little ones were observing their surroundings with curiosity.
Although the Bai family was kind to them, they had never been to the Bai family before. Before, the Bai family would come to the Gu family to visit them. The three little ones were still very excited to go out this time.
After walking on the road for about half an hour, we finally arrived at Taoshui Village.
