A small peasant girl who traveled through time and space picked up a war god prince
Chapter 24 Old House Implementation Plan
So, they arrived at Sun Maolin's residence. Seeing them, Sun Maolin asked, "Who are you looking for?" Siyu looked at the energetic old man and inquired, "Excuse me, are you Master Sun?" Sun Maolin replied, "Yes, what do you want to talk to me about? Hello, Master Sun, I want to build a house. I heard you're the foremost architect in our Yulong Dynasty, so I came to see you. Could you help me build it?" "I'm not going to build just any ordinary house. Do you have the blueprints?" Siyu replied, "Let me see." Sun Maolin took the blueprints, opened them, and examined them. "You drew this?" Siyu nodded, "Yes, Master Sun." Sun Maolin agreed without hesitation. "This blueprint is fantastic!" Sun Maolin exclaimed, "Great!" three times. "I'll take the job. I'll build it for you, but it'll take three months. But I have a request. I'm wondering if you can agree to it." Siyu replied, "Tell me about it." "When I finish building the house, can you sell me this blueprint?" Siyu replied, "Of course I can. If you want, I can draw a few more for you." Sun Maolin looked up and asked, "Can you draw other things?" Siyu said yes, and the two happily agreed. Sun Maolin said he would go tomorrow, and Siyu left her address and left. Siyu solved another big problem. The group went to the market and saw a braised pork stall. There was a crowd of people in front of it. Someone was complaining, "Why haven't I bought anything yet?" When Siyu walked over, she saw that it was sold out, so they all went back to the village together.
[My dears, this is my first time writing. If there are any shortcomings, please give me some pointers, support me, and urge me to update. Thank you. If you don’t like it, please don’t criticize me. Please leave. I wish you all a prosperous 2024.]
What Siyu didn't know was that after they left, a young girl of about fourteen or fifteen walked out of a restaurant. She was wearing a moon-white embroidered flowing cloud dress and was extremely beautiful. This person was none other than the Prime Minister's granddaughter Fang Miaoru. The little maid said, "Miss, don't leave. We sneaked out this time. If the Prime Minister finds out, he will beat me to death. Miss, you will also be locked up in the ancestral hall." Fang Miaoru was still complaining to the maid Xiaotao, "You said this cousin Xiao is also fine. What is he doing in a place like this? I can't find him." Xiaotao said, "Miss, when our people went out to look for him, they saw the War King's people looking here. We just followed them. If they find him, we will find him too." Fang Miaoru said, "This is the only way. We have no clues and not enough manpower. We can't send too many people out. Come on! Accompany me to go shopping and relax." Really.
Siyu and the others have all returned home and gathered together to discuss the success of their braised meat sales today. Siyu asked her mother how many offal items did Han the butcher deliver today? Her mother replied, "He delivered seven sets of offal today. I've already paid them the money. Your aunt and I have already cleaned the offal and are waiting for you to come back and braise them. However, this pot seems a bit small and can't hold seven sets. We need to buy a bigger pot for seven sets. I'm thinking of buying a big enough pot tomorrow." Siyu then talked to everyone about the braised meat sales. The sales at the several stores in Pingchuan County were also very fast and the sales were very good. They all said that they didn't get enough and it wasn't enough to sell. Siyu, you've all been selling for a whole day today, and I feel it's done.
Starting tomorrow, everyone will take their own goods to sell. You don't need too many people; two people will be enough to sell, and the rest can do something else at home. I'm starting to prepare for building a house tomorrow, and I need to hire people to clear the land. My mother and the aunts are good at embroidery, so they'll help make some small things. I'll draw the blueprints for them later. They asked what they were making. Siyu said, "Little dolls. Sit down. I'll give you three cents each." The aunts said, "Here's something else. Washing the goods makes ten cents a day. If I make a few more dolls, I'll make more than I would in the city. I can earn money right here at home."
Siyu said that today's braised meat was sold out and everyone earned 65 wen, and in the future it would be increased little by little to 30 to 50 jin every day, and the daily income would be 100-250 wen, plus other income. The aunts looked at each other and thought in their hearts that this was the copper coins from selling the braised meat every day, 10 from washing the drained meat, and more than 200 wen from making dolls every day, which is almost 8 taels of silver in this month, which is more than the income of the previous year. This girl is really capable and can do anything. Siyu, we have all gone back and will come with you in the afternoon to make the doll you mentioned. So everyone went home, Siyu also followed the family to prepare for dinner. During the meal, Siyu said, I have found a construction team today. It is said that it will take three months to build the house. During these three months, we have to build the house and provide three meals. Mother needs to hire more people who are clean and diligent to cook for the builders and pay them 20 cents a day. We also need to find people to reclaim the wasteland. Spring plowing is coming soon, so we have to hire more people. Let's find some diligent people in the village. Dad said that there are more than 400 households in our village, big and small, and it is too easy to find dozens of diligent people. Let's ask your clan leader grandfather to help you find some more people tomorrow. Siyu said okay. I said I wanted to make a curved plow on the day I bought the land. It happened that I had time today. I drew the blueprint and asked Uncle Qingli to make it. When we reclaim the wasteland, one person can do the work of four people easily. After dinner, Siyu asked her mother again, "Where are the soybeans I bought last time? I forgot about it. I'll soak the bean sprouts later. There aren't many vegetables right now, so it's a good time to plant some bean sprouts. That's how many vegetables will go on the table." Soybean sprouts are easy to grow. Just wash them in 35-degree water every day, changing the water four or five times to keep the surface of the soybeans moist. In about seven days, one pound of soybeans will produce 12 pounds of bean sprouts. Everything was ready. Siyu took the drawings and asked Dad to go with her to Fourth Grandma's house to find Uncle Qingli. When they got there, Siyu took out the drawings and asked Uncle Qingli, "Uncle Qingli, please take a look at the drawings." Bai Qingli saw what was drawn on the drawings and asked what it was. Siyu said, "This is a curved plow. It makes turning the soil easy and convenient." It saves several people from having to work. The plowing we use at home requires several people, and the oxen and people are tired too. So I drew this. Uncle Qingli, let's see how long it will take to make it. Bai Qingli looked at the drawing, which only had a few simple parts. He said this is easy to do. If we work quickly, it will take two hours. If we work together, we can do it in one hour. So with several people working together, it will be done in one hour.
Siyu said, "Let's go to the fields and try it out." Zhou Tingxuan also went with them to the fields to see if it worked. So a few people took a plow and led an ox to the wasteland to conduct an experiment. The villagers looked at them and saw what they were doing with the ox. What were they going to do? So one by one, a group of people followed behind them and went to the wasteland. The village head came out and saw so many people, thinking something had happened. When they got to the fields and squeezed through the crowd, they saw that they were plowing the fields! But why does this plow look so easy to use? It turns the soil so easily. So the village head also went to the fields, took the plow handle from Bai Qingli, and plowed around. He came back and said, "This is really easy, much easier than what we used before. Who made this?" Bai Qingli said, "Uncle village head, I made it. Siyu drew the blueprint." The village head looked at Bai Siyu and asked, "Girl, is this the magic tool you mentioned when you bought the land?" Siyu nodded and said, "Yes." Zhou Tingxuan said, "I want to try it too. Is that okay?" The village head handed Zhou Tingxuan the handrail, and Zhou Tingxuan walked around with it, saying, "It's so easy!" After seeing the results, everyone returned to Siyu's home. Everyone asked if they could borrow it. Siyu said that they could only borrow it after I finished clearing the wasteland. I was planning to make 20, so after I was clearing the wasteland, everyone could borrow it to open their own land. The villagers cheered, saying, "You are so good, girl Yu." Siyu took the opportunity to find 40 people to clear the 500 acres of wasteland and found four aunts to cook three meals a day for the people who were building the houses. All the arrangements were basically settled. After sending the villagers away, Siyu finally had time to rest. Zhou Tingxuan finally spoke to Siyu and asked if he could sell her the blueprint. Siyu asked him, "What do you want to buy it for?" At this time, she heard crying. "Daddy, Mom, Sister," Siyu hurried over to ask what was wrong. Ayu and Ahuan said their sisters were missing. Upon hearing the noise, their parents rushed over. Siyu asked, "How could they be missing?" Their parents hurriedly asked, "Yes, how could they be missing? Didn't we go out to play together?" Ayu and Ahuan replied, "We were playing together." It was Little Fatty from Old Lady Yang's family who said they wanted to play hide-and-seek. "Once we come out, we won't be able to find our sister." Mother started crying anxiously, and Dad said, "There have never been outsiders in our village. How could the children be missing?" Siyu asked, "Who else was there?" Ayu and Ahuan cried, saying there were many children around. Siyu said, "Don't cry now. Think about who was around." So, let's go find someone. Zhou Tingxuan went to the backyard and called the secret guards, asking if they had seen the little girl. The guards said no one from outside the village had ever been to the village. Master, you didn't leave the yard after you came back. The secret guard said he didn't know what was going on outside. Zhou Tingxuan asked the secret guard to help go out and find someone. Siyu was so anxious that she ran out to find her little sister. After all, she was only five years old. She had to ask the children she played with if they had seen any strangers or where they had gone. Siyu ran to the place where the children gathered, but there was no one there. She had no clues at all, so where could she go? At this time, a little girl with patches all over her body came out from behind a tree and said to Siyu, "Sister Siyu, I know where Xiaoya went." Siyu asked excitedly, "Really?" Where did he go? Siyu remembered the little girl. She was from Old Lady Yang's family. The youngest girl seemed to be called Wangdi. Xiao Wangdi said, I saw Bai Yaozu Bai Yaozong took Xiao Ya sister away. Siyu thought about the shamelessness of the old house family and did not dare to delay. She quickly ran to the old house. When she arrived at the door of the old house, she saw that the gate was open. The yard was quiet and there was no sound at all. Siyu walked into the yard and saw that every door was closed, only the door of the main house was open. Siyu knew that everyone must be in the main house. Siyu came to the door of the main house and saw Xiaoyu lying on the ground motionless. She ran into the main house. What Siyu did not notice was that there was a man holding a stick behind the door, standing there waiting for Siyu to enter the house. When she rushed into the house, she was knocked unconscious by a stick before she could react. Siyu thought, I was really careless. I was too worried. Otherwise, I would punish you little idiots. If I can't kill you, I will teach you a lesson when I come back.
Old Lady Li agreed. "The eldest and third sons, hurry up and get the sacks loaded, including the little boy, and have the matchmaker sell them far away. Don't let them come back and become an eyesore to me." Bai Musong and Bai Mulin loaded Siyu and Xiao Yu into sacks, placed them on a cart, and wheeled them out of the village. By then, the Bai family had frantically searched the village. The village head and clan leader were alerted, and the entire village chief's family had come out to search. Zhou Tingxuan and his secret guards were also searching in the mountains. They had assumed Xiao Yu had gone to play, but they hadn't realized they had been packed up and taken away from the old house. Just then, the village chief's grandson came running back, breathless, announcing where Siyu and Xiao Yu had gone. Bai Qingyuan and Lan Niang quickly gathered around, asking where they had gone. Little Siyang replied, "I saw Siyu run back to her hometown today. She hasn't come out since." Zhou Tingxuan clenched his fists upon hearing this. Without saying a word, I thought to myself, "You'd better hope that the little girl is okay. If anything happens, I will make sure you all bury her with me." Bai Qingyuan was thinking, "How much do you hate me? You actually took my two girls away quietly." Lan Niang finally couldn't hold on and fainted. Several aunts supported my mother and pinched her Ren Zhong. In the midst of the panic, my mother slowly opened her eyes. The clan leader and the head of the village said seriously, "Let's go to the old house. I want to ask him, Old Lady Li, what do you want to do?" So everyone followed the head of the village and several important elders to the door of the old house.
