There is a home in the depths of the white clouds

When Wu Youwei went back, sure enough, the housekeeper had already set up the kitchen, and Chef Fang was writing the menu.

There is no shortage of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, as well as some chicken, duck, fish, and vegetables, but because there are only so many of them, the quantity is large but the portion is not large.

Wu Youwei directly asked Xiao Xiao and the housekeeper to take the carriage out to buy.

I came back after a while. It turns out that there is a vegetable market nearby, and shopping is very fast.

At noon, I showed my skills and made a delicious lunch.

In fact, there are not many things, especially since it is already summer. Green vegetables are leeks, spinach, and rapeseed.

Because he ate here, Wu Youwei didn't pay much attention to those things, he just ate the same meal as everyone else, so there was no need to cook it for him alone.

The portion of these four dishes and one soup is also sufficient, and the white flour steamed buns bought outside are served. Chef Fang’s home is ready to leaven the noodles

After eating lunch at noon and getting up after taking a nap, Wu Youwei had to start arranging staff, and they will go back tomorrow.

Butler Lin is very capable, he has already made arrangements, but some things need Wu Youwei's nod before they can be carried out.

Chef Fang naturally wrote a bunch of ingredients. He knew that he would cook for a family of fifty in the future.

It was a last resort to let the master eat the same food as them today. They took the master's light, and it will not work in the future. Master and servant are different.

The servants can only eat two dishes and one soup, one meat and one vegetable, and the soup is optional.

The master eats four dishes and one soup, two meat and two vegetables, and the soups come with the seasons.....

The two doctors also wrote a bunch of things, they want all kinds of medicinal materials.

Steward Lin said to Wu Youwei: "Do you want the two doctors to set up a pharmacy at home?

"Build one in Wujia Village, let the two of them see the family members every month, ask about doctors, and when the shop is due to be taken back next year, they will open a pharmacy and invite two old doctors and their sons and daughters to come. In charge of the pharmacy, it is cheaper to see a doctor and take medicine in the village and at home." This is what Wu Youwei meant.

So Lin Butler arranged it like this.

In addition to the cook and the doctor, the jade carving master Ai Ai Qi Qi came over and asked Wu Youwei: "Master, my little one... can I buy some jade materials?"

This is something that costs money, and even better jade materials are very expensive.

"Don't worry, there are plenty of jade materials at home." Wu Youwei looked at the jade carving master surnamed Mu in front of him, and said in a soft voice: "At that time, you always want to carve whatever you want!"

Master Mu grinned, and then said fearfully: "You don't have to be so polite with the little one."

Wu Youwei sincerely respects craftsmen, especially Master Mu, who is the oldest of them all. His hands are full of hard calluses, and he has sold himself. He still keeps his set of carving tools handed down from his ancestors. Willing to sell.

His son Mu Dalin is learning the craft from him, but because there is not much jade to practice, the progress is slow.

In fact, this kind of craft requires a lot of practice. Familiarity makes perfect, but who can let him "familiar"?

Yiyi heard that there were a lot of jade materials in the new owner's house, and immediately became happy.

Wu Youwei knew that these people had to spend a lot of time and money to find out the good and the bad, so he simply said: "By then, you father and son will be busy."

He purposely brought Master Mu's son Mu Xiaosheng with him, and sure enough, Master Mu's face turned red!

But then he said modestly: "How can his craftsmanship be accomplished!"

"Whether it is successful or not is in practice, if you practice more, you will be successful." Wu Youwei has countless gems, and he is also very generous: "That's the deal!"

Hey, hey! "Master Mu's excited eye circles are red.

Cui Er, a carpenter, is going to look at the timber. He heard that the family needs to make furniture; Cui Si, a bricklayer, is going to see some things he can use. Ancient houses need to be repaired every year; and the housekeeper also wants to buy some things. The master just moved there, so he doesn't understand anything!

Wu Youwei found out that his family needed to buy a lot of things. At that time, the Wu family never thought of being so thoughtful and only gave him money. When the time comes, the money will be gone!

Sure enough, he was plotting against him!

Don't underestimate these miscellaneous daily necessities, they cost a lot of money together!

Especially lumber is the most expensive and difficult to obtain, and Wu Youwei has a headache when he thinks about it.

"My lord, I want to buy some needles and threads." But at this moment Xu Niang came over: "I don't have enough needles and threads."

She came here because she heard that someone was out shopping. I don't know if the master will allow her to go out.

"Yes." Wu Youwei agreed: "Let Xiaoxiao bring you some money to buy some good needles and threads. There are a lot of materials at home, which are enough, so you don't need to buy materials."

Xu Niang didn't expect Wu Youwei to be so happy, but she was even happier: "Master Xie, don't worry, the servants will come back after buying things, not far away, there is an embroidery shop outside this alley, selling needles, thread, cloth and embroidery It's cheap and affordable." "Okay, let's go together!" Wu Youwei gestured for Xiaoxiao to take the money.

Xiaoxiao didn't know the price of needlework, so she asked Xu Niang, "How much do you need? Ten taels?"

"Five taels is enough". "Xu Niang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Just buy some better embroidery needles and silk threads.

Xiao Xiao smiled awkwardly: "I have no experience, so I don't know how much money is suitable.

"Then you go and have a look with me. You have been serving the master for a long time, and you know what kind of clothes the master usually wears, so I can buy similar threads." Xu Niang said with a smile: "By the way, tell me one by one, master. Do you like gorgeous dressing style? Simple or..."

While talking, a group of people walked out...

The others started to pack their things, Wu Er went out and hired two carts, the carts they brought couldn't fit so many people.

And I have to buy some things to take back.

At least two bare pigs have to be bought. With so many people, let alone eating braised pork, at least there must be some oily smell in the dish, right?

The medicinal materials were not bought immediately, and this thing required professionals to inspect the goods on the spot, so Wu Youwei merged the two doctors into one.

A pharmacy will be set up in the village first, and then they will be picked up after everything is settled.

Is it possible to live at home? "The housekeeper's wife, Mrs. Lin Zhang, and Hui Niang, in the meaning of Conghui, took the time to ask Wu Youwei.

Wu Youwei was taken aback: "Probably, can you stay here?"

As soon as Hui Niang heard it, she knew that the master might not have thought that much.

"If you can't live there, master can you think about how to settle down?" Hui Niang said persuasively, "They all belong to the same family.

Wu Youwei thought for a while: "You are right!"

He turned around and went to the main room, where the housekeeper had temporarily tidied up a simple study room.

Spread out a large piece of rice paper, splash ink, and draw a picture of the renovation of Wujia Village.

Wujia Village is full of mud houses. He has long disliked them. The blue brick and tile houses he lives in are clean and refreshing. Wujia Village should also be full of blue brick and tile houses. Just collapse the house.

Don't believe it, this kind of thing was very common in ancient times, and earthen embryonic houses also need to be repaired every year, which is more troublesome than tile-roofed houses.

It’s not stylish and not good, Wu Youwei decided to rebuild Wu’s Village, building brick houses, all on the same level, and building roads, which are also very important, anyway, they are close to the official road, as long as they build Just next to the official road, it is easy to walk without breaking taboos.

The official road is for those who are officials, and ordinary people can only walk along the official road.

Fortunately, this is the outskirts of Beijing, the roads are in good condition, and there are good people in Beijing who want to be famous, and they build bridges and roads in time, and the roads are much better than other places.

As long as the road from Wujia Village to Da Dao is repaired, it will be fine.

He also learned some architectural design back then, and he also knew a little about roads. He drew road drawings, thought about it, and drew two rows of apricot trees and two rows of willow trees on both sides.

When he was in college, there was a section of road with tall poplar trees on both sides. It is said that they have grown for 30 to [-] years. Every time he passed there, the scenery was very beautiful.

The tender leaves in spring, the shade in summer, the fallen leaves in autumn wind, the white trees hanging frost in winter snow...

So he also wants to plant these trees for his own home. Although it is ancient times and there are no sandstorms or smog, he still likes trees.

In Wujia Village, he drew [-] small houses in one go, each of which is a three-entry courtyard, with cross-yards on the east and west sides, which can be used to raise poultry and livestock while opening up a vegetable garden.

There is also privacy.

There is also a vegetable garden behind the back room. Of course, if my daughter is happy, she can also plant flowers and plants. It would be nice to have a small garden.

But Wu Youwei reckons that they may not grow flowers...only some vegetables and fruits for self-sufficiency.

Wu Youwei now has money in his hand, if he runs out of money, the big deal is to sell some jade. There is an old saying: Gold has a price and jade is priceless!

This thing is worth old money!

Also, the road from my home to Wujia Village needs to be paved with bluestone slabs. Well, the road to Wujia Village is even more so. I strive to make it so that as long as I walk on the road, I can't get soiled.

There must be a medical center, which needs to be built separately, and a carpenter's shop can be used to repair some farm tools; there is no need to set up a separate shop for the bricklayers, as long as everyone knows it, it can be attached to the carpenter's shop. They all work together, and a few times they work separately.

The village has been expanded, so naturally there must be some additions, at least a grocery store, and those who can't buy oil, salt, sauce and vinegar have to go to the capital, right?

Mr. Wu is honest, he can read characters, and he can settle accounts, so let his family open a grocery store.

There are medical clinics and grocery stores. This village is considered prosperous, but the population is small, and the prosperity is not so prosperous. It can only be said that everything is very good. What Wu Youwei built is like a peach blossom garden in the Ming Dynasty place.

He also painted many apricot trees around Moling Lake. The ancients called the test "Chunwei". .

Wu Youwei planted apricot trees in the open space around Moling Lake. When the season came, the lake water and apricot blossoms were the most beautiful scenery.

For a while, I had a tacit understanding, and drew a stone tablet at the intersection of Wujiacun, and wrote: Wujiacun.

And a memorial archway was drawn at the intersection, with four words written on it: Xinglin is in sight.

Thank you Cao Dashen for his legacy!

After Wu Youwei drew a big frame, everyone who went out came back.

They bought a lot of things, and everyone was still thinking about it. They only knew that the master was a good person after only one day, because the master ate the same food as them.

Moreover, since entering the house, everyone has washed up, and the dust on the women's faces has gone, and their appearance can no longer be concealed.

Chef Fang's daughter, Xu Niang's daughter Xu Xiang'er and other young girls who were worried at first were very anxious, but found that the master didn't even look at them, and he had no intention of nostalgia. The girls felt very safe in their hearts.

Right now, I'm thinking of buying something so that I can serve the master in the future and use it in my new home.

It was Hui Niang who dragged Lin Su who came back and said, I am afraid that the master can't accommodate so many people, especially these people are from a family, both men and women, and there are children.

Lin Su approached Wu Youwei to talk about it, and Wu Youwei said: "I have already drawn a general blueprint, and we will start work after we go back, first build a house, and they will all settle in Wujia Village later, um, there is no place to live, Let’s squeeze in Wujia Village first.” Wujia Village has few people, and the houses were built quite big at the time, and there are a few empty rooms, and it’s not too cold, so it’s no problem to live there. "Maybe show it to the little one?" Lin Butler was afraid that the master would not know how to build the house and design the blueprints randomly, which would make people laugh at that time.

"Call Cui Si, isn't he a bricklayer? He should be in charge of building the house." Wu Youwei also knew that he was half-hearted, and of course it was more appropriate to entrust such a major matter to a professional.

After a while, Cui Si came, not only him, Cui Er also followed.
