Chapter 105 Delivering hay and starting work【4】
Guardian Xue asked Craftsman Liu again: "Can it be done in ten days?"
Craftsman Liu took the drawings and looked at them in person After the circle, he smiled and said: "It won't take ten days, at most six." I can finish it for you in a day!”
Manager Xue said: “It must be done well.”
Artisan Liu: “I will definitely do it for you. It’s our reputation that’s being ruined!”
He explained further: "The foundation and beams of this house are good, and there are not many things that need to be replaced, so it can be done so quickly."
Although the ghost village is weird, there have been wealthy households in the ghost village before. The wealthy family's home is in the west of the village. The main house is the Qin family's mansion, and the secondary houses on the left and right are for two and three bedrooms. The materials and workmanship are all of the highest quality, so even if decades have passed, this shabby house will remain the same. Zhaizi is still very resistant.
But...
Craftsman Liu asked: "As soon as the You hour comes, we have to stop work and leave the village. If it rains normally, we have to leave at the same time. If there is a heavy rain, we will leave." On rainy days, we leave the village before it rains... Xue Guan We all know that it is better to believe that it is true than to believe that it is nothing."
Guanshi Xue was convinced and looked at Craftsman Liu who was as tall as a bear: "You are so strong and bearded, you are like a portrait. You can be used as a doorkeeper, why are you afraid of this?”
Craftsman Liu said: "You outsiders don't understand, but we locals understand very well. We have been scared since we were young, and it is rainy and gloomy. It is really difficult to stay in a ghost village for too long."
Other craftsmen also nodded: "Yeah, yeah, I've been here for a long time." , It will deplete the body's yang energy."
Manager Xue said: "Chengchengcheng, it's what you said, but if this is the case, then the wages cannot be calculated on a daily basis, but must be fixed at a fixed price. ”
What if you delay the construction?
"That's for sure." Craftsman Liu quoted the price again: "Ten people, six days of hard work, six taels of silver..."
Haha, Manager Xue sneered.
Artisan Liu: "Five taels?"
After seeing Manager Xue still showing displeasure, Artisan Liu gritted his teeth and said, "Forty taels of silver, let's settle it with the Xue family firm. Friends, in the future Xue Jiashang If you have any work, just come to us, how about it?”
Manager Xue then smiled: “Okay, sign the deed.”
After all, the Qin family’s house is nearby, for the sake of the female family. It's safe and must be signed.
Craftsman Liu and the others also had to sign when they went to work in the county town, so they signed without hesitation.
In order to finish the work early, Craftsman Liu immediately called to the craftsmen: "Work!"
"Hey!" The nine craftsmen immediately picked up their tools and started working.
With all the materials available, by the time you arrived, they had already built a row of large stoves.
Dang-dang-dang, Craftsman Liu banged the iron brick knife and shouted in a loud voice: "It's Youshi, Youshi, the sun is going down, hurry up and get out!"
"The time is up, retreat quickly." The other craftsmen hurriedly gathered their things and almost rushed out of the ghost village. The people of Zhoujia Village who were guarding the entrance of the village were confused.
This posture of being chased by ghosts, could it be that those things were provoked in the west of the village?
It’s so scary, and they are so scared. Can they go back to the village?
The children of the Zhou family all looked at the leader, Zhou Shisan.
Zhou Shisan was also afraid, but he said: "Stay half an hour longer and leave after half the time of the hour... Manager Xue and the others are also here, what are you afraid of?"
Disciples of the Zhou family: "..." That's because Steward Xue and the others are slaves and must obey the orders of their master. If Steward Xue is free, do you think Steward Xue can escape?
Zhou Shisan ignored them and just silently said in his heart: Infinite Heavenly Lord, protect me from evil spirits!
......
The next day, as soon as Chen Shi arrived, Craftsman Liu and the others came. Today, the materials are more complete and their progress is faster. By noon on the fifth day, they had finished their work.
Manager Xue brought Grandpa Qin, Qin Xiaomi, and Jiang Dalang together for inspection.
Master Liu and the others covered their noses one after another and hid aside... No wonder the Qin family dared to live in the west of the village. The smell was so strong that even ghosts did not dare to approach.
After Qin Xiaomi walked around in a circle, he smiled and said: "The work is very good, thank you all the masters."
All the collapsed ones were demolished, and new walls were built. The walls were also painted with a layer of white lime, making them very bright and clean.
Craftsman Liu held his breath and smiled and said: "The craftsmanship is passed down from family, and we dare not embarrass our ancestors... Manager Xue, please pay us the remaining wages."
Hurry up, this girl stinks so much, if we smoke it again, we have to pay more!
"Go to the entrance of the village and I'll pay you for your wages." Manager Xue couldn't hold it in any longer. The Qin family girl's body odor was so strong today that his head was swollen.
A group of people rushed out of the Jiang family's house and rushed to the village entrance with tacit understanding. They frightened the Zhou family again. They couldn't help but come up and ask: "Master Liu, is the west of the village really so evil? Even you are being raped. Scared.”
Dajiang Liu. The person nodded fiercely: "It's really scary, I can't bear it at all!"
No one can stand the smell of the Qin family girl... Fortunately, I escaped to the Northeast Prefecture. If I had gone to the capital, Or in Jiangnan Prefecture, if she smokes the nobles, she will be dragged to be beheaded!
After hearing this, the Zhou family members were so frightened that their legs trembled: "It really does happen, it really does happen! Brother Thirteen, let's go back early today."
If we stay any longer, the next one will be scared. They are.
People on both sides have their own opinions, but neither side is afraid of the true feelings.
"Master Craftsman Liu, here are the remaining two taels of silver. Take it." Manager Xue gave the money to Master Craftsman Liu, took out a booklet, pointed to it and said: "Come, sign here. Press fingerprints, This job is over."
Craftman Liu signed the money, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Thank you, Manager Xue, for the job. If you have any jobs in the future, come back to me, Liu Dashan."
Manager Xue thought Craftsman Liu was good and said with a smile: "The Qin family will build a new workshop this year. When the time comes, I will come back to you. You must continue to do a good job."
Listen, Craftsman Liu ,Face They all collapsed and said stiffly: "Well, we'll talk about it later... I'll say goodbye now, Manager Xue, take care of yourself."
The last half of the sentence was spoken from the bottom of his heart. He was really afraid that Manager Xue would be raped. Smoked crazy.
After saying that, Craftsman Liu and the others did not stay long and left immediately... They had to go home quickly to take a shower and change clothes, otherwise the wife would not be allowed to go to bed.
……
Qin Xiaomi and the others are still visiting the Jiang family house. The more they look at it, the more they like it, especially the main room on the left: "Da Lang, you can live more comfortably in the future... After the renovation, this room is like new. It is just plaster." The smell is strong.”
Lime was sprinkled to remove moisture, so the room smelled of lime.
Jiang Dalang looked at her and said with a smile: "Xiaomi, please make me a sachet. If I hang it in the room, the lime smell will not be so strong."
Qin Xiaomi agreed. "It's done. It's hot today and there are a lot of mosquitoes. Grandpa and I will make a batch of insect repellent sachets for you to wear."
After Jiang Dalang heard this, although he was a little disappointed, Su Su was willing to do his share. , not bad.
Moreover, Su Su talked to him a lot today, and even cared about whether his stay was comfortable... This meant that she started to care about him from the bottom of her heart.
Grandpa Qin was watching from the side, very happy... Look, look how good our uncle is, Xiaomi, you have to cherish it.
Just as I was thinking about it, Xue Feng came and shouted at the door: "Brother Jiang, Mr. Qin, granddaughter Qin, many people came to the village entrance, saying they wanted to deliver hay to your family. Manager Xue asked you to go out. Come and see if you want to accept it?”
