Chapter 251 Fire Kang and Paying Grain Tax [4]
But the repairs to the west of the village are still not finished.
Qin Xiaomi said: "Master Craftsman Gong, I have to work hard for you to come to the west of the village in the next two days to help repair a few houses and build a few stoves and beds."
Passed. After a while, she had to rush to Fucheng to buy someone. After this person bought it, he needed at least two houses to live in, so he had to repair the dilapidated house in the west of the village.
When Master Gong saw Qin Xiaomi, he was so smelly that he almost couldn't breathe. He hurriedly picked up the medicine bag given by Dong Xue's family, took a deep breath, and then said: "Okay, we will come again, If you have any requirements, let Brother Qin tell us tomorrow.”
As for you, little girl, please stop showing up. Although you are good-looking, you are really annoying and we are afraid!
After saying this, Craftsman Gong ran away as if running for his life.
Qin Xiaomi was a little happy to see it... Yes, her pussy is still so strong.
......
At midnight the next day, three teams of craftsmen came again. The other two teams went to build fire stoves for the villagers in the ghost village. Craftsman Gong's team stayed in the west of the village and went to the broken houses in the west of the village to check the foundations and collapse conditions.
Finally, four houses were selected that could still be repaired: "Brother Qin, these four houses have been repaired with blue bricks and wooden boards. They can still be lived in. The rest cannot be repaired. You have to stay away to avoid damaging the house. Collapse hurts people.”
Grandpa Qin wrote down: "Thank you, Brother Gong, for reminding me. It's all your hard work for these four rooms."
Master Craftsman Gong is in his early fifties, much younger than Grandpa Qin. The two talked about Nian Geng yesterday After that, they became known as brothers.
Artisan Gong waved his hand and said with a smile: "Thank you, we have been calculating wages since we stepped into Taifeng Town."
Whether there is a job or not, the Xue family has to pay them Because of this, Craftsman Gong and others are willing to come to the ghost village to do these small jobs. Otherwise, the village would not be able to hire a team of craftsmen like them.
Dang, Dang, Dang!
The eldest son of the Gong family knocked on the gong and shouted: "The Gong family's craftsmen team has started work. Hurry up and repair the house!"
"Hey!" The craftsmen immediately started working. , there were thirty craftsmen responsible for repairing the four selected dilapidated houses, and twenty craftsmen were responsible for transporting blue bricks, stones, wooden boards and other materials into the west of the village, which was very lively.
The Gong family also has thirty craftsmen in the town who are breaking wood and polishing various construction materials.
Craftsman Liu was filled with envy when he saw it: "The ancestors of the Gong family are worthy of having been in the Ministry of Works and repairing the city wall. Look at the scale, it is so spectacular."
However, Craftsman Liu does not want to expand his team... Behind every craftsman is a large family, so it is difficult to support more craftsmen. The current size of Liu's craftsman team is just right and there is no need to expand.
The Gong family's craftsman team was large and worked quickly. It took only a day and a half to repair four broken houses and build four stove beds.
Grandpa Qin also asked them to go to the houses of Qin Jiang and Xu Qiao’s family. If there are any leaks, repair them and they will be given money for the work and materials.
Artisan Gong was also a migrant, so he admired the Qin family for a refugee from famine who could establish a foothold in a foreign country and create such a family business, so he readily agreed: "Okay, let's go and have a look."
The craftsmen were directly divided into nine teams and went to the nine houses to check. They found some small hidden dangers of air leakage and used the remaining materials to repair and reinforce them.
They also replaced the doors of Qin Eryong, Qin Cunquan, and Qin Xiaomi with strong and durable doors.
Grandpa Qin is very grateful... Qin Cunquan and Qin Eryong's wives are both young, but there are several older girls living in his house, and they are most afraid of being broken open at night.
Qin Xiaomi was also very satisfied. He took the female workers and brought dozens of large crimson cloths: "Master Gong, you have worked hard. This is a thank you gift from the Qin family." Master Gong I almost fainted from her stench, but after hearing these words and seeing so many big crimson cloths, I woke up with excitement, and my face almost turned into chrysanthemums with laughter: "Hey, little Qin family Girl, how can I be so embarrassed? We are paid, so how can we ask for your cloth?”
I am just being polite, but please don’t take it seriously, this is so profound. Red cloth, I want it, I want it. At the end of the year and the beginning of next spring, many people are getting married. This big dark red cloth is just right for personal use or as a gift!
Qin Xiaomi saw what Craftsman Gong was thinking, and said with a smile: "These red cloths are used by the workshop to test the color difference. The money to buy the cloth is included in the cost. My family will not suffer any loss, so Craftsman Gong will accept it."
"Then I won't be polite!" Craftsman Gong was afraid that if he continued to be polite, Qin Xiaomi would not give it away, so he hurriedly accepted it.
When the Gong family craftsmen learned about this, they were no longer afraid of Qin Xiaomi’s stench. After obtaining Grandpa Qin’s consent, they hurriedly drove in to load the red cloth.
The other two craftsman teams also received red cloth from the Qin family workshop.
"Brother Gong, here are your wages and materials for building the stove and repairing the house." Grandpa Qin gave a silver note to Craftsman Gong.
After Craftsman Gong confirmed that the banknote was genuine, he accepted it with a smile and said: "Brother Qin, if you still have some work, you can come to the town to find me at any time. No matter whether the manpower to build the big warehouse is tight or not, I will send Several craftsmen came to help.”
The Qin family is generous, and he cannot be stingy.
"Sure, thank you brother Gong." Grandpa Qin smiled, and after sending Craftsman Gong and others out of the west of the village, he went to see the houses of Chai, Zhang, Hu, Qian, Sun, and Huang. After lighting the stove and bed, I felt relieved.
Huang Laoer also confessed something to him: "Huang Duogui's family is stingy and dislikes girls. He doesn't want to build a separate stove bed for girls at home, but boys and girls have different seats when they are seven years old. , no matter how poor we are, it is not possible for a eldest daughter to share a stove bed with her parents and brothers. My family only has 500 cash. With the money, I built a small stove bed for his daughter."
Grandpa Qin said: "I know about this. You have done a good job, but you have to pay for the five hundred coins. Huang Duogui’s family will deduct the money from selling firewood, otherwise his family will take advantage of it this time, and there will be another time.”
Huang Laoer was shocked when he heard this and nodded quickly: "The village chief reminded me that I will take back the five hundred coins slowly."
If I take it back just once, Huang Duogui's family If you look down on the girl's bad behavior, you will definitely beat the girl to vent your anger.
Grandpa Qin nodded and said: "You should keep an eye on Huang Duogui's family on weekdays. If you find out that they have done anything that harms the village and the workshop, remember to report it."
Add another sentence: "As long as Keep an eye on these thorns and report them in time. Even if these thorns do something bad, the workshop will not anger the entire Huang family."
"Thank you, village chief, we will definitely control the Huang family!" Huang Laoer responded solemnly.
"There is also firewood. We can chop as much as we can while it hasn't snowed yet. The workshop will collect them all. You should also prepare some firewood to keep warm, in case the heavy snow closes the door in the twelfth lunar month and there will be no firewood available." Grandpa Qin finished the last sentence. , went home.
With Grandpa Qin’s words, the Huang family worked hard to chop wood the next day, cutting 50% more firewood.
The Qin family workshop also kept their word and accepted all the firewood they sent.
Qin Xiaomi was not worried enough, and when he was thinking about buying more firewood to store, he saw Mrs. Su bringing Qin Jingyi to Qin's house. She said with worry on her face: "Xiaomi, it's completely dark. Your uncle Cunquan hasn’t come back yet, aunt I'm very worried... The Kong family is used to it. "
In the afternoon of the day when the stove bed was built, Qin Cunquan took Xu Sanjun to Silifang. He had arrived at the village on time in the evening for the previous three days, but today. It was all dark and no one could be seen.
Qin Xiaomi said: "Aunt Cunquan, don't worry. The relevant scribes and Gong Zongqi are guarding it. The Kong family dare not do evil at this juncture."
She is right. Now the Kong family has too much time to take care of themselves. The dog dared to harm Qin Cunquan. Qin Cunquan and the others will come back late because they have received an official document from the county government. Starting from tomorrow, the grain tax will be collected.
