Chapter 535 Getting Better
Qin Xiaomi nodded: "I have been busy making new wedding candles recently, so I really need to go to the new workshop yard to have a look."
She stood up and gave Qin Xiaomai and Qin Xiaogu a piece of silver each: "Take it, you two can also experience the joy of hiding our private money."
Qin Maimai's eyes lit up, but he didn't answer. Instead, he went to see Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin... Sister Xiaomi had given them enough, and he couldn't take any more money.
Grandpa Qin said with a smile: "You sister Xiaomi gave it to you, take it."
"Thank you, Sister Xiaomi." Qin Xiaomai showed a big smile, took the silver coin, held it in his hand, and excitedly hid the private money with his family.
At lunch the next day, Qin Xiaomi packed two stinky bags and went to the new workshop construction site at the west entrance of the village to look at the yard under construction.
Before anyone arrived, the smell came first. Craftsman Liu got excited and hurriedly led the craftsmen to move the dining table, and moved it more than ten meters away.
Qin Xiaomi smiled and said hello from a distance: "Master Liu, you are eating. Eat slowly, let's take a look first!"
"Hey, hey, take a look first, and come to me if you have any questions!" Craftsman Liu prayed to God and worshiped his ancestors in his heart. It is best to leave after reading. There is nothing to change, otherwise the girl from the Qin family will come over and talk to him. If he talks about the changes in detail, his lunch will be in vain!
Grandpa Qin gave her an angry look and whispered: "Just take one pack, take two packs, how will you let people eat?"
Qin Xiaomi: "Grandpa, according to the rules of hot weather and heavy smell, two packs are suitable."
The explanation was very reasonable, but Grandpa Qin choked.
Jiang Dalang smiled and took a bowl of perilla-pickled eggs to Craftsman Liu: "Craftsman Liu, you are working hard in the hot weather. Eat some pickled eggs with perilla to appetize and nourish your body."
"The Qin family is interested." Craftsman Liu was very pleased. The Qin family treated their workers very well. In the past month, they had added dishes to them eight times, and the last one was the sweet mung bean soup that refreshed the summer heat.
The perilla-pickled eggs given today were also generous, and they were not cut into pieces for you.
Craftsman Liu Dalang said a few words to Jiang Dalang, and then called to the craftsmen: "The master has added eggs, one for each person, come and get them!"
The craftsmen were very happy. After shouting "Thank you Qin family" first, they came to get the eggs with their rice bowls in hand.
Jiang Dalang turned back and watched the yard with Qin Xiaomi.
The groundbreaking was started on May 26th. There were many people and quick hands and feet, so the work started very quickly. In just over a month, the wall was almost completed.
In order to prevent fire, all the walls are made of blue bricks, and the windows are large and high, which is relatively safe.
Due to the need to clear snow and keep out the cold, houses in northeastern states are generally shorter than those in the south. The walls are all less than three meters tall and the ceiling height of the roof is also low.
But the room was big enough, and Qin Xiaomi was very satisfied.
Still, improvements are needed.
After Craftsman Liu finished lunch, Qin Xiaomi and the others went to talk to him.
Craftsman Liu: "..."
Ah ah ah, don't come over, my lunch will be in vain!
But he was the only big craftsman here today, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet.
Fortunately, Qin Xiaomi only needs to change one thing: "Dig a cellar three feet away from the wall."
This yard will be used to make pine oil products, and the cellar will be used to store pine oil, so Qin Xiaomi talked about a few more points about fire prevention.
After hearing this, Craftsman Liu thought for a while, nodded and assured: "The work is not difficult, I will do it for you."
After saying this, he raised his hand to smell the medicine packet.
Qin Xiaomi found out, couldn't help laughing, and after telling a few more details, he left knowingly.
Huhuhu, Craftsman Liu seemed to have come back to life after drowning. He almost cried with joy. He looked at Grandpa Qin and Jiang Dalang with more and more sympathy.
The Qin family girl can make money, but she smells really bad.
Grandpa Qin looked at Master Liu and felt a little guilty. After a few words of greeting, he hurried away with Jiang Dalang. ……
The third day of July is the day of the new workshop yard.
Early in the morning, Qin Xiaomi was gathered up again to prepare for worship, and this time the offerings included a jar of tung oil and a jar of lacquer.
It's expensive, one altar costs three taels of silver.
This is not yet a top-quality product. It still follows the path of Gongda Craftsman, giving it a cheap price, otherwise it would be more expensive.
Everyone hates them for being expensive, but they are anti-corrosive, moisture-proof, and insect-proof. Even though they are expensive, every household has to use them when building beams.
Qin Xiaomi stared at them, jealous with envy... How could such a hugely profitable paint business fall into the hands of a wealthy family? Can't it fall into my hands?
However, she was just envious. She knew very well that with her current power, starting the paint business would mean death!
After the worship, the beams are hung on the roof.
The house is not high, and the craftsmen are experienced, so they quickly erected the beams.
Lifting the beams is related to the overall stability of the house, so today Craftsman Gong is here.
He also personally went to the roof to see how the craftsmen were erecting the beams.
The latest chapter of this novel was first published on 6@9书#. Please go to Liujiu Book Bar to read it!
More than a quarter of an hour later, he came down and said with a smile: "Mr. Qin, Qin Xiaodong's family, this beam is very good. I wish you a happy family."
Grandpa Qin thanked him again.
Grandma Qin distributed cakes to people.
After making another meal to entertain the craftsmen, the beam mounting is completed.
The Qin family's Liang Dynasty was indeed a good day. In the afternoon, Si Lifang received great news from the county government.
"Starting from this year, girls under the age of 18 do not need to pay a fine of silver for not getting married; girls who are not married under the age of 18 only need to pay one tael of silver."
"The local government must return the fine money collected this year to the girl's family. Failure to pay it is a death penalty for resisting the decree, and the local county magistrate will not pardon her!"
"This grace is requested by Your Majesty, the Empress Yuan, for the women of the world. Women of the world need to thank the Queen for her holy grace!"
Emperor Wuxing attributed this credit to the late empress, and also took the opportunity to tell the world that the Wei Dynasty had established a queen, and the empress was his original wife Yan.
The official Guan Shuli personally read out this document on the notice board at the entrance of the town.
After hearing this, everyone was in an uproar, ecstatic, and asked in disbelief: "Prince Guan, is this true? From now on, all girls under the age of 18 will no longer have to pay fines?"
Secretary Guan nodded and said loudly: "That's right. Starting from this year, every year in the future, girls under the age of eighteen will no longer have to pay a fine of silver. Those over the age of eighteen only need to pay one tael of silver! I hope folks will spread the word!”
He saluted again in the direction of the capital: "Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank the Queen for your great kindness!"
The villagers were not as serious as him. They cheered loudly and ran away, shouting: "No more fines for not getting married. No one under the age of 18 has to pay any fines for not getting married!!"
The villagers were overjoyed, and those with more daughters cried with joy: "Okay, okay, no more having to pay a fine to marry off your daughter to someone with poor health and bad temperament!"
Many girls could have married into better families, but because they did not have enough money to pay the fine for not marrying, they had to marry them off in a hurry.
And because of the rush, even if you know that there are many bad things about the people who come to ask for marriage, you can only pretend that you don't see it.
All the families in Wei Dynasty were overjoyed by this news.
The official Guan Shuli was so happy that he drank wine during dinner.
Mrs. Guan drank more than he did.
Aunt Chen hurriedly advised: "Old madam, uncle, you have already had five drinks. Don't drink any more. Drinking too much will harm your health."
