Chapter 45: A New Home
Yang Xing stood with his hands in his hands, his eyes tilted up at a forty-five degree angle, and his face was full of pride: "Of course, everyone has real materials, and you can exchange a lot of silver by writing a few words." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Yuan Fang pouted and said, "Really fake? ”
Xiaomei said with admiration in her eyes: "It's really Brother Yuan, a few days ago, several people came to beg Brother Yang, well, yes, begged Mobao, and gave a lot of pens." ”
Xiao Qi reminded: "It's a polishing pen." ”
Xiaomei continued: "Yes, it's a pen, there are a few taels of silver." ”
Yuan Fang blinked his eyes, looked at Yang Xing again as if he didn't know, and then put on a smiling face to flatter and said, "Yang Xing, look at our relationship, do you want me to borrow something to deal with the emergency first." "Now that Yang Xing is 'wealthy', Yuan Fang naturally wants to lower his posture and Corporal Lixian, uh, that's pretty much what it means.
Yang Xing didn't care and waved his hand very magnificently: "Just say as much as you want." ”
Yuan Fang thought for a while and smiled: "Just lend me ten taels of silver first." ”
Yang Xing almost didn't come up in one breath, coughed vigorously, and for a long time, stared at the beads of his eyes and said with a look of horror: "Many, how much?" Ten taels? ”
Yuan Fang affirmed: "Yes, ten taels." ”
Yang Xing said with a bitter face: "Boss, you also think too highly of me, I only received a total of four taels or three coins of silver, and I have spent almost one tael these days, and there are more than three taels left, if you want to use it, you can take it all." ”
Yuan Fang pursed his lips and said sarcastically: "You kid just now seems to be the first in the world, I thought you made a lot of money, it turned out to be a silver-like pewter gun head, which is useless." Okay, lend it to me for a while, but I'm worried that I won't have enough money. ”
With the silver, he also has the confidence to speak: "Da Mei, you see, if I make a table and two beds here, a bench here, a small table in that room, and the windows are all replaced with glass, how much will it cost?" ”
Da Mei calculated: "If we get the wood ourselves, we just need to find a carpenter, Uncle Fang on the front street is a carpenter, it shouldn't cost much, two hundred Wen should be about the same." ”
Yuan Fang was surprised and asked, "Make wood yourself?" Where to get it? ”
Da Mei said of course: "Of course I went to the mountain, so many trees on the mountain are enough to cut a few casually." ”
Yuan Fang was stunned: "Go up the mountain and cut down trees? Nobody cares? ”
Da Mei shook her head: "No one cares, don't everyone go up the mountain to cut down trees?" ”
Yuan Fang was completely blindfolded: "Just cut it? That can't be cut down, huh? ”
Outside the door, Qin Cao's voice sounded: "Hehe, if it's just one or two trees, no one will care, but if there are too many, it won't work, and you need to have the approval of the official office." Yuan Fang suddenly realized that even if the ecological environment here is good and the timber resources are abundant, it can't be cut down indiscriminately, so it's reasonable.
Xiaomei ran to Qin Cao and handed a leather bag to Qin Cao: "Teacher, this is given to you by Brother Yuan." ”
Qin Cao took the surgical knife with a smile, bowed his head slightly, and said, "Then I won't be polite to you, junior brother." It can be seen from Qin Cao's face full of joy that he also likes these things from the bottom of his heart.
After a few words of greeting with Qin Cao, Yuan Fang said to Xiaomei: "Xiaomei, I'll bring a lamp when I'm busy, I'll go to the basement to see what is missing, and I'll get it together tomorrow." Xiaomei agreed, and carefully handed over the leather bag in her arms to Damei for safekeeping, for fear of losing it, and went out to the separate room next door to get the oil lamp and light it, and led the way in front.
Pull open the wooden planks of the cellar and slowly descend the stone steps, which are a bit steep, and extend down about two meters before you actually enter the cellar. Xiaomei lit a few oil lamps on the wall with a familiar car, and the whole space came into view, as Yang Xing said, the cellar is very large, very large, almost two hundred square meters by sight, and the height from the ground to the roof is almost three meters, I really don't know how such a big hole was dug out.
Looking up, the roof was arc-shaped, made of a meter-long bluestone, Yuan Fang was a little worried, if he fell and hit someone, he would not be stoned to death.
Yang Xing spat and said: "Boss, you don't know, that Uncle Liu (a neighbor specializing in construction) is really amazing." Through Yang Xing's explanation, Yuan Fang finally understood the composition of the entire house.
Because Yuan Fang asked the basement to be as big as possible, the workers simply made the largest, so instead of using the hollowing out method of a small cellar, they directly dug out the entire space, and then used bluestone to build the wall, and then used long bluestone to build the roof and foundation in the way of building an arch bridge, and then backfilled with rammed earth, compacted and then covered with stone slabs, and then built a house on the ground, the whole process is almost like this, although this method is laborious and time-consuming, but it is better to be solid and reliable, especially in the basement. There is no earthquake of magnitude 7 or 8 or higher that has absolutely no impact.
Lifting his foot and kicking on the ground, the gap between the irregular stone paved ground is too large, and the floating soil in the gaps can be seen everywhere, although the wall is a little better, there will be no slag falling, but it is uneven and extremely untidy.
Yuan Fang sniffled, didn't smell the pungent smell of burning oil, and asked in surprise, "There are still vents?" ”
Xiaomei pointed to a few holes above the wall and said, "There are more than a dozen vents, all connected to the largest chimney. Yuan Fang suddenly realized that he had seen several chimneys on the roof before, which were originally used for this.
Leaning over to see a few vents, the craftsman designed a very clever design, each vent has a separate switch, that is, a stone slab similar to a stone door, open to ventilate, closed to block air circulation, and there are several layers of iron mesh wrapped outside to filter foreign matter in the air.
The basement was empty, and after a casual glance, everyone returned to the ground, and before Yuan Fang could speak, Yang Xing let out a strange scream, pointed to his arm and said with a frightened face: "Boss, why did my arm turn blue?" ”
Yuan Fang looked back, and then he was overjoyed, and reached out to untie the tourniquet: "It's been too long, the blood is not passing, it's okay, just wait." As he spoke, he looked at Xiaomei and said: "Use this to stop bleeding, it can't last too long, not more than an hour at most, and restore blood flow every two quarters of an hour for about a third of a quarter, otherwise it will cause serious harm to the human body." Xiaomei sighed remorsefully and glanced at Yang Xing apologetically.
Yang Xing rubbed his numb arm, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I don't have anything to do at all." The corners of Xiaomei's mouth were slightly upturned, and there was a hint of strangeness in her eyes.
Da Mei hesitated, looked at Yuan Fang and said, "I still have a lot of gratitude to Brother Yuan." ”
Yuan Fang was stunned: "Thank me?" Why? ”
Xiaomei hurriedly said, "Brother Yuan, the kitchenware you asked Blacksmith Zhao to make is very beautiful." Yuan Fang then remembered that before going to Xizhou, he asked Zhao Blacksmith to make a set of fine iron polished kitchenware, which cost Yuan Fang a lot of money.
Yuan Fang smiled and said, "How is it?" Like it, right? ”
Da Mei nodded slightly and said with a smile: "It's beautiful." "As long as Da Mei likes it, even if it costs a lot of money, Yuan Fang is willing.
Qin Cao coughed lightly: "Senior brother, look at what else you need, I'll find someone to help you do it tomorrow." ”
Yuan Fang thought for a while and said, "I'll think about it later, this is not in a hurry." ”
Qin Cao nodded and looked at Da Mei: "Da Mei, isn't it time to make dinner?" Da Mei looked at the sky, glanced at Qin Cao and turned around and went out, but there was a happy smile on the corner of her mouth.
Everyone else went to do their own business, Yang Xing and Xiaomei stayed to help Yuan Fang tidy up, in fact, there was nothing to clean up, that is, the glass bottles were placed on the wooden shelf, and the rubber sheets were also piled up in that room, Yuan Fang planned to use this room as a pharmacy and disposal room in the future, the one with the largest entrance was used as a consultation room and observation room, and the one that connected to the basement, Yuan Fang planned to isolate a large enough space for the operating room, as for the basement, Yuan Fang hadn't thought about it yet, but it had to be repaired first.
After packing up and putting all the things away, Yuan Fang, Yang Xing and Xiaomei returned to the new clinic and sat down, Yuan Fang asked, "Do you know what materials are used to pave the floor?" It's like Brother Mo, the ground in the main hall of their dart game is almost the same. Xiaomei hadn't been to the Zhiyuan Dart Bureau and looked at Yang Xing.
Yang Xing thought for a while and said, "Brother Mo's dart game seems to be made of marble. ”
Yuan Fang asked: "Marble? Is it expensive? What would it cost to make all the ground and the courtyard outside marble? ”
Yang Xing's face was shocked: "Boss, are you okay?" That thing is not cheap, and with our little money, it is estimated that it is not enough to even build this house. Yuan Fang frowned, his fingers tapping on the tabletop.
Xiaomei proposed: "I have heard that bluestone is very cheap, and the polished ones are just as good. ”
Yuan Fang nodded slightly and then asked, "Is there any cement and tile sales?" Yang Xing and Xiaomei glanced at each other and shook their heads in unison.
Yuan Fang said depressedly: "What do you mean by shaking your head, don't you still don't know?" ”
Yang Xing spread his hands and said: "I am a scholar, and I don't know about those. ”
Xiaomei rolled her eyes and said, "I'm a doctor." ”
Yuan Fang was speechless, and discussing with these two goods was purely to add to his own blockage: "Forget it, just find a building materials store and ask later, by the way, there should be a building materials for sale here, right?" ”
This time, Xiaomei said with great certainty: "Yes, there are several in the east of the city." But Brother Yuan, if you want to buy bluestone to pave the ground, you should go to the stone field. ”
Yuan Fang looked at Xiaomei: "Where is the stone field?" ”
Xiaomei glared at the innocent big eyes and said, "I only heard that there is a stone quarry on the mountain outside Nancheng, but I don't know where it is." ”
Seeing Yuan Fang's dissatisfaction, Xiaomei raised her little head and said as a matter of course: "Hmph, I haven't been there again, it's already very good to know this." ”
Yang Xing said, "That's it, boss, don't you know." ”
Yuan Fang rolled his eyes angrily at the singing and harmony of these two guys, but he was helpless, so he decided to change the topic, and it was more reliable to ask Damei or Qin Cao about those things later.
After chatting for a while, the three of them came to Qin Cao's clinic, Yuan Fang roughly talked about the experience of this trip to Xizhou, Yang Xing listened to it with fascination, and complained that Yuan Fang didn't take him with him to see and see.
