The old carpenter couldn't help but laugh and tease him: "Willing to give up that big brick house?" I don't know how many people in our village envy your family's magnificent big house! ”

Xiao Dou Sprouts nodded without thinking about it: "Of course I am willing!" It's better than the big tiled house! ”

Everyone laughed.

The old carpenter master and apprentice laughed at the childish bean sprouts, but Qiao Xiaoru knew that the little bean sprouts were telling the truth, he said that this place is better than the big tile house, not referring to the house, but referring to the fact that it can be far away from the big house and the second room in the future.

Tian glanced at the little bean sprouts with pity, and said with a smile: "You kid, talk about children!" "I was afraid that the little bean sprouts were still young and ignorant and would say something unpleasant to make people feel uneducated, so I sent him to play.

Tian politely said a few words, expressed his gratitude, and went back, leaving Silly Fujun and Qiao Xiaoru to discuss with the old carpenter how to deal with the wood.

The old carpenter looked at the area of the foundation, asked Qiao Xiaoru how many compartments he was going to divide the house into, and then nodded and smiled: "Cheng, I know this!" ”

Originally, the salary that the two sides agreed on was a total of one or two or five dollars of silver, but Qiao Xiaoru smiled at the old carpenter again: "Eleventh master, I will add another penny of silver to your old man, and when you come out of the board, please make it as smooth and neat as possible for me, right?" You know, it's going to be winter soon, and it's windy in the winter, and the wind is blowing through the cracks in the hut, and it's very cold! ”

The old carpenter is a carpenter in the village, a member of the Lu family, ranked eleventh, and is Lu Zhan's ancestor, so Qiao Xiaoru calls him eleventh master.

The old carpenter couldn't help but show two points of sympathy, waved his big hand and smiled: "Where can I ask for more money!" I should have done my job well after receiving my salary! Rest assured, the board will be no worse when the time comes! ”

How can Qiao Xiaoru change his words when he says it? The old carpenter thinks so at this time, and he will regret it when he thinks about it after he can't keep it in order. When the time comes, I will be unwilling, let alone work extra carefully, maybe I will be even more sloppy than originally planned.

Besides, he didn't do this job alone, he still had two apprentices! The more the salary, the more his apprentices can share! A penny of silver is not too much, but it is not too much!

"That's not what I said!" Qiao Xiaoru was busy and said with a smile: "I made additional requirements, the eleventh master and the two eldest brothers have to spend more effort and energy, this processing money should be!" Only my family is not rich, only add one money, and please forgive the eleventh master and the two eldest brothers, if the eleventh master does not accept this money, where am I embarrassed! It's not to die of shame! ”

The old carpenter was very comfortable when he heard this, so he no longer refused, nodded and smiled: "You girl is really good at talking, one set at a time, what else do you say to the old man!" Cheng, then let's do it, the old man will accept it with a cheeky face! Don't worry, this old man will definitely do a good job for you! ”

"Then I'll thank the eleventh master first!" Qiao Xiaoru said with a smile.

In fact, the old carpenter secretly regretted a little pain in the moment after refusing, this looks like the New Year is coming in a few months, and an extra penny of silver can buy a lot of New Year's goods!

Although he is a carpenter, he is not the only carpenter in the neighboring villages, how can there be so much carpentry work in the village all year round? The rich or rich squire in the city will invite the better carpenter in the city, but if it is not his turn, this carpentry work is just a side job!

Qiao Xiaoru's business is the biggest job he has received this year.

The old carpenter's master and apprentice began to get busy, and Qiao Xiaoru looked at it for a while and then pulled the foolish man away. They're still on business!

The land deed and house deed were handled there, and Qiao Xiaoru went to get it back with the foolish husband on the way. It cost three pennies to make these two things.

Qiao Xiaoru was so distressed that she couldn't do it, but this money had to be spent, and she couldn't save it! You can't let Li Zheng help his family out, right? didn't give Li Zheng a thank you gift, Qiao Xiaoru felt embarrassed.

After reading the title deed and the Tian family, Qiao Xiaoru and Silly Fujun went into the mountain again.

It was the old carpenter who told her to cut two or three old bamboos and come back, and specially explained that she wanted to cut the kind of old bamboo that had grown for at least four years, and it was enough to take a section that was more than one person tall from the root.

It was taken back to be chopped down and made into nails.

Qiao Xiaoru was startled when she heard this at first, and blurted out if the house would not be strong like this? The old carpenter's master and apprentice are happy!

The old carpenter told her that everyone had always done this, and that the joints of the beams and columns were connected by tenons and sockets connected by concave and convex joints, and wooden pins were used to hold them firmly! There's no need to worry about whether it's sturdy or not! The ancestors all came over like this!

As for the bamboo nails, they are used to reinforce the wooden planks, and they are not needed at all when the beams and columns are built!

Qiao Xiaoru smiled a little embarrassedly and said that she understood.

It is also said that if you want to use iron nails, it is an additional expense, and it is a lot, and the people who build wooden houses are not rich people, who can afford this money? I can't afford it!

Qiao Xiaoru didn't know what kind of bamboo was old bamboo, so she had to go to Uncle Zhang's house to ask for advice.

Uncle Zhang taught her enthusiastically, the color of Hsinchu is tender, verdant and verdant, the color of old bamboo is blue-gray with a little yellow-green, the color appears deeper, the lines are heavier, and the sound is more brittle than Hsinchu when tapping with the knuckles.

Qiao Xiaoru wrote them down one by one, thanked him with a smile, and took the foolish husband to go.

Aunt Zhang originally said that it would be better to let Uncle Zhang cut a few for them and come back? Uncle Zhang didn't have an opinion, but Qiao Xiaoru thanked them for their kindness.

After all, the kindness of others is limited, and it is impossible to overdraft indefinitely.

Once or twice people can help, what about three or four times in the future? Is it possible to count on others to help you with everything?

Besides, there are many times to help people for small things, and if you have someone who can't do it and needs someone to help you in the future, are you embarrassed to speak?

However, Qiao Xiaoru asked Uncle Zhang to give him directions.

According to Uncle Zhang's instructions, Qiao Xiaoru and Silly Fujun walked for half an hour and came to a valley.

There were many bamboos growing on both sides of this valley, but unlike the bamboo forests Qiao Xiaoru had seen, this was a bamboo forest with trees growing interspersed.

There is no road at all in this mixed forest, and it grows in a mess on the hillside, with all kinds of tall and low weeds everywhere, and all kinds of thorns and shrubs are also frantically grabbing territory, intertwined and entangled.

Qiao Xiaoru had to walk forward cautiously while opening the way.

The foolish husband quickly understood Qiao Xiaoru's intentions, and walked in front of her without hesitation, the firewood knife in his hand was flying, and he seemed to kick his feet at will.

Qiao Xiaoru: "......"

While smiling happily, he secretly scolded himself for being a big fool! It's so stupid, how can you forget the stupid husband?

The fool is in hand, I have it in the world, and I have wood!
