Build a big house

The moonlight is clear.

Gu Qing actually had a dream.

She dreamed of the person she had a crush on in her previous life, who was as tall as jade and had gentle eyes. He actually knelt on one knee in front of her and proposed to her.

In the dream, she was jostling wildly, and her heart was beating wildly uncontrollably.

Before she could take the ring, she was woken up by the creak of the door next door, and she woke up suddenly.

It was a big dream, and when I woke up, I felt like I was lost.

In this era, she has lost the qualification to fall in love. Before she has ever held a man's hand, she already has five husbands and five loveless marriages.

Dong Rong got up from the bed with two dark circles under his eyes.

As soon as she heard the noise, Gu Qing woke up. She sat up and asked softly through the wall: "Did you not sleep well?"

Dong Rong shook his head: "I have something on my mind, so I can't sleep."

Unable to sleep, Dong Rong simply went out to pick up a bucket and headed to the entrance of the village.

In the past, I would not fetch water in the morning because my family did not have the habit of gargling and washing my face in the morning.

Gu Qing prepared toiletries for several people and issued a strong order. They must rinse their mouths and faces every morning, otherwise they cannot serve at the table.

Zhu Han boiled water, sat in the yard, washed clothes, and then hung the clothes to dry.

Gu Qing opened the cabinet containing food. He had asked Yang Pei to buy food recently. It seemed that there was still a lot.

Put more than two kilograms of millet in a pot to cook porridge, and then take out some flour. There is meat at home, so Zhu Han makes meat pies. He also takes out more than 20 eggs from the chicken coop. The eggs are boiled, two for each person.

She wasn't very good at doing it, so she always talked about it with her mouth, and Zhu Han implemented it in detail.

The three people who were still sleeping on the bed smelled the fragrance of the oil, licked their lips, walked out of the room with their eyes closed, and walked to the edge of the stove with precision, and the smell kept flowing down.

"Go wash your face first!"

Gu Qing opened the claws of several people's hands.

Mo Li took a handful of cool well water and poured it on his face, and his sleepiness immediately dissipated.

While eating breakfast, Gu Qing looked at the table that was completely full of seats and asked: "How are the questions about building a house that I asked you to ask last time?"

Now that I have money, I must quickly arrange a house with large bricks and tiles, otherwise there will be no room for so many people in the family.

Although the adobe house is warm in winter and cool in summer, it is not as strong and clean as a blue-tile house. As a person in modern society, she prefers to live in a brick house.

"I saw a piece of wasteland. It's big enough, surrounded by mountains and rivers. I'll take you to see the mushrooms after I sell them." After Mo Li finished speaking, he handed the peeled eggs to Gu Qing.

Gu Qing also took it naturally, and Dong Rong saw the actions between the two.

After eating and selling mushrooms, the family followed Mo Li to the wasteland.

This piece of land is at the foot of the mountain and is covered with dry grass. Wasteland is the most difficult to cultivate and no one in the village looks down upon it.

"Master, there are about thirty acres of land here and each acre costs eight cents of silver..." Mo Li counted the money murmuringly.

Gu Yu also learned to answer quickly: "Sister, I know, I know, one acre of land is worth eight silver coins, two acres of land is worth sixteen silver coins, three acres of land is worth twenty-two-four coins..."

Gu Qing's ears were almost calloused. She raised her forehead and said, "It will be easier if you do the calculation as I say... One acre of land is eight cents of silver and ten acres of land, that is eighty cents of silver and thirty acres of land.

That’s three eighty, eighty plus eighty, plus eighty, what’s the equivalent?”

Gu Yu had two heads and one head. She stretched out her fingers to count, but it was not enough, so she had to squat down and write on the ground. She couldn't write, so she drew eight horizontal lines on the ground, and then eight more, and then another.

After eight items, he finally counted them carefully and said happily: "Sister, the total is two hundred and forty dollars!"

Gu Qing: "..."

If the amount is larger in the future, the ground under your feet will not be enough.

She had no choice but to guide: "The two hundred and forty dollars, how much money is it in total?"

This question stumped Gu Yu.

She wrote and drew for a long time, but she couldn't come up with an answer.

Gu Qing was almost dying of anxiety and said calmly: "Ten coins is one tael of silver, two hundred and forty coins, there are twenty-four ten coins, right, how many taels is the total?"

"It's twenty-four taels of silver!" Gu Yu's eyes lit up, "Sister, you are so powerful."

Gu Qing didn't want to look at her stupid look and said, "Twenty-four taels of silver is not a small sum for ordinary people."

Gu Yu also fell silent. She didn't know how much they earned, but she knew how much they spent. They were absolutely unable to make ends meet. It was very likely that they couldn't even afford one acre of land now. She actually dared to dream of more than 30 acres.

She said: "Actually, our house is enough to live in, just about enough to cope with it. We don't need to buy thirty acres..."

"What family conditions require thirty acres of land to build a house? Do you want to build a palace?" Gu Qing said speechlessly, "24 taels of silver is a lot of money for ordinary people, and our family is not ordinary people."

"Let's go find some land to buy!"

When she arrived at Li Zheng's house, she told her the purpose of her visit, and Li Zheng said, "Blue bricks are not cheap these days. A brick costs three cents. In previous years, it could buy a pound of millet."

Gu Qing continued to ask: "If my family builds a house, it should have at least seven rooms. How many green bricks will it cost?"

"A brick is so small. A square house has four walls, and one wall needs to be built in two layers. Just a rough calculation, one wall requires more than a thousand blue bricks..."

Li Zheng had never done calculations before, so he could do the calculations casually. He couldn't help but be speechless, "Your house is built with seven rooms. There are so many walls in front and back, and the total number of bricks is more than 30,000. I don't know if it is enough. Anyway,

This much would cost almost one hundred taels of silver, and this house also needs to be built with beams and tiles, which is even more expensive. I think you will need one hundred, thirty or forty taels of silver to build this house..."

Gu Qing silently calculated in his mind that if he built a blue-tiled house, the courtyard walls would probably have to be made of bricks, and the ground should not be too muddy. He would use something to pave it, otherwise there would be mud everywhere on rainy days. After all,

That's more than two hundred taels of silver.

Two hundred taels is not much for Gu Qing, and the adobe house is not considered at all. Although her house is made of blue bricks and large tiles, as long as she continues to collect mountain goods, everyone in the village will have money. I believe that building a house of blue bricks and tiles will

There will be more and more people, and since it needs to be built anyway, it is better to build it at once and save money on rebuilding later.

Gu Qing immediately said: "Aunt Li Zheng, I want to buy a piece of land. Aunt Li Zheng will measure it for me in a piece of wasteland at the foot of Dadong Mountain, and tell me how many acres it is, and I will buy it today."

Li Zheng nodded.

No matter who has money, the first thought is to buy land. This is the habitual thinking of villagers, and it is reasonable.

Other people in the village also feel that they must buy land. With money, they can't think about other troublesome things. They must buy land first. With land, people will have confidence.

Li was taking people to measure the land, and Mo Li also went with him. Gu Qing and the others went home and were waiting.

As soon as he got home, Gu Qing immediately opened the mall.
