At this time, in the yard, more than a dozen carpenters were doing the work skillfully and sophisticatedly.

Just two days ago, before the Tongzhou army entered the city, his master took action on this small courtyard that was not old and was not old.

It was acquired by a dealer who specialized in buying real estate.

Afterwards, the dealer found a group of carpenters and wanted to simply renovate the small yard before selling it.

So this repair is actually to make the appearance look better. It is neither a re-flip nor a major overhaul. It is basically just a little surface work.

This is what these carpenters do now, finding decaying architectural components on the beams and pillars of the houses and corridors.

Then replace them with new wood components.

After that, paint the three-entry yard again, and the work will be finished.

Now these people have set up shelves under the eaves of the corridor and hold the roof of the entire corridor.

After that, the pillars that supported the corridor were removed from the pillars.

The base of this column is about the same thickness as the column, about one foot high, like a stone-carved drum, and all the wooden columns are sitting on it.

The function of this column foundation is to prevent decay when the ground surface is water, or to be eaten by insects and ants crawling out of the soil.

As for maintenance, the column foundation has another function, which is that as long as the column foundation is removed, the column will be equivalent to hanging one foot high on the ground.

Workers can remove the pillars from the overall structure of the house.

After the pillar was removed, the workers began to pull down the brackets above the pillar one by one.

This type of bracket is a supporting structure above the columns, and the higher the level of the building, the more complex it is.

What these workers do now is to dismantle the brackets, pick out the decaying components, and replace them with brand new wood "fight, lift, arch, arch, arch, and raising".

If you don’t dismantle this bracket completely, it is absolutely impossible to take out one.

However, these carpenters were doing well, and many broken and decaying brackets had been replaced.

Because the eaves of the corridor have not been painted yet, the new snow-white components are particularly eye-catching among the old painted dull brackets.

...Just as these people were busy working on their work, they heard a burst of noise outside the yard.

While talking, a group of people walked from the outer courtyard to the inner courtyard.

One of the foremen of these workers then raised their heads and looked out.

Sure enough, there were about five or six people coming, most of whom were looking at the courtyard wall house, and they saw that they were here to buy the house.

Among these people is a fat man. Seeing him looking at the surrounding courtyards and houses with a picky look, the people around him do not often look at his expression with their eyes. I guess this person must be the final decision.

At this time, the foreman saw that there was no familiar face among the people, and then smiled and greeted him.

"Several distinguished guests are polite!"

I saw the foreman greeting the fat man, and then smiled and said, "The owner is not here, are you here to see the house?"

"Yes, why should I run here if I don't look at the house?"

The fat man glanced at the foreman and said, "I know your master is not here, so I'll send someone to make an appointment with him.

He will arrive soon, I'll wait for him here for a while."

"Even so, please sit up and wait."

Hearing this, the foreman immediately accompanied him to bring a few chairs with him, and let them sit in the yard. Then he turned around and returned to his group of workers.

"What's going on?"

When he came back, several workers immediately looked up at him, and one of them asked him with a smile.

"Who is looking at the house, the owner of the house has not come yet, he is here first!"

At this time, "Xiaotou" waved his hand and asked everyone to go back and continue working.

The foreman is about 45 or 6 years old this year. He is not tall and has a thin figure.

When I saw his sad face, I knew that he was born in a laborer.

Although his clothes were half-new and not old, they were washed clean.

His hands and feet are thick and full of cracks left by labor.

He always looked bitter and had a little bit of a watery waist... Basically, the middle-aged carpenters you can see are a bit similar to him.

This person is the general guardian of Lubanmen, named Shi Bailing.

...He is the younger brother of the leader Shi Baichuan, and he has become the general guardian through his brother's light.

Usually, his brothers call him Lingtouer because he has a word "Ling" in his name.

This time he and his brother entered Lin'an City and hid here with his men.

Because they are secret tasks, they are naturally extremely cautious when acting.

If an outsider comes to the yard, Shi Bailing must also investigate vigilantly before he can feel at ease.

However, the group of people who came today, based on Shi Bailing's experience in the world, could tell at a glance that there was no threat.

Among these people, the fat man felt like he was a poor man was just getting rich.

I guess I made money from where I came to Lin'an to buy a house.

Although he looks rich and powerful, his confidence is not enough.

As for the few people under the fat man, there was a fat man who was like Maitreya Buddha. He smiled and deliberately shrank his neck, making the boss half a head taller than him.

When he spoke, he first observed his words and looked at his expression and then spoke, showing a sense of flattery. He saw that he was a person like a housekeeper and a manager.

The other guy was frowning and holding his hands in his sleeves while looking at the house, his fingers were still squirming in his sleeves, as if he was scrambling accounts.

This guy is thin and dry. He has a thin physique that can even be worn to the back even if he slapped his chest. He must be a accountant.

As for the other two, they were all dressed in servants in green clothes and hats, and they looked even more stupid and dull.

So this combination is clearly a house buying group brought by a rich man from the countryside.

Although it seems that it is very thoughtful, it actually belongs to the category that is not threatening.

So after Shi Bailing took a look, he put them aside.

I just waited for my boss, the dealer who bought the house, to see if the two companies could negotiate their business.

...It was less than a cup of tea, Fan Danqidong walked through the streets and alleys and came outside the yard.

Someone came to see the house today, and Shan Qidong was secretly happy.

Then when he pushed open the yard door, he saw a group of people sitting in the middle of the yard, constantly looking at the surrounding buildings.

When Shan Qidong saw a fat man in the middle at first sight, his heart suddenly became "sudden"! He had seen this fat man once.
