Chapter 610 Talented Player
Cui Zhangmo took the drawings provided by Bai Yunxi, walked around the slope, stood on the slope and pondered for a moment, pointing to a piece of land in the middle,
"It is most suitable to build a house here. The soil is solid and it will not be washed away by heavy rain. It is a good location. ׺°"˜˜`"°º×"
Bai Yunxi followed his gaze and looked over there. It happened to be the center of the entire slope. Anyway, the land bought was large enough, so it didn't matter where it was built.
"You are an expert in building houses, just listen to Cui Zhangmo."
"Thank you for your trust. I wonder when you want to start construction?"
Cui Zhangmo looked at the slope. It would be a good idea to raise poultry here. Far away from the village, close to the water source, surrounded by green grass, eating vegetables and catching insects, it is indeed the best place.
"This is a really good location. It is close to the mountains and water. It is hard not to be prosperous."
He is Zhangmo. Building houses also pays attention to Feng Shui. This location is excellent.
"Thank you Cui Zhangmo for your kind words. I was thinking that since raising poultry and the like would always have some smell. That's why I wanted to stay away from it to avoid causing trouble to the villagers."
"If it turns out to be a blessing, I will wake up with a smile in my dreams."
"Big sister is kind-hearted, so she will naturally be blessed." Cui Zhangmo retracted his gaze and smiled gently. "I wonder when big sister is going to start construction."
"Of course I want to do it as soon as possible. If it can be built before freezing, it will be even better. This way it will not delay the use of the spring next year.
"The clear and cool autumn is suitable for building houses. It is less than two months away from freezing, so there is no problem in completing the construction."
"In this case, I'll leave it to Cui Zhangmo. I have already paid the deposit to the kiln factory. The goods will be delivered today. The day after tomorrow is the auspicious time. How about starting construction?"
When it comes to this auspicious time, it was the second brother who looked at the almanac and said it, and Bai Yunxi remembered it.
"Okay, I'll go back and prepare now, and arrive on time the day after tomorrow."
"Then I'll leave it to you. "
Bai Yunxi took his son and sent the people to the official road. They happened to meet the people from the brick kiln factory. Since they decided to start construction the day after tomorrow, they would naturally supply the duck farm now.
"An Yan, lead the others to unload the bricks. Choose a suitable location that is convenient for use and does not block the road."
"Hey~, please follow me."
The people who delivered the bricks knew each other last time. After saying hello, Bai Anyan led them to the slope on the other side.
As for the bricks and tiles for the homestead, it would not be too late to transport them at the end.
Construction will start the day after tomorrow, and Bai Yunxi has to get busy. Prepare the offering table in advance for a simple sacrificial ceremony. In addition to snacks, a whole chicken must be prepared.
All these will be left to Mrs. Du to deal with. If it doesn't work, go to the town again.
As soon as he arrived at the door of his house, Bai Yunxi stopped, "Wenyou, you go home first. I'll go to my cousin's house and ask about the ducklings. "
As soon as I entered the house, I saw my cousin talking with the old man in the yard.
"Yunxi girl is here, sit down and talk." The old man took a puff of cigarette and greeted with a smile.
"Third cousin, cousin, it's a coincidence that you two are both at home today." Bai Yunxi didn't hesitate to sit down on the chair next to her.
Zhang refilled their water and couldn't help laughing,
"Our door was almost trampled down this morning. It's all related to you, sister."
Bai Yunxi raised her eyebrows and understood after a little thought. Several people who worked with them yesterday got their wages. They knew it was useless to ask her, so they all came to the head of the village for help.
"It's hard for my cousin to talk to me again. I have to prepare a pack of tea for you later. In the future, my cousin will inevitably suffer because of my affairs. "
Listening to Bai Yunxi's teasing tone, Bai Yunshan glared at her with a smile.
"Villagers are like this, they get anxious when they see others make money. In the final analysis, it's all because of poverty, just treat it with a normal mind."
"Cousin is worthy of being the head of the village. The villagers are so lucky to meet you."
Although the cousin was forced to do this, he is really suitable to be the head of the village.
Especially for her, it saves a lot of worry.
"Pfft~, the villagers are lucky. Our house is like a market every day, which is very annoying. Fortunately, I'm used to it. If I'm really annoyed, I just yell a few words and it will stop. "
Zhang sat next to her, doing needlework and complaining.
Bai Yunxi was really embarrassed about this. Most of the time, the reason why the cousin was harassed by the villagers was because of her. She knew this very well.
"I am so lucky to meet such a good person like my cousin's wife. Today I come to ask my cousin for help again. "
Bai Yuntang glared at her,
"What do you mean by asking or not? Just ask if you have something to ask. Can my cousin leave anything he can do for you?"
"That's right. Yunxi just ordered him around. He can't sit still anyway. Instead of letting others drag him away, it's better to do something for your family." Zhang looked at Bai Yunxi and teased directly.
"The slope will be constructed the day after tomorrow, and a sacrifice will be held. Please ask my cousin to help preside over it. In addition, I want to ask my cousin, you have been active in the county all year round, do you know where the workshop for hatching ducklings is?"
The workshop for hatching ducklings? Bai Yuntang was stunned and shook his head,
"Sacrifices are no problem, but I really haven't paid attention to ducklings, but every spring and summer, I often see vendors carrying baskets and selling chickens and ducklings. If you are not in a hurry, I will go to the county to ask for you later. ”
“Build the duck farm before the New Year, and buy ducklings for breeding in the spring of next year. There is plenty of time, so there is no rush.”
According to the alternation of seasons, the survival rate of seedlings hatched in spring is the highest.
The old man sat nearby and listened quietly. When their conversation came to an end, he blew his pipe and pot.
"Yunxi girl, what will happen to Xiao Wu next year?"
"Third cousin, Xiao Wu said that he wants to give it a try. If he is lucky, he might be able to win a scholar back. When the time comes, please take a seat and support him."
Bai Yunxi looked at his third uncle and answered loudly with a smile, just because he was afraid that he wouldn't hear.
As a result, the old man glared at her and said, "I'm not deaf, why are you yelling?"
Baiyunxi: "..."
Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to hear me?
"Ahem~, I've been silent for three years, so I might as well give it a try. I heard that next year is a coincidence. The second half of the year will happen to be the provincial examination that is held every three years. If you win the college examination, don't miss the provincial examination. Just try it out. ”
Listening to the third uncle's tone, Bai Yunxi was almost shocked to the point of chin.
"You always have too much confidence in Xiao Wu, right? I'm not surprised if I get the best talent in two exams a year. I'd better forget about the exam. I'll just end up using it as a stepping stone to avoid others laughing at me."
Do you really think that Juren is like cabbage in the field, and you can just pick it up?
"Xiao Wu is like his father, a very talented child."
The old man puffed on his cigarette and said quietly, "Once upon a time, some people said that Xiao Wu's father was a rare talent that could only be seen in a hundred years. However, due to bad luck, Xiao Wu followed his father."
