Five-year-old little girl: Mom has thousands of acres of material space

Chapter 143 Zhao Rascal breaks into Jiang’s house at night

"Okay, I'll ask my mother for you."

After Jiang Xiaoxiao finished speaking, he ran to Jiang Wei and told Master Zheng that he wanted to buy cement.

Jiang Wei thought for a moment and said, "Okay, we can sell him the cement left over from building the house."

Master Zheng was considerate of helping her family build a house, and selling him some cement was nothing.

Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded. Her family started preparing cement a month ago. Old Man Zhao would bring back a cart of materials every day when he went to town to deliver goods. Now her family has accumulated a lot of cement. It is more than enough to build a house. There should be quite a bit left after the house is finished.

She asked again: "Mom, how much does our cement cost?"

Jiang Wei thought for a while and said, "Then sell it for nine cents per catty."

Jiang Xiaoxiao: "..."

The price, to be honest, is a bit expensive.

In modern times, cement only costs a few cents per pound, and usually a fifty-pound pack of cement costs only twenty yuan. They sell it for nine cents per pound, which is really a bit expensive...

But think about it, this was ancient times, and technology was far less developed and prosperous than modern times. The process of making cement was still very complicated and cumbersome in ancient times. The step of burning lime alone required a lot of fuel.

Jiang Xiaoxiao went back to convey her mother's words.

When Master Zheng heard that cement only cost nine cents per pound, he couldn't believe it was so cheap!

Those wealthy families start with a few thousand taels of silver to build a house. If they are in a place like the capital, it will cost at least ten thousand taels!

If you use this cement to build a house, the cost will be greatly reduced. It can be built with only a few hundred taels, and the house built will be as solid as stone!

Master Zheng fell into ecstasy, and Jiang Xiaoxiao also began to think about it by himself.

Following her mother's wishes, she did not sell the cement formula at a high price. She probably wanted to get into the cement business. She might even open a cement factory in the future to produce cement in large quantities.

This time, I sold the leftover cement at home to Master Zheng, and I could also use his hand to sell the cement. It was like killing two birds with one stone!

Master Zheng has a wide network of contacts, and it may not take long for cement to become famous.

The building of the house went smoothly. After two days, everyone had gradually become proficient and there was no need for Jiang Wei to keep an eye on it all the time.

She planned to ask Qiu Lianniang and Sister Zhao to help watch at home tomorrow. She went to the carpenter shop in the town to have the furniture made in advance. After the house was built, the furniture could be moved in as soon as possible.

At night, after all the workers left, the mother and daughter finally had some free time and began to list the furniture they would go to the carpenter shop to build tomorrow.

"Desk, kang table, wardrobe, cupboard, warehouse cabinet, square table, bench...these are all necessary."

While Jiang Xiaoxiao used a brush to write down the name of the furniture to be built on the paper, she asked her mother if there was anything else she needed to add.

Jiang Wei thought for a while and said, "Add two sets of integrated dressing tables, screens, and beds."

"Okay." Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded and started writing.

Although the bed in her house is still prepared with the earthen kang commonly used in the village, which is necessary in winter, she can also make more beds. In the future, she can sit on the bed when entertaining guests in the main room, which is soft and more respectable.

The mother and daughter were completely focused on the furniture they were going to build tomorrow, and did not notice the movement outside the house.

At this moment, Zhao Lailai had sneaked into the yard under the cover of night.

In the past few days, due to the construction of houses, the courtyard door was wide open, and the courtyard was filled with bricks and tiles, which was perfect for Zhao Rascal to hide his figure.

He looked at the light in the main room and swallowed nervously.

In the main room, Jiang Xiaoxiao finished writing the last word, put down the brush, stretched a little tiredly, and prepared to wash his hands in the yard and then go back to the house to sleep.

However, just as she stood up, the little tiger who was sleeping soundly at her feet suddenly got up and bit her trouser leg, preventing her from getting out. "Ouch~"

Jiang Xiaoxiao was puzzled: "Xiaohu, what's wrong?"

Jiang Wei cleared the table and glanced at the little tiger that was biting Jiang Xiaoxiao's trousers. He couldn't help laughing and said: "There are people at home these days, and you always keep it in the house. Are you suffocating it? "

When Jiang Xiaoxiao heard this, she felt it made sense. She thought the little tiger was pestering her to play with it, so she touched its head: "Good boy, little tiger, I will play with you after the house is built in a few days. Please let go first." , I’m going to wash my hands.”

She freed the trouser legs from the little tiger's mouth, got up and left the main room.

"Ouch!"

The little tiger howled twice at the back of her as she left. As if he was worried about something, he also chased after her.

Jiang Wei saw the tiger's uncharacteristic appearance and his eyebrows sank.

She looked out at the dark yard through the window, but didn't detect any clues.

But she got up and followed him out of the house.

The yard was quiet, except for the sound of Jiang Xiaoxiao washing his hands and pouring water, no sound was heard.

The little tiger arrived in the yard, followed the smell and sniffed everywhere, and finally found a patched coat under a pile of blue bricks.

"I asked what your name is tonight. It turns out that I smell the smell on these clothes." Jiang Xiaoxiao said with a smile.

Jiang Wei followed to take a look, and frowned visibly when he saw the clothes.

Jiang Xiaoxiao comforted him: "It should belong to the workers who came to work during the day. I forgot to take it when I left."

Jiang Wei did not speak, but carefully inspected the yard, and then said to Jiang Xiaoxiao: "After washing your hands, you go back to the house to rest."

After saying this, she prepared to close the courtyard door.

She was going to be more alert tonight, listening to what was going on in the yard.

Not to mention other things, there are so many blue bricks piled up in her yard. One brick is worth seven cents. Maybe the villagers will get interested and sneak in a few at night.

Jiang Xiaoxiao washed her hands and went back to the house.

However, as soon as she stepped into the house, the roar of a tiger cub came from behind, and the next second, a kitchen knife was pressed against her neck.

"Ouch——!!"

The little tiger put down the tattered clothes he was biting and was about to rush towards the person in front of him, but was held down by Jiang Wei.

"Ha." Seeing Jiang Wei's actions, the shirtless Zhao Rascal sneered proudly, "I say Jiang, you have to hold on tight, otherwise I won't be able to guarantee that I will be frightened by this tiger. Can you hold this kitchen knife steadily? If it accidentally cuts your daughter's neck, it's not my fault."

As he spoke, he deliberately moved his wrist, bringing the blade closer to Jiang Xiaoxiao's slender neck, so close that Jiang Xiaoxiao's face could be reflected on the blade's surface.

Jiang Wei looked at the rogue Zhao in front of him with a gloomy face, the coldness in his eyes seemed to kill the person in front of him.

She never expected that this scoundrel Zhao actually had some brains and knew how to make a splash in the east and strike in the west. Knowing that there was a tiger in her house, he used his clothes to attract the tiger's attention, and he took the opportunity to sneak into the house...

"If you don't want anything to happen to your daughter, take off your clothes now, hurry up!"
