Get pregnant quickly: Jiaojiao relies on giving birth and is favored by the boss

Chapter 473: The Beautiful and Charming Young Husband (48)
Lin Jinyu's original home was in a remote part of the village, close to the back mountain. It was convenient to go up the mountain to collect firewood, and there were relatively few neighbors here, so no one would notice anything she brought down from the mountain.

The most convenient one is the spring water, which flows down from the mountain, just like natural water.

Not wanting to give up the spring water, Lin Jinyu planned to buy the surrounding land and expand around the original bamboo house. He might dig a well at that time, but he couldn't throw away the spring water.

Building a house nowadays is not as troublesome as it was in later generations. It does not require so many procedures. You only need to go through a procedure with the village chief.

Zhuangzi didn't have any extravagant hopes for it, as she didn't have the strength yet, and she didn't want to become a landlord, so this idea was rejected.

After obtaining an acre of land from the village chief, she began to design the construction of the house.

Building a house naturally requires professionals, and she is not from a civil engineering background, so she doesn't care about this. But she thinks some things can be added to see if the workers can make it, and it would be even better if they can.

For example, toilets here are all latrines, which are made of two boards and a pit underneath. The feces inside can be used as fertilizer. Sometimes, family members will quarrel over fertilizer, fearing that the other party will use too much.

It is convenient, you just need to take off your pants and squat. But it is too smelly, it pollutes the air, and it is even worse when it ferments.

So she planned to build a septic tank like in later times. Although it was still a squat toilet, it had a flushing function added so that there would not be a strong smell of feces as soon as you entered.

Not only that, the bathroom is placed next to the toilet, which can be regarded as a separation of dry and wet areas.

There was a bathtub in the bathroom, but when the weather was hot, there was no need for such a large bathtub. So she installed a shower head, which was not like a real shower head, but just had a few holes drilled around the bamboo tube.

Design a switch, and once it is turned on, a lot of water will spray out of the bamboo tube. In the big wooden barrel above, you can add hot water or cold water at any time.

The only drawback is that the temperature cannot be adjusted independently.

These were the two functions she wanted most. The current bathroom could be used for showers, but the drainage system was not good, so it would be damp inside after a shower.

She also wanted to design a Kang, after all, it was really useful in winter. But she didn't want to give up the simple step-out bed, so after thinking about it, she decided to design two of the rooms as Kangs, so that they could live in them when it got cold in winter.

When she found the construction team and showed the drawings to the team leader, the other party couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.

"Ms. Lin really knows how to enjoy herself. She can actually come up with these ideas."

Both the pit toilet and the toilet bucket have their own disadvantages. The former is too smelly, and the latter is too troublesome to clean up.

But if it is made into a septic tank, the flushing function can be used directly, so there is no need to clean the toilet. If you want to use fertilizer, just open the wooden board on the septic tank.

"Can these be done? Money is not a problem, as long as it can be done." Lin Jinyu was a little nervous, afraid that the other party would say no.

But with the blueprint and the idea of ​​making it, what can't be made? Don't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients.

The captain was originally thinking that if this thing was made, it might be promoted on a large scale, but after thinking it over carefully, he decided not to.

The cost of building a toilet is not high, but it is not small either. At least an ordinary family does not have the spare money. Although it is convenient, who would use bricks and tiles to build a toilet?

Every household in the village has a hut, and it only takes a few boards to build it. Why is it so troublesome? My family went up the mountain to cut two trees and finished the work without spending a penny.

So the sales channel in the countryside was cut off. As for the rich people in the city? Who would be willing to have a septic tank at home? They all have special servants to take care of the toilet, so they don't need to worry about this at all.

So if you want to promote these, I'm afraid it's unlikely.

Lin Jinyu's one thousand taels were really not worth spending. The land deed cost a lot of silver, and the materials for building the house also cost a lot of money as a deposit, so one hundred taels were spent all at once.

Since it was a house for him to live in, the materials had to be good, and the construction team had to be paid, and he had to take care of their meals every day. All these things added up, it was estimated that more than 500 taels of silver were gone.

Although there are a few hundred taels left, it will still cost a lot to purchase daily necessities and decorate the house.

Calculated this way, one thousand taels of silver is really not a lot.

You won't be able to live a carefree life for a few years just relying on the remaining money, so if you want to truly achieve financial freedom, you must have a job that earns a stable salary.

It was definitely unrealistic to work as a long-term laborer, and she decided not to continue being a doctor, fearing that it would overturn her worldview. So one of her options was to go into business, such as opening a restaurant.

But the prerequisite is that she must have start-up capital.

The remaining money was not enough, so she had to save some more. It seemed that she had to sell a ginseng to continue her plan.

But for now, don't think too far ahead. Just do the things at hand first.

"Jinyu, please teach me how to cook." Lu Mingfei plucked up his courage, came to her side and said.

If we build a house in a while, it will be necessary to cook for the workers. The richer ones will provide two meals, while the less well-off ones will only provide one meal at noon.

But he doesn’t know how to cook yet. If a bunch of people see Lin Jinyu busying herself at the stove, wouldn’t she be laughed at?
He didn't want her to be laughed at.

"Why do you want to learn this? I was busy before, so I asked you to cook for a while. Forget it now. Later I plan to buy a few servants and let them do the work." Lin Jinyu answered without raising her head, her hands continuing to design the drawings.

She couldn't use all of the one acre of land to build a house, the most she could do was to build a wall. She planned to use the rest of the land to grow vegetables and raise chickens and ducks, so that she could live a self-sufficient life.

Anyway, the land in the countryside is large, so it doesn't matter what she builds on it.

If we don't do this, we will be wasting the land.

Lu Mingfei pursed his lips, and suddenly felt as if he had no place to use his abilities, and felt a little lost for a moment. It seemed that from beginning to end, he had not contributed anything, and just sat back and enjoyed the results.

Because he had never enjoyed it before, now he could have everything just by sitting there. This made him feel a little... like he was living in a dream. It was too unreal, unreal, and unnecessary.

At this time, Lin Jinyu spoke again, "But I will ask the uncles in the village to help with the cooking, so you have to help. Don't be too serious, just pretend to do it, and don't let people lose the topic."

There are gossips every day about young wives who don't work, are lazy and like to eat and do something. Although I say I don't care, I still feel uncomfortable listening to it.

Hearing this, Lu Mingfei nodded immediately, "Don't worry, I won't be lazy."

Lin Jinyu looked up: “…” (sighs) I asked you to pretend, not to get excited!
