Chapter 25 Building a House

The next day...

When it was still daylight, the uncle set off for Baixi Village, and the second uncle also went to Yanlai County to find a skilled helper.When Qu You woke up, he happened to see his uncle walking into the yard with a full face of excitement.

"Sister You, Uncle, hello. The well-known stonemason Qiao in Baixi Village usually provides stone tables and chairs for rich families. Although these are jobs done during the slack season, the stones his family usually grinds are also sold very well. Hurry up. Fortunately, I went early this time, and his house happens to have some stones that have just been polished and not yet sold. Otherwise, uncle will take you to have a look?" The uncle rubbed his hands and said a little excitedly.

Qu You looked back at Old Master Qu, and was very happy to see him nodding his head.

In any case, grandpa is the elder of the Qu family, and he needs to agree to some things.She can't be in power at the beginning just because she came here through time travel, it's a bit too conspicuous.How can I say that she was a crazy girl who didn't understand anything in her previous life. Could it be that she knew everything and knew everything after being accepted as an apprentice by the gods? She was afraid that she would be burned to death as a monster if she was too early.Qu You said that she cherishes her life very much, and she still understands the truth that water flows forever!
"Okay, then let's go and have a look now." Qu You and his uncle went to the village chief's house to rent a carriage, and went to Baixi Village in a bumpy way.

Arriving at Qiao Mason's stone factory, Qu You saw at a glance that there were indeed a lot of stones, which had been polished and piled up there.It seems that the uncle came in time, otherwise the construction of the house will be postponed again.

"Let's go over there and have a look." The uncle led Qu You around the stone pile and walked inside.

Suddenly, Qu You staggered.

"Be careful..." The uncle quickly grabbed him with his hands, sweating coldly from fright.

The child was brought out by him, and the uncle felt scared when he thought about what would happen.

"Uncle, don't worry, I will be careful." Qu You patted his small chest, comforting Uncle, while observing the stone.

The three stones piled up like hills, each of which has been polished smooth and neat. Judging by the firmness of the stones, they should be bluestone or granite.She narrowed her eyes with a satisfied smile, um~ It seems that there are about tens of thousands of stones here, which should be enough for her family to build a house this time.

"Let's talk about the price." The uncle suggested.

Qu You nodded, and followed the uncle towards the mason's house.

"I want to build a house at home, and I want all these stone materials. I bought it sincerely, and I believe you will sell it sincerely. How to sell the stone materials, you can set a price." When arriving at Qiao Mason's house, Qu You went straight to the point.

Qiao Shijiang, who was sitting beside him, grinned. Two people came to this house, and the elder did not make a sound, but asked the little girl to talk.It seems that this girl is the one who decides to pay the money. "These stones were all mined by my brothers from the vicinity of Xuefeng Mountain. Although there is no cost, the brothers also spent effort and time. And polishing also requires exquisite craftsmanship. I believe your elder said back, my The stone is not worried about selling."

Qiao Shijiang's words made Qu You frowned, did he want to sit on the ground and raise the price?
"That……"

"How about this, I'll charge you ten taels of silver for 1000 yuan of polished stone, how much do you need?" The uncle was so nervous that he was interrupted by Qiao Mason just as he was about to speak.

Qu You switched quickly in her mind, one thousand copper plates are one tael of silver, and 1 copper plates are ten taels of silver.

Damn, robbery...

She looked up at her uncle, wanting to ask if there were any other stone factories, she always had to shop around, and if she couldn't come up, she would be tricked.

Qu Chunsheng seemed to understand what his niece meant, and he shook his head regretfully at her.In Yanlai County, only Qiaojia Stone Factory is the largest, best and only one.

Qu You scratched her head dejectedly, forget it, even if you go to other places to buy stones, the shipping fee plus labor is estimated to be only a lot more than this one, so let's buy it here.Suffering is a blessing, suffering is a blessing!She comforted herself violently in her heart, fearing that she would say no to buying on impulse.

"Twelve taels is ten taels! But I'm afraid you won't have enough stone materials, so you hurry up and polish some for later use. However, you guys are responsible for delivering the stone materials to your door, how about it?" When you meet black heart cotton, it's a hemorrhage ...

"Okay, it's a deal. Tell us how much you want, and I'll call my brother to send it to you." After the deal was concluded, Joe Mason felt very happy.The other stonemasons were also very excited. It seemed that they had met a big customer.

Qu You paid Qiao Mason a deposit of 50 taels, and the matter of stone materials was settled.

When I got home, I happened to meet my second uncle leading a foreman surnamed Zhu back.She took the time to discuss the details with the foreman, finalized the date of groundbreaking, and then went back to the house to find grandpa.

"Grandpa, I ordered the stone material, and discussed with the foreman on the start date." No matter what, grandpa is someone Qu You needs to respect.

In fact, Qu Shangyi thought a lot in his heart during the time when Qu You went out with his uncle.The child has grown up, and has won the favor of the gods. No matter what he develops in the future, there will always be advantages and no disadvantages.Since this is the case, let the children let go to do it, and they will be rich if they are good, and they will be like this at worst. The young saplings will always have to go through wind and rain to thrive!

Rather than...

"Sister You, from now on, you will be the master of this family. If you need help from your family, just ask. Grandpa will definitely support you."

"Grandpa, thank you for your trust." Qu You was very moved by Qu Shangyi's words!
In fact, many times what grandpa said didn't sound like a country old man in the countryside, but what was the secret behind it?Don't worry about the death of a down and out prince, Qu You's heart is full of excitement, the ups and downs of life are so exciting!
"Good granddaughter, tell me what's on your mind!"

"There are no neighbors in our family. Grandpa can ask the village chief to buy the land next to it, and the new house will be built next to it." Qu You suggested.

"Okay..." Qu Shangyi agreed without thinking too much.

"Grandpa, wait..."

Qu You ran to the kitchen and brought out two catties of sugar, two catties of pork, half catty of candies, and half catty of pastries.

"Take this to the village chief's house, you have to show something when you ask someone to do something!" Qu You chuckled.

Qu Shangyi looked at his granddaughter strangely, could it be that gods still make relationships with people, Xiaoyou didn't know this before.

"Oh, grandpa, let's go!" Qu You pushed Qu Shangyi coquettishly, trying to get away with it.

The old man's eyes were too sharp, as if he could see into the soul with a single glance.She wiped her cold sweat with a wave of her hand and remembered a more important thing.The engineering team has found it, and the stone materials have been bought, so what will be used to build it?cement?The ancients seem to have boiled glutinous rice into paste and added mud bricks.Would it be too ostentatious for her to use cement? Besides, she didn't know the formula of cement.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she quickly ran into the room.
