Tian Yuqiao's new house had already been built. When it came to the upper beam, they only invited the village head and elders, as well as old man Tian over.
After setting off the two firecrackers, the house was completed. He just needed to wait for the time to move out.
Originally, on the day of Shang Liang's arrival, Madame Li and the others from the Old Residence wanted to come over as well. However, because of the elder's and the others' presence, Madame Li didn't dare to come over and add to the chaos.
The reason why Tian Yuqiao had asked the Wang clan to invite Tian Chanzi was because he didn't want his clan to hold any grudges against him. The old house was heartless, but she couldn't overdo it on the surface. It wouldn't make sense if he didn't invite Tian Chanzi to build such a large house.
After getting some daily necessities from the town, Tian Yuqiao still had less than 10 taels of silver left in his hand. She could not help but smile bitterly. That was two hundred bottles of gold medicine in exchange for some silver. Spending it so quickly like running water really hurt her heart.
"Big brother Xiao'er, do you think I still have less than 10 taels of silver in my possession? Are we enough to build a wall?" Tian Yuqiao frowned as he counted the remaining silver taels in his pocket.
Yuan Ji caressed the little baldy and said, "That would depend on how big the building is. If it's not high and not too big, then it's definitely enough."
"Well then, let's go to the old one and buy some green bricks so we can put them on the wall. I'm not used to being seen outside doing what I do at home. It feels so unprivate. " Tian Yuqiao frowned.
"Privacy? Elder sister, what do you mean by private? " Yuan Tong asked with a curious expression.
Tian Yu Qiao was speechless. In her anxiety, she had actually said the wrong thing. However, he still had to explain this question to this little fellow. Otherwise, he would be digging deeper into the matter. This little fellow definitely had the potential to become a monk of the Tang Dynasty.
"Privacy is a secret, do you understand? "For example, the incident where you and big brother Qian'Er stole some meat …"
"Shh, I understand big sister Qiao'er. You don't need to explain anymore." Yuan Tong said somewhat vexedly.
Why did he have to look for the root of the problem? This time, his sister told him her secret.
However, when he thought of how his secret had been discovered by others, the little fellow couldn't help but be happy. Thus, the little fellow clapped his hands in approval and quickly built a wall, definitely not allowing others to see his' privacy '.
When the green bricks were all ordered, coincidentally, there was a family that had bought them but didn't intend to build them again. The kiln had some stock, so Boss Zhang directly ordered his assistant to bring the green bricks back for Tian Yuqiao.
While there were still a few people left in the house, Tian Yuqiao continued to ask them to stay behind to help build the wall. The construction of the wall was not all that skillful, so the price was still based on twenty coins a day.
A green brick wall about two meters tall, forty meters wide, and a hundred meters long was quickly built.
On top of the wall, Tian Yuqiao had people use broken tiles to stand on top of it and embed it onto the wall. If someone wanted to climb up the wall, then they would be in trouble.
Such a high wall not only prevented people from peeking out, but it also prevented the wild beasts on the mountain. After all, they were at the foot of the mountain. In the winter, there was no guarantee that the starving carnivores would not come to the village.
Although such things did not happen often, they would happen occasionally. Therefore, Tian Yuqiao wanted to prevent any unforeseen events from occurring.
Tian Yuqiao planned to use the small vegetable garden that was surrounded by walls to grow vegetables. As for food, he would first buy it and eat it this year.
There were still some green bricks left, so Tian Yuqiao got the villagers to help build a spacious pigsty, and also built a clean latrine beside the pigsty.
Normally, people's latrines were usually grass huts. There was a huge pit in the middle of which was filled with broken water vats. At the edge of the water tank, a wooden board was placed at one end.
When it's convenient for people, just step on a wooden board and squat down …
The Tian Residence was just like this. Once, when one of the wooden boards was in a state of disrepair, Erlang stepped on it and broke, causing him to fall into the large vat filled with excrement with a loud gulping sound!
Tian Yuqiao did not need to use that kind of thing. Even if he wanted to store the farm manure, he would need to be scientific.
The outhouse was made of green brick, with cross holes for ventilation all around. Hanging above the head was something similar to a small bowl, which could then be filled with lamp oil and lit when it came to the toilet, not having to carry a lantern.
The hole below was also made of green brick, the front part of which was a sloping slope, and all the dirt could flow backwards along the sloping slope. Behind them was a large hole dug in the wall. That was her family's fecal drain.
There was also a drainage hole in the pigsty, and the dirty water that came out of that hole could also flow to the side of the hole.
The pigsty was made of green brick, so it would be very convenient to clean. As long as he poured water into it, he would use a broom to sweep the dirty items towards the several sewers.
The latrine was rather spacious with a length and width of about one and a half meters. There was a wooden rack beside it that could be used to clean fart or other things. It was very convenient.
Tian Yuqiao had the rest of the green bricks laid out on the open space in the front yard. This way, they wouldn't have to worry about dirtying their shoes in the yard in the future when it rained.
There were also a few wooden poles in the front yard, tied with hemp rope, and then they could dry the quilts and dry the mushrooms.
This time, Tian Yu Qiao had bought a lot of green bricks, so she directly built a small house at the front gate. Tian Yu Tang had proposed that he leave a nest for the puppies in the future.
When Old Man Zeng saw that Tian Yuqiao's family had already prepared everything but the door was still open, he asked, "Qiao'er, your family's door is also going to be made. What are you planning to make?"
"Oh right, Uncle Zeng, I was just about to ask for your help." I plan to make a big iron gate and leave behind all the places. Just make sure it's safe and tall when you design it for us. " Tian Yuqiao said with a smile.
"Fine, your uncle, I, am not good at anything else. Forging iron is my specialty. I will make sure that you will have a sturdy metal gate."
In the backyard, near the north side of the garden, something similar to a drain flowed out. It could directly pour the bath water out, and the water could then be stored in the garden through the hole.
When the water entered the vegetable field, the temperature would probably not be too high, so it would not affect the dishes in the ground. Instead, the water would have some energy left, so there was no need to go out and pour the water.
