Chapter 63: Attracting Business
Li is also away, probably staying in the west of the village to take care of Yang Laoer, while everyone else is at home.
As soon as Jiang Ning entered the house, he said to Old Man Yang: "Dad, those government officials just went to my house and were very satisfied after seeing the house. They ordered the repair work of the house with me. I plan to leave this matter to you and Lao San." Made of Erdan, adobe bricks cost three yuan a penny, tiles cost the same, floor tiles cost one penny and two yuan, and wall plaster costs five pence per square meter.
These are just materials costs, labor costs are calculated separately. There are two ways, one is ten cents a day per person, and the other is based on the house. How much does it cost to build a house? Which one do you think is appropriate? "
When the people in the old house heard this, their eyes widened.
Old man Yang was even more excited, "Old man, are you really here to live?"
Jiang Ning nodded heavily, "It's absolutely true! I've done the math. We can charge wages according to the square footage of the house. For example, the wages per square meter are fifteen cents. Generally, the square footage of a house is around thirty, which is four hundred. Fifty cents, if everyone is faster, the walls can be erected in one day, the beams can be installed on the second day, the tiles can be installed on the third day, and the doors and windows can be installed on the fourth day.
Earned 450 Wen in four days, which would be more than 3,000 Wen in one month. Even if it was divided equally among everyone, it would be a lot of money! "
Everyone felt excited after hearing this. Old Man Yang and Old Man Yang were better at calculating than Jiang Ning. They even took care of eating, drinking, and eating. After calculating, the father and son looked at each other and immediately agreed, let’s do it!
Since you are going to do this, you definitely can’t do it in a small way. You need to build several large earthen kilns to roast oysters, and you also need a spacious place to stack oyster shells. The stuff is extremely smelly, and many people in the village can’t get used to it, so it can’t be done in the village. .
Old man Yang thought about it for a while, and then said thoughtfully: "It would be great if we could capture the wasteland at the foot of Qingfeng Mountain."
There are few people living there, and due to the wind direction, the smell will not affect nearby homes.
“This matter is easy to handle. I’ll just ask the village chief to take over the wasteland later. After all, Erdan also has a share of this business. It’s a family property I bought for Erdan in advance.” Jiang Ning looked at Yang Erdan.
Everyone was a little surprised.
Old man Yang said even more earnestly: "My dear fellows, you have to think carefully. You have four sons, and you have to level a bowl of water!"
The old man just built a house and probably doesn’t have much money on hand. Now he wants to buy land for Erdan. The big man and his wife are not sure what they are thinking!
Jiang Ning covered her mouth and chuckled, "Don't worry, Dad, I know it. Datou and Ye Zi will definitely have no problem with it. I have other arrangements for the Three Irons and Four Villages, and I will definitely not upset any of my sons' hearts!"
Old man Yang stopped talking.
As soon as Jiang Ning left, Mrs. Zhou said with envy: "Sister-in-law has changed so much now. I never thought she could live such a prosperous life by herself!"
Yang Laosan said firmly: "If we work hard, we can definitely be like my sister-in-law!"
Zhou was smiling, her eyes full of longing.
Old man Yang's frown finally relaxed a little, and there was finally some good news during this period.
Thinking of this, he lifted his feet and walked out.
Jiang Ning brought Yang Erdan to the village chief’s house and proposed to buy the wasteland at the foot of Qingfeng Mountain.
The village chief frowned and said in confusion, "Big Tou Damn, didn't your family just build a house? Why do you want to buy land again? So many houses are not enough to live in?"
Jiang Ning covered his mouth and chuckled, "How can that be possible! It's not just that my family wants to make oysters. I love eating them, and the children can accept them. There are many uses, but the stuff tastes great, and there is no extra space at home to store it. .
In addition, several of my children often go into the mountains to climb trees and fish, and it is close to a stream. We set up a yard to build a yard, and we can also get some firewood and game from the mountains in the future. My Erdan will often stay there in the future. People in the village can go there directly if they have something to do, and it saves a lot of gossip. I think it’s good. "
The village chief patted his head and almost forgot about Jiang's identity as a widow. He was very pleased that she could consider so much. He immediately agreed, "The wasteland is also two hundred cents per acre. How much do you want to buy?"
According to Jiang Ning's idea, it was natural to buy as much as she could, but she only dared to think about it and did not dare to act. In the end, she only wanted two acres of wasteland.
Old man Yang walked all the way to the west of the village. The heavy feeling that he had just entered the door immediately hit his heart. He couldn't help but sighed and walked into the house, "How is it?"
Ms. Li stood up tiredly and whispered: "Today is much better than yesterday. I can sit down for a while. By the way, what did Mr. Qian say?"
Old man Yang told Li what Jiang Ning said, and Li turned pale with fright.
Old man Yang added: "But you don't have to worry too much. We have already inquired about our knowledge. We will not impose the death penalty. The specific sentence will depend on the wishes of the county magistrate. In short, this time thanks to our help.
I came here just to tell you that during this period, you can watch from the second son's side. If you have something to do, go back to the village and ask the third son's family for help. If you really can't handle it, go to the foot of Qingfeng Mountain to find us.
The old lady bought two acres of land at the foot of Qingfeng Mountain and planned to build a yard for Erdan to work on. She took over several house repair jobs for me and the old third Erdan. The three of us will probably have no time to spare. The family depends on you. "
Mrs. Li was so shocked by this series of news that she felt dizzy. Fortunately, none of them were bad, so she immediately smiled and said, "Then you should be careful and don't get too tired. Leave the job of going up to the roof to the young people." , Don’t be brave, I’m taking care of you, it’s okay!”
Old Man Yang nodded slightly, paused, and then said: "And Fugui, that child still has no energy. He spends most of the day sleeping, but he doesn't have a fever. I don't know what to do, everyone. The three hundred coins I gave him haven’t been used up yet, so I really can’t take him to the town to see a doctor.”
When Li heard this, he couldn't help but feel anxious.
Yang Laoer, who had his eyes tightly closed, finally opened them and said slowly: "Auntie, bring the wealth back and let Da Ya Er Ya look at it."
Li Shi subconsciously wanted to object, but when she saw Yang Laoer's pleading eyes, she could only agree.
Mr. Li followed Mr. Yang back to take care of the child. Yang Laoer was the only one left in the room, and he silently shed two lines of clear tears.
As soon as Jiang Ning got the land deed, Old Man Yang took Yang Laosan to Qingfeng Mountain to measure the land. He also urged Yang Erdan to prepare the materials for the earth kiln first, so that they could act separately.
Seeing that they were working hard, Jiang Ning stopped interfering and turned around to collect mushrooms.
Later, Mrs. Zhou accompanied Mrs. Li to take Yang Fugui to Hong'an Hall in the town. When they came back, they whispered to Jiang Ning: "There are several government officials outside our village. I don't know if it is because of the death. Many people in the village are worried." , people from other villages are asking about it.”
Zhou was very worried.
Jiang Ning was stunned for a moment and then thought that those people should be sent by the county magistrate to protect Mianmian. He glanced towards the entrance of the village and said: "Don't worry, it should be related to my child, don't pay attention to it."
Zhou immediately breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this and left with satisfaction.
Two days later, several gorgeous carriages entered Rongshu Village.
