I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times

Chapter 393 Prepare manpower

As Mr. Lin said, he stretched out his hand and twirled his beard.

"If you want to start construction as soon as possible, sister, I can take you to the brick kiln immediately. But if you want to determine the quantity, you have to see the homestead before calculating."

“I heard that your ink master can calculate how many bricks and tiles are needed after seeing the homestead?”

 Listening to Bai Yunxi’s inquiry, Boss Cui nodded.

“This is basically true, but in addition to on-site inspection of the homestead, we also need to know the size and number of rooms of the house built by the owner, and then we can estimate how much bricks and wood to use. Once the quantity is obtained, it will basically not be wrong.”

"In this case, the eldest brother of the Cui family will come to my house early tomorrow morning to see the size of the homestead and the construction drawings of my house. If we can estimate the number of bricks and tiles, we can go to the brick and tile kiln to determine the quantity. Save yourself some trouble.”

“In addition, we also need the prices of wood, beams and other items. I also ask the eldest brother of the Cui family to help me recommend a reputable merchant.”

Although this period was backward, in terms of architecture, it has always been a model for future generations.

 Those ancient buildings that have been preserved by later generations are all amazing works. Regarding this, she has never doubted the wisdom of the ancients.

“As for the materials needed to build a house, sister, just rest assured. Xu’s Timber Shop in our town has a good reputation and fair prices.

 I heard that all the Xu family’s wood comes from the mountain forests left by their ancestors. They have been planted and harvested for generations, and the cycle of reincarnation changes. "

Hearing the word "Xu", Baiyunxi was stunned for a moment. The grain store was the Xu family's property. Did he not expect that the Xu family was also involved in the lumber business?

 Sure enough, all of their family's properties are related to people's livelihood. One is related to people's stomachs, and the other is related to people's homes. They are all indispensable items.

 After the last transaction with Shopkeeper Wang, Baiyunxi still has great trust in the management of Xu's Industry.

Thinking of this, Baiyunxi stood up and left,

"In this case, I won't bother you much. I will wait for the Cui family brother at home tomorrow. After checking the homestead, we will come to the town to customize the bricks and wood and try to start the construction as soon as possible."

“Originally, I planned to move into a new house before winter comes, but now the rumors of war are getting worse and worse. If I build it a day earlier, I can move in earlier and give peace of mind to the children at home.”

Hearing Baiyunxi’s plan, Boss Cui nodded.

“Young lady has thought it through, don’t worry, I will take my son there early tomorrow morning to try to start work early.”

Bai Yunxi walked to the door and stopped again, "By the way, I almost forgot. If construction starts, I would like to ask the eldest brother of the Cui family to take full responsibility for the manpower."

Looking at the confusion in Boss Cui’s eyes, Bai Yunxi smiled.

"To be honest, I have a lot of land at home and not enough manpower to handle it. Therefore, I would like to ask Brother Cui to prepare all the manpower. As for the wages, Brother Cui will draw up a list for me later. Whether it is by work or by It’s no problem if you pay by the day.”

Hearing Baiyunxi’s request, Boss Cui nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry about this. I have been a master painter for decades. There are many people building houses. Whether they are masons or small laborers, they are all paid according to the working hour, and they are not bullied. In addition, due to the impact of the current war, it is also I don’t know when it will end, everyone wants to make more money, and there is absolutely no problem in terms of manpower.”

 “That puts me at ease. See you tomorrow.”

 “You walk slowly, see you tomorrow.”
