In famine years, the whole country is hiding from drought corpses. I have space and I am worthy of i

Although he works under her, it is only in name, and he is very free. After all, business does not happen all the time. Everyone usually receives small business, such as building a stove or building a stone staircase. They find an acquaintance to do it themselves. Once you do it, it only takes half a day.

If it's a big business like building a house, they will call Chen Lazi and let her make the decision. As long as they ask someone to give a message, their free workers will come over to help.

Chen Lazi returned to the west of the city and knocked on Liu Xi's door next door.

"What's wrong, Sister Lazi?" Liu Xi was packing cabinets in the yard.

Not long ago, he took on a business. Someone asked him to help build a cabinet for his daughter-in-law. Now that it was almost finished, it just needed to be painted. Chen Lazi happened to find him.

Chen Lazi looked at the completed wardrobes under the eaves and asked, "How is it? How long will it take you to finish this wardrobe?"

Liu Xi looked at the cabinet he had built, and his heart was full of joy. "It just needs to be painted. It will take half a day at most."

"Okay." Chen Lazi nodded.

"Why did sister come to see me? Are you here for business?" Liu Xi also knew what happened next door yesterday, so when Chen Lazi asked, he guessed a little bit.

"Yes, it's Xinmin Village. There are about seventeen families who want to build houses there. We have a lot of work to do next."

"Really?" Liu Xi's eyes lit up and he stood up immediately, excited, "With so many houses, how many cabinets do you have to pack? Sister, this is an opportunity to make money. You are really good."

"Don't be too happy too early. If we don't live well enough, we won't get any money." Chen Lazi reminded.

"Sister, don't worry. I, Liu Xi, have been doing carpentry for so many years. How could I make mistakes?" Liu Xi assured her chest.

"Okay, but you can't handle such a big business by yourself, so I have to find Carpenter Li and his family."

"No problem, sister, we can split it half and half. My appetite is not that big." Liu Xi quickly expressed his position. With his own energy, he really couldn't finish the meal. If he could share it, he had to sell a favor and he would do things in the future. It can also be much more convenient.

"Sure." Chen Lazi nodded. She had never planned to let Liu Xi eat it alone. After all, there were so many houses and so much furniture. If he did it alone, he might not be able to get it in a year and a half.

Chen Lazi continued to call people. Since the business in Xinmin Village was large and many people were needed, Chen Lazi basically called out all the people he could call.

These are people she trusts. When the time comes, she will personally check the goods and materials. No matter how carefully she supervises the work, there will be no mistakes. These people don't dare to play tricks under her eyes, otherwise she will never do it with them again. Business.

Because of her connections, these small business craftsmen were recruited by her, and gradually formed a team that could help their employers complete large projects in a short period of time.

Therefore, even if a woman takes the lead, many people in the city will look for her.

Over time, her name became famous. Although it was not as good as those older families specializing in house manufacturing, she was still somewhat famous.

There are a total of [-] families in Xinmin Village who want to build a house, and the Shen family occupies three households. The remaining [-] households each gave a deposit of one tael of silver. The Shen family gave the most, with [-] taels of silver.

After the materials are purchased, the villagers need to give them two-thirds of the project money, and after the house is completed, they will give them the remaining one-third.

When Shen Nan heard Chen Lazi's request, she was shocked. After several tests, she found that the other person was indeed a native of ancient times and had not traveled through time or anything.

She admired this very much. She didn't expect that someone here could come up with such an advanced concept. Such a woman would definitely become an outstanding businessman in time.

In the afternoon of the next day, more than a dozen ox carts came back pulling green bricks. In addition to green bricks, there were also red bricks.

Now that everything has stabilized, Shen Nan will definitely not wrong herself, so all she wants is blue bricks. This time, she wants to build a house according to her own preferences.

When it comes to building a house, everyone doesn’t have much money, so most of them decide to build an adobe house. The adobe house is not expensive and the soil is ready-made. It only requires some labor money and a few basic pieces of furniture, which costs about three or four dollars. It can be done for two silver coins.

The Li Zheng family ordered two thousand pieces of red bricks. Red bricks are not expensive. The wholesale price is one penny per piece. Just the materials alone cost two taels of silver, and the cost of the tiles was also taken into account. The total cost was another five taels of silver. He I estimate that ten taels of silver should be enough.

Furthermore, there is Aunt Su Fen's family. They also want to build a red brick house, but it is a bit smaller than the Li Zheng family. It costs eight or nine taels of silver.

Aunt Cuihua is different from other people in the village. Although she doesn't have much money, her husband is now in good health and can help her with some light work, plus she doesn't have to spend money to buy medicine for him.

Most of the burden on her body was lifted at once, and she looked very energetic. So when Chen Lazi came to the village yesterday to do statistics, she directly gave her a budget of seven taels of silver.

Chen Lazi gave a plan based on her budget and actual situation.

"Aunt, if you spend seven taels of silver, it will definitely be more than enough to build an adobe house, but if you build a red brick house, it's not even close. But I think since you are willing to spend so much money, you definitely don't want an adobe house. "

Chen Lazi looked at Aunt Cuihua. Aunt Cuihua blushed a little when she saw her. She also knew that she didn't have much money in her hands. With this little money, she was really not good enough, which was a bit embarrassing for others.

"Girl, I was mistaken. It's really difficult for you to put this amount in your hands.

In this case, our family is just like other people in the village. All we have to do is build an adobe house.

But please hire me two less workers. My men and I are both strong and we can work. "Aunt Cuihua specially emphasized to Chen Lazi.

"Auntie, actually I think your house can be built like this. The main room and bedrooms are built with red bricks, and the stove and toilet are built with adobe. As for the craftsmen, how about I arrange two less according to your wishes?"

"Okay, if it can really be built, Auntie will treat you to dinner. But if the money exceeds the limit, you should tell me in advance that we will replace the bricks with adobe and thatch, otherwise I won't be able to get the extra money by then. "

"Okay, Auntie, I'll keep an eye on it for you." Chen Lazi agreed with Aunt Cuihua and went to the next house.

Aunt Cuihua was very happy thinking that her family could live in a red brick house.

In order to save some labor costs, the villagers invited a few members of the family to dig soil, and all the excavated soil was transported back to their homestead.

They were originally farmers, and they must have seen adobe houses before. However, they did not know how to lay foundations. The adobe houses they built themselves could only be used as pigsties at most, and they were definitely not suitable for people to live in.
