After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 515 Gao Dongjia

You also have to take a shower and change clothes.

It was almost noon when everything was finally ready.

The four master craftsmen Gong, Liu, Yu and Ma also arrived.

Everyone is gathered, and the time of Chen arrives.

clang--!

Old Man Xun struck the gong and shouted, "The auspicious time has come. Let's worship!"

Grandpa Qin brought Qin Xiaomi and hurried to perform the worship... they lit candles, toasted, burned incense, and prayed for various blessings. After worshiping God, they had to worship the City God, and then the ancestors.

Qin Xiaomi was confused, but she endured it and finished the worship. It was because it was not allowed for a girl to lead the worship and groundbreaking ceremony.

The dear grandfather let her do it.

Her grandfather has made progress, so of course she has to cooperate.

clang--!

"We appeal to the God of Heaven and the God of the City. The Qin family has chosen an auspicious day, time and location to break ground. We pray for blessings from the God of Heaven and protection from the God of the City." Old man Xun had a lot of pretentious little words with a unique accent, which sounded like he was singing a ditty.

After reciting a long paragraph of auspicious words that I couldn't understand, he started clanging, clanging, and yelled to Grandpa Qin and Qin Xiaomi, "It's auspicious, it's auspicious, hurry up and dig a shovel of soil."

I don't know what's going on, but don't ask, just do it.

Grandpa Qin and Qin Xiaomi each dug a shovel of soil, and that was the end of the job.

clang!

"After the ceremony, let's send off the gods and distribute the sweet cakes." Old man Xun packed up his things and reached out to take a piece of sweet cake to eat.

Seeing this, Qin Liupo was dissatisfied. She glared at old man Xun and began to approach the cooked pig's head, intending to quietly tear off a piece of meat to add to her meal.

Old man Xun shouted, "Young master, Aunt Qin Liu is trying to steal our pig's head!"

Qin Liupo was so angry that she quickly retracted her hand and said with a smile: "Xiaomi, don't listen to him. Liupo wanted to help clean up the offerings."

Having said that, he hurried to work.

They quickly put the things into the basket and went to help distribute the cakes to the children from the village who came to congratulate them.

"Congratulations to the village chief for breaking ground. May the house he built last for eight hundred years."

"Dig up gold!"

I don’t know who taught me this at home, but the more I talk, the more outrageous it becomes.

Grandma Qin smiled and distributed sweet cakes to them.

Master Gong and his craftsmen have already started digging the foundation.

The layout is three main rooms and two double rooms, with a total of seven rooms. Each room is six meters square. The modern one is nearly 40 square meters, which makes it a large room that can be used for various purposes.

Just ...

"How many bricks are needed to build such a big house?" Uncle Qin said with a pained heart. "How many bricks are needed to build such a big house? A brick costs five cents. Five cents!"

"There are seven rooms in a yard. You need to build four more for a yard like this one. This is the smallest one. After that, you have to lay the floor tiles and build the walls..."

Uncle Qin thought about it and wanted to pinch his own philtrum: "Why are you such a spendthrift?!"

Qin Xiaomi: "I spend the money I earn, if Second Uncle has any complaints, just keep it to yourself. If you don't want to keep it to yourself, Second Uncle can start a business and give me dividends. As long as Second Uncle dares to give me dividends, I can let you scold me six times a day!"

Uncle Qin: "..."

Aunt Qin said, "I told you not to talk too much, but look, you've fallen into the trap of your own words."

Then he came over to curry favor with Qin Xiaomi: "Good niece, don't be angry with your uncle. Auntie will always stand on your side."

"Village chief, village chief, there is a car coming at the entrance of the village. It's here to deliver bricks to your house. It's Mr. Gao from Huangtao Town!" Huang Guijia ran over to report.

This Gao Dongjia was also an acquaintance of the Qin family. The Qin family bought the jars used to store the color soup and the small jars used to store the pigment powder from Gao Dongjia's workshop.

The Gao family's workshop is half owned by Xue Dongjia...If there wasn't this relationship, the Qin and Xue families would not dare to use the Gao family's jars.

Grandpa Qin called Uncle Qin: "Second brother, Mr. Gao is here, hurry up and take Dalang with you to greet him!"

"We'll go right away." Uncle Qin responded, and he and Jiang Dalang rushed to the village entrance to meet Gao Dongjia.

As expected, Huang Yanglong, Liang Zhi and his group came again.

Liang Zhi was happy to see Jiang Dalang: "Brother Jiang, I'm here to help. I don't want any wages, just buy me a meal, your food is delicious!"

Huang Yanglong snorted at him: "You only know how to eat."

Liang Zhi moved his wrist: "Being able to eat is only one of my skills. I have other skills. Do you want to try it?"

Xiaobai and Huang Laowu immediately stood up and said, "Master Liang Wu, you must not use violence against our young master."

Liang Zhi laughed at Huang Yanglong: "You are such a loser. You even need helpers when you fight, and you need two!"

Huang Yanglong laughed and retorted sarcastically: "I am rich and can afford to hire help. If you are not convinced, you can also hire some helpers to beat me up."

You'd better not be so rude. If he really calls out the soldiers who are protecting him to beat you up, you will be crippled at best.

"Now that you are here, please go into the village first." Jiang Dalang greeted them and went to greet Gao Dongjia: "Gao Dongjia has worked hard on the journey. The place has been cleared. You can just follow me."

"It's not hard." Gao Dongjia is a man in his forties with a gentle appearance. After asking his son to come over and greet Uncle Qin and Jiang Dalang, he called the convoy into the village.

Huangtao Town is in the next county, and it’s quite a distance away, so we pulled thirty cartloads of bricks here at a time.

Bang Bang Bang!

Huang Guijia knocked on the clapper and dutifully shouted: "The convoy is entering the village, pedestrians please take shelter!"

More than a quarter of an hour later, the convoy arrived about ten meters away from the west entrance of the village.

Jiang Dalang pointed to a spot and said, "Mr. Gao, just put it here."

"Hey." Gao Dongjia responded and called the guys, "Get out of the car and move the bricks!"

"Here we go!" Thirty guys responded and started moving bricks.

Liang Zhi also went to help.

With a large number of people, great strength and skilled workers, they moved all thirty truckloads of bricks in just half an hour.

Then start counting the money.

"One cart of bricks contains 350 pieces. Thirty carts of bricks contain 10,500 pieces. Each brick costs 5 cents... That's 52 ounces of silver in total."

After calculating the bill, Uncle Qin hesitated whether to pinch his Ren Zhong or pay the money!

Jiang Dalang said, "Second Uncle Qin, hurry up and pay me, fifty-two taels and five cents...Mr. Gao has already given us a two-cent discount on each brick, and even waived the shipping fee. We can't take advantage of Mr. Gao anymore, it's all hard-earned money."

These words made not only Mr. Gao, but also the bricklayers feel warm in their hearts.

Boss Gao said hurriedly, "Boss Xue gave the Qin family a bargain. I was just following orders and I dare not take credit for it."

The kiln was redeemed by Xue Dongjia, and even he was redeemed by Xue Dongjia. However, Xue Dongjia was kind and righteous, so he confiscated him as a slave and let his family continue to run the kiln and become the owner of the kiln.

So he did whatever Mr. Xue asked him to do.

"Here's the banknote, Mr. Gao, please check it." Uncle Qin handed over the banknote.

Gao Dongjia took it, checked it once, and after confirming that it was a real banknote, he put it away solemnly.

"Mr. Gao and his colleagues have worked hard along the way. The workshop has prepared meals for you. Please stay and eat together." Grandpa Qin came over to offer us some food.

But Gao Dongjia knew the Qin family's rules from Xue Dongjia, so he refused and said, "The new warehouse construction site has already prepared our meals, so we can just go back and eat."

Grandpa Qin saw that he couldn't keep them for long, so he had to give up and brought a basket of sweet cakes to Gao Dongjia and his family: "The more people eat the sweet cakes for the groundbreaking ceremony, the more popular my house will be."

This is the custom of the Wei Dynasty.

"Thank you, Mr. Qin. Congratulations on your family's prosperity and longevity."

The men followed suit and were quite skilled at it. They often delivered bricks and shouted this phrase whenever they broke ground, to bring some good luck to the host.

After shouting, he packed up his things and drove away.
