"That's good, young lady, that's good, how did you come up with it?"

Zhou Rongrong scratched his head.

"That is, through the wisdom of the immortals."

Master Sun: I don’t believe it, but I won’t ask anymore.

He understood the kang, but he didn't quite understand the fire wall, so Zhou Rongrong explained it to him again.

After they figured it out, Master Sun looked at Zhou Rongrong with sparkling eyes as if he was looking at the God of Wealth.

Zhou Rongrong raised her lips and started talking.

"Masters, you can see that this blueprint of mine is a good thing, not only in the north, but also in the damp and cold south, right?"

Master Sun said, "Of course, Madam Zhou's design is excellent. Rich people can build a heated kang or a heated wall. Poor people can spend a few hundred copper coins to build a heated kang and spend the winter safely."

Master Sun really wanted to say that if anyone bought the blueprints, she could build the house for Zhou Rongrong for free and also pay for the blueprints, but she couldn't say it out loud because of the other person's look. She felt that the other person knew what was going on, and sure enough, Zhou Rongrong spoke up.

"Master Sun, do you want to cooperate?"

Zhou Rongrong felt that she was still short of money, so she should not miss any opportunity to make money. She had not had this idea at first, but the way these two people looked at her was the same as how Boss Li looked at her at that time. My goodness, how could she let this go?

So she pretended to be a business veteran and asked if the other party wanted to cooperate. In fact, she didn't understand how the cooperation was possible. The other party had good skills and his own engineering team, but she only had blueprints. Was it considered technical cooperation?

Technical cooperation? How much shares do you want? He was still planning for the village. His mind was beating like crazy, but he didn't show it on his face. He looked like a fox.

Master Sun suddenly thought it was feasible and asked.

"How is Miss Zhou going to cooperate?"

Zhou Rongrong laughed.

"Build my house first, and then we can talk about cooperation after seeing the effect."

The main thing is that Zhou Rongrong still needs to think about how to cooperate. It depends on Master Sun to take out the almanac to see the start date. The start date is set to be two days later, which is a good day.

After setting a date, they started to negotiate the price. In the village, wasteland was not valuable, and neither was labor. The workers on Master Sun's side were all skilled and were more expensive, so they were paid 30 copper coins a day. Zhou Rongrong also knew the people in the village, so they paid 10 copper coins a day. Zhou Rongrong felt that repairing a house was physical work, so she set the price at 12 copper coins a day.

Two more stores will not disrupt the market. Master Sun said that with 20 people, it can be built in a month.

Zhou Rongrong sighed at the infrastructure maniac who could build it in just one month. After sending the masters away, Zhou Rongrong went to find the village chief. Now that spring ploughing has ended, most families in the village have surplus labor.

It was not difficult to need twenty people, so the village chief looked at the gong and called all the families together. He told them that Zhou Rongrong was going to build a house, and that the wages would also include two meals at noon and in the evening, which was already an excellent treatment.

So the place where they signed up was full. For those who worked in their family, especially Yue'er's father, who was a carpenter, Zhou Rongrong immediately raised the wages for this skilled worker to the same thirty copper coins a day as the workers brought by Master Sun.

Others, like Zhang Jiaerlang, all paid twelve copper coins. In this case, there was no need to sign an agreement. They just agreed on a start time and then went directly to Zhou's house.

After returning, Jiang Laosan spoke to Cheng in an angry manner.

"Why is sister-in-law like this? I get the same twelve copper coins as everyone else. We are relatives, so can't I get more?"

Ever since seeing what happened to the second brother's family, Cheng Shi was not happy with Jiang the third brother and no longer listened to him.

"I'm not saying anything. When they were in trouble, you were Boss Jiang's brother and you helped them. Even if you didn't have money, you could have helped them grow some crops and put in some effort. The sister-in-law would have remembered your kindness. Why should they give you more money if you treat them badly?"

Jiang Laosan was speechless after being confronted by his wife. He slammed the table heavily, snorted, and walked out.

Seeing him like this, Cheng shook her head helplessly. He didn't even look at the few families in the village who were on good terms with Zhou Rongrong. They were doing so well now. I heard that last time they only paid one or two taels of silver a month.

They and Zhou Rongrong are relatives. If they don't hire people from their family, who can they blame? If she were Zhou Rongrong, she wouldn't even give this job to Jiang Laosan.

She also heard from the old people that the two brothers of the Jiang family were truly disloyal and ungrateful. It was the eldest brother Jiang who raised them and arranged for them to get married. Even the betrothal gifts for her and Qian were given by the eldest brother Jiang.

As a result, the person disappeared and the family was divided directly, which would make no one happy.

She is a person with dignity, and she has seen through the two brothers, both of whom are shameless. But there is nothing she can do but change herself.

Zhou Rongrong counted the number of people. There were twenty people in the village, and twenty people on Master Sun's side, a total of forty people. If Grandma Wang cooked, she would not be able to handle it.

So Zhou Rongrong also hired Yue'er's mother, Zhou Min's mother, Aunt Zhang and Jiang Manman, who were working at home. There were a total of five people in the kitchen, so they were able to handle the work.

After getting everything ready, Zhou Rongrong started shopping. She brought all the utensils from home and also brought some from Master Sun's place. She also bought vegetables, rice, noodles, etc.

Zhou Rongrong thought about it and decided to make a big stew. A big pot would be enough for two dishes, so she took Grandma Wang and the village chief's ox cart to go shopping.

After all the purchases, one day's meals would cost eight to nine hundred copper coins, and that was done after Granny Wang bargained for it.

Speaking of this, Granny Wang looked at Zhou Rongrong with a hint of disappointment. Which restaurant has meat for every meal? Or meat for both meals? Isn't that expensive?

When I told Zhou Rongrong about this, she said she was using a legitimate reason to tell me that I had to eat my fill before I could work. But Grandma Wang was still angry when she saw that I needed so much food in a day.

Zhou Rongrong hugged Granny Wang's arm and acted like a spoiled brat: "Granny, look at the money. If you don't use it, you won't make any money."

Granny Wang said angrily, "What kind of perverted theory is this? I have never heard of it. I have only heard of thrift and diligence."

Zhou Rongrong coaxed, "Oh, mother-in-law, building a house for me is a big happy event. If the food is ready, people will definitely build a detailed house for me, and I can live there longer."

Granny Wang had no choice but to let her do what she wanted. She thought that this was the case, so she went back and told the workers to work harder and make more pills to earn money for Rongrong.

There's nothing we can do about it; their master is too good at spending money.

The next day.

At the appointed time, Master Sun brought his men and a motorcade to Zhou Rongrong's home. As soon as the firecrackers were set off, the work began. Master Sun took out a carved green stone tablet with the words "Taishan Shi Gan Dang" engraved on it, dug a hole in the middle and placed it in the middle as a talisman to ward off evil spirits.

It implies being invincible, able to subdue all evil spirits, and able to bear all disasters. After that, the stone tablet will be hidden inside the wall. Then Zhou Rongrong dug a hoe on the foundation, which means that construction can begin.

With a shout of "Oh~~~", people rushed forward and started working.

Zhou Rongrong didn't quite understand what this meant, the village chief said.

"This is the custom in our village. Building a house is a good thing. I'm digging the foundation for you to bring you good luck. Next time, you'll build your own house."

As for the village chief, he was the supervisor hired by Zhou Rongrong. He was also very proud because his wife told him that this was a large yard with two entrances. It would be a great honor to tell others that their village also had such a grand yard.

Then he said.

"I heard you're going to dig another well?"

Zhou Rongrong nodded.

"Well, otherwise it would be too much trouble."
