I saw that the building in the painting was lifelike, and every brick and tile was clearly marked. Ying Qingci also marked the pond in the yard and the structure of the floor one by one.
Zhang Maosheng looked straight at the painting in front of him as if he had found a treasure, and every detail fell into his eyes.
"It's so exquisite."
He sighed, then looked away, and his eyes fell on Ying Qingci.
"Did you draw this?"
He has never seen such a building before. Even the construction of those by wealthy families is not so exquisite. It looks ordinary on the outside, but the difficulty of construction is not behind those of those by wealthy families.
And it is more subtle and closer to life.
"How about it? Uncle Zhang, can the house in this painting be built?"
Ying Qingci asked another question instead.
Zhang Maosheng pondered for a moment, "I have never seen a house like this before. Also, what is this thing in your yard?"
He pointed at something round and round, and a pavilion-like thing that covered it.
Ying Qingci's eyes fell on it, "That's a well, and it's protected by a guardrail to ensure safety. However, this is also my idea. The well may not be dug out?"
"Dig?" Zhang Maosheng caught the words in her sentence and was a little confused, why dig?
"It's like this, Uncle Zhang. I thought it was too troublesome to go to the river to fetch water, so I thought that digging a well at home would also solve the problem of inconvenience and large water consumption at home."
After all, in the future, it won’t just be water used at home.
Zhang Maosheng's eyes lit up when he heard Ying Qingci's explanation. This well sounded really convenient.
In their village, most people go to fetch water from the river upstream, or they go to the spring in the mountains to get water to eat. They have never heard of digging a well.
"Will this work?"
"Whether it will be successful or not is not known yet, but there is a 90% chance that water can be dug out from this location."
After hearing this, Zhang Maosheng sighed in his heart. If a well can really be dug, it would be a good thing.
"I am not 100% sure about the construction of this house, only about 80% or 90% sure."
"It doesn't matter, Uncle Zhang, just do your best."
Originally, she didn't expect to be able to build it exactly the same. Even in modern times, the drawings drawn by designers have to be revised many times. How could the built house be exactly the same as the drawings?
"However, if you want to build this house, you can't get it without eighty taels."
The materials for this house require blue bricks and red tiles. Those things are very expensive, and there are labor costs. As a craftsman, Zhang Maosheng felt that it was necessary for Ying Qingci to know these things.
"No problem, just feel free to do it."
Her original plan was one hundred taels, but Zhang Maosheng's budget was eighty taels, which actually saved her twenty taels.
Twenty taels can supplement the wages of workers.
"Well, if you believe me, I can help you buy the materials to build the house."
"Thank you very much, Uncle Zhang."
"You're welcome."
This is also for himself.
…
After negotiating with Zhang Maosheng about building a house, Ying Qingci was ready to go out.
"Sister Qingci, are you going up the mountain?"
Just as she walked out, Hei Wa next door suddenly looked at her.
"Hei Wa?" Ying Qingci was stunned and nodded, "Yes, I'm going to the mountains to find some food."
"Then Sister Qingci, be careful." Hei Wa said sheepishly, "Sister Qingci, the food you cook is so delicious. I have never eaten anything so delicious before."
After saying that, Hei Wa shrank his head in embarrassment.
Qin Huiniang heard what he said as soon as she walked out. She couldn't help laughing and scolding, and looked up at Ying Qingci, "Xiao Liu, the chicken soup you brought to our family last time, Hei Wa has been thinking about it since he ate it. He said it to everyone he met. , don’t take it to heart.”
"Aunt Huiniang, how come?" Ying Qingci smiled, then turned to look at Hei Wa.
"Thank you. I appreciate the compliment."
"No...you're welcome." Hei Wa blushed. Oh my god, Sister Qingci's smile was too gentle, right?
"Then Aunt Huiniang, I'm leaving first."
"Hei Wa, goodbye."
"Sister Qingci, goodbye."
After saying hello to Hei Wa and Qin Huiniang, Ying Qingci walked towards the back mountain.
Seeing her leave, Hei Wa's eyes flashed with desire. He also wanted to go up the mountain, but after what happened last time, Qin Huiniang clearly prohibited him from going there.
"Okay, your sister Qingci has gone far, go home quickly." Qin Huiniang touched Hei Wa's head and returned to the yard with the dustpan in her hand.
As soon as we reached the foot of the mountain, we met an uninvited guest.
Ying Qingci didn't know him, but she had heard of him. More than one person had said something about him, but none of them had good words.
"Hey, who is this?" the other party's careless voice sounded, with a hint of sleuthing in his eyes, which fell on Ying Qingci unscrupulously.
When his eyes fell on her face, his eyes suddenly lit up.
He had never seen anyone as good-looking as Ying Qingci in the village, and he couldn't bear it for a moment.
"Oh, isn't this the new family that moved to our village? What? Want to go up the mountain?"
Ying Qingci didn't want to pay attention to him. Qin Huiniang had mentioned him before, a famous gangster in the village. Moreover, last time she heard her father and others talk about him, he seemed to be the one causing trouble in the crowd.
Seeing that she ignored him, the smile on Ergouzi's face faded a lot, and he looked at her with a condescending expression.
"I'm just an outsider. Let me tell you, if you want to live peacefully here, I advise you to treat me better. Otherwise, don't blame me for making it difficult for you to live in the village!"
Ying Qingci's footsteps suddenly stopped. Seeing this, Ergouzi thought she had compromised.
His chin was raised high and his eyes rolled around. When he looked at Ying Qingci, there was a hint of evil light.
"If you serve your brother well, he might even help you."
'boom--'
Ying Qingci frowned and kicked him directly.
Er Gouzi never thought that a delicate young lady like Ying Qingci would dare to take action directly. It could also be said that he had never taken it to heart. After all, how strong could a young lady be?
But he didn't expect that Ying Qingci's kick directly staggered him, took a few steps back, and sat straight on the ground.
"How dare you kick me!"
Er Gouzi's face instantly sank, and he looked at Ying Qingci with a gloomy look.
Ying Qingci ignored him and turned around to leave.
Watching her leave, Er Gouzi spat out the dogtail grass in his mouth, "If you dare to offend me, just wait for me."
