It was almost a quarter of an hour later when we arrived at our residence at the foot of the mountain.
It takes almost ten minutes to get from the small thatched house where their family currently lives to their new residence at the foot of the mountain. But when they came today, they met villagers on the road, so it took them a little longer.
However, it doesn't matter, the house won't run away.
"My dear, is this our home from now on?"
Huang Xuecao looked at the house in front of him. It was more than three times larger than the thatched house they lived in now.
"Yes, sister, this house is really too big."
Ying Qingjia almost jumped up when she looked at the big house in front of her.
If they live in it, everyone can have a separate room, which they didn't dare to think about before.
Ying Qinghan had been preparing for the academy exams during this period. Now when he saw his house, his eyes widened in shock and he was a little unbelievable.
"This...is really our home?"
"Of course, brother, let's go in and have a look later. There's a yard inside."
In addition to the yard, there is also a small vegetable garden and a lake reserved inside. In the summer, the family can eat and chat together in the yard and enjoy the cool air. It is really the best choice.
"Brother Ying, you are here."
The villager had seen the Ying family from afar, but now he saw them and walked over with a smile on his face.
"village head."
Ying Wangzhu smiled and greeted the village chief.
Zhang Maosheng also saw Ying Qingci's figure and walked over from a short distance away.
"How is it? Are you satisfied?"
When he said this, the pride in his tone was very obvious.
Obviously, he is very satisfied with this construction.
"Of course, thank you Uncle Zhang."
When she was first given the drawings to Zhang Maosheng, she thought that it would be good if they could build eighty percent of what was on the drawings. Unexpectedly, they built a statue of Nine Cities.
It was indeed beyond her expectation.
"You're welcome. Without the drawings you gave me, I wouldn't have been able to build such an exquisite and ingenious house." He helped many people build houses in the past half of his life, but he had never built a house as spectacular as this one today.
Although he was not sure when he first saw the drawings, it was only after he actually built it and saw the real thing that he realized how shocking and spectacular it was to see it.
His heart was beating fiercely for the house he had built in front of him.
"Uncle Zhang is so polite. The drawings are only external, and building a house requires exquisite skills. It is enough to show that your craftsmanship is extraordinary."
Ying Qingci looked at Zhang Maosheng in front of him. Compared with before, Zhang Maosheng had obviously regained a lot of confidence.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see it."
Zhang Maosheng stopped pushing her back and forth and directly changed the subject.
The house was built by Zhang Maosheng. If anyone was familiar with it, it would be him.
Walking into the yard, Ying Qingci saw the small pavilion in the yard at a glance. There was a well in the small pavilion, which was dug out by Ying Qingci under the guidance of Ying Qingci after the construction of the previous wall was completed.
Seeing the well again, Zhang Maosheng could not hide his surprise.
“I really didn’t expect that the land here could actually dig a well.”
When he saw the well for the first time, he was surprised and curious. It was obviously a wasteland, but it was really miraculous that water could be dug out.
With this well, it will be much more convenient for them to get water in the future. At least, they don't have to go back and forth to the spring to get water every day.
"It's actually not surprising. Although this is a wasteland, there is water in this location, and the soil on the surface is very moist. It's not surprising that groundwater can be dug out."
"Then according to what you mean, as long as there is water on the surface, can water be dug out from wet places on the surface?"
"Not necessarily." Ying Qingci shook her head, "You need to sense the terrain to know this."
"Surveying the terrain?"
What kind of weird word is this? He had never heard of it.
"Yes, it is not necessarily necessary to dig out water sources under such conditions. In some places, you can dig down a little further and you can also dig out water sources."
"Like this?" Zhang Maosheng's eyes lit up. This was the first time he heard such words.
"Um."
Ying Qingci nodded. She learned this knowledge from her uncle in her previous life.
In her previous life, her uncle was an agricultural expert and was very proficient in geology and other knowledge.
She has learned a little bit, so she can make judgments so quickly when she sees the surface environment here.
The yard is very tidy. I think Zhang Maosheng and others also cleaned the yard when they were finishing the work.
The lake that was originally blocked by sludge has also been cleaned up. Now there is only a big pit in front of it, and the dirty and smelly muddy water was led out by Ying Qingci.
Next, we only need to refill the lake with clean water, and the lake will return to its former appearance.
As for the things planted in the lake, Ying Qingci has not found them yet.
It doesn’t hurt to empty it first after filling it with water.
"Uncle Zhang, this courtyard is well built. Your skills are indeed superb."
It was not in vain that she spent more than one hundred taels of silver.
Later, in order to make the house more beautiful, she specially chose more durable and beautiful building materials. Of course, Zhang Maosheng helped her buy this.
"No need to say any more polite words."
Zhang Maosheng waved his hand.
"By the way, Uncle Zhang, now that the house construction is completed, our family will hold a warm house banquet. To thank you for your help, I hope you can come with us in a few days."
Zhang Maosheng opened his mouth and wanted to refuse.
However, before he could say the words, Ying Qingci saw what he meant.
"Uncle Zhang, I hope you won't refuse. This is your work. Moreover, we have settled in Qingyang Village now. I hope you won't dislike it. Moreover, this is also an opportunity."
"Okay." Zhang Maosheng sighed helplessly. He had to say that Ying Qingci persuaded him.
If you want to get in front of people, it sounds like it is indeed an opportunity. There will definitely be a lot of people coming to the Wen Ju Banquet. By then, without him having to publicize it too much, the village will spread this matter. Zhang Maosheng's name Nature will reappear in front of people.
Although there are other craftsmen now, Zhang Maosheng's craftsmanship is there. Even if he has been out of sight for many years, there is still the reflection of Ying Qingci's new home. I think there will still be people who come to him for work.
When Ying Qingci heard what he said, she smiled and walked in without saying anything more.
Although it is a courtyard house, it only covers less than an acre of land. Otherwise, it would cost more than one hundred taels of silver.
But even so, in the eyes of others, this is still a very luxurious residence.
