Chapter 104 Find someone to build a house

Mei's second child was chatting with Yang Shitou, and Mei Luomei sat on the stone with her chin propped up, thinking of Jun Buhuan.

After being together day and night for three years, she has become used to him being by his side, but now it's only a few days apart, and it feels like she has been separated from several worlds. This feeling is really uncomfortable!
I wanted to open the system and write him a greeting letter, but felt that the occasion was wrong, so I could only look at the distance and sketch his face in my mind.

The older you get, the more masculine you are!
"They're back."

Yang Shitou's sudden words interrupted the charm in Melomei's mind, and when she came back to her senses, there were indeed some people walking towards her in the distance.

Yang Shitou stood up and said, "Wait for me, I'll go and talk to them first."

Hua Luo immediately ran to several people and met them together.

A few people were chatting in the distance. The distance was too far, and Melomei couldn't hear clearly. She guessed that they were talking about looking for someone or something.

"Shitou, you mean they are looking for work?"

A little beggar aged fifteen or sixteen glanced at the two people sitting under the tree, and asked Yang Shitou in disbelief.

He didn't believe that such a good thing would happen to him.

Yang Shitou: "It's true, they are from my hometown. If I didn't help her family to earn a little money, I wouldn't be able to get here alive."

The eyes of the - year old beggar sparkled, "Brother, please agree, they are in charge of the food."

"That's right, let's go, we only got a penny today, we might go hungry again tonight." The little beggar grabbed the big beggar by the sleeve and said.

"Okay, as long as we can manage the food, let us go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire." The older beggar gritted his teeth and made a decision.

After more than a dozen beggars discussed it, they followed Yang Shitou over.

"I heard that you are looking for someone to work?" the big beggar walked up to Mei's second son and asked.

Mei Laoer pointed to Melomei who was sitting on the side, scratched his head, and said, "My daughter is looking for it, so I came with her."

Melomei stood up, glanced at the dozen or so people, and said, "What do you all do?"

The big beggar said: "We are more diligent, stronger, can run errands, can fight, and are more loyal."

Melomei was speechless, "It's a good thing to show loyalty, but if your brother ignores you and goes to help fight, it's not good."

The big beggar didn't expect the other party to say that, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "We will ask the reason first."

This reason is also absolute!

But thinking that I just asked people to work, not to ask people to live for a long time, I didn't worry about it.

Diligent, able to work, and making no mistakes, she just turned a blind eye.

Melome said: "Okay, you can go to work with me, and you will get three meals a day. There is no wages, but if you do well, you may be rewarded. Other benefits will depend on your performance in the future."

The big beggar patted his chest and assured him: "Don't worry, as long as you take care of the food, we will definitely work diligently."

Everyone, you and I are very difficult to address, Melomei had no choice but to say: "You can call me the boss in the future, now let me introduce your names, and then I will be able to call people."

The big beggar said: "My name is Big Dog."

Another beggar stood up and said, "My name is Ergou."

……

When the last beggar stood up and finished declaring his name, Melomei's face turned green. There were twelve people in total, except Yang Shitou, and eleven other dogs, ranging from big dogs to eleven dogs.

Even if it's another pig, what can everyone call a dog?
There were twelve people in total, two of them were little girls, and the others were all boys. The older one was fifteen or sixteen years old, and the younger one was seven or eight years old.

Some of them were beggars from birth, and others had no place to hide here because of the drought and the death of their parents.

Melomei originally wanted to find someone to work for, but now seeing that everyone was young, she began to hesitate again.

"I'm looking for work, not trouble, do you understand?"

"Don't worry, we will work hard, you can just give a wild vegetable bun for every meal."

Eleven Dog is an eight-year-old boy. Seeing what Melomei said, he was afraid that she would not want him, so he immediately patted his chest for protection.

Seeing that he was clever, Melome had no choice but to take these people back.

After walking a few steps, I suddenly remembered that the house had not yet been settled, and asked again: "Do you know where there are masons, carpenters, etc.? I plan to build a big house and need craftsmen."

The big dog heard the words and said: "I have been begging here since I was a child, and I know all the people around here. The boss wants to find a craftsman who built a house, and I can take you there."

"Okay, then you take me there." Melomei nodded, and then said to Mei's second son on the side: "Father, you go to the bullock cart and wait for me first, and I will go find the craftsman with him and come back."

"But Meimei, you are alone..." Mei's second child looked at her daughter, very worried.

"Don't worry dad, you forgot that I have guards."

After Melomei finished speaking, she took a small path and walked west of the city with the big dog.

The two soon came to the west of the city. Seeing this dilapidated house, it was hard to imagine that this was actually a county seat near the capital.

It seems that this emperor is not good enough, and sooner or later he has to be replaced!
Melomei pursed her lips and continued to follow the big dog.

"Boss, don't look at the dilapidated place here, but there are a few uncles with really good craftsmanship. People in the rich areas like to come to them to repair their houses, because the houses they build are affordable and easy to live in."

Melomei asked the big dog, "You have never lived in it, how do you know that the house they built is easy to live in?"

Could it be that he lied to her?

The big dog said: "If it's not easy to live in, would those gentlemen and wives be willing to come here to invite them in the rich district? As far as I know, there are quite a few."

Well, it seems that people are very observant, so we can know that being a beggar is also a technical job.

The two walked into the alley, turned around and turned, and finally came to a wooden door with peeling paint.

The big dog went up to the knocker and shook it.

A voice came from inside, "Who is it?"

"It's me, Big Dog, looking for Carpenter Zhang."

The door was opened, and a woman came out with a wet hammer.

Looks like just doing laundry in the yard.

"Come in, he's in the house." He shouted into the house again, "Master, someone is looking for you."

"What do you want from me?" Carpenter Zhang came out of the house, still holding a plane in his hand.

He was just planing wood and was going to make some stools.

Nowadays, the world is difficult, and few people ask him to repair houses, and even fewer people buy furniture, but there is no other way out, so we have to make some tables and chairs at home and put them away first, to see if there is a chance to buy them for a couple of days pieces.

"Oh, my family just settled here in Qingtian County, and I don't have a house yet, so I want to ask you to help build a house."

She said a building, not a room.

Carpenter Zhang frowned and said, "Are you refugees?"

Melome said displeased: "Why, refugees can't ask you to repair their houses?"

Carpenter Zhang, "Isn't that right? Even if you're new here, it's better to build a hut to live in. It's better to repair it when the world gets better."

"The head of the house, the little girl wants to repair the house, why don't you repair it, do you know that we are almost out of food now."

Zhang Carpenter's wife, who was also a laundry woman, heard this and knew that a man should be a good person again, so she came over immediately to remind her.

Melomei raised her eyebrows, feeling that the carpenter was an honest person, and immediately said: "Don't worry, although my family has just moved here, we still have a small amount of savings at home, so it's not a problem to build a house."

Now that the owner said so, Carpenter Zhang stopped persuading him, put down the plane, and invited Mei Luomei to sit at home and discuss house matters together.

"Boss, how big a house do you want to build?"

Melome took out a blueprint from her arms and said, "I want to build this kind of house, do you think it's okay?"

This blueprint was purchased from the system, but Melome was worried about being discovered, so she imitated it according to the pattern.

The one I took out now is the imitation version.

Carpenter Zhang took the blueprint, and the more he looked at it, the more he was amazed, and the more he liked it, "The blueprint is designed in seconds. Dare I ask my boss, who made this blueprint?"

Melome said: "I was lucky to save a nobleman, and he gave me such a blueprint as a reward."

Since it is a gift from a nobleman, it is naturally extraordinary.

Carpenter Zhang understood, and said: "I have never built this house before, so I'm afraid I need to do some research. It's just this style, can the owner sell it to me?"

Melomei said: "Of course the blueprint can be sold, but I'm afraid you won't be able to afford it. Besides, you helped build the house. Didn't you learn everything on the blueprint? Why do you need to ask me?"

Carpenter Zhang fiddled with the blueprints, "We have rules in our industry. If the owner disagrees, we must not steal other people's blueprints."

Melomei raised her eyebrows, thinking that the ancients were really simple, if they were modern, there would be many pirated copies!

It's just a drawing, what style does she want to buy?

Thinking of this, Melomei said: "You help our family repair the house for free, and this blueprint will be regarded as a reward, but the materials must be high-quality, and the speed must be fast. Our family is still waiting to live."

Carpenter Zhang looked at the drawing again, frowned and said, "It's okay to help build it for free, but I'm afraid you have to figure out a way for the colored glaze on the window sill, because this thing is only available to the royal family. Windows can only be replaced by materials."

Melomei knew this would happen a long time ago, and said indifferently: "I will find a way about Liuli, as long as you build the house."

Seeing that she could figure out how to do it by herself, Carpenter Zhang said again: "Because your house occupies a large area and is a new style. If you want to build it well, we will rush to work every day, and I am afraid it will take two to three months."

It can be built in two or three months, which is already very fast for ancient pure handicrafts.

Melomei nodded and said: "Then I will trouble Carpenter Zhang. I have something to do, so I will take my leave first."

Carpenter Zhang immediately got up and saw him off, "Tomorrow I will bring people over to repair the house, have you chosen the foundation yet?"

"It has been selected, but there are a lot of small stones and weeds, and it needs to be cleaned up."

Carpenter Zhang said: "These are not big things. Since there is room, we will come over early tomorrow morning."

Melomei nodded, said the address, left the drawings to Carpenter Zhang, and then left with Dagou.
