After dressing as a superb old woman, I am bound to the power system

Although the strict rules are a bit intrusive, the Duan family gave enough money, and those who wanted to work could be queued from Duanjia Village to the county town.

Qiao Lan is a person who strives for speed. The Duan family has a lot of land and is pressed for time. There are not enough people in Duanjia Village, so she recruited a few from neighboring villages.

For a time, the fields of Duan's family were full of people farming. As the number of people increased, more and more people wanted to fish in troubled waters.

It's okay to stand at the edge of the field and be lazy occasionally. After all, you won't be paid until the work is done.

A lazy man from the next village lived by working in the city to save scraps of copper. He spent three days fishing and two days drying nets and working on the field. Most of his two acres of land were left uncultivated. Generally, all the people who work in the fields are given are grains.

It is rare to give copper coins, and for this reason, everyone is vying to come to Duan's house.

Lazy Han couldn't find any work in the city, so he took over the Duan family's farming work. Farming in this field gave birth to a lot of good ideas. He thought the Duan family's pea seeds were good and plump, so he thought about secretly taking some home.

Plant it in your own land.

As soon as he started taking action, the system detection tool immediately alerted the police.

Qiao Lan opened the panel and saw that the field planting rate was falling slowly.

What's going on?

He immediately took Uncle Sun and Duan Mingchen over to take a look around.

It happened that the group of people arrived. The lazy man was stuffing the pea seeds grown by the Duan family into his own water hyacinth. There were not enough peas in the bucket, so he only threw one or two peas into each hole.

The land was remote and no one was looking at it. After throwing it away, he closed the soil and thought he had done a perfect job. Who would have thought that after planting a few rows, his family would come over and get the stolen goods.

There are many people farming the land, but there is only one person who cheats and cheats. When the incident is exposed, everyone laughs and hates this cheating man. What if the Duan family gets angry and doesn't recruit people to farm the land in the future?

To put it more broadly, it ruins the reputation of a village, making people think that the men in their village are opportunists, and making people afraid to hire people from their village to work. Not only Duan Kunshan, but also the head of the village next door mentioned it

Gift came over to apologize to Qiao Lan, and took the lazy man over to apologize.

Reputation aside, they would never dare to offend the Duan family.

Qiao Lan thought about it and realized that the seeds were not lost and the land was still in good condition.

She confiscated the gift and only punished the lazy man to hoe weeds on five acres of land without any wages.

Fortunately, these peas were originally grown to be used as fertilizer, so there wasn't that much emphasis on them. They could just let other men plant them again.

On the other hand, people in Duanjia Village always talk about the Duan family when they chat in their spare time. They say that the Duan family is very smart and even catches those who cheat and cheat.

Others say that the Duan family is kind-hearted, and if someone destroys their family's land, they will not let it go.

No matter what others said, when the peas were mostly planted, Qiao Lan took home all the things he had ordered in the county.

There are several things that Qiao Land ordered, mainly various utensils for raising chickens. One is baskets and boards for raising chickens, and the other is bamboo and wooden bowls for feeding chickens water and rice. They look very exquisite.

As for the stove, Qiao Lan also thought about it. She asked someone to go to the blacksmith shop and ask how much it would cost to order an iron stove. Ironware in this era was expensive, and Qiao Lan's brows jumped when she heard the number reported by the blacksmith shop.

, and asked Takeshiro how much it would cost to build a fireplace.

After comparing the quotes from both sides, Qiao Lan immediately decided to ask Takeshiro to help her build several stoves at home.

The Duan family's house is made of burned mud bricks. Although it is a bit old and green grass has grown on the eaves, it is very strong.

The fireplace that Qiao Lan envisioned was very simple. Just paint the wall with plaster, lay a few bricks on it, put a roof on it, and raise the inside of the stove to make it easier to sweep away the ashes after the firewood is lit.

However, Takeshiro looked around the Duan family's study, then turned to Qiao Lan and said, "Old madam, this house is sealed tightly. The fireplace built in the house is not easy to exhaust smoke. We need to lift up the tiles and build a chimney."

, otherwise the smoke will destroy the books in the house."

Takeshiro made a good calculation. It would take a lot of work to build a chimney and lift tiles, so he could earn more.

But Qiao Lan overturned his idea without even looking at it, "Why bother building a chimney? You can use a bamboo tube to exhaust the smoke."

Takeshiro rolled his eyes, and then advised: "Old lady, this bamboo chimney will be blackened and cracked by smoke, and it will have to be replaced after a year at most."

“Wouldn’t it be better to change it every year?”

Takeshiro:......

Takeshiro probably understood that unless the old lady wanted to spend the money, no one could let her spend it.

He had no choice but to follow Qiao Lan's instructions and cut a hole in the nearby window to build a bamboo chimney.

The Duan family plans to build two fireplaces, one in the study room where the children study, and the other in the Wang family's house.

When the weather gets cold, the children and grandchildren will be reading in the house, and the daughter-in-law will be doing embroidery in the house.

But Mrs. Wang was a little surprised when she heard Qiao Lan's words, "Mom, why don't we build the stove in your house? You are the elder, so I should stay close to you first. They study to shine, we don't need it..."

Qiao Lan disagreed: "How can you not be cold when working in winter? Just build one."

"Mom, let's build it in your house. If it gets cold then, we will go to your house to work."

Hearing this, Qiao Lan couldn't help but think deeply.

What she cares about is not the issue of money. Building a fireplace is a small amount of money. The main thing is that there are a lot of things in her house and she often takes classes in bed.

There still needs to be some private space.

"Then just build it all up." Qiao Lan said.

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang beamed and went to the house to help pack things.

Qiao Lan was unwilling to build a chimney as Takeshiro said, mainly because she felt it was not necessary.

In Qiao Lan's opinion, the Duan family's old house is too run-down. Just make do with what you can make, and there is no need to add new ones.

Before Duan Yuexiu became rich, this house had been built for decades. Although some renovations were done at the back and new wall plaster was painted, it looked a lot tidier. But when the weather dries, the layer of loess beneath your feet will rise up directly with the soles of your shoes.

And every time Qiao Lan looked up, she saw the dark eaves, and every night she felt the whirring of air leaking from the cracks in the old house and the sound of mice scurrying around.

If Duan Yuexiu was still alive, Qiao Lan would definitely complain about him. He has become such a big official and is reluctant to build a new house in his hometown.

So Qiao Lan plans to build it himself!

As for when to cover it!

Wait until she earns enough money!

When building a chicken coop this time, Qiao Lan asked others about it. To build two houses and a yard in the countryside, it cost at least ten taels of silver. Her chicken coop was simple, only two taels of silver including the mud.

If you want to build a big yard, you need to prepare at least fifty or sixty taels.

She could accept her fate by traveling through time, but she couldn't live her life well. She wasn't going to live in a shabby house and live on a meager diet, nor was she going to take any extravagant route.

As much as her abilities allow, Qiao Lan wants her family to live a good life together.

I found the bug in the previous article, but it is a channel article, so it is troublesome to change it. I will definitely keep my eyes open in the future!
