After passing through the book, she became the farmer's wife of the villain

Chapter 104 Looking for someone to build a house

Mei Laoer and Yang Shitou were chatting aside, while Mei Luomei sat on the stone with her chin propped up and thought about Jun Buhuan.

After three years of being together day and night, she has become accustomed to having him by her side. Now that they have been separated for just a few days, she feels like they are separated by several worlds. This feeling is really uncomfortable!

I wanted to open the system and write him a greeting letter, but I felt that the occasion was not right, so I could only look into the distance and picture his face in my mind.

The older you get, the more manly you become!

"They're back."

Yang Shitou's sudden words interrupted the charming thoughts in Melome's mind. When she regained consciousness, she saw that some people were indeed walking towards this direction in the distance.

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

As soon as he finished speaking, he ran towards a few people and met them together.

A few people were talking about something in the distance. The distance was too far for Melome to hear clearly. She guessed that they were talking about looking for someone or something.

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

There was a little beggar who was fifteen or sixteen years old and looked at the two people sitting under the tree and asked Sheep Shitou in disbelief.

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

Yang Shitou: "It's true. They are my fellow villagers. If I hadn't earned a little money by working for her family, I wouldn't have been able to get here alive."

The 178-year-old beggar's eyes sparkled, "Brother, agree, they are in charge of the food."

"Yes, let's go. We only got a penny today, and we may have to starve again tonight." The little beggar pulled the big beggar's sleeve and said.

"Okay, as long as we can take care of the food, let us go up to the mountains of swords and the sea of ​​fire." The older beggar gritted his teeth and made a decision.

More than a dozen beggars negotiated and then followed Sheep Shitou over.

"I heard that you are looking for someone to work for?" The big beggar walked up to Mei Laoer and asked.

Mei Lao Er pointed at Mero Mei who was sitting on the side, scratched his head, and said: "My daughter is looking for her, so I came with her."

Melome stood up, scanned the dozen or so people with her eyes, and said, "What can you do?"

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

Melome was speechless, "It's good to be loyal, but it's not good if your brother ignores you and still helps fight."

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

This reason is absolutely perfect!

But when I thought that I was just asking people to work, and not asking them to stay for a long time, I didn’t worry about it.

She is diligent, able to work, and makes no mistakes, so she will turn a blind eye.

Melome said: "Okay, you can go work with me and get three meals a day and no wages. But if you do well, you may get some rewards. Other benefits will depend on your performance in the future."

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

It's hard to address everyone, so Melome had to say: "You can call me boss from now on. Now let me introduce your names first, and then you can call me boss."

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 said his name, Merlome's face turned green. There were twelve people in total, except the sheep Shitou, and the other eleven dogs, from big dogs to eleven dogs.

Even if I change it to a pig, what will happen if everyone calls me a dog?

There were twelve people in total, including two little girls and the others were all boys, the older one fifteen or sixteen years old and the younger one seven or eight years old.

Some people were beggars from birth, and others had no place to live here because their parents died due to drought.

Melome originally wanted to find someone to work for, but now that everyone is young, she began to hesitate again.

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

"Don't worry, we will work hard. Just give us a wild vegetable wotou for every meal."

Eleven Dog is an eight-year-old boy. When Melome said this, he was afraid that she would not want him, so he immediately patted his chest to protect her.

Seeing his cleverness, Merome had no choice but to take these people back.

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

Hearing this, Big Dog said: "I have been begging here since I was a child. I know all the people around here. The boss is looking for a craftsman to build a house. I can take you there."

"Okay, then you can take me there." Mero Mei nodded, and then said to Mei Laoer on the side: "Dad, you go to the bullock cart first and wait for me. I will go with him to find the craftsman and then come back."

"But Meimei, you are alone..." Mei Laoer looked at her daughter, very worried.

"Don't worry, Dad, you forgot that I have a bodyguard."

After Merome said that, she took a small path and walked towards the west of the city with the big dog.

The two of them soon arrived at the west side of the city. Seeing this dilapidated house, it was hard to imagine that this was actually a county area near the capital.

It seems that this emperor is not good enough and will have to be replaced sooner or later!

Merome pursed her lips and continued to follow the big dog.

"Boss, you may not think this place is shabby, but there are a few uncles who are really good at craftsmanship. People in wealthy areas like to come to them to repair their houses, because the houses they build are affordable and easy to live in."

Melome asked Big Dog, "You have never lived in one, how do you know that the house they built is easy to live in?"

Could it be that he was tricking her?

The big dog said: "If it's not easy to live in, how can those gentlemen and ladies in the wealthy areas come here to invite them? I know of several families."

Well, it seems that people have observed the details, so we can see that being a beggar is also a technical job.

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

The big dog stepped forward, pulled the door 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 holding a wet clothes hammer.

It seems that I was just doing laundry in the yard.

"Come in, he is 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, holding a plane in his hand.

He was just planing wood to make some stools.

Nowadays, the world is difficult. There are very few people who ask him to repair their houses, and there are even fewer people who want to buy furniture. But there is no other way, so I have to make some tables and chairs at home and put them away to see if I can buy one or two if I have the opportunity.

pieces.

"Oh, my family has just settled in Qingtian County and doesn't have a house yet, so I would like 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 said, "That's not it. Even if you are new here, I suggest you build a shack to live in first and build it after the world gets better."

"Master, my little girl wants to repair the house. Why don't you repair it? Do you know that we are almost out of food now?"

Carpenter Zhang's wife, the woman who washes clothes, heard this and knew that the man had to be a good person again, so she immediately came over to remind him.

Merome 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, so it won't be a problem to build a house."

Since the owner of the house had said so, Carpenter Zhang stopped trying to persuade him, put down the planer, and invited Mei Luomei and Mei Luomei to sit at home and discuss the house together.

"Master, 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 feasible?"

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

The one I took out now is exactly the imitation version.

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

Melome said: "I was lucky enough to save a noble man, and he gave me this blueprint as a reward."

Since it is a gift from a noble person, it is naturally extraordinary.

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

Melome said: "Of course this blueprint can be sold, but I'm afraid you can't afford the price. Besides, you helped build the house, haven't you learned everything on the blueprint, why do you need to ask me?"

Carpenter Zhang fiddled with the drawings, "We have rules in our industry. If the owner doesn't agree, you are not allowed to steal other people's drawings."

Melome raised her eyebrows, feeling that these ancient people were really simple. If they were modern, there might be many pirated copies!

But there is only one drawing, which style she wants to buy.

Thinking of this, Melome said: "You help our family build the house for free, and these drawings will be used as payment, but the materials must be of high quality, and the speed must be fast. Our family is still waiting to move in."

Carpenter Zhang looked at the drawings again, frowned and said: "It's okay to help build it for free, but I'm afraid you have to think of a solution for the colored glaze on the window sill, because only the royal family has this thing. If you can't buy it, then what's the point?

The windows can only be made of materials."

Melomei had known this would happen for a long time, and said nonchalantly: "I will find a way to deal with Liuli. All you need to do is build the house."

Seeing that she could think of a solution for the window, Carpenter Zhang added: "Because your house occupies a large area and is of a new style. If you want to build it, we will work hard every day, and I'm afraid it will take two or three months."

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

Melomei nodded and said: "Then I'll have to worry about Carpenter Zhang. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Carpenter Zhang immediately stood up and said goodbye, "I will bring people over to repair the house tomorrow. Have you chosen the foundation?"

"The selection has been made, but there are a lot of pebbles and weeds, and they still need to be cleaned up."

Zhang Carpenter said: "These are not big things. Since there is a place, let's come over early tomorrow morning."

Melome nodded, gave the address, left the drawings with Carpenter Zhang, and then left with Big Dog.
