Chapter 154 Want to build a courtyard
Author: Zhang Shangan
Wan Qiang's execution was very strong, and he went to town to sell it the next day. Naturally, because their skewers were the only ones in their town, they made a lot of money.
Wan Qiang used the money he earned to buy some more meat. In addition, he also bought hundreds of duck eggs specifically for Hongdou.
At the moment, Hongdou is leading a large family to make eggs.
Preserved eggs are made by mixing quicklime, yellow red powder, tea leaves, soda ash, plant ash and salt with water to form a paste, and then wrapping it around the duck eggs.
Wait for a while to mature.
If the weather is hot in summer, fifty days is usually enough, and in winter it may take a little longer.
Hongdou calculated: "We will be able to eat preserved eggs next month."
In addition to eating it themselves, they can also sell it.
This is another source of income for the family. In this case, their purchase of property there will be stable.
However, it is very important to buy property there, and it is also very important to buy it at home.
On the same day, Hongdou told Wanqing this question:
"I'm pregnant and my baby is about to be born. I only have these few rooms in the house. Isn't it not feasible?"
Although the family's house is newly built, according to their original plan, it is estimated that it can be lived in by several generations.
However, Hongdou is pregnant with quintuplets!
I don’t know how many boys and girls there are, but no matter how many there are, this house is not enough to live in, so we have to build a house.
Wan Qing also had this intention. When Hong Dou said this, he nodded: "Don't worry about this daughter-in-law. My father told me some time ago and asked me if I was thinking about buying a house. We had just bought land at that time.
I don’t have much money left, so I didn’t say anything, but it’s okay to take a look now. I’ll go to the village chief’s house in the next few days and plan to buy a piece of land and then build a few houses.”
"Okay." Hong Dou was happy. She didn't expect that Wan Qing would actually want to go in front of her.
"That's great." Hongdou sighed.
Wan Qing: "You only now know how good I am?"
As he said this, he teased Anko and made Anko blush again.
In the end, Hong Dou glared at him a few times, and Wan Qing stopped. Then he told Hong Dou about the situation of the land in the village and let Hong Dou choose.
Hongdou: "If you can, it would be nice to stay here. It's right behind our house. There are few people and it's quiet. Moreover, we can live in this house directly. Even if the new house is built, we can also move this house directly."
Do you think it would be nice to encircle the house and make it into a family?"
"It should be okay. I will tell the village chief when I find a time. He is in charge of the land in our village. We have few people here and not many people are willing to live at the foot of the mountain. If we want to buy this land, it should not be a big problem.
.”
"Well, I'm relieved about that." Hongdou nodded.
Wan Qing also nodded, and then asked: "What kind of house does the wife want to build?"
He remembered that his daughter-in-law could draw, "If my daughter-in-law has a style she wants, she can draw it and I will find a skilled craftsman to do it."
"Yeah." Hongdou nodded repeatedly.
That is her new house, and if nothing happens, she may live here for the rest of her life, so she will naturally have to put more effort into making it a good one.
But, what will it be like?
Hongdou thought about what she had just said, "I want to put this current house into the new house."
"What is that?" Wan Qing asked.
Hongdou, hehe, she was thinking of what a courtyard house would look like.
But what does a courtyard look like? I have to draw it for Wan Qing to see.
Because of this, Hongdou picked up another charcoal pen and began to write and draw on a piece of paper.
Wan Qing knew that his daughter-in-law could paint, but this was the first time he saw her painting a house. He couldn't help but concentrate on watching her paint.
One advantage of Hongdou is that she is very serious when doing things. Because of this, her delicate little face is even more radiant.
Wan Qing felt intoxicated just by looking at it.
Then, he couldn't help but put a hand on Hongdou's waist, and couldn't help but rub his fingers, and said in a low voice: "Daughter-in-law~"
Hongdou was painting seriously and didn't hear Wan Qing's words at all, and naturally didn't see his expression.
At the moment I am focusing on my painting.
She is a painter from a wild background, but she has spirituality after all, and now she has systematic tutoring, which has made her painting skills even better.
Originally, Hongdou was not good at painting buildings, only landscapes and figures.
But now, she can actually draw such a complex and warm courtyard house.
Hongdou drew it based on his fantasy of a courtyard house. Of course, in order to make his new home more atmospheric, Hongdou used the system to find a very grand courtyard house, and increased or decreased it according to the changes on it.
With this move, the entire courtyard becomes very grand.
Wan Qing was a little distracted at first, but soon his expression became serious:
"Daughter-in-law, is this what you drew?"
"Siheyuan." Hongdou chuckled, "Siheyuan is a courtyard with houses built on four sides, and the courtyard is surrounded from all four sides in the middle. This is the Siheyuan."
"Then why does the layout of your courtyard look like a 'mu'?" Wan Qing thought about it for a long time before he came up with it.
"This~" Hongdou said with pride, "This 'm' means that our new home has three entrances. Among them, the courtyard is in the shape of 'kou', which means it is one entrance. The shape is 'sun', which means it is the first entrance.
We have a large number of people in the second-entry building, so I decided to make it a three-entry building. Then we will have a gatehouse, hall, and private space, which is also convenient."
Of course Hongdou didn't understand this knowledge before. She had a system. When she just saw the layout of the courtyard, she also took a look at it. Then she found it interesting and wrote it down. Now she just wants to tell Wan Qing.
Although Wan Qing was born and raised in the ancient times, he was just a country boy, and he didn't have the opportunity to go out and see much of the world, so he didn't know about the Siheyuan.
But looking at the picture that his daughter-in-law had drawn, Wan Qing couldn't help but nodded: "That's good. Everyone in the family can live in their own room by then. In the future, the second and third child will marry each other."
Daughter-in-law, you can also live here together. When you close the door, you will be your own little home, and when you open it, you will be a big family. It is quiet and private, not bad."
Hongdou nodded: "It's good, but it costs money."
"That's for sure, there are so many rooms." Wan Qing nodded.
Compared with other houses, this courtyard house has more houses.
But having more houses is really not a disadvantage for them, because they have a lot of people.
All in all, the two of us are quite satisfied with the current design.
After reading it, Wan Qing held up the piece of paper again: "In that case, I will tell my father and take this picture to the craftsman. I estimate that this house will not be ready in a short while."
Covered."
