Chapter 31 Maintenance Begins

The second floor was just as Josh had said. There were traces of dark green rain on the walls, which were mosses grown due to long-term moisture. The wooden floor in the corners was rotten from the rain. It felt soft when stepped on, and it seemed that water could seep out.

The walls of the houses facing away from the sun have some cracks and a lot of debris left by the previous farmer. They are now covered with dust and dilapidated.

Going around a few rooms, Goben said, "The problem on the second floor is much easier to deal with than the basement. We can just remove all the moldy and rotten wooden floors and replace them with new ones.

The cracks on the wall may be caused by long-term soaking in rain, which leads to large changes in the wetness and dryness of the house, or the wall scraping materials used when the cottage was built were not good or the construction workers used incorrect techniques. The high-quality wall powder produced by our Mud Monster can make up for this problem well.

The roof was damaged because the slates were cracked and the tiles were sliding off, which resulted in insufficient shelter. Rainwater fell and was airtight for a long time, so the water vapor could not be discharged and the wooden floor and corners were flooded. We just need to replace the slates and tiles on the roof. "

Qiao Xi nodded. As expected, professional matters should be handled by professionals. After hearing what he said, it didn't seem like a big deal.

"Then let's start measuring the construction area of ​​the house." Goben took out the tools and looked at Josh.

Josh nodded, indicating that they could start measuring.

After a while, the brothers put away their tools. "Ms. Qiao Xi, the area of ​​the two-story building that needs to be repaired is about 300 square meters. We charge according to the area. The repair and cleaning is 127 per square meter. If the farm provides all the wood, we will charge you 38,000 federal points."

Qiao Xi thought about it for a moment and felt that the price was not excessive. After all, it was to renovate the house, so it would cost so much money. She nodded.

Okay, onto the next item.

The large warehouse was made of wood. There was no cargo inside, only some dust and weeds. However, most of the shelves and boxes inside were made of wood and had long since rotted away, which was why Josh did not have enough containers before.

"It's simple here. Just replace the rotten and worm-eaten wood on the wall, replace the dilapidated roof, level the ground, add waterproof and insect-proof wooden boards, and then put up some shelves and boxes. What do you think, Miss Qiao Xi?"

Josh nodded in approval.

Goben asked again: "I wonder if your farmer has any ice-attributed monsters. We can also apply anti-freeze and temperature-fixing paint on the walls, which can allow the ice energy to circulate in the warehouse and extend the storage period."

"Yes." He didn't know that Qiao Xi didn't bring the big-tailed yak with him when he was communicating with Goben yesterday.

"That's great. Ice-attribute monsters are very useful for farms." Das complimented.

"If the basic materials are all produced by the farm, we will quote you a price of 6,000 federal points for the warehouse. Do we need to measure it before calculating? The warehouse is 50 per square mile." asked Goben.

"No, I trust you." The warehouse was no smaller than the house, and Josh could tell without measuring that it was definitely more than 300 square meters. Their offer was reasonable.

"Well, can we go take another look at the cowshed? I want to repair it together." Qiao Xi suddenly remembered that the big-tailed yak was still sleeping pitifully in the dilapidated cowshed.

"Of course." Goben agreed readily. He wished there were as many places that needed repair as possible.

Seeing that he agreed, Qiao Xi took the two brothers to the cowshed. When they saw the big-tailed yak, Qiao Xi sensitively noticed that the two brothers were stunned for a moment.

"Ms. Qiao Xi, what kind of monster is this?" Das asked excitedly. He liked such tall and mighty house-elf.

“It’s a big-tailed yak.”

"Oh, I know. It's a large magical beast in the snow, but it's different from the ones I've seen before. It's taller. Is it a high-level magical beast?" Das looked at the big-tailed yak infatuatedly. What a beautiful magical beast.

"Obviously it is." Josh touched the big-tailed yak's forehead.

"Wow, it's so beautiful." Das continued to praise.

Goben interrupted his chatter and said to Josh in an embarrassed tone, "Dass is like this. He can't walk when he sees a large monster. He likes this kind of monster. I'm sorry to embarrass you."

"No way, it's a good thing that some people like big-tailed yaks." Qiao Xi said with a smile.

Goben patted Das on the shoulder and gently reprimanded him: "Focus on your work, don't be silly."

"Tsk, brother, you're so boring." Das withdrew his gaze helplessly.

"This shouldn't be a single cowshed. It should be a large livestock pen. The basic structure is intact. We just need to repair the holes and the roof. It's very simple. You should want to raise other livestock in the future, right? I suggest you divide it into several sections in the middle to separate the different species."

"Okay, just follow your experience." As long as Josh wasn't angry, she was easy to talk to.

"Ms. Josh, we can repair the cowshed for you for free. Can we take away the remaining wood from the entire project in exchange?" Goben said seriously.

"You know, we need a lot of wood for our work, but we have to pay a high price to buy it from merchants. The federal government does not allow our engineering team to cut down trees at will."

Josh thought for a moment, "Okay, but you can't deliberately cut down more trees for the sake of wood to make a profit. I only allow you to take away the remaining part for repairs." She said in a serious tone.

The brothers nodded, "Of course, don't worry."

"So when can we start work?" Josh asked.

"We still need some time to prepare. Tomorrow we will come and cut down the necessary trees. We can start work next week after we are ready. What do you think?"

"sure."

Watching the Rexia carriage rumbling away, Qiao Xi took a deep breath and finally confirmed that she really didn't like dealing with people. It was so tiring.

Woohoo, looking for a big-tailed yak to stick with.

After bullying the big-tailed yak a little, Qiao Xi came back to life full of energy.

The sun had set, and Josh went out for a leisurely walk, checking on the crops in the fields to see how they were doing.

The taro in the field grew better and better, and Qiao Xi heard many voices crying out in hunger, because there was not enough fertilizer.

It is also a critical period of growth and development, and nutritional needs are much greater than usual.

Suddenly, the big-tailed yak that was leisurely eating grass by the lake sneezed. It looked around blankly, wondering why it suddenly sneezed.

It had no idea that the evil little farmer was planning to take its poop again.

In the taro and bamboo field, Qiao Xi stroked his chin and thought that after such a long time, there should be a lot of cow dung accumulated again.

Don’t be anxious, little taro bamboos, I’ll give you enough this time!

That area unit was made up by me, just take a look at it, anyway, the area that needs to be repaired is about 1,000 square meters. It's a little bigger because there are monsters in the other world, so just take a look at it, don't think about it.
