Building a house is actually very easy as long as you have money.
During these two months, when farming is slack, each family just does small tasks like adding fertilizer to nearby fields, and the village is full of people.
The people in Liujia Village have the same ancestor for four generations, and the clan is united. Old Man Liu is of a high generation, so he can call many strong laborers with just a word.
To country people, building a house is not a technical job. Even if they don’t know how to do it, they have seen other people building their houses.
In this way, technical jobs have mature conditions.

Tiles are heavy, so beams are needed to support them. Good beams are not cheap.
Qin Yao asked: "How much silver does it cost?"
Old Man Liu said, "About four ounces."
Qin Yao: Today is another day when I want to beat up Liu Laosan!
