This was her mistake. There was no cement or tiles in ancient times, so she could forget about having the bathroom she wanted. Helplessly, she changed it and built a washroom. As for going to the toilet, she still had to go to the outhouse. However, the outhouse was modified. The squat toilet was made of ceramic, and water was led in from the side. After using the toilet, she could just flush it with water.
The ceramics here are all black and gray, but the surface is smooth, so it can still be used as a squat toilet. A septic tank also needs to be dug. Tong Bo added, "I've told the craftsmen to come the day after tomorrow to build the house. Tomorrow they'll start clearing the land and bring the materials. Also, tomorrow Xishi Tofu Shop will deliver tofu skin and bean curd tendons, in the quantities you requested. The county shop is also finished, decorated in the style you drew for Wu Zhu, and we're just waiting to sell the spicy noodles."
Having such a capable second brother really frees my hands! Second Aunt looked a little uncertain and asked, "Wen Yao, are we really going to build a house?"
After hearing this, Qian's mother smiled and said, "You don't believe Yao'er, but you also don't believe Bo'er." Tong Wenyao nodded and said affirmatively, "Second Aunt, we need to build a house, otherwise the thatched house will collapse when it snows."
Speaking of snow, Tong Wenyao thought of the kang in her previous life. She took out the blueprint and added a kang to each room, but she only knew the principle. As for how to do it, she was afraid she would have to ask them for advice.
Then, you have to go through the social etiquette of the village. When I first came to the village, I had no money and it was all the villagers who helped me. Second Aunt knocked on the table and made a decision, "Then after the house is built, we will treat the whole village to a feast on the day we move in."
After the discussion, it was almost dark. Tong Wen Yao felt a little full after dinner and was taking a walk in the yard. After she walked around twice holding the fence, she found Pei Guanyu looking at her from the side, with a smile on his lips and a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
She hadn't gone out in the past few days, so she hadn't spoken to him. Even though he was covered in cotton, it couldn't hide his elegance. Tong Wenyao's lips curled up casually, and with a triumphant smile, she asked, "When does Prince Pei plan to return to the capital?"
Pei Guanyu glanced at her with his black eyes, then said calmly: "You will cure the poison in me."
"Ah! You're poisoned?" She looked surprised, as if she couldn't believe it. She asked him to stretch out his hand so she could feel his pulse. Pei Guanyu stared at her intently, as if trying to find a flaw in her face. However, Tong Wenyao's acting skills were so good that he couldn't see it and thought she really didn't know how to detoxify.
On the night when Pei Guanyu had a fever and was unconscious, she took his pulse and said she could cure the poison in his body. However, Tong Wenyao remembered that the book said Ji Huaixin could cure the poison, so she didn't need to do anything. Anyway, the poison in his body would be cured by the heroine later.
"But can you suppress my poison?" Pei Guanyu asked tentatively. Tong Wenyao scratched her head and asked with her head tilted, "I'm just doing acupuncture according to the textbook. I don't know how to treat poison at all!" Pei Guanyu snorted coldly at her nonsense. If he hadn't known in Wulin Town that she saved Tong Hong, he would have been fooled by her.
"I will help you find out who is plotting against your father." Tong Wen Yao's heart was moved when she heard this. This was also the reason why she wanted to save him at that time.
But when Tong Wen Yao opened her mouth to say the six words, "I will help you detoxify," she found that she couldn't say it. Pei Guanyu frowned and watched her make ah ah sounds, wondering what was wrong with her.
After trying several times, she compromised and decided to let Ji Huaixin save him. She said, "I can't cure your poison, but I can help you suppress it for five years. If you don't find an antidote after five years, you'll die."
He nodded after hearing this. He was not surprised. Even the best doctor in the Imperial Hospital had determined that he had three years to live, but she said that it could be suppressed and he could live two more years. He was lucky.
He looked somewhat relieved, but forced a smile and said, "I understand." Five years was enough for him to send that person to a high position.
Tong Wenyao felt sorry for him and consoled him, "Relax a little, maybe you'll meet a miracle doctor who can detoxify you in the future."
"Honestly, now that I've met you, I can live a few more years. It's a win all in all. Just tell me what medicine you need and I'll ask someone to find it." Tong Wen Yao didn't bother to be polite with him. She went back to her room, wrote a full list of medicines, and handed it to him.
When Pei Guanyu got the paper, he looked at the names of the herbs on it and couldn't help laughing, "You also need this five hundred year old ginseng?" Tong Wenyao said calmly, "Why would I write it down if I didn't need it?" Although she didn't look humble on the surface, she was very humble in her heart. Many of the medicines here were needed by her mother, and she was afraid that her mother would have some accidents during childbirth.
"Heh!" After saying that, he walked out of the yard. Tong Wen Yao didn't ask him why he went out in the middle of the night. Anyway, it was okay to hand those herbs to her.
After returning to the room, she wanted to turn over but couldn't because of the tight space. She could only pray that the house would be built soon. After they fell asleep again, she sneaked into the space again. She planted vegetables in the backyard one after another and put them in the space. What made her feel better was that the durian tree she had planted earlier was actually blooming. She believed that there would be durian to eat soon.
After coaxing Guaiguai and the little snow leopard for a while, she took out the deer to dismember it. The antlers could be sold at the pharmacy, but she prepared them first before selling them, so that the price would be higher. She took out a knife to dismember the corpse. The little snow leopard was waiting eagerly beside her, and she cut a small piece of meat for it to eat.
What happened next made her dumbfounded. The little snow leopard ran to Guaiguai with the meat in its mouth. Guaiguai stretched out its tail and patted its head gently, then opened its bloody mouth and swallowed the piece of meat directly.
The little snow leopard wasn't angry either. Its tail was wagging rapidly. It ran to her side again and acted coquettishly, wanting to exchange meat again. Tong Wenyao couldn't bear it and told the little leopard to stop bullying Xiaoxue. She cut a small piece of meat for it. If she hadn't known it was a snow leopard, she would have thought it was a dog. It was her negligence that she forgot to give it a name, but she named it Feichai, so she just called it Xiaoxue.
She quickly cut the meat with her knife and put it back into the villa. It could be kept fresh here, so there was no need to worry about the meat going bad. She put one deer leg aside and would take it out when she got up tomorrow and went to the county. This way, she would have a legitimate reason and her mother would not ask her any more questions.
The next morning, Tong Wen Yao woke up quickly. She found that Pei Guanyu had not come back since he left last night. Instead, he left her a note saying that the herbs should be picked up at Yiqing Pavilion. There was also a jade pendant on the note. Tong Wen Yao thought that he agreed to the cooperation last night, so when she went to the county today, she brought the herbs to make pills for him.
She told Qian's mother that she was going to the county. When Second Aunt heard this, she asked her to buy some cloth. The cloth you bought last time has already been used to make clothes. Your mother is about to give birth after the Chinese New Year, so we should make more clothes during the winter so that we can use them later.
After hearing this, Qian's mother hurriedly said, "Mrs. Cui, don't be so anxious. It's still early. You can do it when you have time after moving into the new house." When Second Aunt heard this, she thought it was the same and told her not to buy any more.
This time she went to the county to customize a squat toilet and had to go to a ceramic workshop. Her mother didn't quite understand, but she agreed to let her go.
