"You're welcome to come anytime! I'll always be happy to have you here!"
Luo Yunhe nodded and said nothing more. She took her things and left the shop again. After leaving, she did not leave the town immediately. Instead, she found a blacksmith shop nearby.
She didn't have enough at the blacksmith shop, so she bought some nails.
Ancient nails were different from Type 21 nails; ancient nails were generally much larger. It took some effort to drive them into the wood.
After thinking for a moment, Luo Yunhe decided to have a batch of long, thin nails custom-made by the shop owner. The ends of the nails, in particular, needed to be extremely sharp.
The blacksmith shop owner readily agreed.
After finishing her work, Luo Yunhe hurriedly went home.
I wonder if the village chief has found someone to build her a house yet!
She walked very fast along the way. In the 21st century, he would never have been able to walk that much distance, but after coming to this ancient time, she had become accustomed to walking.
As soon as I got back to my neighborhood, I saw all the villagers gathered there, whispering and gossiping among themselves.
Luo Yunhe walked over and saw the location of her thatched hut. Many people had already gathered there, pointing and gesturing, including the village chief.
"They're building a house here..."
"Tsk tsk, didn't they just separate the family? They immediately built a house with 30 taels of silver. What are they going to do about Su Jingxuan's leg?"
"Who knows? But how can anyone live in this house? Look at all that grain, it's all so wet..."
"Tsk tsk, speaking of grain, their methods are truly outrageous! The grain is perfectly dry, but they insist on letting it get soaked in heavy rain before delivering it to people!"
"So fast, could it be on purpose?"
"Most likely!"
Luo Yunhe memorized every single word of the villagers' murmurs.
If Su Chenshi dares to do something bad, Luo Yunhe will definitely not let her off.
She squeezed through the crowd and walked towards her own land. When the people saw that it was Luo Yunhe, they started whispering among themselves.
"village head!"
"Girl, you're here! Come, come, let me introduce you. These are all old acquaintances of mine. They're absolutely reliable and trustworthy when it comes to building houses. You can tell them what you're thinking!"
"Thank you, Village Chief!" Luo Yunhe looked at the workers in front of her and quickly explained her thoughts in detail.
Especially the house should face east...
After listening, the foreman remeasured the location as he had indicated and then nodded.
"Hmm, that's a good idea. The main gate faces east, which is believed to bring good fortune, and your house can have two roads..."
"Brothers, I have some more ideas!"
Luo Yunhe explained all her ideas to them in detail, even gesturing to show them the location of their house as she spoke.
"Girls, you guys haven't studied feng shui, have you?"
"What do you mean?" Luo Yunhe was momentarily confused by the other party's words.
"Look, if you build the house in that location with the main door facing east, then the back of the house will face west. And look at what's to the west not far away..."
After the bald man finished explaining, Luo Yunhe looked towards the other man's hand, where West Mountain was located at the far west.
That means his family not only has auspicious purple clouds coming from the east, but also has a mountain behind them.
In Feng Shui, this is indeed beneficial to the development of the entire family.
Luo Yunhe laughed. It was a complete accident, but he was quite happy about it.
"Brothers, I don't know anything about feng shui. I only know that this makes it convenient for us to come and go... Could you tell me how much material, manpower, and time it will take to build this house? Could you give me a rough estimate? I might be willing to pay a deposit first..."
When the foreman heard that a house was to be built for their family, he overheard the villagers' conversations on his way there and was worried that they wouldn't be able to pay him.
Seeing how seriously the young girl was speaking, the foreman immediately began to make plans without saying a word.
After all the calculations were completed, the foreman looked at her and said, "Girl, I've calculated the wages and material costs for you. It's a total of two hundred and ninety taels of silver."
Luo Yunhe nodded, then looked at the river not far away.
"I want to dig another large pit over there to store water. The water source will be flowing, and I want to put a large waterwheel on it. Brother, do you think it's possible?"
The foreman looked at the location of the water source, and after Chaochao took a few steps, he finally focused his attention on a relatively recessed area.
“A waterwheel can be built, but I see that this is the only place where we can make a big pit, and then the water will flow in from this side and out from the other side, creating a flowing system, and then we can put a big waterwheel on top of it.”
The waterwheel can be made to rotate. If you need to divert water here, just turn the waterwheel, and it will swirl the water in one direction to this side. Isn't this your land? This makes watering very convenient..."
Luo Yunhe nodded: "Okay, then calculate the total amount!"
The foreman did some more calculations and quickly came up with the costs for the water truck and the digging of the pit.
"Girl, that's three hundred and fifty taels in total! Do you want any more furniture?"
"I'll personally order the furniture later!" Luo Yunhe took out 200 taels of silver and stuffed it into the clerk's hand.
"This is the deposit; I hope construction can begin as soon as possible!"
The bald man's eyes widened when he saw the 200 taels of silver in his hand. He hadn't expected the other party to take out 200 taels directly, and he was very happy.
"Don't worry, young lady, I'll go back and have people prepare to start construction tomorrow!"
Luo Yunhe nodded: "Village Chief, I'll most likely need to take care of Su Jingxuan next! I'll need your help looking after things at home!"
Luo Yunhe spoke up somewhat embarrassedly, and then took out two taels of silver and stuffed it into the village chief's hand.
"Consider this my treat for a drink. Don't be shy!"
Looking at the two taels of silver in his hand, the village chief instinctively wanted to refuse, but Luo Yunhe tightly held his hand, preventing him from handing it back.
"The country still needs you to go up there. If you're not even willing to accept this little thing, then I really don't know who else to turn to. Also, village chief, I have another favor to ask of you!"
The village chief was a little embarrassed, but when he heard that the village chief needed his help, he readily agreed.
"Girl, tell me!"
"That's how it is!" Luo Yunhe explained the twenty loads of grain that had been soaked by the rain.
