Liuliu was the quickest to act. As soon as she finished breakfast, her mother pulled her aside, "Liuliu, are you planning to build a tile-roofed house?" Liuliu's mother had heard this from her son the day before.
"Yes, Mom, don't worry about it. Yesterday I hired the village tile maker. He'll provide both labor and materials, we won't even have to cook for them – they'll handle their meals. The price isn't steep either: a mere 19 taels of silver per room, without any hassle for me. I began construction yesterday afternoon. I plan to build six rooms, and once they're complete, would you like to come take a look? I estimate the work will be done in about ten days, at least that's what the tile maker said." Liuliu explained it all.
