Chapter 52
The next day, Ji Jiu ate the food that Aunt Qiao prepared for her before going out to buy things. Then she took out a pencil book and sat in front of her house. Ji Jiu sat down and drew a simple version of the greenhouse she wanted to grow winter vegetables. When she thought of the large amount of wood they had brought, she estimated that she could build up to three buildings. If she could save the wood and surround the walls with grass, that would be a good idea. Ji Jiu then drew another design. She thought that this greenhouse was mainly used only in the winter, so it was not necessary to do well. There is a lot of dry grass in the mountains after the drought. She slowly took them and carried them to cover the house.
Once the drawing was finished, Ji Jiu went to see them build a new pen. Seven men in the house helped to build a nice pen. They also made wood to protect the four pets from the cold wind. Uncle Kang and Kang Jie were making doors to block out the cold wind. Ji Jiu didn't know whose idea it was that they made four pens with a walkway in the middle. It looked like the stable she had seen in her previous life. There were holes to drain the water from inside to outside for cleaning the stable. Ji Jiu saw that they had smoothed the floor and drilled holes and then told Uncle Kang to get ready to enter the district. with her after finishing the door He also told the others not to do anything to the stall floor yet. She will go buy tiles to lay on the floor. It will be easier to clean and prevent germs for these animals.
Entered the district. Ji Jiu asks Uncle Kang to take her to the money exchange shop. She brought a 1,000 bill. Taels were exchanged for 9 100-tael bills, another 100 taels were exchanged for silver gourds and E-pae money for spending.
After leaving the money exchange shop, she had Uncle Kang take her to a porcelain shop, which was in the same area as the shop selling jars, cups, and bowls that she had bought things for before. Before he arrived at the shop, Ji Jiu asked Uncle Kang about it. He knew the number of tiles needed and also gave him double the amount. Ji Jiu then bought 100 tiles, priced at 30 baht per tile. She immediately paid the shop owner 3 taels. Ji Jiu gave directions to send them to her house by using a cart to follow her carriage. The owner of this shop also delivered free because of the distance. It's not too far to go to the village.
When you get home Ji Jiu got out of the horse carriage and put his wallet in, along with debiting the account to keep it in mind. She continued to take the drawing book to Uncle Kang. Uncle Kang, who had finished bringing the tiles to the four siblings to lay in the pen, then turned to talk to his young lady.
"Uncle Kang, I want to build a greenhouse like this. Uncle, do you think you have to hire Uncle Ai or do it yourself?"
Ji Jiu handed the house plans to Uncle Kang. He looked at the drawing in front of him and the description that Ji Jiu had written. If he didn't understand, he asked her until he knew all of her needs.
"It's better to do it yourself. The wood we brought here should be enough to build three houses for you." Uncle Kang answered as he thought.
"Um, as for the dry grass used to make the roof and surround the walls. I will take you up the mountain after the four brothers finish laying the floor of the pen."
"I accept you, young lady."
Ji Jiu went to look at the area where the greenhouse would be built. She didn't want the workers to suffer, so she thought of building it next to a wall near a stream. They will be able to connect water pipes easily. As for the remaining free space, there's a lot of it. You'd better ask Uncle Kang again. She really wasn't good at these things. If they could figure out how to earn their own money. She would let him keep the money for himself. She didn't want to cause too much trouble with other people's families. And I still don't know what to use them for. Even she herself doesn't know what to do as a career right now. Wow, she's just been born again. Why is this so difficult?
