96 Ordering Bricks

Li Xiao only felt that the road to town was particularly long. When he saw the gate of Daishi Town, he finally heaved a sigh of relief.

After entering the city, the two of them first went to the brick kiln in the west of the city to order bricks.

When the manager heard that Lin Xiaoyue was introduced by Jiang Dahe from Huangshi village and that Lin Xiaoyue wanted a lot of bricks, he gave her a more favorable price.

Because there was still stock in the brick kiln, after paying the money, they could start transporting bricks the next day.

!!

Then, Lin Xiaoyue brought Li Xiao out of the city and waited for Old Man Shi.

The two of them did not wait long under the tree before he came for the second time.

Seeing that Lin Xiaoyue had really bought an ox-cart, Old Man Shi was a little surprised.

“Tomorrow morning, you can go to the brick kiln in the west of the city. Ask them to give you the bricks ordered by Lin Xiaoyue and transport them to the Liu family’s house in Daishi Village, which is the innermost part of the village. A hundred bricks per trip means that you’ll need at least six trips a day. As for the price, I’ll give 54 wen per trip.” Lin Xiaoyue said directly.

“Alright! I’ll do four trips in the morning, and two more in the afternoon when the sun is not as strong.” Old Man Shi immediately responded.

This girl’s offer was higher than the market price by 1 wen. She didn’t take advantage of him.

Moreover, he might be able to pick up a few people on the way and earn more than 320 wen a day. According to Lin Xiaoyue, this task would take eight to nine days, and he could probably earn more than 3 taels of silver.

“Deal!”

Lin Xiaoyue gave Old Man Shi some more details, and then entered the city with Li Xiao again.

She didn’t come to town today just to order bricks, but also to buy some things.

The two of them first went to the grocery store.

Lin Xiaoyue also bought some pots and pans to prepare for the meals for so many people in the family.

Li Xiao finally spoke, “there will only be more people during the construction period. I don’t think we need so many bowls and chopsticks. Besides, two pots at home are basically enough.”

“These things won’t go bad anyway. In addition, after the house is built, I’m going to make a living with food. Everything can be used.”

Hunting was indeed not a long-term solution. Especially in the winter, when her mother would not allow her to go hunting in the mountains. Cooking was the most likely way she could think of to make money.

“Sure.” Li Xiao responded and didn’t stop her.

Lin Xiaoyue picked an oil lamp, two small wooden buckets, and two wooden barrels with lids.

Then, Lin Xiaoyue brought Li Xiao to the boutique.

When he found out that Lin Xiaoyue wanted to buy clothes for him, Li Xiao immediately refused.

“Didn’t Aunt Liu ask you buy some fabric to make clothes? Let’s just go buy some fabric.” He didn’t think it was necessary when Aunt Liu asked him to watch over Lin Xiaoyue, but now he realized that she really spent money without blinking.

Even if she had made a fortune by selling the ginseng, building the house, buying the ox-cart, and buying him and Qing’er should have cost more than half of it. It would be a waste to buy clothes for him now.

Li Xiao didn’t realize that he was already considering the Liu family and treating himself as a part of the Liu family.

“It’ll take two days for mom to make the clothes. You and Qing’er’s body are going to be exposed soon.”

Although she didn’t mind looking at his muscles from time to time, her heart ached for him because he didn’t even have any clothes to cover his body.

“Quickly go and try it.” Lin Xiaoyue urged again.

Li Xiao was silent.

Then, he nodded

He chose the largest size and went to try it on.

From tomorrow onwards, he would have to help transport bricks at the brick kiln, and it was indeed not good to have his body exposed.
