The next day, after the usual morning routine, Ji Jiu dragged the table and chairs out to wait for Uncle Ai, who would come to tell her today's appraised price. With Aunt Qiao and Uncle Yu helping as well. Aunt Qiao also came to sit and embroider a handkerchief, waiting to be Ji Jiu's friend. Now there are no herbs to dry.

Wait a short time and heard the voices of Uncle Phu Yai and Uncle Ai calling at the front of the house. Ah Yu ran to open the door and greeted the couple. As soon as they arrived at the table, Ji Jiu and Aunt Qiao greeted them as well. Aunt Qiao and Uncle Yu then went to bring water and put it on the table and entered the house.
Uncle Ai didn't delay. He explained the prices of various materials to Ji Jiu in detail. There was a list of items that explained each item, making it easy to calculate. Ji Jiu looked at what Uncle Ai had explained and added the price as he went. The total cost for the materials alone was 70 taels. This was because Ji Jiu ordered many items that needed to be rebuilt. make the price high The more difficult her toilet was to make, the price cost as much as 10 baht. Which tael is the unique roof tile that Ji Jiu designed to be wavy? This is 20 taels. As for the wood, the village headman allowed him to go up and cut it on the mountain. Except for the stakes, which must be used well according to Ji Jiu's standards. The material price can be summed up like this.
Ji Jiu listened to Uncle Ai and said that there was no problem with the price of these things. She asked Uncle Ai more about the fence. Uncle Ai said he would use bamboo to make a fence. Ji Jiu didn't object. She just said that she should build a 2 meter high fence to prevent people from spying on her house. Uncle Ai looked at each other and thought that this young lady is really afraid of people. So he, an adult, could only do what she wanted. Whatever makes her comfortable, he will arrange it for her. He had taken care of her like a child.
Finishing the matter of the wall, Ji Jiu inquired about the wages and found out that the normal daily wage was 20 baht per person per day. Ji Jiu said that she wanted everything to be finished quickly. There is no limit to how many people you can use. and her wages were 40 baht per person, but those who came to work must not be lazy and prying.
Uncle Ai and Uncle Elder promised her about selecting workers. Uncle Ai's existing people are 20. People. As for the elder uncle, he said that there are about 30 people in the village including his own children. The uncle will also come to help. Auntie will help cook with Auntie Zhang.

Ji Jiu had no problem with the number of people. He also said that he would give the aunts a salary of 20 baht per day for cooking. Making the elder uncle hurriedly refuse. But Ji Jiu was adamant and said that if she didn't accept her, she wouldn't let him come. So the elder uncle had to accept it and then go tell everyone.
Uncle Ai said that if 50 people help, it should take time to build wall 2. Not more than this day As for the time of building the house, including cutting wood and waiting for various materials, it should take no more than 20 minutes. Wan Ji Jiu calculated the wages and found that she had to pay a total of 3 taels and 600 baht. As for the food costs, let's talk about it.
Ji Jiu finished talking and told the pair to wait for her first. She would bring the deposit to Uncle Ai to buy materials first. The rest Uncle Ai could withdraw from her at any time. Her wages will be paid by Uncle Ai and Uncle Phu Yai on a daily basis. She gave all her wages to the couple. She is too lazy to find money to exchange. Anything that others could do, she took away first. Uncle Ai received a deposit of 35 taels for materials and another 2 taels worth of wages for 50 workers. Uncle Ai received 1 tael, 500 taels. Ji Jiu said that her scrap money was not enough, so she waited to enter. The district bought fresh food before she brought it to Uncle Yai for another 100 baht.
After handing out money and briefly discussing an appointment, Uncle Ai said that tomorrow he would take someone up the mountain to cut wood and prepare the fence first. Uncle Ai said that he would inform the villagers and sign their names so that it would be easier when paying the wages. Ji Jiu thanked the two uncles and sent them out of the house with a smile.
Today they didn't stay to eat lunch with her because they were in a hurry to take care of work for her first. Ji Jiu didn't hold them back. Aunt Qiao saw that Ji Jiu was finished talking and hurried over to help her clear the table. home chair and brought lunch for her to eat

Aunt Qiao listened to Ji Jiu and was shocked. She knew that Ji Jiu was giving double wages but didn't know that food was not included. But she didn't want to offend Ji Jiu so she could only say that she already knew. Aunt Qiao told Uncle Yu to watch over the house well. She and Ji Jiu would hurry and return. If Uncle Yu went with them, it would be late because she was still young. Ah Yu also knew that this was important. So she promised to take good care of the house.
After lunch, Ji Jiu went into the accounting room again. After paying part of the money, she had 97 taels left over. 58 Yi Pae collected the accounting books. Ji Jiu went out to talk to Aunt Qiao about the menu. Aunt Qiao suggested that Usually I just make steamed buns with stir-fried vegetables or curry. Ji Jiu disagrees. She said that the workers had to do the work for her so that everything could be finished quickly. So she wanted the food to be steamed rice. Stir-fried vegetables with pork or chicken Pork curry or chicken curry Every day, if the pot at home and the small stove go I'll buy it tomorrow. As for the bowls, the elder uncle and aunt should have told the villagers to bring them as well. She would gradually buy more and keep a reserve of ten sets.
Aunt Qiao listened to Ji Jiu's thoughts and could only follow along. She suggested that it would be more convenient to buy a separate stove from the kitchen to cook outside. Ji Jiu immediately agreed. Including the matter of three large pots for cooking rice. Add curry and stir-fried vegetables for workers to easily scoop out and eat. If the pan is too small, buy it and use it. After all, these things must be used. Plus it can be used for a long time. If villagers want to borrow her, they are happy.
Aunt Qiao also told her not to worry. Tomorrow, she definitely won't forget the necessities. Ji Jiu finally trusted him. As for the money? She had no problems at all. As long as everything turns out well, she will be happy. Ji Jiu wants.
Stay in your new home quickly after you've been poor for so long.
