When the discussion has been agreed upon, Uncle Kang and Kang Jie rushed to the district to order tiles. Including purchasing a large amount of additional supplies. If there is not enough, they will continue on to the provincial city. Ji Jiu had Uncle Kang order the people at the provision shop and the tile shop to deliver the items to the village front yard. The village headman who listened to Ji Jiu ordering her people could only feel grateful for the villagers. She is still very young. But to help everyone to this extent, the villagers themselves almost cried as they listened to Ji Jiu's thoughtless orders. They clearly heard Ji Jiu ordering them to buy them all. No matter how much, she feared that the tiles would not be enough to replace the remaining ten households. Even the village headman said it should be enough to live in. Because each house was not very large, one house would probably only use less than fifty tiles at most.
Ji Jiu listened to the elder uncle and then let Uncle Kang hurry on his way. We will be able to start replacing the tiles before the snow falls again. As for the rest of the villagers Ji Jiu had her men hand out medicine and drink hot ginger water first, then told them to gather the necessary things and bedding to go to her house later, so that she could take them to prepare a resting area in the basement. Finished replacing the roof, then returned to the house for safety.
None of the villagers dared to disobey Ji Jiu's good wishes. They promised to prepare things for the evening. and their provisions will be taken with them. There was no transport, so Ji Jiu ordered someone to bring another rickshaw along with a cart. Everything at home that could be carried was brought to help the villagers carry things. Many men in the house immediately returned to bring various cars according to her orders.
A Yu walked out and reported to Ji Jiu about Aunt He's illness. She said that she had boiled some medicine for Aunt He to eat and had let her rest. Waiting another two days to take the medicine, he should be fine. Gui Hua had already arranged medicine for Aunt He in another two days. Ji Jiu nodded and accepted Uncle Yu's words. She was not in a hurry to return to the house yet. Now she waits for the shops to deliver the goods before going home to prepare places for the villagers later. However, they still had to help transport the tiles to each household's house first.
Half an hour later The tile carts slowly came to a stop in the village square. The male villagers helped unload them and count the number equally for each household. Ji Jiu discovered that Butler Kang had ordered a total of 700 tiles. He probably had some left over. Ji Jiu smiled with satisfaction that he truly knew her. As for the supply convoy that followed, Ji Jiu had Aunt Qiao and General Duan's bodyguard lead the way to her house to collect supplies first. If there was no room in the warehouse, Place it in front of her house first. Then continue to find storage.
Ji Jiu looked at everyone working with a small smile. She didn't waste any energy she put in helping them. Everyone helps each other. No one was lazy in the slightest, until everything in the village square had already been moved. Ji Jiu then took the people back home to prepare the basement for the villagers who were packing things into carts at her house.
Ji Jiu thought that Butler Kang should probably go to County Town to buy more supplies. She looked at the supplies that had arrived this time, probably only lasting for a month. It was good that he was as careful as she expected. She thought that in another two days, father and son would probably return. She hoped that the road would not be too difficult on the day they returned. Otherwise, she would have to send her brothers to look after them.
When they reached the front of the warehouse, Ji Jiu looked at the pile of supplies that were almost overflowing. She moved the entrance to the basement open and left it open to allow ventilation. However, the weather in the warehouse wasn't too cold. Ji Jiu had someone find stoves for some villagers in the basement. She wasn't sure if it would be very cold at night. It's best to prepare first. As for the coals, they were already in the warehouse. They can use it at their convenience . She didn't think of holding back on these things.
A little before dinner time The villagers slowly came out with their belongings. Ji Jiu had them prepare beds in the basement before coming out to eat. Aunt Qiao, Aunt Li and a few other female villagers had already been helping them cook for a while. Fortunately, Aunt Qiao had just bought some food for this week's meal earlier, so she still had the ingredients to cook for many people. But tomorrow she would have to go to the district to buy some more first. Her young lady gave it to the people. Came to send two whole pigs that had been butchered. It must have been butler Kang who ordered it. So they delivered it in the evening. She already knew that the young lady would have her smoke it and save it to eat later. So they rushed to prepare today's dinner first. So that we can take care of the smoking of this pork.
Ji Jiu watched as the villagers helped to arrange each family's beds in an orderly manner. She was quite satisfied that they were not fighting over each other. Instead, they helped each other very well, and also made a walkway for them to be able to walk in and out easily. About the bathroom in that room Ji Jiu also told them to go to her house. In the kitchen she had a shower room and toilet. If you want to enter another house, you can as well. Every house has the same shower room and toilet. The villagers responded to Chi Jiu's words. But they probably wouldn't dare go into her house. They would rather go and ask to enter Aunt Qiao and Aunt Li's house.
After taking care of the villagers for a while, Ji Jiu walked back to the house to wait to eat dinner that Aunt Qiao must have had someone deliver to her. And as she thought, there was already a tray of food still smoking on the dining table in her house. Ji Jiu sat down and ate comfortably. Now she was a little relieved to see that the villagers had agreed to stay at her house. Tomorrow, some of them would probably go help change the tiles and clear the snow. She didn't know how heavy the snow would be tonight. Luckily, at Uncle Phuyai's house, the tiles had just been replaced shortly after her house was built. Otherwise, she would probably I'm definitely more worried about them.
