Fast through the cannon fodder, she shines brightly

Chapter 273 Widow (28)

Mu Wan's eyes brightened. The large pieces of embroidery were very valuable, not to mention the makeup for our ladies. For such a happy event, those rich people would be more generous in adding joy. This time in town, there was such a surprise.

"Miss Boss, may I ask, what is the price given by Miss Hu?"

The proprietress lowered her voice, with a smile on her face, and said with one finger, "It's a full 100 taels. We can each share 50 taels."

Mu Wan thought about it for a while, and realized that this amount of money was quite a lot in the town. In the village, it was an average person's five years' savings. The landlady needed her skills, and she also needed the landlady, the person in the middle, so sharing it equally sounded good. It seemed like she was at a loss, but this was also a free publicity opportunity. As long as the lady was satisfied, more business would naturally come to her doorstep.

Mu Wan quickly agreed, and the proprietress trotted to the inner room to get the fabric, carefully wrapped her fingers in a layer of protective fabric, and reminded: "This is the fabric Miss Hu bought from Fucheng, you have to be careful not to damage it No, neither of us can afford it."

Mu Wan reached out to take it and put it in the basket, "Madam, I know, this is a precious material, I will cherish it."

After she walked out of Xiuzhuang, she turned to another street. She wanted to repair the house at home, but she had to order tiles first. The yard was muddy, and once it rained, it would be wet. The mud was everywhere, and it was easy to stain the shoes. , it is not convenient to go out, she also wants to buy blue bricks, and post a path.

Bricks and tiles are more expensive than meat. According to her budget, it will cost four taels of silver at a time. Plus the labor and food expenses, the total cost is almost six taels.

She paid a deposit, and the bricks and tiles would be delivered to the village tomorrow, and her small coffers were cut in half in an instant.

As soon as she got back to the village, she took a bag of pastries to the village chief’s house, and asked the village chief to help find a few reliable men and women. The men would repair her house, and the woman would cook for her in the kitchen. She was busy But for those who come here, the wages for repairing the house are 35 Wen a day, cooking is [-] Wen a day, and the lunch is full, so the workload is not heavy. The main thing is that she also wants to repair her courtyard wall, which should be able to be done in two days. All done.

The salary she offered was not low. It was autumn and there was not much farm work in the field. After the news was released, she could find suitable candidates immediately.

Everyone gossiped curiously, saying that Fang Xiaowan has been really generous recently. Not only did he wear new clothes, he was able to eat fish and meat, but now he also repaired the house. What happened to the leaking rain in the house? They needed to build tile-roofed houses, but many people in the village still lived in thatched houses. Life at Fang Xiaowan's family suddenly became easier, which made them both envious and a little unbalanced.

But even though everyone felt a little gloomy in their hearts, they still had to smile and say something nice.

Early in the morning, the bricks and tiles were pulled into the village, and the villagers gathered at the door of Mu Wan's house to watch the excitement. They suddenly stared wide-eyed. They must be green bricks. Although there are only about ten pieces, they are enough to surprise them. Xiaowan's family actually used blue bricks, what a prodigal woman, blue bricks are so expensive, even more expensive than meat, how can ordinary people be willing, Fang Xiaowan is so extravagant.

Mu Wan settled the deposit, and as soon as the bullock cart left, those gossiping people immediately started talking, "Xiao Wan, your family is having a hard time, don't use up all your money just to save face."

"What kind of green bricks are you buying? Isn't it a waste of money? If you have that money, you might as well save it up."

"You've used up all your money now, and you won't be able to guarantee anything in the future."

"Living life requires careful planning, how can I stand such a prodigal family."

Regardless of whether they were well intentioned or casually complaining, Mu Wan dealt with it in a few words. Seeing that their interest was not diminished, she found an excuse to close the courtyard door.
