After Mao Xiaosui decided how to draw the picture, the three of them planned to go to the town to take a look at the shops.

Zhao Hui went to call the owner of the shop, and Mao Xiaosui stopped by the clothing store.

Zhang Qing was the only one in the clothing store, and Mao Xiaosui saw the rabbit fur cloak hanging.

She asked casually, "How much does your cloak cost?"

"Twenty-five taels."

Mao Xiaosui was startled and asked, "Is anyone buying it?"

Zhang Qing was amused and took the cloak over to show her and said, "There are some, just not many, but they can be sold."

Mao Xiaosui took a closer look and found that the work was really good. He asked, "Is this made by you or a buddy?"

"I did it." Zhang Qing laughed. "The store is not busy and there are no waiters."

Hearing the commotion, the owner of the soap shop next to him also came out, holding a book in his hand as usual.

Zhang Qing glanced at him and introduced, "My brother Zhang Cheng."

Mao Xiaosui nodded. He had books in his hands during both meetings, so he asked, "Is there a teacher in the town?"

"Yes." Zhang Cheng said, "He is an old gentleman and he teaches calligraphy very well."

Mao Xiaosui raised his eyebrows, which meant it was not good.

It doesn't matter, as long as he can learn calligraphy, Li Ankang is not interested in getting fame anyway.

She thanked her and waited for a while before Zhao Hui came back with a tall and thin man.

As soon as they met, the man said to Li Yunshan, "I knew you had to come back. You must buy my shop. It's the best."

Li Yunshan didn't say anything until he opened the door of the shop and saw the whole scene inside.

Then he said to Mao Xiaosui, "There is a small yard behind the shop. There is a shed and a mud stove in the small yard."

Mao Xiaosui followed and took a look. The yard was very small, with a back door, a shed and stove, and a hut.

Mao Xiaosui asked Li Yunshan, "Have you ever seen another one? It's best to have a backyard, one where people can live."

Before Li Yunshan could say anything, the boss said, "The kind is more expensive. If you rent a yard in the town, it only costs a dozen taels a year. The rent for a shop with people in it costs upwards of 60 taels."

Li Yunshan nodded, "What he said is true."

Mao Xiaosui asked the boss, "How long has your shop been open?"

The boss shrank his neck and said reluctantly, "It's been half a year." Then he said, "Are you familiar with Qian Sheng and the others?"

She nodded and said to Li Yunshan, "Then it should still be there next year, and we will rent it next year as well."

The boss glared, "Are you kidding me?"

Mao Xiaosui laughed, "The main reason is that we can't move here this year, and renting is a waste of money."

"Then why are you tossing me over and over again!"

"Ask the price. You haven't rented it out for half a year. I can just rent it out next year."

The boss glanced at her sideways. He was unhappy but didn't curse. He just said, "Don't bother me if you don't buy it next time."

"Okay." Mao Xiaosui agreed happily.

Several people came out of the shop and planned to have some food. They had money in their pockets and didn't dare to spend it, so they only bought three bowls of noodles. When they were about to leave after eating, they saw Li Yunqiang and Li Yongqing coming from the other side of the street, pulling a car.

Li Yunqiang passed by with a sullen face, but Li Yongqing stopped and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Do something."

Li Yongqing asked, "What should we do?"

Li Yunshan didn't reply and said, "Li Yunqiang is gone."

Li Yongqing was not in a hurry and said, "Just leave." Then he asked, "What are you doing?"

Li Yunshan didn't reply. He said "Let's go first" and left.

Li Yongqing started to curse behind him, but the others ignored him.

I went to buy some salt and a jar of sesame oil and returned.

The door of the house was locked, and the two children had already finished the white flour pancakes and eggs left in the morning.

Li Yunshan emptied the night basin in the yard, and then went to feed the two pens in the backyard.

The bowl of noodles he had eaten along the way was also consumed. Mao Xiaosui scrambled a plate of eggs and baked a few pancakes.

After eating and taking a nap, the sun was already setting when I woke up.

Mao Xiaosui went to herd the mules, while Li Yunshan and Zhao Hui plowed the vegetable field.

After the mule ate for a while, Mao Xiaosui brought it back after the sun had set.

The rice was already simmering in the pot, so she went to plant the cabbage first.

After planting, I fried some beans and made soup.

She was not in a hurry to sleep at night, so she took out her pen and ink and started drawing.

Li Yunshan sat on the edge and said, "Zhao Hui and I will collect the firewood and put it out for the mud kang tomorrow. After finishing it, Zhao Hui has to go back. He wants to see the old bachelor."

Mao Xiaosui nodded, "Just find workers for the rest. He can come back if he wants. He is also a soft-hearted person."

She wasn't very good at using the brush, and she failed to draw a few pictures. She only drew a frame when she went to bed.

After eating in the morning and drying the food for a day, the two of them went up the mountain.

Mao Xiaosui took out the firewood and piled it into the firewood shed. After dithering for a while, it was getting late, so she stopped herding the mules and started drawing again.

After I realized that I couldn't use a brush very well, I simply sharpened a wooden tip and dipped it in ink to draw.

First there is the high fence, on which there must be some pointy wood to prevent theft, and then there is the circle.

In order to save work on the beams, Xiaosui created a courtyard style, leaving a large courtyard that does not cover the sky. Then some lawns can be moved to it, and the nest is equivalent to a house. The height of the house can be higher, so it is spacious. You can also take stairs to get a second floor.

Several acres of land were flattened, with an average of one row per acre, and a dozen or so yards were divided.

Li Yunshan and Zhao Hui came back halfway through the painting, bringing fish with them.

Mao Xiaosui put away the drawings and went to the kitchen to cook.

Li Yunshan killed the fish quickly, threw it into the basin and said, "Make fish soup."

To cook fish soup, you have to simmer rice. She went to wash and cut the beans that were dried in the yard, put some pieces of meat in, fried them, simmered the rice, and then cooked fish soup.

Li Yunshan was turning millet in the yard. She went to the main room and took out the drawings to show him.

Li Yunshan was relatively calm at first, but when he saw the drawings he was really shocked, his eyes almost became sticky, and he asked for a long time, "Did you really draw it?"

Mao Xiaosui smiled, "Otherwise, who painted it?"

She draws carefully, and anyone who knows something about this can figure out what to do at a glance.

Li Yunshan looked at it carefully again and murmured, "The painting is really good. Do you still know this?"

Mao Xiaosui blinked, "It's just a blind drawing. It's not finished yet. What do you think? I'm only responsible for drawing. The workers have to measure the distances themselves."

Li Yunshan nodded, "As long as you have a picture, leave the rest to them."

Mao Xiaosui felt relieved when he said it was okay. He carefully put the drawings back and helped turn over the grains.
