At this time, Xia Changxing called out to Xia Zixuan, "Xuan girl, Master Zhou is here. There is no one at your house, so I brought them here."

"Uncle Changxing, thank you! Master Zhou, I'm sorry! I made you miss the opportunity."

After expressing her gratitude, Xia Zixuan and Xia Changxing apologized to Master Zhou because she was only focused on this side and forgot about Master Zhou and the others.

Master Zhou waved his hand nonchalantly, "No problem, we'll find out after we ask other people."

Master Zhou looked at such a large piece of land and asked, "Miss Xia, where do you want to build the house? Just tell me a place and we'll start digging the foundation."

Xia Zixuan took out the blueprint and pointed it to Master Zhou. She said, "Master Zhou, you guys go from this side all the way to that side, and then leave a five-meter-wide road on the north side where it connects to the mountain for carriages to pass. There will be a small square and two pavilions built at the gate."

"Okay, Miss Xia, I understand. I'll ask you if there's anything unclear to you," Master Zhou said as he put the drawings away carefully.

While talking to Master Zhou, the village chief came over with fifty or sixty people. "Xuan girl, the village chief is bringing people to you. Do you think these people are okay?" The village chief asked her to look at the villagers following him.

Xia Zixuan looked at this group of people. In her memory, most of them were people the original owner's father had come into contact with. Even if she had not met them before, since the village chief brought them here, they must be good people.

She said happily: "Sure, thank you, Grandpa Village Chief, these people are almost there."

"This is Master Zhou. From now on, everyone will follow his instructions." Xia Zixuan pointed at Master Zhou and introduced him.

Liu Fugui took the lead and said, "Okay, Xuan girl, we got it. We promise to build a house for you."

"Yes, don't worry, Xuan girl!"

"Okay, thank you all. Just listen to Master Zhou's arrangements first!" After saying that, Xia Zixuan handed the final say to Master Zhou. After all, she didn't know much about building a house, so it was better to leave it to a professional.

"Everyone follow me, let's go dig the foundation first, everyone come in groups of ten."

Master Zhou brought the people over and met up with his people, then they discussed how to divide the work.

When the groundbreaking ceremony began, the sound of firecrackers rang out. She was really going to have a house of her own.

After another half an hour, another team of Master Zhou came over pulling bricks and tiles. After they unloaded the bricks and tiles, it was time to eat.

Wang said that it was time to eat, and everyone took their bowls and lined up.

It was mainly Master Zhou and his colleagues who took the lead. Each person was given a bowl of porridge, two steamed buns and two kinds of meat dishes. If the steamed buns were not enough, they could take some for themselves. They would definitely be full.

A worker who came with Master Zhou said in surprise: "This meal is too rich! There are even two meat dishes."

Another one echoed, "Yeah! How could we have such good food when we worked for others before!"

They all talked about their previous work experiences, "Yes! Sometimes we even ate the dry food we brought with us."

Master Zhou also smiled and said, "Miss Xia, your food is so delicious. Thank you on behalf of everyone."

"Master Zhou, you are too polite. This is just the first meal of the day. The rest won't be as good, but we will still be full."

Master Zhou disagreed and said: "That's great too." They had never eaten such delicious food when they built houses for others before!

They thought there were only porridge and steamed bread, but they didn't expect to see a meat dish and a vegetable dish at lunch.

Then Master Zhou looked at everyone seriously and said, "Everyone, have you seen such delicious food? This is because Miss Xia is worried that we will get sick from working too hard and not eating well."

"And this mung bean soup, do you think there is any boss like Miss Xia? So everyone should work hard and don't let Miss Xia down. Do you understand?"

The people who came with Master Zhou said, "Don't worry, Boss! We promise to build a beautiful house for Miss Xia."

Another person said, "That's right! Boss, don't you know who we are? Don't worry! We will complete the mission."

The villagers followed suit and said, "We will also build a house for Xuan."

It seems that we still need to find a few more people to help with cooking, otherwise Aunt Wang and the other three will be too slow. They have to wash the vegetables, cut them, cook, and boil the pot. These few people are simply not enough, and she can't come to help every day!

"Aunts and sisters-in-law, do you know any other people who are good at cooking? I want to find a few people to help you cook. Otherwise, you won't be able to handle it for a long time, and you will have to do the work of several people by yourself."

"Yes, Xuan, how many people do you want? We'll go get them after dinner."

Xia Zixuan held the food Aunt Wang handed to her and said, "Well! Find three more people to light the fire and three more to wash and cut the vegetables, so that'll be six people!"

"Okay, don't worry! After they have finished their meal, we will go find someone."

After the meal, everyone rested for an hour and then started working again in full swing. Xia Zixuan asked Aunt Wang and the others to boil two pots of mung bean water as the weather was hot to prevent anyone from getting heatstroke. Seeing that there was nothing to worry about, she went home.
