Su Yue said, "Ren Dong came back earlier and told me that there is a family in your village that can make saltpeter, so I thought about asking Uncle Liu to help me order another 1,000 kilograms."

When Honeysuckle's father Liu Shan heard that Su Yue wanted another 1,000 kilograms of saltpeter, his face was full of surprise, "Miss, didn't you already order 500 kilograms of saltpeter? Would it be too much to ask for another 1,000 kilograms of saltpeter?"

Su Yue shook her head: "Don't worry, Uncle Liu, just buy them. I have a use for all of them."

At this time, Ren Dong also interrupted and said, "Dad, don't ask too many questions. Let's just do what the girl asks."

Liu Shan's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. Did he make the girl unhappy by talking too much?

He hurriedly looked at Su Yue, but there was only an oil lamp in the room, so Su Yue's expression could not be clearly illuminated.

He had no choice but to nod his head repeatedly: "Okay, I will buy another 1,000 kilograms of saltpeter from Lao Qiantou tomorrow, but 1,000 kilograms will cost a lot of money."

Su Yue took out three thousand taels of silver and a house design drawing she had drawn from her pocket and gave them to Liu Shan.

"Uncle Liu, take these three thousand taels, and find me a place to build the house as shown in the blueprint. Well, this place also has certain requirements, it must be higher in terrain and be easy to defend and difficult to attack.

As soon as Su Yue finished speaking, there was a sound of gasps in the small adobe house. Did they hear it right? Three thousand taels! Three hundred taels made them panic, let alone three thousand taels.

Liu Shan was so frightened that his hands were shaking. He waved his hands and said, "Miss, this is too much money. I can't accept it. One thousand kilograms of saltpeter is only about one hundred taels at most."

Seeing that Liu Shan refused to accept them, Su Yue directly stuffed the three silver bills and the blueprint into Rendong's hands, indicating that Rendong should give them to her father.

"Uncle Liu, you have to accept this money even if you don't want to, because you haven't looked at the blueprints yet. The house I want to build is not an ordinary house. Can you see if it can be built first?"

Ren Dong took the banknote and the blueprint and quickly handed them to Liu Shan, still worriedly admonishing him, "Dad, you better be careful. This is what the girl worked all night to draw."

"Dad knows." Liu Shan said and stretched out his trembling hands to take it, looking at the banknote in his hand with some excitement.

He didn't suspect that the banknote was fake. It was just that in his entire life, this was the first time he had seen a banknote worth one thousand taels. Even though it was not his own money, he couldn't help but feel excited when he held it in his hand.

Seeing Liu Shan turning the banknote over and over to examine it, Su Yue became nervous. Why did Ren Dong's father spend so much time looking at the banknote? Could it be fake? !

It was also her first time to come into contact with large-denomination silver bills from the world of the book, and she had no idea whether they were real or fake.

If the banknotes that her scumbag father gave her were fake, she would go back and drag her scumbag father into the space, break his legs, and then confiscate the entire Su Mansion.

When Liu Shan had seen enough, he handed the three thousand taels of silver to Ren Dong's mother and said, "Mother, you must keep this money well."

It was the first time for Rendong Niang to take so much money, and she was also afraid. She first looked at Su Yue, and when she saw Su Yue smiling and nodding, she mustered up the courage to take the banknote.

He then folded the banknote and put it in his pocket over his chest, pressing it hard. His expression looked serious and tense.

Seeing this, Su Yue wondered for a moment if she was putting too much pressure on Rendong's family?

Liu Shan opened the drawing and looked at it carefully under the dim light of the oil lamp. He had attended a private school for a few years, so he could understand the fonts that Su Yue had marked on the drawings.

But the more Liu Shan looked, the wider his eyes opened, and his mouth opened slightly, his face full of disbelief. "Girl, this... I've never seen a house like this before. This is really unusual. Not only is the construction volume huge, but the requirements are also quite high."

Upon hearing this, Liu Danan came over curiously. After seeing it, she had a puzzled look in her eyes. "Girl, why did you build this house so high and in a round shape? It must take up quite a lot of space."

Liu Shan also asked curiously: "Miss, where did you get this blueprint? Could it be that our Yunlin country has such a house?"

Honeysuckle couldn't help but stamp her feet. "Dad, big brother, why are you asking again? Didn't I tell you not to ask too much?"

Liu Shan looked embarrassed and immediately apologized to Su Yue: "Miss, I'm sorry, my family has always been in this business. Suddenly seeing such a strange house, I couldn't help but be curious."

Su Yue naturally would not tell the truth. This was imitated from the appearance of a modern Hakka walled tower.

She smiled and said, "Uncle Liu, it's okay. This blueprint was given to me by an old friend who likes to travel around. He said that this kind of building can only be found in a country far away from Yunlin Country.

I think it is great and want to build it, and I hope Uncle Liu can find a way to help me realize it. Of course, if Uncle Liu can't do it, it doesn't matter, I won't force it. "

Liu Danan pulled Liu Shan aside and reminded him quietly: "Dad, you better think carefully, we have never built such a strange high-rise building.

"My eldest sister's master is the daughter of a minister. If we don't do well, will it bring trouble to my eldest sister in the future?"

After hearing what his son said, Liu Shan frowned and fell into deep thought. He felt that what Liu Danan said made some sense, but Su Yue was his lifesaver, and now that his benefactor entrusted him with something, how could he not do it.

After a while, he seemed to have made up his mind. He turned back to Su Yue and said, "Girl, since you trust me so much, I, Old Liu, will definitely do it for you even if it costs me my old bones. But it will take a lot of effort to find craftsmen and buy materials."

Su Yue showed a relieved smile on her face and said, "Thank you very much, Uncle Liu. Anyway, you have full authority over this matter. Just do it according to my standards. If there is not enough money or a problem with materials, you can find Uncle Song. Uncle Song will do his best to help you."

Song Mingtao, who had been silent the whole time, heard Su Yue say this and immediately said, "Yes, Brother Liu, if you have any problems that you can't solve in the future, come to Yuxuan Pawn Shop in the city to find me."

After Song Mingtao finished speaking, he turned to Su Yue and explained, "I forgot to tell you, young lady. Since you want to sell all your shops, I'll drive away the owner and clerks of Yuxuan Pawnshop, and notify the pawnbrokers to come and take away the items."

Su Yue was not interested in these things and did not understand them. Anyway, she just wanted to sell the shops, so she nodded: "Okay, I understand."

Liu Shan got the assurance from Su Yue and Song Mingtao, and felt more at ease. Looking at the house styles in the blueprint, he suddenly remembered that there was a place that must be particularly suitable.

"Girl, there used to be mountains behind our village, but after crossing a mountain, there is a valley that is quite high.

I don't know whether that place is easy to defend and difficult to attack. I only know that the place is large enough and the terrain is high, and there are many precious medicinal herbs and woods growing around it.

In the past two years, many people have come here to collect herbs. Those in our village who know about pharmacology have also collected herbs, made money and moved to the city. People like us who don’t know about pharmacology can only watch others make money. ”
