Chapter 231 Do as She Wants
Chapter 231 Do as She Wants
Wang Da didn't dare to think too much about such a good thing.
But Xia Chan's subsequent words confirmed Wang Da's thoughts.
"Why? You forgot."
"No, Third Madam..."
He lowered his head and spoke respectfully, telling Xia Chan everything he would need to open a blacksmith shop.
Blacksmithing is indeed his forte. When he talks about it, he sounds very logical and professional.
Xia Chan listened carefully.
After listening, she nodded.
"Can you write?"
"what?"
Wang Da's thoughts were not able to catch up with Xia Chan so quickly. "Madam, what do you mean by this?"
"Put together what you just said, write it down on a piece of paper and give it to me. I will prepare everything you need. You just need to do your job well."
"Madam, do you mean to say that you want to open a blacksmith shop?"
Wang Da finally plucked up the courage to ask the question he had always wanted to ask.
Xia Chan raised her eyebrows slightly, "I'll drive, but you're the boss."
"Ah, what does this mean?"
Wang Da still didn't understand. "Madam San, are you going to open a blacksmith shop here? It's just us..."
With such a small number of people, can you sell the products in a blacksmith shop?
Wang Da was puzzled.
But that's not what he needs to think about.
Xia Chan only needs him to have this skill.
As for the rest, that was something she had to think about.
After leaving Wang's house, Xia Chan went to several other families and asked them, as usual, what they did before fleeing here.
Some of them used to run cloth shops, while others were originally farmers who had been cultivating and taking care of the land.
After Xia Chan asked around, he had an idea in his mind.
She nodded and went back home.
"Sister-in-law, what are we going to do next?"
Xie Yunying followed Xia Chan and was extremely envious when she saw how calm Xia Chan was when he talked to others.
My sister-in-law is obviously very young, but she speaks and acts like my grandmother.
This is not an act, but he is really that calm and convincing.
Unlike her, even if she wants to look scary sometimes, she always feels like a child playing an adult, without any dignity at all.
Xia Chan saw what Xie Yunying was thinking and said with a smile, "You will understand when you have more experience."
As for what to do next?
The purpose is of course to see how many people are willing to live here.
Xia Chan returned home and explained the situation to Xie Lin. Xie Lin also told her that some people would come over.
"Then let's plan out the land outside. How will this person live? Where should we build a house? Let's prepare in advance."
Since we want to develop and expand this place, it is naturally impossible to do so without any planning.
Xia Chan wanted to build a city, but it was naturally not as big as Chang'an.
The city’s population is about a few thousand or tens of thousands.
But at present, they only have dozens of people, and it will still take some time to reach thousands or tens of thousands.
But take it slow.
As long as you have time, you don't have to worry about these problems.
Xie Lin unconditionally supports her decision.
Starting from the next day, the men of the Xie family took the drawings drawn by Xia Chan and replanned the construction of houses on this piece of land.
Houses should be built in a concentrated area, and fields for growing crops should be placed farther away from the houses.
There is also a very wide area on the other side of the river. As long as we can build a bridge to the other side, planting crops on the other side would be a very good choice.
As for the land they had reclaimed before, they marked out a large piece to build houses.
This house must have been built by the people who moved here.
Xia Chan and the others can only provide some materials at most.
Speaking of materials, Xia Chan had to take out the gold, silver, jewelry, and food in his space and find a place to hide them.
She had to use the space to move bricks and tiles.
After telling Xie Lin about his plan, Xie Lin took his eldest brother, second brother, Xie Wenhao, Xie Wenjun and others to dig another basement at home.
The basement was large and deep, and it took a full month to complete.
Then let Xia Chan store her things.
The entrance to the basement is Xia Chan and his friends’ room.
A very hidden and inconspicuous entrance.
While they were working, Xie Chang, Xie Yuan and others never asked Xie Lin why he wanted to dig the basement.
In short, it is impossible for the third brother to harm them.
Several adult men worked hard and built a large basement in a month.
But even so, the things in Xia Chan's space still filled up the basement, leaving only a path for people to walk through.
Then she paid attention to the space and found that there were still a lot of gold, silver and jewelry in it.
Xia Chan thought about it and went to the yard of her eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law and mother-in-law.
Each of them was given a carriage full of gold, silver and jewelry.
Mrs. Xie, Mrs. Xie II, and Mrs. Xie Su couldn't help but stare wide-eyed when they saw the glittering gold, silver, and jewelry.
"Brother and sister, what's going on?"
Mrs. Xie asked.
"Sister-in-law, keep these things for when Hao'er gets married, or when Bo'er and his friends get married, you can use them for emergencies."
This is what Xia Chan said to Mrs. Xie.
I said the same thing to my second sister-in-law.
This is not for the adults, but for her nephews and nieces as an aunt. When they grow up and need the money, they can take it out and use it.
As for the things given to Xie Su, they were left to her two sisters-in-law as dowries.
Of course, this share was paid by Xie Su, the biological mother. As for the sisters-in-law, they would add a dowry to their sister-in-law when the time comes.
Although they have moved here, if the two sisters-in-law find someone suitable in the future, she will definitely let them marry off in a grand manner.
Xie Yunying and Xie Yunyao, who were suddenly mentioned, buried their faces in their mother's arms shyly.
"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about?"
Both girls were shy.
Xia Chan was amused by them.
Amidst laughter and joy, they welcomed the New Year once again.
My second New Year in these mountains.
It’s the New Year, and the whole house is filled with joy.
Early in the morning, Xie Su asked Xie Lin and his brothers to deliver some white flour buns to the residents outside.
It’s the New Year, and their family has enough food, so they can just make some steamed buns and give them to those people.
Xie Lin agreed, and together with Xie Wenhao and Xie Wenjun, each of them carried two baskets, each of which contained twenty-eight white flour buns.
"Xie Wenhao."
When they were leaving, Wei Hua just got up. She saw Xie Wenhao and ran over calling his name regardless of anything.
"Want to go out and play? I want to go too."
Wei Hua has lived here with the Xie family for a month, but her personality remains the same, with no change.
