I Open a Restaurant in another World

Chapter 44 Repairs

Song Yanqing counted out another two hundred coins as he was told.

Luckily, he brought back all the income from the restaurant today, more than three taels and nearly four taels, otherwise the copper coins he saved this afternoon would not be enough.

He thought that he should save more money outside next time. After building the woodshed, he would have to buy charcoal and firewood, and prepare winter clothes and shoes for the two of them. Everything would cost money.

When the two of them went there, the He family had just finished their meal.

"I was just about to go find you." Uncle He put down his water cup and asked, "You still use blue bricks for your woodshed?"

"Yeah." Zhang Beiting nodded.

The house they live in now and the kitchen are both made of blue bricks. Using mud bricks for the woodshed alone would not save much money, and it would not look good.

He took the copper coins from Song Yanqing and put them on the table. "Here are 1,200 coins in total. I'd like to trouble you to buy the materials."

He Qingsong said, "I saw it in your backyard before. Although the pig and chicken pens collapsed, there are still many tiles that are not broken. They can be used after cleaning. In addition, 700 to 800 coins are enough to buy materials."

Zhang Beiting: "We plan to repair the chicken coop together and pick up the tiles of the house again."

"That's enough." He Qingsong said.

Zhang Beiting and Song Yanqing only raised those chickens. It is estimated that they will not raise more in the future. The chicken coop only needs to be built with a length and width of four or five feet, and there is also a wall that is shared with the pig pen, so it doesn't take much material.

But it's better to have extra money than to ask Zhang Beiting again when he doesn't have enough money later.

He smiled and said, "I will return the extra money to you when the time comes."

"The extra money will be calculated as wages when the time comes." Zhang Beiting said.

The He family father and son had to go outside the city to collect vegetables in the afternoon, so they couldn't work all day, and it was not easy to pay them by the day, so they could only count it as the money for contracting all the work.

After negotiating the wages, Zhang Beiting said again: "Uncle He and Brother Feng will have to trouble Aunt to make lunch for them."

He and Song Yanqing must have lunch in the restaurant. It is easy to make two more meals in the restaurant, but whether they send the meals back or He Qingsong and He Feng go to eat, it will delay time.

The He family is next door, so it is convenient for them to go back to their own home for dinner.

Just pay more wages when the time comes. Many employers who are not convenient to cook for themselves do this.

"These are all trivial matters," He Qingsong stood up and said, "He Hai, take the lantern and go to Old Zheng's house with me to ask them to send the bricks and tiles as soon as possible."

Zhang Beiting said: "It's getting late, why don't we go tomorrow?"

There was no electric light in this era, and it was very inconvenient to do things at night with only oil lamps and candles.

"Old Zheng, who sells bricks and stones, lives not far away. It won't take long to go back and forth," He Qingsong said. "His bricks and stones are all outside the city. I told him tonight that they can be brought in tomorrow morning. If we go tomorrow, we'll have to wait until the day after tomorrow."
