17: Hiring someone to build a house
. In this way, Li Xuan spent a whole night to cultivate more than 3,000 breadgrasses and more than 20,000 large loaves of bread before he used up a drop of green spiritual liquid.
He harvested a whole empty dark bead of bread.
The three cubic meters of space were filled to the brim, and the empty dark bead was running out of space.
"Finally, I have used up the drop of green spiritual liquid yesterday. The growth cycle of this breadgrass is too short. I can't eat all the large loaves I cultivated by myself. It seems that I have to find a way to send these large loaves out." Li Xuan stared at the two dark circles under his eyes and said helplessly, then found a corner in the yard and prepared to go to bed. After all, he had been up all night, and sleepiness came over him. Nothing could stop Li Xuan from wanting to sleep.
Just when Li Xuan was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard a sound outside the door.
"Someone is coming?" Li Xuan opened his eyes and quickly got up from the ground.
"Brother Xuan, it's me, Bai Wen!" Bai Wen knocked on the door and shouted to the inside.
"Brother Bai Wen, what's up?" Li Xuan cheered up, stepped forward, opened the door, and welcomed Bai Wen into the yard.
As soon as he entered the yard, Bai Wen saw the collapsed thatched house and was stunned.
"Brother Bai Wen, the house collapsed accidentally at noon yesterday. Is there anyone here who can repair the thatched house?" Li Xuan scratched his head and asked Bai Wen.
"I know a few people who can repair the house, but if I want to ask them for help, the price will be quite high." Bai Wen pondered for a moment, then said to Li Xuan.
"That's not a problem, Brother Bai Wen, what kind of wages do they usually need?" Li Xuan asked Bai Wen.
"We usually use work instead of remuneration." Bai Wen spread his hands and said helplessly.
In the sea of flowers, there is basically no communication with the outside world, so currency has no value here. The only thing that is useful is working for others.
"If I have enough food, can I use it as a substitute for the wages of the workers?" Li Xuan suddenly thought of the large bread in the Kongming Pearl, and then asked Bai Wen.
"Of course I can! Food is too precious in the sea of flowers. The food distributed by the canteen every day can keep us from starving to death. Want to eat enough? It's like a dream. If you have food, I can let them all come to work for you!" Bai Wen said to Li Xuan excitedly.
Indeed, the food in the canteen every day is indeed difficult to fill an adult's stomach, and can only ensure that the flower slaves do not die.
"Brother Bai Wen, I will take care of your three meals a day. Can you help me move the seedlings these two days?" Li Xuan asked Bai Wen.
"Of course I can! I also know that there is a person in the sea of flowers who has a cart. I will borrow the cart, and it will be faster when the time comes." Bai Wen said to Li Xuan excitedly.
"That's great, Brother Bai Wen, you go and borrow the cart, tell him, one day of lending will give him one day of food." Li Xuan said without hesitation. After all, Bai Wen is working for himself now, and he can't let Bai Wen lose money.
"I'll contact them right away!" Bai Wen immediately set out to borrow a car.
"Don't worry, Brother Bai Wen, I still have something for you to do." Li Xuan stopped the hurried Bai Wen and said with a smile.
"What else is there? Brother Xuan!" Bai Wen could no longer hold back the urge to eat and drink.
"Help me contact those bricklayers. I want to rebuild the house. Also, they will provide me with food." Li Xuan shrugged and said to Bai Wen.
"Anything else?" Bai Wen asked again worriedly.
"No, go ahead." Li Xuan smiled and waved his hand.
"Okay!" Bai Wen rushed out of his yard after saying that.
Looking at Bai Wen's back, he shook his head helplessly. After eating a clean white steamed bun, Li Xuan started today's work.
But there are still 600 flower seedlings waiting for Li Xuan.
Li Xuan is now also full of energy. One by one, the flower seedlings are quickly transferred to the flower pots by Li Xuan, waiting to be sent away.
It was not until the sun was high in the sky that Li Xuan stopped and wiped the sweat off his face.
"It's time for lunch." Li Xuan smiled and took out a piece of meat floss bread from the Kongming Pearl. The black bread was for others to eat, and the other kinds of bread were left for Li Xuan to eat.
After all, Li Xuan was still growing.
Soon, a loaf of bread went into Li Xuan's stomach.
"Bang bang bang..."
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"Xuan brother, I'm back." Bai Wen stood outside the yard and said to Li Xuan.
"Come in." Li Xuan patted the bread crumbs on his body, then opened the door and prepared to welcome Bai Wen in.
But as soon as he opened the door, he saw four strong men behind Bai Wen.
"Xuan brother, these are the best bricklayers in Huahai. If you want to build a house, you can find them." Bai Wen pointed to the four strong men behind him and said.
The four strong men were nearly two meters tall, with muscular bodies and strong bodies. They looked like strong people.
"I am Liu Li, these three are my younger brothers. Our family is all bricklayers, and our skills are still very good." The oldest of the four people stepped forward, bowed to Li Xuan and said.
"Hello, Uncle Liu. I'll need to trouble you guys to build my house next." Li Xuan smiled and responded.
Then, Li Xuan welcomed the others into the yard.
Liu Li looked around and saw not only the collapsed house, but also the neatly placed flower pots in the yard. He was also shocked by the scene in front of him.
But it was only a shock.
"Second brother, third brother, fourth brother, help the young master clean up the ruins of the thatched house first." Liu Li said to the three people behind him.
"Uncle Liu, don't call me the young master, call me Xiao Xuan, or Brother Xuan." Li Xuan smiled and said.
"Then I won't be polite, Brother Xuan, I also want to ask, what kind of house do you need." Liu Li came in front of Li Xuan and asked Li Xuan with a silly smile.
"I want to build a brick house and a basement." Li Xuan said to Liu Li.
"Basement? Brick house? Brother Xuan, to be honest, this is a sea of flowers after all, and a brick house... is too eye-catching. Let's build a thatched house. I can help you compact it and it will be very sturdy. More importantly, we don't have bricks." Liu Li thought for a while, and then advised Li Xuan.
"As for the basement, we brothers can build it, but we don't have the materials. The materials needed for the basement need to have a certain strength, and we can't do it." Liu Li said to Li Xuan.
"I know someone who can burn bricks. His martial spirit is of fire attribute. Many people have bought bricks from him." Bai Wen suddenly interrupted.
"Brother Bai Wen, since this person exists, I'll trouble you, Brother Bai Wen, to buy a batch of bricks for me." Li Xuan said to Bai Wen with a smile.
"Okay, don't worry, Brother Xuan, I will definitely bargain for you!" Bai Wen patted his chest and said seriously.
"Uncle Liu, can you please calculate how many bricks are needed? Then let Brother Bai Wen go and buy them." Li Xuan said to Liu Li again.
"Okay, I'll go calculate it and explain it to Brother Bai Wen later." Liu Li stood up and left.
Li Xuan smiled and shook his head, then went to continue raising seedlings.
