Dressed as a villain's stepmother, I use spiritual springs to raise cubs

The bricks and tiles on the car are neatly stacked, but these are not the red bricks commonly used in modern times, but dusty black bricks made of stone and gray water. The tiles are also the simplest style.

As for the house beams and other things, Lai Bricklayer didn't bring them here, and he probably didn't expect that the house collapsed from the beginning to the end.

"The bricks and stones are of the highest quality. The walls of the government office in Qingshan Town are made of these bricks."

"And these tiles, you can look carefully, they are all of the best quality, if you pick them up and touch them, they are all brittle."

Mason Lai spoke after her.

Xia Bai'an nodded, but he just copied two bricks from them, weighed them in his hands, and suddenly stopped in his tracks: "Bricklayer, why don't you look at these bricks again?"

As she spoke, she threw the brick into the arms of the mason.

Carpenter Lai took the stone bricks to his chest, weighed them, his palms were sweating, but he smiled: "What's wrong with this brick?"

"Ming people don't speak secretly."

Xia Bai'an said that she thought that she traveled with her mentor in the past. Although the main purpose was to advance the medical career, she also encountered many ironic things on the way, and she had heard a little about bricks and stones.

"When I approached you before, I only said that it was repairing the wall and tiles. It stands to reason that you don't need bricks to repair the wall, but muddy water."

"This... isn't this the brick that I brought just in case?"

When Lai Wajiang looked at Xia Bai'an's eyes, he felt that those eyes were too cold, as if he wanted to tear someone's disguise. Although he was a little older, he still felt a little terrified when he saw such eyes.

Xia Bai'an sneered: "But this brick is hard and not tough enough. It is definitely not a good brick for laying a wall, but it is a good stone for laying a foundation. It is a good stone buried in the roots of the soil. points, am I right?"

"right……"

"Crafter Lai, you are a good hand at building houses, but you are not a priest who can predict the future."

As Xia Bai'an said, he approached step by step, and smiled into the eyes of Lai Bricklayer, "You have been in the future before, how can you conclude that there must be a problem with the foundation of my house today? It is expensive and heavy, and it is only suitable for you. What about the bricks and stones for the foundation? Or, no matter what my house looks like, you are going to propose to rebuild it from the foundation? Are you doing a deceitful business?"

All of a sudden, a quiet needle drop could be heard in the courtyard.

Mason Lai's face changed again and again, and finally he burst out laughing.

"You really deserve to be Mrs. Mo's! Since you have seen it, I can't hide it anymore."

"I did inquire about the condition of your house before, so I wanted to make a fortune. After the rainstorm, I will take a gamble to see if your house will collapse. Now, look, I am betting right."

Carpenter Lai smiled and sat down on the bricks on the car, took out another cigarette stick and stared at Xia Bai'an with a half-smile, "But I leave my words here. You can't find them in eight villages around ten miles away." Find a second mason who is better than me, and I can take people away today, but tomorrow, there will be a more wicked mason, let's see how you choose Madam."

Xia Bai'an was speechless.

Isn't this a monopoly!

No wonder he wasn't afraid when his hypocritical skin was punctured.

But she didn't ignore the slightly trembling tobacco rod in Lai's hand.

Now that Carpenter Lai has admitted it and thinks he has the chance to win, what is he worried about?

She thought for a moment, and then glanced at the tall and burly people. Finally, she returned to Carpenter Lai and deliberately lowered her voice.

"It must have taken you a lot of effort to bring so many people to a small village."

The cigarette rod shook violently.

Xia Bai'an said again: "If the people of Qingshan Town know that you were spotted by the people of the little Yunmai Village and you were sent back, I'm afraid you won't be able to save face."

The cigarette rod finally stopped shaking.

Carpenter Lai brushed off the cigarette stick with a sullen face, and put it back on his belt: "Mrs. Mo, it's not a good thing to be too smart."

Xia Bai'an smiled lightly.

As she said, feudalism bound women as well as men.

In the same way, the deep-rooted discrimination discriminates against the people of Yunmai Village. They are not a village with a big family, and they are even more poor.

And if Carpenter Lai came here, the people in Yunmai Village saw that the bricks and stones were wrong, and the order was returned in front of seven or eight of his subordinates, and he returned to Qingshan Town. They would ridicule him for being stupid in doing things, and even mock him for being dishonest in business.

At that time, the one who will be discriminated against will be the bricklayer who lost to Yunmai Village.

The two looked at each other for a long time, but it was Xia Bai'an who smiled first and said, "Mo Xue, Mo Yu, go and pour some water for the brothers, you can use a bowl or a teacup."

Carpenter Lai frowned: "What do you mean?"

"I see that Bricklayer Lai is also a smart person. Why don't we take a step back and don't bring things with you. I'm willing to add the right amount of money to make this deal, how about it?"

Xia Bai'an said, and then patted the bricks and tiles behind him, "That's right, you have to pick out some of the hollow bricks for me first."

Lai Majiang's complexion was suddenly overcast.

"Mrs. Mo's...Your eyesight is very good. I have been in business for so many years, and I have never suffered from anyone outside Qingshan Town."

"Carpenter Lai, I still have something to say."

Xia Bai'an showed his white teeth with a smile, "Tell me, if the yamen in Qingshan Town knew that your house had hollow bricks and you were dishonest, and then went to pry open the wall of the yamen courtyard to take a look at the bricks inside, what would it be like? ?”

Laiwajiang's small arms trembled, holding a face.

"I said Mrs. Mo, let's talk if we have something to say."

"It's okay to talk about it, let's see how much you negotiate."

Xia Bai'an smiled harmlessly to humans and animals.

But in Lai Majiang's eyes, this woman has gone dark from the outside to the inside!

They only exchanged a few words, and this woman seemed to have squeezed all his weaknesses to death.

But Carpenter Lai was not an impatient brat, seeing the brothers all sat down to drink water, the two little dolls brought two dishes of side dishes under Xia Bai'an's instruction, and chanted in their mouths.

"Mother said, uncles will have to work hard later, please eat and drink more."

"Uncle, if you don't have enough water, just call me, and I'll cook some more."

The two children smiled sincerely and came over with their things, which made the adults a little embarrassed and came to find work after a while.

Carpenter Lai just let out a long sigh: "You Mo family really know how to do business to win people's hearts. I've been defeated today."

Xia Bai'an smiled and brought him a bowl of water: "So, how much?"

Carpenter Lai took a sip of the water, and waved his hands helplessly: "Two taels of silver, both rooms are covered by you. The matter of the hollow brick..."

"Heaven knows, Earth knows, you know and I know."
