Bai Zhi didn’t expect that Song Gong will praise her drawing . Although she painted carefully, she didn’t give it her all . She deliberately lowered her skill . Because if she showed the real level of her painting skill, her drawing will come out more refined .
Bai Zhi chuckled twice, then said: “I have seen a lot more refined paintings . I painted this one according to other people’s drawings . I just changed the measurements . I don’t deserve Song Bobo’s praised . ”
Seeing her so modest, Song Gong felt even more happy inside his heart . Although it’s important to get work, receiving a job to the people that were hard to talk to, was very unfortunate .
This family in front of him, all their smiles were kind, they work diligently, and their words were polite . It’s very easy to get along with them .

Seeing Song Gong and Song Qingfeng began to calculate the number of bricks and woods . Bai Zhi looked outside, she noticed the time was not too early: “I will go to cook, it’s already late, stay here and eat together with us . ” ”
Song Gong hurriedly waved his hand: “That can’t be . We haven’t finish any work, how can we eat first?”
Bai Zhi waved her hand: “We don’t pay attention to such a thing . It’s already noon, and I delayed a lot of your time . Just eat here with us . ”
When Bai Zhi finished, she went to the kitchen . Zhao Lan also went to help her cook, while Hu Changlin smiled and said: “Just eat here, it’s nothing but a poor people eat, alright?”
Song Gong also smiled and said: “Oh, then the two of us will eat here, we will make you spend more money . ”

Hu Changlin happily replied: “What spend more money? It’s good if you will bring some snack back to your home . Zhi’er is a kind person, so don’t worry about it . As long as you work hard, she will not treat you badly . ”
Song Gong pointed his finger to the drawing and said: “Once this house is finished, I don’t know how many people in the town will follow suit . So, even if I won’t be paid for this, I will do it . ”
Hu Changlin can’t understand what’s on the drawing, so he doesn’t know what it was all about . However, because of what Song Gong had said, he thought the drawing must be a very beautiful house .
After lunch, Song Gong finished listing and calculating all the needed materials . The things written was only for the materials cost, there were no labor fees yet, so the amount cost 30 silver coins .

Bai Zhi faintly took a glance, then nodded her head: “Alright, the materials cost is 30 silver coins, how about the labor fees?”
Song Gong replied: “Because you let us build such a house, you don’t need to pay me and Qingfeng . You just pay the labor of other workers . ”
Bai Zhi shook her head: “How can that be? If you work, I must pay you . Just tell me the usual price . ”
Zhao Lan also opened her mouth and said: “That’s right . There is no reason for you to work free . Just tell us how much is it . ”
Seeing their persistence, Song Gong just offered a friendly price, which had a 30% discount on the usual labor fee .
Bai Zhi looked at the price and calculated inside her mind . She knew that Song Gong deliberately lowered the price . However, she didn’t say another word, she will just pay him the right amount when its time .
“Should we give an advance payment for the materials or we should pay in full?” Bai Zhi asked .
Song Gong busily replied: “This will be the case, we should give 2 silver coins first as a deposit, so that the bricks, woods and some other things that are needed will be delivered . After the house is completed, we will do the inventory, to see if we used much or less, then we will settle the final amount . ”
Bai Zhi nodded her head and asked: “What about the workers’ wages? How we will settle it?”
Song Gong answered: “I am the foreman . My wages will be paid after the completion of the house . The masons only come every three days . Carpenters and small workers work every day . Their wages are counted based on the day they worked . ”
Bai Zhi made calculations inside her mind, then ask Hu Changlin to take out 10 silver coins . Then, she handed them to Song Gong: “Song Bobo, I will give you these 10 silver coins in advance . Take away the deposit for the materials, then use the rest to help me find good workers . If it’s not enough, just come and find me . ”
