A piece of paper

Chapter 157 Too lazy to pick my feet
After a nice drink, Chen Laowu found out that his words must be followed and his deeds must be resolute. He brought two people to see Xianjin early the next morning.

Yiyuan is the inner residence of the Chen family, so Xianjin arranged the meeting place at Jixi Workshop. Xianjin arrived at the store on time, inspected everything inside and out, walked around with his feet, and had a rough idea in his mind—— The area of ​​the house is about 150 square meters, the workshop area is about 120 square meters, and there is a backyard estimated to be about [-] square meters.

This was the specialty of my upstart father in his previous life, and it was almost indistinguishable from the data measured with a ruler.

Xian Jin buried his head and calculated the approximate expenses in his mind, including the waterproof tiles coated with enamel, the new wooden beams, the blue brick floor, and the paper "purely made of bricks and porcelain, no wood plants" In the warehouse, the repair cost per square meter can be controlled at about one tael to one, two or three yuan. A 220-square-meter interior can be purchased for basically 300 taels. This is a hard decoration, and there are also hardware for the papermaking workshop, such as baking cages and drying cages. Paper mills and paper traps;

The main expenditures for the backyard are to open the water channel and rebuild the retting pond and the shed for stacking materials. This is an ancient industrial construction. Even if my father in the previous life was here, he might not be able to come up with a plan immediately.

Xian Jin stood in the front store with his hands on his hips, stretched out his index finger and poked at the half-height counter.

This counter, just like Chen Laowu's life, was precarious, crumbling, and uneasy, so he sighed silently, and there was still money that he hadn't calculated - furniture.

Xianjin scratched his head and asked Manager Dong, "Old madam, don't you come to the workshop often to check?"

Manager Dong was holding a small book in his hand and was writing down the use of each place. Hearing Xianjin ask this, he said, "Since the uncle passed away in mid-autumn last year, the old lady has rarely left the house. Mulberry Paper Workshop and Lantern Xuan Workshop It’s very close, but I’ve been there a few times, here and in Jingxian County.” Manager Dong shook his head, “I basically won’t go there.”

Xian Jin pursed his lips: It took more than a year for this place to be in such a state of ruin!

Manager Dong understood Xianjin's eyes and said with a smile, "Before, when the old lady came over, Qu Damao took the old lady for a walk in the front yard. After walking for a moment, he took the old lady to Longchuan next to it. I went to a fishing boat on the stream to eat clear water fish, and then I brought my young grandson over, one bite at a time as an 'ancestor', which made the old lady very happy."

how to say?

The state sets a retirement age, which is not only to protect social animals, but also to protect the workplace ecology. As people get older, they will inevitably spend more time talking about emotions and relationships in the workplace. Of course, not all, but some people will definitely change as they grow older. You have to be stubborn, perfunctory, and empiricist.

Mrs. Qu is a good example. The courage to fight against the odds when she was young gradually dulled over time, and what she yearned for also changed. 30 years ago, Mrs. Qu earned enough 300 taels of silver. The happiness it brings must be much better than calling her "ancestor" from distant relatives who are separated from each other.

At three o'clock in the morning, Chen Laowu came with someone. The person called himself Brother Hai Si. He was short and lean. After walking around the Jixi workshop, he let out a worried "tsk", touched his chin with his hand and turned to look. Chen Laowu, "Your shop is difficult to run. The land is large and remote. Just transporting raw materials is a huge expense, not to mention the hard things such as baking cages, paper drying mills, and water diversion ditches as mentioned by the shopkeeper."

Mr. Chen Wu offered a cup of tea with a smile, "The more work you do, the more money you will make. I hired Fourth Brother Hai to do all the back rooms in the government office. This is not a big deal."

Brother Hai drooped his eyes and glanced at Xian Jin, "In other words, your Chen family, changing households, I won't do this kind of loss-making business!"

Xian Jin squinted his eyes and smiled, as if he was watching his biological father reappear in his previous life.

Let's talk about decoration. Anyway, thousands of people say thousands of words, and ultimately they end up with "I'll do it for you, and I won't make any money! I'll charge the cost price, and I won't make a loss!", or else "I'll do it for you at a low price this time. You have to remember me next time you have a job!".

These people who do decoration are not businessmen at all, they are engaged in charity. It is a non-profitable business, and they do it for free with labor.

As a result, three or five years later, I bought a Land Rover.

Xianjin smiled and didn't take the initiative to talk to him anyway.

When Brother Hai saw that Xianjin was ignoring him, he turned around and simply talked to Xianjin face to face, "Shopkeeper He, you are from a girl's family. I don't want to trick you. You are doing this job just for the sake of the fifth master. I I just came to see it - I currently have three shops and two houses to build."

Xianjin nodded and said with a smile, "Then you can give me a rough estimate."

Brother Hai rolled his eyes and glanced at Chen Laowu, "900 taels of silver. 300 taels for signing the contract, 300 taels for the raw materials, and the remaining 300 taels will be paid after the work is completed."

Xian Jin asked Chen Laowu with a smile, "Fifth Grandpa, do you think this price is too high?"

Mr. Chen Wu leaned back slightly, with a kind smile under his gray beard, "We are all business people. Doing business should not only focus on money, but also quality. Brother Hai did this in Xuancheng For many years, I haven’t heard of any signboards being smashed, so don’t worry about that.”

Xianjin smiled and said, "Okay, let's sign it."

Those who are in the construction business usually bring a deed with them when they come to the house.

Xianjin didn't even read the contents of the deed. He signed his name with a soft brush and closed it. He thought about it and pushed the deed to Mr. Chen Wu with a smile. It’s my insurance, please sign it too!”

Mr. Chen Wu and Brother Hai looked at each other, rolled up his sleeves and picked up the soft pen, smiled angrily and tapped the gold three times, "...I just finished teaching you how to do business, now I have to teach you how to do business!" "Sounds very familiar, at least he is a good master and disciple who led him out hand in hand!

The taste of the shumai with mushrooms and three delicacies that Xianjin ate in the morning is still fresh in his memory - it made him vomit up his throat, can it not be new?
After Mr. Chen Wu finished signing, Xian Jin smiled and told Brother Hai, "Can you please give me a detailed list of materials, such as ten loads of stones, four thousand pieces of green tiles, 13 meters of fir wood, etc. It is better for us to settle the matter first and not mess up the matter later than to mess up the matter later."

The depth of decoration lies in two areas: materials and labor.

The materials used can be said to vary greatly. Good fragrant fir can be as thick as 1.1 meters. It is not only strong but also emits the fragrance of wood, and can repel insects, rats, and ants. Some fir trees with poor straightness have large knots and are slightly bent. , it is very easy to be unstable when making roof beams, and each beam only costs one tael of silver.

This is where the contractor gets his money.

In addition, places under bricks, on roofs, and in the soil that customers cannot see are also good places to save money.

When Chen Laowu heard Xianjin's words, his smile obviously faltered for a moment, and then he opened his mouth to speak. As soon as he opened his lips, he was interrupted by Brother Hai's look.

"Okay! I'll do it tomorrow! I'll give you the order tomorrow, shopkeeper He, what do you think?" Brother Hai smiled frankly and heartily.

Xianjin smiled and said, "Of course it's good. The sooner we start construction, the better, and the sooner we finish it, the better."

Brother Hai then took a tape measure and measured it carefully. His expression was serious and he looked very professional.

Xian Jin's eyes fell on the measuring tape that was obviously not straight, he smiled and said nothing.

When Chen Laowu sent Fourth Brother Hai out, Chen Laowu lowered his voice and said, "Once the size is determined, wouldn't it be difficult to make discrepancies? Can we still save money from it?"

Brother Hai is confident, "There is plenty of room to save money! 250 taels, a copper coin is not enough for you."

Chen Laowu felt deeply aggrieved: How could he ever become a pimp for 200 taels of silver?

I don’t have any money now!
I was squeezed to the bone!
I cleared the account book yesterday, and now the cash on the account is only 86 taels!

86 taels, eat shit!

Chen Laowu patted Brother Hai on the back and said, "Do it well and make it look good. It will only last a few years. If you do it too well, you won't make any money even if it lasts for decades." , I don’t make any money either.”

Brother Hai chuckled.

On the next day, Brother Hai brought a detailed bill of materials. Xian Jin opened it and saw, as expected, "17 meters of fine fir wood" for 25 taels of silver.

Good morning?

How to define good?Who defines good?
Why not just write "Fragrant fir"?
Xianjin smiled, closed the list of detailed materials, and asked Suo'er to bring out 300 taels of silver notes, "...Send it to Brother Hai, and ask him to enter the venue tomorrow."

Manager Dong hesitated and said, "Then our Jixi workshop will be closed tomorrow?"

Xian Jin nodded.

"What should we do, guys?" Manager Dong frowned.

His crotch was stretched, but now that he was on a long vacation, he was afraid that these lazy guys who were too lazy to pick their feet would die at home.

Xianjin said expressionlessly, "Pack it up, pack it all up, and send it back to Xicheng Avenue."

Xianjin touched his upper lip to his lower lip, "Give them, training."
