The Lord of the World Begins from the Siheyuan

Chapter 391 I'm About to Drink the Northwest Wind

Since there is no special request for confidentiality, everyone's news is not considered closed, and everyone knows that there was an earthquake in Hebei Province this morning.

What if the next big earthquake was closer, or nearby?
Houses collapsed and hit people, even if their lives were saved, the injuries would not be serious;
If no one was injured, the loss of property at home must not be small.

Li Ming's idea of ​​strengthening the house before was not a prodigal who is full of food, but a long-term vision.

He stood on the threshold of the second gate, "Everyone is holding a meeting of the whole courtyard!"

Yan Bugui opened his mouth and said, "Xiao Ming, have you heard about it? There was a big earthquake in Hebei Province."

He walked into the front yard with his bicycle, "I know, the factory held a special meeting in the afternoon to study this matter."

Uncle Dong understands better, "Xiao Ming is in charge of the construction of the staff building in their factory, so he must be the first to know the news."

Wu Ming, a worker at the rolling mill, asked, "Xiao Ming, do you want to change the expansion and reinforcement plan we discussed earlier?"

"You don't need to change it, I plan to change it. I plan to discuss with the neighbor's courtyard to make the house a little higher. Just build a one-and-a-half-story and rebuild it with a frame."

For such a large project, Yan Bugui reminded: "Xiao Ming, your house belongs to the factory! You pay for the renovation yourself?"

"The house belongs to the factory, but it is impossible for the factory to take the house back, and it is no different from mine. It is worth spending more money to live in a safe and comfortable place."

Li Junyi from the noodle factory answered, "It's not that you spend more, you spend a lot of money."

Li Ming nodded and said: "You don't have to do the same as me, you should reinforce and build according to the original plan. The house in our courtyard is of this mortise and tenon structure. In case of an earthquake, this kind of structure is not easy to span, but the brick wall is easy to fall down. .”

"If other people are worried that it is not strong enough, they can use wooden boards to nail a shelf against the wall in the house to support it. Usually, they are used to nail nails to hang things. When an earthquake comes, the wall will fall outwards, and the people in the house will not be hit."

Hearing Li Ming's reassuring words, everyone in the courtyard had their own thoughts.

His frame-based reconstruction costs too much, and no one is willing to follow.

After discussing for a while, everyone went back to their respective homes. There was no rush.

Sha Zhu, who had just returned to the courtyard from get off work, came to his house.

Silly Zhu was concerned about the same issues as the people in the courtyard, "Xiao Ming, you must know about the earthquake, should we change our house renovation plan?"

"I changed mine. You don't need to change it, and you have to save some money to marry a wife."

Li Ming explained to Sha Zhu the explanation he had given to the people in the courtyard before, and the cost of reconstruction directly made Sha Zhu dare not think about it.

"You built that greenhouse in the countryside, and your purse bulged, you are a rich man!"

"I can't keep the money in my hand, and I have to find someone to borrow some money to build the house."

Sha Zhu pulled back the stool and sat down, whispering: "Speaking of rich people, guess who I met recently?"

He cooperated and asked Sha Zhu, "Who is it?"

"It may be Lou Xiao'e, but I don't dare to recognize it. She has long hair instead, and she looks much younger."

Li Ming asked calmly, "Oh? Where did you see it?"

"In the alley near Gulou Street, she seemed to be in a hurry to go somewhere. I didn't go up to say hello, because I was afraid that I would recognize the wrong person."

"What are you doing there? It's not in the direction of the factory, and it's several miles away from our courtyard."

"Someone at Xishuang Hutong invited me to take the job in two days. I will take Mahua to see the owner's venue ahead of time."

Li Ming changed the subject on purpose, "This is another reward. You have constant banquets, good food in the cafeteria, you eat and drink every day, and you still get money. Life is much better than mine."

Hearing this, Silly Zhu opened his mouth to complain, nagging and talking non-stop,
"I still have a lot of fish and meat, and I'm about to drink the northwest wind!"

"Because of the cafeteria rectification measures you came up with before, the director of the cafeteria now asks our back kitchen to hold meetings to summarize and study how to make full use of ingredients."

"Qin Huairu blocked the way to thicken with powder and increase weight in advance."

"Comparing the inspection results of each cafeteria, the comparison of the announcements on the list, the accounts are even more clear, and it is difficult to do anything."

"We are doing everything with trepidation now, for fear of falling to the last place or exceeding the food consumption standard."

Li Ming is not so easy to be fooled, he doesn't believe him at all,
"What you're talking about is big pot dishes, and it doesn't have much to do with you. You usually take advantage of small stoves."

Silly Zhu clenched his fist with one hand and tapped the palm of the other hand lightly, calling out to Qu: "I eat meat alone, and everyone doesn't even have to drink soup. How can I handle such an unscrupulous thing?"

"That's right, so you don't even bring your lunch box now?"

"So, buddy, I'm about to drink the northwest wind now, so I can only hope that there will be more work outside."

"If you say this, no one in the courtyard will believe it, and no one in the factory will believe it. If you taste the saltiness a little more, you will be able to eat it well."

Captain Jia tasted more than ten mouthfuls of the pot of grouse in the battle of grouse, and said, "It's a bit salty, really salty, it's so salty to death!" '

Silly Zhu is very confident in his cooking skills, "With a handle in hand, I don't need to taste the saltiness at all when I cook."

"Then you can step back in your cooking skills and try more in normal times."

"Let's forget it, my buddy can't afford to lose that person. There are not many people who work overtime at night, we can take turns to take care of them!"

Li Ming usually invites guests at noon, as long as his food is not missing, he can do whatever he wants,
"That's right, there are so many ways in the back kitchen, you can't lack your food and drink. If the chef lacks food and drink, the people who eat will feel uneasy."

In this regard, Shazhu is a little proud. If he doesn't let the cook eat well, there may be a lot of bad things.

"Hey. By the way, when shall we start work?"

"Why are you in a hurry, the weather is fluctuating now, let's talk about it after the vernal equinox."

"I'm in a hurry to find someone!"

"You can actually look for it in advance now, and you can also talk about your renovation plan with others. There are more topics in the chat, otherwise you may only talk about the things in the kitchen. Who is the young woman with knowledge? Want to chat with you about cooking every day?"

Silly Zhu asked, "Is it all right now?"

"It's been more than a month since the New Year's Eve, and the limelight has almost passed. You usually read more books and newspapers, and don't listen to the radio in one ear and out the other. You demand so much from the woman, at least you can't be too bad yourself, otherwise people will Why are you looking at you?"

"That's right. Then I'll start looking for someone now!"

"Hurry up and find someone."

In fact, he has already helped arrange Shazhu's marriage.

After dismissing Silly Zhu, Li Ming read a book quietly in the East Wing,

Now, he carries a library with him, and he has all the books he wants to read.

That is, there are not many books that everyone likes to read and read, and the quality is not high, especially the illustrations are not good.
Lou Xiaoe's painting skills are not bad, he wanted to ask Lou Xiaoe to draw some, but Lou Xiaoe wanted to tickle him even if she didn't want to paint.

That is to say, he has only just learned how to draw, otherwise he would make pictures by himself.

at night,

Qin Huairu sneaked into the front yard, and after entering the door to the edge of the kang, she said concernedly:
"Tonight, the people in the yard are waiting for you to come back in the front yard. What did you say later?"

"What else, it's business as usual."
