Golden Fishery

Weil smiled bitterly and said, "Number, buddy, I didn't tell you the number. My guys build buildings, and they all use eight people as a unit, and eight people are responsible for the construction of a building. How many fishermen do you have? There must be three ten?"

"Thirty-two..."

"If they know how to operate small cranes, forklifts and other tools, it will be no problem to build a building on a mature foundation within a week. Besides, don't underestimate the fishermen, they are all good at work, compared to me The workers are just inexperienced, they must have built houses before."

It took another day, and the seeds and spores of seaweed and algae were sprinkled into the fishing ground. The seawater that the giant algae had finally cleaned became turbid again. Countless seeds and spores floated with the seawater, absorbing the energy of the sea god and brewing to germinate and grow.

At night, Shaq and Bull came back on a transport ship. In addition to various wooden boards and beams, there were also a series of machines operated by one person, such as small and medium-sized cranes, two-wheel nailing machines, and impact drills. Wait, that looks a lot like that.

The boss and workers sorted and transported these materials to the surroundings of the building, and handed Qin Shiou a bill for him to check and pay.

Qin Shiou took a look, and this time the two bought basically all wood products, and they didn't buy doors and windows yet.

Almost all houses in Canada are made of wood. This is not because there are many local woods that can be selected locally. Most of the wood used to build houses in Canada is imported from South America. They themselves are very good at things like logging Do not allow behaviors that damage the environment to occur.

Compared with masonry, wood is undoubtedly much lighter, so it is easier to construct, and it is convenient to make up for any problems.

Of course, timber houses are not as durable as masonry houses, but Canadians don’t need their houses to be more durable. This is different from the domestic situation and is determined by the national conditions of the two countries.

Chinese people don't like to move, and they have a strong nostalgia. If you live in one place for a long time, you will have feelings, so it is better to build a durable house. Moreover, buying a house in China does not consider the loan repayment situation. Basically all expenses are paid in the first year, and it is enough to live thereafter.

This is not the case in Canada. First of all, Canadians don’t like to live in one place for a long time. It can be said that they have a stronger “adventurous spirit” or that they are too playful. So I often see people running around with cars dragging their houses on the road. Live wherever you like.

In this way, it is natural that light and light wooden houses are more suitable than masonry houses. Once a masonry house is completed, it cannot be taken away as a whole.

In addition, houses in Canada have a fixed asset tax, which is 3% of the value paid each year.

In this way, if you build an expensive house with bricks and stones, you will naturally pay more prescribed property taxes every year. Might as well build a cheap house out of lumber and spend the rest of the property tax on repairs.

Maintenance may be laborious, but Canadians are not afraid of labor, they like this kind of manual work, and maintenance can allow the house to be updated in time. Always keep up with fashion trends.

Another most important reason is that bricks and stones in Canada are very expensive, and those who can build houses with bricks and stones are rich people. Many mansions that look like brick walls are actually decorated with the texture of brick walls on the outside, such as Speaking of the villas in Daqin Yuchang, there is a layer of tiles pasted on the outside of the wood inside.

Timber is relatively cheap. South America has the most forests in the world, and the Amazon rainforest can provide countless trees. North America, as South America's neighbor and big brother, can get a lot of cheap wood. In the end, it is naturally cheaper for the common people to buy.

According to Qin Shiou's bill, a four-meter-high and half-meter-diameter piece of wood only costs one thousand yuan, which is unimaginable in China. As for the plywood boards used to build houses, they are even cheaper, 12 cm thick boards. It only costs 500 yuan per square meter.

However, some finished products are much more expensive. Some furniture is best put into the house at the same time when building the house. Shaq bought a set of maple cabinets and a large wardrobe. The two add up to 4,800 yuan. The granite countertops used in the kitchen are more expensive, costing 5,000 yuan. Beautiful staircase in a small building. This is 2800 yuan, not including the stair railing, which will cost another 2200 yuan.

In addition, lamps must be purchased in advance. Shaq purchased according to Qin Shiou's request. The chandelier for the hall costs 1,500 yuan, and the twelve spotlights in a circle cost 1,400 yuan. The floor of the toilet and kitchen needs to be tiled, and a set costs 6,000 yuan...

But on the whole, Qin Shiou felt that it was not expensive, and all of these added up to only 180,000 yuan.

After he swiped his card to pay the bill, the boss thanked him, then said that he would continue to look for him if there was anything he needed, and left, as if he was not surprised by their own behavior of building a house.

Naturally, he had to live in a tent that night, and early in the morning after the night, there were shouts of fishermen and the roar of machines outside. Qin Shiou rubbed his sleepy eyes to check the time, and it was only five o'clock in the morning.

He opened the tent and looked outside. The fishermen were already shirtless and enthusiastically working. It seemed that they had agreed to get up early to work. Apparently, these guys are a bit bragging about building a house in six days, so they're rushing to get to work.

Qin Shiou smiled mischievously and deliberately sabotaged. After washing up, he made a delicious breakfast. In fact, it is relatively simple. It is to cook a pot of oatmeal with milk, and use the kitchen on the ship to fry food such as small sausages, bacon, and steak, as well as salted duck eggs and pickled ghost ginger.

The fishermen are all foodies, and they are used to eating Chinese-style breakfast with him. They have a special liking for devil ginger and salted duck eggs. They eat too much greasy food, and they also like this light and delicious breakfast.

But the fishermen will not be fooled, they gobbled it up when they ate, and some even put a few slices of devil ginger in the bread and went to work.

Qin Shiou followed to help, and he also learned how Canadians build houses.

The foundation is a concrete floor, and Shaq led people to divide it neatly with spray paint. According to the design drawings, several rooms were divided, which one is the garage, which one is the living room, which one is the bedroom, which one is the kitchen, and which one is the living room. It is the Health Bureau, and the division is clear.

Immediately after he divided his place, someone used a nail gun to drive out cement nails and nailed strips of wooden squares on it. Then someone found the load-bearing wall and started the crane to pull up the thick and strong wooden boards. The columns act as wall posts, dividing several rooms.

In this way, with the construction of load-bearing walls and the addition of strips of wooden squares, the wide foundation was quickly covered, and this place became a large wooden cage. (To be continued.)
