Chapter 117 Finding a Building Foreman

So, he yelled: "Mom, what does the puppy want to eat? It's so small, can it drink milk?"

Sun Mei smiled and said, "No, the dog's stomach function is very weak, so it can't drink milk, only goat's milk. It doesn't matter, just feed it rice cereal and steamed buns at night. It's best to raise a small dog."

Only then did Zhao Zhitong feel relieved, and continued to play with the puppy.

After dinner in the evening, Zhao Zhitong and Zhao Ya were responsible for feeding the puppy rice cereal, and then went to see Zhao Dong draw the design of the new house.

In fact, Zhao Zhitong can't understand anything, but it doesn't prevent her from making suggestions, no, that's it.

"Daddy, let's build a grape trellis in the yard, so there will be grapes to eat."

Zhao Dong thought for a while and said, "Okay, let's build it in the second courtyard."

Zhao Zhitong said again: "Father, let's set up a swing next to the grape trellis."

Zhao Dong nodded, feeling that there was no problem, he picked up a pen to mark it.

...

After she finished her suggestion, looking at the design drawing of this new home, it was as if she had seen a new home.

The little ones are very excited, and have already started to enjoy their new home in various ways.

After Zhao Zhitong went to school the next day, Zhao Dong went to Zhangjiacun with gifts and design drawings.

There was a foreman in Zhangjia Village named Zhang Jinbao. He was a master foreman who specialized in building houses in several villages around him.

He is skilled and has a good reputation. If anyone in the surrounding villages builds a house, they will come to him.

When Zhao Dong arrived at Zhang Jinbao's house, unfortunately, Zhang Jinbao had just gone to work in the fields, and only Zhang Baolin's wife and mother were at home.

After hearing Zhao Dong's intentions, Zhang Jinbao's old mother asked him to come back at noon, and Zhang Jinbao would be waiting for him at home.

Zhao Dong smiled and nodded his thanks, he didn't stay long, he went out and went back home, at noon, he brought his things and looked for it again.

At this moment, Zhang Jinbao was waiting for him at home.

When Zhang Jinbao came back, he had already heard from her mother and daughter-in-law that Zhao Dong had looked for him, so after meeting Zhao Dong, without asking any further questions, he led the person in, smiled and went straight to the topic: "Your house is ready to move in." ?”

Zhao Dong nodded, "Yes."

Then, with a smile, he put a wrapped box of pastries on the table with a red seal on it, and said with a smile, "A little thought, I'm going to build a house at home, so I need to trouble Master Zhang a lot."

This red seal was still about building a house when he met the stone when he came back today.

Shitou reminded him that he would wrap it up, and said yes, he would send a red envelope to Zhang Jinbao, and he would help calculate how many bricks and tiles would be needed to build the house, so as to prevent waste when buying too many bricks and tiles, and delay things when buying less.

This is very good, so Zhao Dong did it.

After seeing the red seal, Zhang Jinbao nodded with a smile, and asked, "What kind of house is your family going to build? An earthen house, a wooden house, or a brick house?"

Zhao Dongdao: "Master, I am going to build a brick house, so please ask Master Zhang to help me see how many bricks and tiles I need."

After speaking, he took out the design drawings and told Zhang Jinbao about his general plan.

Zhang Jinbao was taken aback when he saw the design drawings.

After listening to Zhao Dong's narration, Zhang Jinbao was shocked.

One is that the yard that Zhao Dong wants to build is really big, which is really rare in the countryside. The other is that the design and planning of these houses looks very novel and unique. He has built houses for so many years, and he has never seen them before. .

He felt that Zhao Dong should know how to build a house.

So, he asked, "Do you know this business?"

Zhao Dong didn't lie either: "No, no, I just know a little bit, so I still need to trouble Master Zhang a lot."

Zhang Jinbao nodded and said with a smile: "Leave this to me, don't worry, I'm just in this business, and I'm sure I won't do things that ruin my own brand."

Then, he looked at the blueprint and asked, "The well is in the backyard?"

Zhao Dong nodded: "Master Zhang, can you dig wells?"

Zhang Jinbao smiled confidently: "Yes, of course, we have people who specialize in digging wells, cellars, and ice cellars." Then he glanced at the drawings and said, "Do you want to dig cellars?"

Zhao Dong slapped his forehead, and then remembered what he had overlooked. The cellar is excellent for storing vegetables in winter.

So he nodded, "Hit."

Immediately thinking about it, he asked, "Master Zhang, can you also open the ice cellar?"

He was still very surprised by this. He didn't expect that they could even hit this kind of thing.

Hearing this, Zhang Jinbao immediately laughed, and proudly said: "Hey, don't underestimate us, the ice cellar is not a problem, like the ice cellar of the Wei country gentleman's house, but we are responsible for making it."

After finishing speaking, he accidentally fell in love with Zhao Dong; "Do you want to beat one at home too?"

Zhao Dong smiled: "I have this idea."

There is no air-conditioning here in summer, and the heat is unbearable. If there is an ice cellar, their life will be much easier in summer.

So he asked: "What does the ice cellar you make look like?"

Then Zhang Jinbao explained to him that there are mainly two kinds of ice caves now, one is to directly dig earthen pits; the other is to use brick and stone arches to excavate and construct to form underground ice caves.

Of course, the second will be more expensive and labor-intensive.

No need to think about it, Zhao Dong will definitely choose the second option.

After everything was finalized, Zhang Jinbao began to fight with the abacus, and after a while, he was given a budget for the number of bricks and tiles.

Then, he took Zhao Dong directly to the brick kiln factory to order bricks and tiles.

Because Zhang Jinbao is in this line of work, and he is familiar with the people in the brick kiln factory, and Zhao Dong is polite to him, and the red envelopes in his handbags are also generous.

That Zhang Jinbao took him directly to the Majia Brick Kiln Factory, where bricks and tiles are the most affordable.

Because Zhao Dong wanted too many bricks and tiles, Boss Ma was in a bit of danger, because there were quite a lot of bricks and tiles ordered now, and it was said that it would take two months to make them.

However, after two months, it was too late to build a house.

So, Zhang Jinbao sold his favor, and the owner Ma of the brick kiln factory asked them to come to pull bricks and tiles in half a month.

Zhao Dong immediately thanked him with a smile, and said in his heart, there are indeed people who are easy to handle. If it weren't for this Jinbao, he might have to wait until next year to start building a house.

After that, Zhao Dong agreed with Zhang Jinbao on the date of building the house, agreed on the wages of the workers, and then returned home.

...

At night, after the children fell asleep, Zhao Dong settled the bill.

To build the house this time, the money for bricks and tiles, plus the wages of the workers, and the meal money for the foremen at noon, calculated, all the expenses until the new house is built, will cost about six hundred taels of silver.

In fact, it would not cost so much, because he added an ice cellar. However, it was still within his budget.

After Guangjuxuan's medicinal vegetables started to be sold, they would not have to worry about running out of money for the time being.

And the news that their family was going to build a house spread like wildfire. The villagers were happy for Zhao Dong, and naturally there were also some bitter words.

Regarding the discussion in the village, Zhao Dong's family didn't take it seriously.

When the ten-day appointment with the peony flower shop came, Zhao Dong went to the county seat alone and brought back the fruit saplings.
