Chapter 207 Plasterer: Zhang Yuanbing

After watching the foundation dug, Zhang Ruoruan paid the construction fee to Li Sanshui and walked home.

When I got home, I saw a man with dirty clothes standing at the door smoking.

Hearing Zhang Ruanruan's footsteps, he turned around and looked over. Seeing that it was Zhang Ruanruan, he quickly dropped half of the cigarette in his hand and stamped it out, then showed a reserved smile.

"Uncle Yuan Bing, what's the matter?"

Zhang Ruoruan broke the embarrassment.

Zhang Yuanbing, the father of Zhang Ruanruan’s primary school classmate.

His profession is a plasterer, and he helps people build their own houses in rural areas and lay bricks.

After so many years, except for the fact that his face has become older, nothing else has changed at all.

He was always dirty, with his clothes and pants stained with cement and white dust. From the time Zhang Ruanruan could remember, he had never seen Zhang Yuanbing dressed cleanly.

"This one……"

He came to Zhang Ruanruan just for this reason.

If Zhang Ruanruan's factory was a big project, then he would definitely keep silent about it. But now it's only one level, and they can do it beautifully at their level, so naturally they have to fight for it.

Then we exchanged a few pleasantries and went back first.

I remember when Zhang Yuanbing came to pick up his daughter at the school gate when he was a child, his daughter always sat on the back of the motorcycle with her head lowered and her face covered with her school uniform. It was called sun protection and wind protection, but everyone knew very well that her She didn't want her classmates to see that her father was a dirty cement builder.

layer.

It has been six years since elementary school, and Zhang Ruanruan doesn't know what the relationship between Zhang Jianguo and Zhang Yuanbing is like now.

"First floor." Zhang Ruoruan knew what Zhang Yuanbing was going to say.

From her point of view, it was okay to give it to Zhang Yuanbing. After all, although she and Zhang Yuanbing's daughter were not good friends, they had a good relationship when they were studying.

With their level of cement builders who have been building three- and four-story self-built houses all year round, they are fully qualified.

Let’s talk about Zhang Yuanbing.

"Ruanruan, can you do this project for us?" Zhang Yuanbing asked impatiently.

"I'll ask my dad first. I don't know if he has found anyone."

But on Zhang Jianguo's side, Zhang Ruanruan thought it was better to ask before answering.

"Ruanruan, do you want to build a factory? How many floors will it be built on?" Zhang Yuanbing wiped his hands on his waist and asked.

Now that there is such a benefit, there is no harm in giving it to him.

Zhang Ruanruan opened the door and entered the house, and at the same time dialed Zhang Jianguo's number.

"He, it's okay to give it to him." Zhang Jianguo also agreed: "Now Yuan Bing has also moved to the position of small foreman, and he can talk about many things."

"Okay, okay, this is what I want. I'll wait for your reply." Zhang Yuanbing was not surprised by Zhang Ruoruan's answer.

Zhang Ruoruan hesitated for a moment.

Zhang Yuanbing's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard that only one floor was built.

The relationship between him and Zhang Yuanbing is also average, but there is absolutely no quarrel.

Now that we can't find a more suitable candidate, Zhang Yuanbing from the same village is a good choice.

After all, with Zhang Ruanruan's current reputation in Qingping Village, Zhang Yuanbing wouldn't dare to cut corners even if he had three courages.

"Row."

The matter was decided happily.

……

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Ruoruan ignored the four little ones at his feet begging to be touched and returned directly to the room.

Lock the door and draw the curtains.

Start practicing!
"We should be able to break through tonight."

Zhang Ruoruan closed his eyes.

Since entering the first level of the Qi Refining Stage, Zhang Ruanruan's cultivation progress has begun to advance by leaps and bounds. In just a few months, he has reached the third level of the Qi Refining Stage.

Now, she is finally entering the fourth level.

This is a watershed realm. After the breakthrough, Zhang Ruanruan will be able to use more methods.

Zhang Ruanruan didn't even eat dinner and practiced like this all night.

When the sun rose the next day, her breath was as refreshing as the air illuminated by the sun.

"Success."

Zhang Ruoruan opened his eyes. …

Open the door, the sun is shining brightly.

It's already eight o'clock in the morning.

Calculating the time, Zhang Ruoruan's practice lasted a full 15 hours.

Zhang Ruoruan walked out of the yard to pet the dog with one hand and called Zhang Yuanbing with the other.

Tell him that the project was done for him and calculate the quantity of materials as soon as possible.

Steel bars, cement, river sand, bricks.

"Okay, I will go to your construction site now and have a good deal with you before noon. If you can't find a seller, you can also ask me for a recommendation." Zhang Yuanbing said.

For self-built buildings in rural areas, there are generally full-inclusive and half-inclusive options. Full-inclusive means that nothing is done and the plasterer will help you build it. Half-inclusive means that you only pay the labor and you buy the materials yourself.

"The whole package is for you. You calculate the price and we'll do it for you if it suits you." Zhang Ruanruan doesn't like trouble.

"Okay... okay." Zhang Yuanbing agreed with some hesitation.

This is a soft all-inclusive package, a hot potato. He didn't dare to let Zhang Ruoruan suffer, and he had to make money himself.

So he had to calculate this number carefully.

After saying this, Zhang Ruoruan took out the seeds collected yesterday to dry them.

Don’t forget to water newly planted herbs.

……

At noon, Zhang Yuanbing called.

"The cost of contracting work and materials is 32."

He said.

Zhang Ruoruan thought for a moment and nodded.

This price is ok.

That night.

Zhang Yuanbing asked someone to pull the steel bars over.

Unloading is next to the dug foundation trench.

For fear of being stolen by others, Zhang Yuanbing also built a temporary small tent next to the pile of steel bars.

With his skilled appearance, you can tell at a glance that he is a man with a story.

"I haven't been robbed."

When unloading, Zhang Yuanbing chatted with people from the same village who came to watch the excitement: "But I saw it once. It was 13 years ago. A foreman I knew tied up the steel bars and prepared them for pouring the next day. As a result, the next morning Come on, oh, all the steel bars have been stolen."

"Whose does this belong to?"

"See if it's a contract for labor and materials. If it's a contract for labor and materials, it definitely belongs to the foreman."

Zhang Yuanbing said as he rolled out his folding bed.

"Then you have to be careful."

Zhang Yuanbing lay on the bed and tried it out, making sure it was stable before getting down.

……

the next day.

Zhang Yuanbing’s co-workers came on a motorcycle.

There were six people in total, two of them husband and wife.

This is the most common combination among rural plasterers.

Generally, men are responsible for technical and physical work, while women are responsible for cooking and mixing grout.

When everyone arrived, including Zhang Yuanbing who had been watching all night, everyone started to work.

Lift and tie steel bars.

Just tie the steel bars together in the dug trench, and then pour it with cement slurry to create a foundation as stable as an old dog.

However, because Zhang Ruanruan's factory building is only one floor, the steel bars used are not too thick or too much, and the all-inclusive price can only be purchased at 32.

Otherwise, self-built houses with four or five floors, which are half the size of Zhang Ruanruan's factory, would cost more than 100,000 yuan to lay a foundation.
