Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 294 Money can’t be spent
Wang An observed the big brother's clothes and tone of voice, trying to judge what position this big brother held in the brick factory.

But I didn't notice it at all, mainly because many leaders in this era look no different from ordinary workers.

So Wang An asked with a smile: "Brother, I am tired of asking, who should I go to to buy bricks?"

When the big brother heard that Wang An was going to buy bricks, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned into a smile. It was obvious that the big brother was happy.

I saw this big brother walking toward Wang An and asking hurriedly:
"Just come to me. Buy bricks? Who wants to buy bricks? Do you want to buy bricks? How many can you buy?"

But before Wang An could speak, the big brother continued:
"Let me tell you, the bricks in our factory are very strong. If you lay them side by side, they won't be chipped for a hundred years. Do you know why our bricks are so strong?"

Just when Wang An was about to speak, he saw that the big brother didn't look at Wang An at all, and continued to talk to himself:
"They didn't even know what was going on. I told you that it was because we added something to it."

Three minutes later, Wang An saw that the big brother was still talking, speaking seriously and passionately.

Wang An wanted to interrupt the big brother's speech, but held back.

After another three minutes, the big brother was still talking and started talking about the origin of bricks.

Wang An couldn't help it, but he still held it back, mainly because Wang An felt that it would be impolite to interrupt others without any reason.

Three minutes passed again, and Wang An couldn't bear it any longer!
The point is, there's nothing wrong with bragging about how awesome your bricks are, because people who sell things don't say that their products are bad.

But you’re not here to learn the history of bricks. Are you telling me about the Qing Dynasty’s bricks?

So Wang An raised his voice and said:
"Brother, hey, brother, I'm here to buy bricks. Let's go see the bricks?"

Suddenly interrupted by Wang An, the big brother seemed not satisfied yet, but when he talked about buying bricks, he was really happy.

I saw the big brother's left hand swiping at the pile of bricks in the yard, and then he said:

"There are so many bricks, and they are all good bricks. Just look at them."

Wang An glanced at the stack of green bricks, ignored the stack of red bricks, and asked the big brother:
"Brother, how much does this blue brick cost per piece? Can you deliver it to your home?"

Due to the large temperature difference in the Black Province, the bricks used to build houses in this era were mostly blue bricks instead of red bricks.

Because although blue bricks are expensive, they are frost-resistant!
You must know that the temperature in the Black Province is at its lowest at about minus 45 degrees. At such temperatures, some red bricks will become brittle and bulge.

Although not all red bricks are like this, no one can tell which brick is frost-resistant and which is not.

And whether this thing will be broken by the freeze has a lot to do with the rain before the freeze.

Because the red bricks of this era will generally turn into crumbs if they are soaked and then frozen.

Therefore, in this era, it is very dangerous to use red bricks in houses where people live.

Therefore, as long as they build a house, people will basically choose blue bricks and ignore red bricks.

Of course, Wang An knew that with the subsequent upgrade of brick-making technology, these problems with red bricks had been solved.

But that time was already 90 years later.

Some people may ask, are all the red bricks produced by brick factories in Heilongjiang Province being thrown away in this era?

This is not the case, because the red bricks of this era were mostly used indoors, such as to build stoves, partition walls, kang edges, paving floors, etc.

For outdoor use, build open sheds, sheep pens, pig pens, cattle pens, build courtyard walls, etc.

After all, bricks cost per piece. Using red bricks for things like these won’t have much impact. The key is to save a lot of money!
But Wang An is not short of money, so no matter what he builds, Wang An will always choose blue bricks.

When the big brother heard Wang An's question, he said without thinking: "Red bricks are worth five points, blue bricks are worth three points. Brother, how much can you ask for?"

Wang An thought for a while and said: "At least 80 is required. If it is not enough, come again."

Normally, a three-room brick house in the northeastern countryside requires about 37 bricks because the exterior walls are 5 walls.

37 wall is the width of one brick plus the length of one brick. This kind of wall is thicker and warmer. In the south, the wall is mostly 1, which is the width of two bricks.

But Wang An definitely can't build only such a big house.

Besides, Wang An plans to build two houses. With so many people in the family, how can one house be enough?
And each house cannot only have three rooms, but at least five rooms, because Wang An cannot only have one child.

Besides, Wang An also has a younger brother and two younger sisters. When they grow up, they all have to have a room of their own.

In addition to the lower house, open shed, pig, cattle and sheep pens and courtyard walls, 80 bricks are probably not enough!

Wang An's words made Big Brother raise his eyebrows, and then he laughed so hard that his eyes almost disappeared.

Then the big brother said with a smile: "I can give it away, but I have to pay some fees."

The foot fee is the shipping fee.

Wang An frowned and asked, "How do you calculate the foot fee?"

Big Brother squinted his eyes and thought about it, then suddenly asked: "Brother, which village are you from?"

Wang An replied: "Xing'an Commune, Kaoshantun."

I saw Big Brother staring with big eyes and saying, "I've been to Kaoshantun. It's a good place."

After a minute, Wang An concluded that this big brother was definitely a talker, and he was so damn good at chattering!
So Wang An interrupted: "Brother, brother, I don't know if it's okay or not. Let's talk about business, okay?"

Big Brother blinked and said, "One truck can pull four square bricks. How about one yuan per square foot?"

After Wang An listened, he squinted his eyes and calculated in his mind.

One square brick is about 500 bricks, and 4 square meters is 2000 bricks. That means one truck can pull about 2000 bricks.

10车就是2万块砖，100车才20万块砖，那么80万块砖，就得拉400车！
Damn it, with so many bricks, the fee is 1600 yuan!

Wang An silently calculated the brick cost again in his mind. A blue brick cost 3 cents, so 80 bricks would cost 2.4.

After finishing the calculation, Wang An's inner thought was, money is such a stupid thing, you really can't help but spend it!
The key is that these bricks may not be enough, but I haven’t bought cement and steel bars yet!
Thinking of this, Wang An frowned and said, "Your price is not cheap, brother. I'm going to buy this old brick, so you can make it cheaper for me."

After hearing this, Big Brother also frowned and said, "Your village is more than 30 miles away from here. The price is not expensive."

Wang An took out a cigarette and gave it to Big Brother, then took one himself, lit them both, and took a puff.

Wang Ancai said: "I heard that we buy bricks and get tiles for free. Is this the saying?"

Big Brother took the cigarette out of his mouth and said hurriedly:

"Gift, must give, 5 bricks for 1000 tiles, our tiles are all red, that's serious."

Before Big Brother could finish speaking, Wang An interrupted eagerly:

"Brother, how about the foot fee for Nava?"

Wang An no longer cares about the issue of politeness. He mainly cares about the big brother's mouth. As long as he opens his mouth, he can't close it.

Big Brother was not angry when he was interrupted. He thought for a long time before saying:

"We won't charge for Wa's foot fee. What do you think, bro? Are you open to the public?"

Bargaining has nothing to do with being open or not, so Wang An said:
"Brother, then you should open your spot and give the money to your brother to get down."

After Wang An finished speaking, Big Brother fell silent and was no longer talkative at all!
