Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 235 How Can Blue Bricks Be Used Like This?

But before this barbecue restaurant opened, Xue Hong spent a lot of money to build several greenhouses.

In Xue Hong's current space, many fruits, vegetables and fruit trees are planted in the plantation field.These things are not bad for a long time, and the output is sufficient, which is completely enough for the consumption of barbecue restaurants.

However, if the things sold in restaurants are in season, it’s okay, but once it’s the cold winter months, and you still have fresh fruits and vegetables for sale here, it will have to arouse people’s ideas, so the source of seasonal fruits and vegetables must be given A reasonable explanation for the world is that it is necessary to build a greenhouse in one fell swoop.

So how do you say it was a lot of money?
It turned out that Xue Hong built his greenhouse a little too sparingly.

The location was still in the village in the suburbs of Beijing where Zhen Shiyin's family lived. Xue Hong bought a large homestead near the root of the mountain from the village chief at a low price.Although there is a water source not far away from that piece of land, because it is too close to the mountains and wild animals often appear, the people in the village dare not buy that piece of land even if they don't have the land to build houses, so the price is very low.

Xue Hong naturally knew this. When he was about to buy, the village chief reminded him more than once out of good intentions not to choose a bad place just because it was cheap, but Xue Hong laughed it off.

Originally, this "agricultural product industrial park" Xue Hong planned to keep it strictly confidential to the outside world. In the future, he will not only build a high wall around the periphery that ordinary beasts cannot climb, but also let Chang Yong bring the disciples from the slums to live forever. Security here.

Xue Hong has already given Chang Yong a copy of the martial arts secret book produced by Space, which can be regarded as an intermediate class.After Chang Yong practiced martial arts, he has made great progress compared to before, and the people under him have gradually become better.Living here, I am not afraid that the beasts in the mountains will not come, but I am afraid that there will be fewer coming, not enough for Chang Yong and those young boys to practice.

After buying the land, Xue Hong drew an architectural drawing and found the best craftsmen to build a house for him.However, this drawing is truly astonishing.

That piece of land covers an area of ​​nearly fifty acres. For such a large piece of land, a wall of nearly 3.5 meters high needs to be built around it. In addition to a few houses that can accommodate three to 40 people, there is not much to say about the yard. Ten wells need to be drilled, and there are circular brick houses that each cover an area of ​​half an acre and are like yurts. The brick houses also have strange-shaped transom windows and bright windows for sunlight.

Because Xue Hong plans to plant a lot of things, there are probably nearly [-] such "small yurts".

Walking into these small round houses, you will find that there is a huge water tank in each of them, and there is also a flat land. There will be a shelf built of thick solid wood on the ground, and the top-grade oiled paper umbrella will be used on the shelf. Cover with a layer of translucent butter paper.Because the shelf is strong enough, it won't collapse even if you put a thick quilt on it when it's cold.

What is even more puzzling is that Xue Hong even asked to repair the Dilong.It is not the earth dragon used for one house or two houses, but the first thirty small round houses that need to be heated at the same time.A switch is also installed at the heating entrance of each room to ensure that the fire source is not wasted when there are no crops growing in some small round houses.

What is even more unbearable is that Xue Hong requested that these buildings be covered with blue bricks.My dear mother, these high-quality blue bricks cost ten yuan a piece, and ordinary people would not be willing to use them to build a house. What kind of greenhouse is Xue Hong going to use for farming?This is simply unheard of.

The craftsman said with a sad face: "Mr. Xue, I understand your drawing. Although I have never seen it before, the drawing on this drawing is reasonable. In theory, I can make the real thing according to this drawing. But if they are all built with blue bricks I'm afraid the cost of these houses is too high. I don't want to say anything else, but the blue bricks needed for this wall may cost hundreds of taels of silver, let alone other things. If it is really the case, The entire building will cost around a thousand taels of gold, this..."

The craftsman was not afraid that Xue Hong would have no money, but... this was too much of a waste of natural resources.But looking at the whole village, there are only a few families who can afford to live in large houses with blue bricks and tiles. The craftsmen doubted whether there was something wrong with Mr. Xue's mind.

Xue Hong said with a smile: "Of course I know. Could it be that I am a prodigal son? The Xue family's money was not brought by strong winds. How could I be such a disaster?"

The craftsman looked at him incredulously, and said to himself, don't you?
Xue Hong laughed again: "My greenhouses are for growing vegetables and fruits, and the heating cannot be cut off in winter. The houses with earthen houses and straw roofs can't be used as earth dragons, and heating is troublesome. Being with the fire, I was worried that it would be unsafe, so I wanted to use green bricks. But... you also said just now, those good blue bricks used to build a house only cost 10 yuan a piece, and if I want What about the inferior bricks with defects?”

"This……"

Xue Hong knew that the toughness of green bricks was actually quite good, but even the most experienced brick-burning masters could not guarantee [-]% how well the bricks would be fired before leaving the kiln. Unsatisfactory, there are some cracks on the surface or a little corner missing.

It is impossible to sell such bricks for 10 renminbi. Usually 2~3 renminbi are sold and no one buys them. Every brick kiln produces such inferior products every day. No one cares about them for a long time. They only pile up more and more. , Over time, when the bricks in the brick kiln really have no place to pile up, a batch of low-quality bricks will be smashed uniformly.

In fact, these smashed bricks just look ugly on the surface, but they don't affect the use at all.It's just that when people buy bricks to build a house, what they want is to put gold on their faces. Under the psychological influence of good face, no one buys bricks with bad appearance.

The craftsman didn't expect that Xue Hong, a kid from a rich family, knew all these things. He didn't know how to explain it for a while, but Xue Hong said: "You are a craftsman who builds houses. Naturally, you are familiar with those kilns that burn bricks in Beijing. Go and Tell them, I want all those green bricks that others don’t want, that are still strong and do not affect the building of houses. Because they are used more, I will buy them for a penny. If they are willing to sell them, you can drag them back to build houses. If you don’t want to, let them smash those bricks. There are so many brick kilns in Beijing, there will always be one who is willing to do this business with me.”

Having said that, the craftsman has completely convinced Xue Hong.It was smashed in vain, it was a waste of energy and it didn't make any money, how could it be worthwhile to sell it to Xue Hong for a penny?In these three to five times, the cost of building a house has been saved by nine tenths. I am afraid that there is no one in the world who is more calculating than Xue Hong.
