I am farming in the real world

Chapter 48: Cutting Open the Blocks?

Chen Jue was a little surprised when he heard that his buddy wanted to prove himself to his old man in order to realize his dream of earning gold coins.

Despite Zheng Bocheng's daily cheerful demeanor, as a second-generation rich kid from Wen City, he harbored a desire to start his own independent business.

Because the general environment in Wen City used to be like that!

Especially the post-80s and 90s generations of rural Wen City people, who were influenced from childhood at banquets and dinner tables, listening to elders praising those relatives and bosses who had succeeded in business.

Anyone who was a miserable screw-tightener would basically sit in the corner at the table and not be welcomed.

Even Chen Jue couldn't avoid it; he had a deeply rooted idea of becoming a boss since he was a child.

This is why he had previously plunged headlong into the entrepreneurial army, and then was severely taught a lesson by the pandemic.

However, using the MC system to make money and do his favorite farming business, it is estimated that he is the only one in all the heavens and myriad worlds.

......

Chen Jue stayed at Zhongbo Machinery until mid-afternoon, when he received a message from the agency saying that they had found a suitable shop for him.

With the stimulation of money, the efficiency of these real estate agent brothers sitting in the store blowing air conditioning to escape the heat has greatly improved, as if they had a buff.

After making a video call on the spot, he saw a petty-bourgeois bakery located in a corner of Binjiang Road, with an area of ​​only about 50 square meters.

The shop owner was a couple from another place, who said that their children would be going back to their hometown to study in the second half of the year and they would not be able to take care of the shop, so they planned to transfer it.

Chen Jue didn't care about these casually fabricated reasons for subletting, but looked at the storefront layout and felt that the small shop was square and very MC, so he made an appointment to visit in the evening.

When he arrived at the scene in a truck for an inspection, he found that the location of the small shop was relatively remote, stuck at the corner of a small alley and Binjiang Road. Once it got dark, it was pitch black, and even the street lights didn't shine much.

Although it was backed by a high-end residential area, it was far from the main entrance. There was little foot traffic, and there was no normal parking in front of the door, so it was no wonder the business couldn't get off the ground.

"This is a prime location?"

Chen Jue couldn't help but laugh after seeing the actual site. You can't believe half a word of these agents' lies.

Fortunately, he didn't have particularly high requirements for the location of Chen Ji's Secret Roasted Chicken shop, as long as it was on Binjiang Road.

So, with the help of the agency, Chen Jue negotiated with the young couple who owned the bakery, and finally took over the small storefront for an annual rent of 150,000 yuan, plus a 30,000 yuan transfer fee.

Chen Jue didn't need the baking equipment and decoration in the store. After signing the contract and paying the money neatly, he ordered the real estate agent brothers who had earned commissions to help keep an eye on it and try to complete the demolition and clearing within a week.

"Brother, don't worry!"

"It won't take a week. I'll call a few people over tomorrow to help clear it out. At the latest, you can enter the site with peace of mind the day after tomorrow," the real estate agent brother happily guaranteed.

......

Chen Jue was in a great mood that the No. 1 store, which he thought would take some time to finalize, was completed so smoothly.

He went to a seafood restaurant nearby for a delicious meal, and after night fell, he went to inspect the three street promotion locations.

After a period of tasting and promotion, Chen Ji's Secret Roasted Chicken has become completely famous in the Binjiang Road area.

As soon as Tie Yigang unloaded the stall car from the truck, many foodies who had come especially had already gathered nearby.

Some were tasting, some were scanning the QR code.

In less than half an hour, under the enthusiastic promotion of Zhao Xiaoguang and the other two, the 50 roasted chickens that each stall brought were once again snapped up by people queuing up, limited to one per person.

Seeing this, Chen Jue went to buy some ice cream and soda, encouraged the part-time students, and announced the news that the new store was about to be completed.

When Zhao Xiaoguang and the others heard that they might not need to set up stalls on the street anymore, but could work part-time in the store with air conditioning, they were also very excited.

After setting up stalls these days, these students with relatively difficult family conditions have realized the power of Chen Ji's Secret Roasted Chicken.

They felt that following Chen Jue, a generous boss, was very promising, and everyone wanted to be the No. 1 employee in the new store.

"The No. 1 employee is your Iron Brother, so don't compete."

"However, after the store opens, I will appropriately increase your salary and benefits. It may be busier at that time, and the working hours will also be longer, so you must be mentally prepared."

Chen Jue smiled and threw out the temptation of a salary increase, which immediately mobilized the enthusiasm of the three students.

......

It was another night of lightning-fast closing of the stalls.

Seeing that the number of people in the newly opened No. 2 fan group had surged again, Chen Jue knew that the current popularity was enough to support the turnover of Chen Ji's No. 1 store.

But before that, he still had many things to arrange.

On the way back to Chen Village after closing the stall, he first called Zhang Fan of Caidie Advertising and asked him to create a retro store signboard based on the previous trademark design, and also help spray paint both trucks.

Because Chen Jue's main business direction in the future will be on 'Chen Ji', letting two van trucks run around the street can increase exposure to some extent.

When the Xiaobai truck returned to the bakery with a large pile of decoration materials the next evening, the equipment and cabinets inside had been emptied and cleaned by the moving company.

The only things left were the stove in the back kitchen, the tiles on the walls, and the wooden floor.

The real estate agent brother who was in charge of keeping an eye on the place was shocked when he saw that Chen Jue, the tenant, had actually brought several tall and strong young men over.

He thought that his work service was not in place and had angered the tenant brother, so he weakly asked: "Brother, what's going on?"

Chen Jue grinned and said: "These are all my employees, here to help clear out and decorate. Give me the key, and we'll take care of the rest ourselves."

The real estate agent brother saw that the young men behind him were neatly taking hammers, electric picks, cutting machines, and plastering knives used by bricklayers from the truck, and suddenly realized: "So they are all brothers who work on construction sites! No wonder they all look so strong!"

This brother originally wanted to introduce Chen Jue to a contractor from a decoration company.

After all, the basic salary of these real estate agents is very low, and they mainly make money by commissions and referral fees.

When they encounter customers who transfer storefronts, they will tell the contractors they know and secretly eat some decoration kickbacks.

He didn't expect that Chen Jue brought his own construction team over, looking like he had a great background.

So the real estate agent brother obediently handed over the key, chatted with Chen Jue for a few words, and ran away.

Seeing that the unimportant people had already left, Chen Jue ordered Tie Yi and the others to unload all the materials they had purchased from the building materials market during the day from the truck.

He hung up the common decoration shielding cloth outside the small shop, and pulled down the rolling shutter door inside.

After inspecting the store and confirming that there were no surveillance cameras, Chen Jue took out a [Stone Pickaxe] and started construction with the Iron Golems.

Dong dong dong ~ He first chiseled open the ground, digging out all the old wooden floor and the cement blocks underneath, avoiding the area of ​​the toilet, fearing that he would dig out the sewer pipes.

After that, he refilled the dug-out spaces with the [Cement Blocks] newly cast in the underground base.

This digging and filling took less than half a minute to clean the entire store floor.

The remaining protrusions such as the back kitchen stove were also smashed by Chen Jue with the [Stone Pickaxe] in a carpet-like manner.

The only thing that was a little troublesome was the tiles on the walls.

Because this thing was too thin, along with the wall behind it, it couldn't be dug directly with the MC pickaxe.

Digging a 1 cubic meter block at a time, unexpectedly connecting to the next door in the middle of the night, how scary would that be?

So Chen Jue asked Tie Yi and the others to try out the tools that decoration workers must have in human form.

Unexpectedly, it was very easy to use, and these iron fools were like natural plasterers.

In less than ten minutes, they scraped the wall clean!

They also happily used scrapers and sandpaper to carefully polish the walls, leaving a bare, square store layout.

"Well done!"

Chen Jue grinned when he saw that the cement-colored walls were almost like mirrors that could reflect people's faces.

He ordered the iron fools to decorate the inside and outside of the store according to the facade design given by Zhang Fan, using the purchased building materials.

He himself found a corner, took out a [Hackberry Log] and placed it on the ground.

Originally, Chen Jue planned to use this [Hackberry Log] to synthesize some [Hackberry Planks], and then use the planks to synthesize [Pressure Plates] or [Wooden Stairs] in MC, to see if he could use these pixel items to decorate like building a house in the game.

But after experiencing the scene of the iron fools using real earthwork tools just now.

Chen Jue suddenly had an inspiration, took a woodworking saw, and sawed down along the edge of the [Hackberry Log] bit by bit.

After a square solid wood board was cut off, Chen Jue immediately held up the wooden board with one side exceptionally smooth and the other side slightly rough and carefully observed it.

A line of MC subtitles followed: [Hackberry Wood Chip: Cannot replace the original wood block or plank, can be used as fuel or decoration.]

Chen Jue stared at the unique wood grain on this light-colored [Hackberry Wood Chip], and never expected that the MC block would look like this when cut open with real tools.

Surprisingly, there was no sense of pixel-style incongruity!

So Chen Jue held up the [Hackberry Wood Chip] and slapped it on the wall with a thud. He even saved the adhesive and naturally adhered to the wall.

This surprised Chen Jue pleasantly: "What's the need for wooden floors and wall panels? Just use this!"
