Reborn as the twin sister of the male protagonist with her mortal enemy
Chapter 51: Building the Wall
Zheng Juzi said, "The book says that it takes about one or two months to build two floors, but the specific construction efficiency, materials, and weather conditions vary from country to country, so there should be differences, right? Also, I see that the terrain of each country is different, so the time should also be different. I can only ask experts like you."
It seems that the book really exists. Ma Guoming felt reassured and said, "Don't worry, there is no problem with your foundation. Just add two rooms. Just hire more people and it will be ready in a few days. After the lime is applied and dried for a few days, people can live in it."
"I can take care of the bricks, tiles and wood for your family, but you have to figure out the window glass yourself."
The things we can produce ourselves are cheap, but glass is still a bit expensive and Ma Guoming can't afford it.
Zheng Juzi said: "No problem, thank you Uncle Ma."
In the past few years, when people in the countryside built houses, they usually just treated them to a meal with wine and meat. Now, in addition to the meal, you have to pay wages, usually two dollars a day.
Zheng Juzi originally thought that few people would be willing to do the physical work in such hot weather. However, as soon as the news got out, more than ten people came to his house looking for work.
Of course, speed was required, and Zheng Juzi, who was wealthy, invited all of them at once.
They have to wait until tomorrow to use all of them, otherwise there is no way to prepare meals for so many people. Moreover, steel bars have to be prepared for the stability of the wall. Ma Guoming is willing to give them some building materials until tomorrow.
Is it necessary to hire so many people just to build a wall? Isn't the wall built crooked?
Zheng Guixiang felt that his daughter was still inexperienced, and said, "It's not that more people will do the trick. Too many people and chaos will only do harm."
Zheng Juzi has seen houses being built many times, but he doesn't know how to do it himself. He said, "I just want to get the job done once someone is willing to do it."
Zheng Guixiang: "What else do you have left? You hire six people to build the wall, and it will take at most a day and a half. The rest of the work to build the house will also take a few days. What else do you have left?"
Zheng Juzi said: "Dig a toilet."
"What?" Zheng Guixiang was even more confused, "Don't we have a toilet at home?"
Zheng Juzi: "Our toilet is too dirty."
Zheng Guixiang almost laughed out of anger, "Is our toilet dirty? Take Uncle Tiedan's toilet in front for example. It's just a mud house covered with grass, and the inside is also mud. They just piled up two stones from the mountain, and it's not even level."
In comparison, their toilet is already very exquisite.
Zheng Hanqiu was even more anxious than Zheng Juzi and said, "Dad, we'll pay for it. You'll know when the time comes."
Zheng Guixiang... is he showing off just because he has some money?!
I heard that he bought a haunted house in the city!
Maybe people from the same family would stick together.
When Zheng Guixiang was a child, he would hide in a small house in the mountains when it rained while herding cattle in the mountains. He then heard many people say that someone had died in the house and that there must be ghosts inside, so he became afraid.
He knew that people had died there. A widower had died there before. It was fine after hiding from the rain a few times, but he became less afraid when he later found out that someone was trading in there for materials that were banned at the time.
He even got a chance to make a fortune by chance.
So who won’t die? Cheap is the hard truth.
It's just that the daughter is too generous with her money, and the old father is a little anxious.
Why are you in such a hurry? How can you have the motivation to continue making money if you don’t spend it?
Not only did the two sisters have to dig a toilet at home, they also planned to build a toilet in the house in town.
The town now has water and electricity, but only a few homes have toilets. Every unit has its own public toilet, and every street has its own public toilet. Most of them are dry toilets. In Zheng Guixiang's opinion, they are not much better than his own home.
"Dad, let's discuss something." Zheng Juzi said.
Zheng Guixiang straightened his back. He felt nervous because he was even "negotiating" with him. "Are you asking me to be your guarantor again?"
"No." Zheng Juzi smiled adorably, like a good girl. "I heard that the farm had a lot of pig manure that couldn't be processed, so I thought of a way to deal with it."
Pig manure? Zheng Guixiang stopped being nervous and became annoyed. “It’s not that no one wants it, it’s just that it’s hard to get.”
Zheng Guixiang stopped farming when he started the breeding farm. In the beginning, he gave crops to whoever wanted them. Later, as too many people wanted them, it became difficult to handle the situation.
Especially since his brothers' families are all farming, they all need pig manure.
He wants to make a fuss because he gave the money to others but not to his family.
He wants to make a fuss because he gives different amounts to his family members.
They gave me the same amount, but today I came to pick one and it wasn't available, so I'm still making a fuss.
A bunch of troubles made his family dislike him. He was not liked by Old Lady Zheng to begin with, and he was even more excluded when he made more money but lived better than his brothers.
In the end he gave nothing to anyone, and the accumulation of pig manure became a new problem.
After saying this, Zheng Guixiang said, "Do you understand now? This matter is not that simple."
Zheng Juzi thought it was very simple. "We have hired people now, right? We provide meals but no wages. Each person can go to the farm to pick up a certain amount of pig manure. We are worried about the pile-up and the lack of people. We can just make the appointment time public and it will be done."
It not only saves money, but also solves the problem of accumulated pig manure. Just think of it as wages for the workers, not free money. Those who want it for free will have no excuse.
At present, chemical fertilizers used in the fields still have to be purchased with coupons, and sometimes even if you have money you can't buy them. This kind of farm manure is a treasure in everyone's eyes and it can indeed attract some people.
Building a fence for the farm is not a big deal, but the bricks used are special. Many people come to watch, and naturally they know about it, and more people want to work for them.
With strength in numbers, the foundation was quickly laid and the steel bars were set up. The experienced bricklayers even worked very fast with hollow bricks.
Everyone saw that one hollow brick was equivalent to the volume of many solid bricks, and the wall was built in half the time than expected.
No one can tell whether it is strong or not, but judging from the surface, there is nothing wrong with it.
Ma Guoming breathed a sigh of relief, and then he felt like he could make a lot of money again.
Zheng Guixiang also thought it was okay.
When the farm was small, a small area was built. Now it has been expanded and there is a protruding part, but the outer wall is not connected. He is afraid that the pigs will be stolen when he sleeps at night, so he has to bring people to guard it personally to feel at ease.
The wall has been built to enclose the area, and we can just leave one person to take turns to keep watch at night.
Of course Zheng Juzi had to go in and take a look.
Although Zheng Guixiang is sometimes the patriarch and sometimes easy to deceive, he really knows how to raise pigs to become a large pig farmer, and he keeps his pigpen in perfect order.
The big pigs, small pigs and nursery pigs are all properly arranged.
Zheng Juzi didn't see any safety hazards, but the pig manure pond was so full that it was about to clump and needed to be cleaned in time.
Although it was not as smelly as she had imagined, Zheng Hanqiu felt uncomfortable seeing a group of pigs that ate without wiping their mouths baring their fangs at her, especially the one next to her, who kept humming at her.
