Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

After staying at Shang Zhirong's house for an hour, He Yuzhu left Shang Zhirong's house and returned to Wu Baotian's house. After He Yuzhu had dinner and washed up, he went out of Wu Baotian's house on the pretext of going out for a walk, found a relatively secluded corner in the alley, and entered the blessed land.

As the vegetation in the blessed land and cave heaven increased, the area of ​​bare wasteland and barren mountains gradually decreased. He Yuzhu noticed that the air temperature in the blessed land and cave heaven was a little lower than at the beginning. He felt it was about 32 degrees before, but now it is about 30 degrees. Moreover, the air is not only fresher than before, but also a little more humid.

As time passed, He Yuzhu got to know more about Fudi Dongtian. As a result, he found a covered entrance to a cave at the foot of a hill in Fudi Dongtian. He Yuzhu was able to find the entrance to the cave by coincidence. He Yuzhu planned to make some adobe bricks, but he dug out the cave entrance covered by mud while digging.

As soon as He Yuzhu entered the cave, he felt a gust of cool air blowing towards him. He Yuzhu observed the situation in the cave and found that there were stones on both sides of the cave. He Yuzhu turned around and returned to the Wuji Hall to pick up the lantern he had bought before and lit the wick with a match. He Yuzhu walked in with the lantern. As he went deeper step by step, He Yuzhu realized that the terrain of the cave was going down diagonally. After walking about 20 meters in, the space suddenly became larger. He Yuzhu held the lantern and looked around. The shape of the cave was like a wine bottle. After the 20-meter entrance, there was a long belly. The area of ​​the cave was about 1000 square meters. He Yuzhu felt the coolness in the cave and felt that it was a natural refrigerator. He could make sausages and dry them in the shade in this cave in the future.

He Yuzhu sat on the enlightenment stone to empty his mind, and after his mind was calm, he began to practice Xingyiquan. With daily practice, He Yuzhu's understanding of Xingyiquan became deeper and deeper. In the words of Shang Zhirong, He Yuzhu has a very good talent, and as long as he does not give up halfway and is willing to persevere, He Yuzhu's Xingyiquan will be perfected in 5 years at most.

After practicing Xingyiquan, He Yuzhu looked at the barren mountains and wondered what to plant. When the bamboo roots arrived, he would plant bamboo on a mountain. He believed that within a few years, the whole mountain would become a bamboo forest. By then, there would be no shortage of firewood, and bamboo could be used to weave some bamboo utensils. He Yuzhu suddenly remembered that when he took his sister Yushui to Shichahai today, the cypress trees he saw by the lake had begun to produce seeds. He could use the time when Fengze Garden was closed every afternoon to pick some cypress seeds, and then plant a patch directly. When the cypress seedlings grow up, it is estimated that they will cover the entire mountain in 2-3 years.

He Yuzhu thought about it and decided to buy huanghuali seeds and plant all the remaining barren hills with huanghuali. He is only 12 years old now. After the reform and opening up, the huanghuali trees he planted will be at least 30 years old. By then, they will be tree-shaped gold bricks. If he dares to plant them until he is 20 or 30 years old, each one will be worth millions. If he plants to , he will be worth hundreds of billions. With such high assets, he is definitely a top Chinese tycoon. He can fill in the infinite pits of Xu Bei. In the words of Master Nie, he can make hundreds of billions of dollars if he suffers losses. With such a big pattern, he will make tens of trillions of dollars when he makes money. Hearing the applause, He Yuzhu seemed to hear a BGM, and his hands clapped involuntarily, and his body swayed. A gust of wind blew, and He Yuzhu woke up instantly. Looking at his waving hands, He Yuzhu could not help but sigh: "Nie Xiao is worthy of being the top grandmaster on DouLe. Even after traveling through time, he can still be affected. Master Nie's skills are probably not inferior to those of a saint in prehistoric novels."

He Yuzhu ran to his vegetable garden, picked two cucumbers, and took a big bite without washing them. His mouth was full of the taste of cucumbers. Top-grade green organic vegetables were much better than the cucumbers grown in greenhouses in later generations that rarely see the sun. After eating, He Yuzhu washed his hands, and after leaving the blessed land, he returned to his master Wu Baotian's home.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day agreed with Dashan to pick up the goods from the vegetable market. During this period, there was no news of the theft in Xu Tieying's house at the police station. It seemed that Director Xu did not report the case. He Yuzhu took advantage of the afternoon break to run to the vegetable market and handed the pick-up note to Dashan. Dashan asked him to wait for a while. Dashan went out and came back a few minutes later and handed him a bag. "Here, this is the fresh bamboo root you want. Each root is more than one foot long. It's not worth much. It's mainly because it's difficult to bring it back alive from the south."

He Yuzhu opened his pocket and took a look. It was indeed very fresh. He hadn't even looked at the soil on it. It was obvious that it had just been dug out of the soil. It was probably transported from the south and buried in the soil by the people in the vegetable market. "Thank you, Brother Shan. You go ahead and I won't bother you." After saying that, He Yuzhu left the vegetable market with the bag. When he reached a deserted place, he flashed directly into the blessed land. He Yuzhu carried the bag in one hand and the shovel in the other. There was a wooden barrel hanging on the top of the shovel. He walked towards the two mountains. In order to distinguish them easily, He Yuzhu was very enthusiastic to give each mountain a name. There were a total of 9 mountains in the blessed land, so the names of these nine mountains were: one mountain, two mountains... nine mountains.

In order to save time and effort, He Yuzhu didn't have to worry about transplanting in the future. He planted a bamboo root every few dozen meters from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, half of which were planted on the south side of the mountain and half on the north side of the mountain. After He Yuzhu planted all the bamboo roots, he carried a bucket and watered each bamboo root with half a bucket of water. Fortunately, there is a mountain spring on each mountain, otherwise He Yuzhu would run to death. After watering, He Yuzhu put the bucket in Wuji Hall and found the house deed of Zhao Changchuan's family in Qudeng Hutong. After paying 20 Yuan Datou, He Yuzhu finally got the news of Zhao Changchuan's family. When the Japanese invaded Beijing in 37, Zhao Changchuan went all the way south to avoid the war, and finally followed the Central Committee of the Skinhead Party to Chongqing. As a result, when the Japanese bombed Chongqing in 41, the family did not come and ran to the air-raid shelter and were killed.

After He Yuzhu learned the news, he felt sad for Zhao Changchuan's family. After making sure that Zhao Changchuan's family would not come back, He Yuzhu decided to find someone from the brokerage to help transfer the house to himself. Today was the auspicious day for He Yuzhu to look for the transfer according to the old almanac. He Yuzhu came to the brokerage firm that had been agreed upon before, found the broker of the brokerage firm, and handed the house deed to the broker. The broker took He Yuzhu to the registry office to apply for a new private real estate registration certificate. He Yuzhu spent a total of 5 yuan to get the new private real estate registration certificate. The broker's agency fee was 4 yuan, and the deed tax was 1 yuan. He Yuzhu not only lamented that the intermediaries in the Republic of China were really wicked. It was not as the proverb said that cars, ships, shops, feet, and teeth should be killed even if they were innocent.

He Yuzhu asked the agent to help find a few masons to repair the house. The agent asked him to go back to Qudeng Hutong and wait. He would arrange for someone to go there after he returned. On the way back, He Yuzhu passed by the coffin shop and bought some paper money. He also found a grocery store and bought 10 locks. He Yuzhu returned to Zhao Changchuan's home in Qudeng Hutong. He Yuzhu opened the lock on the gate with wire and squatted in the yard to burn the paper money.

"Uncle Zhao, the damned Japanese devils have been driven away, and your family's revenge has been taken. You can just rest in peace and be reborn. Since I got your house by chance, I will burn paper for your family every year from now on."

The burning paper was suddenly blown up by a strong wind, and it seemed as if it was saying something to He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu looked at the scene in front of him.

"It seems that you agree. Please rest assured that I will keep my promise and burn it for you every year in the future."

After the paper was burned, He Yuzhu opened the locks of all the houses and looked at the thick layer of dirt in every room. Just as He Yuzhu was standing in the yard thinking about how to repair the house, he heard someone shouting at the door. He Yuzhu walked outside the gate and saw a man in his forties or fifties standing at the door. Before He Yuzhu could say anything, the other party spoke first.

"I heard from Mr. Liu from the dental office that you just bought this house and plan to renovate it. I am the mason introduced by Mr. Liu."

"Well, I told Master Liu that I was planning to renovate this house. You guys came quite quickly. This house has been uninhabited for a long time. If it is not renovated, it will be uninhabitable." He Yuzhu said as he led the mason into the yard.

"Excuse me, how do you weigh it? I'd like to trouble you to take care of this house."

"My last name is Lei, you can call me Master Lei."

When He Yuzhu heard him say his surname was Lei, he was moved. Could it be the legendary Yangshi Lei?

"May I ask if you are the one who built the Forbidden City with the style of Lei?"

"You're too polite. We are all friends in the martial arts world who respect us. I'm just calling you that." Yangshi Lei didn't expect that He Yuzhu, who looked young, knew about his own business.

"Master Lei, you are too modest. You can even build the Forbidden City, so my courtyard is a piece of cake for you. As you can see, first of all, we need to rebuild the courtyard wall. I don't know who picked up the fallen bricks. Please check the roofs of these rooms to see if there are any leaks. Replace any damaged parts. There is not much furniture in the house. I guess the previous owner sold it. There is nothing to clean in the house, so you can start right away. Scrape off the wall and repaint it. You can even paint it white."

"I also want to tear down the gate in the yard and rebuild it. The current gate is a bit narrow. I want to make it wider. There is a road in front of the gate. I want to be able to pull a flatbed truck directly into the yard in the future. I plan to make the gate 7 feet wide, then tear down a section of the walls on both sides, build steps in the middle of the gate and make slopes on both sides for pulling trucks."

"As for the latrine in the southwest corner, I also plan to make some changes. I plan to dig a pit on the north side of the latrine, build a pool with blue bricks around the pit, and build two walls with bricks inside the pool to divide it into three pools. Leave two openings between the pools, insert a pipe in the opening, and the second opening of the two openings should be lower than the first. When the first pool is full, it will flow into the second pool through the first pipe, and when the second pool is full, it will flow into the third pool through the second pipe. The pipes are also made of ceramic pipes. The pools are covered with stone slabs and then covered with a layer of soil. There should be a feces opening on each pool. The width of the three pools is 3 feet and the depth is 5 and a half feet. The first pool is 2 feet long, the second pool is 1 feet long, and the third pool is foot long. I plan to make a toilet pit similar to that in the West in the latrine. After squatting on it to urinate or defecate, you can directly flush it with water. The feces will flow directly into the pool outside through the pipe on the ground. Wait, I will give you a blueprint and see if you can find someone to burn it."

"Also, I have some ideas about this window. The winter in Peking is quite cold. Can you please replace this window with double-glazed one? As for the house, could you please make some partitions between these rooms and install a door later? As for the roof, I want to hang a ceiling with wooden boards and make it into a loft. I can then build a staircase and store some sundries on it. The ear room on the easternmost side was originally the kitchen. The stove inside was removed and a new one was built. I'll give you the drawings later. I want to pave the floor in this room. Do you have anything good to recommend?" After He Yuzhu finished speaking, he took out a wood stove of the future that he had drawn a long time ago from his pocket and handed it to Yangshi Lei.

"How do you want to pave the floor? The simplest way is to replace the original bricks with new ones. The more advanced way is to use granite slabs, but it will be a bit expensive. The windows are easy. I know a carpenter. Just ask him to come and take a look. It's nothing more than using more glass." After saying this, Yangshi Lei took the drawings handed over by He Yuzhu and took a look at them.

"You can fix this stove, but when you build it, you need to buy the pot first, and you need to use cement."

"So how much would it cost to pave the yard with the granite slabs you mentioned?"

Yangshi Lei looked at the house and thought for a while, "You also know that the French currency has depreciated too much now, and the price changes every day. We do this to earn some hard-earned money, so if you can pay with silver dollars, I roughly calculated your house. Not to mention the repair of the roof, the use of granite slabs to pave the floor, these houses and the new doors will cost at least 100 silver dollars. As for the roof, you have to go up and see how much it will cost. As for the window partitions you mentioned, you have to ask the carpenter to come and take a look before you can give a price. As for the ceramic pieces you mentioned, I looked at the drawings and they don't seem complicated and can be fired. It's just that the price needs to be seen by the kiln master. However, although these things in your drawings look simple, they are very practical. Your design is very clever."

"Okay, then use granite slabs to pave the house. I don't have time to stay here all the time. I can only come to check on it every afternoon. I'll trouble you to take care of it. I'll give you 20 silver dollars first. I'll give you the remaining 80 silver dollars when I come back tomorrow afternoon. You can only take care of yourselves with the craftsmen for meals. I'll give you one silver dollar a week for food. I just hope you can hurry up and repair the house as soon as possible."

Yangshi Lei took the 20 silver dollars from He Yuzhu and said, "You are too polite. Just leave the work to me and rest assured. If there is any mistake, just come to me. One silver dollar a week is enough for food expenses. Just focus on your business."

"This is the key to the new lock I bought. When you come tomorrow, if I'm not here, just open the door and come in. I won't keep you any longer. You go back and prepare your things. I'll clean up here." After He Yuzhu saw Yangshi Lei off, he walked around a few rooms. There were only a few broken stools in the room. In the spirit of not wasting, He Yuzhu put the stools into the blessed land cave. At least he could use them for cooking. After putting away the broken stools, He Yuzhu left Qudeng Hutong and returned to his master Wu Baotian's home.
