Reborn in Changbai Mountain, I rely on my divine eyes to dig ginseng and hunt

The wages of Li Daniu and Daya were all in Liu Xialian's hands. Liu Fuhong didn't know the exact amount, but this time she gave Liu Fuhong 10,000 yuan, and it was agreed that these two people had money, so they shouldn't save money.

Shandong people have two obsessions. The first is to pass the civil service exam, and the second is to build a house. Since Daniel wants to build a house, then just build it. A two-story house made of cement and red bricks costs only three or four thousand yuan. Daniel really doesn't need this little money.

Seeing that Liu Fuhong was very sure, the uncle reluctantly accepted the red envelope of 300 yuan.

Xiaoyong ran quickly with a few pounds of pork, came to the door of the kitchen, and handed the meat to his mother: "Make some stir-fried pork with mountain beans for lunch. Remember the last time we had it was last time."

"Okay, your brother Daniu has become rich, and he just gave your father three hundred dollars."

"Yeah, really? Can Brother Danniu guide me?"

"Yes, there are wild vegetables and wild animals everywhere. I'm glad you want to go, but my uncle may not agree with you. It's quite dangerous over there, with many tigers, wolves and bears."

Liu Fuhong passed out cigarettes to everyone, and the uncle shook his head: "I still prefer to smoke this pipe. Xiaoyong, go and call Li Da from the village construction team. He is an expert and can give Daniu an estimate on how to build it."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Xiaoyong ran really fast, and he used his two legs to call Li Da.

After about half an hour, with the help of Daya, my aunt cooked six dishes, including fried meat with mountain beans, edamame cooked with peppercorns, boiled peanuts in salt water, hand-shredded roast chicken, pork head with mashed garlic, and fried ham with chili peppers.

Li Da followed Xiao Yong here. This man was about the same age as Liu Fuhong, in his thirties. He was the only tractor driver and construction contractor in the village.

We ate and chatted together and had a great time.

After three rounds of drinks, the uncle got down to business and said to Li Da, "My nephew Daniu has found a wife and is getting married. He wants to rebuild the old house into a two-story bungalow with glass doors and windows and cement floors. Can you give me an estimate of how much it will cost?"

Li Da estimated: "The old house is small, eight meters wide and sixteen meters long, which means four rooms. According to the popular style in town, the first floor has a living room in the middle and bedrooms on both sides. The second floor has a living room and three bedrooms. It is actually very cost-effective to build it with floor slabs. Not counting the window glass, I estimate that 3,500 yuan will be enough."

Li Daniu pretended to be very serious. He didn't know anything about how to build a house, so Liu Fuhong should definitely discuss this matter.

"No floor slab is needed. Floor slab houses are prone to cracking and leaking. We use shell slabs to support the bottom of the reinforced concrete."

Li Da took a deep breath. There was really no such building around Lijiawopu. Most of them were old men who fooled their daughters-in-law by building a bungalow with floor slabs and marrying their daughters-in-law first.

"The poured materials will definitely be better, but they will be much more expensive. However, you can buy the materials yourself, and we will do the work and earn your wages. There is still a long time now, and the main structure can be built in three months. We will scrape cement and install windows in the spring of next year. We will take care of all the work and cook our own meals. You can leave someone to watch over the construction site and help buy any miscellaneous materials you need."

Liu Fuhong immediately asked his uncle: "Even Danniu doesn't understand these things, can you help build it?"

"Why not? I have always treated Daniu as my own son, so it must work. Just return the two acres of peanuts. I will hire someone to harvest them tomorrow and build a house specifically for Daniu."

Li Daniu took Daya's hand, and the two of them skipped to see the old house.

Liu Fuhong and Li Da began to have an in-depth discussion. They found a cigarette box paper and made a statistics on how many red bricks, cement, bluestone, etc. were needed.

Liu Fuhong immediately decided to build a house for Li Daniu, the latest style, with eight rooms in total, five bedrooms and two living rooms. He built everything up, and estimated that it would cost six or seven thousand yuan, just to let the villagers see that this house was actually uninhabitable. The main reason was that these two people had a lot of money and had to spend it.

While Li Daniu's family was discussing building a house, Zhao Daxixi was investigating the village.

Accompanied by the village head Wang himself, the group came to a bluestone mountain in the east of the village. The mountain was not high and the area was not large, covering only about 300 acres and was about six or seven meters high, like a big steamed bun made of bluestone blocking the road to the east of the village.

"Boss Zhao, this is the mountain you mentioned. Do you think this mountain is big enough for you to mine?"

Zhao Daxi frowned. This mountain was obviously much smaller than the expected famous mountains and rivers.

"This mountain doesn't look big, but if we really want to dig it flat, it will take more than ten years."

Township head Wang shook his head and said, "It's too late. The township has decided to dig it up within three years and build up the business to make it bigger and stronger."

Zhao Daxi came prepared, bringing with him experts in building materials. They used small hammers to knock and examine several stones, and came back to tell Zhao Daxi: "The whole mountain is basically made of stone, so it is very suitable for making pebbles."

Township Chief Wang said with a smile: "Since Mr. Zhao has come here, he is very sincere. The township's intention is very clear. We need to flatten the hill blocking the east as soon as possible and turn these 300 acres into endless farmland."

"If we want to finish the excavation as soon as possible, we need to invest a lot of equipment. Once the excavation is completed, what will happen to our equipment? Will there be another stone mine? After all, this place is too small. Is there any other place for mining?"

"There are plenty. As long as you are willing to invest, three or five places will not be a problem at all."

Zhao Daxi asked the accompanying expert: "If we want to mine here, what kind of equipment will we need?"

"Stones are the easiest to mine for building materials. First, blast them, break the big pieces into small pieces, and then break the small pieces into stones. That's it. But if you want to speed up the process, the investment will be huge, and equipment worth hundreds of thousands of dollars is required."

Zhao Daxi was silent after hearing this. The equipment alone cost hundreds of thousands, plus labor, housing, etc., the investment was probably no less than 200,000. Although it would be a huge profit if it succeeded, if it failed, the equipment would be wasted.

Mayor Wang pointed to the mountains in the north and said, "Mr. Zhao, do you see that? They are all rocky mountains. After the mining here is completed, the mountains over there can be mined appropriately. Then we will select the unyielding mountains to be mined and leveled."

"Let's go over and have a look."

Village head Wang followed Zhao Daxixi into the jeep and drove north for about ten miles. There were mountains one after another here, but most of them were high mountains, with an altitude of two or three hundred meters.

“Can these mountains also be excavated?”

"Yes, some local villagers are already engaged in illegal mining. The township is just pretending not to see it, but it has already grasped the situation. Now we need a large enterprise so that we can generate tax revenue."
