Song Tan Jishi

Song Tan originally had good intentions, but who would have thought that just after the news spread, the workers would not do anything.

 “If you don’t go, I won’t go, I won’t go…”

 “I won’t go either…”

 “I’d better go home, I haven’t been back since March!”

 Everyone said in unison, which made Lao Xu stunned.

“What’s the matter with you guys? In previous years, you wouldn’t even want to go home early, and you still want to take on another job until the end of the year. Now there may be a job building roads at the door, so why aren’t you willing to do it?”

 Lao Xu thought to himself: "You think the salary is too low, right?"

Road builders are now doing odd jobs. It is true that the salary is not high, but don’t they still take care of the food? It's okay to make some money.

 Everyone who goes to the construction site these days is doing it to make money.

 Lao Xu thought he was very considerate, but the workers still shook their heads, especially Zhou Dayong, who only came in October.

Although he has only been working for a month, because of his good performance, he has decided to continue with Lao Xu next year.

And this month because of working overtime, I earned more than 10,000 yuan! He was tired, but he ate well, slept well, and his face was rosy and fleshy. He really wished he would be doing this kind of work next year.

 At this moment, my speech is quite direct:

“The foreman on the road there is a scumbag, and I don’t know how he got this job. He said he was provided with three meals a day, but everyone’s wages have dropped compared to previous years.”

“And those fans...Xu Tou, let me show you the photos—”

 He took out his mobile phone and scrolled through them one by one.

 “Look at this shot by my brother.”

“The day before yesterday I had stir-fried potatoes, yesterday I had stewed potato cubes, and today I had cabbage and tofu stewed…”

It’s a good thing that the people in their section don’t do much physical work. Otherwise, with this kind of food, I would be unable to walk even after three days of eating.

 Lao Xu:…

To be honest, when Lao Xu first worked as a contractor in his early years, didn’t all construction sites of all sizes eat this kind of food?

It’s a bit harder, but it’s okay.

“It looks oily, but it’s quite oily...”

They are both contractors, and Lao Xu struggled to win respect for his colleagues.

“What!” Everyone at the construction site is not a fool: “When cooking, the vegetables are simmered. Before taking them out of the pot, pour some oil on them and stir them a few times. Won’t they become oily?”

If you eat two big bowls of this kind of food at one meal, you should be flustered or soft-hearted while working. You are not hungry at all!

Unlike Master Jiang in their mountain canteen, every meal is served with meat and vegetables, both meat and vegetables. Occasionally if there is no big meat, shredded pork is indispensable.

 If you want to eat something refreshing, there is something refreshing; if you want to eat something rich, there is something rich.

Not to mention anything else, it is the soup that must be included in every meal, from seaweed and egg drop soup to tomato soup, to luffa and egg soup, pumpkin soup, and old cowpea rice can be peeled out and made into soup!

  Not to mention pork ribs with corn, radish stew, wax gourd bacon...

There are only so many ways to make a soup, and the wages will be paid when the time comes. Everyone is fat and strong, and their wallets are bulging... Nowadays, from frugality to luxury, who can still value the food of road construction!

After hearing this, Lao Xu felt his heart thump.

broken! The treatment this year is too good, but it will be difficult to manage the team next year. He was quick-thinking and urged at this moment: "Okay, if you don't want to do it, just buy the ticket and try to buy one for the same time period. I will arrange the village pass to take you to the station."

　　Go back and eat the food at home first. Then you will know that it takes good luck once in ten years to have such food as the old Song family!

  After all, the cooking skills in my family may be high or low, and the ingredients may be good or bad. If the cooks were a little busier and more perfunctory...

 Hey! It’s not that he, Lao Xu, doesn’t look down on your craftsmanship, it’s just that he travels all over the country, sometimes looking for food to eat in order to take on projects, just to make people happy...

 But I have never encountered Master Jiang’s craftsmanship and conscience!

 After all, even Master Qian cannot just use his craftsmanship casually when dining in Changleju!

 As for next year…

Lao Xu thought to himself that there were three small apartments built in the old Song family mountain. Could he not know how difficult it is to go through the procedures for such houses these days?

 The old Song family must be playing a big game!

 At that time, it will not be a problem to launch a township enterprise casually.

By then everyone in the village will be rich, and the quality and layout of the houses of the old Song family will be displayed here. If he can’t get the big projects, won’t he be able to get the ones with small families?

If we can pick up three or five households at once, and go to the village to take advantage of the popularity of the old Song family to form a group to build houses, etc., then there will be new developments in villages and towns across the country...

　　His!

When he is middle -aged, he can also turn this wealth?

Thinking of this, Lao Xu became more and more confident. When he turned to eat, he asked Song Tan: "Your house is equipped with a water heater, air conditioner, etc., and there are also furniture and furnishings. Do you need someone to keep an eye on it?"

He knows everything about building a house and the initial decoration, but he is lacking in details. If he wants to take on this kind of village work in the future, he will have to actually do it...

 Isn’t this a great opportunity?

Song Tan thought for a while: "That's no money!"

Old Xu waved his hand generously: "What kind of money are you asking for? Isn't that a poor person? I have to wait here for the old man's house to be built anyway..."

I have to talk to Zhao Fangyuan again when I have time. Apart from anything else, in the future, I need this girl to build a house, package, repair, furniture and appliances.

 If nothing else, Zhao Fangyuan is really good at bargaining! No worse than her drawing ability!

Lao Xu was making plans, but Song Tan was a hands-off shopkeeper and directly handed over the arrangement of the house to Zhang Yanping.

He must be her cousin. When he was first brought back, to be honest, it seemed that he was tall and strong-boned and could plow fields.

 But in practical use...

To put it simply, Zhang Yanping would die if he did it twice. But if you only need to use your brain and your mouth, then arrange a thousand things for him, and he can do it!

Song Tan thought about it and suddenly asked: "Brother Yan Ping, why don't I share a room with you? Otherwise, when we talk about partners later, what will you do if you are shy when there are so many people at home?"

Zhang Yanping was happy: "Are you quite good at worrying? Okay, let's come to a room."

It doesn't matter whether he has a house or not. What's important is that if his mother comes over one day, he has a place to hide.

Not only him, but also Mr. Wu Leixin. After all, no matter how free Song Tan's family is, having an extra room will always make them more prepared.

Qiaoqiao suddenly raised her hand: "Can you give Aunt Lianhua a room? My uncle is not good to her. If there is a quarrel when he comes back, she will have a place to live."

Qiaoqiao gestured: "If you quarrel, you must have a place to live, otherwise it will be miserable if it rains heavily. This is what my mother watched on TV yesterday."

That sister had a quarrel with her boyfriend and was told to get out, so she dragged her suitcase out into the rain on the street, crying while getting soaked in the rain. How pitiful!

 Update 1.

As a reader reminded me, the seven-story dormitory has no qualifications (I thought the qualifications were too simple) and it has been changed to a three-story dormitory! Thank you all! Compare your heart!

 If there is anything I haven’t changed before, please remind me if you see it!
