Chapter 267 Shopping Center Construction Begins
When the two craftsmen saw that what they took out was actually paper, they took it respectfully and unfolded it carefully.
At a glance, the two were shocked.
"Is this a house? Can people live here?" a craftsman asked doubtfully.
"Yes, we live in a house like this now. It is very convenient. My nephew will come to explain it to you in detail when the construction starts."
"Okay, but I don't know what material the wood should be made of?" asked another craftsman.
Craftsmen of this era would bring their own people, tools and materials when they took a job.
The cooperation is achieved only after the price and payment method are agreed upon with the employer.
However, the house that the Gu family wanted to build was a cement brick house, and this kind of material was not available on the market yet, so the two craftsmen were in a dilemma.
"Masters, don't worry. We will provide the materials ourselves and you only need to provide the manpower. We will also tell you how to build it when the time comes." Gu Dajiang said.
The two craftsmen looked at each other after hearing this, and the older one said, "Boss Gu, since you provide both the skills and the materials, we will charge you for your labor."
Gu Dajiang would not let the craftsmen suffer, so he said: "You are experienced people, I would not dare to use ordinary people.
In this case, we pay for the materials ourselves, so we will deduct this part of the cost, and you can calculate the rest as usual."
The two felt that the Gu family was at a loss and were about to refute.
Then Gu Dajiang said, "I understand your intentions, but you should also think about your disciples.
This is a new type of house, so it will take a lot of effort. Just do as I say."
……
The two sides agreed on the wages, treatment and construction time, and signed the contract in front of King Li. Gu Dajiang then took a copy of the contract and said goodbye to King Li.
As soon as I walked out of the yard, I saw my eldest nephew.
Looking at his nephew who had recovered as usual, Gu Dajiang smiled and nodded, saying, "Let's go, let's go back first."
"Yes, second uncle." Gu Ji saw his second uncle and remembered the embarrassment just now, and responded somewhat uncomfortably.
When they returned to the store, Gu Fu was sitting there quietly eating snacks.
The two of them talked to Gu Fu and Miao about the progress of the matter and the construction time. Of course, they omitted the fact that Gu Ji was questioned repeatedly by King Li.
Gu Fu put out two more boxes of tools. "Uncle, brother, keep these tools as backup. Go and see if you need anything else.
I will be back to the valley in the evening. If you need anything, please tell me now."
After hearing this, the two of them hurried to the location where the cement and bricks were placed to take a look.
After Gu Ji looked carefully, he found that nothing was missing and that his sister had prepared everything very well. Then he came back and sent his sister away.
Gu Fu said: "Second uncle Fu'er will go back first. If you need anything or need anything, just call Fu'er and he will deliver it to you."
"Okay, then second uncle would like to thank my Fu'er first. Please be careful on your way back." Gu Dajiang said.
"Okay, don't worry." Gu Fu waved goodbye to his family, sat on Daidai's back, and Daidai took off on the spot, flying straight into the sky.
It was so fast that no one was alarmed.
"Is the speed of our Daidai getting faster and faster?" asked Gu Dajiang.
……
On the day of work, the master craftsman came early in the morning with his apprentices and fellow apprentices.
"Now you are here, breakfast is almost ready. Let's eat first, then we can start working." Gu Dajiang greeted everyone.
Unexpectedly, the Gu family also provided meals, and everyone shook their heads and waved their hands to refuse.
The older craftsman said, "We have already taken advantage of you in terms of wages, and we absolutely cannot eat this breakfast."
"Yes, Mr. Gu, you tell us how to do it, let's start now." Everyone responded.
They all got up early in the morning and rushed to their master's/fellow disciples' houses without having eaten breakfast.
At this time, I saw several tables filled with big white steamed buns in the Gu family’s yard.
There were steamed buns as white as snow, and dishes and soup served in stainless steel bowls.
They all felt hungry, and the overbearing aroma of food went straight into their noses.
Arrange the work quickly, this is too much torture. Everyone shouted in their hearts.
"I guess you all came here without having breakfast. You work for my family, and you can do a better job if you are well fed.
The food is ready, it's for everyone, don't be polite. Eat quickly, so we can get to work early." Gu Dahe said loudly.
After hearing this, the craftsmen struggled for a moment and then stopped insisting. They started eating their meals.
While eating, he secretly said in his heart: Gu Dong's family is so nice, I must work harder.
The two leading masters were thinking happily in their hearts, "Boss Gu is so generous!" They must tell their subordinates to work hard and seriously, so that Boss Gu can continue to use them for future work.
After dinner, the craftsmen, under the direction of Gu Dajiang and Gu Ji, set up green scaffolding and safety nets outside the house to be demolished and rebuilt, and surrounded the shop opposite the Gu family grain store.
Gu Ji decided to build the half without the grain shop first. This half of the townhouse belonged to his family and could be demolished in its entirety.
When people saw the strange green mesh, they came forward to watch curiously.
"What is this for?"
"What happened?"
When they learned that a shopping mall was to be built, everyone became more curious about this new term.
But the inside was surrounded by filters and no one could see anything.
In this way, after a few days, people's novelty wore off and they started looking for other fun things to do.
And Gu's shopping center, under the leadership of Gu Ji, was demolished and rebuilt in an orderly manner within the green network.
Shopkeepers Xu and Cheng heard the news on the street and learned that Gu Dajiang had arrived.
I finally found some time today, so I hurried to find Gu Dajiang.
Coincidentally, the two of them bumped into each other at the door, gave each other a look as if they were looking at their rival, and then walked into the grain store together as if competing with each other.
Seeing his friends coming to visit, Gu Dajiang said happily: "How come you two have time to come here today, and come together?
It just so happens that I am the host today, so let's just have a simple meal here and have a good time together. Okay?"
After hearing this, the two could only temporarily put aside their personal prejudices.
"That's great. No other restaurant in this county can compare to the food at your restaurant. I'm in for a treat today." Shopkeeper Xu said with a smile.
"That's why I came here today. I've been coveting your delicious food for a long time." Shopkeeper Cheng also said.
Several people happily took their seats.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the slightly tipsy Shopkeepers Xu and Cheng began to look at the delicious food on the table and complain bitterly.
