Chapter 850: Not Going, Not Going

Song Tantan had good intentions, but who knew that as soon as the news spread, the workers wouldn't do it.

"Not going, not going, I'm not going..."

"I'm not going either..."

"I'd better go home. I haven't been home since March!"

Everyone said in unison, leaving Old Xu stunned.

"What's wrong with you guys? In previous years, you wouldn't be happy if I said you could go home early, and you'd want to take on another job until the end of the year. Now that there might be work on the road construction at the entrance, why aren't you willing to do it?"

Old Xu thought to himself: "You guys don't think the wages are too low, right?"

The road construction work now is all odd jobs, and the wages are indeed not high, but don't they provide meals? You can earn a little bit.

People who go to construction sites these days are all for earning money.

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

He took out his phone and flipped through it one by one.

This was also thanks to the fact that the people on their road section weren't doing any heavy physical labor. Otherwise, with such food, they would be dizzy after walking for three days.

"Look, this was taken by my cousin."

Hey! It's not that I, Old Xu, look down on everyone's home cooking; it's really that I've traveled all over the country, and sometimes to get projects, I've searched everywhere for food and supplies, just to make people satisfied and happy...

As a fellow contractor, Old Xu struggled to save face for his peers.

Zhang Yanping was amused: "You're quite good at worrying? Fine, let's have one room."

If they could take on three or five households at once, and then come to the village to build houses for groups by borrowing the popularity of the Song family, then in the surrounding towns...

Not only me, but Wu Lei and Xin Jun also get one. After all, even if Ji Yun's family is free, having an extra room is always good.

If you want to eat refreshing food, there's refreshing food; if you want to eat meat, there's meat.

And because of the overtime work that month, he 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 all the work next year would be like this.

Oh no! The treatment this year was too good, and the team will be hard to lead next year.

"And these meals... Boss Xu, let me show you the photos—"

It was a bit hard, but it was okay.

Although he had only worked for a month, because he performed well, it was already decided that he would continue to follow Old Xu next year.

Not to mention anything else, Zhao Fangyuan's bargaining is really good! It's no worse than her drawing ability!

Ji Yun pondered slightly: "That costs money!"

Old Xu thought that the Song family had built three such small apartments on the mountain. How difficult it was to handle the procedures for this kind of house these days, could he not know?

He had to find time to talk to Zhao Fangyuan again. Not to mention anything else, in the future, when building houses, purchasing furniture and appliances, it would still have to be this girl!

Simply put, for those who put in effort, Ji Yun's work would be life-threatening after just a few tries. But if you only need to use your brain and mouth, then arrange a thousand items for me, and I can do it!

Not to mention things like pork ribs with corn, radish stewed with meat, winter melon with preserved ribs...

But in actual use...

The Song family must be playing a big game of chess!

But I have never encountered such craftsmanship and conscience as Master Jiang's!

Song Tantan pondered and suddenly asked: "Brother Yanping, what if I give you a room too? Otherwise, when you talk about a partner later, what if you're shy because there are too many people at home?"

Simply put, for those who put in effort, Ji Yun's work would be life-threatening after just a few tries. But if you only need to use your brain and mouth, then arrange a thousand items for me, and I can do it!

Hiss!

Qiaoqiao gestured: "You must have a place to live when you quarrel, otherwise it's miserable when it rains. The TV show Mom watched yesterday was like that."

"This looks oily and quite rich..."

When everyone in the village is wealthy, with the quality and layout of the Song family's houses, even if I can't get big projects, can't I get small ones?

Old Xu's abacus was clicking, but Song Tantan was a hands-off manager, directly handing over the arrangement of the houses to Zhang Yanping.

His head was flexible, and at this moment he urged: "That's fine, if you want to do it, buy the tickets. Try to buy them for around the same time. I'll pack the village's village-to-village bus to send everyone to the station."

My cousin, when I first pulled him back, to be honest, it was because he was tall and had a big frame, as if he could plow the fields.

"What!" The guys at the construction site weren't fools: "When cooking, you just braise the vegetables until they are cooked, and pour some oil on them before taking them out of the pot. Isn't it oily then?"

That sister quarreled with her boyfriend, and he told her to get out, so she dragged her suitcase and rained in the street, crying while raining, so pitiful!

Old Xu waved his hand generously: "Why mention money? That's insulting! I'm waiting for the old man's house to be finished anyway..."

Isn't this a great opportunity!

"The day before yesterday we ate potato stir-fried with potatoes, yesterday we ate braised potato chunks, today we ate cabbage stewed with tofu..."

Thinking of this, Old Xu became more confident. When he turned to eat, he asked Ji Yun: "You're installing water heaters and air conditioners in this house, and furniture and decorations are coming in. Do you need someone to watch?"

After all, even Master Qian, eating at Chang Le Ju, couldn't just order his craftsmanship.

After all, the cooking skills at home have highs and lows, the ingredients have good and bad, and if the person cooking is a little busy and perfunctory...

I, Old Xu, am middle-aged, can I also have this splashing wealth?

At this moment, he spoke quite directly:

Old Xu's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

At that time, it would be easy to drive a township enterprise.

As for next year...

Qiaoqiao suddenly raised his hand: "Can you give Aunt Lianhua a room too? Her uncle isn't good to her. If he comes back and quarrels, she has a place to live."

I don't understand the preliminary renovation of building a house, but I lack these details. If I want to take on this kind of village work in the future, I have to actually do it once...

Houses are not important; what's important is that if my mom comes over one day, I have a place to hide.

To tell the truth, when Old Xu first became a contractor, didn't all the construction sites, big and small, eat such food?

Go back, go back and eat the food at home first, and then you will know that the food at the Song family is something you only encounter once in ten years!

Not to mention anything else, the soup that is served every meal, from seaweed egg drop soup to tomato soup, then to loofah egg soup, pumpkin soup, old cowpea rice can be peeled to make soup!

There are so many tricks for just one soup, and the wages are paid on time. Everyone is fat and strong, and their wallets are bulging... Now that they have entered luxury from frugality, who can still look at the food for road construction!

Unlike Master Jiang in our mountain canteen, every meal has meat and vegetables, and the meat and vegetables are matched. Occasionally there is no meat, and the shredded meat is indispensable.

Old Xu:...

"The contractor for your road section is very cunning. I don't know how he took the job. He said he would provide three meals, but everyone's wages were lower than in previous years." ===== CHAPTER 851 =====
