Chapter 88: Own Brothers, Clear Accounts

Director Wang looked up at Li Xuewu and asked: "Whose girl? Where does she work?"

Li Xuewu smiled cheekily: "Not determined yet, but without a phoenix tree, where would the golden phoenix come from?"

Director Wang scolded with a smile: "You have many ghost ideas, but I have to remind you, don't be unreliable like before. Find a good girl and treat her well. If you can't find one, come tell me, and I'll introduce one to you."

Li Xuewu hurriedly put his hands together to beg for mercy: "Mom, don't talk about my history. Hurry up and help me find a construction team."

*I Have a Scroll of Ghosts and Gods*

Director Wang thought for a while and said: "Some descendants of the former construction office live in this area. Although their historical components are not good, they can be considered poor and lower-middle class. They are all small jobs for building renovation. Yours is not difficult. I'll write you an address, you go find him, and just say I asked you to go."

Li Xuewu said happily: "Got it. The one you recommend is definitely reliable."

After sitting at his godmother's house for a while, he picked up the note and stood up to say goodbye. Besides finding this person, he also had to arrange for Seeing Wen San'er and the others.

After coming out of his godmother's house, he turned left and right, and it took a long time to find the location.

In front of him was a single-door, single-courtyard.

He knocked on the door, and a middle-aged woman opened it and asked, "Comrade, who are you looking for?"

Li Xuewu looked at the note and asked: "Is this Master Dou's house? I'm looking for him to repair the house."

The woman replied cleverly: "Yes, he is at home, you come in."

Li Xuewu followed the woman into the courtyard and into the house.

Inside and outside the house, there were some sawdust on the ground, and finished furniture and window frames were leaning against the wall.

The house had a three-room layout. In the inner room, a man was sitting on a wooden frame pushing a plane. He was stunned when he saw Li Xuewu enter the room.

The woman said: "Master of the house, this comrade is looking for you."

Li Xuewu introduced himself: "Hello, I am Li Xuewu from No. 95 Nanluoguxiang. The house is ready for renovation. I asked Director Wang of the street office, and she introduced me to find you."

Master Dou heard that it was introduced by an acquaintance, so he asked: "Who are you talking about?"

Li Xuewu said: "Oh, it's Director Wang of the street office. I am a security officer at the rolling mill. Isn't it that the unit assigned me a house in the street? Four inverted rooms, I want to renovate them, and my childhood friend also has a small courtyard next to my house, which needs to be built into a warehouse for waste product recycling."

Once Master Dou heard that the background was so hard, he hurriedly asked his wife to pour water.

Li Xuewu didn't want to waste time at noon, so he said he wanted to take him to see the house now and set the construction plan.

Master Dou packed his notebook, ruler, and pencil and followed Li Xuewu out the door. Each rode a bicycle to the Li family.

Arriving at the courtyard, Li Xuewu sent the milk powder and baby bottle back to the room and took Master Dou to see the site.

Master Dou measured the house dimensions with a ruler, looked at the building structure, and followed his great-aunt and Li Xuewu to see the western courtyard, measuring the dimensions.

Master Dou took a long time to take a fancy to this, and then said he would go back to draw the drawings, calculate the materials, recruit workers, and set the plan. He would compare it with the drawing Li Xuewu had set, and as long as Li Xuewu was satisfied, construction could begin.

Li Xuewu's meaning was of course the faster the better. The three looked at the timber again, and it was roughly enough.

Master Dou pointed to the inverted rooms and said: "The roof doesn't need to be repaired. First, make window frames and door frames. Construction is inside the house. Block the windows and light a fire inside. It will be done in three days. Change four rooms into three. Demolish the wall while building the wall. This way, the house will always have a fire, which will not affect the hardness of the structure. Demolish while working. Both the wall and the ground are warm. When the interior decoration is done, the wall building and decoration will dry quickly."

Master Dou saw that his great-aunt was also a carpenter, so he hesitated and asked: "Are you doing the whole package or doing the woodwork yourself?"

Li Xuewu thought that the work should be done continuously, which would save worry, and he didn't want his great-aunt to be so tired, so he said: "Whole package, but I only prepared the timber for the materials. You can look at what else is needed. I will find someone to do the heating inside."

Li Xuewu wanted to install heating in the inverted rooms because the inverted rooms had little sunlight and were dark and damp, so he had to install heating facilities, otherwise it would be easy to get sick.

Master Dou said: "That's good. I'll go back to do the design and plan now. We'll talk about the price after I design it and come back."

After saying this, Master Dou rode his bicycle and left.

He greeted his great-aunt, got on his bicycle again, turned a few corners along the alley, and after more than twenty minutes, arrived at Seeing Wen San'er's house.

The main gate was locked. He had to climb the wall again.

If this continues, he would be caught by the "small-footed guerrilla team" sooner or later, and then he would lose face.

Entering the courtyard, he saw a burlap sack thrown at the main gate, but he didn't care. It seemed that something had sold out a sack.

Entering the room, these four guys were snoring loudly. They should have only slept for about three hours.

He didn't wake up Shen Guodong and the others, but woke up Seeing Wen San'er.

Seeing Wen San'er woke up with resentment, muttering: "I said what Third Uncle is called, and said relying on me, relying on me, it turns out it's treating me like a dog, not letting me sleep at night, not letting me sleep during the day~"

Li Xuewu was so angry he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He looked at Seeing Wen San'er and said: "That's fine, can't treat Third Uncle like a dog, let Shen Guodong be in charge tomorrow." As he said this, he was about to take the satchel under the pillow.

Seeing Wen San'er made a move of a hungry dog pouncing on food and lay on the pillow: "Hey, why are you being serious? I was joking with you. Who said I'm not willing to be a dog? Woof woof woof!"

Li Xuewu gave him a look of disgust, threw a cigarette to him, and asked: "Stop talking nonsense, tell me how the sales are now."

Seeing Wen San'er patted the satchel, didn't light the cigarette, held the cigarette in his hand, and said happily: "Good heavens, it was almost snatched crazy. We were busy until after 6 o'clock this morning. If it weren't for the fact that it was about to dawn, we wouldn't have stopped."

When Li Xuewu came in, he went to the western room to take a look. It was true, two-thirds of a cart of supplies were gone.

In the space, except for the dried goods reserved for his own use, there were none left. There were still potatoes, radishes, cabbage, rice, flour, corn flour, and six roe deer, furs, hairtail, and river fish.

Send another cart tonight, sell it as soon as possible, so as to leave time to renovate the recycling station in the western courtyard.

At the very least, he had to connect the outer courtyard with the western courtyard. In the future, they would live in the inverted rooms with him.

The pigeon market on Seeing Wen San'er's side had to be let go slowly. They couldn't continue doing it point-to-point like this; they must establish their own network.

One reason Li Xuewu was so anxious to make money was to arrange a way out for his brothers, because the night market would be affected next year.

The second reason was that the family might have no income next year, so he couldn't help but leave a hand.

The third reason was that without money and supplies, he wouldn't be able to get those good things next year. Those were treasures and wealth.

Li Xuewu told Seeing Wen San'er about the content he had set with the supply and marketing cooperative and the street today, and also told him about the subsequent arrangements.

Seeing Wen San'er jumped with joy. Who wouldn't be happy to become a regular army? So what if he collected junk? It was better than being a street loafer without a job.

Li Xuewu took out the account book he had recorded since he started collecting pears, ready to settle the accounts and define the profit sharing of the cooperation.

First was the original principal. The original principal of Seeing Wen San'er and the four was 1160 yuan, plus two bicycles. Here, 450 yuan was Li Xuewu's pig money.

When collecting pears, Li Xuewu added another 550 yuan. Collecting pears cost 1375 yuan. According to the established price, the profit from pears should be 4050 yuan.

Now another investment has been made, changed into local specialties, and the scheduled profit should be 2393 yuan.

Adding the cash of 120 yuan, 300 round logs prepared to build the waste product recycling station, and the profit from pears, then according to the calculation after clearing all goods, it should be 7054.5 yuan and 300 round logs. ===== CHAPTER 89 =====
