Chapter 165 Buying Masonry
Yan Laoer took Qi Sixian to the brick-burning house on the edge of Xiqiao Town.
The person in charge is a very energetic old man, thin and thin, with an unusual red, black and red color on his face and hands.
"Young man, looking at you, you are so new, where did you come from?"
"Old man, we just settled here. You know the forest to the north of the town, and the west of the forest, the area at the foot of the wasteland mountain. The elder has allocated that land to us, and plans to build a house there."
"Oh, Linxi's wasteland, are you planning to open up wasteland there?" The old man knew the identity of the visitor as soon as he heard it, and he was also clear about the policy of resettling refugees.
Yan Er Er said: "Yes, I plan to build a brick and stone house, and Lao Li from the fast class in Hujucheng introduced me to buy bricks."
The old man glanced at him, then looked at Qi Si, and said: "My eldest son is going to serve in corvee, and now the younger one and I are busy with work, Li Ma quickly told you no, I am slow to produce bricks, how much do you want? "
"Before I came here, I asked about it. They said that there are blue bricks and red bricks. What are the prices?"
"Blue bricks are not easy to burn, and it takes half a month to produce one kiln. I am a small kiln, and I only have 10,000 pieces at a time. When the red bricks are in order, I can open three times a month.
Blue bricks are more expensive, while red bricks are cheaper.
Seeing that you are also inexperienced, the old man will just say a few more words and talk to you.
The blue bricks are strong and antifreeze, so they can be directly exposed outside, even in strong wind and rain.
Red bricks are not good. If you want to build a wall, you have to put mud on the outside, otherwise the bricks will loosen after ten or twenty years.
There are those particular people who use blue bricks for the kang, it’s not necessary, red bricks are fine, the old man thinks it’s warmer than green bricks.
You want to build a masonry house, have you gone to the quarry? "
"No, I plan to walk from here and then go there."
"Then you're going the wrong way, go to the quarry first, see how much scrap you sell there, and then come to me to order bricks, if I can give you more, you can save a lot of money for bricks." The old man Honestly.
Yan Laoer: "Old man, why can't I come here for nothing? Can you book me the first place? Book our two first, and I will ask others later. Our hundred or so households don't need to build a house." , Pankang is also expensive, look, we order a lot, can it be cheaper?"
The old man stared, before he said how many cars he wanted, so he negotiated the price first.
"One piece of paper for green bricks, one piece of paper for red bricks."
"Then do the math, how many bricks do I need to build a house?" Second Yan asked for advice.
The old man said: "It depends on how many houses you want to build. If there are six houses, it will cost about 40,000 yuan. If there are three houses, it will cost 20,000 yuan. How many houses will you build?"
"Six rooms."
"What about his family?" The old man pointed to Qi Si.
Yan's second son helped to answer: "His family will press three rooms first."
The old man can tell who is the one who speaks well.
Then he said to Yan Laoer: "I will give you half of the measurement first, and tell me the exact number when you come back from the quarry."
"By the way, old man, you burn coal here? How do you sell coal? Is it expensive?"
"It's not expensive, it costs three cents a hundred catties, and when winter comes, it will be sold for one cent five." The old man sighed and said, "Don't think my bricks are expensive, my family only earns hard money."
"Is it okay to burn charcoal?"
"Charcoal is also more expensive, three cents per hundred catties, and three cents and five cents in winter.
I don’t use brick-burning bricks. They are used by ordinary people for cooking. There is less smoke and no choking. "
Yan's second child smiled, showing a mouthful of white teeth.
"Then I'll order 20,000 green bricks and 20,000 red bricks first, it's cheaper for the old man."
The old man said: "It's all the real price, and you didn't make a false report. In this way, Qingzhuan will give you a penny six."
"Old man, there will be a lot of places where we will use bricks in the future, please make room for us to attract a repeat customer."
Old man: Your family can still build a house every day.
But he was also afraid that these people would go to Dongqiao Town on Gufeng’s side to buy. They said they were two big houses, but they were actually very close.
If it’s not too far away, if you go to Changning, there are also several brick-burning companies. His brick kiln is small and the bricks are slow to produce.
Seeing the old man’s hesitation, Yan Lao Er resolutely killed him: “Old man, 23,000 dongs for green bricks, 20,000 dongs for red bricks, what do you think of a total of 48 dongs?”
The old man calculated silently for a while, and the price he quoted was four pennies less.
It hurts so much.
"Half of the deposit will be paid first."
"Okay!" Yan Lao Er readily agreed. "I didn't bring it with me today, I'll give you money tomorrow."
The old man nodded in understanding.
Whoever can bring tens of hanging coins out will not sink to death.
On the way, Qi Sidao: "Second brother Yan, I brought money."
Yan Er Er laughed and said: "I also brought it, but I don't want to give it today, I will talk about it tomorrow."
He is going to go to the quarry to see if the settlement is also made with copper coins. If so, he will take the silver and exchange it for copper plates, and then pay with copper coins to make a difference.
…
The house foundations on the east, west and north sides have all been drawn, and the families who have not allocated the house land yet gather at the big stone. Village head Luo holds a handful of straw sticks of different lengths, hides their tails, and asks everyone to draw lots .
Whichever is the longest will be picked first.
Yan Yu squeezed in to join in the fun. She climbed up the big rock and stood tall, and everyone didn't care.
Compared to the longest one, the man cheered and ran to the desired place with his family.
Once things are placed, the land will be considered occupied.
What caught her attention was Nanny Rong.
Her father secretly looked for her last night, and wanted her to take down the homestead closest to the mountain.
as their secret warehouse.
Nurse Rong seems to be unlucky, the stick in her hand is very short.
Yan Yu was secretly anxious.
But looking at it, she felt that her worry was a bit unnecessary.
The closer the homestead is to the center of the village, the more popular it is.
At the end, Nanny Rong easily won the homestead near the foot of the mountain.
Looking at the back of Nanny Rong carrying the bamboo basket, Yan Yu fell into deep thought.
It seems that they also want to build a house for Rong Rong...
Not too small yet.
Yan Yu began to calculate the money.
Not the entire Yan family, but their small family.
Sadly found that there is not much private money.
Probably the most economical way is to build an adobe house for Nanny Rong.
…
At noon, Yan Er and Qi Si came back.
The two happily pulled half a cart of stones.
Immediately, he was surrounded by the villagers.
Qi Si moved down, and he introduced it to others.
"It's all waste, one hundred cents a car, their car is small, a full car is full of these in my car.
Don't choose the size, what you put on it is what you want. "
Someone asked: "Yan Er, are there still many stones like this in the quarry?"
Yan Er nodded and shook his head, "The big ones are less, and the smaller ones are more."
He took out another thin stone slab to show everyone: "There is another one like this. The manager of the quarry said that this kind of slate slab can be used for a kang."
What Yan Lao Er didn't say was that he also planned to use this kind of stone slabs to pave the floor.
What’s wrong with the irregular shape, this is called the art of splicing.
