Chapter 414 New House Inspection (1/2)

Chapter 414 New House Acceptance

The next day.

When Li Duoyu opened his eyes, the sun was already very dazzling, and Zhou Xiaoying and Xiao Tutu had already gotten up.

I heard Xiaoying say last night that Dandan Island Primary School and Chenjia Village Primary School were discussing the merger of schools recently, and the teachers were quite busy.

After getting up, Li Duoyu came to the courtyard in a vest and shorts and stretched his body. As a result, a gust of wind blew over, and it was actually a little cool.

I didn't expect that in just one day, Dandan Island seemed to have entered "autumn". In the south like them, there is no concept of autumn. There is just a temperature difference between morning and evening. It is still very hot in the middle of the day, especially when the autumn tiger comes, it is easier to get heatstroke.

When Li Duoyu squatted on the stone bar to brush his teeth, he could vaguely hear the sound of the horn coming from the sea.

"Yo ho yo,

Yo ho."

Li Duoyu looked in the direction of the sound and found that someone was piling not far from the shore.

After seeing the familiar fishing boat, Li Duoyu immediately knew who was the pile driver.

The factory price of this thing is very strict, at least 700 yuan per density, and the steel bar plus the freight alone cost 4,000 yuan.

It is the busiest season for fishermen again.

"At least 10,000 or 20,000 yuan."

The iron gate is open.

The marine creatures that should have given birth have already given birth, and most of them are busy growing fat after their bodies are hollowed out.

After walking a few steps, they came to the new house.

But after autumn.

To be honest, with so many people raising kelp together, Li Duoyu felt that the boasting he made in front of the big boss in the past has finally come true.

Li Duoyu had a simple breakfast.

I heard from my uncle Chen Dongqing that most of those who raised kelp last year made money.

The price of 325 # and 425 # cement is 80 yuan and 90 yuan per density.

Because at this time, most marine creatures are busy raising their babies, and the nutrients in their bodies are transferred to the next generation, resulting in a less good taste.

Last year, the kelp cultivation area in their village was about 500 mu, and this year it has directly doubled to 1,000 mu. The neighboring Chenjia Village also has more than 300 mu.

Li Duoyu glanced at the calendar hanging on the wall. It was already mid-October without him noticing.

And these few items alone add up to more than 8,000 yuan, in addition to red bricks, tiles, white lime, glass, etc.

During the period of building the house, it was my father who helped, and even the cost of building the house was reconciled with Master Cao by my second brother.

A Niang and Xiao Tutu, as well as Xiao Pangdun, Zhang Lin, and Zhang Yun, they are all here in the new house.

In fact, apart from the preliminary design and the purchase of building materials, Li Duoyu really didn't worry about this house.

The cheaper building materials are gravel and river sand, and the available quantity is also quite large. The freight is there, and the average is not cheap.

According to the data registered by my uncle alone, the kelp cultivation area in Xiasha Village this year has more than doubled.

In more than a month.

It will be different.

The freight cost is nearly 500 yuan.

Since those who raised kelp on Dandan Island made a lot of money last year, many villagers followed suit this year.

"That should be possible."

After seeing Li Duoyu coming, my aunt enviously said, "Duoyu, your house is really the most beautiful on the island, much better looking than Wang Dapao's house. How much money did you spend?"

However, there is still a long way to go to build a first-class brand and make kelp bigger and stronger.

For example, they bought nearly five and a half rebars in total. At first, they were unwilling to sell them, but later they asked Zhao Jialu for help.

Until now, Li Duoyu only knows some big consumption.

Master Zhang's business has been very good in the past two years. In addition, the piles they drive are very stable, and there are many farmers who ask their team to drive piles. Now if you want to hire them, you have to make an appointment one month in advance.

The total kelp farming area in Shangfeng Town is more than 4,000 acres.

This is also the reason why the fishing ban period is chosen in these months.

A Niang was cleaning with a dustpan and a broom, Li Haoran and Zhang Lin were also helping, and Xiao Tutu was also holding a broom, not knowing whether he was helping or making trouble.

In addition to them, my aunt and some relatives also came to help, mainly to help clean up the construction waste inside.

Cement is about 3,500 yuan.

More than half of the cement was used for the foundation, plus the second floor of the board, the wall, and the courtyard, all together, 600 bags of cement were used.

In addition, the temperature in winter is relatively low, the meat rots slowly, there is no red tide in autumn and winter, and there is no need to worry about diarrhea when eating seafood.

Li Duoyu found that the cheapest thing in this era is manual labor.

Speaking of which, summer is actually the off-season for coastal fishermen. In addition to squid and jellyfish, there are not many seafood products to catch.

Li Duoyu frowned and thought: "Master Cao, I haven't reconciled the account yet, so I don't know how much it costs."

Autumn and winter are the best seasons for seafood. What kind of swimming crabs, hairtail, oysters, and various shellfish are the fattest.

Master Cao and his two apprentices worked for half a year, and the labor cost was less than 2,500 yuan.

Li Duoyu made a rough calculation.

If you add the sofa in the hall, the TV cabinet, the beds, chairs and cabinets in each room, as well as the refrigerator and washing machine.

After the house is completed, it will cost at least 30,000 yuan.

Nowadays, his house is the only one in Dandan Island that has exterior wall tiles and large sliding glass.

From a distance, the household with tiles is theirs.

A cement road is laid in the middle of the courtyard, directly connected to the steps leading to the entrance. A piece of open space is left on the left, which can be used to grow vegetables and flowers.

Several firewood rooms are built on the right, which are specially used to store various firewood and fishing gear.

There is a spacious hall on the first floor, about 40 to 50 square meters, and next to it is the kitchen. When the time comes, more than ten people can have meals here.

Li Duoyu built a bedroom on the first floor, which is reserved for his father and mother.

If they plan to come and live here, this room will be left for them. If they don’t want to come and live here, then just turn it into a guest room, so that the eldest brother and sister-in-law will have a place to sleep when they come back in the future.

Li Duoyu thinks that his father and mother are unlikely to come to live here. Old Li just wants to build a new house, but if they really live in it, they probably still like their old house more.

Li Duoyu is the same in this regard. After the new house was built, he was not particularly excited, but a little reluctant to leave the old house.

After arriving at the room, Li Duoyu briefly checked the construction technology and found that Master Cao's craftsmanship was really good.

Each brick was aligned very neatly, and the details were also very well done. It cannot be said that all masters of this era are particularly good.

It can only be said that Master Cao has a good reputation here, and he said at the beginning that he wanted to make his house a benchmark.

From the beginning, every link was strictly checked. If the craftsmanship did not meet the standards, it would be directly redone.

Li Duoyu took a wooden ruler to measure several positions. The walls were almost vertical and not tilted.

Unlike in the previous life, those decoration companies were only thinking about making money from the owners, especially acquaintances.

There is a saying that even if you ask a good friend to come over for decoration, it will end up in a bad mood.

There is a small hall and three bedrooms on the second floor. Li Duoyu and Zhou Xiaoying live in the master bedroom, one second bedroom is for the grown-up Tutu, and the other is for Xiaorong.

If she brings a partner back one day, the two of them really can't sleep in her small house. Now there is nothing in the house, it looks empty, but Li Duoyu thinks this 100 square meters is really big.

The house his son bought in his previous life also had a property area of ​​100 square meters, but after deducting the public area, the actual area was less than 85 square meters, a room was missing.

The rooftop has a lot of space, which can be used to dry fish and clothes. There is also a shrine here to worship Mazu.

There is also a nearly two cubic water storage tank, and iron pipes are laid to the well. When there is no water, the pump can be directly started to pump the well water here.

When Li Duoyu inspected the new house, Master Cao, who learned the news, also rushed over.

"Director Li, are you satisfied with this house?"

Li Duoyu smiled, "Very satisfied, Master Cao's skills are still good, you have worked hard during this period."

After that, Li Duoyu took out a big red envelope from his pocket and handed it to Master Cao.

"You can't do that."

Master Cao pushed the red envelope back: "To be honest, this is also the first time I build such a big house. I am very grateful that you are willing to give me this house to try. How can I accept your red envelope.

Seriously speaking, I should give you the red envelope. You taught me how to lay the foundation and pour the cement."

Seeing Master Cao's firm refusal, Li Duoyu did not force him to give the red envelope.

Master Cao sighed: "After you built this house, many people came to ask me about the cost of this house. After I told them, they were all scared away."

Li Duoyu said: "Don't worry, in a few years, maybe everyone will have money. By then, you can't finish building it even if you want."

Master Cao smiled.

For Li Duoyu now, it is not difficult to earn tens of thousands of yuan every year, but for ordinary fishermen, they don't even have fishing boats, so how can they have money to build a new house.

However, Master Cao never thought that it was because he helped Li Duoyu build this house.

In the next few years, there will be a constant stream of wealthy people from the entire Shangfeng Town and even the county who will come to him to build houses, and his construction schedule will even be scheduled for two years later.

Because most of the people who come to visit Li Duoyu are wealthy people.

After looking at the house, Li Duoyu wanted to go directly to the town to meet Secretary Chen first, but he didn't expect that after arriving at the dock, he found that he encountered an astronomical high tide.

The muddy bottom of the shelter was exposed, and his fishing boats and sampans were all lying there, and the passenger ship could not dock for the time being.

From a distance, you can vaguely see that the oysters that Li Duoyu had been hanging on the mudflats have all emerged from the water.

There were many people who were going to the town to attend the market at the dock, not only from Xiasha Village, but also from Chenjia Village.

Most villagers did not bring much money to the market, but carried various dried fish on their backs. When the time came, they would buy other things with the money from the dried fish.

There was a middle-aged man nicknamed "White Pig" who was from Chenjia Village. His full name was Chen Baishu (zhu).

Baizhu is a Chinese medicine, but many people on the island don't know it, so everyone just calls him "White Pig".

Li Duoyu really knows this person. Whether it is now or in the past life, this person is very low-key and polite.

He specializes in selling various marine Chinese medicines, including dried seahorses, abalone shells (stone cassia), sea octopuses, fish brain stones, etc.

Fishermen who don't know the market conditions often laugh at him, saying that no one wants these things.

But Chen Baishu always smiles: "Make a little money to support the family."

Only Li Duoyu knew that this person was not making a small amount of money. This person was most likely to have slipped through the cracks in the island's statistics on households worth tens of thousands of dollars.

"Director Li, would you like to have a cigarette?"

Li Duoyu smiled: "No need, you should make a lot of money selling these medicinal materials."

"What kind of money do you make? It's all a small business, barely enough to support your family."

Li Duoyu thought this person was quite interesting, so he said, "I know Manager An from Rongcheng Commodity Distribution Company. Do you want to meet him?"

Chen Baishu was stunned for a while, and then said unambiguously: "Yes, of course I do, I can only dream about it."

"If I have the chance, I'll introduce you to him."

"Thank you so much, Director Li. I don't even know how to thank you."

Chen Baishu still feels like he is dreaming. In fact, he does not lack Chinese medicinal materials, but he lacks sales channels.

In the years since the resumption of business, he has indeed made a lot of money selling various Chinese medicinal materials from the sea, but he is afraid of being imitated by others, and is also afraid of being borrowed by relatives.

Even if I make money, I don't dare to say anything, and the food at home is very poor.

Selling Chinese medicinal materials is really hard work. He has no channels and has to rely on his own feet.

It takes about ten days to go out. Just like those barefoot doctors, he also runs around carrying Chinese medicinal materials. If he comes across a pharmacy, he will ask about it.

Sometimes, in order to go to the village to sell medicinal materials, it is common to walk for two or three days. It is common to sleep in a broken house and live in the Diggong Temple.

He had wanted to cooperate with a big company with sales channels for a long time, but as a result, they ignored him at all and didn't even get a business card.

I finally bought one from my second brother, but when I called, I didn't expect to meet a scammer, but I was defrauded of more than 100 yuan of medicinal materials.

Surprisingly, Li Duoyu met Li Qingguang at the dock. He brought an iron shelf, bottles and cans, a pile of charcoal and oysters.

Li Duoyu glanced at it and knew what he was going to do.

After meeting Li Duoyu.

Li Qingguang greeted with a smile: "Brother, you have to go out too."

Li Duoyu said: "I want to go to the town committee."

Sometimes, growing up happens in an instant. If I remember correctly, Qingguang is seventeen years old this year and will be an adult in another year.

When I saw him last year, he looked very childlike, with childishness all over him. But after returning from this trip, I found that the beard on Li Qingguang's mouth had obviously increased. He looked much more mature, and his voice had also changed.

"How is the grilled oyster business lately? Have you made any money?"

Li Qingguang grinned and said, "It's not bad. I've made more than two hundred yuan in the past few months."

"That's pretty cool. I'm quite worried that you'll lose money in business."

Li Qingguang scratched his head in embarrassment.

"During this period, I have been attending night school well, and my sister-in-law has taught me mathematics. Now I can directly handle addition and subtraction within two digits."

"So awesome."

"If you don't believe me, give me a test."

Li Duoyu frowned and thought for a moment. A pound of oysters costs twelve yuan. I buy twelve pounds. How much is the total?

Li Qingguang was stunned for a moment.

"Twelve plus twelve equals twenty-four, plus twelve equals thirty-six."

After counting, Li Qingguang lost his mind and said with a grimace: "Brother, I have never done such a big business. Besides, how can a pound of oysters be sold for twelve yuan?"

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "For those twelve pieces of oysters, if you buy ten catties, it will be counted."

Li Qingguang smiled and said:

"I can do this, one hundred and two."

"Then don't sell twelve kilograms at one time, split it into two sales, one time for ten kilograms, and the other time for two kilograms."

Li Qingguang suddenly realized: "I calculated it, is it one hundred and forty-four?"

Li Duoyu nodded: "That's right."

"Brother, your algorithm is so powerful. If I encounter big money in the future, I will forget it. I don't have to be disliked by the other party anymore."
