14. Be careful, adventurers!(1/3)
For civil engineering projects, there are many factors that lead to delays.
bad weather,
The supplier's delivery is not on time,
An unexpected safety incident occurred and I was ordered to stop work for rectification.
Halfway through the construction, I realized that the silly plan for a certain node on the drawing could not be realized, so I had to report it to the design institute for urgent modifications.
Some of these factors are natural disasters and some are man-made disasters.
In short, man-made disasters must be strictly guarded against in every engineering project.
Therefore, there are two rules that must be followed.
'When entering a construction site, you must wear a safety helmet.'
as well as,
'No idlers allowed!'
...
The weather is very bad today.
It was already 9 o'clock in the morning, but almost no one was out at this time.
All the livestock were crowded in the farmhouse with their heads down.
Dark clouds covered the sun, thunder and lightning struck, and strong winds and rain.
Li Jia stayed in the tower of the castle, looking at the power of nature outside the window, frowning.
He boasted about Haikou and said that it would only take 3 years to rebuild the castle.
Could it be, a little bit, out of control?
Chuyang mentioned that the climate of the island is not good all year round.
But Li Jiasu didn’t expect that,
The whole island seems to be cursed,
During the 17 days that I traveled through time,
The 9-day period is ‘good weather’ – cloudy but not raining in the morning, sun rising at noon, and sunset at 6 o’clock in the evening;
The 5-day period was "normal weather" - it started to rain lightly in the morning, stopped raining in the afternoon, but it was still cloudy and it was difficult to see the sun until the sun went down;
The three days (including today) were "bad weather" - thunder started to explode in the early morning, dark clouds accumulated until morning, heavy rain and thunder began to rage, and it gradually weakened until the evening, and it cleared up at night, and it must be "good weather" the next day
.
This ** is simply a purgatory for civil servants!
Chuyang, is there something wrong with your family’s broken island?!
Li Jiasu sighed and closed the window.
Leaving the tower, he called one of the housekeeper's men, carrying a piece of chalk and a wooden ruler, and put on a wax-sealed raincoat.
The devil and his servant walked towards the farm.
Time should not be wasted. Since construction cannot be carried out due to weather conditions, let’s give cultural lessons to the Sleifs during the day.
It is necessary to improve their Spanish level to basic level as soon as possible so that they can communicate with local people.
**Conflict is a very sensitive issue.
To assimilate, not to exclude.
...
In many legendary adventure stories, the starting place of the heroes is often ordinary.
Taverns, festival squares, sailing ships, morgues.
Regardless of whether the stories are true or false, for the bards, these places close to people's daily life are the passwords of wealth that attract the interest of the gentlemen in the audience.
But now, amid the storm, a small boat slowly sailed into the port of Gusi City.
It was late in the afternoon, and the storm on the island and surrounding sea areas had weakened a lot.
Four figures, wearing tanned cowhide raincoats, stepped onto the seawall.
"Pick us up in two months. Remember to bring a few bottles of wine from the cellar."
"Okay, Master."
The boat sailed away from the port in heavy wind and rain.
The tax collector held an umbrella, carrying a parchment volume and a charcoal pen under his arm, and walked up to the strangers.
"If the ship is not anchored, there will be no tax. As for the four of you, the total head tax is 12 coppers..."
A Spanish gold coin was thrown in front of the tax collector's toes.
Tax collector: "..."
He bent down, picked up the gold coin, and stuffed it into his pocket.
"Tax collector, let me ask you, where are the best taverns in the city and the notary office for buying and selling houses?"
"Sir, please go west along this road, cross the market square, and turn right. There is a conspicuous and elegant house two streets away, which is the police station of our Gusi City." The tax collector paused.
After a pause, he continued.
"Our Gusi City is relatively small and there is no notary office. If you want to buy a vacant house in the city, just ask our Sheriff. He is responsible for many things."
"As for the tavern, sorry, there is only one old tavern in the city."
The Sheriff pointed to the tavern a hundred meters away, where light leaked from the cracks in the doors and windows.
"That house, yes, is the house with the sign 'A swan is drunk beside the barrel' hanging on the lintel. It is an old tavern in our city, the same age as Gusi City."
A slightly shorter figure laughed loudly at his companion beside him.
"In a remote country, I'm afraid I might use beer as liquor."
The person who had thrown the coins before just nodded coldly to the tax collector, then took steps towards the tavern.
The other figure, who was 1.8 meters tall and the tallest among the four, also walked towards the tavern.
"Ah! Master! Monk! Wait for us!"
The remaining two people shouted and quickly followed.
The tax collector held an umbrella and stood in the rain, watching the four strangers enter the tavern.
Thinking silently,
It is estimated that the island is not peaceful.
...
The door shaft made a sour "squeaking" sound,
Raindrops followed the boots across the threshold and dripped onto the wooden floor.
The drinkers who had spare money to drink and brag at this time quietly moved themselves to the corner again.
The young waiter was behind the bar and looked at the four foreigners.
Three people sat down directly at a round table, and another person came to the bar.
The dripping hood was taken off, revealing a handsome but slightly thin cheek of a young man.
He looks like a young man in his early 20s.
"A cup of the mellowest ginger wine you have here, two large cups of ale with some brown sugar, and a cocktail. It is best to use the original liquid that is more than 5 years old as the base, and add lemon peel, if you have it in the store."
"For my portion, shake well, don't stir."
The waiter Hadir nodded, turned around and rummaged through the cabinet to find some bottles of good wine that had been gathering dust for a long time.
"This guest, the three wines you ordered, especially the mixed wine, will be a little more expensive."
Hadir found the base ingredients and auxiliary ingredients from the cabinet and prepared to mix the wine.
"The total price is about 14 pieces of silver..."
A gold coin was placed on the bar.
"No need to look for it, just send it to you immediately."
Hadir: "..."
The young man who threw the gold coins turned away from the bar and sat down at the round table.
The foreigners took off their hoods, chatted quietly, and waited for the waiter to bring the wine.
"Master, after the settlement is completed, my brother and I need about 2 gold coins to purchase some necessary things in the city, supplies and equipment to go deep into the island, furniture for the settlement, and other necessities."
A shorter man in his 30s nodded and bowed to the young man while preaching.
