Thanks to the enthusiastic and responsible Director Zhang, as well as Yi Zhonghai who came after being notified, Xiao Yuan put down his luggage, smoked and waited for the person introduced by Director Zhang to come over.

Not long after, a middle-aged bearded man came and introduced himself humbly, Li San, who has been working as a decoration worker for more than 20 years.

Xiao Yuan took out a pen and paper and took the contractor with the same name as the thief Yanzi Li San around the small yard.

He took notes on how every place needed to be modified, drew a simple structural diagram, and noted the dimensions and materials.

Dig a hidden vegetable cellar two meters wide, six meters long, and three meters deep against the east courtyard wall. Later, he can use the space to slowly develop it into a one-story basement.

The old building itself is tall enough, so Xiao Yuan asked Li San to raise the height to 5.5 meters, so that it can be made into a two-story spacious duplex and become a rear building.

Thinking of retaining a 1.2 meter corridor on the first floor, four steel-concrete support columns were poured. The first floor area is 120 square meters, the second floor is 146 square meters, and the top eaves float out by 35 centimeters.

On the east side of the first floor, against the north wall, is a 12-square-meter bathroom, which is equipped with dry and wet separation and is directly connected to the large sewer pipe outside.

To the south is a 23-square-meter bedroom. There is a long fire bed next to the south window. It can sleep five or six people without any problem.

On the far west side is a 30-square-meter kitchen with two stoves, one large and one small. The outside of the stove is smoothed with concrete, and ceramic tiles are not easy to buy. The corner is a place for storage, coal, and firewood.

Make a table near the window for washing hands, washing vegetables, and chopping vegetables. This is very simple. The bottom is made of blue brick concrete and the countertop is marble.

There is still 55 square meters, with a solid wood staircase on the side and a closed storage room below. The remaining space is the living room and dining room, which is okay, it is already quite large.

There is no need for a large living room on the second floor, so just leave some space at the entrance of the stairs. There are five bedrooms, one living room, one bathroom, one master bedroom, three bedrooms, and a study room. Each room has a south-facing window, even the smallest study room.

Fifteen square meters.

The top floor is made of wooden suspended ceiling, and there is a ridge above it, which is of course made of blue bricks and small tiles. This can provide sound insulation and heat preservation. The best materials are used for the roof. The ceiling also serves as a place for storing sundries. The area is quite large.<

/p>

Of course, Xiao Yuan, who had worked in engineering in his previous life, would definitely give Li San some pointers on bay windows and closets. These two space artifacts in later generations must be used!

The yard will be easier to manage. The original two ginkgo trees are quite large and must be retained. A three-meter-wide open space is left to the east of the vegetable cellar. The rest are all made of the original old blue bricks.

His back building has already exceeded the height of the house in front, and the front roof ridge is about 4.8 meters. In fact, he only needs two 6-meter courtyard walls. There is no reason not to increase the height, right? It should be at least 3.5 meters, with glass slag inlaid on it.

Ordinary thieves surrender.

The gate on the west side must be double-opening, with a single side of 1.5 meters, without a threshold. Usually one side is fixed, and only one side can be opened for entry and exit. It is necessary to get in trucks and cars before it is fully opened. It is a fully enclosed solid wood gate with hidden locks in several places.

Li San followed him. From his expressionless face at the beginning to his hands shaking with excitement, he learned a lot of knowledge! This man is a rich, visionary and thoughtful owner. This is a big business. He can eat during the Chinese New Year.

I’m full!

The cost of such a large project is quite high, which directly exceeds the housing price. It costs 860 yuan. It is basically postponed to reconstruction, and he has to use good materials.

It's a good time for construction now, and it's not freezing yet. Li San said that he would call in more workers and it could be completed in forty days, which is exactly the solar year!

Xiao Yuan felt that it took a long time, and he knew that the project was very large, but he felt that he could save some time while ensuring quality and safety. It depends on whether what you give is attractive!

What is the most scarce thing now? No need to ask, it’s food, especially coarse grains, which are life-saving things! Of course, fine grains, nutrients, and meat are more scarce, but Li San and the others are not suitable, so they don’t dare to think about it!

"Master Li, can you hurry up? I can't stay in the guest house for more than a month, right? In this way, I can provide you with a batch of coarse grains, a thousand catties of sweet potatoes, and a thousand catties of potatoes, all at 20 cents per catty.

Forget it, but it will take a few days." The potatoes and sweet potatoes grown in Xiao Yuan's space are almost ready to be harvested again.

"Xiao...Comrade Xiao, are you serious? Is there really two thousand kilograms of coarse grains? Or is it two cents and a kilogram?" Li San's eyes widened, and the cigarette in his hand fell to the ground.

You must know that he often goes to the pigeon market, and the price has already gone up by 30 cents. The most important thing is that it is out of stock!

As long as it's food, everything has been robbed, let alone wheat bran, which is a good thing. Now in the county town below, even rice bran is bought, and I don't know how to eat it!

Whole grains like sweet potatoes and potatoes are the most popular because they are simple, delicious, nutritious, and can be used for cooking! I heard that in rural areas now, thirty pounds of sweet potatoes can buy a wife!

"Do you think I look like a liar? Don't worry, it won't take more than seven days at the latest. I promise to transport it to this yard, it depends on your ability!" Of course Xiao Yuan will not lie to them.

"Comrade Xiao, as long as you have food for as many people as you want, I promise to get it within twenty-five days!" Li San's chest made a loud banging sound.

"Okay, I'll give you three hundred yuan to buy materials first. If you don't talk to me anymore, I will come over often." Xiao Yuan handed Li San a stack of unity. Purchasing materials also requires a lot of money.

Li San looked grateful, but he still clicked twice carefully. It would be a disaster if one card was missing. Ten yuan can save the life of a family!

Many places have ended the use of large canteens and switched to a distribution system, which no one place can afford!

If you live at home, you don’t have to waste so much. Ten yuan a month is enough for a family of three. At least they won’t starve to death.

In public cafeterias, it is true that people eat more and work less. There is no difference between lazy people and hard-working people who are willing to work.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

The responsibility for supporting all members of the cooperative rests entirely with the collective. The members only participate in production, and the collective manages the lives of the members.

It also comes with many serious consequences. The most serious one is waste. When eating at home, parents will always save a mouthful of food for their children. Who do you save in the big canteen? You have to eat until you are full, unless there is no food! <

/p>

There is another one that is particularly hard on the forestry industry. To cook at home, you just need to pick up some leaves and branches, or burn some straw.

Nowadays, large canteens have to burn big wood to cook, otherwise the pots won’t heat up. Do you think this has nothing to do with the severe floods?

Another one that has suffered a devastating blow is the breeding industry. Where are the leftovers to feed pigs? I don’t need to mention it. Why do you feed pigs when the canteen is in charge of the food? Even if you raise them, they will be confiscated and they won’t cut you off.

Your tail tells you good luck!

It was agreed with Li San that he would bring people over to start work early tomorrow morning, leaving Xiao Yuan to stay in the courtyard for one night today.

Xiao Yuan simply put his backpack on the bed, leaving behind two old military uniforms and personal toiletries. Everything else was stored in the space, just for one night.

I looked at my watch. It was only half past ten in the morning. This was a stainless steel Rolex ref3525, Oyster chronograph. It was his trophy on the battlefield in the Northern Dynasties. It was also commonly known as a prisoner of war watch. It was produced in 1943.

After changing his clothes and going out, Xiao Yuan was going to go to the Pigeon Market to check out the market. The main reason was that he didn't have much money left and he didn't have many tickets. He wanted to sell some coarse grains tomorrow.

After changing into a gray tunic suit, Xiao Yuan carried a khaki military canvas bag and walked towards Dongzhimen, which is not far away.

About one kilometer out of Dongzhimen, there is a small forest. This is a pigeon market that has spontaneously formed. Everyone has needs!

At this time, there are not many people, and most of them have gone to work. The rest are people who don’t have to go to work, and they have the greatest needs. After all, there is a canteen at work, so what can they eat?

Fine grains cost 1.2 yuan. Xiao Yuan saw that it was whole wheat flour. How dare you say white flour? When asked, refined noodles cost 1.51 kilograms. The key is that they are out of stock. The most is only 5 kilograms.

Pork belly costs 2 yuan and 2 yuan per catty, and the fattest one costs 2 yuan and 50 per catty. Everyone is short of oil and nutrients! Xiao Yuan looked at it and saw that it was only about two pounds. Judging from the color, it was probably killed yesterday.
