The layoff boom happened and Lin Fan happened to catch him, so the recruitment boom came!
Wages, daily settlements, and lunches were all taken care of. In an instant, countless workers poured into the factory and the construction site.
As soon as the required conditions were laid out, the entire construction site became overcrowded, and the construction period began to be shortened visibly because the efficiency was too high.
What is the hardest thing about building a house?
It’s about digging the foundation, because it has to be dug deep and well!
This is a big project. If there are a lot of excavators, it will be very efficient. But the problem is, there are not that many excavators!
We have to wait a year even for the 1990s. In this era, excavators, sorry, are more expensive than cars.
So, what's the best approach?
Manual digging!
One person, a shovel, and a basket can create a miracle!
And such a miracle was made possible by the money.
A salary of three and a half yuan a day, including lunch, is enough to drive countless people crazy.
Everyone is working hard, because someone will report it. If you are lazy, you will know it by comparing your work position!
Others have dug 3 meters, why are you just over one meter?
Then it must be that you are not suitable for our construction site. If you are not suitable, then get out!
Spreading money has begun!
In this era, 10 million can employ 2.85 million people, which can give Lin Fan a day's work!
However, Lin Fan only needs to hire 10,000 people and work for him for 285 days, which is enough to complete Lin Fan's entire construction period!
10,000 people is a lot, and you can’t hire that many. The country will be nervous. This is a fourth-nine city!
Therefore, Lin Fan has 100 people working on one construction site, and a total of 12 construction sites are working together!
With 1,200 people, a day's salary including food will not exceed 4,500 yuan!
How much does the meal cost? Don’t forget, what Lin Fan made his fortune in is the catering industry. He directly braised the vegetables in stewed soup and then made five big white steamed buns for each person, which was enough to satisfy him.
The marinade is full of oil and water, which is a bit ugly. For big eaters like Lin Fan, if they eat big white steamed buns with braised vegetables, they usually only end up with four.
Five?
You overestimate the heroes of the world.
There will be big eaters, but for most people, two is enough. This is not a modern steamed bun, but a steamed bun as big as a roll of toilet paper, and it is solid. If you bite it in one bite, there will be no trace of it.
fluffy.
They are all made from real flour, and because there is no baking powder, these steamed buns are really good at resisting satiety.
Even in later generations, there are still some people in the Northeast who insist on making steamed buns, and they are sold cheaply. Even in 2020, they cost 5 cents each. They are huge. Lin Fan clearly remembers that he
At that time, I often bought some braised pork, and then bought two big steamed buns, and ate them slowly. They were especially delicious.
Of course, I can't eat it all the time, after all, I didn't order any soup.
However, there is soup at Lin Fan's construction site. It is the simplest shredded mustard soup. The shredded meat may not be pork, but may be chicken, duck, and rabbit. Anyway, for everyone, a little meat is good.
But this soup is not simple, it contains a lot of salt, because it is hard work, and even in this winter, you still sweat. Every construction site has a boiler room, which boils water that is drinkable and mostly used for bathing after work.
After work, I was sweating all over, so I quickly entered the boiler room, took a shower, and then put on clean and fresh clothes, not to mention moisturizing.
…
"Hey, what are you looking at?"
Lin Fan came to the courtyard and found a group of people surrounding the TV. Lin Fan came to see He Yuzhu, but when he saw a group of people watching the TV, he suddenly became curious.
"The Emperor is inaugurated!"
Lin Fan suddenly realized that this year is the Heisei New Year. To put it simply, the Showa era ended with the death of the emperor.
What is being broadcast now is Japan’s public announcement of the following era name.
Japan and our country used to be the same. Every time an emperor was changed, a new era name would be changed. Of course, the emperor no longer had much real power, but his status was lofty.
"Heisei, the new era name is out, it's Heisei!"
In the TV station, the host from Japan shouted loudly, followed by the voice of the host from our country. Such broadcasts can be seen all over the world. After all, Japan is still very powerful now.
“It’s almost time to sell futures this year!”
A few years ago, Lin Fan bought the Nikkei Index. He had held it in his hands for so long, and it was time to throw it away!
After watching the TV, a group of gentlemen actually didn't understand what this was all about. They just wanted to participate and be curious about international events.
"What are you looking for me for?"
"I came to the yard just to see you? Can't I just come to see you?"
Lin Fan said directly, while a man and a mother on the side smiled and watched Lin Fan and He Yuzhu bickering.
In this era, many families are actually worried about money matters. Brothers dislike each other and quarrel too much. Many families even break up after the two brothers grow up.
But there are very few people in the Lin Fan family who are not biological brothers.
"Hurry up, I'll be busy later!"
"What are you busy with? You retired in your fifties, so what are you busy with?"
Yes, He Yuzhu has retired and is now the honorary chef. He will only help when MCA can't handle it. Most of the time, he just plays at home.
"I made an appointment to watch the birds!"
"Yo, take me with you!"
"You also play with birds?"
"I'll play with you!"
"piss off!"
He Yuzhu waved his hand and started arguing with his younger brother. He couldn't keep his mouth shut, otherwise He Yuzhu's iron mouth could make people angry to death.
"Let's get down to business!"
"I have something serious to say. I want you to come to my house for dinner. Xiangjiang has sent some dry goods. I have been sending them for three days!"
"Okay, I'll take care of it tonight and tell your wife not to move around!"
"She doesn't know how to do it. When she heard you were coming to cook, she immediately went crazy!"
He Yuzhu pointed at Lin Fan: "Did anyone say that about your wife?"
"It's normal. I'm also a fool. You cook, and I'm happy and free!"
He Yuzhu said angrily: "I owed you something in my previous life!"
"That's not possible. You might still owe me in your previous life!"
"roll!"
The two brothers walked out with a smile and came to the bird market!
The bird market is not actually a market, it is just a gathering of people who love to play with birds. Don't tell me, the businessmen are smart. In just a few years, a market has been formed here.
Many birds today are not protected animals, so there are many people who catch and sell birds.
When we arrived at the bird market, we heard a lot of chirping sounds from afar.
People in Sijiu City have had the habit of playing with birds since ancient times. Don't think about it. These are real birds. From small mynas to big golden eagles, there is no bird in Sijiu City that you dare not raise.
Birds and beasts, people in the Four-Nine Cities prefer birds.
Perhaps there are more people here who prefer the north, and northerners are more attracted to birds.
Coupled with some cultural integration from the Qing Dynasty, birds have become even more sacred here.
"Hey, these shrike have them all!"
Lin Fan spotted a bird at a glance.
"Do you still recognize this?"
"Nonsense! You don't even know this, so what's the matter?"
Lin Fan squinted his eyes. Shrikes are a very cruel bird. Even though they are small, they are essentially the kings of slaughter in nature. They will hang a lot of food on the barbs of plants.
, and then dried directly in the sun and used as reserve food.
There are even some drying activities, not as food, but purely to practice hunting skills, or even for fun!
"What are you going to raise?"
"Oriole!"
The oriole is a very beautiful bird. It is yellow-green all over. The hair around the eyes is black, which looks like eyebrows. The beak is red. It is very beautiful.
They also have a common name called oriole, which is a famous summer migratory bird.
However, in 2016, the oriole was listed on the World Conservation Union's list, with a protection level of endangered red!
When it reaches the level of red, it is very rare, but now here, there are a lot of orioles.
"Two orioles singing in the green willows..."
The birds that were praised by countless people back then are now almost extinct.
but……
"There seems to be one on my farm!"
"This one is good!"
Lin Fan pointed at an oriole and said that when the Wildlife Protection Law is implemented, Lin Fan plans to find an opportunity to release a group of creatures.
As for the Wildlife Protection Law, it was passed last year and officially came into effect in March this year.
It's not that Lin Fan doesn't want to protect, but that he doesn't have the conditions. You know that in this era, many people are still struggling to make ends meet. You want them to understand how to protect wild animals?
Stop it!
Lin Fan can only continue to protect some creatures that he can. At least after the National Animal Protection Law was enacted, there are not many creatures in the country that have become extinct due to human hunting, but some have become extinct due to human activities.
Baiji dolphin!
This name that many people don't know has now been written on the list of "extinct in the wild". By the time people realize it, this name is really full of grief.
What can be done?
In the 1980s, 1990s, and the 21st century, that was when fishing in the Yellow River Basin was the most intensive, but who could do anything about it?
Economic development requires some sacrifices, so Lin Fan is here.
There are many on his farm and pasture.
Do you really think Lin Fan is a fool, knowing that these creatures are dangerous, yet still not protecting them?
Not only the white-tip dolphin, but also many rare aquatic products from the Yellow and Yangtze Rivers can be found in Lin Fan's space.
Does the swordfish know?
Yangtze River Knife!
That thing, a piece of four taels, sells for 3,500 yuan in modern times!
In modern times, Yangtze knives cannot be cultivated artificially, so the wild ones are being eaten to extinction.
Even the seedlings of Yangtze Knife cost more than 300 yuan each!
The common people have no money. Seeing that this thing is so easy to sell, it must be fished. Even if it is a closed fishing season, there will be people fishing. There is really no way.
Unless the most stringent measures are issued and every person caught is imprisoned, even this cannot be eliminated.
Looking at the birds around him, Lin Fan discovered that some parrots had already been introduced.
In fact, many parrots came in during the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and even came in during the Ming Dynasty, including some foreign parrots.
Lin Fan saw a sunflower. It looked like a small sunflower parrot. In modern times, it was forbidden to keep this kind of thing. There are only three kinds of parrots that are allowed to be kept in China in modern times, excluding sunflower parrots.
As for other parrots, once they are raised, it is easy to say that they are small, but if they are too many, they will be jailed.
Lin Fan likes Brother Myna!
Because this product is particularly good at beeping!
Moreover, Brother Myna is not bad in appearance. A good Brother Myna is good at speaking and can learn the calls of many birds. Having one is equivalent to having countless birds!
Presumably, parrots and mynas are more independent, and they are very quiet when they are quiet, but they like to move and jump around, so the breeding area needs to be large.
Starlings and the like are quite talkative, especially they love to express themselves. When they see a person, they are just like seeing a beautiful woman. They want to express themselves in every possible way.
However, Brother Myna has a higher chance of getting sick, but Lin Fan has a spiritual spring!
Lin Fan directly bought a Myna, then covered the Myna's birdcage and started wandering around. As he watched, Lin Fan's eyes widened!
A birdcage!
No, looking at the material, it’s obviously made of red sandalwood. Why doesn’t anyone buy it?
In Sijiu City, many people understand red sandalwood. You have to know that this is the root of the imperial city. To put it harshly, those who can live within the first, second and third rings may have had ancestors.
Those who are high-ranking officials still have discernment.
This red sandalwood is so blatant. If it is placed here, no one will buy it?
"Old man, your birdcage..."
"It's made of red sandalwood, can you tell?"
The old man looked at Lin Fan with a proud look on his face. Well, Lin Fan finally understood. This was just to show off.
"Indeed, can I take a look??"
"Look!"
The old man was so cheerful, and it was originally used to show off his wealth. Now, Lin Fan came closer and looked at it carefully, and then he keenly noticed that something was missing in some places.
"Uncle, is there something missing here?"
"Hey, you have a good eye, do you know your stuff?"
"Understand better. Can you give me your birdcage?"
"No, no, no!"
The old man waved his hands repeatedly, and Lin Fan thought about it. With such a good thing, Lin Fan himself would not let it go.
Lin Fan looked at it carefully again. This was a typical Wen Cage, also known as the "official seal cage". The whole cage was square, just like a box.
The whole body was made of red sandalwood, but Lin Fan was surprised to find that there were gold threads in it.
Others couldn't tell this because the gold wires were oxidized, black, or painted black, but Lin Fan could see it at a glance.
The bottom is bigger and the top is smaller, but the difference is not big.
"Good stuff!"
Really good stuff. There are 17 cage wires on each side. The thickness and spacing are almost the same. The perforations of the rungs are precise and in place, and they fit perfectly after insertion!
The whole birdcage is full of tension and the craftsmanship is amazing!
"Tsk, tsk, that's amazing!"
"Little thief, if you can figure out who did this, then we can talk about it!"
"really?"
Lin Fan looked at the old man in surprise, and the old man nodded: "Please give me a birdcage, there are not only one thousand but also eight hundred, but no one can tell who made this. As long as you can tell, then we can
Let’s talk about it, I’m too old and I can’t live for a few more years!”
Bird cages are divided into southern and northern styles.
This is normal. Domestic works of art, as long as they involve artificial art, must be divided into factions, and the simplest faction is the division of the Northern and Southern factions.
Engraving, printing, and embroidery abound.
The basic components of a birdcage include a top plate, a cage frame, a cage bar, a cage door, a cage hook, a dragon ring, a bottom ring, and a cage bottom.
