Seeing that it was still early in the day, Ye Tian strolled towards his courtyard. There were many places where the formations and formations were located. The slightest difference could cause them to lose their effect, so Ye Tian still had to keep an eye on them.
"Auntie, do you sell vegetables?"
"Brother Six, be careful of your waist, you have to take your time when playing with barbells..."
"Uncle Sun, where are you taking a walk? Your thrush calls are getting better and better!"
After that haunted incident, Ye Tian, the owner of the haunted house, has become somewhat famous in this courtyard gathering area, constantly greeting people wherever he passes.
Ye Tian enjoys this kind of life very much. A greeting from neighbors can often make people feel comfortable for a while. In addition, this courtyard house is full of old neighbors who have lived together for decades.
"This sentence.
"Uncle Wei, why are you free today?"
As soon as he stepped into his yard, Ye Tian raised his eyes and saw Wei Hongjun. He was sitting under the big locust tree in the front yard, discussing something with Wang Gong.
"I called your cell phone just now, but there was no signal, so I came to find you." Seeing Ye Tian come back, Wei Hongjun waved and said, "I really have something to tell you..."
"Don't look at me, it's not my own business, it's your house's business..."
Wei Hongjun knew that Ye Tian was afraid of trouble, that he had nothing important to do, and that he would not use the favors that Ye Tian owed him. When he saw Ye Tian frowning, he couldn't help but laugh and curse.
"What's wrong with the house? Aren't all the blueprints out? Wang Gong, what happened?"
Ye Tian was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He knew that the evil spirit in the courtyard had not yet gone away, but Ye Tian slightly changed the Yang Gathering Formation in the backyard, making the Yang energy in the backyard a little thicker.
Moreover, the yang energy is relatively strong during the day, and the workers who work are in good health. It stands to reason that as long as there is no construction work at night, there will generally be no problems.
"It has nothing to do with me. The boss will tell you this." Wang Gong shook his head and said with a smile: "I'll go to the backyard to take a closer look. The work you asked for is too delicate. I'm afraid they will ruin it..."
"Uncle Wei, why don't you just say it?" After Wang Gong left, Ye Tian looked at Wei Hongjun.
Wei Hongjun waved his hand to signal Ye Tian to sit down, took a bottle of mineral water and threw it over, then said: "Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that Mr. Wang called me and said that the prices of some building materials have increased.
Let me ask your opinion, should I find something cheap to use?"
"What material?" Ye Tian has a strong back now, so if the price goes up, the price will go up. Anyway, he has money on hand.
Wei Hongjun pointed to a few color pages on the stone table and said: "The price of white marble has gone up. I didn't use this stuff before and I don't know much about the market. Today, Gong Wang sent someone to inquire. Good guy, the price has changed."
Several times..."
Originally, according to Wei Hongjun's wishes, the project to renovate Ye Tian's courtyard house would only require a small charge for labor. He helped Ye Tian provide materials and other materials. However, Ye Tian did not agree at first, so Wei Hongjun just followed the market conditions.
budget.
But today, Gong Wang called him and said that the price of white marble had increased several times and the entire budget would almost double. Wei Hongjun couldn't sit still. He knew that Ye Tian was very tight now.
"Damn, it's increased so much?"
Ye Tian picked up the color page on the table and flipped to the quotation. He couldn't help but cursed when he saw it. Originally, the price quoted by Wang Gong to him was more than 3,000 yuan per cubic meter, and the price marked on the color page was
But it costs 28,000 yuan per cubic meter, which is almost ten times the price.
The so-called white marble is actually a kind of crystal white marble, which is white and pure in color and contains sparkling crystals, giving people a spotless and solemn beauty. The railings around the bases of the halls of the Yanjing Forbidden City are made of white marble.
Anyone who knows the industry knows that white marble is just a kind of stone and has nothing to do with jade.
But they don't know that the role of white marble in containing and channeling the vitality of heaven and earth is a hundred times stronger than ordinary stones, and is only slightly worse than real jade.
Ye Tian wanted to transform the entire courtyard into a huge magic circle, which originally required an extremely large amount of jade. How could he have so much money, so he settled for the next best thing and chose white marble instead. Although the effect is slightly inferior, it is still similar.
Far.
It can be said that apart from some house renovations, white marble is used the most in this courtyard project. Now that the price of this main material has soared, Ye Tian is naturally worried.
"Uncle Wei, it's impossible for this thing to go up so much all at once, right?"
Putting down the coloring page in his hand, Ye Tian asked in confusion, Wei Hongjun has been working on construction projects for two years. How can he not be so ignorant of the market for these rarely used building materials?
After hearing Ye Tian's words, Wei Hongjun said with some embarrassment: "Ye Tian, this is Uncle Wei's negligence. It turns out that the white marble used by our company is actually from Hunan and Sichuan. The price is very low. You said you want it?"
After using it well, I asked Mr. Wang to inquire about it. I am sorry that the price of white marble in Fangshan, Yanjing is so high..."
The white marble produced in China can only be called white marble from Fangshan, Yanjing. However, because this stone is white and pure in color, it is liked by many people, so many counterfeiters have followed suit.
But strictly speaking, except for the white marble produced in Dashiwo in Fangshan, Yanjing, other places are made of white rocks that are crushed, classified and separated by Raymond mill or other high-pressure mills.
After explaining clearly to Ye Tian, Wei Hongjun said: "Ye Tian, this matter is due to Uncle Wei's negligence. I will help you advance the money. But Ye Tian, if it is for good looks, you can use the ones produced in Henan."
, similar in appearance to Fangshan white marble..."
"No, Uncle Wei, I have to use Fangshan white marble. Please don't change it for me. Tell me, how much is the total over budget?"
Ye Tian shook his head, what a joke, synthetic white marble has no effect on him. If Wei Hongjun hadn't come to tell him about this, if he had used synthetic marble on his own initiative, he would wait until the house was built.
In the end, Ye Tian probably felt like hanging himself.
Wei Hongjun took out the previous budget sheet, added a few figures to it, and said, "Your project requires a total of more than thirty cubic meters of white marble. Including the money for reconstruction and decoration, the total cost is almost one hundred and fifty-six cubic meters."
It looks like one hundred thousand..."
"I...I said Uncle Wei, do you know that I have so much money?"
After hearing Wei Hongjun's words, Ye Tian was stunned and even thought about it in his mind. One of his five shortcomings was that he didn't have enough money, right? Otherwise, how could he have spent all the money he had just bought?
Are you out?
This kind of thing is not without precedent. This is what was meant by spending money to eliminate disasters in ancient times.
In the field of Feng Shui, there is also a saying that using the money gained from fortune-telling to others to do good deeds can make up for the secrets that one has revealed, thus protecting one's own integrity.
"What's wrong? Ye Tian, if you don't have the money, Uncle Wei can help you with it." Seeing Ye Tianfa stunned, Wei Hongjun thought he had no money.
"Don't worry, Uncle Wei, I'll pay for it myself..."
Ye Tian smiled bitterly, took out the card that had just transferred more than one million yuan from his pocket, and said: "There are more than one million and three hundred thousand yuan in it, you can take it, but the white marble must be from Fangshan."
, please don’t cut corners for me!”
Ye Tian also didn't expect that buying such a house would only cost more than 700,000 including transfer procedures and other procedures, but just decorating it would cost 15,600,000. When the yard was built, he would be empty-handed again.
After hearing what Ye Tian said, Wei Hongjun laughed and said: "Don't worry, Uncle Wei didn't make money from your project. By the way, are you okay tonight? Lao Lei asked me to date you a few times and said we would eat together.
A meal…”
"I don't know yet tonight. Wait, Uncle Wei, I'll take a call..."
While he was talking, Ye Tian's cell phone rang. Ye Tian looked at the number and saw that it was his father who opened it.
"Dad, what's the matter? Everything is fine at home..." Ye Tian knew that his father had gone to the countryside of Hebei to collect items during this period, so he would call him every three days to ask about the situation at home.
"What's wrong with your cell phone? You can't get through for a long time. Something happened to your cousin Lu Chen. He's in the 101 Hospital now. I'll rush back to Yanjing right away. You go and take a look first..."
Ye Dongping's tone was very urgent. After scolding his son, he hung up the phone. However, the matter became clear. The second aunt's cousin entered the hospital.
"Normally nothing will happen to my cousin's job? Besides, I gave him a protective magic weapon. What's going on?"
Listening to the "beep" sound coming from the microphone, Ye Tian frowned. Although Lu Chen was a policeman, he was a forensic doctor. He was not used for arrests or anything. Why did he end up in the hospital?
Seeing Ye Tian's face darken after answering the phone, Wei Hongjun, who was sitting beside him, asked: "Ye Tian, what's wrong?"
Wei Hongjun's words interrupted Ye Tian's contemplation. He raised his head and said, "Uncle Wei, are you driving? Take me to the 101 Hospital..."
"Something happened to the family? Come on, let's go now."
Ye Dongping's voice was a little loud just now, and even Wei Hongjun heard it. While walking out with Ye Tian, he complained: "Is there something wrong with your cell phone? It often fails to get through. The signal of this 139 number is supposed to be very good.
Yes..."
Ye Tian shook his head and said: "Uncle Wei, I will install a landline phone in this house from now on. If you need anything, you should make a phone call. Cell phones are too unreliable..."
In fact, Ye Tian knew that there was no signal on his mobile phone. Whenever he used a spell, the energy of the world around him would change, just like a signal jammer, blocking the signal of his mobile phone.
When I was helping Tang Xuexue deduce numerology today, I was afraid that the surrounding magnetic field was also disturbed, so my father and Wei Hongjun couldn't get through the phone...
