Chapter 22 Decoration

The days of having an affair are always sweet, but the happy time is always short-lived. Just ten days after the Hard Rock trip, Sister Eileen boarded a plane to return to China. Hong Tao followed Sam and sent the sisters to the airport before they broke up.

At that time, the two sisters threw Sam aside and ignored each other. One of them gave Hong Tao an affectionate hug and kiss, which made Sam very, very sad. On the way home, they kept asking Hong Tao if he could not be as good as a great father.

A not-so-handsome foreign boy that I have only been in contact with for less than a month?

After sending away Sister Irene, Hong Tao spent a few days recuperating at home, and then started testing his baits again. These baits had been out for almost two months. As a result, their effects basically remained the same, so that they can be used in the future.

The bait is sold according to this proportion. As for the longer shelf life, it is of no use to Hong Tao at present. Whoever buys this simply packaged bait will not use it in the short term.

September 1st is the first day of school for students, and it is also the day when Hong Tao officially takes over the canteen. In fact, the canteen has not been open since he signed the rental contract with Fatty Gao, and the goods inside have begun to be evacuated. Originally, Hong Tao was still Gao.

Fatty Gao thought of giving him an idea. The unsold food could occupy a counter in the fishing tackle store and continue to be sold. But Fatty Gao laughed after hearing this, patted Hong Tao on the shoulder and said:

"Brother, I appreciate your kindness. Don't worry about me. This food can't be wasted. I'll give it to the kindergarten children if they can eat it. If they can't eat it, each department in the unit will give it to them as welfare."

Since he didn't have to worry about it, Hong Tao felt more at ease. That day, he and Fatty Gao got the house key, and then roughly discussed his decoration plan with the four decoration workers introduced by Fatty Gao, and paid for part of the project in advance.

If you pay, everything will be fine again.

As his first small business in this life, Hong Tao is very attached to this fishing gear store. From the decoration plan to the layout of the store, he personally worked it out on the table one stroke at a time. The decoration of the store is still simple and practical.

For the main purpose, just scrape putty on the wall and paint it a few times and it will be fine. The main color is still white; just lay some floor tiles on the ground. The wooden floor is too difficult to maintain, and there are so many people coming and going.

It won't take more than two months and it will be a broken board.

The original back room was also used as an office and warehouse, with a desk, a single sofa, file cabinets, safes, etc., where you can work and discuss business, and the free space can also be used for storage.

Some more expensive goods.

The large room outside is still a pawn shop, and the original glass counters and shelves are still in the backyard. They are 80% new and have not been used much. They just need a good brushing. This is what Fatty Gao gave to Hong Tao for free.

Yes, according to what he said, if Hong Tao didn't want them, he would have to find a junk collector to sell them all, and there would be no place to put them in the unit.

In addition to the counter and shelves, Hong Tao also plans to put a corner sofa in a corner of the room. Tea tables are not popular yet, so there is nowhere to buy one. He will get a coffee table and put a teapot on it. Regular customers are coming.

It's very cozy to chat and drink some tea on the sofa.

This is the layout of the house, and there is nothing to decorate outside. Although this place was originally a canteen, the security measures are really in line with its status as a subordinate unit of a major ministry. The entire facade is equipped with rolling shutter doors and windows. When it is closed,

When you arrive, you only need to pull down the three steel rolling shutter doors and ask for the key to lock them. The two large glass windows and the main door are all sealed. If you want to enter here, you have to go from the kindergarten to the backyard of the fishing tackle shop.

Xiaomen, the gatekeeper of the kindergarten is not given for free. As long as it is someone you don't know, he can ask questions about your ancestors for eight generations. Moreover, the gate of the kindergarten is usually closed, so you can't even sneak in!

The backyard of this fishing tackle shop is not small, with an area of ​​more than 30 square meters. It is a rectangle. Except for two broken bicycles that I don’t know who threw it here, there is nothing clean in it. Because the front of the yard is

Behind the fishing gear store is the side of the kindergarten building, so it’s very cool here in the summer. When Fatty Gao has nothing to do, he takes a bamboo deck chair and lies here to take a nap.

Hong Tao didn't have much use for this small courtyard for the time being, so he didn't bother to clean it up. He wanted to wait until he had more money before thinking about the use of this courtyard, but he got rid of the two bicycles with wheels and few seats.

They are trash. According to Fatty Gao, these two cars have been around since he was transferred here to work. They are almost treasures of the town. I don’t even know who threw them here.

These four decoration workers are all temporary workers in the kindergarten. Their work skills are not to mention. They usually handle all the repairs in the kindergarten, from the blower in the boiler room to the TV in the dean’s office, from repairing the roof.

He is proficient in everything from waterproofing to building and decorating houses, and he can be regarded as an all-around practical talent. However, one thing makes Hong Tao very depressed. These people work meticulously and meticulously, but it is too slow. They also go to work from 8 a.m. to 5 a.m. at noon.

I also rested for an hour and a half, then drank tea, chatted and smoked cigarettes, etc., so there was no time for work in the whole day.

Fortunately, their wages are not calculated on a daily basis, but the work and materials are contracted. Even if they work for 2 years, Hong Tao will not have to pay a penny more for wages. In addition, Fatty Gao also gave him 2 months to decorate.

, Hong Tao doesn’t have the nerve to push others. For employees like this who are used to working in state-owned enterprises, it’s useless if you push them. They have developed habits. If you make others annoying, they will have many tricks to deal with you. In the end,

It's you who suffers.

In fact, Hong Tao really wronged these people. They did not intend to delay the construction period, but this work is private work and it is not easy to do it in private time. If other people in the kindergarten find out, some rumors will inevitably arise.

Therefore, they can only go to work day by day as if they were working normally to deal with government tasks, so that outsiders will see that they are working for the government and will not be suspicious.

It doesn't matter what they do to Hong Tao, where is the 10-day construction period? Even if they delay a little longer, they can still finish the job in 15 days. Hong Tao thought about it for a while, I'm afraid he won't be able to catch up with the fishing season this summer. The newly renovated

The house needs to dry out for a few days to dissipate the moisture and paint smell, plus the work of purchasing goods and putting them on shelves, it will be good to open in October.

It’s not a pity that we can’t catch up with the great summer fishing season. Fishing can be done all year round in the south, and basically all year round in the north. Some people say that you are talking nonsense. When winter comes in the north, the water on the water freezes. You

Go fishing on the ice. Hey, you are really right. In the winter in the north, fishing is done on the ice.

Ice fishing is a unique fishing method in the north. Fishermen here generally take fishing tackle and some special equipment to the ice when the ice freezes to a certain thickness, depending on the freezing time and weather temperature.

Caught.

The principle of ice fishing is actually similar to that of summer fishing, except that the fishing rod used is very short, about 1 meter in length, with a small fishing reel on the rod, and the hooks and fishing lines used are also slightly smaller. In winter,

The main bait used in ice fishing is live bait. As the name suggests, it is living bait, that is, small bugs, such as earthworms, red worms (a type of mosquito larvae that can be artificially raised), mealworms, etc.

The only thing that is different from fishing in summer is that ice fishing requires breaking the ice surface, making a hole in the ice, and then putting the fishhook into the hole for fishing. This requires some special tools. Generally speaking, these tools

There are ice picks, ice augers, and ice picks. The ice pick is a large chisel. It is welded with steel pipes and steel bars according to individual heights. The tip is ground into a square, triangular or flat shape, and is used to cut ice.

For surface use.

The ice auger is similar to the thing we use to open a red wine cork. It is a large spiral screwdriver with a horizontal handle welded to the upper end. When using it, first use an ice auger to carve a small pit on the ice surface, and then remove the ice.

Aim the tip of the drill at the small pit and turn the horizontal handle above. The ice drill will slowly penetrate into the ice like a drill bit and drill a hole in the ice surface corresponding to the diameter of the ice drill.
