These dilapidated houses are all in dilapidated appearance, with incomplete roof tiles and damaged wooden beams.
Cao Weidong took Master Liu to the room.
Talk in parallel.
"I have no requirements for the level of decoration. From the outside, it should be similar to the surrounding houses. There is no need to make it special, but the decoration materials must be realistic."
Master Liu quickly said:
"You are a guest introduced by Mr. Lou, I can't cheat you."
Cao Weidong nodded.
"Well, I need to reinforce all these houses. I will replace the tiles on the roof with new ones, replace the beams where they need to be replaced, repair the places that need to be repaired, and I will figure out how to use the wood."
He has accumulated a lot of connections and can get high-quality wood, which comes in handy at this time.
Then Cao Weidong pointed to the wall and said:
"The middle wall has also been opened up, and the space has been completely reorganized and divided into two rooms, inside and outside. The inside is the bedroom, and the outside is the living room."
"The same goes for the three side-by-side rooms next to them. They were opened up and turned into a kitchen and living room."
"It's best to bring the tap water from the yard and set up a separate water outlet in the kitchen."
"As for lighting, my idea is to open skylights on the roof, but you must do a good job in waterproofing."
"And here..."
"Here..."
Cao Weidong has a lot to say.
Master Liu listened while writing and drawing on the manuscript paper.
Eyes as bright as light bulbs.
Oh my god, I hit a big deal today.
After finishing this order, it will be enough for him to eat for half a year.
Thinking of this, Master Liu became even more concerned.
Cao Weidong asked at this time.
"By the way, can you order the furniture here?"
Master Liu said quickly.
"Okay, I have a cousin who is amazing at craftsmanship and can do anything."
Cao Weidong nodded.
"Then you can find him here too. If the craftsmanship is good, I will customize the entire furniture together."
When getting married in the 1970s, it was important to pay attention to "three turns and one ring" and "seventy-two legs".
But at this time, if anyone has "thirty-six legs" in his family, he is considered an absolute rich man.
The so-called thirty-six legs are a cabinet, a cabinet, a table, four chairs, and a bed.
Exactly eight kinds.
Master Liu was overjoyed when he heard this.
"I have written down all your requirements. I will think about it when I go back and finalize the decoration details with you in the evening."
He put the manuscript paper into his pocket and confirmed it carefully.
"Guest, I just made a rough estimate. If you include the work, materials, and furniture for the entire house, the cost of your work will be at least about two hundred yuan."
"The material cost is one hundred and seventy, the wages are thirty, and the construction period is thirty days."
"If you decide to do it, you have to pay me half of the deposit in advance so that I can purchase decoration materials."
Cao Weidong didn't know whether Master Liu's asking price was high or low.
He has money in his pocket, but he doesn't want to be taken advantage of.
So he declined:
"Master Liu, let's finalize the decoration plan tonight, and then we'll talk about money."
Taking advantage of the opportunity, he planned to find a few knowledgeable people to inquire about prices.
But don’t be taken for granted.
Master Liu nodded repeatedly and took a ride away.
Cao Weidong also returned to the steel rolling mill.
It was lunch time at this time.
He put his marching bag in the office, picked up his lunch box, and asked Xu Aiguo to go to the cafeteria to get lunch together.
Xu Aiguo said happily:
"Director, you are really here today. We have pig meat dishes in the canteen, four meat and two vegetables."
"Really? The pig has been killed?"
"It was slaughtered yesterday. Several chefs from our brothers' units helped to slaughter it."
The two of them walked into the canteen together as they spoke.
Today's four-meat and two-vegetarian menu hangs on the wall. There are hard dishes such as pork vermicelli and twice-cooked pork. They are all special dishes that don't require a ticket.
Early in the morning, employees lined up at the food outlet.
When it was their turn, Shazhu enthusiastically took Cao Weidong's lunch box and filled him with a large bowl of meat and vegetables.
Xu Aiguo did not have this kind of treatment, so he could only look at it with envy and his mouth watering.
"Xiao Cao, sit here."
At this time, someone called him in the hall.
Cao Weidong looked up and found that it was Director Li, so he walked over with the lunch box.
Li Ping'an also felt a little sore when he saw Cao Weidong's prominent lunch box.
"Your kid's cards are bigger than mine."
Cao Weidong chuckled and said: "The main reason is that you are popular, how about I give you a quick wife?"
"Farewell, I am a great director, how can I take advantage of my subordinates?"
Li Ping'an waved his hand and said.
"Don't leave in a hurry at night. The two factory directors are going to open a small canteen to entertain us factory cadres. Hehe, I will eat more then."
"I remember."
Cao Weidong was wondering why the factory directors didn't come over just now, but then he realized that the emotional people had already planned to open a small stove.
At this time, Xu Aiguo also came over with a lunch box.
The three of them chatted while eating.
Li Ping'an changed his style and talked about the new intern doctor who recently arrived in the medical office.
"That girl is so radiant. She is so white that she looks like she is glowing. She looks like a fairy. I made two trips to the medical station today."
Cao Weidong is a little funny.
"You are so blatant and you are not afraid that your sister-in-law will come and kill you?"
Then he touched Xu Aiguo with his elbow.
"Is the new doctor pretty? Is he really as evil as our director says?"
But Cao Weidong is destined to be disappointed.
Xu Aiguo is a man born to work.
At this time, he was only focused on eating and said casually.
"I feel like I'm just an average person...by the way, the fried pork is really fragrant and delicious."
Li Ping'an was unconvinced.
"Why is it so ordinary? If you meet a real person, you will definitely..."
His voice stopped suddenly.
Then, the noisy cafeteria became quiet.
Li Pingan reached out and stabbed Cao Weidong.
"Look, look...that is the fairy I mentioned, she has descended to earth."
Cao Weidong turned around and looked.
Standing in the crowd was a girl with fair skin and tall figure. She stood among a group of uniformed employees, like a bright light in the darkness.
Cao Weidong almost choked on his food.
It turned out to be Ding Qiunan.
"Strange, isn't she in the machine repair shop? How come she was transferred to the steel rolling mill?"
Cao Weidong whispered.
At this time, Li Ping'an leaned into Cao Weidong's ear.
"How about it, what I said is good, just like a fairy."
Cao Weidong nodded and smiled.
"This girl's name is Ding Qiunan. I've met her in a subordinate unit before. How come she was transferred to our factory?"
Li Pingan shook his head.
"I don't know, I heard it was introduced by Director Meng... Look, she's here, is she here to see me?"
Seeing Ding Qiunan getting closer and closer, Li Pingan blushed rarely and stood up coquettishly.
"Comrade Ding, my leg was scratched this morning, thank you..."
His voice stopped suddenly.
Ding Qiunan went straight past Li Pingan and walked to Cao Weidong.
"Comrade Cao Weidong, can I sit here and eat?"
After saying just one sentence, her face turned red and her ears turned red.
Cao Weidong looked at the lost Li Ping'an in a funny way, nodded and said:
"Okay, there's no one here, you can sit here."
However, he did not realize that at this moment, a pair of vicious eyes were watching Cao Weidong from a distance.
