Chapter 1697: The Countdown to Breaking the Game (2)
"Boss Qi, if I hand over these buildings to you, how many days will it take you to complete them?" Qin Yu pondered for a while and then asked.
"It will take a week at the earliest." Qi Cheng thought for a moment and replied.
"So slow?" Ye Tao frowned. He had almost completed the work in just over two days.
"There is no way. I don't have many people in the construction team here. At most, they start work on both sides at the same time. Therefore, if we want to finish it all, it will take a week at the fastest. We have to work overtime and work at night, otherwise it will be all over the place.
It may not be completed yet." Qi Cheng replied with a wry smile.
"One week..." Qin Yu thought for a moment, "That's okay, then let Boss Qi do the project. As for how much it will cost, Ye Tao, you can talk to Boss Qi."
As soon as Qin Yu said these words, Qi Cheng's face showed joy, and Ye Tao on the side curled his lips. However, since it was Brother Qin who spoke, he could only do it. As for the money, he couldn't use it anyway.
He comes out.
"Okay, then I will ask my construction team to come over now. As for the price, except for the materials, Mr. Ye and I have talked about it before." Qi Cheng couldn't wait to take out his mobile phone and was about to make a call.
For Qi Cheng, this is a big deal, and it is also the first business for his construction team in more than a year. The workers in the construction team have to support their families, and they have to pay wages when they have no work to do.
salary.
Otherwise, the workers in the construction team will have to find other jobs. Once they work in another line of work, they are almost useless. This is the case with the Feng Shui craftsman profession. If you work as a Feng Shui craftsman, you cannot do other jobs, because
There are many taboos in it.
Otherwise, Qi Cheng would have changed careers long ago just by relying on the ancestral training. It is because after entering this industry, there is no way out. Every industry has its ancestors, and they also have their own industry.
I made a promise before that I would only be a Feng Shui craftsman in this life.
Now that Qi Cheng went to call the construction team, Qin Yu stayed because Qi Cheng said it would take at least a week to complete the project, so his time would not be so tight.
He and Qi Cheng chatted for a while. An hour later, Qi Cheng's cell phone rang. At that moment, Qi Cheng apologized to Qin Yu and ran down the mountain in a hurry. These were the workers who picked him up.
Went.
"Brother Qin, although I don't think this guy with the surname Qi is a liar, this person feels like a beggar who has been hungry for several days. After seeing the food bureau, he can't wait to stuff it into his mouth. That's it.
Can you safely leave it to him?"
Ye Tao is still a little distrustful of Qi Cheng. People actually have such a shameful heart. It's like, if a Feng Shui master like Qin Yu was not invited by the Ye family several times, but Qin Yu took the initiative to attach himself to the Ye family,
Talking about solving the situation of Guangzhou Feng Shui being suppressed, I am afraid that the Ye family will not pay so much attention to Qin Yu, and now Qi Cheng is in such a situation.
Those who are rushing up are definitely not good. This is Ye Tao's mentality at the moment.
Regarding Ye Tao's mentality, Qin Yu just smiled. He could more or less guess Qi Cheng's predicament. The profession of Feng Shui craftsman was not as good as before, but he couldn't retreat after entering the industry. At least Qi Cheng couldn't. If he guessed correctly,
If so, Qi Cheng should have worshiped the Patriarch. In ancient times, in addition to being highly skilled, the leader of Feng Shui craftsmen must have worshiped the Patriarch.
Therefore, for Qi Cheng, this business is considered a big deal. If it is not open for one year, it will take three years for it to be open.
"Just let Qi Cheng ask for the price." Qin Yu told Ye Tao that there are not many Feng Shui craftsmen in the industry anymore, so he can help if he can. Just like today, if it weren't for Qi Cheng, his layout
It may be a failure.
Moreover, there might be some place where I can use Qi Cheng's construction team in the future, so recruiting Qi Cheng now is also a way to prepare for a rainy day. If Qi Cheng's construction team really breaks up, where will I find people temporarily?
The money it costs to raise a construction team is just a drop in the bucket for Qin Yu now.
"Yeah." Ye Tao nodded. He knew clearly that Qin Yu definitely didn't suddenly have any kind intentions. There must be a reason for saying so, and he just had to follow it.
Ten minutes later, Qi Cheng appeared in the sight of Qin Yu and Ye Tao again. Behind Qi Cheng, there were more than a dozen men. The oldest was almost fifty years old, and the youngest was probably thirty years old.
Coming forward.
"Mr. Qin, this is the person from our construction team."
Qi Cheng followed Qin Yu and introduced his workers. Qin Yu smiled and greeted these workers and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Time is a little tight, so we may have to rush the work, but don't worry, we will do it this time."
Pay double the price."
When Qin Yu finished speaking, the workers' faces showed joy, but Qi Cheng was stunned for a moment, because he had already negotiated the price with Ye Tao, and now Mr. Qin suddenly said that he would add one
Times the money, doesn’t that mean...
Qin Yu patted Qi Cheng's shoulder and said nothing, but Qi Cheng's face showed a trace of gratitude. Originally, the price he offered could maintain the construction team for more than a year while supporting the family, but now
With twice the money, although the workers were paid twice as much, his own income also doubled. How could he not be grateful to Qin Yu.
"Don't worry, Mr. Qin, we will finish the job within a week. If we can't finish the job..." Qi Cheng was a little excited and almost said that if the job couldn't be finished, he would not take the money. However, he sobered up at the last moment and didn't think about it.
Speak loudly.
Qin Yu looked at Qi Cheng's excitement and sighed in his heart. It seemed that Qi Cheng's life was indeed very difficult, otherwise it would be impossible for him to express such emotions.
"Don't worry about it, Boss Qi. This is what you deserve. And if it weren't for Boss Qi's reminder this time, the loss would be even greater for me. I think there will be opportunities to cooperate with Boss Qi in the future."
Qi Cheng nodded heavily, said nothing more, turned to the workers behind him and said, "Everyone heard what Mr. Qin said, let's start work now."
The two workers under Qi Cheng came out with a snakeskin bag. Then, one of them reached in and after a while, they grabbed a rooster from inside.
"Qi Gong, this is a rooster that my family has raised for six years. Do you think it will work?"
The worker grabbed a rooster from the bag, which shocked Ye Tao, because the rooster just screamed at him so loudly that it almost broke his eardrums.
"This cock is nice."
Qi Cheng took the rooster with a smile and touched the chicken's neck a few times. The rooster immediately stopped crowing. Then, another worker took out some incense paper and an incense burner, looked at their positions, and finally placed them on the
On the ground.
"Brother Qin, what are they doing?" Ye Tao asked with some confusion. Aren't they just a group of construction workers? Why are they acting like Taoist priests?
"Opening ceremony." Qin Yu smiled. This is a necessary ceremony for Feng Shui craftsmen to start work, just like a carpenter would pay homage to Lu Ban before starting work. Of course, today's carpenters may not have this rule, and some old carpenters still retain it.
According to this tradition, when doing work for the master of the house, one must first worship Lu Ban. If there is no statue of Lu Ban at home, one should use an ink pipe instead. Only after worshiping the ink pipe can one start working for the master.
When Qin Yu said this, Qi Cheng handed the rooster to the worker, picked up twelve incense sticks, lit them, bowed three times in all directions, and then inserted the twelve incense sticks into the incense burner.
Then, he picked up the rooster and sang in a loud voice: "Hold the rooster in your right hand. This rooster is not a mortal chicken, but a time-telling rooster under the Jade Emperor. Holding this rooster, it has the spirit of heaven above its head and the spirit of the earth under its feet..."
While reading this, Qi Cheng clicked the rooster in his hand toward the sky and the ground twice, and then continued to sing: "The divine rooster commands one hundred thousand divine soldiers, one hundred thousand ghost soldiers, and now a group of soldiers have arrived to break ground."
, The gate of the broken sky opens, the gate of the broken earth opens, the gate of the broken temple opens, the male and female of the earth get out of the way, the big pickaxe is raised high, a real dragon's cave is dug out with a pickaxe, and the wealth of all generations is knocked down with a hammer."
"The big pickaxe is raised high, and the real dragon's cave is dug out with one pickaxe, and the wealth of all generations is knocked down with one hammer."
The workers sang along, with great momentum, attracting the attention of all the construction workers who had stopped.
After the chanting, another worker took out a bunch of firecrackers. After Qi Cheng placed the rooster on the ground, the worker lit the firecrackers. The crackling sound of the firecrackers scared the rooster and spread its wings and flew away into the distance. Soon, it disappeared.
He disappeared deep in the forest.
Qi Cheng glanced at the direction where the rooster disappeared. After a long time, he looked away and said, "Okay, we're done, we can start construction."
"Mr. Qin, can you show me the detailed drawings?" Qi Cheng walked towards Qin Yu. Qin Yu gave Ye Tao a look, and Ye Tao immediately took out a drawing from his document bag and handed it to him.
Qi Orange.
"Well, it's almost the same as the book left by my ancestors. There are just some differences in details. It's not a big problem." Qi Cheng looked at the drawing carefully for a while and said to Qin Yu.
"Then it's all thanks to Boss Qi and these masters." Qin Yu nodded and watched Qi Cheng and his construction team hand over work with the original construction workers. Of course, not all of these construction workers left, but remained.
Then I'll start with a dozen or so.
"Ye Tao, have you noticed the difference between the masters of Qi Cheng's construction team and ordinary architects?" Qin Yu looked at it for a while and asked Ye Tao beside him.
"No, they all feel the same." Ye Tao stared at them carefully for a while and replied, he really didn't see any difference.
"The most obvious difference is that when you look at ordinary construction workers, when they are underground, they sometimes cross their feet or stand irregularly, but Qi Cheng's construction team, these people's feet are very stable.
, almost never move in one place, and the feet always maintain a parallel distance." (To be continued)
