If you only do the work to build a house, you will actually earn hard money; but if you contract the work and materials, the profit will be huge.
Therefore, as soon as Su Yi mentioned that he wanted to contract work and materials, Kong Damin immediately spit and tried his best to promote this matter.
It can be seen that this person is not good at negotiating business. His sales pitch basically consists of repeatedly emphasizing that the materials he uses are solid and cheap.
Fortunately, Su Yi had no intention of looking for materials by himself, and it was not cost-effective for him to travel here and there just to save a few bucks.
Besides, why should you save your own money?
Speaking of money, who do you owe money to?
Su Yi finally asked Kong Damin to quote a price, including labor and materials, and the total price was 90 yuan.
The price shocked Su Yi.
Build a house for 90 yuan and get it all?
It costs 156 for him to buy a bicycle.
Thinking that future generations would spend millions less to buy such a house in the capital, Su Yi thought that this might be because he was used to being a leek and had never seen the world. Perhaps this was the original value of the house.
When Kong Damin saw Su Yi's expression, he hurriedly lowered the price: "Xiao Su, the minimum price is eighty-five. This price is already very low. No matter what, others have to ask you to go to ninety-five hundred. Because Sister Liu introduced me, I will give it to you."
The price is an honest price, no random bidding. Really, if you don’t believe me, just ask around..."
Su Yi said: "It's still ninety yuan, but I want to dig a cellar, how do I calculate the money?"
Kong Damin was stunned for a moment, then he said happily: "That's cool! I won't count your money for digging the cellar, it's just a matter of course."
Su Yi nodded, without being polite, and directly counted the money from his pocket and gave it to him: "Uncle Kong, I will give you the money first, then we will settle the matter."
Kong Damin hurriedly said: "This... you need to buy materials, so I won't be polite to you anymore. I'll give you a note..."
"It's not urgent." Su Yi said, "I'll prepare the materials today, and I'll tell the neighbors in advance that the construction will start tomorrow. During the construction, try not to disturb the neighbors' lives and travels."
"Don't worry about this. My workers are not the kind of people who chirp. They are all honest people with clean hands and feet. I guarantee there won't be any problems!" Kong Damin assured, patting his arms.
At this time, Su Yi saw Lou Xiao'e coming from the backyard from a distance, so he nodded to her and said hello, and then said to Kong Damin: "Uncle Kong, I plan to open the cellar here."
"This place is fine... There aren't any pipes underneath, right? It would be terrible if the pipes were dug out."
"It's up to me to dig it out, don't worry..."
The two communicated some details, and Kong Damin took the money and left happily, agreeing to come to work early tomorrow morning.
"You want to buy a house?" Lou Xiao'e said, "No wonder you are short of money."
"Sister-in-law Xiao'e, who is so busy, wants to go back to her parents' house?" Su Yi said with a smile.
"Let's go back. These are mountain goods from Damao. Let my parents take them over to try them." Lou Xiao'e said with a smile, "Hey, you're not at work. Can you lend me your bicycle? The road is too far and the things are too big.
Too much, I'm too lazy to leave..."
"It's too late." Su Yi said, "I just lent it to Aunt Liu."
"Which Aunt Liu? Deputy director of the community?" Lou Xiao'e said in surprise, "Yes, you have a wide network of friends."
"They introduced me to people and ran errands for me." Su Yi explained and planned to say goodbye.
Unexpectedly, Lou Xiao'e's eyes lit up and she said, "You want to go on a blind date? Which girl?"
"I haven't even seen him, where do you know where to go?" Su Yi shook his head.
"Hey, I have a good sister, do you want to invite us to meet her at dinner tonight?" Lou Xiao'e said with interest, "She is pretty and has a good personality. Her family is in business, which is similar to ours.
Family friend."
"Can you cook?" Su Yi asked.
"Probably not." Lou Xiao'e thought for a while, "Their family has always used servants, but she can speak English, German and French. She is very knowledgeable and can also write poetry."
"She was eliminated!" Su Yi said, "What I want in my wife is someone who can wash my clothes, cook and take care of me. I don't want to raise a young mistress."
"You, you are looking for someone to spend your life with. Isn't the compatibility of souls more important?" Lou Xiao'e glared at Su Yi, "Looking for a wife is not a servant. You must have a common topic.
Being like-minded is the most important thing.”
"This is impossible." Su Yi sighed.
common topic?
He said that in the infinite multiverse, which woman could have a passionate chat with him?
Like-minded?
He said that he would be promoted to the best actor in all the worlds. Which woman could have such an ambition?
The best woman Su Yi has met so far is Wen Hui. Do Su Yi and her have anything in common?
Besides, Su Yi has no pursuit of love now, and he is very sure that it is basically impossible for him to find a woman he loves to spend his life with. He doesn't want to settle for second best or even make do again, so he might as well find someone who loves him and can make him
Think of it as a woman of heaven.
An independent woman like Wen Hui is obviously not good enough, and neither is the wealthy lady Lou Xiao'e mentioned.
What's the use of knowing three languages? How many tricks can you use? For Su Yi, this is the biggest and only role.
"In short, you must be able to wash clothes, cook and take care of men, you can also take care of children in the future, and you must be beautiful. These are my requirements." Su Yi said, "It doesn't matter whether you are educated or have a job. If you don't meet the requirements I mentioned,
I don’t even want President Beacon’s daughter!”
"Oh, let me give you the chance to give you the daughter of President Beacon? Do you know who you are? Even if you want to marry her, you have to be worthy." Lou Xiao'e curled her lips and said sarcastically, "I don't think you are asking for it.
I've found you in the capital. There are no big girls in the capital who are willing to be good wives, mothers, husbands and raise children at home. Go to the surrounding mountains and villages, there might be beautiful village girls waiting for you."
"Village girls are pretty good too." Su Yi said with a smile, "Actually, I really think I have to find someone from the countryside."
"Mud can't hold up a wall." Lou Xiao'e said angrily, "I'll talk to you carefully during dinner tonight, and I have to get rid of your ridiculously wrong idea!"
"I'll give you a vaccination in advance. I won't go if there are outsiders!" Su Yi saw Lou Xiao'e's intention to kill first and then show off.
"You will definitely be fascinated by her as soon as you see her!" Lou Xiao'e said, "She is so beautiful and has a very good temperament."
"Color is empty, beauty is of no use to me." Su Yi said.
"Isn't there something beautiful in your request?" Lou Xiao'e said.
"Empty is color. If it's not beautiful, I don't need it." Su Yi smiled and waved his hand, "I also made an appointment with Aunt Liu. I won't talk to you anymore. Goodbye!"
"Hey!" Lou Xiao'e wanted to call Su Yi, but Su Yi was already gone.
"This man is really weird." Lou Xiao'e shook her head as if she couldn't figure it out.
The third aunt across from the door sneaked over like a cat and said mysteriously: "Xiao'e, I just heard what you said. You said that on the condition of aiding Korea, he can really let go of the good girls in the city and find a rural place.
Of?"
"It's hard to say." Lou Xiao'e said, "College students have different ideas from us ordinary people."
The third aunt said: "No matter how different we are, we still get points, right? Our daughter-in-law has a cousin who also works in their factory. Do you think I should help them match her?"
Lou Xiao'e said in surprise: "Third aunt, you can hold me if you want. Why do you ask me?"
"Didn't I just hear that you invited the North Korean government to have dinner tonight?" The third aunt said with a smile, "I was thinking about letting her cousin go directly to your house. The young people will be familiar with having a meal together. If it can be done,
You can be considered to have made a good marriage, and your merits are immeasurable..."
"Third aunt, your family is really..." Lou Xiao'e was so shocked that she couldn't say anything, "I'm telling you, this thing can't be done. It's not that I can't bear to eat with many people, but Su Yuanchao just said that he won't go if there are outsiders at night!
I'm debating whether to bring my sister or not."
The third aunt said: "If you agree to let that cousin go to your house for dinner, I will give you an idea. I can't say anything about it."
"What's the idea?" Lou Xiao'e was curious.
"Promise first." A sly look flashed in the third aunt's eyes.
"Okay, okay, I agree!" Lou Xiao'e said.
The third aunt then smiled and whispered into Lou Xiao'e's ear.
Lou Xiao'e's eyes gradually brightened, and she gave a thumbs up to the third aunt: "You are still the best when you are old, third aunt, you are the one!"
On the other side, Su Yi arrived at the place he had made an appointment with Liu Guifen - Dongzhimen Bridge.
The Dongzhimen Bridge at this time was not the overpass of later generations, nor was it the same place.
Walk to the end of Donghefang and cross an alley to reach the moat.
There is an old wooden bridge here, which originally had no name, but because it is located next to Dongzhimen, it is called Dongzhimen Bridge.
It is relatively secluded here, unlike other parts of the river that are smelly and dirty, so Liu Guifen regards it as a good place for blind dates. She has often made good marriages here.
When Su Yi arrived, Liu Guifen had not arrived yet, and there was only one policeman looking around.
Policewoman.
Su Yi had some doubts about whether this person was a blind date, right?
She is pretty and dashing.
But thinking about it, it shouldn't be the case. Liu Guifen is a very stable person. It's the first time she helps Su Yi introduce a partner, so she shouldn't be absent.
So Su Yi took one look and was about to look away. Unexpectedly, the female police officer looked Su Yi up and down and walked straight towards Su Yi.
This made Su Yi somewhat doubt whether his judgment was wrong.
Really a blind date?
Looking for a policewoman as a wife?
Can she cook, wash clothes and take care of the children?
"Comrade, what are you doing here?" the policewoman walked up and asked with a serious expression.
"Blind date." Su Yi said, "You are..."
"From Dongzhimen Police Station." The female police officer looked at Su Yi again, took out a small notebook and pen from her pocket, and made a gesture to record, "Please cooperate with the routine inspection, name, age."
Su Yi said: "Comrade, are you here for a blind date? Deputy Director Liu..."
"Please cooperate with my work!" The policewoman frowned, "Now I am asking you a question."
"Su Yuanchao, 23 years old." Su Yi shrugged helplessly, "An employee of the Red Star Rolling Mill, living in No. 32 Nanluogu Lane."
"You have a job? Then why don't you go to work?" the policewoman asked, "Why are you wandering around here so early in the morning? Why did you come to this remote place?"
"I just said, I'm here for a blind date, and this is the place I made an appointment with." Su Yi said, "As for whether I go to work or not...the police can't control it, right?"
"Just answer whatever I ask you!" the policewoman glared.
"Are you here for a blind date?" Su Yi couldn't help but ask again.
"I ask you, why don't you go to work!" the policewoman asked every word, with a serious expression.
Su Yi looked at her suspiciously, but answered her question: "I'm out on the field, so I took the time to go on a blind date."
"You deserted at work and were so irresponsible at work?" the female police officer asked, "How can you build the four modernizations like you?"
Su Yi sighed and said, "I'm so sorry. I'll go back to work and work hard for construction... for the rest of my life. Goodbye!"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
The policewoman was a little dumbfounded and hurriedly called him: "Hey, I didn't let you go!"
"Why don't you leave? We are not suitable for each other." Su Yi turned around and said.
"Why are you so sure that I'm here to go on a blind date with you?" The policewoman looked at Su Yi curiously.
"I wasn't sure at first, but now I'm sure," Su Yi said.
"You lied to me!" the policewoman pointed at Su Yi with wide eyes.
"Maliciousness from Shen Yanzi +88..."
Su Yi said: "It's a blind date, why do you have to act like you're interrogating a prisoner?"
Shen Yanzi said depressedly: "Aunt Liu praised you as the best in the world. I don't believe there is such a good person, so I want to see it with my own eyes. But if it is a blind date, everyone will try to show their good side. I can't see it."
I saw your true self, that’s why I did this. You are quite smart, you saw through me so quickly."
"Where's Aunt Liu?" Su Yi asked.
"I locked her in my office." Shen Yanzi said, "Oh, even if I can't help her, she introduced me to several people and it didn't work."
After a pause, Shen Yanzi looked at Su Yi and said, "But you're still good, you have a good mind, and you're also very courageous. Several men were almost scared to death by me before."
Su Yi couldn't help but laugh: "Who dares to do this to you?"
"If you don't even have the courage to do so, you are definitely not suitable for me." Shen Yanzi said disdainfully, "But why did you say that we are not suitable? Could it be that you were scared by me? This is my strategy. In normal life, I
Not so."
"I want to find someone like a little bird, can you do it?" Su Yi asked.
"Didn't Aunt Liu say that she can cook, wash clothes and take care of the children?" Shen Yanzi frowned, "Did you add more requirements or did Aunt Liu stop spreading the word?"
"You? Cook and wash clothes?" Su Yi looked at Shen Yanzi and believed her when he saw her slightly rough hands.
"Who are you looking down on?" Shen Yanzi said, "I cooked all the meals when I was in junior high school. What's so hard about doing laundry?"
Su Yi said: "Aunt Liu's message was correct, but you may have understood it a little wrong. Being able to wash clothes and cook, and being responsible for washing clothes and cooking are two different things. You are a policeman, so I don't need to tell you what the nature of your job is, right?
It’s normal to work overtime and stay up late, and it’s normal to be away from home for a few days if you have work to do. Can you be responsible for the housework of washing clothes and cooking at home every day?”
