Chapter 208 Royal Gold Brick!
When Jia Dongming heard Jia Zhang's reminder, he remembered that when he just came back, Yan Bugui wanted to find a job for Yan Jiefang through him.
Thinking of these residents in the courtyard, Jia Dongming immediately realized that he had indeed thought about things too simply just now. After pondering for a moment, he quickly had an idea in his heart, and then said to Jia Zhang: "Mom! What if? I will give this work quota to the sub-district office, and then let the sub-district office assign it to the old lady of the Zhang family. Do you think this is appropriate?”
When Jia Zhang learned Jia Dongming's idea, her eyes suddenly brightened, and she reminded Jia Dongming: "Dongming! Your method is very good, but you must not let people in the courtyard know what the old lady of the Zhang family is doing. It was arranged by you.”
When Jia Dongming heard Jia Zhang's reminder, he nodded instinctively and replied: "Mom! I know what to do about this matter, so you can rest assured."
When Jia Zhang heard what Jia Dongming said, she remembered what Master Lei told her at noon, and quickly said to Jia Dongming: "Dongming! Master Lei told me at noon that when you come back, you should go to another hospital. , he has something to ask you.”
When Jia Dongming heard Jia Zhang's words, he immediately put the pawn in his arms on the ground, and then walked towards the small door.
After walking out of the small door, Jia Dongming came to his small courtyard. Looking at the grape trellis and small pavilion that had been set up in front of him, Jia Dongming showed a satisfied smile on his face.
Jia Dongming walked to the house and saw Master Lei who was working on the house. He took out a bag of large front doors from his pocket and shouted to Master Lei: "Master Lei! My mother said you have something to ask me for. I don't know. What happened?”
Master Lei, who was working, heard Jia Dongming's shout, immediately stopped what he was doing, walked quickly to Jia Dongming, and asked Jia Dongming: "Master! Is the floor of your house planned?" Should we use cement to pave it? Or use bricks? If so, my friend just has a batch of gold bricks. Do you need them? ”
Golden Bricks, also known as Imperial Kiln Bricks, are treasures in the traditional Chinese kiln brick-making industry. In ancient times, they were a high-quality floor tile used exclusively for palaces and other important buildings. Because of their fine texture, they feel like metal when struck. It is so resounding that it is named gold bricks. In later generations, a pair of Suzhou imperial kiln gold bricks handed down from generation to generation were once sold for a high price of more than 800,000 yuan.
When Jia Dongming learned that Master Lei's friend had gold bricks, his eyes suddenly brightened. He even forgot to give Master Lei a cigarette and asked Master Lei quickly: "Master Lei! I don't know about the gold bricks from your friend. How much does it cost?”
When Master Lei heard Jia Dongming's words and saw Jia Dongming's reaction, he immediately realized that Jia Dongming was a man who knew the goods. He quickly introduced to Jia Dongming: "My boss! This batch of gold bricks from my friend is specially used for The royal gold bricks used to repair the imperial city are a little more expensive. One piece costs one and a half yuan. If the quantity is large, it can be slightly cheaper.”
When Jia Dongming heard the price quoted by Master Lei, he remembered the cigarettes in his hand. He quickly took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and handed it to Master Lei. Then he asked Master Lei: "Master Lei! Look at my house. , how much will it cost in total if all are paved with gold bricks?”
When Master Lei remembered recommending gold bricks to Jia Dongming, he made a calculation based on the area of Jia Dongming's house. Now when he heard Jia Dongming ask about the specific quantity, Master Lei immediately introduced to Jia Dongming: "My boss! One gold brick is two The area of two square feet is calculated as forty-one square feet. The total number of your rooms is one hundred and twenty square feet, which requires about five thousand gold bricks."
Five thousand yuan is definitely a huge sum of money in this era. If Jia Dongming hadn't raided the enemy's lair and gained an income from it, he could only spend half of it with the money he earned from hunting.
Jia Dongming heard the calculation results given by Master Lei, and after thinking about it in his mind, he asked Master Lei: "Master Lei! Please help me ask your friend how much is the lowest price for this batch of gold bricks. If the price If appropriate, then the floor of my house will be paved with gold bricks.”
When Master Lei heard Jia Dongming's words, he nodded subconsciously and replied: "My boss! When I go back in the evening, I will ask my friend for you and I will give you an answer tomorrow."
When Jia Dongming heard Master Lei's answer, he thought of the beams in his house and asked Master Lei with a smile: "Master Lei! Do your friends have some old rosewood, huanghuali and golden nanmu? And they are still there. The kind that can be used to make house beams? ”
When Master Lei heard Jia Dongming ask about these woods, he immediately guessed what Jia Dongming was thinking and asked Jia Dongming quickly: "My boss! What kind of wood are you planning to replace your beams with?" Jia Dongming heard that Lei Lei The master asked, subconsciously He nodded and replied with a smile: "Master Lei, after I just heard you mention the gold bricks, I suddenly had this idea, but what I want is not that new material, but something that is not easy to see. old wood ”
When Master Lei heard what Jia Dongming said, he looked at Jia Dongming in surprise, and reminded Jia Dongming: "Master! The price of these woods is not cheap at all, and half of the partitions in your house have been completed. If If you replace these pieces of wood, will you have to rework it? ”
When Jia Dongming heard what Master Lei said, he smiled and said to Master Lei: "Master Lei! Money is not a problem. If you need to pay with yellow croaker, I have some here, but we still have to keep a low profile. After all, my identity is there .”
When Master Lei heard Jia Dongming's answer, he felt Jia Dongming's confidence, and immediately said to Jia Dongming: "Master! If you can pay with small yellow croakers, not to mention gold bricks, I can help you get them at a low price, even if you want I can help you get a batch of wood and furniture made from these wood.”
When Jia Dongming heard Master Lei's promise, he smiled and said to Master Lei: "Master Lei! I'll leave this matter to you. When the time comes, you can see how much money is needed. I can settle the settlement with you in small yellow croakers according to the market price."
The gold bricks that Master Lei just mentioned were actually left over from his ancestors. Originally, he wanted to exchange these gold bricks for money. Now Jia Dongming is willing to settle with him using small yellow croakers. This is undoubtedly a big deal for Master Lei. An unexpected surprise
When Master Lei heard Jia Dongming's promise, he immediately assured Jia Dongming: "Master! Don't worry, I promise to help you handle this matter properly."
When Jia Dongming heard Master Lei's promise and thought of the price of these things in future generations, he was also very excited. However, thinking of the storm a few years later, Jia Dongming reminded Master Lei in a low voice: "Master Lei! My family I hope that as few people as possible know about the use of these materials.”
When Master Lei heard Jia Dongming's instructions, how could he not understand Jia Dongming's words? He immediately promised Jia Dongming: "Master! Don't worry! My two apprentices, one is my son and the other is my nephew, will never There will be no problems.”
"In addition, your yard has a small door. When the things arrive, we can transport them directly through the small door to ensure that the people in your yard will not be disturbed."
When Jia Dongming heard Master Lei's promise, he nodded with satisfaction and replied: "Okay! Then this matter will be troublesome to you, Master Lei."
"Uncle! It's time to eat!" Just as Jia Dongming and Master Lei were discussing things, Banggeng ran into the other courtyard from the small door and shouted to Jia Dongming who was chatting with Master Lei.
When Jia Dongming heard Bangge's shouting, he smiled and said to Master Lei: "Master Lei! I'm going to eat first. You guys should also clean up here and go back to rest early."
"Boss! Since you plan to change materials, I don't have to rush the work here. I will pack my things and go back now, and I will come to you tomorrow morning." After hearing what Jia Dongming said, Master Lei thought of Jia Dongming's request and smiled. He said to Jia Dongming.
When Jia Dongming heard what Master Lei said, he put the remaining cigarette in his hand into Master Lei's arms, smiled and said to Master Lei: "Okay! Then I will be in the courtyard tomorrow morning, waiting for your arrival, Master Lei. .”
"Dongming! What does Master Lei have to do with you?" Jia Dongming walked back into the house and sat at the dining table. Jia Zhang, who was waiting for Jia Dongming to come back for dinner, immediately asked Jia Dongming when he saw Jia Dongming coming back.
Jia Dongming heard Jia Zhang's inquiry. In order to prevent Jia Zhang from saying the wrong thing, Jia Dongming smiled and deceived Jia Zhang: "Mom! Master Lei came to me just to talk about repairing the house. It's nothing serious. ”
