Chapter 108 Zhu Xuefeng borrowed food
Zhu Xuefeng asked Uncle Zou’s house to be sealed and the roof repaired, and tap water was introduced. He also took more than a dozen drawings, and wanted to build new furniture and renovate the cellar. He probably won't be able to get down for more than ten days.
"Uncle Xue, let me tell you about this drawing."
Zhu Xuefeng's furniture drawings are not complicated, they are common in later generations, and the use of space is more clever. This is the same as today The difference is that the appearance is relatively novel, which can be described as simple but not simple.
But it’s different in the eyes of Uncle Xue. These are all treasures. They completely subvert the current form of utilization and are very reasonable.
There is too much work and not enough carpenters, so additional small jobs have to be added. Uncle Xue said that he would find a few more men to complete the project as soon as possible.
“Brother, let’s not say how much it will cost for such a big project. I guess you have already calculated it, but this food is enough for these dozen people to eat for a month, even at noon. One meal would cost about two hundred kilograms. "
This is also a problem. I didn't expect that the project would be big and there would be food, but the rice couldn't be consumed like this with so many eyes watching.
Zhu Xuefeng also has a headache. How can you get so much food in one go these days? It doesn’t matter whether you have a ticket or not. If you have a ticket, others will be suspicious of you.
I still think about things simply. The key is the way of thinking. I always unconsciously use the thinking of future generations to arrange things today, and I always make mistakes.
I have tried very hard to deal with things with the thinking of this era, but some habits cannot be completely changed in a short time. For example, the matter of asking Secretary Chen to transform the house will be understood by future generations, but this time it was still sloppy.
It is too much to ask the craftsmen to bring their own food. It is not a matter of business rules, which can be discussed, nor is it a matter of paying more money. The reason why the craftsmen come out is to save food for their families.
Seeing Zhu Xuefeng in a dilemma, Silly Zhu was happy. How about a smart person? He was not just as troubled by food, so he pulled Zhu Xuefeng into the north room.
“Silly brother,” Silly Zhu was obviously a little proud.
"There is no way to solve the food problem. It depends on how anxious you are."
Zhu Xuefeng looked at Silly Zhu blankly, does he have a way?
“With regard to the food problem, firstly, there is really no food, and secondly, if you can get food, you can only pretend that there is no food. For a smart person like you, since you are renovating the house, you must have been prepared. I guess the second Damn it!”
Whoever dares to call Silly Zhu stupid again, Zhu Xuefeng will be the first to jump up and slap him in the mouth.
Looking at Zhu Xuefeng's face and expression, Shazhu knew that he had guessed correctly and was even more proud.
“There are ways to pretend there is no food. One is to reduce the number of people and prolong the time. The food will come out slower and it will not be so noticeable.”
"I guess you won't be happy with this method. You don't have so much time."
Si Zhu knew that Zhu Xuefeng was either going to school or working, so it was impossible for him to keep an eye on the house.
This was something that came from the bottom of his heart. Zhu Xuefeng gave a thumbs up in his heart.
"The other one is to disperse the people. It still looks like there are not many people, so..."
Zhu Xuefeng patted his thigh and stood up.
"Brother Zhuzi, I thought of it, you mean outside Dongzhimen...".
“Yes, that’s it!”
Zhu Xuefeng punched Shazhu hard on the left shoulder, “Brother Zhuzhu, thank you, let’s have a drink when we’re done.”
Silly Zhu turned around, grinned, and rubbed his shoulders. Why is this kid so energetic? This is not light. It hurts me so much. But I have to pretend to be nonchalant. He has been running rampant in the courtyard for many years. , Can't lose this face.
Zhu Xuefeng quickly invited Uncle Xue in to discuss it together. The three of them were busy for a while,
Then I saw Zhu Xuefeng borrowing food from door to door. He was extremely shameless and repeatedly promised to pay it back next month.
This time I walked in empty-handed and went directly to the third uncle’s house. The third uncle’s family does not have much income but has a large population. Judging from the third uncle’s usual energy, he must have stored some food. I will look for him first. His family hopes to have a good start.
"Third uncle, what are you busy with? Are you going to go out and get a few shots?"
"Hey, Zhu Xuefeng is here. This is your uncle's hobby. If you can't catch it, you can cultivate your sentiments. Catch it and add some vegetables. "
The third uncle just put away his pole and saw Zhu Xuefeng with a smile on his face. This guy should be in trouble now. "What's wrong with you?"
"It's really hard to talk about this matter. I have no choice but to say, if something happens to me, I'll ask Third Uncle for help. "
It is rare for Zhu Xuefeng to come to ask for help. This matter is completely fishy. The third uncle showed interest and did not deal with it.
"Come on, let's go in and ask, what can trouble you?"
The two of them sat down at the dining table. The third uncle was smiling broadly, and the third aunt was about to pour water. Zhu Xuefeng He stood up and refused.
"Third uncle, let me get straight to the point. It's like this..."
I briefly talked about the renovation, but there are still difficulties.
“Isn’t this why I’m here to ask for help? Firstly, I want to borrow some coarse grains, which I can only pay back next month. Secondly, I want to ask the third aunt to help me make lunch... "
"These ten craftsmen must be disciplined, this is also the rule of this industry..."
The third uncle's smile was a little stiff, and he was very nervous now. , I have indeed saved some at home. This is for precaution. In these days and months, the more I don’t have enough to eat, the more I need to save some for precaution, for fear that it will be more difficult later.
Finally, the third uncle gritted his teeth and borrowed ten kilograms for the sake of asking the third aunt to cook. It should not be a big problem. Zhu Xuefeng will pay it back next month. Besides, the third aunt will help cook lunch and take care of it every day. The food is paid back to the workers, and the food is saved. There is no one at home at noon, which is quite suitable.
I thanked the third uncle and the third aunt, and walked out of the third uncle’s house carrying ten kilograms of sticks while the Yan family’s children were dumbfounded.
“Master, why are you so generous this time? You borrowed ten pounds at once!”
“You, you still don’t understand, this Zhu Xuefeng is a man of temperament, you Be good to him, and he will think of ways to repay you. Do you still remember why you gave us products last time?"
The third aunt said thoughtfully and hesitantly.
"You said a few words to him secretly last time?"
The third uncle squinted his eyes and looked at no one outside.
"He will definitely return the food. I believe him. In the future, if you want to pick some vegetables or ask for two eggs or something, it will be easier to ask."
With the good start of the third uncle, In addition, several people in the third workshop borrowed it, and almost every family borrowed about seven or eight kilograms. After borrowing from more than ten families, they actually collected eighty-five kilograms of coarse grains. This debt was a bit big.
Nowadays, every household is short of food. Although it is only coarse grains, it would be a huge favor to be able to give you seven or eight kilograms.
This is much more efficient than Qin Huairu's request for help. The key is that people believe that Zhu Xuefeng will return the money on time. As for giving it to the Jia family, it means sending relief, which is completely different.
It should make sense, don't cause trouble to others anymore, Zhu Xuefeng didn't want to borrow it anymore, and asked Aunt Niu to help at noon, so the arrangements were completed.
"Auntie, what are you..."
Zhu Xuefeng was a little dumbfounded. This aunt personally carried a small bag and sent ten kilograms of cornmeal. The uncle has made a big investment.
Zhu Xuefeng quickly stepped forward to help unload it, which was really surprising.
"Zhu Xuefeng, your uncle heard that you were renovating a house and was short of food, so he asked me to deliver it. Your uncle must be shy, so I didn't let him run away. Don't be surprised."
"Look what you said, It's too late to thank you. Firstly, you two always help everyone and don't want to cause any trouble to you. No one is rich in food.
Secondly, I think we can survive for a while, so I don't have the nerve to ask you. "Open your mouth, you saw that you came to the door in person, which makes us juniors feel ashamed."
The two chatted politely for a while, and Zhu Xuefeng personally sent the eldest mother to the yard...
Now there is no problem, and the food problem is justified.
Thank you to those who spend every day
