Chapter 114: Just grab the job and do it (Subscribe please)

The person who spoke was a beautiful woman with a very good temperament.

She looked to be about 27 or 28 years old, with short, neat hair and fair skin. You could tell at first glance that she was well-maintained.

There were lunch boxes hung on her car with net ropes.

This person is naturally Fan Xiaofeng, Fan Dajun’s sister.

"Aren't I here to see you and your parents? Are you not welcome?" Fan Dajun couldn't help but act like an elder brother.

"How could that be possible? This is just a house renovation, how could it be such a mess?" Fan Xiaofeng said with a smile.

"I thought the construction hadn't started yet, but it looks like it's almost finished?" Fan Dajun asked with a frown.

Just over ten days ago, Fan Xiaofeng told him that she wanted to do some work on the house, renovate the kitchen, and build a new toilet and bathroom.

As a result, the courtyard wall was built and the cement was applied.

"No, Amin said to finish the yard first. They haven't started on the inside yet." Fan Xiaofeng explained.

When Fan Dajun heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's great. I've found a master craftsman in the village to build you a firewood-saving stove. It uses half the firewood as compared to an ordinary stove." Fan Dajun quickly stated his purpose.

Fan Xiaofeng was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that her elder brother would find a bricklayer to build a stove for her?
"Brother, we already have a master in our family, so you don't have to worry about this matter." Fan Xiaofeng said tactfully.

"Where did this master chef come from? He's exaggerating that the wood-saving stove can save half the firewood."

"I've been working for more than ten years, and this is the first time I've heard of a stove like this. Don't be fooled." A middle-aged man who was painting the wall couldn't help but speak.

When Xu Ye heard this, he was immediately happy.

After working for more than ten years, the walls turn out like this?
You haven't even leveled the floor yet, how can you have the nerve to brag that you've been doing this for more than ten years?

Xu Ye originally thought that it was because they, the apprentices, painted the walls so badly.

As it turned out, he turned out to be a veteran with more than ten years of experience.

Fan Dajun didn't respond and walked straight into the yard.

He felt that since he had already brought the materials, he could help build a firewood-saving stove for free, and it wouldn't be such a good deal that no one would take advantage of it.

Fan Xiaofeng then pushed the bicycle in and parked it in an open space.

There were a lot of materials piled up in the yard, and it looked really messy.

Fan Dajun frowned. There was no room for two donkey carts in the yard.

"You guys move the materials in, we'll finish it quickly and go back." Fan Dajun said as he walked to the door.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

"We have no shortage of bricks at home. These are your team's things. They are collective property. Don't make a mistake." Fan Xiaofeng frowned, thinking that Fan Dajun was being too reckless.

"I will pay for these, so you don't have to worry about it." Fan Dajun didn't want to lose face.

Fan Xiaofeng knew that his elder brother was very proud, so he said helplessly: "Brother, the master we hired will renovate the kitchen and stove, so you don't have to worry about it."

"You haven't eaten yet, I'll go cook for you. Fumin didn't come back today."

"My parents are also eating in the company cafeteria. I packed some food for Xiao Ning."

After hearing this, Fan Dajun frowned and felt very embarrassed.

He walked out and pointed at the wall and said, "The painter you hired is really not good. He can't even paint the wall smoothly. I don't believe he can renovate the kitchen and build a stove properly."

The masters' faces suddenly changed and they turned to look at Fan Dajun.

"Comrade, are you questioning our ability?"

"What do you know? It will be smooth after you brush and scrape it all off."

"If you are an outsider, don't talk nonsense!"

"You guys are from the countryside, what do you know?"

Fan Dajun's face changed and he couldn't help but look at Xu Ye.

He is indeed a layman and doesn't understand these things.

But the cement on this wall looks really uneven.

When Xu Ye saw Fan Dajun looking at him, he knew that he was seeking his opinion.

Originally, Xu Ye didn't want to say anything.

This stove doesn't need to be built at all, so it won't be a wasted trip if you just go buy some materials and go back.

However, he was somewhat annoyed by what the masons said, so he said, "That's not bad, but you said you've been doing this for more than ten years, and your skills are really rough. You can't even achieve basic uniformity."

"Or are you deliberately slacking off in order to earn more money from your employer?"

Xu Ye's words immediately made the leader angry, and he jumped down from the shelf.

"As if you would."

"Come on, come on, try it."

"Don't slander others just because you have a big mouth." As he said this, he handed over his trowel.

"Master Lu, don't be surprised, don't be angry, and don't argue with my brother and my younger brother." Fan Xiaofeng quickly stepped forward to persuade.

It’s hard to find a good master nowadays. They are all very busy and in great demand.

In order to find these masters, her man had to use some favors.

What if I offend someone and he just quits?
The interior decoration of this house hasn't even started yet, how can we give up halfway?
Fan Xiaofeng didn't know Xu Ye. After all, when she got married, Xu Ye hadn't yet gone to Shangxi Village to join the production team.

But since he is from the village, it’s not wrong to say that he is my brother.

In this way, these bricklayers will always give you face.

The bricklayer had no intention of giving Fan Xiaofeng face, and said in a cold voice: "No matter who it is, since you doubt my, Lu Yuan's, then I want to see how capable he is." Xu Ye said nothing and directly took the other party's plastering trowel and putty board.

Then he picked up a bucket of mortar and walked to the wall at the other end.

Xu Ye scooped a spoonful of cement onto the putty board and applied it directly to the wall.

"The proportions of this mortar are not right. There is too much for the base coat and too little for just one coat."

After saying that, Xu Ye pasted another spoonful of cement on the wall.

Seeing Xu Ye's actions, the other party felt a little embarrassed.

Experts will know if there is one as soon as they take action.

Xu Ye's movements were skillful, as smooth as flowing water.

Just use a ash board and scrape it very evenly.

After scraping five large spoonfuls of scrape in a row, Xu Ye picked up the plastering knife and started scraping the wall.

After a few minutes, the area he shaved became extremely smooth.

The comparison between left and right is really obvious.

Fan Xiaofeng widened his eyes, somewhat unable to believe it.

There is no harm without comparison. The wall scraped by Xu Ye is completely different from the other end.

"What do you think? Is it okay for me to say that Xu Ye is a master chef?" Fan Dajun looked at his sister proudly.

To be honest, he didn't expect Xu Ye's craftsmanship to be so great.

Fan Xiaofeng opened his mouth but no words came out.

Just now she felt that Xu Ye looked young, was from the village, and had the temperament of a scholar, so there was no way he could be a plasterer.

"How old are you? You're better at this job than my master."

"Could it be that he has been practicing since he was in his mother's womb?"

"I, Lu Yuan, am convinced!"

There is no way to fake craftsmanship, especially in the eyes of someone who knows the trade.

Although Lu Yuan was unhappy, he could not question Xu Ye's craftsmanship.

As long as you are not blind, you can see that the walls painted by Xu Ye are very flat, and there is no need to use a wooden ruler to level them.

The problem is that this master chef looks too young!
Lu Yuan felt that he had been wasting the past three years. He had just started to work as a master and was being pushed against the wall.

"Boss, we don't mean to slack off, we are just not as skilled as others."

"Since your brother is so capable, let's just finish this job. It will take exactly four days." Lu Yuan said with a cold face.

Although the job was snatched away, he was not worried. After all, bricklayers are in short supply and needed everywhere.

"Isn't this inappropriate?" Fan Xiaofeng frowned.

"What's inappropriate about this? Xu Ye's skills are so great, why don't you hire him?" Fan Dajun gave Xu Ye a look, hoping that Xu Ye could take over his sister's job.

Construction team, construction team, what kind of construction team are they if they can only build stoves that save firewood?
Before, Xu Ye wanted to get some bricks from the team and bring them back to practice with Jiang Youshou and Zhang Fu, so as to get the materials from the team for free.

Wouldn't it be possible to just take over the job and give Jiang Youshou, Zhang Fu and the others some practice?
And you can get paid, isn’t that great?

Instead of letting others earn your sister's money, why not let Xu Ye and others earn it?

"Don't worry, boss. We still have a lot of work to do." Lu Yuan said. He knew that he had no chance to stay, so he might as well be open-minded.

If you want to deal with Xu Ye, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

The other side has more people now, and Lu Yuan doesn't want to suffer any loss.

"Okay then. I'll go get the money for you and pay you some wages." Fan Xiaofeng went straight into the house.

After seeing Xu Ye's craftsmanship, she no longer looked down on Lu Yuan and the others' craftsmanship.

Since Lu Yuan had brought it up himself, she naturally wouldn't try to persuade him to stay.

When Fan Dajun saw his sister enter the room, he quickly pulled Xu Ye aside and whispered, "Xu Ye, we must take on this job."

"With this job, can't your father-in-law and his family practice?"

"Besides, Xiaofeng is my sister, I don't trust others to do the work."

"You don't need to hand over your income this time. Just buy work points normally. After all, the construction team has not been officially established yet."

Xu Ye felt that this was indeed a free learning opportunity, and he could also earn some money.

The current wage for a bricklayer is two dollars a day, and for a laborer it is one dollar.

Even if they are all considered laborers, it is still better than digging the soil in the village.

Even if he takes two or three days off a month, a cement worker can still earn forty or fifty yuan.

This is why Fan Dajun and Yang Zongming were so excited when they knew Xu Ye was capable of cement work, and they immediately thought of setting up a construction team as a side business.

Because it really makes money!

Like other brigades, the brigade can earn a lot of money every month by handing over 80% of its revenue.

"Okay, I agree." Xu Ye felt that this was indeed a good opportunity that would allow his fathers-in-law to learn more as quickly as possible and also give them a chance to practice.

Hearing Xu Ye's agreement, Fan Dajun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Originally, he planned to build a firewood-saving stove first, and then let his brother-in-law hand over the work of renovating the house to Xu Ye after Xu Ye's craftsmanship was recognized.

I didn't expect that after I simply showed off my skills, Xu Ye snatched the job away.

As long as this job is done well, the Sanxi Construction Team’s brand will be officially established.

Isn't money coming in continuously?
