The entire building adopts a reinforced concrete structure. The load-bearing and frame structure is first built with reinforced concrete. The capping of each floor adopts a large formwork cast-in-place structure. The construction is carried out using sliding form lifting technology, and then the construction workers build it. Bricks, laying walls, leveling, tiling. After staying at the construction site for a week, Lu Shanmin gave full play to his hunter's instinct. After careful observation, he finally understood how the skyscrapers in the city rose from the ground. I can't help but admire how smart the city people are.
Lu Shanmin’s work efficiency has been unanimously recognized by Chen Dali and his team. In Chen Dali’s words, Lu Shanmin can do more than two or three handymen by himself.
Chen Dali has a son who is about the same age as Lu Shanmin. His son is not good at school. He dropped out of school after junior high school and has been wandering around his hometown. Seeing his son grow up day by day, Chen Dali has mixed feelings. Last year I called my son from my hometown to Donghai. I wanted to pass on my skills to him and give him a craft to make a living. Who knew that my son had stayed at the construction site for less than a month and he couldn't bear the hardship at all. Staying in the rented house without going out, Chen Dali couldn't do anything to him, and he was afraid that he would go astray by being idle for a long time, so he sent him to a vocational and technical school in desperation, not expecting him to learn anything, just hoping that he would learn anything. There was a place to tie him up and get out to cause trouble.
After getting in touch during this period, Chen Dali saw that Lu Shanmin liked him more and more compared to his unsatisfactory son, so he discussed with several masters in his partnership to convert the original two hundred a day Lu Shanmin's salary was raised to three hundred, and the other masters had no objection. After all, Lu Shanmin alone could do the work of two or three people, and it was obvious to everyone. Hearing the news, Lu Shanmin was very happy. Three hundred a day is nine thousand a month. Including the salary from the barbecue restaurant, it is eleven thousand six hundred a month. Such a high salary was unthinkable before. . Although it is still not enough to repay Chen Ran's money in time, it is finally one step closer. Zhang Li, Chen Kun, and Huang Mei all have jobs now. The three of them have been working hard during this period. Maybe they can collect 50,000 yuan by then. Even if it is not enough, it will not be much different. They will find a way then. It's also easier.
In the past two days, Lu Shanmin noticed that Luo Zhixuan had a sad face, as if he had encountered something troublesome. For this uncle, it may be that his dedication to his son reminded Lu Shanmin of his father who died when he was born, and Lu Shanmin had a good impression of him. During the lunch break, Lu Shanmin deliberately walked to the end.
"Uncle Luo, I see you have not been in a good mood these past two days. Have you encountered any difficulties?"
Luo Zhixuan smiled bitterly, "My son is thirty-two this year. I'm over 20 years old and haven't gotten married yet. I've had several conversations during this period, but nothing has come of it. The reason is that I don't have a house. In the past two years, my son has been trying to buy a house in the city where he works. But with our family's situation, it's difficult. Yesterday, my son called and said that he had spotted a house and there were a lot of people snatching it." He shook his head and said, "I don't know where there are so many rich people. Buying a house is like buying cabbage. My sonI finally got a number, and I have to pay and sign the contract in two days, but now I am still short of 60,000 to 70,000 yuan. I am really a hero who is dying for a penny."
Lu Shanmin was a little puzzled. He asked, "Uncle Luo, you also have a salary of two hundred yuan a day, and sixty or seventy thousand a year. I heard that the housing prices in Sichuan are not as expensive as those in Donghai. You have worked in Donghai for decades, how can you continue to work in Donghai?" I can’t even afford the down payment."
Luo Zhixuan shook his head, "Mountain people, you have just joined this industry. You don’t know many things yet. Our industry is different from those white-collar workers in office buildings. What we do is You only get one day's wages for one day's work. Do you think you have work to do every day, 365 days a year? It's good if you can work for seven or eight months a year. And we don't have medical insurance, so we can't claim medical expenses. , in this place, if you get a serious illness, your salary for a year will be wiped out. This construction site is full of manual work, and anyone who works for a long time will have some problems." He pointed to his waist. "My waist was accidentally broken a few years ago. Now every time it's windy or rainy, it hurts so much that I don't dare to go to the hospital. Besides, prices in Donghai are not cheap. How much money can I have left after a year?"
As he spoke, he continued, "Do you think I have been earning two hundred and one day's salary all these years? This is the only salary I have received in the past two years. In the past few years, I have received twenty and thirty-one days' salary." I have to tighten my belt to pay for my son’s salary when he goes to college. How much money does the family have left?” Good idea.
"Uncle Luo, sixty or seventy thousand is not too much. You can find a way to borrow some from relatives and friends."
Luo Zhixuan shook his head, "I'm just a piece of cake." Farmers and relatives are almost the same as me. How much money can be borrowed? What's more, don't talk about money these days. Talking about money hurts feelings."
Looking at Luo Zhixuan's desolate back, Lu Shanmin felt in his heart I feel a bit heavy. Before leaving the mountains, I lived in a mud house at home and with a hunting knife in my hand. I never thought about spending tens or hundreds of millions to buy a house or a car. Life in the mountains is boring, but it is also boring. There will be no special worries. When I came to Donghai, everything changed. Money made Lin Dahai bend down; money made Luo Zhixuan grow gray; money made the four people in the rental house forget themselves from dawn to dusk. Lu Shanmin, who was swearing, couldn't help but cursed money. It's not a damn thing.
As usual, he and Chen Dali walked to the pushcart selling lunch boxes and were about to get some. With ten yuan for meat and vegetables, he unexpectedly saw Ruan Yu waving to him.
"Brother Shanmin"
Several people working together asked Lu Shanmin with a smile. , you are very lucky, your partner is really good-looking."
Lu Shanmin touched his head embarrassedly, explained to everyone that he was not his partner, but just an ordinary friend he met, and then he went straight Walking towards Ruan Yu
Ruan Yu held the thermos bucket that he had brought to him in the hospital last time. He opened the lunch box and smiled at Lu Shanmin.He said, "Brother Shanmin, those meals are not clean. I specially found a restaurant to make Kung Pao chicken, braised beef, and sweet and sour pork loin for you."
I don’t know why, every time a rich girl like Zeng Yaqian helps him, Lu Shanmin will not only not be happy, but also very angry. But when Ruan Yu, a poor student, helps him, Lu Shanmin will not feel awkward at all, but instead Will gladly accept it.
Lu Shanmin took the lunch box with a smile, "Aren't you going to school today?"
"You are as confused as bricks. It's Sunday, what school are you going to?"
Looking at the meat in the lunch box, Lu Shanmin's mouth watered. He didn't care about pretending to be a gentleman in front of a beautiful woman and feasting on it.
Seeing the Lushan people devouring their food, Ruan Yu smiled with satisfaction.
"Ruan Yu, don't waste your money in the future. It's not easy for you to make some money."
"Don't worry, Mountain Man Brother, I'm not short of money. During this period, a stupid rich young man threw money as toilet paper, and I made a lot of money."
Lu Shanmin looked at Ruan Yu with his mouth wide open. He knew that the stupid rich man was Haidong Lai.
Subconsciously asked, "What do you think of him?"
Ruan Yu tilted her head and thought for a long time, "It's great to be stupid and have a lot of money."
Lu Shanmin grinned stupidly, wondering how Haidong Lai would feel when he heard this comment.
After eating, Lu Shanmin handed the thermos bucket to Ruan Yu. Lu Shanmin looked at Ruan Yu hesitantly.
Ruan Yu looked at Lu Shanmin with a smile, with a hint of shyness on his face, "Brother Shanmin, do you have anything to say to me?"
Lu Shanmin coughed For a moment, "Ruan Yu, if you make enough money, don't go to the bar to work and go back to school."
Ruan Yu smiled sweetly, "Well, Brother Shanmin, I understand."
At the midnight barbecue restaurant, the well-dressed middle-aged man came again. Lu Shanmin smiled and greeted, "Boss, five skewers of beef, okay?"
The man chuckled and said, Start standing next to the grill.
"Little brother, tea has a tea ceremony, flowers have an ikebana, and everything in the world has a way to achieve perfection. Even just watching you barbecue is an artistic enjoyment."
“The boss speaks very literately, but I am a mountain villager. I heard my grandpa mention it before that a man named Lu Yu wrote a book of tea in the Tang Dynasty, which mentioned the tea ceremony, but the flower arrangement was not. Never heard of it”.
A trace of surprise flashed across the middle-aged man's face, "You also know the Classic of Tea, then your grandfather must be a learned man."
Lu Shanmin smiled and shook his head, and said with a smile, "Grandpa is just an ordinary old man in the mountains, but what is ikebana?"
The middle-aged man laughed, "Ikebana is a kind of The traditional Japanese flower arrangement art originated from our country of China. It evolved after the flowers offered in Buddhist halls were introduced to Japan during the Sui and Tang Dynasties.Come on, in fact, any craft, as long as it is done to the extreme, can be called Tao."
Lu Shanmin had a good impression of this knowledgeable middle-aged man and said with a smile, "Then if the barbecue is done Extremely, can we call it Barbeque Road?"
The middle-aged man smiled and nodded, "Yes, it is called Barbeque Road."
On the second floor opposite the Midnight Barbeque Shop, Li Hao held the binoculars and carefully observed every move of the middle-aged man in the barbecue restaurant without blinking. Seeing that the middle-aged man and Lu Shanmin were talking and laughing, and they were quite friendly, he felt a little worried in his heart. Unlike Wang Chao, Wang Chao relied on Wang Dahu's protection to get into the position of security manager of a blue-chip bar. The reason why he has achieved what he has today is due to his experience of countless setbacks, hardships and infighting. I don’t believe that Hu Weiyong would go to the barbecue restaurant to chat with Lu Shanmin again and again for no reason. What is his purpose, what does he want from Lu Shanmin, or what does he need Lu Shanmin to do for him?
The entire building is made of reinforced concrete. For earth structures, reinforced concrete is first used to build load-bearing and frame structures. The capping of each floor adopts a large formwork cast-in-place structure, and the sliding form lifting technology is used for construction. Then the construction workers lay bricks, lay walls, level and lay ceramic tiles. After staying at the construction site for a week, Lu Shanmin gave full play to his hunter's instinct. After careful observation, he finally understood how the skyscrapers in the city were rising.
Lu Shanmin's work efficiency has been unanimously recognized by Chen Dali and his team. In Chen Dali's words, Lu Shanmin can do more than two or three handymen.
Chen Dali has one who is about the same age as Lu Shanmin. His son was not good at studying. He dropped out of school after junior high school and has been wandering around in his hometown. Seeing his son grow up day by day, Chen Dali had mixed feelings. Last year, he called his son from his hometown to the East China Sea. He wanted to marry his son to the East China Sea. The skill was passed on to him, and it also gave him a craft to make a living. Little did he know that his son had stayed at the construction site for less than a month, and he couldn't bear the hardship at all. He simply stayed in the rental house and did not go out. Chen Dali had nothing to do with him, and Afraid that his idleness would lead to him going astray, he had no choice but to send him to a vocational and technical school. He didn't expect him to learn any skills. He just hoped that there would be a place where he could be tied up and go out to cause trouble.
After getting in touch with each other during this period, Chen Dali saw that Lu Shanmin liked him more and more compared to his unsatisfactory son, so he discussed with several masters in his partnership to give up his original salary of two hundred a day to The other masters had no objection to the increase to Lu Shanmin to three hundred. After all, Lu Shanmin alone could do the work of two or three people. It was obvious to everyone that Lu Shanmin was very happy when he heard the news. Three hundred a day, nine a month. Thousands, plus the salary from the barbecue restaurant, it is 11,600 yuan a month. Such a high salary was unthinkable before. Although it is still not enough to pay Chen Ran back in time, it is finally closer. One step. Zhang Li, Chen Kun, and Huang Mei all have jobs now, and they are also working hard during this time.With my hard work, maybe I can collect 50,000 yuan by then. Even if it is not enough, it will not be much different, and it will be easier to find a way then.
In the past two days, Lu Shanmin noticed that Luo Zhixuan had a sad face, as if he had encountered something troublesome.

Quick money is really a heroic man who can't wait for a penny to die."
Lu Shanmin asked with some confusion, "Uncle Luo, you also have a salary of two hundred yuan a day, and sixty or seventy thousand a year. I heard that the housing prices in Sichuan are not as expensive as those in Donghai. You I have worked in Donghai for decades, how can I not even be able to pay the down payment?"
Luo Zhixuan shook his head, "Mountain people, you have just entered this industry, and you still don’t know many things.

In the past few years, I have received twenty and thirty-one days' salary." I have to tighten my belt to pay for my son’s salary to go to college, so how much money does the family have left?”
Lu Shanmin himself is a person who is driven into desperation by money, and there is no good way to face this situation.
"Uncle Luo, sixty or seventy thousand is not too much. You can find a way to borrow some from relatives and friends."
Luo Zhixuan shook his head, "I am a local farmer, and my relatives are almost the same as me. How much money can I borrow? What's more, don't talk about money these days. Talking about money hurts feelings."
Looking at Luo Zhixuan’s bleak back, Lu Shanmin felt a little heavy in his heart. Before leaving the mountain, he had a mud house at home and a hunting knife in his hand, which was his entire life. He never thought that he would spend tens of dollars on it. Millions wantWhat kind of house or car should I buy? Life in the mountains is dull, but there are no special worries. When they came to Donghai, everything changed. Money made Lin Dahai bend his waist; money made Luo Zhixuan grow gray; money made the four people in the rental house forget themselves from dawn to dusk. Lu Shanmin, who never utters bad words, couldn't help but curse Qian, saying he's not a fucking thing.
As usual, Chen Dali and his friends walked to the pushcarts selling boxed lunches, and were about to order a meat and vegetable dish for ten yuan when they unexpectedly saw Ruan Yu waving to them.
"Mountain Brother".
The people working together smiled and asked Lu Shanmin, "Mountain people, you are very lucky. Your partner is really good-looking."
Lu Shanmin rubbed his head embarrassedly, explained to everyone that he was not his partner, but just an ordinary friend he met, and then walked straight towards Ruan Yu.
Ruan Yu was holding the thermos bucket that she had brought to herself in the hospital last time.

The well-dressed middle-aged man at the midnight barbecue restaurantHere we are again, Lu Shanmin said hello with a smile, "Boss, five skewers of beef, okay?"
The man chuckled and stood next to the barbecue grill with his hands behind his back.
"Little brother, tea has a tea ceremony, flowers have an ikebana, and everything in the world has a way to achieve perfection. Even just watching you barbecue is an artistic enjoyment."
