Chapter 57 Commencement
Since he decided to build a house, Chen Deshan quickly took action, told the news to several other people that night, and early the next morning, he went separately to buy materials.
In the afternoon, the materials began to drive into the village, and a cart of bricks, logs, and river sand were pulled in by mule carts and piled up on the threshing field at the head of the village, almost filling the entire threshing field, attracting half of the village to gather around the side to watch the excitement, openly and secretly calculating how much money Chen Deshan had earned.
But even if he is a red-eyed person, he doesn't dare to play any tricks like reporting, otherwise the entire Shangjia brigade will teach him how to behave, no matter how the outside society changes, the village still retains the rules that have lasted for hundreds of years, and eating things inside and outside has never ended well.
The most people who have thoughts are thinking about how to ask Chen Deshan, get a temporary worker to make a little money, or whether they can also pull a construction team.
Chen Deshan's construction team counts himself as a total of eight people, and this number is also set by Chen Dahe, as for why, no matter how you ask him, Chen Deshan can only listen to him, even if he is busy with business later, or other people intercede, he has not added any more people.
In fact, the origin of these eight people is only that the old theorist Grandpa Ma gave a random example in his monograph, that in order to make his life only twice as good as that of an ordinary worker, and to convert half of the surplus value produced into capital, the private entrepreneur must increase the minimum amount of advance capital and the number of workers by eight times. This sentence has become the criterion for dogmatists to classify whether an employer is a private entrepreneur, and if there are less than eight people, they are self-employed, and if they have more than eight people, they are entrepreneurs, and they are considered to have committed exploitative behavior.
As for the bread here, it does not include the employer himself, and it has been quarreling for several years, and it will not stop until the central government has issued a special document in 87.
In his previous life, as a pure post-80s generation, Chen Dahe was also very unfamiliar with these books, but he happened to watch a certain TV program, and when he interviewed Boss Liu of New Hope Group, he listened to what the earliest private entrepreneur in New China said, but this Boss Liu walked with the red line and directly hired eight people, and the business wheel turned around, so that there was the later New Hope Group. At that time, Chen Dahe still thought it was interesting, so he kept it in his heart, but he didn't expect to use it in this life.
This kind of thing seems a little incredible to people in later generations, but in this era, everything is to cross the river by feeling the stones, and that's how it comes, so even if Chen Deshan's construction team is originally operating without a license, he resolutely does not cross this red line, and it is a big deal to make less money.
So apart from the old master in the town and the carpenters in the neighboring villages, there were six houses to be built, and the materials were piled up in six piles, and they had to wait until they knocked down the old houses before they could transport them back.
The front is going well, but the back is still in trouble.
"Dahe," Chen Deshan hurriedly returned home, found Chen Dahe and said, "The wood and bricks have been bought, but this cement can't be bought." ”
"Can't buy cement?" Chen Dahe also frowned.
At this time, there have been a lot of self-employed people who work alone, including private kilns that burn bricks, and small timber factories that cut wood privately, but these are the same as Chen Deshan, which belong to unlicensed operations, and they work alone or pull a few relatives and friends to make a small fuss.
However, this cement is different from bricks and wood, it is an industrial product, not only technology, but also industrial equipment, so it is not so easy to build.
"It's really not good, just use soil cement," Chen Dahe said helplessly, he can't help this kind of thing, even if he asks the secretary to come forward, it may not work, regular cement is definitely a straining material, but it is not so easy to get.
Compared with regular cement, soil cement is much simpler, many places have soil cement plants, that is, limestone, clay grinding into noodles, and then calcining mature material, with clinker and the remaining slag after ironmaking with grinding, the powder made is soil cement.
Usually, Chen Deshan's construction team buys this kind of soil cement, which is not shoddy, but the market. Nowadays, sometimes collective projects may not be able to get enough cement, most of the time they will take soil cement to make up the number, although the quality and shelf life are poor, but basically can be used, as long as it is not an important project, the quality is also guaranteed.
Originally, Chen Dahe wanted to use regular cement to build a house, which would be stronger, so he asked Chen Deshan to try his luck at the supply and marketing cooperative.
When it comes to soil cement, Chen Dahe couldn't help but secretly spit out a groove in his heart, why did he choose liberal arts in his last life, so that he doesn't understand anything now, otherwise the entire cement factory, soap factory or something, will definitely earn, at least much better than the construction team.
"Soil and cement are not enough," Chen Deshan said with a sad face, "There is a batch of limestone, but you can't use lime to build walls." ”
"Lime," Chen Dahe muttered, "it seems that lime can also be used." ”
Chen Deshan threw it over with a roll of his eyes, "You are stupid, it's strange to use lime to build a wall without falling." ”
"Lime alone will not work, it seems that something else has to be mixed in. Chen Dahe patted his ass and walked out, "The soil and cement bought for them to build first, I'll ask the old principal to see how to process the lime,"
"Strange, why can't I remember," Chen Dahe muttered in a voice that others couldn't hear as he walked, "It seems to be said in the documentary of CCTV, whether it is mixed with glutinous rice, or river sand, or mixed together, it's so complicated." ”
Since his son said to go to the old principal, Chen Deshan immediately shut up, got up and went to buy soil cement, as for the limestone, he decided to wrap it all up, the ghost knows how much lime the old principal's method needs, anyway, it's right to prepare more, and if you can't use it up, you will use it later.
As for building other people's houses first, he didn't have any opinion, it was originally planned to be so, and it wasn't a disruption of the plan.
On the other side of the river, there is an earthen cement factory in Mengwan Commune, and thanks to the blessing of Chen Dahe's fame, Chen Deshan quickly bought the earthy cement back, along with several truckloads of limestone.
When the materials were ready, they started work immediately, but this time it was not Chen Deshan and the eight of them who worked alone, but the whole village went out together.
Although Chen Deshan can't hire more people, he can ask the people in the same village to do a favor and have a meal, so he simply called the whole village together, counting women and children, everyone who is willing to come over to help is in charge of the meal, and it is full of wine and meat, women can also cook, and even help with mortar, but what can children do, it is good not to add to the chaos, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is Chen Deshan is giving welfare, so after a few days, he has gained a group of people's hearts.
