Chapter 317: No Shoes
The south room and toilet in the courtyard of my house have been demolished, and whether I renovate this small courtyard according to my own opinion or according to my mother's opinion, the two south rooms and the toilet are not kept. At the beginning of spring, the eldest aunt sent someone to clean it up, and by the way, the previously blocked sewer was cut open and replaced with a new pipe, but the toilet was not retained, and now the remaining Lin family can only be discharged from the hospital and run dozens of meters away to go to the public toilet in the alley if they want to go to the toilet.
I don't know if it's because the soil in the yard has been soaked in those sewage for a few months, Hong Tao and the second master planted the grape seedlings are growing well, as soon as spring arrives, just pick up the cover soil, it can't wait to grow branches, along the few sticks that Hong Tao built for them to start climbing. According to the second master, this grape plant is already a two-year seedling when it is planted, and it will be able to hang fruit in another year or two.
Under the father's Spring Festival offensive, the leader of their unit finally spat out, and the Lin family must be reassigned housing before the eleventh, that is to say, if you hurry up, it will not take next year for this small courtyard to be completely renovated, and then it will really become a separate courtyard, and my father's wish will be completed.
Father's wish has been fulfilled, but Hong Tao can't be idle, he still has his own wish, first of all, the courtyard on the old Gulou Street, which has been chosen by Hong Tao as a place to live in the future, at least one of them. So how to repair it, it really took a lot of thought for Hong Tao. When I got home, I finished dinner. After chatting with his father for a few more days, Hong Tao ran back to his house, lay on the table and began to plan his small courtyard.
First of all, there is the problem of the garage, because there is no extra open space in front of the yard, and there is a road two or three meters away, so if you want to park, you have to open a door to the west wall. Then occupy the front courtyard or the south room to be used as a garage. But in this way, the original antique courtyard has an extra rolling shutter door, which is a bit nondescript.
Then there's the noise problem. Since the courtyard is facing the street, it is just outside the west wall of the old Gulou Street, although this street is not currently the main street, and even the bus only has a 58 passing through here. It's not a lot of noise. But this is only the old Gulou Street in 86. If it was '96, in 2oo6, it wouldn't be like that here.
At that time, there would be many restaurants and bars on both sides of the road, and at night it would be bustling with traffic, although the main house of this small courtyard was still in the alley, but these noises would definitely come in. Hong Tao only came up with a solution to this problem, which was to fasten a glass cover on the top of the yard. This separates the entire yard from the outside world and protects it from wind and sand. It can also prevent noise and keep warm, so you can kill multiple birds with one stone. And it's not too stuffy, just put a few ventilation fans on the glass cover, just like a big greenhouse.
In fact, this is not Hong Tao's Ming, but an example he has seen in his previous life, when in the alley of his house, there was a courtyard house that was made like this, and the year was not very late, probably the years he was in junior high school, so it should be technically feasible. This question has been handed over to the little uncle and the eldest uncle, and they will ask around if there are people and materials who can carry out this kind of project, after all, what glass curtain walls, glass passages and other architectural forms have not yet entered the capital on a large scale in this era, and it is not so easy to find.
Finally, how should the yard be arranged, the courtyard gate of this small courtyard rushes to the north, after entering the courtyard gate, it is the front across the courtyard, the area is not large, only a thin one, it is said to be the front yard, it is better to say that it is the aisle. The real yard is east of the west wing, the whole yard is boxy, about 14o square meters, the original ground is mostly laid with green bricks, but now it is potholes and unsightly, whether it is planting flowers and grass, or paving bricks and stones, this qiē Hongtao has not yet figured it out, and has to wait for the glass cover to be decided, in order to finally determine the appearance of the yard.
As for planting trees, Hong Tao thought that if he could plant a tree in the yard, or transplant a big tree directly, it would be a beautiful thing, especially in summer, with shade and without shade is not a feeling at all. It's a pity that he can only think about it, the tree thing, in another ten years, will be more expensive than people. No one pays attention to you when you plant it, once the tree grows to a certain height and thickness, there will be relevant departments to register, even if the tree has a hukou, you can't cut it if you want to.
This is not the end, if the tree has insects, you have to come to your yard to spray the medicine, spray everywhere; the branches of the tree get in the way, you can't get it yourself, you have to apply to the relevant departments in accordance with the regulations, and wait for the people to work hard, and then come to deal with it; if the tree dies, then you have to investigate, how it died, but if the tree is treated improperly by your family, you have to lose money! The number will not be less, tens of thousands of dollars are pitiful to you, and you have to endure the punishment of hundreds of thousands.
Looking at the sketch he had drawn, Hong Tao suddenly had a thought in his mind, which he remembered after meeting the third child in the gay shop in the afternoon and receiving two jade rough stones from him. This idea is a bit unreliable to say, but Hong Tao wants to try it again, anyway, the big deal is to lose some money, and it is not bankrupt, and it does not hinder his life at all. As for the question of whether he will say that he is a loser after letting the second master know, Hong Tao doesn't care at all, now he is a loser in their eyes, and no matter how defeated he is, he won't be able to get a new name.
What is this idea? It is related to the two pieces of jade rough on the table, Hong Tao originally did not think of collecting these jade things in advance, and then waiting for the appreciation, which is also related to the living environment and habits of his previous life, he did not pay attention to these things at all in his previous life, so he did not think about it for a while. However, today, let the third child remind him like this, Hong Tao realized that in addition to stamps, hardwood furniture, antique calligraphy and paintings, famous cars and watches and houses, he seems to have really ignored the huge appreciation potential of jade.
But it doesn't matter, it should be too late to start now, at present, the whole country is engaged in economic construction, everyone is thinking about how to make money, it seems that there are no people who are full of food and idle to speculate on the jade thing, so in terms of price, it should not be too high, especially this uncarved raw material, which can be seen from the asking price of the third child to sell these two pieces of jadeite rough.
Although a few hundred yuan is also a lot of money for ordinary families, but for Hong Tao at this time, it is all drizzle, and he will not feel distressed if he takes out tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands in one breath, anyway, there are several hens that can lay golden eggs are not stopping, and the money is not more than one in his hand, but if he invests it, as long as the direction is right, he can earn it back sooner or later.
But just by purchasing these jade raw materials, Hong Tao is not very proud, he has a plan behind him, and he will laugh out loud when he thinks about it. He planned to spread all these jade raw materials in his yard as stepping stones, and after another ten or twenty years, he suddenly told the second master: The stones you are stepping on on your left foot can be sold for five million! The one you are stepping on on your right foot is even more valuable, and it can be sold for eight million! Will the old man faint in fright?
Of course, in order to increase the number of jadeite, Hong Tao plans to not only collect jadeite, but also to collect some other if possible. For example, the valuable bloodstone, Tianhuang stone, Hetian jade, Xiuyu, Dushan jade, turquoise and other things in later generations are best to collect raw materials, because raw materials are relatively cheap. If there are cheap finished products, Hong Tao doesn't care about buying them together, but this possibility is not too high, most of the people who have these finished products in their hands are experts, and there are not so many leaks to pick up.
"Hey, hey, hey...... Buddy, let's think about it, get me a plaque on the upper floor of the Ming Gate, my yard is called [No Shoes Zhai], whoever dares to come in with shoes, I will break his legs! If this knocks off a piece of the jade on my ground, we will lose it!" Thinking about the scene where his small courtyard is full of gems in the future, and tens of thousands of yuan can be worn out by walking a few steps every day, Hong Tao lay on the desk, fell asleep with a sigh, and went to see his old fairy!
In the early summer of '86, Hong Tao was very busy, in addition to the fixed work before, Hong Tao now has a few more things to worry about.
First is Heizi, he took his two companions to Shuangyashan a long time ago, and then the old friend of the second master took him to Tongjiang, with the help of the old friend's in-laws, he opened a trading company called Xiushui in the city, and the house used was the local agricultural reclamation corps.
Then through the relationship introduced by Ms. Jiang, he paid a registration fee of 20,000 yuan to the city's only city border trade company with the right to operate foreign trade, and it turned into a Xiushui border trade company, which can communicate with the old Maozi on the other side of the river.
This thing is easy to say, but in fact, if there is no favor in the back and there is not enough money to operate, it is also very difficult. Just for the month they tossed the trading company, Hong Taoguang spent more than 10,000 yuan on the way to the capital to give gifts, which is still with the help of Ms. Jiang and their experts, otherwise you can't find the temple gate with a pig's head, even if it is delivered to the door of someone's house, no one dares to accept it without a particularly reliable acquaintance introduction.
