Chapter 64 The Price of Cement
Zhong Min looked at the construction site in front of him and said, "I also want to know how expensive this cement is!" Yes! Put the cement on the construction site and we'll go back and ask for the price! ”
The two put down the cement and walked back to the cement workshop. The www.biquge.info two of them did not dare to break the order of the queue, and waited in the queue to receive the cement, moving forward little by little, and waited for a quarter of an hour before it was their turn to be at the front.
Boss Liang, who distributed the cement, glanced at Ge Laoer, and when he saw that he was empty-handed, he asked loudly:
"Where's the barrel for cement?"
Ge Lao Er hurriedly explained: "We have already received it, are we here to ask, is this cement for sale?" ”
Several craftsmen who distributed cement glanced at each other and said: "Fanjiazhuang has used a lot in the past six months, and it is not sold, but Fanjiazhuang will be repaired in the future, and it will be taken out!" ”
Ge Lao Er's face was happy, and he said with a smile: "How much does this cement sell for a catty?" ”
Hearing Ge Laoer's inquiry, the masons behind them were all interested, and they all leaned forward to listen to how Liang Lao Da answered. The masons all thought that if the price of the cement was cheaper than the sanhe earth, then they would be able to make some money for the materials by building houses for others.
Boss Liang saw that the masons lining up behind him all hugged him and stared at him, and said loudly: "Line up, don't mess up the line!" ”
But the masons who had come up refused to leave, and said:
"It's not going to be messy! Daddy, you tell us a price, let's go to the queue again! ”
"How much does this cement sell for, Daddy will tell me!"
"Yes, how did the Lord of the Hundred Households sell it?"
The masons saw that Boss Liang was doing things for the hundred households, and called Boss Liang Daddy. Seeing that the masons were so eager to know the answer, Boss Liang glanced at his companions and said helplessly: "Don't worry! The captain said that the price of this cement will not exceed three pennies a catty! ”
Hearing this, the masons who gathered around were all overjoyed, and their faces were full of joy.
Ge Lao Er and Zhong Yong glanced at each other, their eyes full of excitement.
You must know that the cost of Sanhe soil is a penny a catty, but a catty of Sanhe soil can only be used as a catty! The cement is mixed with sand one to five, and one catty can be used as six catties. The price of cement is three times that of tri-soil, which means that the cost of using cement and sand as a binder is only one-half that of tri-soil.
This means that the mason can save half of the adhesive cost by buying cement and repairing the house for others! That's not a small amount of money. For a mason who only earns more than one or two silver a month, he will double his income if he can't say it!
Although cement makes them throw away the most familiar Sanhe soil, it can make them more money!
The rejoicing masons asked in a loud voice:
"When will the hundred households start selling cement?"
"It's not enough!"
"Can you buy it?"
Boss Liang replied helplessly: "You can buy it, you can buy it!" As soon as Fanjiazhuang repairs the cement, it will be sold! Our owner will definitely have enough goods, now everyone goes back to line up! Grab the cement and get to work! ”
Hearing this assurance, the rejoicing masons relented and returned to the line of cement recipients.

On October 15, Hua Zhang, the first platoon of the third company of the first battalion of the Xuanfeng Regiment, got the monthly money.
The monthly money was three taels, and the Li family paid it in full, without any deduction in arrears.

Hua Zhang hurriedly changed his words and said, "Yes, thank you Lord Baihu!" ”

Hua Chang talked to his father for a while, happily hid the silver in the box, and prepared to go back to the barracks. As soon as he went out, he saw Sister-in-law Shen next door.
Sister-in-law Shen looked at Hua Zhang from top to bottom with her eyes, and then said, "Hua Zhang! You've grown strong! ”
Hua Zhang replied honestly: "This month, I have eaten well in the adult's family camp, and I have worked every day, and I have grown stronger!" ”
Hearing this, Sister-in-law Shen stared at Hua Zhang with her head squinted, and said mysteriously: "Hua Zhang, don't lie to me!" I've heard that you're paying out your monthly money! ”

Sister-in-law Shen was silent for a while when she heard Hua Zhang's words. After a long time, he said very jealously: "Hua Zhang, your life is so good, you know to enlist in the family Ding team!" My son was stupid, and he didn't apply when he saw the recruitment notice, saying that he was a lie, and now he can only drink gruel in the Zhuang army! You see, it's really getting money now! ”
Hearing Sister-in-law Shen's words, Hua Zhang touched his head and said, "I listened to Jiang Chong's words before I went to apply." ”
Sister-in-law Shen chirped: "What Jiang Chong, don't mention that decrepit person, that's your fate!" Hua Zhang, you are rich now! Do you want to marry a daughter-in-law? ”
Hua Zhang looked at Sister-in-law Shen and said loudly: "Think, why don't you want to, Sister-in-law Shen, you have a way?" ”

Sister-in-law Shen covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "What kind of girl do you like?" ”
Hua Zhang thought about it, touched his head and said, "I like the big one!" ”
Sister-in-law Shen was stunned and asked, "What's big, big butt or big chest, Huazhang, you make it clear!" ”
Hua Zhang said resolutely: "Big chest!" ”
Sister-in-law Shen nodded and said, "Okay, I know, if you want to have big breasts, I will give you Zhang Luo in the next few days, and I will give you a girl with big breasts when the time comes!" ”
Hua Zhang smiled: "Then it's all thanks to Sister-in-law Shen!" ”
"Remember the silver you said!"
Sister-in-law Shen spat, stopped talking, twisted her ass and left.
