Chapter 13 Breaking Ground

In the evening, Hu Hai hired a wheelbarrow to push a cart of firecrackers back to his home, and said to Ding Qian: "Shopkeeper Ding, I bought all the firecrackers and clothes." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Ding Qian nodded and said, "Okay, you give the clothes to Niu Wu and them, and tell them that the twelve people must be dressed to their posts tomorrow." ”

Hu Hai looked at the clothes in his hand and smiled: "Hehe, if you don't tell them, they will wear them too, these guys probably haven't worn such good clothes since they were young." Then he said: "Shopkeeper Ding, this costume is divided into two colors, black and gray, let them wear that color to work tomorrow." ”

Ding Qian thought for a while and said, "Just wear black!" Black represents water in the five elements, which is in response to the trend of the dragon to get water. ”

Hu Hai laughed and said: "Haha, I said why don't you invite a fortune teller, it turns out that you yourself are a master in this area." ”

Ding Qian said humbly: "I'm not a master, but I just have a little study of "Zhou Yi". ”

Hu Haidao: "It seems that I, Hu Hai, really have to follow the right person, and I will definitely be able to develop in the future." ”

Ding Qian smiled and said: "Uncle, you remember, no matter what you do, the power of one person is insignificant, and only when everyone sincerely cooperates can we make things bigger, which is called a win-win situation." ”

Hu Haidao: "I'm a vulgar person, I don't know what a win-win situation is, but I also know the truth of following the dog to eat and follow the wolf to eat meat, and I will follow you in the future." ”

Ding Qian smiled and didn't say anything more.

Hu Hai carried those clothes and came to a small shed where Niu Wu, Yang Mazi and other twelve people lived, originally according to Hu Hai's meaning, it was to let these twelve people live with those hired workers, but Ding Qian said that as a manager, there must be special care, so that a kind of majesty can naturally be formed among the hired workers, so these twelve people lived in this small shed.

Niu Wu, Yang Mazi and others were sitting on the Chase shop in the shed chatting, seeing Hu Hai walking in with two big burdens, they hurriedly stepped forward to take them and put them on the bunk, Niu Wu asked: "Hu Lizheng, what is in the baggage." ”

Hu Haidao: "What is it, this is the clothes that Shopkeeper Ding tailored for you a few days ago, everyone quickly take them out and put them on to see if they fit." ”

Everyone hurriedly opened the baggage, and there was a strip of cloth with everyone's name written on the clothes inside, so the twelve people took the clothes with their names written on them and tried them on, and after putting on the new clothes, everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and they didn't know where to put their happy hands and feet.

This costume was designed by Ding Qian according to the military uniform of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty, but the soldier's military uniform is purple, and these clothes are black, and the military uniform is tight cuffs, with shoulder pads and leaf leaves, while this costume is wide sleeves and no shoulder pad leaves, but wearing it on the body also makes people energetic and refreshed.

Niu Wu, Yang Mazi and others all grew up in poor families, when did they wear such good clothes, one by one suddenly at a loss, overjoyed, some people ran out to fetch a basin of water, looking at the basin reflected in their new clothes, happy that they don't know what to say.

Hu Hai lost no time in carrying out ideological education work for them: "Brothers, in the past, you were all fools, all day long mixed people did not look like people, ghosts did not look like ghosts, really grandma did not love uncle, father and mother kicked with feet, now it is good, just like Allah like Zhuge Liang met Liu Bei, everyone must do a good job, first, to be worthy of the grace of the people's treasurer, and second, to fight for yourself." ”

Everyone nodded in unison.

Hu Hai glanced at everyone and said seriously: "And everyone must remember such a sentence, following the phoenix is a handsome bird, and now you all have to look up to the shopkeeper of the other side, and become a manager, you must fight for face in the book." Everyone do a good job, you don't need your food expenses to manage the food here, save up the money you earn, don't spend it indiscriminately, and when the project here is over, I hope everyone can save a dozen taels of silver, and everyone can marry a good daughter-in-law at that time. Did you hear you all? ”

Those people said in unison: "Hear me! ”

Hu Hai stood up and said: "Okay, you all rest, tomorrow we will break ground on this project, Shopkeeper Ding asked me to tell everyone, tomorrow you will put on that set of black clothes, everyone has a good scenery." I'm going to rest, too. ”

Hu Hai returned home and said to Hu Ge: "Girl, hurry up and make a pot of tea for my father, I really feel a little tired and panicked after a busy day." ”

Hu Ge hurriedly brought the tea to Hu Hai and said, "Dad, I have already made tea for you, you drink it first, and I will boil some hot water for you to soak your feet and relieve your fatigue." ”

Hu Hai waved his hand and said, "The girl is not busy, sit down and talk to her father." ”

Hu Ge sat down and said, "Dad, what do you have to say?" ”

Hu Hai picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea and said, "Tut, I'm satisfied." ”

Hu Ge smiled and said, "Dad, what inexplicable words did you say, what did you take?" ”

Hu Hai put down the teacup and patted his thigh and said, "I mean, I took Ding Qian!" You see, people do that thing with a buckle, it's really methodical and leaky. Then he told Hu Ge some things about today.

Hu Ge said: "Dad, Ding Qian is a person who has been in business for a long time, and of course he is handy in doing these things." ”

Hu Hai shook his head like a rattle and said, "No, girl." Your father and I have lived for such a long time, and businessmen have seen a lot, and those people are either open-minded when they see money, or they forget their righteousness when they see profit, and they are like Ding Qian, alas, "I am convinced, so I will recognize Ding Qian as my son-in-law if I am killed." ”

Hu Ge listened to the sweetness in his heart as if he had drunk honey, but he said: "Dad, you are here again, I see that you are also hot from shaving your head." ”

Hu Hai pretended to be deep and said: "Hehe, what do you know, girl, just wait and see, I will definitely make Ding Qian your husband." ”

Hu Ge blushed and said, "Dad, don't talk about it, you're ashamed." ”

Hu Hai grinned and said, "Okay, don't talk about it, the girl hurry up and boil the water, Dad is good at soaking her feet." ”

The morning sun shines on the earth, giving people a warm feeling, at this time on the freezer street, there are 12 teams lined up with 600 migrant workers, in front of each team, there is a straight waist, dressed in black new clothes, that is the 12 managers of Tianjian Construction Co., Ltd., and then look forward to erect 20 tall wooden poles, which are hung with long firecrackers dragged to the ground, and more than 3,000 residents of the original freezer street stand in an open space two feet away from the firecrackers. Although they moved out of here, since they received the notice from the original Lizheng Huhai, they could not help but come, and everyone had a desire to return to this old place to live in the future.

Looking at Chen Shi, Hu Hai took a brand-new shovel with red silk tied to the wooden handle and handed it to Ding Qian's hand, Ding Qian took the shovel, shook it twice in his hand, and then walked to a wooden stake, stuck the shovel on the ground, stretched out his right foot and stepped on the spade gang, and lifted a spade of soil.

Hu Hai shouted loudly: "Break ground!" ”

Before the shouts fell, twenty and a half men who stood under the wooden pole and held the incense candles in their hands touched the incense candles on the twists of the firecrackers.

After the firecrackers went off, Hu Hai shouted again: "Start work!" ”

With the shouting, the 600 migrant workers, all holding shovels, walked towards the pre-drawn sign line, and suddenly saw the figures shaking, the shovels flying, and the migrant workers digging the foundation in full swing.

Immediately, the people who watched the excitement also dispersed.

Hu Hai sighed and said to Ding Qian: "Shopkeeper Ding, this groundbreaking scene is really not small, this is the first time I have seen such a scene." ”

Ding Qian said with a smile: "That's it, the scene of Qin Shi Huang building the Great Wall is hundreds of times more spectacular than this." ”

Hu Haidao: "That's the initiative of a generation of kings, how can it be compared." ”

Because the work of digging the foundation is paid according to the piecework wage, this greatly mobilizes the enthusiasm of the migrant workers, and the progress of each day is very fast, according to this progress, the work of digging the foundation can be completed in less than 15 days.

But on the fifth day, an unexpected event occurred.

That night, after a tiring day's dinner, the migrant workers went to bed early, Ding Qian still called Hu Hai as usual, and the two of them took a look in the shed one by one with lanterns, and then circled around the construction site to see that there was nothing abnormal, and then returned to their rooms.

After Ding Qian returned to the room, he fell on the bed with his clothes, looked at the book by the light of the candle, looked at it, and closed his eyes unconsciously. Then there was the sound of banging on the basin, Ding Qianyi turned over and jumped up, looked outside the runway, only to see the westernmost shed where there was a fire, and hurriedly ran over, at this time everyone was awakened, they took buckets, basins and so on to rush to fight the fire, fortunately, this freezer street is the place where Kaifeng Mansion stores fire water, the water source is sufficient, after the efforts of hundreds of people, the fire that has just been ignited was quickly extinguished, but the shed has been burned down frame, fortunately there is no loss of personnel.

Ding Qian asked the people in the shed: "What's the matter, who accidentally ran the fire?" ”

Someone said: "Shopkeeper Ding, there is no one in our shed to start a fire, and the shed seems to have burned first from the outside." ”

Ding Qian nodded and said, "Oh, I see." You guys go and spend the night in the other sheds, and we'll talk about it tomorrow. ”

After everyone dispersed, Ding Qian returned to his room, and Hu Hai followed.

Hu Haidao: "Shopkeeper Ding, needless to say, someone deliberately set the fire. ”

Ding Qiandao: "This is that person, who has a deep hatred with me, and actually committed arson." ”

Hu Haidao: "It's still a matter of brains to guess, it must have been done by the sons of the old Wangtou's family." ”

Ding Qian said: "If there is no evidence, let's not speculate randomly!" ”

Hu Hai "snapped" and slapped the table fiercely and said: "Is there still a question about this, I dare to take my head to guarantee that they did it, and when it is dawn, I will go to the Yamen of Kaifeng Mansion to report the case, and let that Liu Bantou arrest the three sons of Lao Wangtou into prison. ”

Ding Qian smiled bitterly: "Uncle, I think you should rest!" This is not necessarily what they did, if they really did it, it didn't cause any big losses, I don't think we need to pursue it anymore, and we will strengthen it in the future. ”

Hu Haidao: "How can this work, you let them go today, who can guarantee that they will not be able to make an inch, and they may not do bigger things in the next step." ”

Ding Qian said: "Uncle, it is better to settle the grievances than to settle them, when is the time for retribution, you don't have to worry about this matter, just leave it to me to deal with." ”

Hu Haidao: "Okay, I'll see how you deal with it." ”

Ding Qian smiled and said: "Uncle, you don't need to ask, the mountain people have their own tricks!" ”
