With his white hand, he said to Jiang Dakui: "Uncle Shi, the eight eulogies recited by the mason when he broke the ground were left by your master, that is, my grandfather Tong. Although he was only a stonemason, he also knew a little about the rules and exquisiteness of carpenters and plasterers. ”

Jiang Dakui nodded and said, "That's right." I remember that the master told him that he really knew so much. ”

"As for how I knew that Ding Deyang would be bad, it's easy to say. When the old house was demolished yesterday, didn't Ding Deyang also come. He made a gesture at the time, and I knew he was doing bad, that he wasn't a good person. ”

Li Guilin asked, "What did he do?" ”

"He took advantage of everyone's inattention, spit on the stepped stone that my house had removed, and then stepped on his own spit with his foot."

Li Guilin nodded, "This is making a mistake." This Ding Deyang, his whole action means to cut off your waterway, and the waterway is the financial road. ”

Jiang Dakui said: "Hand, you should beat him hard, you shouldn't just let him go." ”

Li Guilin said: "Forget it, today is the day when Xiaobai's family builds a house, and peace is precious." ”

"But, hand, have you found another mason?" Jiang Dakui asked.

"Oh, say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here." Whitehand smiled.

A group of five people and three bicycles appeared at the door of Bai's house.

Li Guilin and Jiang Dakui also knew each other, and hurriedly got up to greet them.

It turned out that the leading mason was called Xiao Guoming, from Longao Township, and was the cousin of Xiao Guoxing, the head of Longao Township, and a well-known mason.

After discovering that Ding Deyang was bad yesterday afternoon, he urgently contacted his brother-in-law Xiao Guoxing, and Xiao Guoxing recommended his cousin Xiao Guoming.

Originally, under normal circumstances, contact the carpenter, the stonemason, the mason, a few days in advance. Even if you don't have any work at hand and are idle at home, you have to put on a shelf.

But Xiao Guoxing has an order, and Xiao Guoming has to be the busiest, not to mention making a fortune from scratch, and gradually becoming famous, he is a person Xiao Guoming admires.

Bai Shou asked the second brother Bai Dang to bring a big front door cigarette, and Bai Dang threw the cigarette to Xiao Guoming.

"Master Xiao, thank you for your hard work."

"Well said, well said." Xiao Guoming smiled, took the cigarette and handed it to the apprentice, and then waved it with his white hands with Li Guilin and Jiang Dakui.

Li Guilin smiled: "Guoming, let's work." If you don't do it, we can't move. ”

Jiang Dakui also smiled: "Yes, yes." Lao Xiao, work first, then drink. ”

Xiao Guoming nodded, picked up the iron, walked to the foot of the old wall, and said something in his mouth.

After reading, Xiao Guoming shoveled the soil.

Then he took the iron shovel with his white hands.

Li Guilin and Jiang Dakui also continued to shovel soil.

The three craftsmen and the master took turns shoveling the soil, and the groundbreaking ceremony came to an end.

After breakfast, we entered the full groundbreaking.

Before the groundbreaking, the masons took the lead, and the three craftsmen jointly staked out.

The so-called lofting is to take the ash powder, draw the four walls and eight bases of the ground sample, and then let everyone dig out the soil and put it aside according to the ground sample.

A three-story building was built from scratch, but the foundation was built as a five-story building, so the foundation was dug very deep, one meter and five high.

Unable to stand the strength of the large number of people, more than 30 people participated, and later more than 20 people came to help, and by two o'clock in the afternoon, the task of excavating the foundation had been completed.

Then came the time when the masons showed their talents.

Manually drive piles in the foundation, lay steel bars in the foundation, and pour concrete into the foundation...... Vigorous and methodical.

As the master, the white hand never leaves the construction site.

Until ten o'clock in the evening, the pouring of the foundation was almost completed.

While everyone was eating supper, they paid the helpers with their own hands, one day as two days, not only two yuan per person, but also an additional pack of cigarettes per person.

After the concrete foundation is poured, it takes at least five days to wait.

But the next day is the day to get started.

The starting ceremony, also known as paving the ridge, is to add a layer of stone slabs to the foundation, lay a good level on the stone slabs, and brick and brick walls on the stone slabs.

The hour was from five to seven o'clock in the morning, and Jiang Dakui and his two apprentices arrived early.

The slate has begun to be processed yesterday, and today it is nothing more than a formality, a formal and comprehensive paving ridge, after the concrete has dried.

It is also important to start laying the ridge, and you have to put money under the ridge.

Large families put gold, rich people put silver, general copper plates, the poorest is to save a little, but also to put a few copper plates.

Jiang Dakui kept the others away and only let the white hands stay.

"Xiaobai, if you want me to put it, it's just some copper plates, not pure copper."

The white hand was prepared, took out some gold coins and silver dollars from his pocket, and threw them evenly on the foundation.

"Wealth comes from the sky, the world is everywhere, there is a fate to meet, and the God of Wealth sees ...... day by day"

Jiang Dakui chattered as he poured cement slurry onto gold coins and silver yuan.

Then, Jiang Dakui put the processed stone slab on the gold coins and silver yuan, and recited words in his mouth.

After the ceremony of starting hands, Bai Shou and Jiang Dakui both breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Dakui smiled: "What now." Xiaobai, it will take five days to build the wall. During these five days thou shalt send men to keep watch. Otherwise, I'm afraid some people will be worried. ”

Whistling with white hands.

Within ten seconds, Da Bai and Da Hua ran over with their four sons and daughters.

With his white hands, he rushed at Da Bai and Da Hua, and said a lot of words, anyway, Jiang Dakui didn't understand a word.

Da Bai and Da Hua understood.

They squatted or sat around the paved ridges, and the dogs looked at them.

Holding Jiang Dakui away with his white hand, he smiled and said, "Uncle Shi, let's drink." If anyone dares to steal, then I will admit it. ”

Five days later, the concrete in the foundation was dry.

The ridges were fully paved, the brick walls were built, and the construction of new houses began in earnest.

When someone else builds a house, it is still a three-story building, and the mason has to drag it out for two or three months.

It's a rule, and the owner has nothing to say.

Now it is a self-made family building a new house, Xiao Guoming is very powerful, he transferred six apprentices and worked overtime.

In just one month, five three-story buildings have been topped out.

The new walls of the two courtyards have also been built, which used to be stone walls, but now they are all brick walls, which used to be 1.5 meters high, and now they have also been increased to 2.28 meters.

During this month, the factory was also expanded.

The old plant was not demolished, but only expanded, which did not affect the normal production.

One mill, one mixer and one packing machine were added, and the baking room was increased from two to three plates.

After some expansion, the biscuit factory has increased from 12 to 18 stations, and the production capacity has increased by 50%.

After the autumn harvest, the biscuit factory was in normal production, and nine more female workers were recruited.

In the eyes of others, they lived in a new house, the biscuit factory was booming, and the Bai family was famous.

But there is an account in the palm of the white hand, and when this account is calculated, the white hand is not very happy.

It's not that I don't know, but I'm shocked.

Build new houses, expand factories, and the money on hand is gone.
