Coming to Black Earth City again, this time Chen Xiansong was not interested in playing, but went straight to the point, asking Balf to take him to the construction worker. Most of the builders have their own groups or organizations to belong to, and there are three decent construction teams in Black Earth City, one is a subordinate organization of the Soul Thinker, and the road to Greystone Village is being built, one belongs to the Lord's Mansion, and one is an ordinary civil organization.
The construction industry is actually very particular about connections, and the Soul Thinkers Association and the Lord's Mansion are not worried about this matter, the nobles, and the big businessmen either do not move the soil, and once the ground is moved, it is a big project, and the first choice is the first two, so they make a lot of money. Non-governmental organizations don't have this advantage, but they also have the advantage that they are relatively cheap.
What Balff took Chen Xiansong to was this folk construction team.
In the hall of the stone building, there is a middle-aged man sitting in front of the stage and taking a nap, engaged in the construction industry, either not opening, opening for three years, and usually having nothing to do, he is very idle. Balf walked in and knocked on the stage: "Faisal, business is coming, wake up." ”
The middle-aged man jumped up in fright, he opened his eyes and smiled: "Tsk, isn't this Balf, I heard that you were summoned by the Soul Thinkers Association not long ago." Tsk, now you are comfortable, you don't have to run around, when to have a party, please celebrate with our old friends. ”
"There will be opportunities in the future." Balf smiled and patted the other party's shoulder: "No, I'm here to take care of your business." My master, there is an urgent need to build a batch of houses, about fifty rooms, do you have enough manpower? ”
"Yo, that's big business." The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and then became happy: "Your master is not ......" He turned his gaze to the back of Balf, saw Chen Xiansong, and then immediately ran out from behind the counter: "Isn't this the new soul contemplator of this city, Your Excellency Chen Xiansong!" Welcome to the 'Giant's Hand' Architectural Tour. ”
Looking at the 'businessman' who looked like a little haba in front of him, Chen Xiansong smiled and nodded: "Hello, may I ask your surname?" ”
"Before Your Excellency, my surname didn't dare to be noble, so if you don't mention it, just call me Faisal." Faisal shook his head again and again: "Some time ago, at the banquet in the Lord's Palace, I saw Your Excellency, and I was very fascinated, but unfortunately my status was low, and I didn't dare to come forward to talk to Your Excellency. If you have any needs, just send someone to tell us, and we will immediately go to your house to negotiate, so why bother Your Excellency to go there yourself. ”
In the new human era, the profession of a businessman can only be regarded as a hobby, and the businessmen at that time were all new humans who were neither humble nor arrogant, and had a fair business. ”
"It's good to take a walk, you can strengthen your body, and the sun god servant also said that if you take a walk from time to time, you can live for more than ten or twenty years." Faisal nagged and said, "Your Excellency, please come in and sit inside, and I will have tea served, please wait." As he spoke, his eyes swept over Bai Min, first stunned for less than a second, and then immediately turned his gaze away, as an ordinary civilian businessman, he knew that a woman with a big man could not be seen casually, even if she was beautiful.
After Chen Xiansong sat down inside, Faisal entered the inner hall, and after a while, he came out with a saucer and a few cups of flower tea, followed by a man covered in white rock powder. Faisal first invited Chen Xiansong to drink tea, but at this time, Bai Min stopped Chen Xiansong, she picked up the teacup first, sniffed at the cup in the somewhat surprised eyes of everyone, and then handed it to Chen Xiansong: "There is no poison, you can drink it." ”
Faisal's face changed color slightly, Bai Min's style was really hurtful. Chen Xiansong was also a little embarrassed, and he said to Faisal: "I'm sorry, my relatives are usually too concerned about my safety, please don't blame me." ”
Faisal's face looked much better at this time, and he could get a positive apology from a soul contemplative, and that little mustard just now was nothing at all, and he hurriedly said: "Your Excellency is serious, this is our foreman, he has mastered four kinds of architectural drawings, if your Excellency has any needs, try to talk to him." ”
But Chen Xiansong didn't have any special requirements, just confessed to build fifty ordinary houses, and after paying half of the deposit, he was about to leave, but at this time Balf said strangely: "Master, aren't you going to build your manor?" ”,
"Wouldn't it be okay to live in the same house as you?"
Balf shook his head repeatedly: "That's not okay, my master, you are like this, you will make everyone unhappy?" ”
"For what?" Chen Xiansong was a little strange.
Balf explained: "We, in the kingdom of Kate, are not allowed to live in houses of the same size as the lord or the lord of the manor. In other words, if you live in such an ordinary house, we have to go back to living in a wooden shed in order not to break the law. I would like to believe that Your Excellency does not want such a thing to happen. ”
Chen Xiansong scratched his hair: "There is still such a statement? He turned to the construction foreman and asked, "How much does an ordinary manor house cost?" And how long? ”
The foreman replied, "The architectural layout of the lord of the manor requires about two hundred gold coins. Generally speaking, it takes about a month. ”
"A month is a long time." Chen Xiansong asked Bai Min: "Is our money enough?" ”
"More than enough."
"Then let's build one." Chen Xiansong said casually that he has no interest in what kind of house to live in, as long as there is a bed, a house that does not leak water and does not seep into the wind. On the contrary, he didn't understand what the nobles of the Dark Ages thought, no matter how luxurious and beautiful the house was, what was the use. Just to show off your identity? That's too boring, isn't it?
Faisal was very happy, and at once received fifty civilian houses, as well as a building in the main layout of the manor, and now the 'Giant's Hand' had to be fully funded. He was extremely grateful to Balf, an old friend who deserved to be an old friend, and actually introduced such a large business to himself.
After negotiating the business, Chen Xiansong was about to leave, when three people came in outside, and the one who walked in front was a young man in a noble white costume...... Your Excellency, long time no see, it's a pleasure to see you here. When this person saw Chen Xiansong, he originally had an angry face, but he changed his face in an instant and became affectionate.
Chen Xiansong felt that the person in front of him was a little familiar: "Excuse me, have we seen it somewhere?" ”
The eyebrows of the man's eyes were about to rise, but he had to make a look of enthusiasm, and Balf could only laugh when he watched from the sidelines, and he sympathized with the sad guy in front of him.
"Ha Lu Ha...... Your Excellency is joking, I'm Howard, and we talked at the lord's banquet. ”
The expression of the person who came was very exciting, Chen Xiansong looked at him, and felt that there was a long time ago, and the phrase commonly used by people in the 21st century could describe the current state of the other party: the bitterness is forced to the extreme. And the name 'Howard' was also a little familiar, he thought for a while, and finally remembered: "Oh, you're the one who ...... me at the banquet" and he couldn't say the next words.
"Your Excellency is here to build your own manor?" I don't even remember myself! Howard felt more and more resentment in his heart, but he endured it, looked around, his eyes fell on Bai Min, stared at it stupidly for a while, and then came back to his senses and asked, "Who is this beautiful lady?" "Bai Min didn't attend the banquet in the Lord's Mansion, so he didn't see it.
"Xiaomin, my relatives." Chen Xiansong said that he didn't like the guy in front of him, so he didn't want to talk nonsense with him, and then he casually found a reason to get out and left the construction industry.
Howard was at the door, watching Bai Min leave dementedly, and after a while, he took out a piece of paper, on which he wrote down a lot of items, he looked at it for a while, and asked the boss Faisal next to him: "You should have elemental crystal ashes here." ”
Faisal replied, "Yes, yes, but not much." ”
"I need fifteen kilograms, do I?"
Faisal shook his head.
"If you can dig it up in six days, I'll buy it for double the price on the market."
"As you wish." Faisal happily bent over.
Howard returns to his city villa from the construction row and locks himself in the house. He poured a glass of red fruit wine, but he was not in a hurry to drink it, but kept shaking. Bai Min's delicate appearance had been appearing in front of his eyes from just now to now, and he felt as if he was in love with her.
"I'm going to get her, even at any cost." Howard drank the red liquid from the cup in one gulp.
At this time, there was a few gentle knocks on the door, and a familiar voice sounded outside: "Little master, Lord Comos is waiting for you in the living room." ”
"Bring him here."
Comos walked in, closed the door, and said with a smile: "Why, don't call me when you drink, how are things going." ”
"I didn't dare to go to the construction line of the Soul Ponderers Association and the construction line of the Lord's Mansion for fear of alarming the target, so I went to find the 'Giant's Hand', but they didn't have enough goods, so I asked them to dig it up and send it to us."
"There's no hurry." Comos smiled and poured himself a glass of fruit wine: "You should now think about how to build a good relationship with the young soul, and then get close to him." ”
Howard looked at the wine glass in his hand with a dull gaze: "I saw that bastard just now, there is a very beautiful woman next to him, do you know the truth?" ”
"Of course, I know that Bai Min is a powerful female sorcerer. And she is so beautiful that I think only the top dragon women, or female sun god servants, can compare to her. Comos couldn't help but admire: "I once saw a female sun god servant in the royal capital, and I thought she was very beautiful at that time, but compared with Ms. Bai Min, there is still a big gap. ”
Howard raised his head, his gaze so hot that it seemed to turn the earth into magma: "I want to get her, I want to do it very much, I'm willing to trade everything for such an opportunity, friend, can you help me?" ”
Comos was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed, still with the same warm smile like the spring sun: "Of course, who called you my friend." ”
