Shen Xinghuo is full of hope for the future, and so is Zhuo Shao.

After finishing Shen Xinghuo's hotel, he knew more about the decoration industry at this time, and he also knew many workers. After that, he could register a decoration company.

After the contract was signed, Zhuo Shao went to buy cement and sand.

The technology needed to start a factory like a cement factory is not high. There is one in Fuyang County. Zhuo Shao was in a hurry, so he simply found a car to deliver it to the door. In the end, when the cement and sand were all in, he was released. After a sigh of relief, he hurried home to cook again, and by the way asked Xu Dagang to pick him up.

When Xu Dagang brought people back, Zhuo Shao's meal was not ready, but he was in a good mood: "You guys rest, you can eat right away."

"Brother, we are going to school, and we are not tired, so why should we rest?" Zhuo Ting said.

Liang Chen didn't speak, but he went straight into the kitchen and smiled at Zhuo Shao.

In fact, there was no work for Liang Chen to do in the kitchen, but Liang Chen insisted on staying in the kitchen and did not plan to leave.

Seeing this, Zhuo Ting pouted and went back to her room to do her homework.

Most children don't like doing homework and will try their best to procrastinate. Zhuo Ting did this a long time ago.

But in the previous year, Qu Guixiang wished that they would not do her homework to help her work. Zhuo Ting almost failed to turn in her homework several times. Later, she became more active in her homework, and even got used to doing her homework first when she had time. Done.

The three of them had things to do. Xu Dagang was a little overwhelmed when he saw this. He thought about it, and finally went into the bathroom to find a rag and wiped the floor.

Zhuo Shao was more satisfied with him.

Originally, Zhuo Shao only planned to find someone to last through this period of time, but now that he is so diligent, he wants to nurture him.

It is impossible for him to keep an eye on every project, and he will definitely train several reliable project managers in the future.

Zhuo Shao stayed with Xu Dagang to eat together. After eating, he took Xu Dagang out and went to the house.

"You work overtime with me at night, and you will be paid for overtime at that time." On the way there, Zhuo Shao paid Xu Dagang 100 yuan in advance, and then said to Xu Dagang.

Xu Dagang looked at Zhuo Shao gratefully and nodded again and again.

Zhuo Shao went over the big night this time, so that he could do some work ahead of time.

There is no need to build walls in the lobby of the hotel, but the kitchen needs to be built. It is impossible to do whole cabinets like home decoration. Generally, they are built with low walls, and then covered with marble for countertops, or directly covered with There are also cement boards and tiles.

If the masons come tomorrow to measure the walls, maybe the last morning will pass and the construction will not start... Zhuo Shao simply measured the cables in advance and marked the places where the walls need to be built.

Xu Dagang gave Zhuo Shao lighting with a battery lamp. In the end, Zhuo Shao was busy until nine o'clock, and he was finally finished, and he also had an overall plan for the kitchen.

"Go back first, and come find me at half past six tomorrow morning." Zhuo Shao said to Xu Dagang.

After leaving get off work at 9 o'clock in the evening, someone came over at 6:30 in the morning. Zhuo Shao is definitely exploiting people, but Xu Dagang has no opinion at all, and even thinks that he has found a good job.

Although he followed Zhuo Shao to many places today, he was not tired from work, and the dinner he ate at Zhuo Shao's house was very rich... Moreover, he had thirty yuan a day!

He was digging the river mud until his back was sore, and he was only fifteen a day.

On the way back, Xu Dagang saw a grocery store open, so he went in and bought a pack of cigarettes, which he planned to give to the security guard who introduced him to the job tomorrow.

"Xu Dagang, have you bought cigarettes? Give me two." Just as he walked out of the grocery store, Xu Dagang met an acquaintance he knew when he was a small laborer.

"Brother Li, I'm going to give this cigarette to someone tomorrow." Xu Dagang put the cigarette into his arms and smiled shyly.

"It's stingy." Brother Li muttered, and then asked, "Xu Dagang, what kind of job did the security guard introduce to you?"

"Someone is renovating the restaurant, and there is a shortage of small workers, so I'll go do miscellaneous cooking." Xu Dagang said.

That person suddenly lost interest in asking again. Xu Dagang took a cigarette and returned to the place where he lived with others, but he couldn't help but think of Zhuo Shaolai.

His boss is really amazing!

It looks like he is about the same age, but he can do anything!

He had only heard of that computer, but Zhuo Shao was able to use it so proficiently, that's all, he would talk business with people...

Xu Dagang made up his mind to learn more from Zhuo Shao, and fell asleep excitedly this time.

He has to get up early tomorrow, but Zhuo Shao didn't stay up late that night. When he got up early in the morning, he made breakfast and sent his two children to study, then went to the construction site.

When he arrived at the construction site, it was only seven o'clock in the morning, and before the masons he called yesterday had come, Zhuo Shao took Xu Dagang and mixed cement and yellow sand to work first.

He didn't go to build the whole wall, but just built the bottom layer according to the line he drew yesterday, so that when the mason arrives, he can build it directly, which saves a lot of trouble and time.

After Zhuo Shao worked for more than an hour, the mason he found came over and gave the work to the two masons. After negotiating the price, Zhuo Shao would not do the work.

If he wants a project to be done quickly and well, management is the most important thing. He doesn't need to waste his time doing this kind of work.

While the masons were building the walls, some of the carpenters and electricians that Zhuo Shao contacted yesterday also came.

They all don't have mobile phones. Zhuo Shao called from their home yesterday. Those who answered the phone themselves were fine. Some were answered by family members. have a look.

Zhuo Shao quickly explained the situation on his side, and said that as long as he was not lazy when he was working, the price he gave would be high.

"When did carpentry start?" the carpenter who helped Zhuo Shao with Zhou Zhengqiang's house asked Zhuo Shao.

"It will start in two days, but you can come over tomorrow, and some things can be made ahead of time." Zhuo Shao said, some cabinets needed in the kitchen can be made first, and then fixed at that time.

"Okay, then I'll come over tomorrow." The woodworker said. Zhuo Shao gave a lot of money here. Now that the Chinese New Year is coming, he works hard for a while, and he can make some money for a good New Year.

The carpentry work will take a few days to start, and the electrician's work will start in the afternoon. In fact, if the wires and pipes have not been delivered, it can be started this morning - this project does not require Run the wires on the mason's wall, so the electrician can totally do it with the mason.

Zhuo Shao was too busy to touch the ground, so he left many things to Xu Dagang to do, such as buying a large rice cooker and liquefied gas tank liquefied gas stove to cook for the workers, all of which were done by Xu Dagang .

After ten o'clock at noon, Xu Dagang bought all the things, washed the vegetables, and Zhuo Shao finally got the wires and pipes.

"You cook the rice, I'll cook some dishes first." After washing his hands, Zhuo Shao said to Xu Dagang.

"Ah?" Xu Dagang looked at Zhuo Shao with some doubts, Zhuo Shao was so busy, and he planned to cook by himself?

"It's for two children." Zhuo Shao smiled and started cooking with the vegetables Xu Dagang bought.

What kind of vegetables to buy, he explained to Xu Dagang in advance, and now Xu Dagang has washed the vegetables... Zhuo Shao made a soup with cabbage hearts and sliced ​​meat, and cut the chicken wings into small pieces to make braised chicken wings, and finally fried them. A tomato scrambled egg, he took it to deliver meals to the two children, leaving Xu Dagang to cook for the workers.

He was very busy, but he continued to cook for Liang Chen and Zhuo Ting. This was because he was worried that Liang Chen would eat outside food, and more importantly, because cooking and delivering meals was not a tiring job for him. , it would make him relax.

When people do one thing and are very tired and nervous, they can relax themselves by doing another thing.

Zhuo Shao went to deliver the meal, and he sorted out what he was going to do on the way. When he returned to the construction site, Xu Dagang had already prepared the meals for the workers.

It took a long time to prepare today, and it was too late to make dishes that take time like braised pork. Xu Dagang only cooked a few quick dishes, one stir-fried pork slices with garlic leaves, one boiled Chinese cabbage with oil residue, and one mustard soup.

There are only two dishes and one soup, but the workers are already very satisfied. After all, the fried pork slices with garlic leaves are full of fragrant pork belly slices.

Zhuo Shao was also quite satisfied. After eating, he started holding the drawings and told the two electricians who came over how to pull the wires, and then started to contact the person who made the central air conditioner...

This hotel, Shen Xinghuo, must have a central air conditioner, not a small central air conditioner for household use, but a large one.

However, it is not necessary to do all of them for the time being, as long as the pipes are arranged on the top of the lobby, after all, the upstairs has not been decorated yet.

This winter, the hotel will definitely not be able to turn on the central air conditioner. Fortunately, in a place like the hotel, it is basically not too cold, and the guests at this time are generally not very demanding...

Shen Xinghuo came here in the morning and looked at the yellow sand cement, water pipes and wires, and came again in the afternoon. Seeing that everything here in Zhuo Shao was done in an orderly manner, he felt relieved.

He didn't believe that Zhuo Shao could renovate the ground floor of the hotel years ago, but now, he does believe it a little...

"Mr. Shen, I bought the yellow sand cement, but I want you to buy the plates. I have already made a list." Zhuo Shao took out a list and gave it to Shen Xinghuo.

In the half-package contract he signed with Shen Xinghuo, he was responsible for the purchase of electric wires, water pipes, yellow sand, cement switches, etc. These bits and pieces really didn't cost too much money.

But these tiles, plates and lamps were bought by Shen Xinghuo.

Now that the project has begun, these follow-up things will naturally follow.

It is necessary to buy the board first. As for the ceramic tile, it can be bought after the project is on the right track in two days.

As for why it takes two days... He will definitely follow to see it when the time comes.

"Okay, I'll buy it later." Shen Xinghuo took the list and nodded.

Seeing this, Zhuo Shao made another appointment with him to see the floor and wall tiles.

When these things are done with water and electricity, people can come to the door to measure and calculate the area and start posting them.

Now that the end of the year is approaching, Shen Xinghuo's restaurant is very busy. Fortunately, he doesn't need to be in charge now, and with his wife helping him look after the store, he can walk out.

The two agreed to see the bricks two days later, and after saying a few more words, Tang Tianqing walked in from the outside with a frown.

"Old Shen, the construction of your hotel has already started? Why didn't you tell me?" Tang Tianqing's expression at this moment was really not very good-looking.

After talking with Shen Xinghuo yesterday, he thought that the work on Shen Xinghuo's side was definitely his, but he did not expect to learn that Shen Xinghuo's construction site had started today!

Seeing Tang Tianqing, Shen Xinghuo smiled boldly: "Old Tang, I'm sorry, I promised my little brother in advance. When you came here yesterday, they had already prepared their designs and so on."

Although Shen Xinghuo went to Tang Tianqing before and talked with Tang Tianqing again yesterday, but he did not agree to let Tang Tianqing do this project, so there is no embarrassment at this moment.

Tang Tianqing looked at the construction site that had already started, and knew that what Shen Xinghuo said was true. He was afraid that they had already started preparations for the construction to start so quickly.

But even so, he was still very dissatisfied with Zhuo Shao, and even raised a strong sense of vigilance.

Among the people in Fuyang County who are doing decoration, he is definitely the boss, and there is no one who can do better than him, but now...

Could the decoration company in this provincial capital plan to open a branch in Fuyang County?

Tang Tianqing and Shen Xinghuo chatted a few words, and praised Kua Zhuoshao for leaving, but when he left, his face immediately sank.

Not long after Tang Tianqing left, Shen Xinghuo also left, but Zhuo Shao stayed at the construction site and discussed with the workers about starting night work.

Although the electrician has already entered, there is no electricity here, that is to say, there is no light at night.

But it was not difficult for Zhuo Shao. He borrowed a small kerosene generator and turned on a few lights, so that he could start night work at night.

In this era, expenses are not small, a bottle of Coke costs several dollars, but the wages of workers are low, and the income of many families is also low. Under such circumstances, workers are quite willing to work at night to earn more. Therefore, In the end everyone agreed.

To start night work, dinner will be eaten on the construction site. Zhuo Shao asked Xu Dagang to cook the food, and when Xu Dagang was ready, he asked Xu Dagang to go to school to pick up Liang Chen and Zhuo Ting.

Taking advantage of this time, Zhuo Shao made a few dishes and packed them into the lunch box.

When Liang Chen and Zhuo Ting were brought to the construction site, Zhuo Shao gave them the lunch box: "This is dinner. After Xu Dagang sends you back, you can use the rice cooker to cook some food, and you can eat it later."

When Zhuo Shao spoke, he kept looking at Liang Chen.

It's been about twenty days since Liang Chen was kidnapped, probably because he kept exercising and started to grow taller. Although he didn't eat less, he lost some weight, and the baby fat on his face disappeared.

Zhuo Shao couldn't help but touched his head, and then he felt a sense of contentment.

"Zhuo Shao, you don't have to cook for us, we can do it ourselves." Liang Chen couldn't help saying.

He still likes Zhuo Shao to cook for himself, but Zhuo Shao has worked so hard, but it also makes him distressed.

"I'm fine, but I can't leave here." Zhuo Shao patted Liang Chen's head again: "If I'm really tired, I won't do it." He really didn't feel tired from cooking, after all, he didn't have to use his brain. And... With Xu Dagang here, he doesn't have to touch his hands to wash dishes or pots at all.

Compared with cooking, in Zhuo Shao's view, the most troublesome thing is the cleaning work before and after.

Zhuo Shao asked Liang Chen to go back early. Although Liang Chen didn't want to leave, but seeing that Zhuo Shao was so busy, he would only disturb Zhuo Shao here, so he stopped insisting and left early.

That night, the light from the kerosene generator illuminated the entire construction site, and the workers on the construction site also started night work.

At this time, there was nothing for Zhuo Shao to work on, so Zhuo Shao built a brick stool for himself with bricks and sat down.

When Liang Chen came over, he saw Zhuo Shao, who was wearing a dirty worker's clothes, sitting on a brick looking at the drawings.
