523 Unable to make ends meet
Zheng Peng was a little depressed, he thought he could hug left and right, otherwise Lin Xun'er would be ambiguous, but he didn't expect Lu Shu to send someone to send a message back, Lin Xun'er and the county lord played in Cui's Mansion for a few more days and then came back, bored, Zheng Peng drank and chatted with Guo Ziyi and Li Bai until late at night, and finally the three big men squeezed into a shop.
How far and how far the treatment is.
Early the next morning, Guo Ziyi went back to duty, Zheng Peng was a little depressed and drank breakfast, and then took Li Bai and A Jun to Shengyefang to see how the new house was built.
At this time, in the new house in Shengye Fang, Zheng Jinlun was hurriedly commanding:
"What about the Li gardener, let him move these trees to a certain position, how do you look at it, the route designed in front of you is half a foot off."
"The whole house has to be cleaned, and after cleaning, you can get the money to go home for the New Year."
"Carpenter, add another layer of varnish to the doors and windows here."
"Who's laying the slate, one side is high and the other is low, and it should be done in half an hour, and the speed should be fast."
Zheng Jinlun gave orders while inspecting, and did not let go of some small flaws, which seemed very attentive.
As he walked, he accidentally saw Zheng Peng looking at him with a smile not far away, and hurriedly walked over: "Dongjia, when did you go back to Chang'an?" ”
Yuancheng repaired the new house was entrusted by Zheng Xiangyang, and received a big red envelope after doing it, this time Zheng Peng invited Zheng Jinlun to Chang'an to repair the new house at a high price of 3,000 yuan a year, and Zheng Jinlun called the owner very appropriate.
Zheng Peng saluted and said, "Uncle Zheng, I've caused you trouble, it's all my own people, let's call Feiteng." ”
"It's not troublesome at all" Zheng Jinlun said with a straight face: "I also collect money to do things, or do what I like to do, it's not hard at all, Feiteng, you look at how this house is, if you are not satisfied, it will be changed until you are satisfied." ”
Zheng Peng looked around, nodded again and again, and said: "Satisfied, satisfied, Uncle Zheng either doesn't make a move, and once he makes a move, he will be extraordinary, I am very satisfied." ”
Chang'an implements semi-military management, not only people's work and rest to manage, but also the appearance, size, and direction of the door opening of the house also have strict regulations, in terms of appearance, Zheng Peng and Zheng Jinlun dare not challenge the law of the Tang Dynasty, it is difficult to make any breakthroughs, and can only work the wind and decoration of the house.
Zheng Jinlun did use a lot of thought, the house is the style of the Jiangnan garden, the house, the corridor, the pavilion, the bridge, the pond, the rockery organic combination, the three steps of a small scene, five steps of a large scene of the essence of the essence to the fullest, the most important thing is that Zheng Jinlun according to Zheng Peng's requirements, the water supply, drainage system, sewage system is also very good.
The new house is largely finished, and now it is mainly renovated, with unique patterns on the windows, corridor railings, and even a small stone carving by the side of the flower bed, all of which have been carefully arranged and ingenuity can be seen everywhere.
When Zheng Peng handed over this matter to Zheng Jinlun, he only put forward his own requirements, and then he became the shopkeeper and let Zheng Jinlun take full responsibility, and now he sees the new house, Zheng Jinlun has lived up to his expectations of him, and he really gives himself a bright feeling.
"It's good if you like it, I'm afraid you'll be dissatisfied." Zheng Jinlun said happily.
Every craftsman is happy to see their works recognized and appreciated.
"Uncle Zheng, I heard you say just now, after finishing today, are you going to take a break from work?"
"Well, today is the twenty-sixth of the lunar month, tomorrow is the twenty-seventh, they have been busy for a year, and they have to let them rest for a few days, after the New Year, they will return to work on the sixth day of the first month, and then they will put it for two days on the Shangyuan Festival, and then the work will be normal." Zheng Jinlun explained.
Among the craftsmen, in addition to some of the craftsmen of the Zheng family in Xingyang, a group of them were also invited from Chang'an, so they couldn't help but celebrate the New Year.
Zheng Peng nodded and continued to ask, "Uncle Zheng, where is the flower and wooden furniture I asked people to send?" ”
"It is placed in the rain hall near the pond, Feiteng, this set of flower and wood furniture is really a good thing, the style is consistent with the design of the rain hall, although the size has changed the structure of the rain hall, but the value, don't tell you, these days, a certain is in that set of furniture to take a nap to recuperate, it is your light."
Listen to the rain hall sit north to south, the use of convection multi-window design, the doors and windows are open is transparent on all sides, regardless of the south wind or the north wind, the east wind or the west wind, as long as there is the wind can enjoy the cool, the front of the hall is the pond, sit in the rain to enjoy the scenery of the pond, the flower nest wood can repel mosquitoes, nourish the spirit, lie on it to rest, very comfortable.
"Where is it, Uncle Zheng likes it, come and sit more in the future, by the way, how long will it take for the house to be completed?"
"In mid to late March, the main part is the decoration part, drainage, sewage, ventilation and maintenance, which will take a lot of time."
Zheng Peng nodded and continued to ask: "I know that it will not be wrong to hand over the matter to Uncle Zheng, right, Uncle Zheng, is there any difficulty?" ”
"There is no problem in this regard, after all, I have done it for so many years, I still have experience and connections, but when it comes to difficulties, there is, the money in my hand has been settled to the craftsmen, so that they can have a good New Year, a lot of materials have not been settled, I will give you the bill in a while, you check the account, and then settle the money for those materials, by the way, after the New Year, you also have to prepare a sum of money, decoration is very expensive You also know, I heard that you have recently built a bridge and become a parent, it costs a lot, there is no problem in terms of money, right?"
Money again.
Zheng Peng stubbornly said: "The problem is not big, Uncle Zheng, how much is there in the account outside, and how much money do you have to prepare for the New Year?" ”
"It's not much, the material money owed outside, adding up to about 2,000 guan, after the New Year, if you want to pack it well, you have to prepare at least 30,000 guan, of course, depending on the food, how you want to pretend depends on you." Zheng Jinlun said lightly.
Just like a set of coffee tables, with precious mahogany, and then ask a famous craftsman to build, hundreds of times is really not much, an ordinary fir coffee table, dozens of Wen can also be taken down, the price difference is huge.
"Okay, I know, this little thing will be handled by the little nephew." Zheng Peng said with a smile.
Lin Xun'er is not there, and Zheng Peng doesn't know how much it took to build the house, but listening to Xiaoyin, the cost is definitely not low, because Lin Xun'er has been controlling the cost of the old house, and before opening, he looked at the place where Lin Xun'er put the money on weekdays, and it seems that there are only a few hundred yuan of cash left.
The material money has to be made up for the New Year, Zheng Jinlun didn't speak, but his annual salary of 3,000 guan can not be less, not only 3,000 guan to give, he has worked hard for so long, how can he prepare a generous gift, adding up to five or six thousand, plus the expenses of the New Year and the Shangyuan Festival, how can it be tens of thousands.
After the New Year, there are still 30,000 yuan, that is, there is a gap of almost 40,000 yuan.
This money is really not spent, where can Guo Mansion borrow anymore, now Guo Ketang's power is constantly weakened, it is estimated that it is not easy to use a large amount of money, the Three Treasures can be mobilized some, but not much, where does Lu Shu have money, and she is also happy to give it to herself, the problem is that Zheng Peng is not good at using her money, he said in front of Cui Yuan that he would not touch Lu Shu's dowry money, if he really used it, Cui Yuan's old boy didn't know what to say.
It's a bit of a headache, you have to find a way to get the money out, or you will be chased behind your ass and ask for money, which will make people laugh.
It seems that the development of sake should start as soon as possible.
Shengyefang's new house wandered around for another half an hour, and Zheng Peng left with Li Bai.
"The owner, do you have something on your mind?" Li Bai suddenly asked.
"Oh, you see?"
Li Bai said with a smile: "I remember that the owner said that when men are worried, they are not for women or for money, and the beauties around the owner are like clouds, and they must not worry about women, so the owner's concern is to worry about money, right." ”
Zheng Peng turned his head to look at Li Bai, and said thoughtfully: "By the way, I almost forgot that you are a staff member, and they all say that the food monarch divides the king's worries, Xiaobai, now is the time to test you, think of a way, how to get a sum of money quickly." ”
"It's simple, the owner goes to Pingkangfang, and says that whichever girl will sleep with the girl if she has a thousand yuan, hehe, as long as the owner can hold on, why worry about the money."
"Okay, my small temple can't accommodate your great god, where do you come and go." Zheng Peng said angrily.
If you are in a bad mood, you dare to joke with yourself.
Li Bai hurriedly said: "Don't, owner, it was just a joke just now, I really thought of a way." ”
"Give you a chance, if you don't say it well, huh." Zheng Peng deliberately snorted coldly.
"The owner is just spending too much for a while, as long as he finds someone to borrow a sum of money to slow down."
"Who do you want to borrow?"
Li Bai smiled: "Far away in the sky, close in front of you." ”
"You?" Zheng Peng suddenly came to his senses: "Xiaobai, how much can you borrow?" ”
Li Bai didn't speak, and raised two fingers.
"Two thousand?"
"No, twenty thousand."
