Chapter 209: Master craftsmen from all walks of life gather in the provincial capital
According to Lu Yuzhu's request, Zhou Laoer brought people to check the roof first, and selected the best wood for replacement.
All the tiles have been removed, and some of the mats used to cushion the tiles are no longer usable.
There must be some leaks on rainy days.
According to the request of my third brother’s wife, the inside was also waterproofed.
Use what is usable and replace what is not.
Seeing the commotion here, Team Leader Wu came to take a look when he got off work.
When I got home, I complained to my wife: "Comrade Xiao Lu invested a lot this time. I see that the whole house has been renovated."
His wife chuckled, "They want to live here for a long time, so they have to fix it. Several places leak when it rains heavily.
Besides, why do we need so many houses? It would be better to sell them off.”
Zhou Jianping has now been promoted to foreman. When there are enough people, he only gives orders.
Watching the workers scrape off the lime and paint on the wall.
The bricklayers mixed cement and reinforced the wall inside and out.
Then paint the walls with traditional lime to prevent moisture and mildew!
The electrician who was hired installed a row of small light bulbs in the corner of the wall according to Lu Yuzhu's instructions.
As long as the light cord is pulled, these small bulbs will light up in strings.
Brightens and looks beautiful.
Zhou Jianping smiled helplessly. How much would it cost to light so many lights in electricity?
Lu Yuzhu paid them their wages in cash, and the workers were a little flattered.
She has plenty of money in her space, and if it’s not enough to spend, she can sell ginseng.
When Zhou Laoer brought his men back, Zhou Laoda and his group of carpenters came.
Lu Yuzhu took out a blueprint and said, "Brother, you guys should decide the proportions and dimensions of the bed. I don't understand these things either.
But the shape of this bed must be according to my drawing. You can divide the work among the masters.
The best craftsman specializes in carving on the bed board, and his wages are the highest."
Zhou Jianming looked at the drawing in his hand. It was a large carved bed, which was different from the carved beds in ancient times.
It's not that complicated.
It is also more elegant and refined than what ordinary people use.
"Third sister-in-law, this looks familiar to me. It's similar to the big bed in your little Western-style building."
Lu Yuzhu took out a few more drawings and said, "There are several shapes of beds, and the differences are not too big, but there are many different types of bed boards.
There are beautiful and practical pieces. I want everyone who enters my furniture factory to feel that they can’t buy anything else and that they like what they want here.”
Boss Zhou grabbed a handful of his hair. His third brother's wife was a little too arrogant. Nowadays, many people still ask carpenters to come to their homes to make custom beds.
I don’t know if my third sister-in-law can do business by doing this.
Beds are also sold on the market, and they are sold in daily necessities companies. Bowls, chopsticks, beds, furniture, tables, umbrellas, raincoats, everything is available there.
Do you have any chance of winning if you compete with others for food?
At least these carpenters who go from house to house have never heard of such a case.
However, for a long time, Boss Zhou's mysterious confidence in his third brother's wife has made him feel at ease.
They had seen this house before, and it was dilapidated with collapsed walls.
Their initial impression: The only advantage of this house is that it is big.
But when I came to the provincial capital again, I saw this bright and tall house, it was so beautiful!
There are a total of 6 major areas here, and each area has 4 pillars, extending from the ground to the beams.
It plays a good supporting role and makes the room look large and spacious.
Yuzhu pointed to the empire she had conquered, "This is the battlefield I prepared for you.
The level to which you develop your carpentry skills will determine how much money you will earn in the future!"
Thinking of the group of bricklayers returning home with bulging wallets, the smile on everyone's face was full of satisfaction.
The carpenters also issued a declaration of war with great enthusiasm.
As long as you work, you will get paid!
The boss will not let anyone down!
Veteran Xiao Zhang also came along this time.
Lu Yuzhu took him and his elder brother directly to the place where wood was wholesaled and bought a batch first for everyone to practice.
Everyone knows that different levels of work determine how much you get paid.
They all showed off their unique skills.
Everyone makes bed boards, bed legs, bed frames, and there are also master carvers who specialize in carving.
They carved the carvings on Lu Yuzhu's drawings vividly.
This time, Zhou Laoer came with the painter he had just hired.
My eldest brother used to be a carpenter and also did painting.
Now my third brother and his wife don’t allow them to do these things. Every stall they set up needs someone to manage it, and of course it’s better to use someone from the family.
The skills of professional painters are really good. Their superb paint mixing skills save Lu Yuzhu a lot of worries.
Everyone heard from people who returned to their hometown that Zhou Laosan's wife would pay the bill as soon as the work was completed and paid a high salary.
The news spread from one relative to another, and many people came to visit.
After being selected by the Zhou brothers, those who can stand in front of Lu Yuzhu all have outstanding skills.
The standard that Lu Yuzhu set for them was that all painters would work in two shifts, working half a day and resting half a day, and their wages would be settled the same as those of carpenters and bricklayers.
All the people who came were stunned, looking at the two Zhou brothers in disbelief.
After receiving a reassuring look, these people all suggested, "Boss, can we work overtime and earn two days' wages in one day?"
Lu Yuzhu rejected it directly.
"I do need workers, that's right! But even as an amateur, I know that painting is very harmful to your health.
I customize half-day work for you, and you get a full-day salary to take care of you. You can combine work and rest, and still earn money. This is the long-term solution."
At this time, the carpenters just understood that the employer insisted on giving them masks while they were working, so that they could block the dust from the wood chips.
As they worked, everyone strengthened their resolve in their hearts.
As long as the boss's woodworking factory remains open, they will continue to work here.
In the past, when I worked for someone else's house, when it came time to get paid, I would either get a discount or be paid in arrears.
It is extremely difficult to get the full payment quickly.
They are just rural people. As long as they have enough food to eat and a little extra money to earn, they can get by.
Sometimes, people would rather take less of the agreed wages than have them delayed endlessly.
It’s for the sake of reputation and also for the next business.
The reason why I traveled thousands of miles from my hometown to work for Zhou's family is not because I don't want to be bullied when paying the bill, and I want to live a good life, right?
