Chapter 43 Decorating the House

Zhang Yuan followed the address given by Director Wang and came to the yard at No. 85 Nanluoguxiang.

"Young man, who are you looking for?" an old man asked when he saw that Zhang Yuan looked like a stranger.

"Oh, hello, uncle! I'm here to see Master Liu. Director Wang introduced me here." Zhang Yuan said as he took out a pack of cigarettes and handed one to the uncle.

The old man took the cigarette, put it to his ear, and said, "Go in and turn right. There is a moon-shaped door. It's the first room on the right after you go in."

Hearing that it was Director Wang from the Street Office who introduced him, Zhang Yuan thought that he was looking for Master Liu to renovate his house. The old man was very ready to show Zhang Yuan the way.

"Thank you, uncle!"

When they arrived at Master Liu's house, Zhang Yuan stood outside the door and shouted.

"Is Master Liu at home?"

"Who?"

I saw a man in his 50s walking out of the house and heard Zhang Yuan calling him.

"Comrade, do you want to talk to me?"

"Yes, Master Liu, Director Wang introduced me here. My house needs to be renovated, so I would like to ask you for help."

"Oh, that's no problem. My craftsmanship is top-notch in this area. I guarantee that your house can be lived in for hundreds of years." Seeing that there was work to be done, Master Liu patted his chest and said.

Master Liu asked: "How do you want to decorate the house? Do you have a blueprint?"

"Oh, because I came in such a hurry, I don't have the drawings yet?"

"Well, how about I go to your house and you tell me what I need to do?"

"That's great. Are you free now? I'll take you to my house."

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll bring the tools."

Then the two of them went straight back to the yard of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang.

"Zhang Yuan, you're back. Who is this?" Yan Bugui asked.

"Oh, Uncle San, this is Master Liu, whom Director Wang introduced. My house is going to be renovated, so I asked him to come and take a look."

"So that's what happened."

Suddenly Zhang Yuan remembered something and quickly said to Yan Bugui: "Also, there is one more thing, Third Uncle, please tell the people in the yard that I have rented the old stable next to my house. There are some sundries there. Please tell everyone to take the things away today or tomorrow, otherwise I will throw them away as garbage."

"Okay, I got it." Yan Bugui blushed. Almost all the sundries there belonged to his family. He thought no one would live there, so he piled all the sundries and picked up wood into it to occupy the entire stable.

After finishing the instructions, Zhang Yuan took Master Liu into his home.

Master Liu started working as soon as he came in. He carefully measured the area with a ruler and asked Zhang Yuan what requirements he had for the layout and materials.

Zhang Yuan said: "Master Liu, I plan to combine the current house and the stable into one house, which is about 60 square meters, and then divide it into two bedrooms, a living room, a bathroom and a kitchen."

Master Liu listened and drew, and then asked Zhang Yuan, "This area is enough, but you want to build a bathroom. Does the street office agree?"

"I've already told Director Wang, and it's on record."

"That's good."

"Also, I want to install independent water and electricity meters, so I need your help to re-route the water pipes and wires."

"That's no problem, but you have to hire someone to install the water and electricity meters yourself." Master Liu nodded and just did what he was told.

Master Liu said: "Over at the bathroom, I will dig and bury pipes in the wall next to you to make a septic tank. You just need to clean it on time, and I will lay cement on the floor of the house for you. I have connections to get it, but the price is a bit expensive."

"No problem, I can install the tiles in the kitchen and bathroom."

"Row."

"Then you can calculate how much it will cost, including labor and materials?"

"It will cost about 500 yuan."

"How long will it take?"

“Maybe 40 days.”

"No problem. I'll give you 250 yuan first, and I'll pay you the rest after the work is finished. How about that?"

"Sure." When Master Liu heard that Zhang Yuan was willing to pay half of the wages right away, he was of course willing to do so.

Zhang Yuan originally had more than 260 yuan left, and now he has lost 250 yuan. It seems that he has to think of more ways to make money recently.

After the two of them filled out the receipt, signed their names and put their fingerprints on it, Zhang Yuan handed 250 yuan to Master Liu.

"The money is correct." Master Liu counted it three times carefully, and nodded after confirming that there was no shortage. "I will lead the team to start work tomorrow, and I will trouble you to prepare lunch then."

"Okay, I'll trouble you starting tomorrow."

"I will handle it."

For a period of time afterwards, Zhang Yuan started to have a routine of going to work, coming back to cook at noon, and going fishing outside the city in the afternoon or catching rabbits or pheasants in the mountains on the outskirts of the city.

On the third day, Zhang Yuan completed Director Ma's purchasing task. In addition to the 20 yuan given by the system, he also earned 41 yuan from selling to the steel mill.

Before the money could even warm up, Zhang Yuan went to the street office to pay, because he planned to install independent water and electricity meters, which required him to pay 15 yuan. At that time, Director Wang also advised Zhang Yuan not to waste such money, but Zhang Yuan had his own ideas. He was afraid that Yi Zhonghai would then use the bathroom in his home as an excuse.

The only pity is that Zhang Yuan does not have a small space like in other novels, otherwise he could use the space to catch fish and wouldn’t have to work so hard.

Fortunately, Director Ma's favorability score was maxed out, giving me an extra point of charm, and my other skill experiences were also gradually increasing.

However, Zhang Yuan didn't want to cause trouble, but trouble still came to him.

One day, Master Liu found Zhang Yuan and told him that there was an old lady in his yard who often came to steal things. After being discovered by them, the old lady not only did not restrain herself, but also cursed at them. When they wanted to argue, an old man who claimed to be the manager came to mediate and told them not to be angry and not to argue with the old woman. Master Liu was so angry that he almost beat her up.
