Lying Low to Scavenge in the Courtyard

Zhang Weiguo transmigrates to that era of scarcity, a time of lacking clothes and food.

He is a decorated veteran who has been transferred to a position as the head of the purchasing departme...

Chapter 144: Renovation of the Winery

Zhang Weiguo found Liu Wen and asked, "How did the buyer do just now?"

"I'm doing well and getting along well with my colleagues."

"That's fine. Just solve any problem you have."

"Recently, Purchasing Sections 1 and 2 have been busy dealing with pigs, and we in Purchasing Section 3 have no tasks."

"Chief, where do they get pork?"

"I don't know about that. They won't tell you even if they have a way."

"They have been doing purchasing for such a long time, so getting two pigs shouldn't be a big problem."

"Do you know any familiar bricklayers?"

"Chief, what do you want a bricklayer for?"

"I made a yard that needs to be cleaned up."

"I actually know one, and his craftsmanship is really good."

"That's great. Write down the address for me and I'll go find him later."

Liu Wen wrote an address to Zhang Weiguo.

Zhang Weiguo fiddled with the green plant and trimmed it.

This green plant is growing very well. I will shape it when it grows a little bigger.

Zhang Weiguo took the address given by Liu Wen.

Ride a motorcycle to find someone.

Came to the address above and found the bricklayer.

Zhang Weiguo talked about his needs.

"This is a huge project. I can't do it alone. It requires several people to work together."

Let’s not talk about the personnel issue for now, let’s go and take a look at the venue first.

After reading it, you will know what needs to be done and then find the number of people you need.

"That's fine too."

"I'll take you there on my bike."

Zhang Weiguo rode a motorcycle and took the bricklayer to the winery.

When we arrived at the old winery, the village chief and his family were cutting weeds.

Zhang Weiguo distributed cigarettes to the village chief and others.

Then, he led the bricklayers and said, "First, the courtyard wall. Make it higher."

"Secondly, these houses have not been used for a long time. Many places are broken and some are leaking."

"These houses all need to be renovated. If some of them are too badly damaged, they will be demolished directly."

"Also, this underground wine cellar needs to be taken care of."

“The cellar is still in very good condition.”

The bricklayer looked at these things and counted them.

"This will require at least twenty people to work together."

"No problem. How long will it take for twenty people to do it together?"

"It would take about a month for 20 people to work together."

"One month is fine, how much will it cost?"

"The material cost needs to be calculated."

"Then you should measure it slowly and calculate how much you need."

The bricklayer took out a ruler and started measuring.

This is a twenty-meter-long tape measure. Measure the courtyard wall first.

Measure everything and start calculating the materials needed.

Finally, including labor costs, the total cost is one thousand yuan.

It costs a lot of money to renovate this.

It only cost a thousand bucks to buy this place.

This renovation will cost another thousand dollars.

"Money is not a problem, you just have to get everything done."

Zhang Weiguo sent the bricklayer back and asked him to find someone else.

Gave the bricklayer five hundred dollars.

The remaining 500 yuan will be paid after the work is completed.

The bricklayer took the money and went to find someone.

This is a long-term job that needs to be done slowly.

Now that the winery is ready, should we get some equipment to brew our own wine?

This is possible.

Zhang Weiguo has no shortage of food, so much food can be used to make wine.

It just so happens that Dashan knows how to make wine.

Once the winery is ready, let him make wine.

As for raising pigs, just leave it to those two people.

Winemaking is not done for the purpose of selling it for money nowadays.

Trading is currently prohibited.

The main purpose is to collect wine, store it for a few years and then sell it.

If you want Fenjiu, you can buy more and store it.

There is no fake Fenjiu nowadays.

You can also buy some Moutai and Wuliangye and store them.

However, these wines must be well sealed to prevent them from evaporating.

Zhang Weiguo returned to the steel mill and drove the car out.

We arrived at a Fenjiu factory and asked to buy some wine.

"How much?"

"How much does a barrel of your wine weigh?"

"One barrel can hold 200 kilograms of liquor."

"Then give me ten buckets first."

Ten barrels equals 2,000 jin of liquor, and one jin of liquor costs one yuan, which equals 2,000 yuan.

It is quite troublesome to handle a 200-jin wine barrel.

For fear that it might get damaged, it would require four people to lift it.

All ten barrels of wine were placed in the car.

Zhang Weiguo paid the money and drove away.

I bought so much wine at once.

This is a small factory with limited wine production capacity, and only big customers would buy 2,000 kilograms at a time.

The winery isn't ready yet, so the wine can't be stored there.

Now the wine will have to be stored somewhere else.

Zhang Weiguo drove to No. 1 Siheyuan.

With enough space, it was easy for Zhang Weiguo to move the wine barrels and he put them all into the space.

We came to an empty house and took out all the wine barrels.

Let's put the wine here for a while and move it over there after it's repaired.

Zhang Weiguo still has a lot of tiger bones, and he will put them into the wine when it is brewed.

The bricklayers found people quickly. They didn't have much work recently, but now there was a big job, and they were all willing to do it.

During the busy period before, when it rained heavily, many houses were damaged.

They are the busiest time.
