Chapter 209: Surprises
Qin Qing and others stayed at the Bai family that night. The next day, Tang Tianqiao left early in the morning, saying that he was going to find his brothers in Shancheng to do some work.
"White Rice, if my uncle doesn't find anyone today, please help me find some help in the mountain city."
Tang Tianqiao said he could find someone, but Qin Qing still felt it was a bit uncertain.
After he stepped out of the Bai family's door, she gave Bai Mifan a reminder, and Bai Mifan immediately agreed.
"Sister Qing, if that doesn't work, Lei Zi and I can do it."
Qin Qing smiled and thought, three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang. If there is really no one to use them, these three cobblers are just right.
What surprised Qin Qing was that Tang Tianqiao came back at noon, and behind him were two tanned men, one tall and one short.
"Qing'er, these are two brothers, Bamboo Pole and Potato."
The two men smiled at Qin Qing innocently. There was really no sense of incongruity in using this nickname on the two of them.
"They used to be bricklayers, so they can do renovations too."
Tang Tianqiao was also looking for professional talents. In this day and age, decorating a house is not that complicated. At most, it is just painting the walls white and laying some tiles. Tang Tianqiao was familiar with this kind of work before, and he was confident that he could do it with these two people.
"Uncle, let me tell you this beforehand. This renovation isn't just about painting the walls. Everything has to be done according to my standards. No mistakes can be made. If something goes wrong..."
Before Qin Qing could finish her words, Tang Tianqiao came to her rescue.
"Then come to me! I'll pay you whatever the price!"
Qin Qing was left in a state of confusion by Tang Tianqiao. She couldn't really ask Tang Tianqiao to pay her compensation, so she just wanted to give him a warning.
Qin Qing immediately took the blueprint and began explaining to Tang Tianqiao which parts of the design needed carpentry, how the wiring should be done, where the lights should be installed, and every detail. Tang Tianqiao also took out a small notebook and wrote down everything Qin Qing said.
What surprised Qin Qing was that although Tang Tianqiao looked big and strong, his handwriting was very neat.
It took me two or three hours to finish explaining the first draft of the design.
"Uncle, we don't have much money right now, so just do as I say. I guess we'll have to invest more money later to achieve these design effects."
Tang Tianqiao also calculated everything Qin Qing said.
"I can do all the carpentry you mentioned! Let's just buy the lumber and do it ourselves. That way, we can save a lot of money."
No matter what, the money was paid by Qin Qing. In the final analysis, it was his family's money, so Tang Tianqiao naturally wanted to save as much as possible.
"Then we'll just follow the blueprints. We can buy better wood. There's no need to skimp on the money."
Qin Qing has already started calculating the amount. Fortunately, she went to Guangzhou this time and earned some extra money, so she has some spare money for the renovation. Otherwise, she would have to postpone it again.
Furthermore, she and Bai Mifan had to be busy during this period, as they had to sell all the goods they had brought back from Guangzhou. Fortunately, Qian Dafa had followed the same rules as before for the jeans and bell-bottoms, picking up the goods first and paying later. As long as she could sell all the goods, she would save more money.
Qin Qing first took out two thousand yuan and handed it to Tang Tianqiao.
"Uncle, I'll give you two thousand for renovations. Use it to buy things first. If it's not enough, tell me. But you have to keep track of all the accounts. You have to show them to Bai Fan Mi."
If it was just her own store, there would be no need to calculate it so clearly.
But the decoration fee and rice also need to be paid, so the accounts must be calculated clearly and there must be no mistakes.
"Don't worry, if you don't have enough money, I'll cover it first. You forgot, I made a lot of money!"
Thinking of the 800 yuan he earned in Yangcheng, Tang Tianqiao was overjoyed. Anyway, it was enough to cover his elder brother's medical expenses, and he could also help Qin Qing with some of the extra money.
"That's definitely not necessary. Second uncle, just take your money."
Qin Qing quickly made arrangements, "Second Uncle, we all have to go back to Zizhou. Someone has to pick up the goods tomorrow. Bai Fanmi and I both have to go back, so I have to hand over the renovations here to you. Is that okay?"
"No problem! Don't worry, I'll make sure you look beautiful."
Tang Tianqiao patted his chest and promised Qin Qing, but he immediately said, "But you have to help me pay for my brother's medical expenses."
Tang Tianqiao took out three hundred yuan and gave it to Qin Qing.
"Two hundred dollars for big brother's medical expenses, and one hundred dollars for Zhiqiang. He's the one who takes care of big brother, and that kid... is pretty obedient."
Thinking of Tang Zhiqiang, Qin Qing was also a little surprised. She really didn't expect that when everyone gave up on Tang Tiansheng, only her cousin who looked cowardly and incompetent stayed by Tang Tianqiao's bedside to take care of him.
"Uncle, I will give it to you."
Qin Qing was not polite, nor did she pretend to be generous.
The money for the eldest uncle's medical treatment should have been borne by the Tang family themselves. She had already helped once, so it was impossible for her to help a second time. The second uncle had this intention, and that was his own choice. She only needed to help convey his thoughts.
After explaining everything to Tang Tianqiao, Qin Qing and Bai Mifan and the others rushed to Zizhou City, carrying ten bags of goods. By the time they arrived in the county town, it was already dark.
Qin Qing didn't return to Dagang Village. She and Tang Min stayed at the county guesthouse. The next morning, they rushed to Gulouba Square. During the New Year's Goods Festival, Qin Qing had agreed with all the guests that the delivery location would still be the New Year's Goods Market.
The New Year's Market was closed for renovations, but Qin Qing didn't mind and set up her stall right in front of the market. She and Bai Mianfan skillfully hung clothes on hangers. Soon, they saw Ma Fangfang and Qin Changcheng rushing over with a group of people, carrying mops.
"Qin Qing, we're not too late, are we?"
Ma Fangfang wiped the sweat off her face, her face flushed. Qin Qing glanced at Qin Changcheng, who also looked very happy. She smiled and said.
"Brother Changcheng, is the mop factory deal settled?"
"Hey, how do you know?" Qin Changcheng asked honestly, and his words were equivalent to revealing the whole story.
Ma Fangfang reached out and slapped Qin Changcheng. "Why are you so talkative? Didn't you say you wanted to give Qin Qing a surprise?"
"hey-hey……"
Qin Changcheng scratched his head embarrassedly, but Qin Qing didn't care. Knowing that the mop factory was finally settled, she felt relieved.
"Sister-in-law, what did the inspection team say?"
Ma Fangfang's face lit up at the mention of this. "They came to our village, initially unhappy. They complained about the poor conditions and the inadequacy of the facilities. But... when they saw the magic mop we made with their own eyes, it was... a done deal!"
"Ah?" Qin Qing really didn't expect that in the end the inspection team would still be dealt with by the magic mop.
"Qin Qing, our village will soon be able to open a Hedong mop factory!"
Ma Fangfang excitedly pulled Qin Qing's hand, with a sparkling light in her eyes.
"Did they say when we can get the qualification approved?"
"One week! Just one week! From now on, we'll be a real factory product, the Hedong Mop Factory!"
