Chapter 76 Reborn Parents
Chapter 76 Reborn Parents
The air conditioner was whirring as Jiang Ning lay on the sofa, flipping through his phone.
Feng Yu sat at one end, holding his legs and studying him.
After studying it for a while, she asked Jiang Ning to stretch out his arm for her to see.
Jiang Ning stretched out his arm.
Feng Yu compared them and said, "Have you noticed that the bullet marks on your body are not as obvious as before?"
Jiang Ning nodded, of course he knew.
The transformation of the body by the Five Elements Origin is not radical, but a gradual process. The bullet marks on the arm are now only a shallow mark, and it is estimated that it will no longer be visible in a few months.
Feng Yuke didn't know this. He was just happy to find that the bullet marks on his body were not as obvious as before. He didn't think there was anything strange about it. He thought it was just like accidentally cutting his finger while cutting vegetables. At most it would leave a mark which would disappear after a while.
"It would be best if these bullet marks disappeared."
Feng Yu said happily: "Otherwise, I see that you dare not wear short sleeves in such hot weather, and can only wear long sleeves. Others are wearing slippers and shorts, but you have to wear long pants. It feels a bit out of place."
Jiang Ning put down his phone and said, "That's why I built a swimming pool in the villa on the farm. Sometimes when I want to go swimming, I don't dare to take off my pants. The farm doesn't have this worry. After a few days when the workers leave, we can go to the villa, close the door and go swimming."
Feng Yu was surprised: "Can you swim?"
Jiang Ning was a little proud: "Of course, I'm going to sign up for the sports meet. Winning the swimming championship is a piece of cake. Those swimmers are all noobs. Even if they can swim half the distance, they'll be noobs."
Feng Yu smiled and patted his leg: "Can you please stop bragging!"
Jiang Ning won’t say anything, otherwise there’s no way to make it work.
But after not going into the water for more than half a year, I am indeed a little itchy.
After the workers in the villa leave, I really have to fill that big swimming pool with water to experience it myself.
Feng Yu studied his legs for a while and asked, "Do we still have to visit relatives before we get married?"
Jiang Ning didn't take it too seriously and said, "It seems like I have to go. Before getting married, I have to go through all the important relatives' houses. Otherwise, if I don't know which direction the doors of my relatives' houses face after getting married, it would be a joke. But I can take this opportunity to collect some red envelopes."
Feng Yu had a headache: "I don't have many relatives, but you have too many relatives."
Jiang Ning said, "When I go to heaven, I will curse my grandparents. It's their fault for giving birth to so many children."
Feng Yu burst out laughing instantly. This guy is so funny.
Although he doesn't understand romance, he can still make people laugh from time to time.
After a few words, WeChat suddenly received a new message.
Feng Yu took a look and was quite surprised. He showed it to Jiang Ning: "Take a look."
Jiang Ning took the phone and glanced at it. He was also surprised. It was from Sun Mei, asking Feng Yu for the ingredients and detailed process of Feng Xue's stir-fried rabbit and lamb. He said, "Jiang Lao Er is really good at taking advantage of opportunities!"
Feng Yu asked, "Do you want to give it to me?"
Jiang Ning said, "You decide. We don't plan to open a restaurant anyway, so it's okay to give it to him. After all, even if you teach me step by step, I may not be able to learn all the skills. Didn't my mom also learn to make stir-fried rabbit? But she's still not as good as my sister's."
Feng Yu nodded: "Then give it to her. It's not a secret recipe. Ask me to write it down for him later."
Jiang Ning felt it was not very reliable. His mother had asked Feng Xue to teach her personally, and the rabbits she made were different from those made by Feng Xue. It was just like making noodles. The noodles made by teaching others how to make step by step would definitely be different from the ones made by yourself.
People who don’t eat noodles often won’t feel it.
Anyone with a good taste can taste the difference.
If you use different strength and time when kneading the dough, the final noodles will have different tastes.
Time can be controlled, but how can the strength in the hands be consistent?
The noodles made by the same person twice will be different.
Not to mention two people.
The principles of cooking are basically the same, and the process can be learned.
But some things that can only be understood by yourself are difficult for others to learn.
Jiang Wei wanted to make stir-fried rabbit according to the recipe. Jiang Ning felt that this was no different from those idiots in elementary school who had no master to teach them and just practiced blindly according to a secret book. The end result would be either disordered meridians or obsession.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Feng Yu returned home.
I told Feng Xue about Sun Mei asking for the recipe.
Feng Xue was a little surprised, but he still wrote it down.
This thing was something she figured out after cooking for a long time. There was no recipe. She scratched her head for a long time and spent half an hour writing out a process. She only gave a rough idea of what ingredients to use and how much to use.
After all, she hasn't weighed herself yet!
The process is very clear, which medicine to put first and which medicine to put later.
It’s all written clearly.
I can’t write about the cooking temperature or anything like that, I can only write down some of my thoughts.
This thing can't be quantified, it's all experience.
After writing it, he showed it to Feng Yu, who then sent it to Sun Mei.
Jiang Wei got the recipe and went to the farm again the next day.
I bought ten rabbits and a sheep and asked the chef to try cooking them.
Then continue to let family members serve as food tasters.
Jiang Ning didn't come because he was busy.
After waiting for more than a month, the Forestry Bureau finally transferred the first payment.
Director Cao personally went to the farm and urged him to start planting trees as soon as possible.
This shows how great the pressure is during this period.
The first payment was three million, and I don’t know where it came from.
Jiang Ning didn't ask any more questions. Since the money had been received, he just got to work.
I called two tree-planting contractors, but they were out of town.
Boss Li can be said to be very successful this year. He was originally just an employee, working with a few people. However, because he was destined to be rich, Jiang Ning took a liking to him and gave him some work to do. This is how he turned from a loach into a dragon and earned his first pot of gold.
He drove a Land Cruiser and became known as Mr. Li among the villagers.
But there isn't much work for Jiang Ning here.
Apart from planting trees, he has no other job to do.
My uncle Zhang Yuedong basically took care of everything.
After planting the thorny roses in June, I have had nothing to do.
But the car needs maintenance and gas, and the family needs to eat. How can you not work hard to make money?
I have met many construction bosses in the past six months. I heard that there was a earthwork project in the neighboring city, so we went over to take a look. It was a six million project, which was not a small job. The only problem was that the price was too low and there was not much profit.
These days, work is hard and money is hard to earn.
For a project like this that has been subcontracted dozens of times, after all the layers of profit have been peeled off, the profit left for the person who finally does the work is pitifully small. You have to calculate very carefully to make a profit. If you don't control the costs well, you will lose money.
Not only is the profit low, but there is no advance payment yet.
Even if payments are made according to progress, advance payment is still required.
Boss Li didn't really want to do it, but there was really no work to do.
You can only talk to Party A.
After much discussion, they still couldn't come to an agreement. Boss Li agreed to advance the money, and if that didn't work out, they could just take out a loan. Who wouldn't take out a loan when doing a project these days? The problem was that progress payment was only a verbal agreement and it wasn't written in the contract.
How the hell is this happening?
In this age of lack of integrity, contracts are just pieces of waste paper.
Not to mention a verbal agreement, that's no different from farting.
This time we came to talk again, and the negotiation lasted for more than a month.
Seeing that the project was about to start, Party A finally gave in and agreed to include progress-based funding in the contract.
Boss Li finally breathed a sigh of relief and signed the contract today.
Once you sign the contract, you have to do it no matter what the outcome is.
But I can't help but worry that I won't be able to get the money.
No matter how difficult the project is, the contractor can overcome it.
But the difficulty of asking for money after finishing the work can really drive people to despair.
There are too many such examples.
There is no way out, so we have to go ahead with it.
Boss Li changed his mind and was about to pick up a pen to sign the contract.
Suddenly my cell phone rang, so I went outside to answer it.
After answering the phone, his original sad expression disappeared, and he became very energetic. He came back and said to his partner Boss Zhao: "Old Zhao, I quit. There is a good job in my hometown. Find someone else to work with me!"
Boss Zhao immediately lost his composure: "Fuck, you stood me up."
Boss Li didn't care: "I'll give you a drink to apologize later, or you can beat me up, but I won't do this job anymore."
Boss Zhao was almost mad, but he was also very curious: "What good jobs are there in your hometown?"
Boss Li said excitedly, "Planting trees is a job worth more than a million yuan."
Boss Zhao sneered: "It's just a small job worth a million. I thought you got a project worth tens of millions!"
Boss Li said, "You know shit. Although the job is small, it's a one-time job, not one that has been passed on dozens of times. Although the profit is not high, it is a stable profit of tens of thousands of yuan, and you can get the money after the job is done. This project is worth six million yuan, but whether you can make money after the job is done is not to mention whether you can make money. It's probably hard to ask for money. Why should I take risks when there is a guaranteed profit?"
Boss Zhao was also tempted: "Is there such a good thing? Please ask for me too."
Boss Li said, "What are you asking? It's just a small job. I don't even have enough money to do it. There's no way you can get a share. Bye."
After saying that, he drove away in a hurry in his Land Cruiser.
Boss Zhao was so angry that he wanted to curse, but he didn't know who to curse.
Boss Li rushed back to Bei'an without even going home.
I went to the farm to meet him as soon as possible.
In his heart, Boss Jiang is more noble than the emperor.
No matter how noble the emperor is, it has nothing to do with him. Boss Jiang is his adoptive parent.
If Jiang Ning hadn't helped him, he would probably still be carrying bricks on the construction site!
Aren’t they just reborn parents?
Jiang Ning was talking to someone from Lintou when another worker from Baotou named Wang, who was planting trees, also arrived.
I was originally happy when I heard that Boss Li went to another place to contract a project.
Since Lao Li is not here, it would be great if he could do this job all by himself.
So when he saw Boss Li come in, his face fell.
Didn’t this bastard go to another place to contract a project? Why did he come back?
Jiang Ning did not expect that Boss Li would come back so soon. He called more than two hours ago. The neighboring city was not close, more than 200 kilometers away. He came back so quickly. He probably ran back after answering his call.
And most of them probably didn't go home.
Jiang Ning asked, "How did you negotiate the project in the neighboring city?"
Boss Li said quickly, "We were ready to sign the contract, but I ran away after receiving the call. That job is too risky. It has been subcontracted to many people, and the price is too low. If it is not done well, I will lose money. And it will be troublesome to ask for money after the job is done. If there is work for Mr. Jiang, I will definitely do Mr. Jiang's work, even if I don't make money, I will work for Mr. Jiang!"
The corners of Jiang Ning's mouth twitched. This guy has learned bad things.
He tells lies without blinking.
Who the hell is willing to do a job that doesn't make money...
Jiang Ning didn't ask any more questions and said, "That's perfect. You two can take half each. Sit down and listen!"
Boss Li agreed and quickly found his seat to sit down.
Listen to the discussion between Jiang Ning and Lintou’s people.
It didn’t take long, only about ten minutes.
We have finished discussing what needs to be discussed.
Everybody got up and went to Daxikou to see the scene.
Arrived downstairs.
Jiang Ning didn't want to drive himself today, so he called Boss Li: "I won't drive anymore, I'll take your car today."
Boss Li was overjoyed and ran over to open the car door.
Boss Wang was envious and jealous. As soon as this bastard came back, all the good things were taken away.
