Start with three days of hunger and nine meals, and become rich and tempting

After some pleasantries, the patriarch went straight to the point.

"My dear girl, you have good vision and you often go out. Do you think our Liu family has a chance of winning this time?"

Liu Siyu nodded.

"Of course, that's why I came here today."

There was a hint of a smile on the patriarch's old face.

"Then who do you think is more suitable?"

Liu Siyu already had the answer in her mind, but she still said it politely.

"I think the clan leader grandpa is the most suitable."

The old patriarch was smiling from ear to ear. He had coveted the position of village chief, but that was when he was young.

Now that he is an old man, he naturally won't fight over these things.

"I'm old, and I don't have many years left to live. I'd better leave these worries to the young people!"

Seeing that he really had lost his desire to win, Liu Siyu started talking about business.

"Grandpa, you are highly respected in the village. You have watched these younger generations grow up. You must have a good idea of ​​who is more suitable."

The patriarch enjoyed the compliment very much.

He also knew that this was just Liu Siyu's polite words. Human nature is selfish. Who wouldn't consider their own family more?

So he wanted to find out Liu Siyu's background.

"My eldest son is gone, my youngest son is a blockhead who only knows how to work, and among my grandchildren, my third son is the smartest."

Liu Siyu frowned slightly. It seemed that the old patriarch still placed his hopes on his eldest grandson.

Although Liu Laosan has a bit of temper, he is not smooth and sophisticated enough, and is somewhat stubborn. Most importantly, he has no long-term vision.

She wants to develop in the village in the future, and often she will need the village chief to step in, so Liu Siyu hopes to choose someone who can understand things quickly.

Of course, this person cannot be as petty as Zhou Paopi.

In order to make the road ahead smoother, Liu Siyu smiled faintly.

"Third brother is indeed a capable person. He is more than qualified to be a village chief."

As he spoke, the conversation changed.

"But in my opinion, it's a waste of talent for Third Brother to be the village chief with his ability. I do have a good idea, but I wonder if Third Brother is willing to do it?"

The clan leader's eyes lit up. Liu Siyu was a person with vision. If she said it was a good way out, it must be not bad.

Immediately said: "Tell me about it."

Liu Siyu briefly told the story of modern contractors who build houses for private households.

"My clan grandfather thinks this method is feasible. My third brother is a bricklayer, and his skills are quite good among his peers. If we can organize such a group of people in the village, not only can we make money ourselves, but we can also drive the entire Liu clan."

The clan leader's eyes lit up when he heard this. If such a team was formed, it would be better for motivating the Liu clan than being the village chief.

But he was also a little worried because he had never heard of such a thing before.

I don’t know if it can be implemented?

"It's a good path, but where can he get such a job?"

Liu Siyu smiled sweetly.

"You don't have to worry about that, Grandpa. Once his construction team is established, I will place the first order for him."

"Besides, the village will definitely get better and better in the future, and more and more people will build houses. Third Brother's construction team will start from our Yingshan Village. Once we have a good reputation, we will naturally have no worries about not getting work in the future."

The patriarch listened to Liu Siyu's big promise, and a smile spread across his old face.

He said to his great-grandson outside the door, "Shitou, go and call your uncle."

Xiao Shitou responded and hurried to Liu Laosan's house.

When Liu Laosan heard about Liu Siyu's pancake, he immediately jumped up excitedly.

After being happy for a while, he became hesitant and said stutteringly: "I...I...can I do it?"

Liu Siyu gave Liu Laosan an affirmative look.

"Third brother, I believe in you. You have good relationships with craftsmen, but if you want to form a team like this, you are still short of two generals."

Liu Laosan blinked.

"General?"

"Well," Liu Siyu began to explain in detail.

"If you want to take on a project, you must first know how many major and minor workers a house requires and how many days it will take to complete. Only then can you negotiate the price with the owner."

"First, we need to find someone who can write and do math, and also someone who can draw simple blueprints."

Liu Laosan sat down in embarrassment.

"Where can I find this?"

The patriarch rolled his eyes and pointed at a small stone at the door who was scribbling on the ground with a branch.

"Look at your little nephew. He has no other skills. He just likes to draw on the ground."

Liu Siyu looked carefully at what Shi Tou had drawn on the ground. It looked a bit like a map of the village.

But there is no marking, and if you don't look carefully, you really can't see it.

But this is enough to make Liu Siyu admire him.

Little Shitou was only about 10 years old and no one had ever taught him how to draw, but he was able to simply draw the route of the village just out of his passion.

I sincerely give a thumbs up to Xiao Shitou.

"You're awesome, why did you draw these?"

Little Stone raised his innocent face.

"like."

The word "like" made Liu Siyu happy. Since the child liked it, maybe it was fate.

“Can you draw a house?”

Little Stone nodded, picked up the branch, and soon drew his yard and several mud-brick houses in a crooked manner.

Liu Siyu patted his shoulder.

"Very good. Follow your uncle and work hard in the future."

Through building the workshop, Liu Siyu also discovered that most people here do not use blueprints when building houses.

Based on experience, you can build a general farmyard.

Liu Laosan was helpless when it came to a big project like building a workshop.

The appearance of the little stone just makes up for this.

"Third brother, you are so lucky. When you feel sleepy, someone gives you a pillow. From now on, take Xiao Shitou with you. Let him draw the picture before building a house. You two can try to get used to each other. Maybe in the future, you will have to listen to Xiao Shitou when building a house."

"As for people who can write and do math and are worthy of your trust, you have to slowly discover them."

After hearing this, Liu Laosan began to think about Liu Siyu.

When the clan leader saw that Liu Laosan had already arrived, a smile appeared on his weathered old face.

Only Little Stone didn't understand what this meant to him.

He was just happy to see that Liu Siyu liked his paintings.

The clan leader and Liu Laosan thanked Liu Siyu.

Liu Siyu hurriedly stopped him.

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. I just pointed out the direction. The specific operations are up to you."

"Besides, I need your help with something."

Liu Laosan immediately patted his chest.

"Just tell me what it is. As long as I, Liu Lao San, can help, I will never back down."

The patriarch also nodded.

"I can still have a say in village affairs."

Liu Siyu was no longer polite.

"There are two things. The first is the election of the village chief. I already have a candidate in mind. Once it is decided, I hope you will give your strong support."
