Chapter 83 Drilling a Well, Wang Jiangui and Building a Restaurant
Meng Lingshi remained silent for a while when faced with Lu Sheng's question.
She really wanted to say no.
But under Lu Sheng's expectant gaze, she still sighed softly before speaking:
"meeting."
"That's great. I really don't know what I would do without you."
Lu Sheng clapped his hands, very happy.
There is still a lot of buildable area left in the camp, and digging another well shouldn't be a problem.
In fact, this matter was already part of Lu Sheng's construction plan.
One well is not enough to transition to the next stage.
In Lu Sheng's mind, the next phase of the camp is the service area.
After the service area is completed, it will be expanded extensively from the ruins to restart the train station and build a transportation hub.
The final phase involves restoring the facilities surrounding the train station and completing the reconstruction of the entire ruins.
At this stage of camp construction, one well is far from enough, even without considering the construction of a bathhouse.
It's not just the camp staff who need water; the guests at the container hotel and the merchants who have moved in also need it.
One well is sufficient to supply the camp's personnel, but it is somewhat inadequate for building a fully functional camp.
"The creature with the lucky charm is equipped with a device that can locate well sites. It has mentioned that there are water-rich layers in this area."
Finding a suitable location for drilling a well shouldn't be a problem.
Meng Lingshi gave Lu Sheng an OK sign and turned to walk towards the folding house.
Lu Sheng then walked toward Wei Fa, who was preparing to leave.
"Ah Fa, I need to buy some more scrap steel."
He transferred money to Wei Fa as he spoke.
"Okay... Wow!"
Wei Fa felt the vibration of the terminal bracelet, opened it, and saw an unexpected transfer amount.
"The quantity available for purchase is three times that of today's batch."
"The camp consumes far more building materials than you think; what you delivered today has already been used up."
Lu Sheng pointed to the spot where the scrap steel had just been piled up, and Wei Fa glanced at it from the side.
"Brother Lu, you are the builder I have ever seen who consumes the most building materials."
"Not the best craftsman?"
"And also the best craftsmanship."
Wei Fa took a deep breath:
"You can confidently entrust this task to me; you won't be disappointed. Feel free to contact me if you need anything else."
"If you want more business, you can go to Jiang Shutong; you know her."
Lu Sheng gestured for him to proceed.
"The camp is in a phase of rapid development, and we need suppliers who are fast and have a stable supply."
Wei laughed:
"As a deliveryman in this area, no one knows this information better than me. If you can really build a large residential area, I will definitely buy a house here."
"Okay, I'll save you a good spot."
The two waved goodbye, and as Wei Fa's truck left the camp, a car that Lu Sheng recognized drove in.
"Stationmaster, I'm back!"
When the car owner got out of the car and called out to Lu Sheng, Lu Sheng remembered who this person was.
The first guest at the camp was Wang Jian.
Wang Jian looked very well at this moment, and his steps were quick and steady, almost as if he wanted to jump up.
"What good thing happened that makes you so happy?"
"I've finished all the preparations!"
Wang Jian approached Lu Sheng and excitedly reported to him:
"I've got all the kitchen equipment and ingredients sorted out, boss. Where's my shop?"
Lu Sheng turned around and pointed to the abandoned commercial street, where Liang Shan's team used to live.
"Okay, I'll move the things inside right away."
Seeing Lu Sheng keep his promise, Wang Jian's slight unease vanished without a trace.
Only then did he have the opportunity to take a look at the camp.
The changes are enormous compared to when I left.
The container hotel was completed as a large building, with two additional smaller buildings constructed.
Looking at the power lines running along the inside of the perimeter wall, you can tell that the camp's power problem has been completely solved.
What surprised him most was the wall; compared to the wall when he arrived, the current wall looked like a complete reconstruction.
Just by looking at it, you can feel its solidity and weight, and you can naturally understand its indestructible defensive capabilities.
Only a builder could make so many changes in the four days I was away.
"Stop looking. Once you open your shop, you'll see even more changes."
Noticing Wang Jian staring intently at the changes in the camp, Lu Sheng patted him on the shoulder:
What you see now is just the beginning of a city.
"Then I think I have the opportunity to become a veteran of a city."
Wang Jian turned around and smiled gently at Lu Sheng.
After a while, he stopped laughing.
"Station manager, are you sure this is the right place?"
Lu Sheng led Wang Jian to the shop he had arranged for him. Until then, Wang Jian was still full of anticipation. But when he pushed open the door, a strong, sour smell wafted out.
It's the scent left behind by Liang Shan's team here.
For migrants, this is the taste of life, but for Wang Jian, who was born and raised in the city, it is the smell of a garbage dump.
"The flavor is a bit too strong."
Lu Sheng also covered his mouth and nose. In fact, he hadn't been here since Liang Shan and his people moved out.
It's not that he doesn't care, but rather that it's meaningless to him.
All traces of the past can be erased during the upgrade.
"But don't worry, once you've moved your things in, I'll remodel this place again."
"Can I reconstruct it using your amazing methods, Station Master Lu, before I move it?"
Lu Sheng took a few steps back and left the house. He felt that being too accommodating to others was not a good thing, but he thought it would be better to agree to Wang Jian's request this time.
After all, they were in the wrong this time.
"A two-story shop, consuming 1 unit of steel and 2 units of wood, can be renovated and remodeled towards the kitchen according to your wishes."
Soon, Lu Sheng brought over the materials.
"The two-story shop will be upgraded to a restaurant, with a dining area, front desk, and kitchen, and ventilation ducts and cooking counters will be provided. Please select the enhanced keywords:"
1. Two-story kitchen: The first floor will be used as a dining area, and the second floor will be converted into a kitchen, with equipment installed for transporting food.
2. Two-story restaurant: The second floor will also be converted into a restaurant to increase the maximum number of diners.
3. Fully Furnished: The restaurant will be fully renovated according to the existing conditions, transforming it into a ready-to-use establishment.
After reading the upgrade description, Lu Sheng briefly explained his choices to Wang Jian and asked him which one he preferred.
Wang Jian was already standing several meters away from Lu Sheng. After hearing Lu Sheng's words, he held up the number two.
"I'll convert both floors into a restaurant, and I'll handle the rest of the decor myself; I have my own style."
Moreover, this is my first store, and I want it to have more of my own style; otherwise, it will just feel like I've taken over someone else's existing store.
