Leisurely Daily [System]

Mr. Liu knew that Jiang Fan wanted to build a manor in the style of a Suzhou garden, so he asked Jiang Fan if he wanted to build a better one or a similar one. Jiang Fan asked about the difference.

Mr. Liu said that if the land with a little more than 4000 mu is just a little more interesting, it can be completed for three to four thousand taels; .

Jiang Fan squeezed his pocketbook. Before selling the constant temperature tree, he got a profit of 2 taels. In the past few months, Jiaoyan Pavilion has made money one after another. Before placing the order, the current cash in his hand has exceeded 3 taels, and the silver is not bad if it is built in a good way.

Before the house is built, Jiang Fan's money will only increase.

Jiang Fan said that as long as it does not violate the system, just make it in a good way, and the money should not exceed 5 taels.

Mr. Liu was not surprised, but just nodded, "Well, this old man knows it in his heart."

Afterwards, they went back to the house for dinner, and of course Guan Xiujin followed him.

Gu Fangqiu and Gu Yuantao often lived in the town, and two rooms were vacated. Uncle Zhang cleaned up, one room was for Mr. Liu, and the other room was for the servants he brought.

As a construction engineer, Mr. Liu has rich experience in both architectural design and construction.After he moved in, he went to the land to look at it from time to time, and then went back to the room to write and draw on the drawing paper, and occasionally let Jiang Fan take a look, mention his own ideas, and list all kinds of materials needed during the period. Give it to Jiang Fan so that he can start buying.

Before buying materials, Jiang Fan planned to do it himself, such as asking Zhang Shumo and Gu Changqing to buy it, but Mr. Liu was introduced by Guan Xiujin. Although Jiang Fan still has some doubts about Guan Xiujin in some aspects, he is building a house. In this regard, it is surprisingly trustworthy.Guan Xiujin saw that it was not easy. With him, Jiang Fan also believed that Mr. Liu would not dare to play tricks, so he directly contracted out all the matters and handed them over to Mr. Liu. He only took the money and supervised the quality of the materials by the way.

About half a month later, when Jiang Fan added some ideas from time to time, Old Liu showed the completed blueprint to Jiang Fan.

On the drawings, the gate is in the middle, and the first entrance across the courtyard is the main hall for guests.Behind the main hall is a pond, with a stone bridge on the left side of the pool, a green path interspersed with jagged rockery, towering trees next to it, and a small pavilion at the corner for two or three sittings; on the right side of the main hall, a courtyard wall is interspersed. There are several hand-painted verandahs across the water, one of which leads to the courtyard for visitors to play, and there is also a view everywhere. There is also a living room inside, which is a two-story pavilion. According to Jiang Fan's suggestion, there is a two-story pavilion in the far right corner. The pavilion has windows on all sides.One side is facing the west mountain, and you can watch the mountain and listen to the rain when you sit in the pavilion.

From the drawings, it can be clearly seen that Mr. Liu divided the manor into two with a pool, and walked along several verandas through the pool to enter the backyard.In addition to a living room and a small garden in the backyard, there are five independent courtyards arranged in a staggered manner, separated by courtyard walls, and connected by verandas, pools and stone bridges between the five courtyards. interfere with their personal space.And along a courtyard door, you can also enter the front garden.

Jiang Fan expressed his satisfaction with this design drawing, "It's hard work, old Liu."

Mr. Liu stroked his beard. He had worked in the Ministry of Industry for decades. He had built many royal courtyards. If he couldn't manage a country manor, he would have lived such a long life in vain.

Mr. Liu nodded indifferently, "Jiang Langjun, I sniffed the honey water you drank yesterday, why does it seem to be different from the one you gave me before?"

After the red jade fruit flowers faded, Uncle Zhang took another honey. Jiang Fan tasted better than Xueyanghua, so he made a cup last night.The old man had just begged him for a jar of Xueyanghua nectar a few days ago, but he didn't expect that he was carrying water to chat with the old man last night, and he could be smelled across the table.

Jiang Fan laughed, "Old Liu Minmin, what I drank yesterday was indeed another kind of nectar, and I'll give you a jar later."

Mr. Liu nodded in satisfaction, and walked out leisurely with his hands behind his back.

After a few more days, the three hilltops were finally sorted out.

The people in the village have worked hard for two months and earned a lot of money. Besides Zhao San’s family, all of them have planted an acre of Xueyanghua. They should not worry about spending money in the future, but now that they have lost their jobs, they feel better instantly. Lost, still a little panic in my heart, I don't know when I will be able to earn so much money again.

Those who are clever have long been looking for jobs with Jiang Fan, so some people, after the end of this job, only rested for one day, and then happily went back to work, arranging the trees cut from the mountain , Take the tools up the mountain, and build handrails on both sides of all the mountain roads.

Those who watched it a step late were envious.

During this period, Xueyanghua was harvested again. During this month, the acre of Xueyanghua planted by the villagers was finally planted with flower seedlings after this harvest.It just so happened that most of the villagers had just finished their work on the hillside, and the field had not yet started to be busy, so taking advantage of this time, Jiang Fan asked them to cut bamboo and set up flower stands between the flower seedlings. It's time to get all down on the ground.

Before, people in the village were all busy on the top of the mountain. In the past two months, there seemed to be no one in the village during the daytime. Now that they are so busy, they are directly busy with the autumn harvest in the fields, which is a scene of enthusiasm.

The several acres of rice in Jiang Fan's family were hired by temporary workers to help harvest. Except for paying taxes, most of the rice left by other families in the village had to be sold, and only a small part was left to eat for himself. He didn't think so. He deliberately left an acre of rice field without nutrients. The harvest of this land was used to pay taxes, and the rest was stored for his own consumption. The taste must be much better than ordinary rice.

When the rice in the fields was almost harvested, the fruits in the Shatian and corn fields finally ripened.

There were tables and reclining chairs under the eaves, and Guan Xiujin half-lyed on one of them, holding a cup of red jade fruit nectar in his hand, and looked sideways at Jiang Fan in the Shatian next to him.It has been almost two months since he returned to Lishan Village again. At that time, the little fat man felt that he had lost a lot of weight. After practicing Kung Fu with Feng San for more than a month, he could actually see the thin outline of his body now.

Such a conspicuous change has become inconspicuous because of the long-term relationship. Guan Xiujin didn't notice it until he saw the other party's slender wrist holding the bamboo basket just now.

In Shatian, Jiang Fan cut a few red jade fruits from the red jade fruit tree with scissors, put them in a basket, washed them by the well, put them on a plate, cut off the top cover with a knife, put two spoons in, He took one first, then raised his chin and signaled Guan Xiujin, "Try it."

Jiang Fan first took a large spoonful and ate it into his mouth. The familiar and long-lost taste spread in his mouth. It was so delicious that Jiang Fan wanted to cry.

Guan Xiujin followed his example, dug a spoonful and tasted it.

Jiang Fan asked, "Is it delicious?"

Guan Xiujin: "It's delicious."

Jiang Fan finished one in a few strokes, took another from the plate, and said, "You can pick the one hundred catties you promised earlier."

"can."

The red jade fruit is already ripe, and it can hang on the branches. In April next year, plant the fire honey fruit in November, and leave a distance between them, so Jiang Fan can plant the fire honey fruit without pulling out the red jade fruit tree. During this period, Jiang Fan can pick the fruits while eating, and let the fruits hang on the tree all the time.

The next day, Guan Xiujin came over early in the morning. The four brothers of the Feng family who were following behind him each carried a backpack with scissors in it. The four brothers went to work in the fields. Uncle Zhang watched them and would weigh Guozi later. Chong, Jiang Fanze and Zhang Shumo went to the corn field to collect purple fragrant fruit with a cart and bamboo baskets.

As soon as Jiang Fan moved his legs, Guan Xiujin and the smiling Ah Ban followed.

"Why are you two following up?" Jiang Fan said.

Guan Xiujin said, "I'll take a look with you."

Jiang Fan smiled: "You don't doubt your good intentions just by looking at it, and I will give you a few to taste at most later."

Unwilling to be forgotten, Ah Ban said: "Mr. Jiang, there is still me."

Jiang Fan said in a generous tone, "I'll give you a few too."

When the four of them arrived at the cornfield, the three aunts at the noodle workshop were already there. Apart from cleaning the noodle workshop, the three of them cooked for the Hong family brothers every day. There was not much work to share, so The few of them were idle recently, Jiang Fan wanted to pick purple fragrant fruit, so he asked them to come over to help.

There is no hurry to harvest the red jade fruit, and the purple fragrant fruit can also be left on the tree for a month.If the Zixiang fruit is ripe and picked early, the skin will be crispy and the flesh will be rusty. The longer it stays on the tree, the softer the skin and flesh will be. Of course, the fragrance will rise to a higher level.

Jiang Fan likes to eat crisper ones, so he plans to pick them all at once.There are a hundred purple fragrant fruits, and the short fruit trees are full of fruits, and there are no less than a hundred fruits on each tree.

Jiang Fan threw the basket on the ground, picked a few fruits, rubbed the dust on his hands, and directly fed one into his mouth.The fruits that Jixuan gave him before were all grown without nourishment. At that time, the taste was already very good. This time, Jiang Fan planted the fruit himself, which was fed with nourishment, and the taste was even better. It made Jiang Fan unable to stop, stuffing one fruit after another into his mouth, and he ate up a handful of fruits in a short while.

Jiang Fan licked his mouth in satisfaction, and turned his head to see Guan Xiujin staring at him silently, like a child watching adults eat.This analogy made Jiang Fan laugh, and hurriedly said, "I'll eat it for you, I'll eat it for you."

So he picked another handful, and spread out his palm in front of Guan Xiujin, "Here, wipe it off yourself."

Guan Xiujin picked up one, imitated Jiang Fan just now, wiped the ashes, even the same number of times, then fed it into his mouth, met Jiang Fan's expectant eyes, and nodded slowly: "Delicious."
