Infrastructure masters in the red building

The tube-shaped lipstick made by Mi Sandao, passed through Jia Fang's hands, and then entered Shuangwen's hands.After her authoritative appraisal, Zhao Cheng and Li Qingsong sent it to Rouge Square in Datong Lane.

The reason why Jia Fang chose Yanzhifang was because he needed a sales channel in the capital.Moreover, he always believed that this Yanzhifang had something to do with the Jiangnan Lin family. When Lin Ruhai transported "gold and silver rice" to Beijing, he used this Yanzhifang to secretly sell cheap grain.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhao Cheng and Li Qingsong left, Ren Jing, the shopkeeper, followed him back to meet Jia Fang in the Grand View Garden.

Jia Fang: ...Could it be that this is also the property of "Heaven's Life"?

Shopkeeper Ren smiled and saluted and explained: "Master Jia, in fact, all the industries around Datong Lane that are somewhat famous in Beijing and rank well are related to our prince."

Jia Fang was a little discouraged at once: He is really making friends with local tyrants... not only being friends, but also making a bet with others, comparing who can develop better.

Is this really a little overwhelmed!

"My superior ordered the villain to bring a greeting to the third master, saying that if you need the place of Yanzhifang, please just order—"

It is good to have local tyrants as friends, resources and channels are at hand, and they are always on call.

Shopkeeper Ren took out the tube-shaped lipstick that Zhao Cheng sent from his sleeve, and said respectfully: "Baigongfang has also studied how to reduce the cost of the copper tube outside the 'lipstick'." .”

Jia Fang patted his forehead lightly, feeling quite ashamed in his heart - the base and copper tube of this tubular lipstick were all designed by the craftsmen of Baigongfang after Jia Fang wrote the description.After making it, Jia Fang is very satisfied. The only thing he is not satisfied with is the price. The whole copper tube including the base is made of white copper. Tube recycling, remanufacturing and resale?

Therefore, Jia Fang asked the craftsmen of Baigongfang to help him think of other materials, and the shopkeeper Ren will give back by the way today.

"The craftsmen in our workshop have confirmed that if you want to reduce the cost, you can use bamboo strips to grind the shaft of the base. As for the outer cover, you can use bamboo or wood lacquerware."

Indeed! ——Jia Fang is very familiar with lacquerware. This craft is very common in traditional Chinese interior decoration. It can also be made into various boxes, boxes, boxes, plates, screens and other utensils. The decorative effect is good. Lacquerware techniques are also divided into gold painting There are many kinds of lacquer, lacquer, mother-of-pearl, carved lacquer and so on.

The material cost of lacquerware is not high, and the main cost lies in the effort of the craftsman.In this way, as long as you find a suitable lacquerware craftsman, you can use different lacquerware techniques to cover the ordinary bamboo and wood tires into different grades to make exquisite lipstick packaging.

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Ren, this is really a very good idea." Jia Fang thanked him sincerely.

Unexpectedly, shopkeeper Ren didn't take credit at all: "Third Master, you don't need to thank the villain, this is also my superior's idea."

Jia Fang: ...

This person even understands this?

Shopkeeper Ren said again: "I also said that sometimes Mr. Jia does not need to blindly save money. Since it is a good thing, it is worth a little more. In addition to bamboo lacquer, wood lacquer and other materials, you can also consider copper gilt. For gold, silver gilt, or even pure gold, it is best to ask master craftsmen to engrave exquisite patterns on it."

"The shape of this lip balm is naturally for portability, and it can be used easily when you go out. When you use it outside, you must take it out in front of people. Therefore, Mr. Jia should at least make an extremely precious one. What should be expensive should not be cheap, and what should be elegant should not be vulgar."

Jia Fang couldn't help but beat his right hand with his left fist: "As expected of Shui Xian!"Too familiar with consumer psychology, rouge and lipstick are quite extravagant luxury goods in this time and space.Now that we have developed items that can be carried around and used when going out, it is natural to cater to the needs of some people, and the material can be as expensive as possible.

This is like when he was still doing architectural design, some clients never cared about the budget, but just put forward various requirements. The only requirement for the designer was: as long as the design can be implemented, no matter how expensive it is!

"If Mr. Jia can't take care of these things for a while, I have told you that you can hand them over to Yanzhifang, and the stewards in the workshop will arrange for Mr. Jia as appropriate." Shopkeeper Ren explained respectfully.

Jia Fang himself also found it funny: he is indeed not good at this, and it seems that it is better to leave it to professionals.

Immediately he nodded, took out another box, and handed it to shopkeeper Ren: "Since the shopkeeper is here, I don't need to make another trip, please pass this to your superior, saying that I gave it to him Yes. The weather in central Beijing is dry, so you can maintain this thing for a while.”

Shopkeeper Ren didn't know why, so he nodded and put the box away, expressing that he would bring the message with him.

Shui Xian received the box at the Prince's Mansion in Beijing, and let the shopkeeper tell Jia Fang that the weather was so dry. He was really confused, so he had to open the box to see for himself.

I saw that there was also a brass pipe made of white copper in the box, about two inches long and the thickness of a finger.The cupronickel on the surface is polished so brightly that it can almost reflect the shadow of a person.

Shui Xian opened the cover of the copper pipe and couldn't help laughing.

I saw that there was also a lip balm in it, but it was not red, but translucent and almost colorless.Shuixian turned the base gently to let the lip balm inside rise, and leaned close to the nose to take a sniff, and suddenly a cool mint breath lingered in the nose, it was really refreshing.

He tried to smear a little of the lip balm contained in the copper tube on the back of his hand, he only felt moist and cool, but not greasy at all, which was very suitable for Shui Xian.

"Good Jia Fang, you even made lip balm for men." Shui Xian thought to himself, this guy Jia Fang really pays attention to everything in life, gets inspiration from details, but never falls out of the mold.From this point of view, in autumn and winter, when every household in Beijing burns earth dragons and sets up braziers, the business of this Yanzhifang may become popular again in Beijing.

But he was a bit reluctant to use this lip balm, and hid it preciously.Shui Xian then took out the pen and paper and began to write the letter.

The letters were written to Lin Ruhai and Jia Min respectively.In the letter to Lin Ruhai, he clearly stated that he gave them a shop to congratulate the two on their marriage, and all that was left to the shop were the familiar staff and shopkeepers, with sufficient capital and a considerable daily turnover.Lin Ruhai doesn't need to worry about it, all he needs to do is ask the shopkeeper to pay the bill and send money at regular intervals.

The letter to Jia Min was anonymous, it only said that she was pleased to hear that Ms. Jia was engaged, and that she would offer her an engagement gift, such as dowry.But the most important property deeds of this shop, the servant deeds and personal deeds between the shopkeeper and the staff, were all directly handed over to Jia Min.After all, Jia Min will be the mistress of the Lin family in the future, and she should take care of these general affairs.

When Jia Min received the letter, he couldn't figure it out for a while, and it was inconvenient to write to Lin Ruhai for inquiries, so he came to look for Jia Fang.

Jia Fang took a look at the title deed: Datong Lane Rouge Square... this, uh...

He had no choice but to say: "This looks like a gift from a friend. It should be to repay my brother-in-law's previous favor. Sister, please put this away."

Jia Fang could almost imagine Shui Xian standing in front of him and saying casually: "Since I have made this ice man, naturally I have to give a big gift to the new couple."

But Jia Min was a little worried: "But who is this friend, since he gave this great gift, how should I return it in the future?"

Nowadays, gift giving is all about reciprocity. Since this gift was given to her as Jia Min's dowry, Jia Min will have to find a way to repay the favor in the future.Piansheng didn't even leave a name here.

Jia Fang had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "Sister, you don't need to bother with this, the third brother will take care of all the favors here."

He gritted his teeth and took the responsibility of reciprocating favors on himself, but he didn't know that Shui Xian's generous gift was actually just the "lip balm" that Jia Fang gave him.

Cast me a papaya and give it to Qiong Ju.

It was the first time that Jia Fang seriously gave Shui Xian a personal gift, and Shui Xian returned a thousand times the value in return—it was just given to Jia Fang's valued sister, and asked her to help take care of it.

So Jia Min pursed her lips and said, "Why is this so embarrassing? Third brother, you have done so much for us. Brother Lin and I are very grateful, and we will definitely repay you in the future. In this way, third brother, this shop will be treated as I will take care of it for you, and I will keep all the dividends from the shop in the future for you until the day when my brother wants to use it."

Jia Fang waved his hands quickly: "No... Really, I don't need it. I just need this Rouge Square to be my business channel."

Jia Min laughed immediately, and replied, "One word."

Jia Fang settled down on his business dealings with Yanzhifang, and finally had the opportunity to go back to his residence to rest and catch his breath——

And Shuangwen and Sun are busy moving, moving Jia Fang's food, clothing, and daily necessities to Daoxiang Village. The delay in moving was because the infrastructure in the Grand View Garden has not been perfected yet.But now that we have everything that should be there, it's a bit hard to justify Jia Fang's decision not to move.

So everyone agreed to move Jia Fang's residence to Daoxiang Village, and Sun's, Shuangwen's and Fuya's residences to Hengwuyuan.

The two places are close enough to take care of each other while ensuring their respective privacy.Jia Fang was very satisfied with this arrangement.

Jia Fang was tidying up in his own room in Daoxiang Village when he heard someone outside tapping on the door.Jia Fang opened the door, but saw that it was Shuangwen. The girl was blushing at the moment, but she was too excited to say a word, holding the scroll tightly in her hand.

It's been a while since Jia Fang opened this scroll - there is still a little bit of interior decoration in the Zhuijin Building that needs to be completed urgently, and he plans to read it together when it's finished over there.

But at this moment, Shuangwen is eager to find it, so there must be a major change on the scroll.He quickly opened the scroll, only to see that the Red Fragrance Garden and the Jinlou Tower, which had been painted in ink and wash before, had been painted in watercolor—except for watercolor, Jia Fang even felt that this part was more beautiful than the last time he saw it. The ink and wash version of the book is much enlarged, and the colors are brighter. The details of Hongxiang Garden and Zhuijin Building are vividly depicted in the picture. In addition to these two buildings, besides Zhuijin Building, Zilingzhou belongs to The waters also turned into colors.

In particular, the peony that Shuangwen planted in the Hongxiang nursery is not only very vividly painted, but thin golden lines can even be seen in the petals.

"'Golden Belt Wai'?" Jia Fang was also surprised and delighted, and Shuangwen nodded vigorously.

Jia Fang carefully looked at the gold lines on the petals, and it seemed that they were painted with very fine gold powder—this was an unprecedented treatment. Before that, he had repaired Daoxiang Village, Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Hengwu Garden, Luxueguang, Zhedai Zhulan Banqiao is all painted with normal watercolors, but gold powder is used in Hongxiangpu and Zhuijinlou?

"Could it be because these two buildings were built so well this time?" Jia Fang couldn't help asking.

Two words slowly appeared in the blank space of the scroll: "Of course—"

It turned out to be the case.Jia Fang couldn't help laughing, but Shuangwen couldn't help being excited, clasping his hands tightly, his eyes were extraordinarily bright.

But Shuangwen only said that this time the Hongxiang Garden and Zhuijin Tower were built exceptionally well, and Jia Fang understood what happened.

A Hongxiang garden was built in the garden here, and a Hongxiang sugar workshop was built in Taoyuanzhai over there, and a bee farm was opened. In addition to producing honey, the bee farm can also use beeswax to make lipstick and enter the cosmetics market; here Jinlou was built in the garden, and the "Jinhua" textile factory was built in Taoyuanzhai over there; more than that, lotus roots and water eight immortals were planted in the Zilingzhou waters. Correspondingly, the lower reaches of Qingfang River in Taoyuanzhai also piled A lake is formed, which is a natural aquaculture base.

This construction can be said to have the most obvious "mirror image" effect on both sides, and it is also the most fruitful one.With the restoration of Hongxiang Garden and Zhuijin Building here, the entrepreneurial tide of Taoyuan Village is in full swing, and various industries with leading technologies have begun to lay a foundation in Taoyuan Village.

That's why this scroll is so satisfied, even the "result picture" drawn at the end is 120 points of satisfaction.

"So, let me see, what is our task for the next stage?" Jia Fang also felt complacent, and his voice was a little erratic.When Shuangwen heard it, she covered her mouth and smiled. This girl has made great efforts in this project, and she is as happy as Jia Fang at this moment.

The word "Ran Ye" slowly disappeared in the blank space of the scroll, and for a while there were three words—"Choose one of four".

Jia Fang: It turned out to be a multiple-choice question?

After the three words "choose one from four" appeared, they slowly disappeared again. Shuang Wen was puzzled, and frowned, not daring to speak.Jia Fang, on the other hand, stared closely at the screen of the scroll, trying to remember the four options given by the other party.

Soon, a large courtyard appeared on the scroll. The two sides of the courtyard were connected by corridors. The courtyard was dotted with a few rocks. On the left were several plantains, and on the right was a Xifu crabapple.

This is...Yi Hong Kuai Green?Yihong Courtyard?

Jia Fang thought about it, but he didn't express it.

Unexpectedly, at the next moment, an option was given on the scroll - "A, Yihong Courtyard".

Jia Fang couldn't help but hold his forehead, thinking, why did the letters come out?

After A, the scroll gave B, "B, Quicui Temple" - at the same time, the ink pattern on the scroll was changed to a Buddhist temple surrounded by rockery. .

C is a grand and spacious official building, with a pavilion and a bridge extending beside it.The official option given by the scroll is "C, Jiayin Hall".

The last item is a courtyard in which phoenix trees and plantains are planted. In addition, the plaque in the courtyard is inscribed with the four characters "Tongjian Qiufeng".

Jia Fang knew everything right away: this option D is the residence of Jia Tanchun in the original book, Qiu Shuangzhai.

Sure enough, the option "D, Qiu Shuangzhai" slowly appeared on the scroll.

Looking at the double text next to it, the girl was already stunned by the strange-shaped Latin characters, and even forgot to ask.

It's rare that this time the scroll didn't ask him to guess again, but gave him four options ABCD for him to choose.

Jia Fang was asked to "choose one of four" from Yihong Courtyard, Quicui Nunnery, Jiayin Hall and Qiushuangzhai.

Jia Fang sighed and thought: Originally, adults should not have to choose, and everything will be over.However, he has limited manpower and funds in the Grand View Garden, so he can only build it step by step.That's why the scroll will give him four choices.

Presumably, the buildings in these four Grand View Gardens also correspond to the four different development contents of Taoyuan Village.According to Jia Fang’s conjecture, Needless to say, Yihongyuan should correspond to the entertainment industry or even the custom industry; Quicui Temple corresponds to public buildings related to beliefs; Jiayintang corresponds to the public management department... This is his guess, because The name "Jiayintang" is reminiscent of awards and shelter, and it does sound like it could be related to the government.

As for Qiushuangzhai - Jia Fang has no idea at all, and has no idea what kind of function this Qiushuangzhai can correspond to in his small fiefdom.

Choosing different restoration objects at this moment may be choosing a different development path for the future Grand View Garden and even Taoyuan Village.

But Jia Fang quickly made a decision: "I choose C, Jiayintang."

Three shorts and one long choose the longest, and the same length chooses C.This is Jia Fang's valuable experience accumulated in his study and practice as a "comer".
