The Rebirth of 88s Begins with a Carpenter

  Chapter 579 Siheyuan renovation, new wine in old bottles

   Along with it, there was a squeak.

   A little crooked, the door with peeling red paint slowly opened to both sides.

  The first scene that catches the eye is a screen wall with gray walls and black tiles, engraved with a big blessing character.

   This is what many old courtyard houses look like.

  Yan Ruqing was trembling all over, and she couldn't help leaning towards Wu Yuan and said, "Why do I feel a little intrusive? Could someone have died here?"

   Upon hearing this, Wu Yuan laughed: "Sister Yan, which courtyard house in BJ has no one died? This point is actually the least taboo."

  Yan Ruqing relaxed a little, but still clinging to Wu Yuan.

  It was as if the pull when they picked up the plane last night broke through the sense of distance between the two, and they got closer naturally.

  Wu Yuan stood still, gestured with a pencil and said, "Sister Yan, the first thing to change in your courtyard is the screen wall. Let's introduce some modern elements, consider the combination of hollowing out and bright colors..."

While talking, Wu Yuan drew a few sketches of screen walls on the paper spread out at hand, saying: "In this way, it not only takes into account the function of screen walls in the courtyard, but also has a sense of modernity and fashion, so as not to make people feel uncomfortable. As soon as you enter the door, you will go back to the feudal era.”

  Yan Ruqing looked at the sketch on the paper, followed Wu Yuan's description, and imagined the change in perception that a new screen wall would bring to the entire courtyard. His eyes gradually became clearer, and then became brighter.

"The next step is this corridor. If you don't like the gray tile and wooden corridor, you can completely replace it with imported tempered glass. But it is a kind of damage to the ancient charm of the courtyard house to transform it all with tempered glass. We can use these, these and These places selectively replace retrofitting…”

   Gradually, following Wu Yuan's fascinating introduction, Yan Ruqing forgot the discomfort this courtyard house brought her at first, and began to look forward to what it would look like after the renovation.

   After turning around, Yan Ruqing still couldn't get enough of it and said, "Can you tell me about the renovation plan of your family's secondary courtyard?"

  Wu Yuan was surprised, and said happily: "Sister Yan, it's best if you want to hear it. I just want to hear some different opinions. So if you have an opinion, you can interrupt at any time."

  The second courtyard that Wu Yuan bought is bigger than Yan Ruqing's.

  Therefore, there are more design elements, which made Yan Ruqing's eyes sparkle.

  It turns out that the old house can be modified like this?

  If the modern water and electricity units are seamlessly embedded here, the comfort of the courtyard house is really not comparable to that of ordinary villas.

   By the time the renovation plan for this secondary hospital was finished, it was already noon.

   "It's time for dinner, what do you want to eat?"

  Wu Yuan was still pondering over the details of the renovation in hand, and said casually, "Whatever you want, I can eat anything."

   "Okay then, go to Centipede Lane."

   Came to Sister Chu's homely restaurant again, Sister Chu looked at the two, her aunt's smile was undisguised.

   Yan Ruqing felt embarrassed when she saw it, and said angrily, "Sister Chu, if you keep laughing like this, I'm leaving!"

   "Okay, okay, I don't smile anymore. Not only do I not smile, but I also have to thank you for bringing people to my shop. Today I will give you a free bowl of ice powder, a delicious food from Yunnan and Guizhou."

  Yan Ruqing looked vigilant: "Sister Chu, your family didn't have this dish before. You can't just learn it, why don't you try it with us?"

   "You guessed it right, it's for the two of you to try the taste and give your opinion."

   Let people try dishes, are you so undisguised?

  However, Wu Yuan didn't expect that Yan Ruqing changed the subject, and instead agreed, "Then bring it up first."

  Sister Chu gracefully went to the back kitchen.

   Soon came two bowls of colorful ice powder.

  The color is rich because there is a layer of crushed peanuts, raisins, chopped hawthorn, and fruits on top.

   And below, white ice powder soaked in brown sugar water.

   Vaguely arouses the appetite.

   In addition, it has been specially refrigerated. In this hot summer, it is so cool to take a bite suddenly.

   "How is it?" Sister Chu couldn't wait to ask when she saw the two of them taking their first bite.

   "Not bad," Yan Ruqing said vaguely, "It's quite suitable for this weather."

  Sister Chu said with satisfaction: "It can satisfy Ms. Yan's taste. It seems that this ice powder can be put on the menu." Then the topic changed: "What do you two want to eat, I will let the back chef make it."

  Yan Ruqing still ordered Braised Pork Rice and Shuangpi Nai, similar to last time.

   Fortunately, Wu Yuan did not choose.

  Young and strong, with a good appetite, have an appetite for everything.

   After filling her stomach, it was still Yan Ruqing who paid 12 yuan before leaving.

  Sister Chu accepted Yan Ruqing's money, but said to Wu Yuan: "Young man, come here often in the future!"

  Leaving from Centipede Lane, Wu Yuan drove Yan Ruqing to a car shop, and picked up the Honda coupe that had just been serviced.

   Then the two separated.

  Wu Yuan drove back to the office directly, only to find that the air conditioner had been installed.

  As soon as you enter the door, you will feel the cool breeze, which is extremely refreshing.

  Everyone in the office is also much quieter, each of them is busy with the work at hand.

  Only Meng Na had the chance to serve tea and water, so she came over.

   Mustered up the courage for a long time before he said: "Boss, I want my father to work with you, okay?"

   "Okay!" Wu Yuan said without hesitation: "As long as I have real skills, I don't lack work here. But you two sisters have to discuss it and agree on it."

   "Yaoyao agreed," Meng Na said seriously, "I'm going to call my father."

  Wu Yuan nodded: "Go."

  A moment later, Meng Na timidly leaned over again.

  Wu Yuan was too absorbed in drawing the design drawings of the courtyard house, so he didn't notice her.

   As a result, the silly girl waited for a long time, until Wu Yuan raised her head while drinking water, and then took the opportunity to say: "Boss, my father wants to bring some people over, okay?"

  Wu Yuan pretended to ponder and said: "As long as you are a good player, within ten people, that's fine. If there are too many, I can't digest it here."

   It’s not that it can’t be digested.

   It's the same as giving Zhang Baifa only 20 places.

   Prevent people from clumping together, which is inconvenient for management.

  Meng Na hurriedly said, "I'll call my father again..."

   Just like that, the afternoon passed by in a hurry.

  It wasn't until Pan Mazi and Zhai Di stood in front of him in white shirts and ties that Wu Yuan asked in surprise, "Why are you dressed like this?"

  Pan Mazi said confidently: "Boss, don't you want to compete with those suppliers for wine? We must not play it backwards, so as not to fall into the prestige of the boss."

  Wu Yuan smiled and said: "I asked you to go to get acquainted with them. There will definitely be such entertainment in the future, and I won't go when the time comes. You two can also hold your own and be on your own."

   "Oh," Pan Mazi lowered his eyebrows immediately upon hearing this.

   Di Di anxiously said: "Then what should we do now? It's too late to go back and change."

  Wu Yuan sized it up and said, "Just take off the tie."
