"Cheng, I'll take my time, I'll inform you if there's something, by the way, you have to find me a few florists, plant me a row of creepers along the west outer wall, let them climb up along the outer wall, all the way to the top of the glass, so it's not too eye-catching, or anyone who passes by will see a big glass cover, it's not good!"
Hong Tao only wandered outside the yard for a few minutes, and a very important problem appeared: camouflage! Must be camouflaged! It is still a very good idea to plant a wall of creepers, as long as you are careful not to let them grow on the exhaust fan, so that if you pass by on the road, you will not be able to see what is behind this layer of green leaves.
"Cheng, I'll let them come over in a few days, and just plant along the courtyard wall, right?" Captain Wang saw Hong Tao's appearance, he didn't plan to let him cooperate with him to enter the courtyard, so just leave quickly, he didn't have the time to accompany this young man with bad water in his stomach to play at home, this kind of person is better to stay away, especially someone like Hong Tao who is not mentally normal.
Seeing Captain Wang leave with two workers who were responsible for the finishing, Hong Tao then raised his legs and walked into the yard, first this gatehouse, not bad, deep in his own intentions, neither red lacquer gate, nor any door nails, not to mention the carved beams and paintings and Huang Tongtong's copper work, it is a simple two wooden doors, dark green doors with black door frames, octagonal household pairs, and boxy doors.
If you think that these are two ordinary wooden doors, then you are wrong, there is a wall behind this wooden door, and there is a stainless steel security door on the wall, and the two wooden doors in front are just for the sake of looking good, and you have to be able to open this security door if you want to enter the yard.
"Dut...... Honk...... "......Ever since Hong Tao walked into the wooden door, two red lights began to flash in the three- or four-square-meter doorway, and then there was an annoying beep, as if he was calling someone." Truly. This thing is an alarm, which was originally installed on the factory floor to alert workers who are still working on the work surface. Or to prevent the overhead crane, or to prevent the rolling rails under the feet. But now Hong Tao has used it here, as soon as he opens the wooden door. The power switch will be connected, and the alarm devices here and in the yard will start to chirp and flash together, and will continue to ring unless they are manually turned off.
Open the two anti-theft locks on the stainless steel security door, this is the real courtyard, Hong Tao first reached out to the wall and pressed the switch, turned off the alarm, and then walked along the front yard. The ground here has been paved with large stone strips. Grinding bricks to joints, very smooth. On the right side is the courtyard wall, after going to the end, the original two inverted rooms have been changed into a garage together with a section of the courtyard wall, which is also the second access to the courtyard, but it cannot be opened from the outside, it can only be opened from the inside, because Hong Tao did not find the kind of garage door that can be remotely controlled, for the sake of safety, he can only take this stupid method.
Pass through the Moon Gate on the left. In front of you is the main courtyard, and on the left side of the three steps, there is the porch in front of the five tall north rooms. Standing in the porch, the square courtyard is clear at a glance, there are three east rooms on the left, three west rooms on the right, and five inverted seats on the opposite side, just behind the main house, there is a row of tall and thin back houses, and the north wall of the back cover room is also the north wall of the whole courtyard.
Now the house has been renovated and the water and electricity are connected. It's just that the furniture hasn't been moved yet, and the rooms are empty. These five main rooms are undoubtedly Hong Tao's bedroom, study, and living room. The three west rooms are storage rooms and kitchens, and the three east rooms and the five inverted rooms are not planned for the time being. Hong Tao plans to use them as his own collection room first, and put all the things he likes in them. As for the living room, guest rooms, etc., Hong Tao didn't plan at all, and he didn't plan to bring outsiders here at all, this place belongs to him alone for the time being, and whether there will be a hostess stationed in the future, it is still unknown.
It is worthy of being a greenhouse, Hong Tao has just been in it for a few minutes, it is already too hot to stay, it is useless to just take off his clothes, because the electric switch of the whole yard is not closed, so the automatic temperature adjustment system controlled by the temperature probe does not work, Hong Tao took a building sketch left by Captain Wang, found the power distribution cabinet in an inverted room, and closed the electric switch.
"This Nima is an electric tiger in the summer, fortunately buddy has the foresight, even if you have a power outage, we can't die!"
Of course, Hong Tao didn't care about the electricity money, in order to ensure the safe operation of the system, he also installed a 5,000-watt diesel motor under the floor of this room, in the event of a power outage, this motor can also maintain the normal operation of the ventilation system. If you want to ask why you don't install a bigger motor, it's not that Hong Tao doesn't want to, it's not that he can't afford it, but the diesel motor in this era is too noisy, so Hong Tao also dug the ground of this power distribution room more than a meter deep, made a cement trough, and then put the motor inside, and the whole house was soundproofed.
Although the exhaust fan has begun to work, but the temperature can not drop in a short time, Hong Tao can only climb up to the roof along the spiral ladder, and then open the skylight, carefully stand on the top of the glass roof, even if he knows that these glasses are specially treated and thickened, can bear the weight of almost a ton, but Hong Tao is still a little drumming in his heart, what if he catches up with a piece of defective products?
However, the company that installed and designed the glass roof is really considerate, and they actually installed a circle of one-meter-high handrails on the glass roof, which means that you can jump on your feet within the handrails, as long as you don't overload, it is safe. But beyond this round of handrails, the load of each piece of glass is only 200 kilograms, and although it can be used by an adult to walk on it, it doesn't sound so safe.
Standing on the roof, looking around, most of the surrounding areas are low-rise bungalows, only a few units have an office building standing out, but compared to the bell tower and drum tower in the southeast, it is also a small character. Looking down from above, the whole yard is clear at a glance, and the green grass is like a square billiard table, but two thick zippers are sewn on the left and right, and these two zippers are the cross-shaped blue brick walkway.
In fact, even this cross-shaped brick trail is a semi-finished product, it only has a layer of green bricks stacked vertically below, and there is a lack of a layer of tiled bricks on the top, so although it doesn't feel uneven when you walk up, the appearance is not very good-looking, and there is no shape with high middle and low sides. It's not that Captain Wang cut corners, nor did he forget it, but he listened to Hong Tao's instructions and deliberately left the last process undone.
Why didn't you do it, Captain Wang asked, Hong Tao didn't sue him, not only didn't he sue him, Hong Tao didn't sue anyone. He planned to polish the sapphires that the third child got back for him a little, and then inlay them on the trail with cement, and then use the hundreds of jade rough stones to edge them. Of course, this job can no longer be hired to do it, and it can only be done by Hong Tao himself.
But don't rush yet, the most important thing now is not the gemstone floor, but furniture, electrical appliances, pots and spoons and other daily necessities. Hong Tao couldn't move these things alone, especially those hardwood furniture, which were all dead and heavy, and he could only find someone to pedal three wheels, help him move out here, and help him move in there.
What if you catch up with a board master who likes to inquire, and ask while working, whose house is this, and you still have to put a glass cover on it? Hong Tao mysteriously said the word "Second Department of the General Staff", and then the other party generally shut up very interestingly. As for why there is this effect, because people in Beijing like to talk about national affairs from old to young, and naturally they also know about many departments of the country, and know which departments can inquire and which departments are best not to inquire more.
For his own little nest, Hong Tao also worked hard, he went to open a fake note, got an acute enteritis or something, and sent the little uncle to the school, and then it took four days to toss all the fine furniture stored in the basement to his new home little by little, and according to some fur he learned from the second master, put these furniture where they should be.
Now, this courtyard can be regarded as habitable, but Hong Tao still can't be idle, he still has a lot of ideas that have not been realized. For example, buy a refrigerator, specially used to store his own developed film, and now he doesn't want to print out the photos, one is expensive, the other is meaningless, these negatives have to be stored for more than ten years, before they can be called a little valuable.
Another example is the huge fish tank he placed in the yard, which not only has to raise goldfish, but also has to plant lotus flowers. In summer, take a bamboo rocking chair and sit under the grape trellis, on one side is the goldfish playing lotus, on the other side is the grasshopper spreading its wings, moving and quiet, how interesting. By the way, I have to find a grapevine to plant, this time Hong Tao doesn't want to trouble the second master anymore, mainly because he doesn't want him to think of his own yard, so let's go by myself.
As for those gemstone paving, Hong Tao has already prepared, the small desktop cutter for polishing and cutting jade has been bought, and the cement is also ready, just as soon as he has the effort, he will bring back a bag of sapphire raw materials from the basement, and then polish it piece by piece, and start setting it with cement when he has saved enough batch. This is a very painstaking slow work, although he doesn't plan to polish the whole gem out, just take a plane, but can't stand the large number, and no matter how cheap this thing is, it is also a gem, it can't be cut like cutting the floor tiles, and it is mostly rubbed slowly, anyway, Hong Tao is not in a hurry, and he will come over and rub a few times to relieve his boredom.
