Chapter 104: The Secret Room Mechanism (2nd Update)
The middle-aged foreman explained that in the Qin Dynasty, institutions began to prevail, and many dignitaries and wealthy businessmen installed organs at home to prevent assassination and theft, and the secret room was formed.
The ancestor of the middle-aged foreman was one of the construction laborers, who built a mausoleum for a great general and set traps to prevent the tomb from being robbed after death.
Since then, his family has made this craft taboo and does not allow juniors to learn it again.
"By chance, I found a remnant of the secret room construction book in the ancestral house, and I learned a little bit, if Xiang Girl wants to design the secret room more perfectly, I can recommend someone to Xiang Girl, he knows more than me in mechanics, and he is also a blacksmith. ”
"Bring him here. Xiang Yue didn't think about it.
I didn't expect that there was really a trick in reality, and I thought it was made up in TV and movies, and there were many talented people in ancient China.
The middle-aged foreman said what was difficult:
"He was lame and had a very strange temper, and if his employer said something that he was not happy about, he would leave his job and leave. Usually he talks very little, and his iron-striking skills are good, but his temper rarely comes to the door, so he is not worried about him talking nonsense, but he is afraid that when he is unhappy, he will not do it. ”
"Invite him first, you are responsible for contacting him, so that everyone does not offend him, if he refuses to do it, let him be, and I will pay attention to find someone more reliable in the future." ”
Xiang Yue decided so.
When it comes to the catering business, the kitchen is very important. The kitchen layout was designed according to her forward-thinking ideas, which was beautiful and hygienic.
Because modern cooking is needed, it is indispensable to build a few modern cooking utensils that cannot use electricity, so let the middle-aged foreman leave a few vacant seats for people to build slowly in the future.
For example, the oven used to roast "fragrant duck" should be transformed into an iron furnace, which is easy to move and easy to clean. The original oven made of brick and clay has been in the yard all the time, and when it rains, business is out of business.
Warehouses are also important. It's not just about storing items. It is also necessary to store food such as grain.
Build an underground refrigerator under the warehouse, there was no refrigerator in ancient times, and the ice was not supposed to be in summer, and ordinary people could not have the conditions for ice mining and ice storage. Only preserve food in a cooler way underground. Generally, it can only be stored for two or three days. It's already good to face the hot summer.
Staff dormitories are also very important, and only a stable living environment can be enjoyed in order to live in peace. In order to let the people who do things treat this place as their own home and work well.
Xiang Yue plans to build a two-story building, a total of 18 rooms, equivalent to a modern two-room household, about 50 square meters, the kitchen does not have to be equipped, changed into a small living room, for employees to entertain relatives and friends, or place items, so that a set of two-room households can live for two people.
The upper and lower eight sets on the left side are male dormitories, and the eight sets on the right are female dormitories, and the stairs of the male and female dormitories are independent and not connected to each other.
Sandwiched in the middle, the remaining upper and lower floors are Xiang Yue's own residence, a single family, she has always wanted to have a beautiful house, but now everything has just begun, and it is not the time to fulfill her wish.
The room she lived in was twice the size of the other rooms, and there was her bedroom upstairs, so naturally her bedroom had a hidden mystery, and the real place to sleep was in the secret room.
There is a bathroom next to the bedroom, and although there is no way to bring modern shower facilities and sanitary equipment over, with her nimble mind, she can always think of a way to do it.
She drew a drawing of the shape of a flush toilet, which the plasterer was still able to make, and then asked the blacksmith to make a thick iron pipe that connected it to the toilet and led to the underground manure pit. When it's convenient, just take a bucket of water and flush it down.
If it is okay to use it, she will install such a bathroom for each dormitory, so that everyone will not have to run the smelly thatched hut in the middle of the night.
The store can also be equipped in this way, which will be more clean and hygienic.
Even if you have a shower, it's not bad to get a big bathtub to take a bath, and the sewer goes directly through the hole in the wall, and there is a bamboo forest outside, and you can flow out.
In those days, there was no sewage return, and the dirty water used by every household was poured directly out of the door or in the gutter.
She also set up a special pharmacy to place medicinal materials to facilitate the refining of pills and the storage of pills.
The downstairs can be used as a living room, and the living room of nearly 100 square meters is also good for meetings.
She likes the rich antique style of ancient times, and the shape still chooses the cornices and arches, but a small rooftop will be opened up at the top, which is summer, there is no air conditioning here, and it should be a pleasant thing to be able to cool off on the roof.
Xiang Yue's design, naturally, was unheard of and unseen by the middle-aged foreman, and he was stunned on the side, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
"Xiang ...... ...... to adults"
In addition to his gratitude to her, the middle-aged foreman was more reverent, so revered that even the title had changed, and he only felt that the little girl in front of him was unfathomable, and he almost fell to the ground with his knees bent.
"Say whatever you want, just say it. Xiang Yue didn't care about the title.
"Lord Xiang is really a genius in the history of architecture, and the villain is beyond his reach. The middle-aged foreman exclaimed, "This kind of project is amazing, but it will take a little more time to work, and there will be a lot of silver." ”
After all, this era is backward, there is no high-tech assembly line operation, such as building a thick iron pipe, the cost must be a lot of money, it requires high-tech blacksmiths to smelt and cast a hammer, not only the construction time, but also the cost of silver.
"It's okay, just arrange to do it. ”
Xiang Yue is full of confidence, she will not be short of money in the future, she will spend more money, and making money is not just for a better life.
The middle-aged foreman's surname was Zhen, and Xiang Yue began to call him Foreman Zhen, and the two talked for nearly two hours before the discussion was completed.
Xiang Yue summoned Liushazhuang and other subordinates over, and asked them to obey the orders of the foreman Zhen at the construction site, and then it was a fixed construction team, and gave Geng's ten silver taels and explained a few words.
Foreman Zhen went to procure materials and hire a blacksmith, and Xiang Yue went to Bihai Pavilion to buy other side medicines for the preparation of Dahua Dan, and the two left together.
Xiang Yue had already gone to Bi Hai Pavilion more than once, found Bi Shang familiarly, and handed him the malfunctioning diving needle.
The diving needle was hit by a person who cultivated in the middle realm, and the surface was not damaged at all, I don't know what material it was made of, it was very strong, but Xiang Yue was full of expectations, and felt that it should be repaired.
However, what is disappointing is that while Bi Shang was amazed at the high-grade treasures, he was very sorry to tell her that ordinary treasures were damaged and there was basically no way to repair them.
In the evening, Foreman Zhen called a few of his most trusted subordinates to rush to work overnight and secretly completed the prototype of the secret room on the first floor. The space and doors of the chamber are now sealed, and it is only when the new building is built that they will carry out the interior decoration and install the mechanism and secret door.
The next day, the others only knew that they were in a hurry to work last night, thinking that Xiang Yue wanted to complete the new building as soon as possible to do business, and they didn't suspect anything. (To be continued.) )
