Chapter 40: The Great Kitchen
Regardless of whether he wants a name or not, Li Yuanjia will not take this first celebrity club in the Tang Dynasty lightly, but has invested at least eighty percent of his energy and time in designing.
In order to reduce the cost and shorten the construction period, the main building was almost not moved.
However, in order to meet Fang Fengzhu's requirement of "making everyone feel comfortable when they are here", Li Yuanjia naturally made some major changes, such as asking Zhang Wan to design a complete sewer system for the new house, and it is still fully enclosed, and the last main road leads directly to the outside ditch......
"In the meantime, I'm going to get them to load up with running water here."
When he was wandering around the house with his wife, Li Yuanjia said with a smile: "In this way, you don't have to always use spring smoke and ink to paint them with water in your daily life, and everyone can be more relaxed." ”
Hearing her say this, Fang Fengzhu's brows suddenly wrinkled: "King, didn't we try it last time, the tap water...... Although it is convenient to use, it is easy to breed dirt in the water tank, and it will become fishy and smelly! ”
Speaking of tap water, which once surprised her, Fang Fengzhu still regretted it in her heart.
Young people, they're all so fresh.
Although no matter what you want to use, someone is waiting for you, and you don't have to do it yourself, but Fang Fengzhu still likes the feeling that when she turns the valve, the water will gurgle out of it.
It's a pity that the set of problems that the palace did earlier was too big.
Because there is no living water, a large tank can only be built to store water, and as long as the water in it is a little longer, it will be muddy and smelly. So within a few days, the king ordered the tap water in most places to be turned off, and only used to flush the toilet in the bathroom......
Regarding Fang Fengzhu's worries, Li Yuanjia waved his hand and smiled: "This time is different, because there are many people here, even if you build a large water tank, I am afraid that you need to put water in it every day...... And more importantly, this house is very close to the water canal outside, if you build a water tower next to the wall, what else do you need to be afraid of? ”
“…… Also. ”
Fang Fengzhu's eyes lit up, and he immediately turned his head to look at the high wall to the east.
Outside the wall, there is a canal that leads from outside the city.
Eight rivers surround Chang'an, Chang'an City in this era is not short of water at all, but it is not easy to build a canal in the city, so it is basically along the main road in the city. Although there is also one around the Han Wangfu in Shengyefang, the palace is so big that if you want to draw water from the canal to the area where Li Yuanjia lives, you must build a very tall water tower - the kind that can be seen at a glance from a distance.
For Li Yuanjia, this is too low-key.
And this house that has just been bought is different, there is a water canal outside the wall, and the main house is not far away, which is at most thirty or forty meters. At this distance, it is no problem to erect a water tower that is not too high, and in the future, when the club members increase, this water tower can also be used to the fullest extent and will not be wasted.
As for whether the water in the tower can be drunk......
Ahem, it can be sterilized if it is boiled anyway, what can't you drink?
After glancing at each other, a smile appeared on the corners of Li Yuanjia and Fang Fengzhu's mouths at the same time - the traverser was happy that the tap water finally had a place to use, and it was in vain that he was drawing pictures at the beginning, and explaining the principle to Chen Mu and Zhang Wan, and the money spent on the experiment alone was probably as much as a hundred; As for Fang Fengzhu's words, her mind is much simpler, because she can sigh in front of the little sisters again.
Come to think of it, it's tap water!
From ancient times to the present, who has ever seen this kind of device that does not need to be picked and mentioned, and only needs to unscrew a valve to gurgle out the water? Fang Fengzhu can almost predict that as long as he takes the little sisters into the house and twists the valve, they won't have their chins on the ground and their eyes jumping on the ground like their younger brother Fang Jun?
"Hee-hee!"
The more she thought about it, the happier she became, Fang Fengzhu didn't hold back in the end, and laughed out loud.
Li Yuanjia, who was smiling at her, was very inexplicable, glanced at her own princess, blinked her eyes and smiled: "Fengzhu, what were you laughing at just now?" ”
"Huh? Belch...... Nothing, nothing. ”
Fang Fengzhu was a little weak-hearted, and quickly waved his hand to change the topic and said, "King, since you are going to let Zhang Wan and them bring in tap water, are you going to build a few bathrooms too?" To be honest, after getting used to being at home, now that I'm out and about, I change my clothes...... I'm always a little unaccustomed to it! ”
Seeing that Fang Fengzhu's face was slightly flushed, Li Yuanjia suddenly laughed and said, "Haha, of course it has to be built, and it can't just be built!" ”
When he said this, Li Yuanjia simply took Fang Fengzhu's small hand and walked forward more than a dozen steps, then stroked his fingers a few times and said with a smile: "Here...... Over here...... And there...... Each room should be built with a supporting bathroom, which should not only have a toilet, but also a place to wash hands, so that everyone can solve everything without going out when they have fun! ”
After speaking, he took Fang Fengzhu and walked a few more steps, Li Yuanjia pointed to the two big rooms: "This will become the place where you eat on weekdays, and the one next to it is the kitchen...... When the time comes, if you want to bring Yu Niang with you, just let someone prepare the ingredients in advance, and then let Yu Niang come an hour or two in advance. ”
After finishing speaking, Li Yuanjia looked at Fang Fengzhu with a smile, looking at the look of satisfaction and expectation flashing in his princess's eyes, and a pair of small hands couldn't help but gesture twice: "So...... So much better! But my lord, will this kitchen be too big? ”
Blinking her eyes, Fang Fengzhu was slightly surprised.
"Hehe, it's not big."
Shaking his head, Li Yuanjia said with a smile.
The power of his own cook, Li Yuanjia couldn't be clearer.
Whether it is Li Tai, the king of Wei, or a bigwig-level figure like Liang Guogongfang Xuanling, or a young man like his aunt Li, or his brother-in-law Fang Yiai, as long as he has tasted the food made by Yu Niang, he will never forget it...... With Li Yuanjia, a gourmand more than a thousand years later, he always quietly mentions that Yu Niang can always "create" amazing food, what's so surprising? So in the past few years, there have been more than a dozen apprentices brought out by Yu Niang alone, and even the imperial chef in the palace has it!
If you really want to talk about it, Han Wangfu's food is the first in Chang'an, this sentence is really not nonsense.
With such a top chef in the family, it would be strange if Fang Fengzhu could not help showing off - no matter how calm her temperament is, no matter how well Fang Xuanling and the Lu family teach her, she is just a teenage girl after all, and it is a nature to love to show off, where can she avoid it?
Just like the tap water mentioned before, Yu Niang's food has naturally become one of the capitals to show off.
So looking at Fang Fengzhu's happy but puzzled look, Li Yuanjia was slightly happy, took her little hand and walked towards the so-called kitchen: "This is very good?" If you knew what I'm going to build in this kitchen, I'll be even happier......"
