This courtyard is an old-fashioned traditional Chinese house, not a unique cave in Baotou, but a bit like a courtyard house in Beijing, with blue bricks and tiles, doors and windows, or the old Chinese tradition, wood carved doors and windows, pasted with paper, simple and elegant, it looks like it has a strong sense of history, but the light is not particularly good.

Yang Yuanzhao, who was accustomed to living in later generations, was difficult to adapt to the doors and windows of this era, and in the case of better choices, glass doors and windows, and even aluminum alloy doors and windows, became his inevitable choice.

Aluminum alloy is ready-made, not a special window aluminum alloy in later generations, the level is higher, it is specially customized aluminum alloy for modified cars, strong and weight, much lighter than traditional aluminum alloy, in the all-in-one machine, a little bit of a pattern, and then produced according to the size of the window, as for the glass, it is also ready-made, the same is for the glass of the modified car, the purity is much higher than the general glass.

Remove the bulky wooden paste paper windows, replace them with neat and bright aluminum alloy doors and windows, and the doors have also been changed accordingly, replacing the doors of this era with the common simple wooden doors of later generations, which can complete the carving and hollowing craftsmanship of this era for craftsmen, easy can not be easy, and even did not wait for Yang Yuanzhao to mention, they carved these wooden doors with rich folk style carvings, just a thin layer, but also made the door much more beautiful.

The modification of windows and doors continues, for the big action of the house, it is also in progress, compared to the kitchen, the decoration of the toilet is much easier, Yang Yuanzhao did not choose the modern flush toilet that is difficult to achieve, but adopts the method of separation, the squatting type is easier to achieve than the sitting type, the wooden is not firm, and the use time is too short, ceramic, for the time being, Yang Yuanzhao does not have the time to study his sanitary ware, there are ready-made tiles and cement, it will not be much more difficult than the later generations, the use of a large number of people, a day or two of effort, The transformation was completed.

The alteration of the kitchen and toilet is basically completed, and the water of the house is also very easy, and the stainless steel pipes of later generations are enough to make every place have tap water, and now there is no tower water supply and the like, only in a high place, build a reservoir, use manpower every day, with the help of pulleys, put water into the reservoir, and then pass the guò pipe, forget about every room, so that as long as there is enough water in the reservoir, it is also a simple tap water, reservoir, Yang Yuanzhao chose a steel structure, A 15-meter-high tower was designed, and the steel structure was somewhat difficult to solve the housing problem, but it was no problem to make such a tower made of pure steel, even if it was the reservoir itself, the lightweight aluminum alloy material, the weight was several times lighter than that of steel, and the installation was easily completed with the help of a hoist crane.

Hot water and cold water, all tap water, the renovation of doors and windows is basically repaired, only the electricity is left, and this house already has the ability to live in people.

Living alone in a compound with dozens of rooms, Yang Yuanzhao was not happy, so he beckoned Liu Shu and asked those long-term servants and maids to come back, and by the way, help him find a housekeeper.

Liu Shu's ability to do things is very strong, at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, a tall and thin middle-aged man with a melon skin hat followed Liu Shu and came to Yang Yuanzhao's house.

There is still some clutter in the house, the doors and windows have been changed, but the backyard has been changed, mainly the room and living room where Yang Yuanzhao lives, but the effect has been revealed, the wide and neat aluminum alloy windows, which are very different from the simple wooden doors of this era, plus the white interior, give people a bright feeling.

This is from the beginning of the decoration, Liu Shu entered this courtyard for the first time, overall, the courtyard to him feels very strange, there is no Chinese style at all, but it is not completely Westernized, at least, there is a huge difference with the Western characteristics of this era, but really carefully observe this house, Liu Shu can taste a little taste.

Details, yes, is the details, the whole decoration, adhering to the convenient, durable, bright aluminum alloy windows, not only beautiful, wide windows, there will be enough sunlight to shine in, so that the light transmittance of the whole room is very good, at this time is already the sun is slanting westward, in most of the house, the light is a little dim, but the bright windows, any light from the outside world, are refracted into the house, the room is not dusk in the afternoon, but bright and abnormal.

"This is Sun Fusheng, who used to be the housekeeper of the Wu family, and was the former prefect of Datong!"

The prefect, in the old era, was not a small official, and it had a huge influence on a region, Yang Yuanzhao frowned, a prefect's housekeeper, not what he wanted, however, after talking with Sun Fusheng, he found that Sun Fusheng had a wide range of knowledge, not the kind of traditional literati, but a person who had a certain understanding of foreign affairs and foreign countries.

This Sun Fusheng himself is a Baotou person, he went to Datong more than 20 years ago, and happened to be a long-term follower with the prefect, and later the prefect moved into officialdom, and he was responsible for some of his business, going south and north, and even went to the UK once because of a single business.

Yang Yuanzhao was slightly surprised, in this era, the family of the old bureaucracy was able to go to the UK, even if it was just for a single business, this is amazing, not to mention anything else, he still recognizes the ability, and he can't see the character for the time being, and he still left Sun Fusheng in his trust in Liu Shu.

With Yang Yuanzhao's approval, Sun Fusheng was considered to be taking office, and the first thing was to arrange the lives of the long-term entourage and the maidservants, plus the concierge, more than a dozen people, food, clothing and flowers, all need to be carefully planned.

Yang Yuanzhao is not a harsh person, in the case of an all-in-one machine, money is just a number for him, roughly telling Sun Fusheng how much he will spend every month, and then he will completely let go.

"Okay, Yuan Zhao, this house of yours is much more comfortable than mine!" Liu Shu didn't know when he walked out, just now he took a turn inside the house, the glass windows, and the outside, it looks like a metal thing, it is very solid, the whole looks bright and abnormal, the most important thing is that the faucet, he doesn't know what it is, he tried it a little, after unscrewing it, it can automatically flow water, which has never been seen before.

Liu Shu was born in a wealthy family, when he was young, his father went to the west exit, broke into the family business, he studied at home, and lived a hard life, and then his life was better, with fine clothes and jade food, but he was not so particular about Yang Yuanzhao, and he looked at the fineness and thoroughness to the most subtle detail.

"Why, brother likes it, then I'll come up with materials and decorate your home!"

"I wouldn't dare to be as bold as you!" Liu Shu smiled bitterly, he is a scholar, a lifter, even if he takes the business route, he can't lose his fame, the occasional foreign hobby, this is no problem, many officials have this hobby, but it is really completely Western, basically, it will become an alternative among scholars, so it is not easy to be motivated.

Liu Shu is unwilling, Yang Yuanzhao is not forced, many things in later generations, water and electricity, have a certain degree of danger, people who are not familiar with it, maybe they will be electrocuted, before they are familiar, it is not good to install it rashly.

"How is Fusheng, he is very honest and has a strict mouth!" Liu Shu asked.

"That's good, by the way, what about those maids, let them all come, I'm here, it's not easy to live, you need on-site training!"

"Still training?" Liu Shu was dumbfounded for a while, thought for a while, and said, "Okay, I'll let them come over in the afternoon!" ”

After Liu Shu finished speaking, he said goodbye, and Yang Yuanzhao also gave Sun Fusheng some money and asked him to go to the market to purchase some daily necessities.

Sun Fusheng's movements were not slow, he went out for about an hour, and then came back with people with things, the things were very rich, a few bags of rice, white flour was ready-made, and after Yang Yuanzhao lived in the new house, Baoxin Flour Mill sent 100 bags of newly manufactured flour, as well as half a fan of pork, a few fish and a leg of mutton, in addition to Sun Fusheng coming back, there are all the employees given by Liu Shu, 4 maidservants, 8 long-term followers, and a porter and a groom, plus Sun Fusheng, a total of 15 people.

At this time, they all stood neatly in the courtyard, looking at Yang Yuanzhao a little timidly, this is a new environment, they have a new master, no matter what their temperament, at this moment, they don't dare to say anything.
