Chapter 31: Commencement of Construction
Those five or six young people couldn't bear Lin Jinxiu and the girls to carry so many things, and came over to take away all the things on their bodies, and kept offering their courtesy.
Especially Ning Er, who was surrounded by these little apprentices and asked questions, and Ning Er blushed.
"Hmph, it's not promising." Zhang Mou and Lin Jinxiu walked at the back, and Zhang Mou rolled his eyes at his apprentices.
Lin Jinxiu understands. Young and strong lads always go up and strike up a conversation with a good-looking girl, and this has been the same throughout the ages.
"I still remember what your shop looks like." Zhang Mou said, "I used to go to your store to buy baked cakes, but I didn't go until the eldest sister stopped opening the store. ”
Lin Jinxiu snorted: "Then how does the master think it will be built?" ”
Zhang Mou said: "I plan to keep the store as it is, but girl, have you ever considered changing places?" ”
Lin Jinxiu shook his head: "I don't plan to change places for the time being, and I will make plans when the store is completely opened and business is booming." ”
Zhang Mou sighed, knowing Lin Jinxiu's plan, he didn't ask again: "Then when the girl moves the store, she will come to me for help." ”
"Definitely." Lin Jinxiu said with a smile.
On the way to the location of the store, Lin Jinxiu and Zhang Mou discussed the reconstruction and transformation of the store, because the original place is very small, Lin Jinxiu hopes to improve the storage space in a modern way, and the design of various dark grooves makes Zhang Mou almost think that Lin Jinxiu is also an expert in his own industry.
Zhang Mou has not been inspired by carpentry work for a long time, and this exchange with Lin Jinxiu made him feel that his skills could be improved even more.
Lin Jinxiu is also very happy about Zhang Mou's level, he can really understand what Lin Jinxiu said, and he can also give professional advice.
It seems that there is no problem with the decoration of this store.
Because Lin Jinxiu's suggestion gave Zhang Mou a new inspiration, Zhang Mou said that he was not willing to charge Lin Jinxiu's manual fee, only said that it was good to let her pay for the raw materials for building houses and furniture, but if he had more ideas in the future, he must communicate with him.
Lin Jinxiu couldn't resist him, so she had to agree.
With Zhang Mou's help, the reconstruction of Sun Kee Bakery went very smoothly.
The mason and the blacksmith were all acquaintances found by Zhang Mou, and the house that was originally rammed out of earth was completely overturned, so Lin Jinxiu and the mason discussed together to build a brick house in the backyard, and make a simple thatched house that was easy to tidy up.
Lin Jinxiu used the newly bought pen and paper to draw her ideas into design drawings for these craftsmen, because the drawings she drew contained many ideas from modern times, Zhang Mou, the mason, and the blacksmith pouted and studied for a long time before arguing about how to make them.
Lin Jinxiu has not studied design, but she still has an idea of what her home looks like.
Abandoning the traditional ornate bed frame and bed decorations, the simple style of floor-to-ceiling beds and chest of drawers, the never-before-seen simple dresser, the copper mirror, and the supporting bed slats can be lifted, and the dividing space under the bed.
The wisdom of modern people was made a simple summary by Lin Jinxiu, and it did not have the delicacy and exquisiteness of rich and noble people, but it was very in the eyes of Aunt Li and Ning Er.
Cribs, toys that can be rotated on the bed, storage boxes on the table, drawers, those craftsmen looked at Lin Jinxiu's eyes more and more with admiration, but they didn't know that in their eyes, everything Lin Jinxiu invented was what she had ever seen.
Of course, Lin Jinxiu will not be ashamed to say that she invented it herself, she just smiled and said that she traveled with her parents when she was a child and saw it in the distant Persian Empire.
A few craftsmen didn't know what the Persian Empire was, but they couldn't refute it when they heard her, so they believed her.
After a busy day, the design and planning of the entire store were done, and Lin Jinxiu's task was mainly to draw more than 20 design drawings, so she learned art well.
As long as you master how to draw cubes, things that change their shape a little bit are easy to draw.
As for most of the houses and shops, Lin Jinxiu gave them all the authority to those craftsmen.
She also knew that if everything was designed by herself, it would probably refute the face of several masters, and these people were the most skilled craftsmen in the county, so Lin Jinxiu chose to believe them.
"Then please!" Lin Jinxiu bowed to the craftsmen, "Then thank you, masters." ”
The craftsmen were all real people, and they waved their hands in Lin Jinxiu's politeness to say that they didn't need to thank them, and they went to work.
Lin Jinxiu gave the money for the purchase of raw materials to the masters and returned to the inn opened for Ning Er and Aunt Li.
Ning Er and Aunt Li have never slept in an inn, and the two of them have not dared to move since they entered the room, and they have sat upright on the stool so unrestrained.
Especially Ning Er, her eyes flashed with bones, but she still pressed herself on the stool and didn't dare to touch anything, trying her best to show that she was a good baby.
Lin Jinxiu cried and laughed and told them that they had paid for it, and slept casually, before walking back to their room, taking a deep breath of fresh air, and lying on the bed.
Sure enough, the mattress is still good and comfortable.
The mattress under him is actually only two layers, compared to Simmons...... That's not comparable at all.
This mattress is as soft as heaven for people like Lin Jinxiu who have slept on hard beds for a long time, not to mention Ning'er and Aunt Li, who have been poor all their lives.
It was also the first time Lele had come into contact with such a soft bed, obviously very comfortable, waving her short limbs, making a meaningless voice in her mouth, and entertaining herself beside her mother.
Lin Jinxiu lay on her side with her hands on her face, lazily stretched out her fingers in front of Lele to tease him, watching his two little hands stretch upward, trying to grab Lin Jinxiu's fingers, that is really cute, Lin Jinxiu feels that he can play all day.
"Guest, will you bring the food upstairs?" Before he could play for long, the voice of the inn's junior appeared outside the door.
Lin Jinxiu probe shouted to him, "Please help me bring it to the next door, we are together." ”
The little two responded, and the footsteps gradually faded away.
Lin Jinxiu stretched her waist and got up, and moved her shoulders and back before standing up.
All the things I bought today were packed into packages and placed in the store where there was only one prototype, Lin Jinxiu and the others didn't carry anything, and they came to live in the inn easily.
She knew that Aunt Li and Ning Er were definitely more accustomed to living at home, but it was also temporary in this inn, and in only five or six days at most, they would be able to live in their new home, make baked cakes and open a shop again.
Lin Jinxiu picked up Lele, opened the door and walked to the next door, Ning Er and Aunt Li stared at a very rich meal in front of each other.
Lin Jinxiu put Lele on the bed, sat down and looked at the two: "Why don't you eat?" ”
"Sister Lin, you used to be definitely a young lady from a rich family, right?" Ning Er saw that Lin Jinxiu was so calm facing this table of dishes she had never tasted, obviously she had seen the world, "I think Sister Lin has seen everything." ”
Lin Jinxiu shook her head: "Of course not." Ning'er, when you enter the imperial dining room for the first time without screaming, you will grow up. ”
"It can't be!" Ning Er retorted, "Even if an adult enters the imperial dining room for the first time, he will definitely scream!" ”
That's right.
Lin Jinxiu himself can't guarantee that he can be as calm as he is now when he first walked into the imperial dining room.
Maybe she can maintain her demeanor when she goes to the usual big family, but the imperial dining room, what kind of place is the imperial dining room, it is the emperor's territory, and it is absolutely extravagant, which is surprising to everyone.
"Mm-hmm, yes, yes." Lin Jinxiu coaxed Ning'er and pointed to the dishes on the table, "Grandma, Ning'er, eat quickly, otherwise it will be cold." ”
The food at the inn is quite hearty, although there is little meat.
There are still rice and all kinds of green vegetables, and they can be eaten with light salt and little taste.
At least it's better than drinking porridge all day at home and eating leftover baked cakes.
Ning'er obviously liked this meal very much.
After Lin Jinxiu flickered her into eating the first chopsticks, the little girl couldn't stop, sandwiching left and right, this one was delicious, and that one was delicious, until she stuffed her cheeks like a little hamster.
"Eat slowly, Ning'er." Aunt Li and Ning Er happened to be the opposite, she looked at Lin Jinxiu a little anxious with her slow and methodical appearance, and took it upon herself to put several chopsticks in Aunt Li's bowl.
This dish was taken back from under Ning'er's chopsticks, and Lin Jinxiu was afraid that Aunt Li would have nothing in her hands if she ate it slowly.
"It's so delicious!" Ning'er chewed the vegetables very quickly, "I've never eaten so many dishes!" ”
"Eat more if it's delicious." Lin Jinxiu didn't stop her, "Just eat slowly, don't choke." ”
Ning'er nodded like pounding garlic, slowing down very hard, still like a little hamster in a cartoon.
"If only I could do it every day!" Ning Er sighed.
"Absolutely." As long as she doesn't encounter anything like Cui Shao again, Lin Jinxiu can almost guarantee that their lives will get better and better, and she is very confident in herself.
Aunt Li quietly looked at the two little girls living with her.
The two little girls gave her completely different feelings.
Ning'er is like a baby that needs to be cared for in the palm of her hand, and everyone who sees her hopes to preserve her innocence.
Jinxiu, on the other hand, was more mature, and the quiet and tranquil light that came out of her eyes seemed to support the entire collapsed sky.
Is the weight of this day too heavy for this little girl, Lin Jinxiu herself seems to have never considered it, and Aunt Li has thought more than once how good it would be if Jinxiu was a young man.
Lin Jinxiu didn't know what Aunt Li was thinking, she treated Ning'er like her own sister, taking care of, spoiling, and coaxing, and she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what she was doing.
Aunt Li was a little worried.
This Ning'er has reached the age where she can be said to be a matchmaker, if every young man treats her as well as Lin Jinxiu, then won't Ning'er be lonely forever?
Even if you can't find it, you can't make do with it, you must find a reliable man like Lin Jinxiu for Ning'er.
And Lin Jinxiu's situation is a little troublesome, and I don't know where Lele's father went, under what circumstances can I find a man to take care of her?
Aunt Li was like an anxious elder in the family, and she began to worry about Ning'er and Lin Jinxiu.
And the two little girls didn't know that Aunt Li had thought so far, Lin Jinxiu was full of her own career, and Ning Er was full of her Sister Lin.
