Chapter 19: The Style of the Seat (1)

At the north end of the left is the wine cellar. Various wine racks made of logs are neatly arranged in the interior. Some shelves have stored all kinds of fine wines and wines collected by Xi Dad, Xi Yixiao, and Xi Yidi. Xi Yizheng plans to take out some of the fruit wine and flower brew in the Xuanbang after a while and store it in the wine cellar, so that it can be enjoyed during the festival.

In the middle of the north end, there is a storage room dedicated to storing pickled food. Because the basement is cool and dry, foods such as ham, bacon, and bacon can settle down in the Xi family for a long time. These foods are Dad's favorites. In the past, the family was small, there was no place to put it, so I could only eat a little and buy a little, but now it's okay, such a large storeroom, and it's not too much to store as much as you want to store in winter.

The one on the far right at the north end was specially prepared by Xi Yizheng for Xi Yizheng. I heard her say that if she wants to engage in the jadeite industry, gambling on stone and calcite is indispensable. So, she was left with a studio dedicated to storing jadeite wool and calcite. A set of calcite tools purchased by the previous trustee has also been delivered and placed in place. Xi Yizheng was nailed to the studio with the door number of "Zheng Zheng" in front of this door, and his heart was full of emotion. She just inadvertently revealed that she had such a plan, and her parents unconditionally supported her and began to worry about her. That's love, right? They don't say it, but they care everywhere.

There is a narrow passage for two people between the north and south rooms of the basement, and at the end of it is a staircase leading to the first floor above ground.

From the ground, the whole villa has 2 and a half floors, the lower two floors are 600 square meters, and the third floor is a half-story with 280 square meters. After paying for the house, he said that the third floor was Xi Yizheng's territory. The renovation was also supervised by herself. At first, Xi's mother still didn't understand her, but when the renovation was halfway through, she was relieved, and as soon as the decoration was over, she began to regret why she didn't let her daughter do it on the two floors downstairs.

The first floor has a hall, dining room, kitchen, reception room, common study, two bathrooms, three maid's rooms, and two storage rooms. When the house is big, it definitely needs to be cleaned and managed, and Xi's parents also need someone to take care of the three meals when they are old. So at the beginning of the construction, all of this was taken into account.

The entrance is the hall, about 150 square meters, simple European design, but with not pure white but beige decoration, because Xi Yizheng said at that time "white is too pure, but it lacks the warmth of home". So, with a wave of her hand, Xi's mother decided to use beige as the main color on the first floor. Beige marble floors, beige khaki cowhide sofas, beige floor-to-ceiling curtains with wisteria flowers. Even the shaft of the crystal chandelier is beige metal. There is a piano in the back of the sofa, which is Xi's mother's favorite. When you have a song, you can even play and sing it to the whole family when you are happy.

To the west of the hall, there is a restaurant, and there is no partition between the 60-square-meter restaurant and the hall, but a log trellis is placed as a demarcation, and a pot of daffodils is swaying on the flower stand. The dining room is also simple and elegant, with a long dining table that can accommodate 8 people, and two rows of low cabinets on each side of the table, which is convenient for placing some snacks and other things related to dining. The wall to the north of the dining table is a floor-to-ceiling window. Transparent glass, fresh beige background pink green pattern of floor-to-ceiling curtains, outside the window is the backyard of birds and flowers, not far away is the irregular lovely pond, and there is a dense fruit forest as far as the eye can see.

Yes, in the final stage of the overall renovation, Xi Yizheng planted a large number of fruit trees in the northeast of the backyard, saying to his family that he had bought them, but in fact they were removed from the bracelet. In addition to the persimmon trees, which are not planted here, there are more than 10 kinds of fruit trees that can be found in the bracelets, including apples, oranges, pears, dates, cherries, apricots, plums, bayberry, peaches, longan, chestnuts, etc., and 6-7 of each are selected. When autumn comes, the fruity flavor is enough to attract the eyes of many adults and children. Xi Yizheng squinted his eyes and imagined what the woods would look like in a few years and a bumper harvest of fruits. Xi Yizheng also dug a small vegetable plot of about 30 square meters in a hidden corner of the woods, and planted some tomatoes, cucumbers, cowpeas, garlic, radish, potatoes, sweet potatoes and other vegetables that are convenient for cooking, which is enough for his own consumption.

And with this vegetable patch, it is convenient for me to often take out the vegetables in the bracelet. After all, it is far away from the vegetable market, and travel and shopping are definitely not as convenient as before, so that people can avoid people's eyes. On the periphery of the woods and the field, Xi Yizheng asked Xi's mother to customize a few stone benches and place one every 10 meters. When the weather is nice, you can sit here and smell the fruit and bask in the sun.

The kitchen is located on the left side of the dining room and is a mix of Chinese and Western styles, with an area of about 60 square meters, separated from the dining room by four sliding doors 1 meter wide. The cabinets are also uniformly beige, and the floor tiles are pink and green with a beige pattern. The wall tiles are beige with a pink-green pattern. The two echo each other. The Chinese and Western layout is divided by two large sinks, and on the left of the sink is a Chinese-style kitchen layout with a gas stove embedded in the countertop; Above hangs a range hood; There are also electric cookers, cutting boards, rice cookers, etc. in turn. In the corner of the sliding door on the left side is a built-in double-door refrigerator. To the west of the sink are Western-style kitchen utensils, including induction cookers, electric ovens, microwave ovens, and other non-fume-free utensils. In the corner of the sliding door on the right is a built-in single-door refrigerator, which mainly holds cold drinks.

Under the cabinets are brand-made sterilizers, dishwashers, rice boxes and other utensils, as well as a variety of dishes. The wall cabinet above is used to store food items such as dry goods that do not require refrigeration. On the opposite side of the cabinet is a half-height marble cooking table, 1 meter wide and 3 meters long. On it is a pot-bellied vase with a bouquet of sunflowers of different colors in it.

Next to the kitchen is a 25-square-meter food storage room, where dry goods that are not needed for the time being, grains, fruits and other foods that cannot be put in the kitchen are all grouped here.

To the left of the pantry is a maid's bathroom. 15 square meters in size, but wet and dry partitions. There should be a lot of facilities inside.

On the left side are the three maid's rooms. Located at the westernmost end of the first floor of the villa, it is actually not small, each room is 20 square meters, and there are beds, cabinets, and desks inside. It's twice the size of Xi Yizheng's room when he was in the faculty building, and the house he built himself, the room is correspondingly bigger, otherwise it feels ugly.

Look again to the east of the hall. In the middle of the hall is a spiral solid wood staircase leading to the upper and lower floors, 2.5 meters wide. The first room east of the stairs is also a 30-square-meter storage room, which places some tools and equipment used in special periods: such as tables, tables, chairs, etc., which are needed to hold a self-service cocktail party at home.

On the east side of the storage room is a 70-square-meter common study, which has two sets of single sofas and a small solid wood coffee table in the middle. Two large desks facing each other, two comfortable office chairs. On the table, there is an LCD desktop, a mother-child telephone, a printing and fax machine, and a scanner. Since one wall of the study has floor-to-ceiling windows and on the other a set of sofas and access doors, only one wall behind the desk serves as a built-in bookcase. Because each suite upstairs is equipped with a private study, the bookcase in this room is only for public reference books, such as various dictionaries.
