Although because Tian Haitang withdrew from the competition of "Singer", Xu Kai no longer had to run to Xiangnan, and Xu Kai was also finished in the crew of "Escape", and there was one less place to check in, but Xu Kai became busier during this time.

After more than two months of construction, the road in front of Gate 1 of Seremban Village is ready for traffic - not completely repaired, but the section of the road on the left has been repaired, and it will take about a month to complete the construction.

Because it can be opened to traffic, Xu Kai decided to find someone to clean up No. 1 Furong Village.

Unlike Xu Yun and Cui Min, who look down on the old mansion at No. 1 Furong Village, Xu Kai feels that this old mansion is quiet in the middle of noisy, and it is a big manor like a paradise if you clean it up, and it is a good place that is difficult to buy even if you have money.

In addition, after all, this old mansion was left by the ancestors of the Xu family, and for the descendants of the Xu family, it has extraordinary significance, at least Xu Kai thinks so.

Besides, unlike living in other places, you have to worry about being secretly photographed and followed, and after the road in front of this old mansion is repaired, as long as you send someone to guard this road, no paparazzi will be able to go up and photograph this easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack halfway up the mountainside, and Xu Kai can have a pure land that is not disturbed by outsiders.

This last point is particularly important - Xu Kai's private life is too indecent, if he doesn't have a private space of his own, he won't be annoyed by the endless paparazzi in the future?

In addition, Xu Kai's family also has a large population, Xu Kai, Dong Ye, Dong Ni, Yang Xinchun, Yang Xindong, Tian Haitang, Qi Qiaoqiao, plus Xu Yun, Cui Min, Xu Li, Tang Yun, Xu Mai (although they don't live here, the place must be set aside for them, in case they want to come back to live one day), plus Tieliang, Ding Ergou, Li Dongsheng and Li Zimei and other more than a dozen bodyguards, a total of nearly 30 people, and there are not so many people living in ordinary places.

All in all, Xu Kai is ready to make Furong Village No. 1 his base camp.

In this way, Xu Kai is bound to clean up No. 1 Furong Village.

After all, in this old house in disrepair, many facilities and settings can no longer keep up with the times, and even lack a lot of necessary facilities and settings, such as no parking lot, like no swimming pool, like no bathroom, as well as Yang Xindong's singing room, Tian Haitang's kitchen, Dong Ye's gym, and so on......

In addition, Furong Village No. 1 is too big, even if Xu Kai's family has a large population, they can't live in such a big place, and if it is not re-annexed and redesigned, it will cause a big and chaotic situation.

Xu Kai inadvertently told Zhu Bing that he wanted to repair No. 1 Furong Village.

Zhu Bing was very enthusiastic to introduce Xu Kai to the famous Xiangshan Gang.

The reason why the "Xiangshan Gang" is called the Xiangshan Gang is located in Xiangshan, Suzhou, on the shore of Taihu Lake, which has produced construction craftsmen since ancient times, and is good at complex and delicate traditional crafts, and is known as the "Xiangshan Gang Craftsmen".

The history books once recorded: "Jiangnan carpentry craftsmen are all from Xiangshan". Whether it is the Suzhou garden with one step at a time, or the magnificent imperial mausoleum, it is inseparable from the figure of the "Xiangshan Gang Craftsman".

It can be said that as an architectural school that has been inherited for thousands of years in China, Xiangshan craftsmen have been in the history of Chinese architecture for thousands of years, leaving many masterpieces, such as Chengtianmen, the three major halls of the Forbidden City, and the Lion Forest in Suzhou......

It is said that the most expensive mansion in China now, "Suzhou Peach Blossom Spring", is also from the hands of the Xiangshan Gang.

Moreover, the exclusive secret gardening skills of the "Xiangshan Gang" have also been officially included in the "Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity".

Therefore, listening to Zhu Bing say that she could find someone from the "Xiangshan Gang" to help her build No. 1 Furong Village, Xu Kai was really a little flattered.

Under Zhu Bing's introduction, Xu Kai met Yang Genxing, the provincial inheritor of architectural construction skills, and his apprentice Gao Huoyuan.

Yang Genxing and Gao Huoyuan, who have established themselves with their skills, have participated in dozens of large and small ancient construction projects in the past 40 years, and Suzhou Taohuayuan is one of their team's masterpieces.

Yang Genxing and Gao Huoyuan were full of praise for Furong Village No. 1 after seeing No. 1 Furong Village, they said: A big house, a courtyard, a rockery, a circle of old trees, a pool of lake, although made by people, it is like the sky opens.

Out of respect for history and practical considerations, Yang Genxing and Gao Huoyuan's master and apprentice helped Xu Kai an ingenious renovation plan, so that Furong Village No. 1 not only retains its antique flavor, but also is close to modern life.

It can be seen that although the people of the "Xiangshan Gang" are ancient skills, they are not inflexible.

Xu Kai was extremely satisfied with the transformation plan proposed by Yang Genxing and Gao Huoyuan's master and apprentice.

That is, Yang Genxing and Gao Huoyuan's master and apprentice told Xu Kai that according to their ideas, the total cost of transforming Furong Village No. 1 may not be less than 100 million, and it may even reach two or three hundred million, which makes Xu Kai a little painful.

(The specific cost has to be determined according to what materials Xu Kai wants, Yang Genxing and Gao Huoyuan's team are only in charge of labor, and they recommend materials but do not contract materials.) ）

To be honest, Xu Kai is really hesitant to spend 100 million, or even 200 million, or even 200 million or 300 million to repair an old mansion.

But after Yang Genxing and the designers of Gao Huoyuan's team gave Xu Kai the renderings, Xu Kai no longer hesitated.

No way.

The people of the Xiangshan Gang are too good at marketing.

On the renderings they made, the placement of each tile and the treatment of each corner followed the ancient techniques and were placed and processed by hand.

They designed No. 1 Furong Village, a collection of 5,000 years of beautiful architecture, and finally presented a collection of lakes, gardens, houses, courtyards, living and social functions in one, every shape, building materials, and craftsmanship in the garden all imply the unique aesthetic taste, social ethics and family etiquette of Chinese culture.

It can be said that the No. 1 Furong Village they want to present has long gone beyond the scope of architecture, but is a world cultural heritage with magnificent weather and abundant accumulation.

It will open up the memories buried deep in the deepest part of Xu Kai's cultural psychology, and open up the humanistic complex hidden in Xu Kai's happiness.

It was difficult for Xu Kai to say a "no".

In the end, Xu Kai signed this repair contract with Yang Genxing and Gao Huoyuan's team.

For the upfront cost alone, Xu Kai paid 10 million - this is just an advance payment for the labor costs of the craftsmen of the Xiangshan Gang.

After Xu Kai paid the money, Yang Genxing and Gao Huoyuan took their team to move into No. 1 Furong Village.

Looking at these nearly 100 craftsmen with an average age of more than 60 years old, Xu Kai was not only relieved to hand over Furong Village No. 1 to them, but also worried about whether their old bodies could hold up.

After taking the time to observe for two days, seeing that these old people were still very energetic, and they were walking on the roof as if they were walking on the ground, Xu Kai was completely relieved.

But—

Because of the need to repair No. 1 Furong Village, this involves a lot of financial resources for Xu Kai - since the arrival of Yang Genxing and Gao Huoyuan's team, Xu Kai has simply spent money like water, and sometimes, one or two million is spent in three or two days.

The key is that this involves a lot of energy from Xu Kai.

Later, Dong also felt sorry for Xu Kai and took the initiative to help Xu Kai take on the task of supervising the repair of No. 1 Furong Village.

This liberated Xu Kai from this matter......
