"Jialan, why do you need so many carpenters to maintain the library?"

Alan looked at the carpenters busy on the large grass outside the library, they kept laying wooden stakes about the thickness of an arm's length on the grass, and then according to the drawings drawn by Jialan, they made large, long triangular "pointed hats", which looked like rows of large "umbrellas" from the side.

"Because the space in the library is too small and the light is dim, in order to make it easier for everyone to have a place to read books comfortably, I plan to build some 'book sheds' on the grass...... Well, Alan, you should go and get ready with your little sister, our 'Kemo Book Bar' can be partially opened today!"

Jialan casually answered the girl's question, and kept looking at the small square table that the carpenters were making, the small square table was very small, the smallest was only two feet long, just enough to put down a book, some pen and paper, and a drink, and enough to sit alone to read.

There are also larger ones, two-person tables, four-person tables, eight-person tables, and even long enough to seat a hundred people, but these tables are distributed in different positions in the front and back of the large library.

Small round tables, like them, are usually scattered next to large trees, under the corners of the library's façade, or on secluded steps, often obscured by a large parasol made of white-painted tarpaulin.

Perhaps in order to maintain a quiet reading environment, the open space around the large library is reserved, and there is a large forest of thick and dense ancient trees in the back, so there is enough space for Jialan to decorate.

For many days in a row, in addition to reading a large number of books in the library, Jialan was studying the exotic devil called "management and management", and the exotic theory mentioned in his mind, although he did not dare to say that he had completely mastered this strange theory, but he could be regarded as having learned some lessons from it.

The information derived from the phrase "self-management, self-financing" is too huge, so huge that if Jialan does not disclose it to the outside world, others will not be able to understand it even if they see it, so Jialan decided to take the risk and try it.

The originally gloomy ancient trees and forests were cleared of dense weeds, clumps of shrubs, and a thick layer of humus on the ground, which exuded an unpleasant smell of corruption, not only did it look much cleaner and smoother, but it seemed that the gloomy and terrifying atmosphere had also been cleared away along with the dead branches and leaves.

The moss on the ancient trees was washed away by the water magic apprentices hired by Jialan, and the dense umbrella-like ancient trees were also pruned by a large number of hired gardeners, so that the branches became thinner, and the sunlight could be projected through the cracks, forming a strange bright pillar of light in the woods, and the stars were as beautiful as the stars.

On the ground, the wood magic apprentices gave birth to a green and soft lawn, and the flowers that were deliberately born were either blooming alone, or gathered together in small handfuls, giving people a very strange and natural feeling.

With the climate, grass and flowers in the area where [Coran City] is located, it can probably maintain its luxuriance for more than two months, and it is actually not cost-effective to plant grass and flowers at this time, but Jialan doesn't care, what he needs is to create something called "style" and "atmosphere", and wants to see if this kind of exotic devil mentioned is useful.

What he's doing now can be regarded as a low-risk spell test.

The pruned old tree no longer looks so dull, and after removing the dense thin branches, the thick and mottled branches look energetic and have a unique charm.

In particular, after Jialan asked the carpenters to make some small wooden house-style nests and move the original nests in the woods into them, the birds that had been frightened by the large number of gardeners pruning the branches flew back and unceremoniously occupied the small houses that were hanging from the branches, and the melodious bird calls made the place full of life.

Jialan was surprised by the change in atmosphere brought about by this subtle change in the environment, before that, those little birds chirped, no matter how they sounded, there was an eerie and poignant feeling.

The branches of the ancient trees were thick enough to carry a considerable weight, so Jialan asked the carpenters to build a spiraling wooden ladder around the ancient trees, a small platform with wooden planks between the branches, and a table and chair to create a peculiar reading seat.

And those ancient trees that were thick enough and huge, Jialan simply asked the carpenters to build large and small tree houses on them, and soon, the originally eerie library forest became a beautiful and strange place like an elf tribe.

Although most of the areas are still under construction, the sheds and round table areas in front of the main entrance of the library are already ready for use, and the staff and students who have been borrowing books during this time are curious about what the new librarian intends to do.

The academy even sent someone to inspect it, but because the project did not involve the main body of the library, nor did it destroy any of the original environment, but only sorted it out, so there was no reason to stop it, which was within the scope of the librarian's own rights.

Instead, the small round tables and wooden sheds were already visible to the new librarian, who seemed to be planning to move the reading area that had been inside the library to the outside.

No librarian in the history of [Kemo University] has ever done this, so there is no school rule that says it can't be done, so the fire management can only wait and see how things develop.

The main reason why the school cannot interfere is probably because the renovation project of the college's large library did not consume a copper dan from the school...... The library's funds have not yet been allocated, and all the expenses are paid by the administrators themselves.

The most interesting thing is that the staff sent by the school to check inquired, but they were surprised to find that the seemingly huge project is spread all over the library area, and the cost is actually surprisingly low!

Ten gardeners were employed, and the daily salary was 5 silver jims, and only 5 quintalans were paid a day.

Ten carpenters were hired for a daily salary of 1 gold taran, and a total of 100 apprentices they brought with them only had to pay 1 silver jim a day, so a total of 20 gold taran was spent in total.

The materials used were just branches pruned by the gardener from the ancient grove behind the library, because they were thick enough to be cut open enough to make planks that could be used to make a wooden shed.

And those small square tables are even more simple and outrageous, simply cutting branches of different thicknesses in half, nailing two wooden strips and a few legs with small branches and leaves, polishing the table top smooth, and it becomes a small table with the fragrance of trees.

This unpainted log table looks as ugly as a child's patchwork of building blocks, but when placed in the furnished environment, it is filled with a pristine natural atmosphere and is unusually harmonious.

In particular, the botanical fragrance of the wood that has not yet been stripped of its bark makes you feel as if you are in a peaceful nature.

In this way, in fact, the new administrator only pays the salary of hiring carpenters and gardeners, although the old woods behind the library, those treehouses are still under construction, but the investment is not too large.

Just when everyone was wondering what the new librarian was trying to do, a strange log cabin run by a group of girls opened, and they hung a small wooden board sign outside the cabin with the words "Kemo Book Bar" and a series of price lists.

The girls changed out of their pale blue magic robes, but put on black puff-sleeved tops, short skirts, pink aprons, and hairpins decorated with furry ears.

One of the bold boys approached and asked with a hippie smile, "What are you doing here, students?"

This is a new service provided by the big library, which can be used as a reading place for everyone, as well as drinks such as black tea, milk tea, coffee and fruit tea, as well as some snacks. Also, if you're coming for breakfast, lunch or dinner, we have some light meals ......"

The girl who was asked smiled sweetly, bowed slightly politely, and said: "By the way, if you want to borrow any books, you can also tell us the title or book number, and we will pick it up for you. ”

This fresh service model, so that the students of a burst of surprise, [Kemo University] students, although they can borrow books freely with the academic emblem, but to go through the borrowing procedures, but a little troublesome, there are such gentle and lovely students of the kind service, convenient or inconvenient not to say for the time being, at least it will make people feel very good.

In addition, in the past, the library did not provide tea and meals, and during lunchtime, students who came to borrow books often had to return the books first, then walk all the way to the college cafeteria to eat, and then walk all the way back in the afternoon to go through the borrowing procedures, which was very complicated.

When the [Kemo Book Bar] opened, it was about eleven o'clock in the morning, and it was almost lunchtime, and the boy who asked was very interested in trying it, so he said curiously: "Then please help me borrow the book "The History of the Gilago City-State Era", I don't remember the book number, and help me have a simple meal and a cup of milk tea you said." ”

The girl who was questioned immediately went to work, took out a wooden clip and ink pen with a pile of parchment paper, and walked out from behind the counter, which immediately aroused the astonished eyes of the onlookers.

In this era, most women are accustomed to wearing long skirts or formal tufts, except for some sexy and unrestrained female adventurers or mercenaries, it is rare to see women show their arms and legs, but this girl wears elbow-length puff sleeves and knee-length black skirts, revealing a pair of delicate arms and a pair of slender white calves.

The young and beautiful girl, cute and a little sexy, but not revealing at all, immediately attracted the same young male magic apprentices.

"Please tell me your student number and sign it at the back, and please come with me, and I will arrange a seat for you, and if you have a meal, I will bring it to you with the books later. ”

The girl held the plank in front of her chest with one hand, and led the way with the other hand, and her snow-white and delicate arms and the black clothes on her full chest formed a strong color contrast, which made the boy's eyes a little straight.

"Today's set menu includes the new cheese beef Coburg bun, the double layer of crispy fried chicken thigh giant Coburg bun, red bean pie, apple pie, cheese chicken wrap...... Wait, you can mix and match your drinks!"

The girl smiled sweetly, and led the somewhat soulless boy to a small square table: "If you are alone, I suggest you order a cheese beef coburger bun + cheese chicken roll + milk tea package, which can be cheaper than a single order of one silver jim and two copper dantin, and the second cup of drink is half price!"

"Oh oh! Just do as you say!"

The boy sat down at the small square table in a daze, and didn't hear what the food was at all, but looked around with some confusion: "Isn't the table here a random place to sit?"

The girl quickly wrote down the food the boy wanted on the parchment, and explained very responsibly: "Yes, in order to avoid disturbing other guests, these small square tables are for the use of those who order, if you are just borrowing books, you can go to the long table area over there......"

The boy looked at the long table, and then at the small square table in front of him, and for some reason, a sense of superiority arose, and he sat there triumphantly waiting for his meal under the watchful eyes of the onlookers.

Soon, a simple-looking, but novel, dish was served on a wooden plate, and a copy of the History of the Gilago City-State was placed in front of him.

"For the sake of your health and to keep your books clean, it is recommended that you use this wipe to wipe your hands before and after meals. ”

The girl smiled sweetly and bent down her slender waist, and kindly and carefully taught the boy how to eat the food wrapped in cabbage leaves, which was a round bread cut in half, sandwiched with a piece of ground beef patty, a thin slice of cheese and two lettuce leaves, very simple, but it tasted good and was very convenient.

"What is this? Coburg bag?"

The boy was surprised to pick up the cheese beef coburg bun wrapped in cabbage leaves, and after looking at it, he took a big bite, and the girl opened her small mouth, trying to remind him that in fact, the cabbage leaves outside were only used to wrap food, not to eat.

However, Administrator Jialan said, "The customer is a god, and all the customer's behavior is correct...... As long as they can afford to pay. ”。

So the girl decided not to tell the truth about the guy who was very happy to gnaw on the cabbage leaves, but just smiled sweetly: "Yes, Coburg buns are a new fast food developed by a senior chef of our [Kemo University]!

The boy's mouth was full and he muttered, "Mmmmmmmm

"A friendly reminder to you, please be careful not to stain the books during the meal, otherwise we will charge a book cleaning fee! ”

The girl smiled and stretched out a tender white hand: "Xie Lu Xie! a total of 15 copper danding!"

The boy paused for a moment, hurriedly put down the half-gnawed Coburg bag, hurriedly took out a silver Jim and five copper Danding, looked up at the smiling girl, and put the five copper Danding back with some distress, took out two silver Jim and put it in the girl's palm, pretended to be generous and waved his hand: "The rest is your tip as a school girl!"

"Xie Lu, Senior Xie!"

The girl bowed her knees slightly and ran away with a smile!

Although the boy felt that the cost of this simple meal was not too cheap, he felt that the money was well spent, and smiled proudly at the guys who were still watching, and continued to eat this simple meal in the college cafeteria, and the price was probably not more than a silver jim.

Someone took the lead, and soon a large number of students who were going to lunch poured under the wooden shed, and a large group of girls in butterflies in short skirts poured out of the hut and walked to their respective areas of responsibility, recording the books, meals, and drinks that the student customers needed.

After about two hours, the thousands of seats under the wooden shed were filled with students who had finished their meals, and they were back in a quiet state of reading, more than five times more people than usual in the library!

After all, they are all students of [Kemo University], and their quality is quite good, even if they need anything, they just raise their arms to signal, and after attracting the attention of the girl who is nearby, they whisper their needs, although there are many people gathered, but they still maintain a relatively quiet environment.

The fifty girls who had just finished their work gathered together behind the cabin next to the wooden shed, and while watching Alan, who was in charge of collecting the money, count the noon expenses, they discussed in a low voice how much they had gotten tips.

"I have 43 copper dantins!"

"Ahh

"Hee-hee, I've got 51 of them, half of Kintaran!"

"It's not fair, it's not fair! Why would you do so much?"

"I don't know what to say, but the smile should be sweeter, the voice should be gentle, and maybe the tip will be more!"

"Hmph, why are all the people I meet are stingy and reluctant to tip?"

Just when the girls were giggling and playing, Ailan suddenly exclaimed, covered his mouth, and said in disbelief: "159 Quintalan 04 Silver Jim 03 Copper Danding!"

The girls were silent, and their eyes widened in surprise, just selling those simple ingredients, and they didn't even use any cooking skills, and they actually sold nearly 160 gold talans at noon?

And there are not many people who come to borrow books today, but there are only more than 1,000 people, which means that almost all the students who came to borrow books have stayed!

If all five wooden sheds that can accommodate 1,000 people are opened, plus the small square table areas scattered around the area, and the wooded area behind the library...... Wouldn't it be able to accommodate nearly 20,000 people at the same time?

Even if only one silver jim is consumed per person for one meal, three meals a day is 6,000 gold tarans, and a month is ...... Oh my God! The girls almost screamed!
