Late at night, I finally returned to the ranch.

It was almost twelve o'clock at this time, but I saw that the rancher's house was still brightly lit, but there was a strange clanking sound coming from inside.

Could it be that Mr. Rhodes came to my house and wanted to demolish it to vent his anger?

I moved closer to the window, only to find that I had misunderstood. There was only Gotz inside, and he was diligently renovating the house even in the middle of the night when no one was around.

I breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door to the house.

"Getz, thank you for your hard work. Why don't you get off work so late?"

Goetz was wearing special work clothes, with his breast pockets filled with tools, and he flattened out a wooden bump on the window frame. He turned to look at me and said with a naive smile: "I was preparing building materials during the day, and I just stayed up all night to finish the last bit."

Construction is under way. Anyway, your place is relatively remote and will not affect other neighbors."

I probed: "While you are here today, has anyone come to your door?"

Gotz thought for a while: "How do you know? Rhodes came here once in the evening, holding a heavy bag in his hand, saying that the gifts inside would be given to you personally, and then left after confirming that you were not there."

After saying that, he sighed leisurely and yearningly: "Although you have only been here for a short time, you are so popular!"

I agreed with a stiff face: "Ahem...that's right. But I will never accept a 'gift' like this. Next time you see Mr. Rhodes, be sure to remember to refuse it for me!"

Gotz continued to laugh and said: "Then you should reject the good offer yourself. The expansion and decoration of the house are basically completed. I will finish it tonight. I won't come to your place tomorrow!"

"So fast?!"

The project just started the day before yesterday, and it will be completed today? The work efficiency of Gotz is as good as that of a construction team, and will he allow all levels of subcontracting to make money?!

Gotz, who was as tall as a bear, laughed loudly, causing the whole room to shake slightly, and then patted my shoulder with his big hands covered in mud.

"With this amount of work, I spent two days striving for perfection!"

After speaking, Gotz, as a professional, gave me an explanation on the spot.

On the one hand, the basic structure of this house has not been significantly changed, and the beams and columns are still used. Only the walls on both sides are removed for expansion, which reduces the time-consuming process of laying foundations and pouring construction. On the other hand, Father Hooker

Initially, the masonry structure was used as the main body, but later it was simply covered with a wooden structure. Therefore, this kind of construction only needs to be processed on the frame, and there is no need to tear down everything and start over.

But I know there is another important factor, which is Goetz’s work enthusiasm.

It's like an ordinary construction team bringing people in. If they agree to come at three in the afternoon, they dare not come until five in the afternoon. After a few knocks, they say it's too late and they will continue tomorrow. They can work one more day and earn more money.

But Gotz has the blood of a deep diver, and his physical fitness can withstand the fighting power of five people. He just wants to finish the job quickly and go back to patrol the mountains and forests, so there is no reason to delay.

Goetz is definitely a qualified builder!

I stood in the center of the house and was delighted to find that the ranch house looked completely different from the past.

"Can't you tell, Gotz, you are so good at interior design!" I admired sincerely.

Goetz said sheepishly: "I just occasionally study popular interior styles."

I couldn't help but sigh, because the originally empty and simple main house was divided into three functional areas under Goetz's construction. Without adding any barriers, it inevitably created a large flat-floor design!

Perhaps because I complained about the narrow area, Goetz demolished the storage room I built without permission, releasing an interior space on the east side near the ranch gate. The integrated area instantly increased the lateral depth.

Now, on the easternmost side of the house, there is my royal sleeping cabin. As a bed, it also comes with a bedside table, an item rack, and a storage box, forming a bedroom resting area, where all bedroom equipment can be found.

Everything is in accordance with the standard of check-in with a bag, and even the bouquet of flowers Lin gave me has been placed in the vase on the bedside.

What is placed in the center of the room is the desk that was originally located by the window, with two armchairs that can be used as a dining table. On the sundries storage shelves placed against the large wall of the room, there are handicrafts carved by me, gold and silver swords and

The jay's animal skin bag and other items, various styles of furnishings occupy one floor each, and the appearance is very different but eye-catching. As soon as the guests enter the door, they can see the richness of my travel collection.

I immediately discovered that this is a very interesting design that can take advantage of the special perspective of the entrance to allow visitors to first focus on the rare items on the display shelves, and then stop at the dining table where guests can socialize.

Just like a beautiful woman can cover up or even enliven other mediocre facial features by relying on one outstanding facial feature, this kind of "attractive design" can make people ignore the private space at the far end of the house, such as the bedroom.

The more I looked at it, the more surprised I became. Unexpectedly, Goetz had secretly transformed from a builder to a designer.

Goetz is definitely an unique designer!

"The space left on the side is..."

Goetz's Law of Attraction is indeed effective. It took me a long time to look at it before I discovered that there was an open space beside the exhibition shelf besides the full-length mirror that was as tall as a person, so I wondered.

Goetz scratched his head and said: "I think a young man like you would always put a TV or something here, leaving a good place for you."

Oh, the TV wall!

When I can turn on the TV with my hands, I have to fill up this empty space!

As for buying? I’d better put on the antenna I owe Mr. Dart first...

"Marcus, why do I feel that you are feeling a little down?" Goetz asked.

"It's okay, I'm just a little upset."

The line of sight finally reaches the west side, which is also the place where the scale of renovation is most obvious. The highlight of this expansion is concentrated here.

I pointed to a square brick platform on the west side of the house, "What is this thing again?"

It's not appropriate to call it a brick platform. It should be said that it is a masonry platform surrounded on three sides and with a gap on one side. The height is just waist high. The design of the waist wall is really clever. Is it an indoor defense structure?

But why is the side of the opening facing the door? Then if I hide inside, I can defend myself against a hammer, and I will be taken away by a gunshot, right?

Goetz must have a reason for daring to design it like this.

As soon as I turned my head and saw Gotz's slightly excited expression, I denied the idea and thought about it carefully.

If it's not a work structure to defend against foreign enemies, could it be a piece of equipment for homeowners to use...

"Is this prepared for me?" I asked.

Gotz said happily: "Can you see it? I know that every household needs it, so I have prepared it for you."

Sure enough, it is for me to use!

What does everyone need? If I have to put it that way, it has to be death and taxes, right?

...could it be said that this is a stone coffin?

It seems that according to this structure, as long as the person is put in and the last brick is laid, it can be buried on the spot!

There's something wrong with this house, isn't it? There's a funeral on one side, a banquet in the middle, and the guests on the other side can take a nap when they're tired. This was clearly arranged for me, so have a good trip!

But not to mention, this statement may sound outrageous, but this design coincides with the layout of this room.

The so-called design pursues harmony, and a harmonious pattern requires symmetry. At this time, the east side of the room is my bed, which is for living; the west side of the room is an unknown coffin, which is for death. One death in life, one withering and one prosperity.

It can be contained in a small room.

Caressing the cold red bricks, I stood beside the unfinished coffin. I already felt a calmness as calm as the earth welling up in my heart, and I faintly began to meditate on all things in the universe...

This Goetz, relying on decoration, can integrate his thoughts about life into it without appearing obtrusive - I want to correct my statement, Goetz turned out to be an artist!

"Gots..."

I said hesitantly, "Although the meaning of getting promoted and getting rich is quite good, and I like it very much, isn't this thing too early? I have only heard that emperors would prepare this thing for themselves at a young age.

Son……"

Gotz said in surprise: "Don't you like this? I thought you would need it very much!"

...Which eye can you tell that I need a small box as my forever home!

But Goetz still said, out of professional ethics: "Okay, I'm taking the liberty. Anyway, it's not finished here yet, I can still tear it down."

God still wants to finish the creation?!

The last failed student who failed to realize his artistic dream slaughtered Europe. My dear, in order to realize his artistic creation, he didn't plan to kill me on the spot and put me in a coffin to complete his work, right?

"Tear it down quickly, I'm scared when I see this thing..." I said quickly.

Goetz took out from his clothes a 40-centimetre-long construction hammer of the same style as Boss Chen.

"I heard from Boss Dart that you are a good cook, but I didn't expect you don't like cooking so much. Then I'll turn this place into a second bedroom..."

"Wait a moment!"

I grabbed his arm and was about to smash it, "What did you say this place was for?"

Gotz said blankly: "It's the kitchen."

...It turns out to be the kitchen. Then why does it have such a suspicious shape!

Goetz continued to explain: "This is the most popular open kitchen nowadays, and it is connected to the restaurant. If you don't like it, forget it. The ranch can really consider building a kitchen outside the house to reduce cooking fumes."

"emmm... I suddenly feel that it's acceptable. Put down the hammer first. Even if I don't like the fumes from cooking, I can still explode, simmer, deep-fry, cook, pan-fry, simmer, stick, mash, burn, stew, and simmer.

, baked, grilled, braised, smoked, baked with salt, roasted with mud, braised, stewed, stewed, boiled, steamed and rinsed!”

"Okay."

Gotz became happy again, "Look, tell me when you decide to use the kitchen. I will connect the sink faucet and countertop here, and you can put all the kitchen utensils on it."

After that, he pointed his hand towards a wooden door on the westernmost side of the house: "Connect the water pipe from here."

Behind this ordinary wooden door is the newly built single room in this house.

I opened the door and took a look, and sure enough I saw the bathroom I had longed for!

The reason why it occupies the area of ​​a single room is because it adopts a three-separated bathroom design, which separates the three functions of bathing, toileting, and washing, while maintaining one area. Although it is inevitable to "borrow space" from the kitchen and bedroom,
To be continued...
