Chapter 107 Expensive Ink
In midsummer, in the Peach Blossom, the peach trees that have picked fruits are as paved as a cover. The green trees are lush, and there may be red dragonflies flying low, and birds in the mountains stay and play here.
Zhong Yue and Liu Qinghua settled the final payment, and there were more than 29,000 left forty thousand. The books were very clear. In addition to the wages, there were only some basic water pipes, wires, and even the decorated tiles were selected by the Carey design team. Zhong Yue went into the house and visited the almost completed house.
It is basically nothing different from the expected design drawings, except that it is not a small villa with two or three floors. The decoration style is exactly the same as a villa. Especially the sunroom built on the first floor of the wall, when you look out from here, the scenery of Xiaohe Mountain comes into view. If it is the spring and the scenery is bright, the red mountains and peach blossoms are all over the mountains, how dazzling would it be?
"The old kitchen stove has also been removed. You don't need this stove anyway. I've seen the replaced kitchen utensils. They are all imported from Germany, and there are some electrical appliances. Zhong Yue, your decoration is really not 200,000 yuan, so I can't get it."
Zhong Yue smiled slightly. It was normal. For Ouyang Kaishan, this was probably a drop in the bucket. He shirked his cooperation for him. The 100,000 yuan was worth spending.
The camphor wood furniture and rosewood bookcases were set up by Zhong Yue before, and they complemented the bamboo curtains that could be placed in the sunroom, which were antique.
"Okay, is there anything else?"
Liu Qinghua handed over the key to Zhong Yue and said, "There is nothing else. It's almost done today. A Qiang and a few painters have returned to the county. They have just been renovated, so remember to ventilate more and don't be busy moving in."
"Hey, after you said that, why is there no paint smell in this room?"
Liu Qinghua sorted out some of the bills for the money, "What do you think of imported paint? The price is twice as expensive, and no matter how heavy it is, don't sell it. By the way, go to the backyard and take a look and make it according to your requirements."
Zhong Yue walked through the hall and walked around the yard behind. He saw that the part of the ancient well above the ground had been cut off, with a copper manhole cover on it, locked with a lock.
"After the water pipe is laid, just use tap water inside. Do you think this will happen?"
"Is this lock reliable?" Zhong Yue lived alone. In order to prevent anyone from coveting the stone tablet of his family, he simply sealed it directly, cutting off those people's thoughts. In this way, Zhong Yue would be more at ease when he was away.
Liu Qinghua smiled and said, "Everyone knows that your stone tablet was returned by the Cultural Center. Who cares about an imitation stone tablet? Don't worry, this lock, an ordinary axe and shovel cannot be split, unless he pried up the cement ground."
Zhong Yue nodded and just take a little anti-theft measures.
"Okay, thank you Brother Liu."
Liu Qinghua took out a cigarette, handed it to Zhong Yue, and then shrank it back, "I forgot you don't smoke."
He pointed it to himself, "It is natural to use your money to work, and what else is there to say whether it is hard or not. Okay, I'll take those two small workers back to the county, and just call me if there are any questions."
"Well, let's slow down on the road." Zhong Yue sent Liu Qinghua and others out and walked around the house. It's great to have money. The professional design team and high-end decoration materials really satisfy Zhong Yue.
Test! Yes, I almost forgot my original purpose.
"Does the host's current living environment be detected?"
“Detection!”
"Warm improvement: the test can only be performed once a month."
"I understand, hurry up." Zhong Yue couldn't wait.
After a while, the system sounded, "Does the room inspection be completed, are the data being read?"
"Read."

Achieving the intermediate level of Yashe, congratulations to the host!
Zhong Yue was stunned at first, then was ecstatic. Intermediate Yashe! He actually jumped directly to Intermediate Yashe!
Wouldn't that be...
He quickly entered the system and went to the task interface to check the task rewards.
The mission of the junior Yashe was already flashing. Zhong Yue clicked, and a piece of ink popped out and landed in the parcel. Zhong Yue glanced roughly at the material on the ink pallet and suddenly became dizzy.
Is this Mo Fang?
If it hadn't been prompted before, the task reward was an ancient mo recipe of "five hundred kilograms of oil", Zhong Yue felt that he had gotten a medicinal recipe.
Egg... Do you actually need to add egg white when making ink?
How did ancient people think of it? Egg... Could this be a mistake?
A picture appeared in Zhong Yue's mind. The ink-making master was teaching his apprentice's recipe for ink making. While eating breakfast, the egg in his hand suddenly fell into the ingredients. In order to cover up the embarrassment, egg whites were added to the ink recipe?
Fish skin glue and cowhide glue are necessary. Simple toner cannot be written on paper normally, and it is easy to blur. If the glue is added, it becomes different.
Zhong Yue had never heard of the ingredients after that, including lilac, purple grass, Qinpi, Sumu, white sandalwood, Suhexiang, pearls, etc., and there were about 600 ingredients!
Going crazy!
It actually costs more than 600 to make an ink?
In fact, Zhong Yue is just ignorant. In the real ink making family, there are some excellent ink ingots and more than a thousand ingredients. Some of them are for moisture-proof, moth-proof and crack-proof, some are for smooth writing, and some are for increasing the ink color effect and enhancing the fragrance of ink.
This is why the price difference between ink ingots and chemical ink is so big. A good bottle of chemical ink, adding some preservatives and fragrances can be reduced very low, so it is normal to have dozens of dollars per bottle, but better, the long-term ink ingots are calculated based on the two dollars.
One or two ink ingots, one or two thousand better ones.
So, you get what you pay for. The ink ingots made from so many materials naturally have to be hundreds of streets higher than chemical ink. Of course, if you are just a hobby and just write and play, it will be fine without paying that amount.
Zhong Yue put Mo Fang back into the package and went to see the taskbar. The original task menu of the primary Yashe has been covered by the intermediate Yashe, and the display status has also become a completed status.
"Does the host receive the task reward for the intermediate Yashe mission?"
"Colle it." Zhong Yue felt a little excited when he saw the small yellow notebook in the taskbar.
Could it be the painting method system of Mr. Bai Shi?
Zhong Yue swallowed and opened the package with some excitement. However, when he saw the yellow book as thin as a cicada's wing, Zhong Yue's face became strange.
