Others didn't understand what they were doing, but they were all in the field of Yunxi, so they didn't ask any questions. Some people on the other side guessed what was going on, and they all felt baffled. It's not raining on this day, how could it be possible?
To prevent mudslides?
Regardless of whether they were watching the excitement or watching a joke, Liu Xingzhi's plan was still being carried out here without cutting corners at all.
After the foundation is ready, it's time to build a house. Liu Xingzhi has also prepared glutinous rice, slaked lime and the like. All he needs to do is mix the glutinous rice mortar and lay the green bricks layer by layer. Windows and doors are all ready.
It was done later, and now it is mainly about building the main outline of the house.
In contrast, Liu Xingzhi's side was much more troublesome. In order to prevent people from seeing the internal situation, the courtyard wall was pulled up first, which successfully blocked everyone's view. The first thing built after entering the door was the complex
The ward can also be used as a guest room, and the construction is quite satisfactory, which is okay. The second step is more troublesome, and the main troublesome point is repairing the kang. They all rely on the stove to survive in the winter, and they didn't know there was such a thing as a kang.
But the person who built it was Liu Xingzhi. Others didn't know how to do it, so the two of them had to make a bed by themselves. When it came to the main room, it was even more troublesome. Not only did they build the bed, but they also built the fire wall.
Different rooms have different styles. Not only that, all the rooms are made of colored glaze, not just a small piece, but all in one large piece. But this thing has almost caught up with the cost of the house.
However, Yunxi didn't feel bad about it at all. It would be enough to demolish a few dormitories, and it would be useless to keep it anyway. As for the others, she wanted to provide it, but she couldn't bear the fact that they were worried about the money and were unwilling to use it, so she could only leave it at that.
The main house is a two-story building. The first floor is equipped with a fire pit and a fire wall, and the second floor is an ordinary bed. It is said to be ordinary for modern people, but in ancient times, it was the first time. The reason why it is built like this is
Liu Xingzhi planned to live upstairs when the weather was hot and the wind would cool him down. When it was cold, he would live downstairs. As long as he burned the kang and the wall, he wouldn't feel cold at all.
Because of the complexity of the repair, although his family used the most people and was the first to build it, he was the last one to complete it. It took him a full twenty days of work day and night to make the yard basically usable.
The reason why it is basically visible is because compared with where Liu Xingzhi lived before, if Mrs. Liu and others could see it, it would be so beautiful. As soon as the heavy wooden door is opened, there is a screen wall. However, because the screen wall requires a scholar-bureaucrat or above
Before it could be used, Yunxi directly replaced it with a screen, which looked pretty good.
Next to it is an inverted room, mainly for slaves and the like. Going around the screen, there is a corridor connecting the east and west wing rooms. At present, only the west wing room has been built, leaving the east wing empty. We will decide whether to build it later.
, bypassing the side rooms, we arrived at the main house. There was a two-story building that Liu Xingzhi spent a lot of money to build. There were supposed to be wing rooms on both sides, but they have not been built for the time being. Behind them is the back room, which is used by the two of them.
To make a warehouse.
After this house is built, it goes without saying that it will be private. Once you get in, you don't have to worry about being exposed to wind or sun. Verandas have been built wherever you need to walk.
There is an open space in front of the reverse seat room, and Liu Xingzhi directly used bricks to level it. If he needs a larger open space in the future, he can place it here, and it can also be used as a martial arts arena.
After entering the screen wall, a pool and rockery were built. The water is living water, imported from the Qiushui River. If you put some fish in it or plant some lotus flowers, it will definitely be very good in summer. In addition, a pavilion was also built at the highest point.
It's great for keeping cool in the summer. However, because no flowers or plants have been planted, it looks bare, but even so, people can't help but admire it. Even the county magistrate may not be able to live in such a nice house.
Yun Xi watched the house being completed step by step. Because she was not the one who designed it, she was quite shocked. On the other hand, she was also convinced that Liu Xingzhi really wanted to give her the best thing he could.
.
Those furniture looked a little strange to others, but she felt very friendly when looking at them. Putting the new Chinese-style furniture in the room did not look out of place, but it matched well, especially the shelf. If you put some antique porcelain, it would look very good.
It's not bad.
What surprised her the most was that the room was actually covered with a wooden floor. It was made of oak. If it was waxed, it would not be much different from modern solid wood floors.
After reading this, Yun Xi just felt very sweet in her heart. If she didn't take it into her heart, she wouldn't have put so much thought into it.
After the things were done, they didn't move in immediately. First they had to light the fire wall and the kang to dry them out, and they also had to make some arrangements.
But this didn't bother her. She made the curtains herself. Although her craftsmanship was average, but combined with her original memory, she could still sew the curtains. There was one layer of white gauze and one layer of cloth. The colors were chosen quite elegantly to match the room.
It goes well inside. Although there are sofas and chairs, there are no cushions. In this era, there were no sponges and no springs. It is a bit difficult to make them modern, but it is easy to make soft pillows and cushions.
She had a lot of cotton and cloth in her hands. She matched the colors well, made a cotton pad cover, and put a few pillows on it. It looked very comfortable. Now that the kang is burning, the room is not cold, so she can lie down
It was very comfortable on it. There were no floor mats in the space, but there were many blankets. She chose one with a harder texture and placed it on the ground next to the sofa. There was a small tea table on it, and she lay on the sofa while reading.
While eating some fruit from the tea table, it’s quite beautiful to think about.
There is nothing too out of the ordinary in the living room. The chairs and the square table for tea are no different from those here. This is also because if someone comes in, no clues will be found. As for their bedroom, people generally do not let people come in and out at will.
So you can boldly put something different.
In addition, there is a washroom on the other side specifically for bathing, and there is a toilet in the back corner. After using it, just flush it with water and it will be clean, although it is not as good as a modern toilet.
Yes, but it is much better than the previous dry toilets. The flushed part is in a large wooden barrel, which needs to be cleaned every few days. Now that there is no chemical fertilizer, farmyard manure is the best thing.
The kitchen is placed in the west wing. It is not small, almost as big as Liu Ji’s kitchen. There is also a dining room next to it. You can bring it over to eat after doing this to avoid getting cold. There is one in the main room.
A small stove, for heating soup or the like, is still fine. She can use it wherever she wants in the future.
Yun Xi was very satisfied with the garden she had built. Seeing that she was satisfied, Liu Xingzhi was also very satisfied. After all, it cost a lot of money. It looked different, but this time he basically gave away the silver reward Liu Xingzhi received.
