Xiao Niangpi finally discovered that this house was not as good as her own mansion.
There is no electricity here.
My mansion has photovoltaic power generation panels, and I have been using them for a year last year. When Yang Fan got married, he installed electrical equipment in the mansion. Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru are already used to electric lights.
There is no electrical equipment here. We all rely on candles or carbide lamps, etc. You can bring your own candles, but I'm afraid you have to buy carbide lamps at Xinghe Supermarket. Although they are bright, they have a smell.
Yang Fan's electrical equipment cost a lot of gold to transport, and it is barely enough for his own use. How could it be placed here?
Once the carbide lamp is turned on, the bathroom is as bright as daylight.
Fenglan put away the carbide lamp and turned around to continue introducing it to everyone.
Under the bright light, the princess found that the walls of the bathroom were not painted, but were covered with porcelain boards. She was immediately surprised.
These porcelain plates look very nice, with embossed patterns, and the walls and floors are paved, making them look very luxurious.
In Princess Le'an's impression, porcelain was used to make tableware and tea sets. She didn't expect that it could be used to decorate houses.
"Everyone, this is a faucet. Just twist it and water will come out." Fenglan introduced.
The water pipes and faucets are made of copper, and they look shiny and golden. Water flows into the wash basin with a slight twist of Fenglan. In the model room, everything has been improved to stimulate customers' desire to buy.
Water pipes and faucets can also be made of cast iron, which is much cheaper. Of course, it is not as beautiful as copper, and it is not rust-proof.
"There is also this one, called a shower head. This thing is used to adjust hot and cold water, so you can take a hot and cold bath. It is used for showering. This is a bathtub. It is made of enamel, that is, the steel plate is glazed and fired. It can accommodate a
People take a bath." Fenglan thought for a moment, then blushed and said, "This bathtub also has a larger size."
The princess and the consort immediately blushed.
When I think about this house, I can take a hot bath at any time, which is such a surprise.
"Everyone, this is the flush toilet." Fenglan introduced.
"This, how do you use this?" the princess blushed and asked the little girl in a low voice.
The little girl laughed, drove the men out, and closed the door.
After a while, after hearing the toilet draining inside several times, the princess came out with a blushing face.
Although the princess was very shy, her expression was very satisfying.
"Now let me show you the kitchen. The kitchen is pre-installed with a double-burner cast iron stove that burns honeycomb briquettes. This comes with the rough house. You don't need to spend money to buy it. This stove can be used to seal the fire, cook or cook.
When there is water, open the air inlet. There is also a hand-cranked windmill to blow the air."
There is no way around it. There is no piped gas or gas tanks in this era.
You can only use the stove to cook. It is forbidden to burn firewood in the community. If it is wet, it will emit thick smoke and pollute the environment. Briquettes are relatively clean, and the waste smoke is discharged from the flue.
Of course, the briquettes have to be carried upstairs. But who can afford Yang Fan's house without a servant? There are plenty of people to cook and do chores. Besides, the coal station also provides door-to-door delivery service.
This house has two floors above ground. The first floor is the living room, guest bathroom, dining room and kitchen. The second floor has five bedrooms, two of which are five meters wide facing south. The master bedroom has its own dressing room and bathroom.
The other bedrooms share a guest bathroom. At the back are three small bedrooms with a width of more than three meters. There are also two small rooms without windows that are workers' rooms.
The underground floor is a semi-basement with windows exposing the ground. This is where the servants live. There is a second kitchen and warehouse.
The entire house is finely decorated, and the furniture is all made of mahogany. There are modern style wardrobes, Ming Dynasty style canopy beds, and step beds.
There is a lift-type chandelier for candles on the ceiling.
The living room has modern sofa-style solid wood furniture with a carpet in the middle.
After several people read it, they all liked it very much.
Then Xiao Niangpi and others looked at the single-story building with great interest, and finally climbed the stairs to the sixth floor and looked at the duplex on the top floor.
"Wow, it looks so comfortable to look out from here." Standing on the seventh-floor terrace, Xiao Niangpi and others exclaimed.
In this era, there are not many high-rise buildings. A three or four-story building is considered tall.
Of course, it is not as high as the Drum Tower or the Bell Tower.
However, it is also very refreshing to watch.
Looking at the capital city from here, you can see far away. After all, there are many bungalows on all sides.
Although this place is not too far from the back wall of the Imperial City. However, to the south is a low-rise villa area, which is only seven stories high. You cannot see the inside of the Imperial City wall.
Moreover, most of the area inside the Imperial City is open space. One mile to the south is Jingshan Mountain, which basically completely blocks the Forbidden City. Otherwise, the emperor would not agree to the construction of this community at such a high height.
The princess finished looking at the unit building and then continued to look at the rough house.
Suddenly there was a feeling of falling from the sky to the ground. The contrast was too great.
It turns out that the model room is so beautiful, but the decoration inside and even every small item cost money. Moreover, the furniture and various materials are available in different grades from low to high.
The princess and his wife discovered that as long as you want to make things better and decorate, you can spend as much money as you have.
Later, I went to the south bank of the river to see the villa. There are two gates here. One opens to the south and leads to Huangcheng North Street. The other opens to the west and leads to Di'anmen Street.
There are two types of villas: independent villas and townhouses. They have three floors above ground and one underground floor. The independent villas also have a yard. The privacy is very good.
The princess is very torn. She likes the feeling of a high-rise duplex. However, for privacy reasons, she and her husband should rationally choose an independent villa.
In the end, she chose a large villa in the villa area on the south bank next to the king's single-family villa.
This villa sold for 12,000 taels, and Yang Fan only charged half the price.
After meeting the princess today, Yang Fan suddenly realized that this villa should not be sold, but should be presented as tribute to His Majesty.
After all, His Majesty did not enjoy modern material life in the palace. Now the princess has bought a villa here. It is very likely that he will pay a private visit incognito to visit the princess. If he does not leave a set for His Majesty, I am afraid it will cause his dissatisfaction. Then
It's so worthless.
Yang Fan can still figure out who is more important, Your Majesty or making money.
After Yang Fan said that the king's villa, which was located in the center and had the largest area, would be presented to His Majesty as tribute, the princess made up her mind and bought the second largest villa next to it.
After all, His Majesty has no brothers now, leaving only two sisters and one younger sister.
The two sisters are, Princess Zhu Huiyan of Ningde, and her mother is Concubine Fu Yi. Liu Youfu, the son of Liu Zongzheng, the deputy commander of the Shangnancheng Military and Horse Command Department in the sixth year of Tianqi. Princess Zhu Huijing of Suiping, and her mother is Concubine Fu Yi. In the seventh year of Tianqi, she married Qi Zanyuan. In the sixth year of Chongzhen, Died at the age of 22.
The only sister is Princess Le'an.
Princess Le'an still had a lot of money. When she got married, her mother-in-law and her brother gave her a lot of property as a dowry.
Concubine Li Kang made a lot of money back then. Otherwise, she would have been accused of stealing the property of Qianqing Palace during the move. As a result, Wei Zhongxian was imprisoned and almost died.
The consort saw that the princess liked the duplex room on the top floor, so he spent his own money to buy a duplex room on the top floor for the princess. If the princess liked it, she could stay there for a while.
Yang Fan secretly gave him a thumbs up, he is such a good man. I must praise him. This apartment is worth 1,500 taels. It seems that the consort's family is quite wealthy.
There is none today, and I will make up for the missing one tomorrow.
