"It seems that we want to go to one place." Xu Qing said he was not surprised at all.
There are also many beautiful and vulgar scenery in the city of Zhuozhou. Lianhu is one of them. But Lianhu is only a small lake, which is not one-third of Xinghu. But every summer, the lake is full of lotus flowers of various postures, attracting scholars and scholars to come boating around the lake and enjoy painting.
The area around Lianhu lake is open. Every year, under the willow trees, there are a lot of activities to fight for literature. Along with the shops around Lianhu lake, most of them are bookstores, painting workshops, four treasures of the study and so on.
But this elegant place, with open area, picturesque scenery, not compact houses, excellent lighting, quiet but not remote, is the first choice in Xu Qing's mind.
Li Changting drew a trapezoid on the paper, which is short in the top and long in the bottom. On the opposite side is Lianhu, with streets on both sides, and the last side is also a street. This trapezoid has a very large area, but the price is very cheap. Even if Xu Qing bought it all, it's no problem.
Li Changting: "don't you mean to accept apprentices? Apart from the shops in the front, we can build a lot of houses in the back. To accept apprentices, you have to have a place for them to study and stay."
Xu Qing compared the area of the land and found that it was enough to open a shop, stay and accept apprentices.
Xu Qing said: "the shop is facing Lianhu, but it's long enough to build five shops. We have to have two storefronts for our own shop. Hao Wei and Xu Ying open a restaurant nearby. The place is not small. In the end, the rest can't be built into a wall. What a waste."
Li Changting: "then build three smaller shops, rent them out, and build a row of two-story buildings, which looks neat and grand."
Xu Qing: "how big is our own yard?"
Li Changting: "draw out a piece of land behind the shop and build it according to the pattern of the mansion."
Xu Qing understood what Li Changting meant. They brought a big yard here. Hao Wei's restaurant must also have a big yard behind it. Then they even brought a yard with the three shops in the restaurant.
The yard of the three shops is the same size. As for how big the yard Hao Wei and Xu Ying need, let them decide for themselves.
Behind this row of yards is the place Xu Qing used for apprenticeship and training. Let alone apprenticeship, it's no problem to build a processing factory.
Xu Qing gave the shop a serial number. Her own shop was No.1 shop, and Hao Wei's No.2 shop, followed by No.3, No.4 and No.5 shops of exactly the same size.
Xu Qing in the middle of the trapezoid, spent two parallel lines to keep up with the bottom.
"How can there be no back door in the backyard? An alley should be built between these two lines to facilitate the passage of carriages. After all, we usually need to buy something."
In this way, the trapezoid will be cut in half horizontally.
The place is big enough for Xu Qing to toss about as much as he wants. They talked about it late into the night. The next day, Li Changting went to Lianhu and inspected it. After confirming that the land is now ownerless, he went directly to Zhao Jian to buy it.
Hao Wei and Xu Ying also went to see it. They both felt that the place was spacious and beautiful. Who said that the restaurant must be built in the downtown area. In such an elegant and peaceful place, many guests who like peace and beauty would be attracted.
After Li Changting bought the house with a lot of money, he recruited 20 people to rebuild the dilapidated house.
Houses are being built everywhere in the city of Jizhou now. The manpower and materials are very tight. If there is no money, they can only be built in a row later.
Both Li Changting and Xu Qing have the same amount of money. Since they want to build, they should build the best. Money and materials are not a problem.
Hao Wei and Xu Ying come to cook for everyone during the day, supervise the work and recruit some people by the way.
Yu Boming specially sent two experienced masters to guide Li Changting's work.
Li Changting goes out clean every day and comes back covered with dust.
After taking a bath, Li Changting said to Xu Qing, "I've decided with the master what to build. There are Yu Boming's people over there to help me. I don't have to go there any more."
It's not in vain. Xu Qing always remembers to give Yu Boming a share of what's good, and helps her solve a lot of troubles at the critical moment.
After the affairs on this side of the city have been handled, Xu Qing and Li Changting are also ready to go back to their hometown.
Xu Qing borrowed a carriage from Yu poming and loaded his luggage. The next day, Duanmu Xiang drove the carriage and left the city with Xu Qing's family.
Xu Qing put the sleeping baby into the space, let Li Changting into the space to watch, she lay down on the carriage.
At noon the next day, Duanmu ring drove the carriage into Changxi village. When everyone saw that they were acquaintances, they asked if Xu Qing and Li Changting had come back.
The road in the village was wide and unobstructed, and the carriage drove directly into Li Jinmei's yard. Xu Qing and Li Changting got out of the carriage with their children in their arms.
As soon as Li Jinmei saw the child in Xu Qing's arms, she burst into tears and couldn't help falling into tears.
"Sister, we're back."
"Well, just come back." Li Jinmei is so happy. She is always worried about Xu Qing who is pregnant. She always feels that Xu Qing is not around when she is pregnant or giving birth. She is very remorseful.At the beginning, when Xu Qing asked someone to send a letter to her family, she shouldn't read the two acres of sweet potatoes in the field. She should go to Xinghu with that person with the burden!
Li Jinmei greets Xu Qing, Li Changting and Duanmu Xiang into the room. Cao Laoliu goes to unload the things on the carriage.
In the room, Li Jinmei poured warm tea for the three. Xu Qing told her not to be busy. It's not that outsiders are so polite.
Li Jinmei smiles and carefully hugs the child from Xu Qinghuai: "it looks like a pavilion. The eyebrows and the nose are carved out of a mold."
After a while, Xiaomei, who was playing outside, heard that her aunt and uncle had come back and ran back quickly. Before she entered the door, she cried out, "uncle! Aunt
Li Jinmei stares: "keep your voice down, don't scare the baby."
Xiaomei quickly covers her mouth, and then looks at the white and fat baby in Li Jinmei's arms. Her eyes are full of doubts.
"This is a baby born to my uncle and aunt. You see, she's just born. She's your sister. You have a sister!" Li Jinmei sat down to let Xiaomei have a look at her baby.
"Sister? WOW! I have a sister! " Although xiaomeizi was excited, she lowered her voice wisely. She only cried low for fear of scaring the baby.
"Can I touch the baby?" Asked little plum.
"Wash your hands. You can't touch it until it's clean." Li Jinmei said.
Xiaomeizi ran to the kitchen to wash her hands.
Xu Qing said with a smile: "xiaomeizi is still so lively and lovely."
Li Jinmei shook her head: "since I didn't go to school, I have been playing wild."
Although little dragonfly is not afraid of strangers, she will cry after being hugged by unfamiliar people for a long time. Li Jinmei hugs her baby for a while and returns it to Xu Qing.
