After the matter was settled, Shi Fengdu stood up to see the guests off, and at the same time called a manager who was in charge of food for the ceremony to meet Chen Xiao.
The duties and powers of the steward of the Island Lord's Mansion are greater than those of the officials encountered in Jingguo. It is only because cultivators do not establish a country that he is forced to be given the title of steward.
The manager knew that Chen Xiao was specially invited by Shi Fengdu to solve the problem, so he was very polite to him.
After Chen Xiao understood that he was the person in charge, he directly took out fifty kilograms of rock tea and handed it to him.
Chen Xiao gave out large packages of one jin each, and after giving them away, most of the one jin packages were gone. He only had 30 to 40 jin of one jin packages left.
The steward looked at the one-pound tea boxes scattered on the ground, squatted down and carefully opened a corner of one of them. The oncoming tea fragrance and rich spiritual energy made him feel relieved.
Seeing him like that, Chen Xiao couldn't help but laugh.
The steward stood up and smiled at him embarrassedly, "Please wait a moment, sir, I have something else to do." The fact that he could take out so many top-grade spiritual teas at once made the steward mistakenly believe that he was a disciple of some top-grade immortal cultivation family.
Chen Xiao nodded, and the steward put the fifty kilograms of tea boxes into the storage bag. This was just an ordinary storage tool, and it couldn't be kept safe. He needed to immediately put the tea into a warehouse with a preservation function.
Chen Xiao just wanted to take a look at various places in the Island Lord's Mansion. In order to arrange the venue for the ceremony, he needed to have a comprehensive understanding of the entire Island Lord's Mansion.
The person that Shi Fengdu arranged to wait for him at the door took him around the Island Master's Mansion and looked around. Not only that, he also gave Chen Xiao a floor plan of the Island Master's Mansion.
Chen Xiao was looking at a picture in the pavilion high above the island owner's garden when the steward who had just handed over the tea came hurried over.
"So you're here, sir. It made it so easy for me to find you." Flying is not allowed in the island owner's mansion, and running around is not allowed unless it's an emergency. There is a hint of sweat on his temples, which shows how hard it is for him to find you.
Chen Xiao put away the blueprints and said apologetically to the manager: "Fellow Daoist Shi asked me to set up the venue for the ceremony. There is only a month left, and this is..."
The steward showed an understanding expression and said, "I understand, your time is precious." He took out a storage bag from his arms and handed it to Chen Xiao, "This is cedar water from the spiritual pine trees, and the spring water from the spiritual spring Hannao Spring. In addition, there is some source water from Lingshan Hengxi. Good tea needs good water to match. Please take it back for your family to taste."
Chen Xiao was very surprised. The steward bent down respectfully and handed the storage bag to him.
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Xiao thanked him before accepting it.
It was only a pound and a half, that was a favor. Fifty pounds was too much, and it was not easy to repay the favor. Arranging Chen Xiao to be in charge of the venue layout was just a way of expressing gratitude. Arranging the steward to deliver these precious and rare snow water and spring water was barely enough to equalize the value of the fifty pounds of top-grade spiritual tea.
After returning to his residence on Tangyan Street with the blueprint, Chen Xiao finally had time to open the storage bag. The storage bag was not very big, only three meters square, but it contained three huge vats, which were the three types of water that the manager mentioned. From the looks of it, the water in each vat was about three thousand kilograms, which was about 1.5 tons when converted into the measurement unit that Chen Xiao was familiar with.
With so much water, let alone making tea, it’s enough for taking a bath twenty times!
Chen Xiao curiously scooped a cup of cedar water with a teacup and tasted it. It was indeed very refreshing. He thought that the taste and flavor would be even better when used to make rock tea.
Chen Xiao resisted the urge to ask Wan Qing to boil water, and went to bed after washing up. The tea made by his elder brother was too strong, and it was too late now, so if he drank it, he would definitely be sleepless for half the night.
There will be more times in the future when I need to stay up late, so this little while won’t hurt.
After a good sleep to replenish the energy he had previously consumed, Chen Xiao went to the island owner's mansion again with the blueprint in his pocket, full of energy.
This time, he was brought by the person who specially came to greet him. This person's position was a small manager. For more than a month, he followed him and obeyed his orders and requests.
With an assistant who was familiar with the situation, Chen Xiao spent a day carefully touring the Island Lord's Mansion.
In addition to the floor plan for reference, he also scaled it down and drew a simpler and more professional feng shui map by hand.
The island owner's mansion itself is located in a very good location and has good feng shui.
The big positions cannot be moved, nor do they need to be moved. What Chen Xiao needs to do is to make a Feng Shui layout in the Island Owner's Mansion and adjust the structures of various places according to the existing framework.
It was already dark, and Chen Xiao was sitting in the study. There were several floor lamps in the room that were powered by spirit beads, making the room bright.
Du Rong knew that he would stay up late, so he specially arranged for Qian Chuan, Wan Qing and himself to work together to ensure that someone was awake at all times.
Du Rong arranged himself to stay in the early morning when people are most likely to feel sleepy. Before going to rest, he boiled a pot of tea with the cedar water given by Chen Xiao. It indeed smelled better than before.
Chen Xiao held the hot teacup and drank slowly. The sweetness of the rock tea was accompanied by a faint pine aroma, which made the taste in his mouth even richer.
After drinking two or three cups, Chen Xiao reluctantly put down the cup, picked up the prepared materials and started working.
The island owner's mansion was rich and lavish, and it covered an extremely large area. Within its boundaries alone, there was a small mountain, a lake, hundreds of pavilions, and thousands of houses.
Originally, the City Lord's Mansion had a fixed place for holding rituals, which was in a corner of the Island Lord's Mansion. There was a large hall here, and in front of the hall there was a large square, surrounded by a circle of white marble steps. Each step was wide and large, and could be arranged with seats, and could accommodate tens of thousands of people at the same time.
When Chen Xiao saw this number, he couldn't help but secretly marvel. This number of audiences was comparable to a concert.
Chen Xiao had a diagram of the arrangements for previous Dharma assemblies in his hand. He found that there was a lot of space between the guests, and each person had a table in front of him.
If it weren't for such a relaxed arrangement, the venue of the Lunyin Dharma Assembly could have accommodated even more people, tens of thousands of people would be no problem.
But in this case, comfort cannot be guaranteed. Bai Ai has his own pride and is unwilling to reduce the comfort of the guests in order to add space.
Shi Fengdu did not tell Chen Xiao to consider these things, but Chen Xiao habitually thought in a comprehensive direction.
This time, Shi Fengdu gave him a lot of authority. Chen Xiao asked his assistant and was told that it was okay to demolish the palace and rebuild it.
Obviously, Shi Fengdu had learned something about Chen Xiao's work style before arranging him to arrange the venue, and he even knew whether he wanted to demolish or build.
The cultivators were building very quickly, and one month was enough to complete it. But the prerequisite was that Chen Xiao had to come up with a plan as soon as possible.
Dismantling the main hall and rebuilding it on the original site, no matter how it was planned, would only be a change of name. Chen Xiao was not willing to just put a new bottle on the old one and stick to the old routine to complete the reconstruction.
Since Shi Fengdu dared to delegate power to him, Chen Xiao naturally had to hand in a satisfactory answer.
Chen Xiao spread out the floor plan of the island owner's mansion, his eyes wandering over the map, slowly his gaze fell on the lake and did not move.
