Chapter 333 Buying Floor Tiles

After leaving the hospital, Zhou Chenglei took out some strawberries for Jiang Xia to eat, but he only took two because he was afraid that she would not be able to eat.

A new restaurant has opened in the city, and it is quite big. We saw it on the way here. Zhou Chenglei drove a motorcycle to take Jiang Xia to the newly opened restaurant for dinner.

The dishes were ordered by Jiang Xia. Jiang Xia wanted to try many of them, but in the end he only ordered two braised pigeons, a serving of beef with tomato and egg, and a vegetable.

Squab and beef are both foods that are rarely found at home.

So when you go out to eat, it’s better to eat something that you don’t eat much at home.

Zhou Chenglei also ordered a coconut stewed chicken soup.

After they had eaten, Zhou Chenglei took her on a motorcycle to pick out floor tiles and ceramic tiles.

Fortunately, I bought a motorcycle and it is much more comfortable to drive around than a bicycle.

The two came to a place in the city that sold tiles.

The first impression of Jiangxia is its colorfulness, with many old-fashioned tiles, like a kaleidoscope, and a sense of age.

Zhou Chenglei pointed to a kind of red brick and asked Jiang Xia: "Is this brick used on the first floor? It is moisture-proof and absorbs water."

It just doesn’t look good and has no pattern. I don’t know if Jiang Xia likes it.

They live by the sea, and the weather is humid for several months a year, especially in spring.

Nowadays, the floor of old houses is made of compacted mud, so it doesn’t feel damp, but it’s different if you lay floor tiles, as they are prone to water leaking out.

The boss heard this and said, "Yes, this kind of red brick is moisture-proof, absorbent and cheap, and is most suitable for the first floor."

Jiang Xia asked: "Are there any other moisture-proof bricks?"

"This kind of red brick is the most moisture-proof. Now everyone likes to make terrazzo floors. The one under my feet is not as moisture-proof as red brick, but it is also moisture-proof. This is very popular now, and many people in the city make it. There are many colors and different patterns. There are red, green, and yellow. In the light ones, you can see the pattern of the stones. Look, how beautiful!"

"And this is convenient. It's not like laying floor tiles, where you have to caulk the seams after laying them. Doesn't my floor look good as a whole?"

Jiangxia was not really interested in choosing terrazzo flooring, as this type of flooring will be mostly used in hospitals and schools in the future.

"Then use red-step bricks for the first floor." Practicality is more important than aesthetics.

Even if it is red-step bricks, not many people in rural areas are willing to lay them now. A cement floor is enough.

"Okay." Zhou Chenglei responded, and then said to the boss: "Use this red brick for the first floor."

Jiang Xia took a look at the other floor tiles. There were many patterns on them, mostly geometric and floral patterns, and there were also several mosaic patterns.

Today's floor tiles are not very big, and some patterns are made up of four small square tiles.

Jiang Xia doesn’t like fancy styles, she prefers simplicity, but she can’t always choose based only on the style she likes.

The decoration trends in each era are different, and people of this era will definitely prefer the trends of this era.

She asked Zhou Chenglei: "Which brick do you like? Should we choose the same one for the second and third floors or different ones?"

Zhou Chenglei: "I'm fine with either, just pick the one you like."

Jiang Xia: “…”

"Pick out a few and I'll choose."

After hearing this, Zhou Chenglei knew that she was overwhelmed and didn't know how to choose.

When the boss heard that they also had second and third floors, he knew they were a big customer, and then he actively introduced the latest patterns and colors that would look good when laid out.

Zhou Chenglei didn't listen to him. He picked out a few styles that he liked, either without patterns and solid colors, or with the simplest patterns.

Jiang Xia didn't like complicated things, so he picked a brick without any pattern, similar in color to the wooden floor.

I picked another one with a large dark green diamond in the middle and white triangle patterns on the four corners. This one is very characteristic of the era.

She was thinking of picking one with brighter colors, which her child would probably like.

After all, the color of wooden floors is relatively calm.

These two types of floor tiles also happened to match the colors of the two sets of sofas and cabinets she had previously liked.

The floor tiles are the same in both the rooms and the hall.

Then to the tiles in the toilet and kitchen.

Jiang Xia chose white porcelain tiles, which have no patterns and will never go out of style.

The most important thing is that the other patterns don’t look good to Jiang Xia.

For the bathroom floor tiles, I chose the kind that looks like a mosaic pattern, and I also chose a green mosaic pattern.

"Do you want external and internal corner lines?" asked the boss.

Jiang Xia looked over and said, "The outer corner line, inner corner line and ceramic tile are not the same color!"

"It's like this, it won't be obvious when you put it on."

Jiang Xia thought, the color difference is so big, and it's not obvious? It's better not to have it!

"Not for now." She would then see if the tile installer would bevel the edges of the tiles.

Zhou Chenglei pointed to a bathtub and said, "Is there a bathtub on every floor?"

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Boss: "This is imported. It's super comfortable for bathing."

Jiang Xia took a look and said, "No, this is not practical."

Zhou Chenglei: "It will be convenient to give the children a bath and take a medicinal bath in the future."

When Guangzongyaozu and his brothers were young and had a fever or a cold, their mother would often find some raw herbs for them to make a bath, and their colds would be cured after the bath.

Jiang Xia thought the same thing and said, "Then why not install one? There's no need to install too many. When you don't use it, you'll feel like it takes up space."

Zhou Chenglei: "Two, one for the second floor and one for the first floor."

He wanted to install a bathroom in their room for him and Jiang Xia to use.

Seeing how persistent he was and that he liked taking baths, Jiang Xia let him do as he pleased.

boss:……

Rich people! Definitely rich people!

There are so many bathtubs.

This thing is so expensive! The boss asked again: "Do you want to tile the walls of the living room? If you tile half of the walls of the living room, the walls won't be so dirty, especially for families with children."

Zhou Chenglei: "Then stick it on."

"Do you want a toilet or squat toilet? This toilet is also imported. It is very convenient to sit down to use the toilet! Especially for the elderly and pregnant women, they don't have to squat until their feet are numb."

This couple is so young, they probably don't have any children yet? If they can afford to buy two bathtubs, they wouldn't mind buying an extra toilet, right?

Zhou Chenglei: “Yes.”

"Want a wash basin?"

"want."

…

Zhou Chenglei was worried that Jiang Xia was too tired, so the two of them spent an hour selecting the floor tiles and ceramic tiles for an entire building.

At this time, there is no door-to-door measurement service.

But Zhou Chenglei knew what was going on. He reported the number of square meters, the boss calculated the number, and paid half of the deposit first.

The whole house has three floors, plus the kitchen and some floor tiles in the yard, tiles for the flower base, bathroom equipment for the three master bedrooms, bathroom equipment for three public bathrooms, decorative tiles for the main entrance and courtyard gate, and tiles for the courtyard wall. A preliminary calculation showed that it would cost more than 5,000 yuan. I don't know if it's enough.

It's mainly the courtyard wall and the yard, which haven't been built yet, so it's hard to calculate accurately.

After buying the floor tiles, the two went back to Jiang's house to visit Jiang's father and mother. They stayed at Jiang's house tonight and would return to the village tomorrow.

Zhou Chenglei had already called Jiang's father in advance.
