Chapter 316 Three Designs
Shang Ruoting had completely mastered how to make roast chicken, and then Mrs. Shang began to teach her how to make roast duck.
Although the process of making roast duck is a bit complicated, Shang Ruoting still learned the essence through repeated experiments.
She spent three consecutive days making roast chicken and roast duck.
Even though the family ate her cooking for every meal, there was always some leftovers.
It just so happened that Tan Chen had finished drawing the blueprints and was ready to take them to Zhuang City for Zhou Ergu to review. Shang Ruoting simply brought a roast chicken and a roast duck as gifts for her.
The gift is one thing, but Shang Ruoting also wants Zhou Ergu to cooperate with her after tasting the delicious food.
The two of them didn't have anything to transport when they went to Zhuang City this time, so they chose to take public transportation.
After getting off the long-distance bus, Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen went directly to the South Street Grocery Store and met Zhou Ergu in the office.
Zhou Ergu had been looking forward to the two of them coming, and she hoped that her new house could be built soon.
Now I see the young couple coming over, I can’t tell you how happy I am.
Shang Ruoting knew that Zhou Ergu was anxious to see the drawings designed by Tan Chen, so she did not let her taste the delicious food she brought immediately.
Tan Chen came up with three design plans in total. The exterior appearance of the houses was basically the same, but the interior designs were different.
Shang Ruoting has been busy learning how to cook delicious food these days and has not looked at the drawings drawn by Tan Chen. Now the three drawings are placed on the desk. Not only is Zhou Ergu full of praise for them, even she, a soul from the later life, couldn't help but secretly praise them.
Zhou Ergu looked left and right, and felt that the three designs were so perfect. For a moment, she was at a loss.
Seeing this, Tan Chen quickly introduced the advantages and disadvantages of several designs.
"Director Zhou, look at this first drawing. It's more suitable for a large family. It has four neatly arranged rooms, each with its own door, making it easy to get in and out. However, there's one downside: you'll need to use multiple stoves to keep warm in the winter."
"The second drawing is similar to my house. It's convenient for heating in winter, but it has two fewer doors. I'm not sure if it fits your family's population."
"And this third photo, I connected the two middle rooms together to use as a living room, with a bedroom on the east and west sides. This design is more suitable for families with many guests."
In addition, Tan Chen also drew simple styles of furniture in the rooms in each design drawing, so that people can imagine what the interior of the house will look like after it is built.
After listening to Tan Chen's introduction, Zhou Ergu was no longer so conflicted. Although she liked every style, she still chose the second one which was most suitable for her family to live in.
Tan Chen was very meticulous in his work. Although he didn't know which style Zhou Ergu would choose, he had already calculated the necessary materials in advance.
He pointed to a string of numbers at the bottom of the second blueprint and said, "Director Zhou, here are the materials needed to build this house. If you plan to start construction immediately, you can start preparing them in the next few days."
Zhou Ergu nodded, picked up the drawing and looked carefully at the numbers below.
"Okay, I'll arrange to buy the materials tomorrow. Once they're ready, I'll go to Sihe Village in person to let you know."
After the matter of building the house was discussed, Shang Ruoting took the opportunity to chat and pushed the roast chicken and roast duck she brought in front of Zhou Ergu.
"Director Zhou, this is my homemade roast chicken and roast duck. I brought it over for you to try."
In fact, Zhou Ergu had already smelled the fragrance in the house, but she was anxious to see the drawings designed by Tan Chen, so she resisted asking.
Now, Shang Ruoting brought the food to her, and Zhou Ergu couldn't say no.
"Haha... I was drooling just now when I smelled this. Now I have to taste it carefully. What kind of roast chicken and roast duck are these? They smell so delicious."
Shang Ruoting walked forward and opened the paper packages of roast chicken and roast duck. The food inside was still hot.
This was sent into the space for preservation after Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen left Sihe Village, in order to ensure that the roast chicken and roast duck would still taste as delicious as when they arrived in Zhuang City.
After arriving at Zhuang City, they found an opportunity to take them out. This way, Zhou Ergu could see these two delicacies at their most delicious.
In order to avoid Zhou Ergu's suspicion, the two had already thought of an excuse. Before arriving at the South Street Grocery Store, Shang Ruoting took out a clean old cotton coat from the space, pretending that it was wrapped with delicious food.
In addition, the weather outside is warm, so it is not surprising that the roast chicken and roast duck are not cold at all.
Zhou Ergu looked at the shiny roast chicken and roast duck, and without hesitation she tore off a chicken leg and started eating it.
Then, her eyes widened: "Ruoting, you said this roast chicken was made by you yourself?"
