Chapter 166 Workshop Renovation Completed
Both veteran cooks had large old scars on their legs and feet. One was a knife wound, and the other was a burn wound. Both restricted the movement of their joints and muscles, making it difficult for them to walk.
Dr. Charles arranged another rehabilitation program for them, which would progress more slowly, so they were walking here from another, flatter path.
They wiped their sweat with the hot towels handed to them by Jericho, washed their hands, sat down, and began to enjoy their late breakfast.
"How is it, is there any hope?" Jiangyou looked at the dog that was circling anxiously next to him and asked for Andre.
"Yes, I hope so." Dr. Charles, starving, took a bite of the sandwich and his eyes lit up instantly. "Oh! Goddess Dreyar, this sandwich is so delicious!"
He took another big bite before continuing, "Although I've missed the best time for rehabilitation, it's not incurable. Using magic to activate the cells near the scar, coupled with proper exercise, I can recover to my normal level of activity over time. It may not be as good as before the injury, but at least I can catch up to a normal person's level."
"However, this treatment is very time-consuming and painful. The numb old scar pulls on the nearby muscle fascia, causing severe pain. Add to that the activated cells that begin to grow, and it will be extremely numb and itchy. It requires a very strong willpower to continue with the treatment."
The two veterans looked at each other with determination on their faces: "We can do it!"
"Yes, I will definitely be able to persevere!"
"If this treatment plan proves viable in testing, it can be extended to more injured veterans," Jiang You said with a smile. "You two must work hard. Your success will bring hope to even more people!"
The two of them suddenly became serious: "Make sure to complete the task!"
After the meal, everyone packed up their things and took a carriage back to the brewing workshop. Those who needed to enjoy their vacation did so, while those who needed to go back to work went back to work - such as a certain lord who had transformed into a human form.
As Takumi Yuu clacked and skipped to the front of the shop, he ran into the troll construction team coming out of the old shop. Ferias raised his furry paw and greeted Takumi Yuu, "Boss Yuu! We're done! Come and inspect it."
"Ah, that's great!" Jiangyou's eyes suddenly lit up with orange soul fire. She looked up and watched the trolls remove the curtains surrounding the old house. As the gray-black cloth fell, the newly renovated and brand-new brewing workshop appeared before her eyes.
The building was still a half-stone, half-wood structure, but the trolls had replaced and repaired the damaged and worn bricks and rotten wood, and repainted and oiled it. Even the signboard made by Andre was repainted, and it gleamed in the sun.
The doors and windows of the workshop were all replaced with dragon crystal. The trolls also made diamond patterns on the crystals, which not only looked good but also added some privacy.
The first floor still follows Jiangyou's plan, retaining a spacious storefront and re-arranging rows of shelves to store the sauces produced by Jiangyou: soy sauce, fermented black beans, fermented bean curd and fermented bean curd juice, fish sauce... The shelves made by the trolls are large and sturdy, firmly fixed to the ground, and there is no need to worry about them being accidentally knocked over by people or wind.
There are spacious aisles between the shelves, and a widened road is left in the middle of the store to facilitate people's entry and exit.
The counter and small bar inside have been preserved, and Jiang You plans to continue selling drinks such as Witch Beer here. A set of beer alchemical storage and cooling equipment has also been installed under the counter, so that ice-cold beer can be poured directly from the beer tap on the counter, which really makes the place feel like a bar.
The "illegal" buildings added by Andre have also been expanded and integrated: the bread oven is still retained, and the small open-hearth kitchen has been expanded and has its own cashier counter and takeaway window. In the future, this place will sell roast meat, fried chicken, braised food, egg waffles and other snacks that are convenient for takeout.
The open-air dining area outside the store is still retained for customers who have bought takeout food to sit and take a rest.
The original kitchen, small dining room and storage room inside the counter underwent a relatively thorough renovation. The original walls were demolished and their positions were adjusted.
Now the kitchen has been moved to the right corner of the house. Not only has the area been expanded, but a small window has also been added. The dining room has been moved outside the kitchen. The depth has been lengthened and the horizontal distance has been shortened by half. However, the rose window that Jiangyou liked is still retained. The dining table has been replaced with a large one, so ten people can dine here without any pressure.
A brewing laboratory was added to the space to the left of the small restaurant. The door of the laboratory entrance is connected to the small restaurant and is also made of dragon crystal.
The room was rectangular, with a large, temperature-controlled dragon crystal window. Fermentation racks lined the inner wall, hooks for hanging filter bags were nailed to the ceiling, and a hearth in the open space held the Crucible of Time... The bottling machine Takuyu had inherited from the witches was also placed here.
The whole room was full, but it didn't feel cramped. Jiangyou felt that these trolls were simply masters of space utilization!
The basement was converted into a storage room. After all, it is warm in winter and cool in summer, making it the best place to store things.
Since the original kitchenette was eliminated, the existing kitchen, restaurant and brewing laboratory all occupy part of the original kitchenette area.
To make going up and down the stairs easier, the door to the stairwell was moved directly to the left side of the store. The vending machine that was originally placed here was relocated to a new location near the task board. Because there was an extra space in front of this door that once belonged to the small kitchen, keg racks were built along the walls on both sides to store beer kegs, leaving only a passage in the middle for people to pass through.
This new door is also made of dragon crystal and has a small sign hanging on it saying "No entry for non-staff members". After passing through the door, you will reach the stairwell leading to the second floor and the basement.
The area behind the stairwell was also expanded. The original back door now connected to a small stone hut. Opening the back door, one could see a corridor. On the left side of the corridor were newly built dressing rooms, bathrooms, and toilets. On the right side of the corridor was a new "back door" leading to the backyard, as well as a huge, adamantine-made magical water tank that could automatically heat and keep water warm.
When this stone cottage was built, the trolls removed the dead grass and trees in the original back garden, leveled the land, and laid complete sewage facilities.
From now on, the wastewater in the bathroom and the excrement in the toilet will flow into the underground fermentation pool. After passing through a series of magical fermentation and alchemical purification equipment, the generated gases will be deodorized and harmless before being discharged. As for the flammable gases generated during fermentation, they will be extracted by the alchemical purification equipment, converted into fire elements, and transported to the magic water storage tank for use as fuel for boiling water.
After fermentation, the fertilizer will automatically flow through the pipes into the newly added fertilizer box in the backyard, and the liquid will be purified into pure water before entering the irrigation bucket. In the future, when Jiangyou wants to fertilize or water the fields in the backyard, he can directly use the fertilizer and water sources from the fertilizer box and irrigation bucket.
