Chapter 152: Chinese style design with bamboo weaving and bamboo furniture…
Chapter 152
Lin Mujin went to the Central Stars again, but this time it was much emptier.
Because everything that could be demolished had been demolished.
Lin Mujin took a pen and paper and drew a simple diagram.
How is she considering decorating now?
It is naturally easier to find a decoration team to take care of everything.
But it costs money and the quality is difficult to guarantee.
More importantly, she didn't have much money.
So the most cost-effective way is to do it yourself as much as possible.
Fortunately, she has the vision of two lives and is barely capable of completing this task.
In my past life, there were so many videos on Douyin about how to avoid/fall into pitfalls in home decoration. Although I don’t remember all of them, I have a general impression of them.
She wanted to write down all her requirements and plans, and then find a professional designer to draw up the design.
After you are satisfied, you can find a construction team yourself, buy the building materials yourself, and supervise the construction team.
This was the most balanced way she could think of to achieve both design effects and save money.
Start at the restaurant door.
As the facade of a restaurant, the front door certainly cannot be too bland.
Make sure your guests have a memorable experience.
She thought of some videos that talked about the aesthetic taste of our ancestors, which usually involved contrasting three ancient colors and then producing a rendering, which was always amazing.
She also thought of some restaurants that have cute big things in front of their doors for guests to take photos and check in.
For example, Iron Man, Bumblebee, Big 3D Lucky Cat, etc.
She wants to get one too.
It's so gimmicky.
Write it down and mark it with a five-pointed star.
The next step is the door plaque. This time I definitely can’t let cousin Lin buy the wood and carve it himself.
She can't do cartoon characters anymore.
I have to pay a fee for writing it, ah~
As for the overall decoration style, she has also thought about it: Chinese style and bamboo.
It’s simple, just to save money.
Bamboo screens are used for partitions, as well as various types of bamboo, such as asparagus fern and lucky bamboo.
You don’t have to buy luxurious lamps. Use bamboo as the frame and rice paper or silk for the outside to create a lantern with a strong sense of antiquity. You can also write a few words on the paper or silk to add more flavor.
Bamboo can also be used for roofs.
Bamboo can also be used for tables and chairs.
In her previous life, she watched videos and realized that there were so many things that could be made using bamboo as a material.
It is not as crude as everyone imagines, that is, bamboo tables and stools made by simply nailing several bamboo joints together.
Moreover, bamboo is woven into thin filaments to form tabletops and stool seats, and the surrounding areas are decorated with bamboo joints, making the overall look particularly luxurious and beautiful.
Yes, it seems to be bamboo.
Another five-pointed star for emphasis.
Walls can also be decorated with bamboo.
Next is the toilet, let the designer take care of that.
However, it also needs to combine ancient and modern elements.
It means that it has to have a toilet and a shampoo basin, and it has to look ancient and classical.
She was a little confused.
Some decorations in the house can be made with interludes and porcelain vases with flower arrangements.
Lin Mujin walked around the stars four or five times, and then made a decision. After the book was published, she signed her name and immediately set off inland.
She won’t go to Guangdong this time, and the chef will have to wait in line. She wants to find a professional designer.
I also need to buy bamboo furniture and some porcelain.
These are obviously cheaper to go inland.
——————
Lin Mujin took the documents to various government offices to apply for documents.
This is also considered as the first time is strange, the second time is familiar.
555 is still leading the way, which works very well.
If they ask for expedited processing fees or something like that, don't hesitate, just pay directly, so it went pretty smoothly.
On the day when all the documents were obtained, "The Four Noble Truths" was officially published.
Lin Mujin went to Boyi Publishing House early in the morning and didn't come out for the whole morning. Her hands were cramped from writing.
In the afternoon, I went to the Hong Kong Chinese Society with my cousin Lin again. They had come here once before to apply for an extension of time, but I don’t know whether it will be approved.
The efficiency is a bit low. It takes five working days and it's only the fourth day.
The result was good. It was approved and extended by ten days, which means they can stay in the inland for seventeen days, which is enough.
Next, we also need to figure out how to ship the large quantities of purchased items back to Hong Kong.
After Lin Mujin and her cousin Lin separated, she went to consult Lawyer Li.
He really knew.
There are three methods. The first is to carry a portion with you personally.
Secondly, it can be mailed, but there are certain restrictions. It must be within the tax-free amount, otherwise customs duties must be paid.
If she wants to buy live bamboo inland, she will need a quarantine certificate, which is very troublesome.
Lin Mujin listened to the advice and immediately removed the living bamboo.
You can buy it in Hong Kong anyway, it’s just a little more expensive.
Third, you can also ship goods, but you have to find a professional freight company, declare it to the customs, and provide a detailed cargo list.
Lin Mujin thinks it is most convenient for one person to carry it with him, but unfortunately there is no space, otherwise there wouldn't be so much trouble.
"Ms. Lin, has Jinshi started renovating?" Lawyer Li inquired.
Lin Mujin replied, "It's just been demolished, and the design drawings will take some time."
Lawyer Li smiled and said, "Be sure to notify me when the business opens."
Lin Mujin nodded, "Of course. Lawyer Li, my martial arts book is published today. I'll give you a copy. If you don't like it, you don't have to read it."
She took out two volumes from her bag and handed them over.
Lawyer Li took it with both hands and said, "Thank you. I'll take a look at it."
Lin Mujin said modestly, "It's okay to use it to kill time. By the way, Lawyer Li, do you have Mr. Qin's contact information?"
She promised to give him a signed set of books.
Lawyer Li seemed to have just remembered and took out a piece of paper from the drawer. "This is his phone number in Shenzhen."
Lin Mujin took it and said, "He went inland."
I was very happy that this person listened to my advice.
They are partners, and she sincerely wishes each other success.
By then, with his help, she will be able to invest smoothly in the inland.
Put the phone number paper in your bag and write it down in your diary when you get home.
She might need to buy a new notebook just for phone numbers.
Installing a telephone at home must also be put on the agenda.
I have to talk to the fat landlord and see if I can trick him into doing something else.
"Ms. Lin."
Lin Mujin immediately came back to her senses and played with her hair to hide her embarrassment. "Sorry, I was a little distracted just now."
Lawyer Li was very relaxed. "It's okay. I just wanted to ask if the restaurant has any other difficulties. I know Qin Zheng also has shares in Jinshi, but he won't be returning to Hong Kong for a long time, so you need to take care of everything. If you encounter any problems, please let me know."
Lin Mujin immediately thought of something. "I'm looking to recruit a few skilled craftsmen from Guangdong to work in Hong Kong. We need work visas. Mr. Qin told me I need to apply as their boss first, and the government will approve it. However, it's likely to be blocked, so I need to pay some money to smooth things over. How much would be appropriate?"
Although I wasn't going inland to find the master chef this time, I still asked in advance so that she would have an idea.
As for asking Li Lu for help directly, forget it. Spending some money is much cheaper than owing a favor to someone.
