Chapter 68 Decoration
The two chatted until very late, and Xie Shuangbai was so sleepy that he could hardly open his eyes.
Zhao Dunzi was originally sleepy, but now he felt refreshed after hearing what he said.
"How about we squeeze in tonight and tell me more about that bathroom."
As soon as Zhao Dunzi finished speaking, he was dragged out by Rong Ye.
He looked at Xie Shuangbai, whose eyelids were trembling with sleepiness, bent down, carried him to the bed and put him inside, while he lay outside, just like they did every day at home.
After all, the inn was not as comfortable as home. Xie Shuangbai turned over and hugged his doll as usual. The doll was so warm that he felt warm all over.
Rong Ye looked at Xie Shuangbai who was hugging him tightly, lowered his head and smiled, but then he became confused as to why he had just laughed. He really couldn't figure it out, and fell asleep in a daze.
The next day, Zhao Dunzi looked at Rong Ye with resentment. He was dragged out like a child yesterday, which was really embarrassing. But he looked at Rong Ye and dared not say anything.
Seeing him staring at Rong Ye so strangely, Xie Shuangbai thought he just didn't sleep well.
Zhao Dunzi was also a capable man. He quickly gathered together the workers who were on vacation, including many new faces.
It seems his engineering team has been doing a lot of big things recently.
Xie Shuangbai asked people to throw away all the old things in the yard.
This caused quite a stir, and the surrounding neighbors and merchants only then realized that the winery next door had been sold.
Everyone is curious about who is so fearless as to buy such a yard, even if it is cheap, he would not risk his life!
Some sharp-eyed people also noticed Wang Yun, and after asking around, they found out that the winery was going to be converted into a tofu workshop.
There's a new topic of conversation in town: isn't Youranju the tofu maker? Is Youranju finally opening a shop?
Xie Shuangbai, who was still busy with the decoration, had no idea that Youran Ju, which had not yet opened, was already being anticipated by so many people.
Of course there are also some that I don’t like.
Zhu Huan is one of them. His business has been damaged recently because of this tofu. Now they dare to open a shop in the town. He wants to see what tricks they can come up with!
Zhao Dunzi was busy and happy. After throwing away all the garbage in the yard, he began to demolish the house.
After all, the workshop was old and seriously aged. Xie Shuangbai was worried about production accidents, so he originally thought about repairing it, but later simply postponed the reconstruction.
Zhao Dunzi thought it was a waste, but Xie Shuangbai said that production accidents were no small matter and human lives were at stake, so he couldn't say anything.
He planned to divide the area into two parts, and would only hire male workers for the tofu side, which mainly involved manual labor.
Douya only recruits female workers.
Female and male workers are managed separately.
On the left is the tofu workshop, and on the right is the bean sprout workshop. Connecting the two sides is a very long corridor with doors on both sides. They are usually locked and not opened.
Across the corridor is the managers' office area and his rest area.
Behind the workshop are the toilet and the bathhouse.
Xie Shuangbai cares a lot about hygiene. Food is no different from anything else, and employees must be clean.
So he built shower rooms and bathrooms, and toilets, all tiled.
Bath water can be recycled to flush toilets, and finally used as fertilizer for rice fields. How green and environmentally friendly!
After hearing this, Zhao Dunzi vowed to build this model house well.
He was busy like a top every day. The project was unprecedentedly difficult. He either went to the ceramic factory or the brick factory, frowning every day thinking about how to lay the pipes.
Fortunately, there were many capable people and the problem was finally solved.
Xie Shuangbai was not as busy as Zhao Dunzi. He and Rong Ye were shopping for furniture in town.
The new office building and his temporary home both need furniture.
He saw a set of simple light walnut-colored tables and chairs and liked them very much. They matched the wooden floor he had customized very well.
Seeing that he liked it, the waiter was very enthusiastic: "Sir, this is our store's new style. The materials are all high-quality. It is especially suitable for scholars like you!"
Xie Shuangbai thought the table was indeed nice. "How much is it?"
The waiter smiled and said, "100 taels a set, very cost-effective."
"I want it!" A female voice with a hint of arrogance sounded.
The waiter immediately left them behind when he saw them coming and walked forward with a smile: "Mrs. Xiao, please take a look at which one you like, and we will deliver it to your house!"
Mrs. Xiao Er is Cao Fang, the second daughter-in-law of the Xiao family.
She pointed at the table in front of Xie Shuangbai: "The one next to that man, it's perfect for my son to use for writing. It's obvious that this table is not something a poor scholar can afford!"
Xie Shuangbai took a long time to react and looked at Rong Ye: "Silly guy, is the poor scholar she's talking about me?"
Rong Ye didn't like the word "big fool", but strangely, he liked Xie Shuangbai calling him that. It sounded soft and comfortable to him, like a secret nickname.
When Xie Shuangbai saw the silly look on Shada's face, he knew that he didn't understand.
Looking at this arrogant woman, Xie Shuangbai gave her two words in his heart: fool
He thought that the table and chairs were not even worth 10 taels, so he might as well go back to the village and ask Carpenter Zhang to make them.
He thought, that's right, he could just draw the blueprint himself and ask a carpenter to do it, and he could even make changes based on his ideas.
Cao Fang looked at the poor scholar in front of her, frowning for a while and then happily pulling a tall and strong man away, her face full of disgust.
"You're shopping when you don't have any money, and you're flirting with men on the street. It's shameful!"
If Xie Shuangbai heard what she just said, he would at least say: It’s none of your business!
Rong Ye looked at the slender, white wrist in front of him and felt that he could break it with a little force.
Just as he was about to take action, Xie Shuangbai let go.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. "Big idiot, do you think there's something wrong with that woman? She deserves to be ripped off!"
They turned back to the street where the workshop was, and there were indeed not many people around.
A sign saying "For Sale" was posted on a street corner about 100 meters away from the workshop. Xie Shuangbai went over to take a look out of curiosity. "Old man, is this shop for sale?"
"Oh, business is tough. I want to sell the shop and go home to retire!"
Xie Shuangbai glanced at the door. It was a shoe shop. An old couple made a living from the shop. They looked worried, and it was estimated that their business was no longer sustainable.
The shop is not big and its structure is strange, it is long and narrow with a small yard at the back.
"How much do you want to sell your shop, uncle?"
"The price is 100 taels. I bought this shop for 90 taels. I built the house in the back for 10 taels. It's not big, but it has everything you need."
Xie Shuangbai looked outside and asked, "Uncle, can I come in and take a look?"
Seeing Xie Shuangbai's interest, the old man said enthusiastically, "Why not? Come in!"
After Xie Shuangbai entered the house, he looked around carefully. It was indeed not big, about 40 square meters. It would be quite cozy if it was decorated well.
The old man saw that he was quite interested: "There's a small attic upstairs. Would you like to see it? It's a mess, though."
Xie Shuangbai was surprised, there was an attic!
The attic is about 20 square meters and is indeed very messy. It is obvious that no one has opened it for many years.
"I want this room, old man. When can you vacate it?"
The old man was stunned for a moment, then became excited and said, "We two old men will clean it up for you in two days."
Xie Shuangbai waved his hand: "No need to pack, old man. Take what you need and leave what you don't want here. I will take care of it all."
He looked at the shoes in the shop again. The workmanship was really good. "I want your shoes too. Let's calculate how much they cost."
The old man looked at him with some doubt: "Can you finish wearing it, kid?"
Xie Shuangbai smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, we have a big family!"
In the end, the total price of the house and shoes was 105 taels. Xie Shuangbai went out for a walk and bought another shop.
By the time everyone found out, the property had already been transferred.
