Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 798
From this point of view, Xu Chenming really wanted to work hard.This is also one of the reasons why Liu Ya thinks he is very reliable.He was talking with Liu Xuer when Xu Chenming came back.Liu Xu'er and Liu Ya set out the bowls and chopsticks, everyone had breakfast, Xu Chenming and Xiao Shu'er got into the carriage again, and took the time to set off on the road.

In the car, Xu Chenming said to Liu Ya: "Miss Liu, I have already gone to the canteen to look at it. I didn't expect that the area will be really big after it is built. I'm afraid I can't do such a big job alone. Come, I need to find a helper. Otherwise, it will also delay the construction period."

Liu Ya said: "Okay. As I said before, I will outsource this work to you. You can find someone to do it, but the quality and style must satisfy me. Hiring one more person, more We also paid for the expenses.”

Xu Chenming quickly waved his hand and said: "I'm not talking about the price. I also know that the Liu family treats me very well, and the price is easy to negotiate. Also, I want to ask Miss Liu, what is so special about such a large dining hall? Are there any requirements? For example, is the furniture to be made more refined or more generous? Do you need several single rooms, or are you particular about materials and paint?"

Liu Ya was also thinking about this matter, so she said to Xu Chenming: "Brother Xu, I really don't understand this aspect. Of course, my request is mainly practical, and most of the past guests are porters and coachmen, which is too delicate. On the contrary, it is easy to make customers cautious. But it can't be too shabby, and it won't be able to retain big customers, so in terms of materials and styles, can you help me think of a way?"

Xu Chenming thought for a while and said: "I heard that this dining hall may be connected to the second floor. If that is the case, can the upper floor be made into a private room in the future? If so, the first floor does not need to be too delicate Well, anyway, the tables and chairs are new, and they look good. As for the material, I think pine wood is fine. Although pine wood is relatively soft, it is affordable, and the patterns are beautiful. Moreover, pine wood is easy to build, and the construction period can be shortened. If If there are many guests, these tables and chairs are also easy to wear and tear. Even the best materials will be seriously damaged after a short period of time. It is better to use such cheap materials and replace them with a new batch after a few years, but they will be new again. .As for doors, windows, partitions, etc., of course, good materials must be used, after all, these cannot be replaced frequently.”

Liu Ya nodded after hearing this, and said, "Brother Xu, you are right. But is the smell of pine wood a bit stronger?" After all, this is a canteen, so it cannot be said that the guests are eating, and there is still a smell of pine oil, right? . "

Xu Chenming said: "Go to a big lumber store and go directly to the boss to buy pine wood that has been dried. It needs to be more than two or three years old, and it is fine not to use the pine wood that fell in the past. The smell of pine wood has been clean in these two or three years. , the quality of the board is good, and there will be no cracking when the furniture is built."

"Well, let's buy pine planks. Brother Xu, you can go and purchase by yourself, we can trust you." Liu Ya has always been suspicious of hiring people, so this job is handed over to Xu Chenming. She also doesn't think about whether others will be tempted by her.

Talking along the way, we arrived at Xiaozhang Village.Liu Ya put Xu Chenming down and asked him to take a ride to the town and then take the carriage home.Xu Chenming also promised: "Miss Liu, don't worry, I will come back to continue working in half a month at most, or ten days at least. At worst, I will go home after I finish this time. I can tell my father that this is If I agreed to the owner before, my father will agree."

Liu Ya said "Thank you" again, and drove the carriage to Ershuan's father's house.

Xiao Shu'er was still puzzled: "Second Sister, what are you doing? Aren't we going to the city? Not this way."

Liu Ya said: "Go and unload the carriage first. The two of us can go on horseback. It's a waste of time to drag a carriage. I know a family here, just leave the carriage with them gone."

When they came to the door, Liu Ya called out: "Qiuying? Are you there?"

Er Shuan's father came out of the house upon hearing the sound, saw Liu Ya and said, "Little Boss, your cousin just came back to sleep. If you want her, I'll ask my wife to call her for you?"

Liu Ya said: "No, no, I just came to tell you that I want to unload the carriage and let it stay with you for a day. I'll go to the city and go ride with my younger brother."

"All right, let's put it here." Er Shuan's father said, and came out to help Liu Ya unload the car.Xiao Shu'er also helped, and the three of them quickly unloaded the carriage. The saddle was strapped to the carriage before, and the horse was tied up.

At this time, the door of Qiuying's room opened.Qiu Ying came out with a veil, probably got up hastily when she heard Liu Ya calling her.

Liu Ya saw that her face was covered with a veil, but her hair was messy, her hands were bruised, and her legs seemed to be slack when walking, so she waved to her and said, "It's okay, you go to sleep. I'll be back at night " After finishing speaking, she pouted at Xiao Shu'er again, signaling Qiu Ying not to talk nonsense, so that Xiao Shu'er should not hear her.

Qiuying understood, nodded and turned to enter the house.

Here, Xiao Shu'er also fastened the saddle, called Liu Ya and said, "Second Sister, it's alright, let's go."

Liu Ya thanked Er Shuan's father, got on her horse and left with Xiao Shu'er.

When I arrived in the city, I found the school in the south of the city after a little searching.This school looks more imposing than the school in Guyushu Town, and the door is not guarded by older students in turn, but two straight men who look strong and polite are guarding the door.This should be similar to modern security.

As soon as Liu Ya brought Xiao Shu'er forward, one of them came up to meet her and asked, "Are you here to take the entrance exam?"

Liu Ya nodded, took out the letter written by Tan Siwu earlier, and said, "The shopkeeper Wu of Feihongfang asked me to bring a letter to find Mr. Zuo, this is the letter."

In fact, there is no need for Liu Ya to explain, the man who guards the gate already understood when he saw the letterhead exclusive to Feihongfang.He didn't accept the letter, but said: "Then please come with me. Please give the letter to Mr. Zuo yourself."

Liu Ya thanked her and followed the gatekeeper inside.As soon as you enter the gate, you can hear the sound of reading aloud from time to time. The yard is not big but it is tidy and clean. There are couplets on every door, which looks full of bookishness. This is the atmosphere of the school.

The man who guarded the door led Liu Ya all the way to a side room at the back, and said: "Mr. Zuo is inside, I will inform you first. Please wait a moment." Not long after he entered, he came out and said to Liu Ya: "Mr. Zuo is inside. Sir, please. Please come in with me, both of you."
