Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 47

In the next two days, Sun Xiangfu was teaching Wang Fu, Wang Gui, Ma Lin, Zhang Quan and others to build a stove, and the things hoarded in Xingfu Village were also pulled to Chang'an by boat, waiting for a set of stove and After the kang was finished, Sun Xiangfu had to go back home. Apart from his younger siblings, Nie Sanniang, Sun Erli, Shi Dalang and twenty children aged seven to 14 went back to Chang'an with him.

The Furong Garden in Chang’an City faces the widest view of the waters of Qujiang Pond. The bricks, stones and wood materials of Xingfu Village are all piled up here. address.Since those aristocratic families do not allow Sun Xiangfu to occupy the east and west markets, he can only build it himself.

I have to say that Sun Xiangfu's eyes are still very vicious. Wangjiang Tower can not only see the best scenery of Qujiang Pond, but it is also only a hundred meters away from Qujiang Pond Wharf. After the cement road of the official road is repaired, it will be an excellent place to enter and leave Chang'an by water in the south, because it is closer to Dongshi by going ashore from here and taking the new road than going to Dongshi by taking the city gate.

The site selection and material preparation of Wangjiang Tower have been completed, which proves that Li Chengqian's Sun Xiangfu's team has been sold out, and it is time for the remaining construction companies to contribute. Held in the new house.

Chang Sun Chong was still representing the crown prince of the East Palace, and since Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong were away on the expedition, they could only be represented by two boys, Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin. Qin Qiong, who had been waiting here for a long time, had all the shareholder representatives complete.

The meeting was held at the dinner table. In the cold weather, if you don’t want to drink those oily tea soup, you should have a hot pot to refresh yourself. Let's talk about it after they eat.

"Your tables and chairs are exquisitely made. There is a hole in the middle, and a charcoal stove of the same height is placed under it. Moreover, this charcoal stove can also adjust the firepower. I am afraid it is specially designed for burning this hot pot."

Qin Qiong wanted to drink after eating, but it was a pity that Sun Xiangfu didn't serve him. Fortunately, Dugu Mou, an old man, was there, otherwise he would really be embarrassed to eat at the same table with a bunch of juniors.

"These are nothing, the most important thing is this way of eating, which is more suitable for chatting and talking about things." Sun Xiangfu gave Qin Qiong a piece of boneless fish belly meat and said.

"Well, that's true, then tell me, what is the regulation of our restaurant!" Qin Qiong and the others experienced it firsthand, and found that it is indeed much more comfortable than the meal system, especially when drinking, the whole table is full of people. You can raise your hand to clink glasses, and it is very convenient to talk.

"So, then I will tell everyone about the plan. Now, I have prepared the place and the general materials, and the five of you will fill in the gaps. First of all, labor. Our hotel covers an area of ​​[-] mu. Although it is not necessary to build such a large house, all the places must be utilized, so if you want to complete the project quickly, at least more than a thousand laborers are required, and there is no upper limit."

"It's easy to handle. I just need to make an offer in the name of the East Palace, and the more than 2000 Turkic prisoners who are locked in the camp in the east of the city can be transferred here. After eating our free food these days, it's time to work." The eldest grandson Chong answered the words.Using Turkic captives to do free labor is a consensus that everyone has had before, and it can save a lot of money for the construction of restaurants.

"Then the second point is the steel bars and iron pipes. The main structure of this restaurant is reinforced concrete. Now the cement has been fired. As long as the steel bars are in place, the main structure will be completed soon, and then a small amount will be installed. The water pipe can make the whole use more convenient."

Sun Xiangfu designed the restaurant with five floors, which is slightly higher than the city wall of Chang'an. Hundreds of carpenters were used to install the formwork, and thousands of laborers mixed cement and stones. The frame structure should be completed quickly.

"My Qin family has smelted iron for generations. I have been preparing for it since I received your call before. When the foundation you mentioned is dug, the steel pipes will be delivered immediately." Qin Qiong continued.

In this regard, Qin Qiong is a big leader. For such a large hotel, the overall structure plus five-story prefabricated panels requires Qin Qiong to produce tens of thousands of catties of steel bars. Steel is expensive in this period, even if it is smelted in the Qin family's own workshop. It took him thousands of dollars to get it out.

"Well, the Duke of the State has made great efforts in this regard, and the rest of the work will be left to other families. Painters, sculptors, and decorations, I want the best in Chang'an, as well as curtains, screens, beds, and soft purchases. , I need all the good ones, and they are complete sets, all the tableware should be made of porcelain dishes, and the drinks should at least be made of copper jugs, you guys should spend your money on it!"

"That's no problem. The four of us joined forces and smashed him tens of thousands of guan. The whole of Chang'an will be searched by us. We will keep it within one month and buy everything you want." Dugu Mou continued.

Sun Xiangfu nodded when he heard the words, and said, "There are also helpers, and we will start recruiting now. Except for chefs, no matter what the position is, I only need young men and women between the ages of 16 and 20. The number is tentatively set at 500. , After I get married, everyone will be here, and I will start training."

"This, let's share it among the four of us too! It's not a problem to get a hundred people in one family." Lawyer Pei answered. The family sitting here has hundreds or thousands of households, and they have recruited from tenants. It is very easy for Bai Qingzhuang to be a helper.

"The last thing, help me recruit some singers, musicians, and street jugglers. These people will also be of great help to the business of the restaurant in the future."

"We're good at this." Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin, who only knew how to nod all the time, raised their heads and said.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. I also want to see people after I get married." Sun Xiangfu pointed to the two living treasures and said.

After the main things were finalized, it was time to discuss the details. There was a lot to talk about here. After more than an hour of talking, everyone had a rough idea of ​​the structure of this new restaurant.

After the restaurant is built, it will be a circular building. The first and second floors are halls, each of which can hold hundreds of small and medium-sized countertops. Among them, there will be three countertops on the first floor surrounding the central stage. , the stage is very large, facing the diners on three sides, and the backstage on one side, which also covers two passages leading to the back kitchen.

The second floor is all medium-sized and large-sized countertops, a total of two to three hundred sheets. Along the central circular railing, they are divided into three different circular belts, high, medium and low. There are also three sides to watch the central stage.

On the third floor are private rooms, dozens of rooms in size. There is a circle around the central corridor. There is a whole row of stands in front of the windows. You can watch the stage from a high position when you open the windows. There is a circle around the outside of the restaurant. You can watch the Qujiang Pond outside the restaurant through the windows. scenery.

The fourth and fifth floors are all guest rooms, which are divided into three grades, large, medium and small. Sun Xiangfu made a detailed list of the furniture needed for the guest room. According to the standard distribution in the room.

You can also go up to the top floor. There are fences and pergola roofs, and various flowers and plants to help insulate the heat. It is for guests to climb up and go sightseeing. There will be several copper water tanks in the center, and servants will bring water up every day to supply each guest room. The bathtub in the toilet is used for flushing water.

From the perspective of later generations, this so-called restaurant does not have much technical content, but at present, when Sun Xiangfu described all the structures, everyone was stunned. No wonder he asked for five hundred helpers. It is a large restaurant that can entertain thousands of people at the same time, and live in over a thousand people. It is bigger than the largest Zuixianlou, Xinxianglou, and Deyuelou in Chang'an. The reason why all the facilities are finished.

In his conception, a gentle slope hundreds of meters wide will be excavated not far from the restaurant, covered with fine sand, for tourists to play in the water in summer, and a playground for children will be built next to the beach , but it may take more than a year to build. At present, we can only complete a beach first. In addition, along the banks of Qujiang Pond, he plans to build cement roads and railings, and plant weeping willows and peach trees. After the main body of the restaurant is finished, it will be done slowly.

With the end of the dinner and the arrival of more than 2000 Turkic captives, the Qujiangchi construction site began to be bustling with activity. The digging of foundations and the crushing of gravel were carried out by Sun Xiangfu, Lawyer Pei, Cheng Chumo, and Yuchi Baolin. Under the supervision of human beings, the work proceeded in an orderly and unsteady manner. In just three days, the foundation was dug. This is the strength of a large number of people.

Then, more than a hundred craftsmen brought by Sun Xiangfu from Xingfu Village began to install wooden formwork, cement, stone and steel bars according to the requirements, and poured them in the molds. After another three days, the building below the foundation was completed, and the pouring on the ground began. It is more complicated here, but After three days of study, the carpenters knew what was going on, and just continued pouring according to the position and height set by Sun Xiangfu.

At this time, under Sun Xiangfu's calculation, the width of each wall has detailed data. He took out the drawings, and many things that need woodworking carving can be carved first. For this reason, several people collected Chang'an's There are thousands of craftsmen, hundreds of wood carving boards of various sizes can be produced in a day, and then they can be directly pasted on the exterior wall or the interior wall. Inexpensive and quick to build.

On the inner wall, Sun Xiangfu thought of a very simple way, directly using white paper as wallpaper, which can also allow literati to write poems, and then replace it with other exquisite wallpaper when conditions permit, the decoration is simple, fast and atmospheric, and is popular Everyone agrees that when these architectural matters are basically on track, Sun Xiangfu's wedding will also arrive.

　Ask for recommendation, collection, my dears, reward one and get on the list immediately, why not do it!
