Chapter 87 The Rebirth of the Old House and the Brewer's Rebirth
Li Jinhangjia is the most traditional three-bay Chuandou structure in Banwan Village.

Gongtong chose his house not only because of the traditional wine-making skills, but also because he wanted to set a demonstration for more than 70 stilted houses in Banwan Village.

Question, is the traditional stilted building comfortable?

The answer is comfort.

But it shouldn't ignore fundamental issues.

With the development of the times, people's needs have also changed, but the old houses have not caught up with it and made adjustments accordingly.
This brings out more and more problems in traditional buildings.

Not only the stilted buildings of the Buyi people, but also many traditional dwellings in China are troubled by this problem.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the villagers blindly build new brick houses.

On a certain evening more than a month ago, Bai Gongtong's team had a discussion on this issue when they got together for a meeting.

During this time, the team split into two parties.

On one side is the people represented by Su Mu. They think that in order to maintain the original tradition, something must be discarded.

If you want to get something, you have to pay something. This is the unsolvable principle of equivalent exchange.

The other party is Guangbai and Xianhe. They feel that since the original tradition can no longer meet the needs, why not replace it entirely?

Is it necessary to sacrifice the right of the villagers of Banwan Village to enjoy a more comfortable life just because such an environment can attract more tourists?

No one could convince anyone, the group could only turn their attention to Davidia Davidson.

Davidia involucrata showed a serious face, concentrating on her thoughts.

Hesitant to speak.

hesitating
It took a while to express my thoughts carefully.

He felt a heavy burden on his shoulders, because he just made a decision here, and it seemed that he didn't have to pay any price for it.

But once this decision is made, it will affect too many people.

"Sincerely fearful, sincerely fearful"

Davidia Davidson sighed twice.

After a long sigh, he said: "First of all, we must first affirm this traditional way of life, which contains an ancient civilization, and is a cultural form and intangible cultural heritage."

"If we only hold the idea of ​​replacing the old with the new, then the Bouyei people may be fully assimilated by our culture in a short time."

"This is a tragedy for the Buyi people, and it is also a tragedy for our diverse civilization!"

After the words fell, the young Xianhe and Guangbai closed their mouths, perhaps they could still see some dissatisfaction in their eyes.

Fatty Su Mu nodded, although he didn't expect such a deeper meaning, but this is the truth.

There is a fault in Chinese architecture in modern times. Traditional old buildings have not been able to develop forms to meet new needs, and they have been completely replaced by Western civilization.

This may also be a direction that domestic contemporary designers need to work on, whether to reshape the Chinese road, or to develop a new local genre along the lines of the West.

The lights in the room were dim, and the atmosphere became relatively quiet.

Gongtong's conversation suddenly changed: "Of course, this is not an excuse for us not to make changes."

"What I think is that we can try to improve their quality of life from the perspective of modern construction technology while keeping the traditional old house lifestyle unchanged."

"Use a new way to interpret and adapt to the relationship between their production and life!"

When everyone listened, their bodies shook.

This is a new way of thinking. If we can get out of it, it will definitely not only affect a village or a town.

Fatty Sumu, Xianhe, Guangbai, everyone was convinced.

It's not that they can't think of this idea, but they dare not think about it. They don't have the courage.

Gongtong dares to think, so he is the leader of this team!

After pondering and thinking for more than a month, I discovered Li Jinxing, the brewer, and this transformation took place.

Because of the big action this time, Li Jinxing temporarily placed the baby at a relative's house.

He went back to live with his relatives at night, and came to his own house to carry out renovations with the masters during the day.

He watched it with his own eyes, and even participated in the demolition process of his old house.

In a blink of an eye, only the skeleton remains of the old house.

"The designer Baitongtong said that the wooden structure foundation should be repaired first."

Li Jinxing was an honest man, he only kept in mind what Designer Bai said, and he would just follow where Davidia Davidson was pointing.

But after the house was demolished, looking around, the emotions in my heart were inexplicably complicated.

A little dazed, he didn't know what the future would hold, and he didn't know what kind of life the remodeled house would bring him.

It's just that Li Jinxing has thought about it, he is ready to change, to welcome a brand new future!

During the renovation, the ground in front of Li Jin's home was always full of idlers looking at it.

They looked amazed and muttered secretly:
"What is Designer Bai going to do?"

"Shu Ting and his wife, He Biao's pottery kiln is half a day short, and two days long. At most, it is just an addition."

"But why is it such a big move this time?"

"Who knows, but with such a big handwriting, it can't be worse than the first two, right?"

"Shu Ting's family is really comfortable to live in. He Biao's earthen pottery kiln has just waited for the village to be remodeled and started to invest in it. What do you think will happen to Li Jinxing?"

"It's not easy for Li Jinxing. A bachelor with a child really can't live in their house. Looking at it like this, it should be repaired."

"Although it took a long time, it shouldn't be better than He Biao's hen that can lay golden eggs!"

"That is an opportunity that not everyone can catch up with."

"I think so too."

During the transformation period, Davidia Davidson recruited Pinellia, holding the blueprints and saying something.

Ban Xia nodded and left, the figure did not reappear for several days.

Time passed day by day, and the skeleton of the house remained unchanged and was quickly remodeled.

I dismantled my own house bit by bit.

Little by little, I rebuilt my house.
This experience is rarely experienced.

Li Jinxing thought it was a very strange feeling, as if he had experienced a new life just like this old house!

The whole person is undergoing a baptism.

He is honest and stubborn, these are his backbone.

But this doesn't represent his failed life, his family is destitute, his wife has run away, and he has always felt that his children are his only motivation.

Once, he lived numbly.

But now it's different!

Li Jinxing's face was still full of vicissitudes, but those eyes were completely burning with flames.

After the general renovation of the house was completed, Li Jinxing was asked by Gongtong to spend more time with the children, so he was driven out of the old house.

He said with a smile that he hoped to keep the last surprise and let him experience it with his children.

After he left, Davidia involucrata re-arranged the interior space of the stilted building, some old columns were painted again, and couplets with red and black letters were pasted up.
Behind the house, a large platform with a view is built
A week after the renovation started, Pinellia also returned.

The master drove the car and parked at the door, and brought wooden boxes into the house.
Soon, the transformation was finally complete!
The child sat on his father's shoulders, cheering and cheering. Li Jinxing pursed his lips and smiled, and walked resolutely towards the house.

Villagers from every household heard about it and came from all directions.

Everyone stood at the door and looked forward.

This old house on stilts still doesn't seem to be visible from the outside.
