The correct way to open the elf

Chapter 80: Dividing the House

The most amazing thing is the windows of the house. The front and back windows of the living room and the north and south bedrooms are all equipped with glass windows consisting of four panes of glass. They are framed in wood and can be opened. The hinges are made of brass, which are beautiful, corrosion-resistant and very luxurious.

There are no windows on the front and back wooden doors because today’s glass is too brittle and easily shattered.

The glass used on the windows of the house now is not the highly transparent crystal sand glass, but another kind of glass made from sand and gravel near the camp. This kind of glass has poor light transmittance, so there is no need to think about grinding it. Feng Yu designed a pressing machine to press it into flat glass nearly one centimeter thick for windows.

This glass has one advantage, that is, because the surface is not very smooth and flat, there are many impurities and glass lumps in it. You can't see what is on the other side of the glass without hanging curtains, but at least it is light-transmissive, which is much better than a dark tent.

Even so, people still felt that the use of glass, a 'noble' thing like magic crystal, as a light-transmitting window in every house was a clever design and an extreme waste, and was simply too extravagant.

Listening to Feng Yu explaining the house to a large group of people behind him, everyone was surprised at the exquisiteness of the house designed by Feng Yu.

Feng Yu looked at the rough building in front of him that was full of primitive atmosphere and even had no whitewashed walls. He thought to himself that these people were really used to a hard life. They had the nerve to call this exquisite. My brother Qiang's wooden house in the forest was a hundred times better than this thing. It even had an indoor shower and a flush toilet!

Nicole pulled Feng Yu's arm and asked, "Darren, why are there two rooms with beds?"

"The bedroom facing the sun is called the master bedroom, which is for the owner of the house. The bedroom at the back is called the secondary bedroom, which is for the children."

Nicole asked in confusion: "But shouldn't children live with their parents?"

Feng Yu's brain short-circuited, and he replied without thinking: "Is this the reason why there are too few elves?"

Before Nicole could figure it out, Alan, Dick, and Clarence, all the married old men, burst into laughter. Old man Anthony almost coughed up his lungs because he couldn't catch his breath.

Nicole looked at the people who were laughing. Although she still didn't understand what Feng Yu meant, she knew that what he said was not good. She pinched Feng Yu hard with a red face and ran behind Anthony. Old man Anthony coughed even harder when he saw the girl pinching Feng Yu skillfully.

Clarence patted Feng Yu and said, "Don't joke about the number of elves when you're out there. But speaking of it, this design is really thoughtful. How did you come up with it?"

"Do I need to think about this? Aren't the castles where the human nobles on the Grein Continent live large enough to have dozens or even hundreds of rooms?
Although my hometown is not aristocratic, ordinary people's homes also have two or three rooms. This is a very normal design that fully takes the needs of family life into consideration.

If you don’t have children or your children have started a family, you can give them space to stay when they come home to visit, or you can turn it into a studio, study, or something like that.”

Alan nodded and said, "I said that Brother Darren was like an aristocrat. It turns out that they live in a place where even common people can enjoy this aristocratic life."

Feng Yu smiled and said, "Now I am bringing this kind of life to our camp. These houses will be distributed to our workers so that they can also enjoy the life of aristocrats."

Alan said in surprise: "Is it really for everyone to live in?"

"Of course. Otherwise, why would we build it? Are we just going to live here and have others watch over us? That's impossible. Everyone has worked for this camp, and this is what they deserve."

Alan gave a thumbs up and didn't know what to say.

Feng Yu continued, "This one is a model room for the workers to visit. Each of you will have a share of the remaining nine rooms. The next ones will belong to the workers. With a certain salary, they can live in a house like this."

Allen asked, "What kind of conditions are required?"

Feng Yu thought for a moment and said, "The materials and labor for the house will cost about a year's salary for an ordinary salt field worker. However, the workers will have no money to buy anything else, so they can choose to pay for it over two years, half of their monthly salary, or pay for it over three years, one-third of their monthly salary. This will not affect their living needs."

Old Man Anthony said, "Since you said everyone is equal, why can't we just move in without paying?"

Feng Yu said: "You have also contributed to the camp and the factory. I have never calculated your wages before, and I don't plan to pay you. I will just give you a house as collateral.

You will all have salaries from now on. I will arrange for someone to deliver them to you every month.

I just happened to tell you about this. Salaries are divided into ten levels based on work ability, from ordinary workers to master-level craftsmen.

As the camp's top fighter, Old Man Anthony also has to write teaching materials and coordinate relationships with the elves, so he has a level 10 salary. This is also true for Alan, Dick, and Alchemist Clarence."

Dick shouted, "Brother Darren, how much is the salary for level 10?"

Feng Yu said: "I can probably change a house like this almost every month!"

"Huh? So many?"

Feng Yu said, "A lot? The money I earned every month before could at least buy a row of houses like this. Don't worry, life in our camp will get better and better in the future."

Alan looked at the layout of the house and said to himself, "Then we can wait, brother Darren."

"Don't wait, do it now. Separate the houses and we'll live in the houses tonight. We'll have a meal together in the evening. I'll cook and make you an exotic meal."

Alan said, "Isn't your wine ready by now?"

Dick wasn't excited when Feng Yu shouted about dividing the house, but when he heard Allen talking about wine, he was the first to react and ran over to Feng Yu, grabbed Feng Yu, and asked what kind of wine it was.

Feng Yu told him about how Alan and his team encountered snake apples during their exploration and used them to make wine. He became obsessed with it and insisted on trying it first, so Alan dragged him to the divided house.

The second row of houses was completed in a few days, so Feng Yu was not in a hurry. He divided the houses among Allen, Dick and others, and arranged for the remaining houses to be distributed to jewelers and other masters who were needed for industrial production.

The second room was Nicole's, and the third was Anthony's. Nicole followed him around and found that Feng Yu's room was not there, so she pulled Feng Yu aside and asked him why.
"After the second row is built, this model room will belong to me. It's right next to you, and I'll cook for you every day, okay?"

Nicole nodded happily and held Feng Yu's arm tightly, not letting go.
