Returning to hometown to farm: The apocalypse system arrived ten years earlier?

Chapter 134: Waking of Insects, All Things Begin, Sweeping the Mountain
After all, self-occupied housing is simpler, so this plan was finalized first. The construction company's quote was for the unfinished house + hard decoration, totaling more than 630,000 yuan, but the two girls, Yao Yao and Zhao Xueqing, helped to bargain, and the final price was 600,000 yuan.

Of course, this is also because there is the "Holy Garden" project next door. For that project, the other party's first draft proposal quoted more than 9 million yuan, but many aspects are still to be discussed and the quotation is a bit inflated. Li Xiang and his team put forward many suggestions for revisions and asked the other party to come up with another version.

In addition, the renderings should also be made. Although it will cost a little more money, the renderings are more intuitive and are also one of the references for future acceptance.

If the finished product is too different from the previous rendering, it will not work.

If it were a more formal company, they would often conduct a three-way price comparison, but Li Xiang is the boss himself and is quite satisfied with the attitude and strength of this supplier. As long as the final price is not too outrageous, he will sign it.

The economy was bad, but the construction company was still willing to take on the project worth 30 or 30 million yuan, so the plan was carefully revised and improved. The contract for the self-occupied house was signed first, and according to the process specified in the contract, 40% was paid first, and the other party entered the site for construction. Another % was paid after the roughcast was completed, and another % was paid after the hard decoration was completed and accepted.

Once the money was in place, the other party acted quickly. A construction team came in immediately and they were very enthusiastic about helping with the move.

Not only did the construction team help, but many villagers also came to help and watch Li Xiang's house being demolished.

Li Jinyu, Jiang Jianguo, Li Yucheng, Sanpo... It can be said that nearly two-thirds of the people came. It was a rare lively moment in Lijia Village.

"Oh, what a pity. It was reinforced just last year and we spent a lot of money on bricks and tiles, but it's been demolished again just a few months later." An old man sighed, expressing great regret.

Someone nearby said, "No matter how well it's reinforced, it's still an old house. Xiangya is rich now, so of course he has to tear it down and build a new one. Otherwise, if he wants to marry a wife and hold a wedding, it would be embarrassing to have such an old house!"

"That's right. Now you are the village chief and the boss of a company. You can't be too shabby."

"Hey, those girls, who do you think Xiangya has a crush on? They come to Xiangya's house every other day, and sometimes two or three of them surround him!"

"Why, do you have any objections? Don't meddle in the affairs of young people."

"Times have changed. We wouldn't have dared to be so bold back then."

"It doesn't seem like they're in a relationship. I heard they were all recruited as employees!"

“Oh, this… this…”

"What's this?"

"I think Xiangya wants to reverse history and build three palaces and six courtyards."

"That's because he's capable. Aren't there enough rich and powerful people with three wives, four concubines and various mistresses?"

"Don't talk nonsense. I think Xiangya is quite upright and not that kind of person!"

"If you keep talking nonsense, the bamboo shoots will be harvested in a few days and Xiangya will not bring you any more goods!"

"Look at my mouth. I was wrong, I was wrong. Haha! But if it were me, I would have done it to all of them since I'm so young and handsome and there are so many girls around me..."

"You are daydreaming. Be careful that your wife will slap you. Go and help our village chief move furniture."

Li Xiang set up a big tent next to the corridor and temporarily stored all the family belongings in the corridor and the tent. Li Xiang slept in the tent outside, and his grandmother slept in the utility room next to the kitchen. It was pretty good after tidying up.

Anyway, it's just for now.

There are some old items at home. Li Xiang originally wanted to get rid of them and throw them all away or burn them as firewood, but his grandmother was reluctant to do so.

This one is good, and that one also has commemorative significance, so Li Xiang kept them all for her.

Especially my grandmother's dowry furniture, which includes cabinets, boxes, tables, beds, dressing tables, etc. Although the style is old, it is still very sturdy, and there are carved patterns. After wiping it clean, it looks very good and has a sense of age.

His house is in Chinese style, so putting some old furniture in grandma's room doesn't look out of place.

The new ones contain formaldehyde, but grandma's dowry is made of pure handmade solid wood furniture, which is very healthy and environmentally friendly.

The paint has peeled off in many places, so Li Xiang is thinking about helping her repair it by hand when he has time. Of course, he won't buy the kind of paint containing formaldehyde, but traditional lacquer.

Although the house is under construction and is a mess, Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing and Lei Xiaohui still come over often.

Zhao Xueqing has more things to do. In addition to being in charge of the Guofeng Teahouse, she also has to set up a coffee shop and a milk tea shop. Lei Xiaohui is also an employee who has signed an agreement. It is impossible for her to be left unused as her salary has already started to be calculated. So Li Xiang asked her to assist Zhao Xueqing. The two of them can work together and take care of each other.

Lei Xiaohui also prefers to be with Zhao Xueqing, and she can't stand Yao Yao's coquettishness.

Therefore, Lei Xiaohui and Zhao Xueqing often co-produced videos, while Yao Yao worked alone and sometimes asked Li Xiang for help. These videos, which they posted individually, received mediocre responses, but after Li Xiang forwarded and promoted them, they became much more popular, and the number of fans of the three women also gradually increased.

It's good to have money. The house was built quickly. The frame was set up in a week. It has a reinforced concrete structure and a traditional sloping roof with flying eaves and brackets.

Between the green tile roof and the glazed roof, the red and yellow glazed roof would naturally be chosen because it is more beautiful and, in ancient times, was of a higher rank.

The reason why Korea's Gyeongbokgung Palace is blue is not because they don't like red and yellow, but because they are not qualified to use them and dare not use them.

The red and yellow glazed tiles are glazed. When exposed to the sun, they shine with golden light. They also perform better in terms of waterproofing, drainage, and heat insulation.

Of course, the price is also more expensive than green tiles.

The previous kitchen had five ridges and six beasts, but this time the main house used the standard of the Forbidden City. In addition to ten small mythical beasts, there were also immortals riding phoenixes, hanging beasts and nested beasts on each flying eaves.

Anyway, no one cares about this now, just like the door nails in ancient times, only the emperors had 9981 nails, or 8972 (Donghuamen).

Because the emperor's coffin passed through Donghua Gate, life is yang, death is yin, odd numbers are yang, and even numbers are yin, so Donghua Gate used even numbers and had one less door nail.

A prince can only use nine vertically and seven horizontally, a total of sixty-three beads. A county prince is even worse off, with only seventy-seven horizontal beads, a total of forty-nine beads.

For dukes and marquises, there are thirty-five stars, seven vertically and five horizontally.

Officials of the fourth to fifth ranks had twenty-five medals, five vertically and five horizontally.

As for officials below the fifth rank and ordinary people, they were not allowed to use door nails.

The gate of Li Xiang's house and the gate of the scenic area later on must of course have 9981 beads, and all of them must be painted with gold.

Now anyone with money can use eighty-one.

The gate of the scenic area and the nearby wall courtyard are designed like a small city wall, and will be a good place to take photos and check in in the future.

The shell is almost done and the roof has been covered, but the decoration still needs to wait until the walls are completely dry. The construction party recommends waiting for one to three months. Of course, if you are in a hurry to live there for seven or eight days, that is also possible.

Li Xiang was naturally not in a hurry.

The previous kitchen was done quickly because it was basically undecorated. Now the design and decoration of the main house is naturally more complicated. Water, electricity, floor heating, and central air conditioning all need to be hidden, and many places need to have suspended ceilings, tiles, wall coverings, wooden floors, etc., so we have to wait a little longer.

……

Spring thunder rolls and rain falls. In the Waking of Insects, all things begin to sprout.

Lijia Village has started to harvest spring bamboo shoots. It must be said that bamboo has a strong reproductive capacity. After the winter bamboo shoots are dug, the spring bamboo shoots are dug. However, in summer, there are still many new bamboos swaying in the air.

After a certain period of time, spring bamboo shoots are not fresh and delicious enough. They are most delicious during the days of Jingzhe and thunder, and are also called "Thunder Bamboo Shoots".

Li Xiang was very skillful and could do the work of others for several days at a time, so he stopped digging after two days, as he had already dug three or four hundred kilograms.

No matter how strong the reproduction ability of bamboo is, we cannot drain the pond dry. We still have to leave some bamboo shoots.

A lot of spring bamboo shoots also sprouted from that clump of second-level golden thunder bamboo. Li Xiang did not dig up the small bamboo shoots there, but directly cut the big bamboos, and obtained a lot of achievement points and the first-level exotic grass Snow Skirt White Jade Fungus as a reward.

In fact, we have cut down quite a few of them before, but basically kept more than ten pieces in stock. Now there are quite a few golden thunder bamboo shoots popping up, so we can cut a few more.

This first-level Snow Skirt White Jade Fungus actually doesn't have much effect on him, but when used to nourish the bodies of ordinary people, it is a top-notch tonic that cannot be bought with money.

Not only does it look good, it also tastes very good.

If combined with breathing techniques, and if the other party is gifted and can cultivate spiritual power, then they can step into the realm of transcendence.

The spiritual wine I brewed last time has been almost finished, and there are only a few spiritual herbs left in the system warehouse, which are being consumed faster than expected.

It was originally expected to last until the summer, but now it has run out at the beginning of March. He has been honing his skills at the third level for a long time and feels that his foundation is extremely solid. It is time to go back to the primeval forest to clear the mountains, harvest elixirs, and break through!
