Return to Hong Kong Island for a Century

Chapter 161 Still Needs Gold (Third Update, Please Subscribe and Vote)

After arriving in Kyoto, Li Song first went to see the courtyard house that was being renovated.

This small courtyard house is decorated in a rather simple way; the paving stones in the courtyard have been replaced with marble!

The walls were completely rebuilt with blue bricks and then the joints were re-grouted.

There are flower beds in the garden, and a fish pond in another corner of the yard.

The biggest change is a few pieces of glass that are two meters high.

Make every room bright and airy!
The room was paved with marble and painted white.

The roof timbers were polished and then coated with clear varnish.

Cement slabs were laid on the roof beams, and then yellow mud mixed with straw was laid on top of the cement slabs.

The tiles were laid on top of the yellow mud mixed with straw.

This maximizes heat retention, keeping the room warm in winter and cool in summer.

In summer, the heat cannot penetrate the room, and in winter, the cold air cannot pass through!
The biggest changes to the courtyard house were the installation of heating and drainage systems.

The kitchen was modernized, and a gas water heater was also installed.

It now has a kitchen, a tea room, a dining room, three bedrooms, and a living room.

Of course, there's also a kitchen and a bathroom, both completely tiled.

A crystal chandelier was installed in the living room.

In Li Song's opinion, this thing is actually a bit too complicated, but it's popular in Hong Kong now.

This house was actually built by two groups of people.

The roof, including the beams and tiles, was made by some local old craftsmen!
The main wall below, along with the interior and exterior decorations, shows several people from Hong Kong Island.

This small courtyard house wasn't made that complicated!

The other larger courtyard houses will be restored to their original state, meaning they will be much more difficult to maintain by the local craftsmen.

The two groups don't even need to meet. When it's time for one team to enter, the other team goes to work in another courtyard!

This was mainly due to Li Song's influence; otherwise, it would have been impossible to let people from Hong Kong Island work here.

"Sister Lin!"

"Let's go see the new house!" Li Song said impatiently as soon as Zhu Ling got out of school in the afternoon.

"What new house?" Zhu Ling asked, somewhat surprised.

"It's a small courtyard house over Houhai, and it's all finished now!" Li Song said.

"So fast?" Zhu Ling had no idea that a courtyard house was being built over there.

"Let's go take a look. I'll give you the key then. You can come and open the windows whenever you want to air it out and get rid of the moisture!" Of course, Li Song couldn't say that there was glue in the paint and that he needed to let it air out!
"Mmm!!" Zhu Ling was also very curious about what the courtyard house would look like.

Of course, this time we'll only need to trouble Section Chief Zhou.

In fact, Section Chief Zhou was willing to drive them both, but he would be worried if Li Song rode his bike by himself.

Zhu Ling was aware of Section Chief Zhou's existence and felt somewhat embarrassed.

Section Chief Zhou glanced at Zhu Ling once, then looked away.

The girl is indeed good-looking, but according to Section Chief Zhou, there is absolutely no need to get a private jet.

In other words, in Section Chief Zhou's view, no matter how beautiful a woman is, she is not worth a private jet.

"Wow!!" The courtyard house has been raised a bit, and from the outside, you can only see the walls and the gate has been renovated.

After entering the house, Li Song turned on the lights, and the lights in the courtyard came on.

There aren't any LED lights yet; they're all fluorescent tubes and wall lamps in various shapes.

The overall color scheme of the courtyard house is gray, with gray marble, blue brick walls, and white lime used for grouting.

"This is the kitchen, and the bathroom is next to the kitchen!"

"This is the tea room, used to receive guests!" "This is the living room!"

"The master bedroom is right next to the living room!"

"The master bedroom has an ensuite bathroom and a shower, and the water heater is located in the kitchen!"

"These two small bedrooms are right here in the living room!"

"Come on, let's go up to the terrace and take a look!" There's a ladder in the corner between the main house and the side rooms that leads to the sunroom above the side rooms.

Zhu Ling looked at the bright courtyard and the bright kitchen, with its marble countertop and solid wood cabinets!

And stainless steel faucets!
A bright and airy toilet, a bright and airy living room, and a crystal chandelier in the living room!
Zhu Ling felt her vision was being assaulted as soon as she entered the courtyard.

So many lights!
The entire room is tiled, including the kitchen and the toilet!

Huge floor-to-ceiling windows!

There are also gorgeous crystal chandeliers!

The house is empty now, but it feels more spacious because of the light!
In addition, neither the bedroom nor the living room has a false ceiling, so it looks even more spacious!
Stepping onto the terrace, the view of the courtyard, illuminated by over a dozen lights, is truly beautiful.

"The renovation has just been completed, and it will take half a month to air out the moisture."

"You can move here in half a month, then it will be much more convenient for you to go to school!" You can see Houhai from the terrace!

"How much will this cost?!"

"There must be dozens of lights. How much electricity will that cost?" Zhu Ling asked worriedly.

"My daily income is enough to cover my electricity bills for hundreds of years."

"Don't worry about these things when you're with me, just focus on looking good." Li Song kissed the other person, seeing their worried expression, and then said.

Zhu Ling nestled in Li Song's arms, feeling that Li Song seemed even taller and more imposing at that moment.

Li Song then handed the key to the door to Zhu Ling.

Then the two returned to their original courtyard house.

After seeing the brand-new courtyard house, Zhu Ling also felt that the courtyard house in front of her was too dilapidated.

Li Song enjoyed another night of tender moments with women; women can be quite emotional sometimes.

Of course, Li Song also knew that in this era, most women probably couldn't resist the kind of courtyard house they had just seen.

On Friday evening, Li Song told Zhu Ling that he would be busy with work next week and wouldn't have time to come over.

Zhu Lin then assigned Li Song to focus on his work.

Li Song left Kyoto on Saturday and was on his way to Kyoto Airport.

Section Chief Zhou then answered some of Li Song's questions: "Song, you can decide the location of the aircraft manufacturing plant yourself; it can be anywhere!"

"In addition, regarding aircraft manufacturing, our superiors are also mobilizing their best personnel. By the time your equipment and blueprints arrive, things will be almost ready here as well."

"Also, we should try to complete the hydraulic press project within three years!"

Li Song nodded upon hearing this: "That's good then."

However, Li Song decided to add some aircraft parts to the cargo ship.

These are components like aircraft beams and landing gear that require a 10,000-ton hydraulic press to manufacture.

This way, two aircraft can be manufactured first, and the private jet can use the other aircraft to conduct various experiments.

Of course, the most crucial component of an aircraft is its engine!

We have prepared everything ourselves, from materials and technology to production equipment, and we believe that the mainland will soon be able to manufacture qualified aircraft engines.

"Furthermore, the higher-ups suggested that you take some more gold, so that even if your team goes quiet, you can still build relationships!"

"So how much gold is the higher-ups planning to give?"

"Give me as much as you want!"
