Chapter 33 Design Details
"Okay, I'll bring some over tomorrow."
After listening to it, Yang Chenguang thought it seemed not bad, nodded, and agreed without thinking, without saying anything about profit sharing or anything like that, as it would have made things awkward.
As they were talking, the two of them had already walked around the tavern and arrived at the door of the small courtyard.
"The yard was weeded today and re-paved with stones. I've already ordered some tables and chairs online. They'll arrive in the next two days. The exterior walls and gate were repainted this year, so they don't need to be replaced. However, the lock is an old-fashioned lock, not a hotel key card."
Yang Chenguang took Du Ruo on a tour and found that many places had fresh traces, as if they had been done today.
"The lines have been re-arranged, and someone will come to install the network tomorrow morning. We have also ordered new furniture, cabinets and beds for the rooms, which will arrive in the next few days. You can rest assured about the quality, and the landlord has already paid for these expenses, so you don't need to pay extra. He doesn't expect to make money from this, and he is not willing to use it to make major changes to the B&B.
I told him that you are not the kind of person who would damage the house, and the landlord hopes that you will bring some life to the house so that it won't be completely abandoned in a few years. What do you think?"
Yang Chenguang seemed to be explaining, but was also tactfully reminding Du Ruo to take good care of the house, otherwise he, as the middleman, would be in a difficult position.
"Yeah, it's all pretty good. The lighting is a little dim. I like it brighter. Just change to a bigger light."
Du Ruo understood what Yang Chenguang meant. He didn't make any more promises. There was no need for that. Du Ruo was not a sloppy person who didn't know how to take care of herself.
"Yeah, it's a little dark. I've made a note of it. If nothing else, it'll probably take another two days to finish. By then, I'll write a contract and you can move in after you sign it."
The two walked around again, and it was getting completely dark. Du Ruo was quite satisfied with the house. He rejected Yang Chenguang's invitation to go back for dinner. After seeing him off, Du Ruo walked towards his residence.
When I passed by the pub, I found that it was open and the lights on the second floor were on. I guess Xiang Yuanyuan and Li Qiyao had already returned from climbing the mountain.
Du Ruo did not go in to look for someone immediately. The other person had been out hiking for a day and had just returned to visit him. Du Ruo was not so tactless.
Du Ruo returned to the B&B, took out tea leaves and started making tea in the yard.
"Boss Du, you look so relaxed, didn't you practice martial arts today?"
A pot of tea was brewed three times, and the pile of stones beside it was used up again. At this time, Xiang Yuanyuan's voice was heard at the door.
"You are here. The gate to the yard is not locked. Please come in."
Du Ruo looked outside and saw Xiang Yuanyuan and Li Qiyao standing at the door. He quickly invited them in, poured out the tea leaves in the teapot, and started making tea again.
"How about tea? Did you conquer Little Huangshan?"
Du Ruo asked the two to sit down and looked at each other. Xiang Yuanyuan was wearing loose pajamas to cover her figure, and only the occasional breeze revealed some traces of it. Li Qiyao was wearing a long dress. The light green floral dress made her look so fragile. Both of them had hair that was not completely dry, and they carried a hint of fragrance when they walked, presumably they had just finished washing.
"Don't underestimate us. I go to Huangshan once a month and I can easily conquer it every time."
Xiang Yuanyuan was not polite either. She put down the small jar in her hand, picked up the teacup that Du Ruo pushed in front of her, drank the tea in two sips, smacked her lips after drinking it, and seemed to think the taste was a little bland. She opened the small jar, and a strong smell of alcohol filled the air. She put it to her lips and took a sip, then smiled.
"Thank you~"
Li Qiyao put a cloth bag aside, thanked him, and then picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Yuanyuan, every time I see you, you never put down your wine. You must be addicted to alcohol." Du Ruo did not talk about the matter right away, but continued to refill the tea for the two of them. Seeing that Yuanyuan did not seem to have any intention of continuing to drink tea, he picked up his phone and sent a message to the owner of the night snack stall, asking him to send some snacks over.
“How can drinking become addictive if there is no alcohol addiction?”
Xiang Yuanyuan waved his hand nonchalantly, and couldn't help but take another sip of wine after he finished speaking.
"Then how do you feel if you don't drink for three days? I heard that alcoholics' hands will shake if they don't drink for three days."
"I don't know what it feels like. Anyway, I drink every day. It's not been that long since I last drank."
Xiang Yuanyuan didn't care, but what he said made Li Qiyao on the side couldn't help but look sideways.
The owner of the late-night snack stall quickly brought the snacks, and Xiang Yuanyuan drank even more happily.
"Boss Du, this is a design I drew last night based on your blueprint. It's a relatively simple drawing. What do you think of it? Then tell me the details so I can make some adjustments."
After chatting for a while, Li Qiyao took out a piece of white paper from the cloth bag and showed it to Du Ruo.
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll clean up the table."
When Du Ruo heard that the other party had already drawn a version, he quickly took away the tea set on the table, leaving only a corner for Xiang Yuanyuan's snacks, and also took a dry towel to wipe the table clean.
After doing all this, he took the white paper handed to him by Li Qiyao and spread it flat on the table.
The lights in the yard are very bright, and you can see the design drawings clearly even when sitting outside at night.
The paper was very large. It was not the A4 paper that Du Ruo casually picked up. It seemed to be a special drawing paper. What Du Ruo had drawn was already on it, and it was redrawn on the drawing paper with a pencil.
"Amazing! You are indeed a professional. Your drawing is better than mine."
Du Ruo couldn't help but praise it after taking a look at it. After hearing this, Xiang Yuanyuan also came over to take a look at the painting on the table, and then couldn't help but curled her lips. This painting was not only better, the ring drawn by Du Ruo was just a ring, the coiled dragon drawn was a lizard, and the silk thread drawn was really a strand of silk thread.
The ring drawn by Li Qiyao looked like a piece of jewelry, and the coiled dragon was vivid. Even the simplest silk thread was painted with light and dark, showing a hint of transparency. Some introductions and requirements were also re-copied in beautiful handwriting on the side.
In comparison, Du Ruo's paintings are simply unbearable to look at.
"Tell me the details you want to change, and I'll write them down."
Li Qiyao took out a glasses case, took out a pair of glasses and put them on, then took a pen in one hand and a small notebook in the other, and looked at Du Ruo seriously. When it came to professional matters, the other party no longer had that tender look in his eyes, and wearing glasses made him look more capable.
But... the temptation seems to be even greater. After all, Du Ruo has no resistance to women wearing glasses.
"Well, first of all, the dragon claws need to be tightened, and the tail needs to be flat, so that it can be projected... Then there is the bracket inside the bracelet. I have a set of specific data here, with requirements for the size of each component. Please record it... and..."
Du Ruo took a sip of tea, suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind, then pointed to the drawings and gave a detailed explanation, down to the size of each part and the requirements for each bending range.
