Yuqiangou is very close. You can get there by horse-drawn carriage in more than half an hour outside the town.
It has been seven or eight days since work started, but Song Qiu still came back here for the first time. After Lihua and Aling finished teaching them how to eat, they came to see it twice and talked to Song Qiu when they came back. Song Qiu couldn't help it, so he took the opportunity to leave.
Come and see for yourself.
When they arrived at the place, Song Qiu's eyes were really bright.
I saw the Yushu Valley, with the official road in the middle, and a deep forest with dense elm trees on the left. I couldn't see the depth of the forest.
On the right is a very large grassland. As far as the eye can see, the villages at the end are as small as the paintings.
The grass is so big that even the wind seems to be stronger and unstoppable.
It's a cold day, and the wind is really uncomfortable and howling, but if it's spring or summer, it's extremely cool and comfortable here.
The four acres of land next to the official road are busy in full swing.
The people working there were so densely packed that it was impossible to see them at a glance, so the progress was naturally gratifying.
It's already taking shape now.
Just like the drawings at Daxing Yazi in Chunlin Town, these two places, as well as every inn that needs to be built in the future, have the same drawings.
That is, everything is based on the style of Songshan Inn.
The all-wooden inn has only one floor, with a lobby in the middle, a row of side rooms on both sides, and a row of houses behind it.
The layout inside is the same. Once you enter the main door, you will find the lobby, which is spacious enough to hold eight tables.
There is a door on the left and right sides, and the walkway is divided into two opposite rows. There are a total of twenty guest rooms. One side is an independent wing, and the other side is a large shop.
The corridor at the back leads to the large kitchen, and there are two small rooms on both sides of the corridor, which are for the inn's own residents.
Outside the inn, there is a tea shed on one side and a carriage and horse shed on the other.
Because the land here is spacious, much larger than that of the Songshan River, the tea shed was built larger.
It's not a thatched shed, it's also made entirely of wood. There are four rooms in total, one for the kitchen and three for guests to sit in. Each room has four tables.
In this way, even if a lot of people come at once, there is still room for everyone to sit.
The carriage and horse sheds on the other side are also much larger. There are rows of sheds with horse posts and horse troughs, which are very eye-catching.
There is also a large space left at the back for parking carriages and placing goods. It is surrounded by wooden stakes as high as one person. The tops of the wooden stakes are sharpened. When people stay in the hotel, the cargo carriages and the like are placed.
Go in and the door is locked outside, making it difficult for anyone to get in.
Want to climb over the wooden fence? Try it and see if the sharp point can poke your butt.
All of this combined is enough to show how grand this place will be.
When the time comes, passers-by will look at it from a distance, and anyone will be tempted to come in and have a seat.
In addition to the four acres of land she bought that can be dug up and built, this piece of grass is huge. When the time comes to dry clothes, bedding, clothes, etc. in the back, it can be left open to dry, and the land is huge.
In addition, on the side of the tea shed, there are a few wooden stakes in the open space for tea shed guests to rest their horses and other animals. It is also very convenient. After the guests have rested, they can immediately turn around and lead them away.
Carpenter Mao not only took over the construction of these two inns, but also took over all the furniture needed for the inns. This was a big deal. The wages plus the profit from the wood were enough for his family to live a prosperous New Year this year.
.
Not to mention him, the combined wages of his men who build houses and do carpentry are enough to fill their pockets.
It's rare to encounter such a situation where all wooden houses are built. Carpenter Mao is very excited. After dealing with Yang Dalian these days, he knows that his master's family specializes in opening inns, and will build them next to the official road like this in the future.
There will be no shortage of inns. He has a quick mind and has many ideas.
Not to mention distant places, he just thought that if there was any place to be built in the area of Jianping County and Guiping County in the future, it would be contracted to him!
It's no problem if they go further. They can go on their own and don't have to worry about food and accommodation.
There are not many others under his command, but there are many people who can endure hardship!
Carpenter Mao mentioned this to Yang Dalian. He didn't see Song Qiu, the head of the family, and just wanted to establish contact with Yang Dalian, the manager, and ask him to help explain it.
Yang Dalian really mentioned this to Song Qiu when he came back. Song Qiu thought that it would be better to use the raw than the familiar, so he agreed without hesitation. From now on, whenever there is a need to build an inn in these two counties, he will find a carpenter to do it.
Already.
After Carpenter Mao learned about it, he was naturally happy.
No, when he saw Song Qiu and the others coming, Yang Dalian went up to greet them. He knew that this was the master's house, and immediately followed him over to talk to Song Qiu about the progress.
After Song Qiu heard the report, he looked around again.
Because the inns and teahouses here need to use water every day, and there are no villages or rivers around, Song Qiu asked Yang Dalian to find an experienced well digger.
A suitable place for digging a well was found in a place about a hundred paces away from the inn.
After two days of fighting, there is really water coming out from below, and there is a lot of water flowing.
Now the water problem is no longer a problem.
After seeing it, I didn’t stay much longer, so I took a carriage back to town with Lihua Aling.
Go back and pack up, and we will set off back to Chunlin Town early tomorrow morning.
She didn't plan to take Yang Dalian away. She would leave him here to control the situation and just take Mian Mian and Ah Yin back with her.
The ten or so miles back to Zhang Town was not far, and it was a long and leisurely journey. I thought I could still catch some food when I got back.
But when they saw that they were not far from the town, their carriage was suddenly blocked by several people, who quickly surrounded them, trying to prevent them from escaping.
The most angry among these people was the one at the head, who had a shiny face, and the small white pimples on his face made Song Qiu feel sick even if he looked at them again.
To be honest, she doesn’t dislike people based on their appearance!
I really have trypophobia. There are small white pimples all over my forehead and face. It’s really not a good look.
"Young ladies, let's have some fun with your brothers!"
There was a roar of laughter, and a few fools looked at the three people on the carriage with evil eyes, their eyes seemed to have substance.
The driver was Song Qiu. When he heard the noise, he lifted the curtain and peeked out. It was Aling and Lihua who had half of his head.
But none of the three people showed fear. Instead, they looked at the people in front of the car with half-smiles, as if they were watching a trick.
The fat man in the lead couldn't help but get angry, "Hey! You lady is quite temperamental! But no matter how temperamental you are, you will be unlucky today. You've bumped into some of our brothers. If you don't keep us company, don't even think about leaving!"
They have been staring at these girls for several days. They have caught their eye since they first came to Zhang Town, but they have never found an opportunity.
I did run into them and went out a few times, but they were surrounded by people, so it was difficult to take action.
I finally caught a great opportunity today. It's just a car, three girls, and no one else. If I miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to find another opportunity.
These three girls are not only good-looking, but also have a lot of money in their pockets!
Just for fun, you can still make some money, so happy!
At that moment, after the fat man finished speaking, he led a few brothers to rush into the carriage, took control of the carriage and rushed to a corner where there was no one to start his attack.
