Seeing Ma Long's worried look, Li Fan had no choice but to agree: "Then I'll trouble Mr. Ma."
This reassures Ma Long, and besides, he says that his house is indeed old and should be renovated. This is killing two birds with one stone.
And not only is the house getting old, but it is starting to become less habitable. Now Li Hao and Liu Lei sleep in the same room. In the future, if a relative comes to the house or has some use, there is no extra room.
By the way, when he thought about Li Hao and Liu Lei, he forgot where these two boys had gone. He had been busy all morning and didn't see them.
"Happily, it's settled!"
Seeing Li Fan agree, Ma Long's heart dropped to his stomach.
"Dad, where did Mouse and Leizi go?"
"Oh, they saw that you were busy and didn't know what to do, so they took the initiative to go to Qian Duoer's house to help."
Li Fan nodded, it's okay, Qian Duo'er is really a bit busy now, and he doesn't have time to go over and help.
It just so happens that I have nothing to do these days, so it would be a good idea to ask two people to help Qian Duoer.
As soon as he finished speaking, three workers came in with the drawn pictures.
"Mr. Li, let's go out for a meal together."
"I won't go."
Li Fan thought that if he had nothing to do in the afternoon, he would go to Qian Duoer's place to help him.
"Go ahead, I haven't thanked you just now. We just want to have dinner together and discuss the layout of the house. Then let Tian Ao draw the pictures for you."
Li Fan thought about it and it made sense, so he nodded in agreement. The three workers measured the dimensions of the house and went out to eat together.
The car drove directly to the door of Yihe Aman. Li Fan raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that Ma Long would be so generous when dining with the workers.
Although it cannot be said that people of Ma Long's class cannot afford to eat at Yihe Aman, it is definitely rare to come here to eat with workers.
"It's better to choose a different date. I originally booked a different hotel, but after you said that today, I want to try the tofu from Yihe Aman."
Perhaps seeing through Li Fan's surprise, Ma Long said with a smile.
Several people entered the Summer Palace Aman. When the lobby manager saw the group, he greeted them with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Li, Mr. Ma, what brought you two here?"
"I'm here to treat Mr. Li to dinner today and arrange a good private room for me." Ma Long patted the lobby manager on the shoulder.
"Don't worry while I do the work."
The lobby manager of Aman Yihe is very popular. Although his words are smooth, he does not make people feel greasy. At first glance, it is clear that he has been immersed in the experience accumulated in the hotel industry for many years.
The group of people were arranged into a private room. After a humble meal, Ma Long ordered a few dishes and asked: "Can you recommend to me which dish with tofu tastes best?"
When the manager heard this, he immediately understood that Ma Long was treating guests and came here specifically to support Li Fan.
"This means that Mr. Li's tofu will always be delicious no matter how you make it and put it in any dish."
"But if you want to say that the cooking method that can reflect the original taste of tofu is this steamed borneol, it is a new dish specially developed by our chef Chen for this kind of tofu."
"The soup stock is obtained by stewing tube bones for 24 hours, filtering, adding minced chicken and continuing to stew, and filtering it many times. This tofu is carved by the master's hand with a single knife."
“Finally, the broth is slowly poured onto the tofu and steamed, which is very labor-intensive.”
"The tofu produced in this way not only retains the original flavor of the tofu, but also uses the stock to increase the aroma. Coupled with the knife skills of our chef, it can be said to be full of color, flavor and flavor."
The lobby manager said it one by one, just like singing, making people feel like they are tasting the deliciousness of tofu before they even take it into their mouths.
Even Li Fan looked at the menu curiously and wondered. No wonder Yihe Aman dared to charge such an expensive price for tofu. The price of 50 per kilogram of tofu shocked others, but Yihe Aman...
After a spectacular operation, a dish of essentially a piece of tofu and soup stock was sold for 1888.
"Okay, add a portion of this. As you say, not eating this dish feels like my loss."
"Mr. Ma, this dish will definitely not disappoint you."
"Okay, go out, you don't need anyone to look after you here."
After that, the lobby manager walked out with several waiters.
Aman Yihe is the same as ordinary high-end hotels. There is a pantry in the private room. The chef prepares cold dishes and arranges the dishes in the pantry. The room is equipped with a service room to pour wine and clean up the garbage at any time.
Chores.
"Mr. Li, please briefly tell me the layout you want for the house. I will make the renderings at that time. If you are not satisfied with it, I will adjust it."
Li Fan thought about it and realized that what their family lacked the most was rooms. He had an illusion that there would be more and more people in their family in the future.
"I actually don't care about these. I care more about practicality, so I'll figure out how to make reasonable arrangements to make more rooms."
"That means making the building high." Zhao Tianao touched his chin and looked at the picture drawn by the worker: "But if the area is too high, it will be ugly and appear top-heavy."
"That won't work." Li Fan quickly refused.
What he cares about is not whether it looks good or not, but that being top-heavy is not a good phenomenon in Feng Shui. This kind of house will have a great impact on the family.
It will cause the family to become arrogant and disrespectful, and it will also easily affect the family's ideas, causing the family members to gradually become unrealistic and unwilling to be down-to-earth, thus affecting the fortune of the younger generations in the family.
Coupled with his improving career, living in this kind of house will further encourage this kind of atmosphere in the family, especially since there is a young girl.
A house with this layout would undoubtedly be a huge disaster for their family.
Zhao Tianao didn't understand this. When Li Fan said he didn't care about the appearance, he quickly refused because he said something ugly. This shows that men are tough-talking and he has seen many such customers.
"Then Mr. Li should think about it and see what pattern he wants."
If it was just an ordinary layout with the same rooms, it would be better not to build a new house and delay things. His current house was quite good, but it was a bit older. He didn't care about such superficial things.
If the house is rebuilt, the family will have to find a spare room to move in, which will cause a series of troubles.
"Then don't cover it now. I'll think about it later."
"Mr. Li, why did you suddenly stop building a house?" Ma Long, who had been silent just now, spoke up.
He finally tried his best to come up with a way to moisturize things and please Li Fan silently. He and his son's illness hadn't been diagnosed yet, so why didn't they cover it up?
"I heard from Uncle Li that this house is quite old, and the two rooms are leaking. It will definitely need to be renovated in the future. If there is such a good opportunity, why not build it together with the factory building to save trouble."
