Song Tan's Notes

Master Jiang arranged the large air conditioner very quickly, and Song Tan’s current task was to go with Lu Chuan to check the progress of the B&B.

The area was marked out at the end of last year, and in January we brought in materials, made plans, and laid the foundation. Early February belongs to the first month of the lunar calendar, and no ground can be broken before the fifteenth day of the first month, which is just the right time to discuss the overall style.

Now, in late March, it has been 40 days since the official start of construction.

In 40 days, two homestays were built and renovated. This was another big job that the person in charge, Lao Xu, had assigned to his team in the new year.

As a result, a large number of workers gathered there. At the beginning, they could even eat in the canteen on the mountain. As the progress accelerated, work was carried out on multiple lines, working in shifts day and night... Master Jiang could not handle it alone, so the engineering team started to do it themselves.

Nowadays, there are several family members who cook.

Old Xu is a responsible person, and the team he brought in is also reliable. Even if there are those who want to cheat, Zhang Yanping comes here twice a day, and his tough aura is enough to intimidate everyone.

Especially during the Chinese New Year, he came to the construction site and was accidentally covered with cement, so he quickly took off his sweater, revealing the Azure Dragon on the left and the White Tiger on the right...

cough.

In short, Song Tan now told this story to Lu Chuan, and he agreed seriously: "It is indeed very deterrent."

"But it's really hard for him to come and see it every day - when his B&B opens, what should I give him as a gift?"

Song Tan thought for a moment and said, "Then you can give me a computer."

"These two people have become extremely poor and heavily in debt in order to run this B&B. They can't even afford to buy a computer for the front desk. It just so happens that your gift can help them out of their urgent need."

  Lu Chuan nodded. He was always very obedient in this regard. Looking at the workers painting and mixing colors on the elevated platform, and then looking at the colors painted on the first time, he nodded:

"Designer Zhao worked very well with the team. The construction team was able to reproduce the colors in the renderings."

Song Tan nodded: "Of course, they have been working together for many years, but they had other options before."

"But since Old Xu built a villa for our family before, Zhao Fangyuan seems to have discussed new cooperation with him. The two of them discussed house construction and decoration styles, and they were able to produce good results."

  That's not the case!

Old Xu now treats Song Tan as his top client!

After all, in this current environment where the construction industry is in a slump, Song Tan's family built a villa in the first half of the year, a factory in the second half, a dormitory in late autumn, and two more homestays in the spring and New Year's Eve.

Be nice!

If he doesn't do his best to serve such a big client, then he has no time to stay in this line of work.

  Seeing Song Tan coming over, he took out a big black umbrella from a distance to greet him:

"Hurry, hurry, hold the umbrella, or the paint will fall off."

As he was speaking, a blob of cream-yellow paint "popped" onto his safety helmet.

Old Xu didn't care at all. Seeing Lu Chuan taking the umbrella and holding it for Song Tan, he couldn't help but glance at him again -

  Tsk! These rough guys working on the construction site don't look good. The gap between them and others is too big!

Song Tan stared at the colorful colors outside and asked curiously, "How good is the interior?"

Old Xu was proud: "Come in and take a look! The ceiling latex paint is all done!"

"Then we will start cleaning the land, and prepare the furniture and appliances."

"We can use this time to install the light switches and other things. Then we can assign people to repair the road outside."

"Even though it's just a short stretch of road, it will cost a lot of money to make it smooth and convenient for driving and parking."

  "It just so happens that the exterior facade is not yet completed, so if there are any problems with the installation of furniture and appliances inside, we can fix them immediately." Lu Chuan was also surprised!

It rained continuously when he first arrived, and the road outside the construction site was not paved yet and was full of mud, so he was unable to come and see it for many days.

I came back to see it again when the rain stopped, but the walls hadn't been painted yet and the overall look was still a bit messy.

It’s only been a short time and it’s almost finished!

  So, if everything else goes well, it should be completed by early April, right?

"Of course!"

Old Xu was proud: "We work in three shifts day and night, just to avoid delaying the progress!"

"You don't have to worry about the furniture and appliances. Didn't we ask Designer Zhao to take care of it? She contacted the factory and made the arrangements long ago. Once we were notified, they were ready to go."

"It won't interfere with business at all."

  Seeing that the next project under his charge was about to be completed, Lao Xu was happy in his heart, because this meant that a large sum of final payment would soon be received!

It's like this in their construction industry. If the work isn't finished, the workers can't be paid. They've been working non-stop for a month or two.

  In Song Tan's family, even Zhang Yanping, who had no money, never defaulted on payments - this was the real god-like Party A!

Old Xu cherishes it.

"Besides, we are also down-to-earth people. We didn't use wallpaper to save trouble, and we didn't use glue on the wall. Rural houses are originally tall and spacious. Once the ventilation is good, the house is very safe!"

"If you don't believe me, ask Boss Song. After her villa was renovated, she arranged a team to test for formaldehyde... It's safe!"

Old Xu took the two of them up and down and around with great enthusiasm. The outside was painted in the shape of colorful mushrooms, and the inside was also divided into different color partitions according to the different houses.

Although it looks flashy, the colors are matched very harmoniously. Once the home furnishings customized by Zhao Fangyuan are put in, the appearance will probably be doubled.

Old Xu felt sad when thinking about this——

It's great to have money.

To chase a girlfriend, I have to come to the village and spend so much money to build a homestay——

He admitted that Song Tan's products were good and worth buying! If they were willing to sell them freely, he would be willing to drive thousands of miles back and forth just to buy the freshest products.

But...they just don’t want to sell it!

She doesn’t even market herself on local networks. I heard that a while ago someone was doing a live broadcast to promote her blooming orchard, but she didn’t allow it.

The aroma of this wine is all hidden in the alley. So much money was spent and so many good things were used to build this B&B...

Old Xu's face was full of enthusiasm, but his heart was beating nervously.

"Because each room here is designed individually, you have to keep an eye on the drawings in real time, so the progress is actually slower than Boss Zhang's."

"He mainly does affordable housing, the rooms are neat and tidy, and the exterior is not decorated like yours. The project will be ready by next week at the latest!"

  Speaking of his pride, Old Xu couldn't help but ask:

"Actually, I know quite a few foodies who love traveling. Since we're opening, do you want me to give some publicity?"
