Chapter 934 Boss Chen
The next day, Lu Miao brought people to check the situation in the yard and called Chen Xiangdong along.

One of the options is to take him there to get to know the place first.

If he needs to keep an eye on her later, he can also listen to what she is communicating with others at this moment.

This way, when he comes over later, I won’t know how to pretend or what to move.

The main gate is a vermilion Guangliang gate, which is two and a half to three meters high and about three and a half meters wide.

Solid wood doors are very heavy and difficult to open.

Lu Miao couldn't do it, so he led his men through the side door on the corresponding side street.

After entering the side door, there is a corridor more than 30 meters long, with doors facing each other on both sides, each with three small rooms.

In the past, it should have been where doormen and maids lived.

There is a door across this corridor. Push open this door and you will reach the first front courtyard of the three courtyards.

Lu Miao led the group through the screen wall with a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix at the corresponding gate, crossed the hanging flower gate, and explained his ideas and requirements as he walked in:

"There is a stage in the yard. I don't plan to keep it. You can tear it down and level this area. Use bricks of similar color to build a small second floor for me."

Engineer Chen was arranged by the engineering company. After all, he was a professional. Engineer Chen could roughly predict Lu Miao's arrangement and immediately said:

"Build a two-story building, and keep the architectural elements the same as the rest of the yard, right?"

"Yes, but I don't want an ordinary flat."

As Lu Miao spoke, he took out the mind map he had made in advance from his bag.

"This is the overall outline. The lower part is indoors, and this part is elevated to be used as an outdoor teahouse or something. The upper part corresponding to the teahouse will be a terrace of 30 to 40 square meters, and then the rooms. My expected dimensions are written here, and you can refer to them and make your own decisions based on the actual plan."

Engineer Chen took Lu Miao's mind map and nodded as he read it:
"Okay."

Lu Miao had taken talent classes in the past and had learned painting.

But paintings, sketches, etc. are very different from design drawings.

She was not a professional designer and only sketched out a few outlines. But after listening to her description, these things were enough for the engineering team to refer to.

"Shall we take a look inside?"

"Hey, okay!"

Engineer Chen took out a pencil and quickly wrote a few strokes on the drawing.

After that, he packed up his things and continued walking inside with Lu Miao together with Chen Xiangdong.

The last time Lu Miao came here, she estimated that the courtyard covered an area of ​​about 500 to 600 square meters, but the actual area far exceeded her estimate.

Why is Mr. Chen called Mr. Chen?

It's not that he is called this name, but his surname is Chen and he is an engineer in an engineering company. That's how people in the industry call him.

Engineer Chen is a professional. He walked around and looked at every place, and quickly gave the area data.

The total usable area of ​​this courtyard should be between 780 and 820 square meters.

The reason why it is so different from Lu Miao's estimation is that there are many winding and divided partitions. Judging from the visual effects, non-professionals think that it is about 500 to 600 square meters.

Lu Miao was slightly shocked.

In addition to the area, there were some other places that surprised her.

The small courtyard has a different world.

Although it is an old courtyard, many of its buildings and facilities are very exquisite and magnificent, and are very well preserved.

When Lu Miao was communicating with Engineer Chen, they spent a long time talking about the cable routing issue alone.

Because we want to minimize damage to the building and make the circuit route invisible.

The yard is so large that it is really difficult to do this.

Mr. Chen had a general idea, but he didn't dare to make any guarantees immediately. He just said he would plan it carefully when he got back.

Lu Miao nodded, then turned around and mentioned another problem that needed to be solved: heating.

Anyone who understands knows how cold it is in the north in winter.

As the house becomes larger, the thermal insulation effect is greatly reduced.

There are either elderly people or children in the house. If we want to use this yard as our own home, the problem of heating in winter must be solved.

The premise for solving this problem is that it is best not to destroy the original building.

Just think about how difficult this is!

Lu Miao claimed that this was a difficult job, but Engineer Chen put away the drawing he had just hastily copied, waved his hand and said with a smile:

"This is a small matter. The existing facilities in the yard can solve this problem. What needs to be solved is probably the small second floor you want to build."

Engineer Chen led Lu Miao to visit several places at random. Some of the floors were paved with wooden boards, and some had one or two hollow flower tiles inlaid near the outside of the windows.

Lu Miao originally thought it was a decoration, but after Engineer Chen explained it to him, he realized that it was a ground trap and its ventilation holes.

The ground cage is also called the ground kang.

Like the kang, these are indoor heating facilities invented by our ancestors in winter.

But compared with the kang, the advantage of the ground cage is that it is more hidden and will not affect the overall beauty of the yard at all.

"Okay, apart from these issues, there is also the issue of water use. The walls of the areas designated as kitchens, bathrooms and sinks can be moved to ensure smooth water flow. Several partitioned courtyards also need to have reservations for hidden faucets."

Lu Miao pondered for a while and continued:

"The damaged or old areas in the yard were appropriately renovated. I wanted to achieve a transparent effect indoors."

"Row."

Engineer Chen nodded, wrote down the request carefully, and soon continued to finalize the movable parts of the yard with Lu Miao.

Lu Miao required transparency and good lighting. While keeping the original building as much as possible, doors and windows can be replaced within a certain range.

Lu Miao made a few appropriate suggestions.

There was no term "New Chinese style" at that time, but her ideas finally turned out to have the effect of New Chinese style.

In fact, it’s not that bad. Incorporating a few new Chinese elements into the traditional courtyard won’t be too abrupt.

After listening to all her requests, Mr. Chen nodded and said:
"Okay, I understand. I'll go back and discuss it with other colleagues. We can come up with a preliminary charter in about ten days."

This time exceeded Lu Miao's expectations, but it was indeed not something that could be rushed.

Lu Miao thought about it for a while, then nodded and agreed.

How would she know?

If we really want to start construction, the engineering company will be able to transfer a batch of building materials tomorrow and we can officially start construction the day after tomorrow.

But this yard is obviously a cadre yard.

Given its geographical location and the size of its facilities, it is not an ordinary cadre compound.

Mr. Chen did not dare to act rashly.

After looking around the yard, the three of them walked out.

Chen Xiangdong helped lock the two side doors.

After a while, they stood on the side of the side street. Before parting, Lu Miao and Chen Gong carefully introduced Chen Xiangdong.

It shows that Chen Xiangdong is hers.

If she is not available to come over later, the coordination between the engineering team and Chen Xiangdong will be the same.

"Okay."

Mr. Chen nodded, rubbed his hands on his body, and called Chen Xiangdong "Boss Chen" when shaking hands with him, which meant they were acquainted.
