Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons

The young girl pouted unconvincedly, "Then why don't you try to come up with a name and let me see how powerful you are!"

There was a hint of cunning in her challenge, and she was obviously looking forward to her brother's creativity.

Zhang Ming thought for a moment, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. "'Flying mirror under the moon, clouds forming sea tower', I think 'Moon Cloud Tower' sounds particularly good. It has both classical charm and a hint of ethereal artistic conception, which makes people yearn for it as soon as they hear it."

Zhang Wuya heard this, her eyes flickered, and she teased, "Zicheng, it seems that you have not studied in vain. Now you speak with a bit of the elegance of ancient scholars. People who don't know you would think you are some talented person who lives in seclusion in the mountains."

Zhang Ming laughed when he heard this, his voice full of pride, "Hehehe, as a younger brother, I am both civil and military. I can recite poems and compose couplets, and I can also make girls laugh. When I sing love songs, I can also make girls' hearts ripple."

Xiao Youniang couldn't stand Zhang Mingyi's narcissistic look. She rolled her eyes exaggeratedly, but said harshly, "Yueyun Tower is just so-so! Let's be down-to-earth and design the blueprint first to see how to make the most reasonable layout. After the design is completed, we can ask our parents for their opinions. Don't just brag here."

Zhang Mingyi stopped laughing and became serious: "Okay, let me tell you my idea first. First, there is a large flow of people at Hongsi Pavilion. We need to build a spacious stable to store enough horses. It must also be equipped with a neat hay warehouse. The scale and professionalism must exceed that of Hongsi Pavilion, so as to attract passing tourists."

Zhang Wuya quickly took notes and nodded in agreement: "Well, this is a good idea. I have to write it down. I also noticed that other inns have rooms of several grades, from the luxurious Tianzihao to the simple firewood room. All kinds of needs are taken into consideration. We should also learn from this and provide different levels of services."

Zhang Wuya's fingers nimbly sketched on the paper, outlining the outline of the restaurant stroke by stroke. The other two also put forward their suggestions from time to time. The tacit understanding between the three seemed to fill the air with sparks of creativity.

Xiao Youniang rested her elbows lightly on the table, her chin resting on her palms, and her eyes focused on the blueprint on the paper. "I think our territory is quite spacious. There is no need to squeeze food and accommodation into a crowded space like ordinary restaurants. We can learn from the design of the historic restaurant in our hometown and build two buildings. One is for accommodation, with an elegant and quiet environment; the other is used as a restaurant and tea room to create a lively and festive atmosphere."

Zhang Mingyi clapped his hands vigorously, his eyes sparkling with excitement. "Great, with the two buildings as the center, we can open several specialty shops on both sides, selling men's and women's clothing, rouge and powder. In the future, this place will definitely become a beautiful landscape in Yangzhou City!"

Zhang Wuya quickly recorded everyone's wonderful ideas, and her thoughts gradually became clear. "For such a large project, we must be stationed there to manage it. I think the land next to the grove has a pleasant scenery. We can set aside a piece of land to build a small and exquisite courtyard. It doesn't need to be too luxurious, but it must be warm and comfortable, enough to accommodate our family."

Xiao Youniang gave a thumbs up, her eyes full of praise, "As expected of a sister, you are so thoughtful. This way, we don't have to run around every day, going back and forth between home and the construction site."

Zhang Mingyi continued to add bricks and tiles, "This small courtyard must not only be warm and comfortable, but also fully functional. In addition to the bedrooms for a family of six, a study, kitchen, toilet and bathroom are essential infrastructure. In addition, in case relatives or friends come to visit, at least two guest rooms must be prepared as a courtesy. In this way, a total of twelve rooms are needed."

Xiao Youniang added, "Also, Xia Yue will definitely come with us. When the time comes, we won't have enough manpower at home, and we'll have to hire maids and servants to help with laundry, cooking, and cleaning. So it's necessary to build five or six servants' rooms so that everyone has an independent resting space and can work more vigorously."

Zhang Wuya pondered for a moment and proposed a more flexible plan: "Let's plan it carefully. If the space is really limited, we can also consider building a small two-story building on that piece of land. The upper and lower floors are staggered, which can not only save floor space but also meet living needs. No matter how it is designed, it should be sufficient."

Xiao Youniang tapped her fingers lightly on the table, her thoughts developing a new direction. "Speaking of servants' housing, that reminds me. The daily operation of restaurants and shops definitely requires manpower to take care of them. Whether it's hiring local residents or purchasing labor from outside, the servants' accommodation problem must also be solved. Their dormitories must be built in a separate building, and gender differences must be taken into consideration. Male and female servants must live separately. This will make management more convenient and more in line with etiquette."

The three children had a lively discussion while drawing on paper. The whole afternoon passed quietly in the collision of laughter and inspiration.

Before I knew it, the setting sun was hanging low in the sky, giving the study a layer of golden glow.

At the same time, Xu Liyun, who had been busy all day, walked out of the soap workshop and looked for the children.

Usually at this time of year, they always liked to play in the tea room, but today they were nowhere to be seen, and I couldn't help but feel curious.

She returned to the Zhang family compound and just stepped into the living room, but unexpectedly found that everyone was gathered in the study, having a heated discussion.

She walked closer quietly and listened attentively. As the content of the conversation became clearer, Xu Liyun couldn't help but frown slightly.

Although these kids are naughty, they have unique ideas and their designs are ingenious, but...

She calculated in her mind that such a scale and idea would be difficult to achieve without five thousand taels of silver! The huge amount made her feel dizzy for a moment.

The blue-gray bricks are calm and simple, and are matched with high-quality wood with clear texture and natural fragrance.

These building materials, plus the exquisite decoration costs and day-to-day labor expenses, each item is like an invisible mountain, weighing on the heart, reminding everyone of one fact without exception.

Everything needs to be supported by hard-earned money.

"It's a good idea, but we have to work harder to make more money. Once we have ten thousand taels of silver in our hands, I will have no objection."

There was a hint of relief and expectation in Xu Liyun's words, but more of a consideration of the actual situation.

Ten thousand taels of silver may sound like an unattainable number, but for Xiao Youniang, it is not an unattainable dream.

In her memory, in the days before the snowstorm, they could earn three thousand taels of silver a month. The joy of the harvest seemed to be relived yesterday, making her firmly believe that good days would come again soon.
