…

Although Xu Kai no longer had to run to Xiangnan because Tian Haitang withdrew from the "Singer" competition, and Xu Kai also completed the filming on the crew of "Escape" and lost a place to check in, but during this period, Xu Kai became busier.

After more than two months of construction, the road in front of No. 1, Furong Village can be opened to traffic - it is not completely repaired, but the road on the left has been repaired, and it will take about a month to complete the construction.

Because it was open to traffic, Xu Kai decided to find someone to clean up No. 1 Furong Village.

Unlike Xu Yun, Cui Min and others who looked down on the old house No. 1 Furong Village, Xu Kai felt that this old house was quiet and cleaned up well and it was a paradise-like manor, which was a good place that was difficult to buy even if you had money.

In addition, this old house was left by the ancestors of the Xu family after all, and it has extraordinary significance for the descendants of the Xu family, at least so what Xu Kai believes.

In addition, unlike living in another place, you have to worry about being photographed and being followed. After the road in front of this old house is repaired, as long as someone is sent to guard this road, no paparazzi can get up or capture the mountainside that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Xu Kai can have a pure land that is not disturbed by outsiders.

This last point is particularly important - Xu Kai’s private life is too inconsistent. If he doesn’t have a piece of his own private space, he will not be annoyed by the endless paparazzi in the future?

In addition, Xu Kai's family also has a large population, including Xu Kai, Dong Ye, Dong Ni, Yang Xinchun, Yang Xindong, Tian Haitang, Qi Qiaoqiao, and Xu Yun, Cui Min, Xu Li, Tang Yun and Xu Mai (although they don't live here, they must leave the place for them, what if they want to come back one day), plus Tieliang, Ding Ergou, Li Dongsheng and Li Zimei, there are nearly 30 people in total, and so many people can't live in ordinary places...

In short, Xu Kai is preparing to build No. 1 Furong Village into his own base camp.

In this way, Xu Kaishi must clean up No. 1 Furong Village.

After all, this old house that has been in disrepair has many facilities and settings that can no longer keep up with the times, and it even lacks many necessary facilities and settings, such as no parking lot, no swimming pool, no bathroom, and Yang Xindong's singing room, Tian Haitang's kitchen, Dong Ye's gym, etc.

In addition, No. 1, Furong Village is too big. Even if Xu Kai’s family has a large population, he cannot live in such a large place. If he does not re-merge and design, it will cause a big and chaotic situation.

Xu Kai accidentally told Zhu Bing about his desire to repair No. 1 Furong Village.

Zhu Bing then enthusiastically introduced the famous Xiangshan Gang to Xu Kai.

The reason why the "Xiangshan Gang" is called Xiangshan Gang is located on the bank of Taihu Lake. It has been built by architectural craftsmen since ancient times, and is good at complex and exquisite traditional craftsmanship. It is called "Xiangshan Gang craftsman".

Historical books once recorded: "The skilled carpenters in Jiangnan all came from Xiangshan." Whether it is the Suzhou gardens that take one step at a time, or the magnificent royal imperial tombs, they are inseparable from the figure of the "Xiangshan Gang craftsman".

It can be said that as a Chinese architectural school that has been passed down for thousands of years, Xiangshan craftsmen have traveled thousands of years in the history of Chinese architecture, leaving behind many brilliant masterpieces, such as Chengtian Gate, the three halls of the Forbidden City, and the Lion Forest in Suzhou...

It is said that the most expensive mansion in China, "Suzhou Peach Blossom Land", was also written by the Xiangshan Gang.

Moreover, the ancient gardening techniques exclusively taught by the "Xiangshan Gang" have also been officially included in the "Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity".

So, after hearing from Zhu Bing that she could find someone from the "Xiangshan Gang" to help her build No. 1 Furong Village, Xu Kai felt a little flattered.

With Zhu Bing's introduction, Xu Kai met Yang Genxing, the provincial inheritor of construction skills, and his apprentice Gao Huoyuan.

Yang Genxing and Gao Huoyuan, who have established themselves with their skills, have participated in dozens of large and small ancient construction projects in 40 years. Suzhou Taohuayuan is one of the masterpieces of their team.

After seeing No. 1 Furong Village, Yang Genxing and Gao Huoyuan praised No. 1 Furong Village. They said: A big mansion, a courtyard, a rockery, an old tree, and a pool of lakes. Although it is made by people, it seems to be blooming from the sky.

Out of respect for history and practical considerations, Yang Genxing and Gao Huoyuan, master and apprentice, helped Xu develop a clever transformation plan, so that No. 1, Furong Village not only retains its antique flavor but also is close to modern life.

It can be seen from this that although the people of the "Xiangshan Gang" have ancient techniques, they are not ignorant of adaptability.

Xu Kai was extremely satisfied with the transformation plan proposed by Yang Genxing and Gao Huoyuan.

That is, Yang Genxing and Gao Huoyuan, master and apprentice, told Xu Kai that the total cost of renovating No. 1 Furong Village according to their ideas may not be less than 100 million, or even reach 200 million or 300 million, which made Xu Kai a little annoyed.

(The specific cost depends on what material Xu Kaidu wants. Yang Genxing and Gao Huoyuan's team are only responsible for manual labor. They recommend the materials but do not contract the materials.)

To be honest, Xu Kai was really hesitant about spending 100 million, or even 200 million to repair an old house.

But after Yang Genxing and Gao Huoyuan's team's designers gave Xu a rendering, Xu Kai no longer hesitated.

no way.

The people from the Xiangshan Gang are so good at marketing.

On the renderings they made, the placement of each tiles and the processing of each corner followed the ancient techniques and were placed and processed purely by hand.

The No. 1 Furong Village they designed has brought together five thousand years of beautiful buildings. What ultimately presents is that it combines lakes, gardens, houses, courtyards, and multiple functions such as residences and socialization. Each shape, building materials and craftsmanship in the garden all contain the unique aesthetic tastes, social ethics and family etiquettes of Chinese culture.

It can be said that the No. 1 Furong Village they wanted to present had long surpassed the scope of architecture, but was a world cultural heritage with magnificent weather and abundant accumulation.

It opens the memories buried deep in Xu Kai’s cultural psychology, and the humanistic complex hidden in Xu Kai’s heart.

It is difficult for Xu Kai to say the word "no".

Finally, Xu Kai signed the repair contract with Yang Genxing and Gao Huoyuan's team.

Xu Kai paid 10 million for the preliminary expenses alone - this was just an advance payment for the labor costs of the Xiangshan Helping Craftsmen.

After Xu Kai paid the money, Yang Genxing and Gao Huoyuan took their team to No. 1 Furong Village.

Looking at these nearly 100 craftsmen with an average age of over 60, Xu Kai was at ease with them to hand over No. 1 Furong Village to them, and was worried about whether their old bodies could hold on.

After taking the time to observe for two days, Xu Kai felt relieved when he saw that these old men were still energetic and were walking on the roof as if he was walking on the flat ground.

but--

Because it was necessary to repair No. 1 Furong Village, this involved Xu Kai's financial resources. Since the arrival of Yang Genxing and Gao Huoyuan's team, Xu Kai had spent money like water. Sometimes, one or two million yuan was spent in three or two days.

The key is that this involves Xu Kai's lot of energy.

Later, Dong also felt sorry for Xu Kai and took the initiative to help Xu Kai take on the task of supervising the repair of No. 1 Furong Village.

This allowed Xu Kai to be liberated from this matter...
