Chapter 229 3 Qing Palace
"How could it be!" Lan Xin looked at the design drawing Li Jia drew for her with surprise.
Oh my God! Lan Xin had long wanted to tear down this broken house and build a new one, but she never had the time.
Either I was too busy with farming, or I was busy with the hotel and group shopping for food, so I really had no time to build the house.
Even if she had the time to build a house, she wouldn't have the time to design one. She would probably just have the workers copy Su Runrun's building next door.
Thinking of this, Lan Xin couldn't help but think that Su Ruanruan's house seemed to be built quite well. With her heroine's aura, the construction workers she hired were probably good. At least they had good taste and followed the drawings without any trickery. She would definitely achieve great things in the future because of building her house.
Do you want to take advantage of this halo and ask these workers to build it for her?
Lan Xin clapped her hands, made up her mind, turned to look at Li Jia with a grateful look on her face.
"Jia Jia, thank you so much. I really like the design of this house. Don't worry, I won't let you draw it in vain."
Hearing Lan Xin's praise, Li Jia blushed and said stutteringly: "I'm glad you like it." Then he said anxiously: "I drew it for you for free, I didn't think about anything else."
"I know, but I can't just let you paint for nothing. This is the result of your work, and you should be rewarded." Lan Xin smiled.
The two packed up, and Lan Xin went to Lao Lan's house to pick up Yingying and Yueyue. They had been busy recently, and now that they finally had some time, it would be good to spend more time with the two children.
Yingying and Yueyue were very happy. They didn't know whether they were happy to be able to accompany Li Jia to play, or to be happy that Lanxin could accompany them. The four of them walked up the mountain happily.
To be honest, although Sanqing Mountain is just behind her home and very close to her, Lan Xin always wants to go to the mountain to play. But every time she goes up and down the mountain, she is in a hurry with various purposes. This is the first time she accompanies Li Jia and the others to climb the mountain as if for fun.
I used to drive a tractor in the provincial capital. I loved wearing flowery shirts and was always talking about the young man who came to play, but it seems that I never saw him once.
Lan Xin shook her head.
It was already afternoon when Li Jia went up the mountain yesterday. Most of the tourists had already gone down the mountain and went home, so she was unaware of how busy the mountain was during the day.
Nowadays, Li Jia is always surprised when she sees tourists climbing mountains and villagers selling fruits and vegetables from nearby villages.
Climbing up the mountain road, Lan Xin and her friends first arrived at Sanqing Palace.
The Sanqing Palace today has not been renovated. It was rebuilt during the Jiaqing period and has gone through the turmoil of those years, so it looks very dilapidated.
Lan Xin looked up at the stone archway full of traces of time, the endless stream of people coming to worship around it, the misty smoke in the air, it was like a scene in a dream, and her heart unconsciously calmed down.
As soon as Li Jia's eyes fell on the Sanqing Palace, they were glued to those ancient buildings.
From Lan Xin's point of view, the Sanqing Palace in front of her was not as beautiful as those palaces with carvings of dragons and phoenixes that she had seen on the Internet in later life, but Li Jia looked at it very seriously, and her clear eyes were full of joy.
She held a sketchbook in her hand and pointed a pencil at the archway. With just a few strokes, the archway appeared vividly on her sketchbook.
After finishing drawing the memorial archway, Li Jia's gaze fell on the Sanqing Palace not far in front of her. The sketchbook in her hand opened a page with a 'rustle' sound, and she continued to draw with a pencil.
Lan Xin did not disturb Li Jia and let her play freely. She took the two children for a walk around, then went into the Sanqing Palace, bowed to the Three Pure Ones, and burned a few incense sticks.
After looking around, I came out and met Lan Qing and Chen Baoni who were selling tea eggs.
Lan Qing and the others were quite surprised to see Lan Xin. He wiped his sweat with a thin old towel and asked, "Lan Xin, why are you here at Mount Sanqing?"
"It's a rare opportunity to have some free time, so Li Jia and I came up and spend some time with the children." Lan Xin looked at Yingying and Yueyue who were playing with the children not far away.
Children are good at making friends. Not long after arriving at Sanqing Mountain, they found playmates to play with, and Lan Xin didn't restrain them.
"How's business today?" Lan Xin looked at the small aluminum pot placed on an inverted basket in front of the two people, which was 70% full of tea eggs.
These tea eggs were freshly out of the pot, picked up by Lan Qing and the others. They left the house not much faster than Lan Xin and the others, but in order to make money, the couple walked very fast.
Lan Xin and her friends came out to hike, but they also had to take care of Li Jia and the two children, so it was almost noon before they reached this location.
Speaking of business, Chen Baoni said with a smile: "Business on Saturday and Sunday is much better than the previous days."
As they were talking, someone came to ask about the price. Chen Baoni smiled and told the price right away, then skillfully dealt with the tourist who wanted to bargain.
It is noon now and I am very hungry. Although the tourists who came to climb the mountain brought food with them, they can't resist the fragrant tea eggs just out of the pot.
Although I feel that the price is too high, but since I'm here and it's so tempting, I'll just bear the pain and give it a try!
Chen Baoni and her friends met countless tourists like this every day. They neither urged her to buy things in a disgusting way nor stood there and watched. She just smiled and greeted them a few times, and the tourists would convince themselves and then pay for the products.
One person helped another, and the number of people buying tea eggs and sodas increased suddenly. Lan Xin also went to help. After the three of them worked for a while, only one third of the tea eggs were left in the pot, and fewer people came to buy tea eggs.
Lan Qing took out the gourd filled with water, gulped down a few gulps to quench his thirst, and handed a bottle of soda to Lan Xin. Although they brought several boxes of soda to sell every day, he was reluctant to drink it himself.
Lan Xin waved her hand and said she had brought her own water and would not drink the soda brought from the mountain.
The three of them rested for a while. Lan Xin thought of something and pulled Lan Qing to ask, "Brother, do you know which team built the houses of Su Ruanruan and Gu Yankai next door?"
"I don't know whose house it is. I remember that Gu Yankai and his team found someone else to build it. It seemed to be a good friend of his, not a familiar cement worker nearby. I'll ask around later." Lan Qing thought for a while and shook his head.
Then he asked, "Why, are you planning to hire someone to build a hotel or a house?"
"I want to, let's take a look first." Lan Xin hesitated, wondering how the skills of this team of builders have improved after five years.
"You should rebuild your house. It's too inconvenient." Lan Qing couldn't help but complain, and Chen Baoni beside him nodded.
Every time they went to Lan Xin's house to get eggs, it was inconvenient. Although the yard was large and not crowded, it was still outside the house, with the scorching sun above their heads and no place to hide.
It was even worse when it rained last week. Everyone was soaked like a drowned rat, not to mention her crowded kitchen, where even one more person couldn't turn around.
Lan Qing had wanted to tell Lan Xin about this for a long time. He even talked to the cement worker near the village and planned to make an appointment for her, but Lan Xin asked other construction teams instead.
