In the carriage.
Eve supported her snow-white chin with her jade hand, and asked softly, "What should we do this afternoon?"
"Big..." Xi Lixiang just opened her mouth to persuade the eldest lady to go back, after all, they have been playing for a long time.
But just being glanced at by the eldest lady, Xiaoxiang immediately shut up and dared not speak again.
"I want to see the construction progress of the restaurant. We didn't go to the front when we went shopping in the morning."
Qiao Ji had planned to see it today.
They have been walking in the middle of No. 1 Avenue of the Imperial City at noon, and the restaurant is at the front of the largest street.
"Okay, I also want to see how the restaurant is being built."
Eve had seen the drawings of the Yellow Crane Tower, so she was naturally curious about how such a beautiful restaurant was built.
"Okay, Lei Nai." Qiao Ji called out gently in the carriage.
"Received, my lord." Lei Nai responded, and drove the carriage towards the location where the restaurant was built.
"Tap Tat Tat..."
Ten minutes later, the carriage quickly arrived at the first half of No. 1 Avenue in the Imperial City, which is not far from Artet Square.
Qiao Ji and Eve didn't get out of the carriage, but squeezed together by a window and looked outside.
Eve's heartbeat quickened unconsciously.
Since the two of them were squeezed together by the same window, her side face was right next to the boy's side face, and Miss Yin could clearly feel the body temperature emanating from the boy.
It's warm and comfortable. Eve got up distracted.
At this time, the foundation of the Yellow Crane Tower Restaurant has been built. The foundation of 223 is all made of high-grade cement and stones, and the three shops in the past have been integrated into a large block at this moment.
Eve quickly shifted her attention and looked at the foundation of the big restaurant in front, huh? When did the construction of the big restaurant go so fast?"
The eldest lady also knew the basics of construction, so she asked in confusion, "Doesn't it take a long time to lay the foundation?"
"The old method of laying the foundation is no longer used. I asked people to use new alchemy products."
Qiao Ji could also feel the warmth from the eldest lady's side face, like a soft little rabbit.
Eve sat back in her seat shyly, only feeling that her face was blushing so much.
She couldn't help but blame the boy in her heart, it must be because his body temperature is too high, otherwise how could I feel so hot.
Eve adjusted her thoughts and asked, "What kind of alchemy product? It can actually shorten the construction progress."
"It's cement, as long as you add a certain proportion of sand and water and mix well, it will become as hard as a stone after a long time.
Qiao Ji involuntarily pulled the girl's loose golden hair back behind her ears, and continued to explain, "And the cement with water and sand is very malleable at the beginning."
"This... With cement, it can save a lot of time if it is used to build a castle."
Eve let the boy tidy up his hair, and his curled eyelashes trembled slightly.
As if she remembered something, her pretty face suddenly became serious, and she said seriously, "Don't let those nobles know about the cement, they will definitely want to get the formula."
It is certain that the nobles want the cement formula, but they don't know how to use it. Some nobles do things in a very white way.
"I know that the cement is produced in secret." Qiao Ji blinked his deep heterochromatic pupils.
Eve's golden eyes were full of worry, and she warned, "You have to hide your identity behind the scenes. Now you have too many good things in your hands, and you may attract the prying eyes of many nobles."
It is true that Qiao Ji has too many good things, such as perfume, pens and cement, which are the things that many nobles flock to.
No matter how powerful the young man is, he can't resist the joint division of many nobles. This is the reason why the eldest lady is really worried.
After all, the Yuwu family can only deter some small nobles, and the big nobles will not give up their own interests.
"Don't worry, Eve, I will only use cement for my own property, unless I become a great nobleman and have a certain strength, it is possible to release these things.
If Qiao Ji becomes a great nobleman, if the power value on the surface is 1, then the hidden value is 99.
He naturally understands the principle of keeping a low profile and biding his time, so he wouldn't foolishly go around and swagger around when he doesn't have the strength.
"That's good." Eve's hanging heart calmed down a little.
She looked out of the window again, and asked softly, "The big restaurant will take half a year to build, right?"
The eldest lady has seen the blueprints, and also knows the number of floors and height of the restaurant, so the difficulty can be imagined.
"That's not necessary, it can be finished in less than a month." Qiao Ji smiled faintly.
..." Eve was stunned for a moment, then reacted and asked, "Could it be that you changed the number of layers and the size?" (babd) She felt a little pity, the restaurant on the drawing is the original size, it seems It will be more majestic.
"Of course not. Most of the main body to be built has been completed. The construction method of a wooden building is different from that of a stone building. As long as the size of the wooden building is determined in advance, the wooden mortise and tenon components can be made according to the diagram."
Qiao Ji shook his head lightly, and said gently, "After the foundation is finished, you can build it up like building blocks. At that time, the walls on the first floor will be finished with stone bricks, and all the walls will be made of wood and bricklayers." .”
"It's actually possible to build them separately like this." Eve raised her beautiful thin eyebrows, this is the first time she's heard of such a construction method.
Bravo. Xi Lixiang also saw the foundation of the big restaurant, and admired this young man from the bottom of her heart.
How long has passed, and it has grown so rapidly.
The two stayed in the carriage and watched for ten minutes, then lost interest in the restaurant and got out of the carriage one after another.
"Tat Tat Tat..."
After Qiao Ji and Eve got off the carriage, they continued to stroll on the street.
"By the way, Qiao Ji, don't you have a fief? When will you go?" Eve stretched her hands while holding her hands.
"Wait until two or three months later." Qiao Ji pursed his lips and said.
His recent focus is on the imperial capital, and he hasn't paid attention to the territory, but Lian Xin has sent information about his territory.
"By the way, where is your territory?" Eve wanted to know everything about the boy.
"Beigang." Qiao Ji replied.
"Beigang? Is it Beigang by the sea?" Eve frowned slightly.
There are too many places named after Beigang, but few of them are really famous. The eldest lady has also heard of Beigang by the sea occasionally.
"Yes, it's the Beigang by the sea." Qiao Ji nodded lightly.
Eve curled her lips in displeasure, rolled her eyes and said, "The empire is so slamming, it actually put your fief in that remote place."
Beigang is located in the north and south of the empire, close to the sea, and there are some small fishing villages, all relying on fishing for their livelihood.
Most of those places are very poor, and they can't collect a few taxes all year round. It's really not right.
It is because of poverty that the eldest lady only knew about Beigang when she was reading.
However, the corners of Qiao Ji's mouth turned up, and he said in a happy mood, "I think it's good to be close to the sea."
He hoped that the location of Beigang would be better, so that a harbor could be built by then.
You know, seaside trade is very profitable.
Qiao Ji now wants to make more money so that she can build her own territory.
"Qiao Ji, there are pirates attacking the seaside."
Eve reminded, "If you want to rely on the sea, it may be a little difficult, because the trade routes there are not easy.
"Indeed." Qiao Ji also knew this, turned his face and asked, "Can the port of our imperial capital directly reach the sea?"
"It's possible, but it takes about ten days to go around a river to reach the sea." Eve looked up at the boy curiously.
"To reach the sea...the boat must be prepared."
Qiao Ji smiled lightly.
