"Uh," Boss Qian was left speechless.
Indeed, at that time, no one believed that Liu Qingxi's Six-Story Restaurant could be built successfully. However, the facts proved that she not only completed this incredible project but also allowed the restaurant to thrive rapidly.
Thinking about it this way, it seemed that his worries were unnecessary: "I trust you, I trust you. Just take care of it."
Soon, the people from Ten Li Pu began to clear the land under Liu Qingxi's direction, spreading ash and marking lines, using simple pipe devices to measure the level height, and starting to excavate the foundation.
Liu Qingxi took a few capable workers to measure the water level and was responsible for constructing the pillars. After all, relying on ancient construction techniques and limited conditions made it very difficult to create cantilever structures.
The best approach was to build several sturdy pillars underwater to support the upper structure.
Liu Qingxi's large-scale operation caused quite a stir in Biqi Town.
With Liu Qingxi's current fame, she was like a moving halo wherever she went, attracting attention.
Boss Qian couldn't contain his excitement and began to promote his plan for the Flowing Villa. Within just a few days, news spread throughout Biqi Town.
People love gossip; less than half a day into the construction, a large crowd gathered around, leaving Liu Qingxi feeling quite helpless.
"Everyone doesn't need to rush to see; there's nothing to see right now. Wait until it's finished, and you can ask Boss Qian if you can come for a visit. Standing here is tiring; you can come back in a few days."
Indeed, it was just a flat piece of land with nothing in sight. Moreover, those who didn't understand construction couldn't make sense of the lines and markings.
"Alright, let's go. Let's listen to Miss Liu and come back in a few days."
"You go ahead; I'll stay a bit longer. I was just thinking about whether I should rebuild my house; I also want to consult Miss Liu." A young man in his twenties was full of interest and reluctant to leave.
Gradually, people began to leave, with only a few remaining who were very interested.
Of course, while they admired Boss Qian for entrusting such a large project to Liu Qingxi, they were also eager inside; the allure of the Flowing Villa nestled by the mountains and water was simply too great!
Finally, the young man in his twenties couldn't hold back any longer. He carefully stepped over the tools scattered on the ground and approached Liu Qingxi. " Miss Liu, can I also ask you to build a house for me? I want one just like this."
"This young master, I have quite a few connections here. If you are really determined to build a new house, you can first go to Chenxi Tavern and register with Li, the Innkeeper. You will need to wait in line."
"Oh, by the way, he also has the blueprints I drew. You can ask him to introduce you to different styles and types that you like, and then I will make the corresponding adjustments. You can consult with Li, the Innkeeper on the specifics. How does that sound?"
"Great, I'll go right now." The young man left with a light step.
For the first time in over twenty years, he was taking charge of such a significant matter. Thinking about his aging parents, he realized that he would eventually take over the family business. Building a comfortable house now would allow his parents to enjoy their later years.
Why not?
Then, Liu Qingxi used the same method to send off several more people before fully immersing herself in the design of the pillars. Fortunately, the location near the river's edge had shallow water, about one meter deep, and the underlying soil was decent.
It wasn't mud; if they were to create pillars, it was estimated they would need to dig at least three meters underground.
In modern times, three meters would be nothing more than a machine working for a while.
However, at present, three meters was indeed a grand and challenging project—not only a challenge for Liu Qingxi but also a significant challenge for the people of Ten Li Pu.
Therefore, the measuring process needed to be as precise as possible. Fortunately, Liu Qingxi had worked in this industry for nearly ten years in her previous life and had accumulated substantial experience, giving her some confidence in handling this task.
At the same time, visitors from Ten Li Pu continued to come to see Liu Qingxi. Her name was known throughout the town and beyond; at this moment, people took pride in owning a house built by Liu Qingxi.
Not long ago, Liu Qingxi personally directed construction. Later on, due to her experience in building restaurants, she entrusted Boss with constructing houses while Construction personnel managed everything under the supervision of several Elders like Zhang Sanyou.
To facilitate work, Liu Qingxi no longer traveled daily between Biqi Town and Ten Li Pu. Coincidentally, she had bought a shop in town before the New Year that she hadn’t rented out—just for her own use.
It came in handy; not only could she live there, but it could also serve as a place to receive guests.
Now the question arose: who would be responsible for receiving guests? Naturally, she chose clever and articulate Young Men and girls from the village.
The guests arrived, and a cup of fine hot tea was served first. Then, various types of houses were explained to them. Of course, there were traditional Courtyard-style buildings, more modern apartments, and even more comfortable pavilions that evoked a sense of flowing water and serene living.
"Sir, we have different types of houses here. You can let me know what type you prefer, and I will introduce them based on your needs. Alternatively, you can take some time to understand them before making a decision."
The Fellow spoke eloquently, with reason and a smile. His respectful demeanor made it difficult for the other party to find any fault, naturally encouraging them to sit down and learn more slowly.
The Young Man was none other than Zhang Quanyong, the nephew of Zhang Wuliang. Recently, he had been working with the Construction Team, but due to his clever performance, he caught Liu Qingxi's attention and was chosen to work in the shop.
Interestingly, since this Kid arrived at the store, he had become the leader among the Fellows.
At this point, it's worth mentioning that at nineteen years old, he was already at the age when one typically becomes a father. However, ever since Liu Qingxi appeared, life in Ten Li Pu improved day by day, and suddenly he no longer felt the urgency to marry.
Having broadened his horizons, he no longer confined himself to the small area of Ten Li Pu. Like an eagle spreading its wings, many young people in Ten Li Pu began to realize the vastness of the outside world and regained their ambitions.
Liu Qingxi sat in the back office during this time, quickly continuing with her sudden inspirations. Different blueprints emerged one after another, each uniquely creative and presented before people.
In just a month’s time, Ten Li Pu initiated a new architectural revolution in town. Many older houses stirred with excitement at the thought of seizing this rare opportunity for renovation.
With so many people to attend to, Liu Qingxi was so busy that she couldn't even catch her breath. During rare moments offline, she missed the days when Yang Yichen was around.
The young man always silently arranged her upcoming schedule as if everything would be fine with him around.
