After sending off the Qin Family, Zhang Wuliang was worried that Liu Qingxi might be in a bad mood, so he offered comforting words.
Fortunately, Liu Qingxi had experienced too much in life to let every little thing affect her mood or work efficiency.
In any case, it was essential to rent out the land today. The two families that Zhang Wuliang helped find were honest people with many children who needed more food than their few acres could provide, which is why they wanted to rent land for farming.
In the end, they agreed on the final division of profits: 30% would go to national taxes, Liu Qingxi would take 30%, and the renting families would keep the remaining 40%.
This was already a good deal; for tenant farmers, receiving 30% was considered favorable, so both families were extremely grateful to Liu Qingxi.
With the rental agreement settled and corn harvest nearly complete, people picked up their sickles and returned to the fields. One by one, they swung their arms to cut down the corn stalks, bundling them up to carry home.
The remaining corn stalks were not only good fodder for cattle but also essential materials for heating during winter.
Having lived in the countryside before, Liu Qingxi knew that people would chop corn stalks into large pieces. When it was difficult to gather firewood in winter, corn stalks were the best option for cooking.
After busying themselves for over half a month, they finally organized the fields—loosened the soil, fertilized, and sowed seeds. Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
At this time, the weather turned cooler; winter arrived earlier here than in other places. Although it was still autumn, winter was just around the corner. Liu Qingxi began preparing to build a house again.
After laying the foundation earlier and constructing about one floor high, it was time to speed up construction: "Village Chief, send two teams to town this time; the remaining eight teams can take on their own tasks."
Zhang Wuliang readily agreed; he never questioned Liu Qingxi's arrangements because this young woman possessed immense potential that he could not compare to.
Next came the house construction. Building the first floor seemed simple but was actually quite challenging due to its multi-layered foundation. To ensure quality, they chose only the best and sturdiest materials.
The structural columns at the corners and all beams had undergone multiple inspections to guarantee their safety and durability.
As construction progressed to the second and third floors, scaffolding for the construction team was raised repeatedly. The men climbed up as if walking on flat ground.
There were also those responsible for transporting Azure Bricks upward. The building rose at an astonishing pace. People went from initial skepticism to surprise and now faced it with calm acceptance; it seemed natural that this Six-Story Restaurant would be completed.
A month later, the building began to take shape, revealing a large oval space in the center, surrounded by restaurant rooms designed with curved lines and round pillars intricately carved with elaborate patterns.
Two large doors opened symmetrically, one at the front and one at the back, facilitating entry and exit. The beautifully carved doors and windows were being slowly installed by another group of workers, with the remaining work focused on the interior decoration.
In addition to the framework of the building, a semicircular stage was constructed in the main hall, with rows of tables and tea tables set up below, perfect for enjoying performances and readings.
The second floor featured private rooms for tea drinking, dining, and socializing. The third floor was designed as a VIP reception area. As for the fourth floor, each room was a game room, providing a place for leisure and entertainment. The fifth floor was equipped with guest rooms for accommodation.
The sixth floor also served as an accommodation area but featured luxurious presidential suites, with nightly rates that were beyond what ordinary people could afford.
From the initial design phase, Liu Qingxi had no intention of taking a common approach; this establishment was entirely tailored for officials and nobility.
"Everyone, take your time! Customizing these is not easy; be careful," Liu Qingxi personally oversaw the renovations on-site, worried that clumsy hands might damage the furniture and decorations.
Every item contained her hard work and sweat, representing several months of effort.
The remaining renovations were the final step; carelessness was not an option since the guests' experience depended on whether the final decoration style was appropriate.
Liu Qingxi's design did not follow traditional styles; the first floor was crafted to resemble modern stage design, with beige drapes cascading down from the second floor to create an enclosed space.
The tea room on the second floor was divided into three styles: one suitable for women with a soft pink theme, another cute style for children, and a stable style favored by men.
Different renovations were made for different demographics, ensuring that everyone who visited would find a style that suited them.
As one ascended through the floors, prices increased, symbolizing status and identity.
This was Liu Qingxi's original intention, and she was steadily working towards that goal.
Watching the building improve day by day gave Liu Qingxi a strong sense of accomplishment.
Yang Yichen also visited town from time to time to check on progress. He imagined the stunning atmosphere once the restaurant took shape and felt proud to be associated with such creativity.
Rather than a restaurant, it is more of a comprehensive entertainment venue. As soon as you arrive here, you will be treated to a full range of services, including watching performances, enjoying tea and conversation, playing chess for entertainment, and resting when tired.
Moreover, there are professional doctors available who can provide specialized acupressure massages to relax your body. In short, coming here will surely allow you to unwind completely and offer you a unique experience.
The exterior of the building appears extremely luxurious, yet it does not give off an ostentatious vibe; instead, it carries the weight of history and the passage of time.
At the same time, it evokes a sense of mystery, enticing one to explore further.
Thus, Liu Qingxi commutes daily between Shili Pu Bixi Town, and in just two months, the weight he had regained has dropped again, leaving him noticeably slimmer.
However, all these efforts are worthwhile, especially when witnessing this architectural marvel that has the potential to break current world records slowly taking shape. The pride and honor he feels from this small achievement, along with the satisfaction of utilizing his talents, fills Liu Qingxi with motivation.
After the house was completed, the decoration alone took a month.
Everyone involved would come each morning to see the progress of the building and couldn't help but marvel at its masterful craftsmanship. Looking up at the restaurant before them made them feel incredibly small.
At the same time, being part of this project brought an indescribable joy.
" Miss Liu, you are impressive! To build such a beautiful house is something I've never seen in my life; I never even dreamed of it."
