Xiao Niangpi finally discovered that this house was not as good as her own mansion.
There is no electricity here.
My luxury home has photovoltaic power generation panels, and I have been using them for a year last year. When Yang Fan got married, he installed electrical equipment in the mansion. Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru are already used to electric lights.
There is no electrical equipment here. It all depends on candles or carbide lamps or the like. You can bring your own candles, but I'm afraid you have to buy carbide lamps at Xinghe Supermarket. Although they are bright, they have a smell.
Yang Fan's electrical equipment cost a lot of gold to transport, and it was barely enough for his own use. How could it be placed here?
Once the carbide lamp is turned on, the bathroom is as bright as daylight.
Fenglan put away the carbide lamp. Turn around and continue introducing everyone.
Under the bright light, the princess discovered that the walls of the bathroom were not painted, but were all covered with porcelain boards. I was suddenly surprised.
These porcelain plates look very beautiful, with embossed patterns, and the walls and floors are paved. They look very luxurious.
In Princess Le'an's impression, porcelain is used to make tableware and tea sets. I never thought it could be used to decorate a house.
"Everyone, this is the faucet. Just twist it and water will come out." Fenglan introduced.
The water pipes and faucets are made of copper and look shiny. Fenglan twisted it gently, and water flowed into the wash basin. Is it a model room? Everything has been improved to stimulate customers' desire to buy.
Water pipes and faucets can also be made of cast iron, which is much cheaper. Of course, it is not as beautiful as copper. Not rustproof either.
"There is also this one, called a showerhead. This thing is used to adjust hot and cold water. You can take a hot and cold bath. It is used for showering. This is a bathtub. It is made of enamel, that is, the steel plate is glazed and fired. It can accommodate a People take a bath." Feng Lan thought for a while, then blushed and said, "This bathtub also has a larger size."
The princess and the consort immediately blushed.
When I think about this house, I can take a hot bath at any time, which is such a surprise.
"Everyone, this is the flush toilet." Fenglan introduced.
"This, how do you use this?" The princess blushed and asked the little girl in a low voice.
The little girl laughed, drove the men out, and closed the door.
After a while, I heard the toilet draining inside several times. The princess came out with a red face and a little girl.
Although the princess was very shy, her expression was very satisfying.
"Now let me show you the kitchen. The kitchen is pre-installed with a double-burner cast iron stove that burns honeycomb briquettes. This comes with the rough house. You don't need to spend money to buy it. This stove can be used to seal the fire, cook or cook. When there is water, open the air inlet. There is also a hand-cranked windmill to blow the air."
There's nothing we can do about it. There was no piped gas or gas canisters in this era.
Only use the stove for cooking. Burning firewood is prohibited in the community. If it is wet, thick smoke will emit and pollute the environment. Briquettes are relatively clean, and waste gas is discharged from the flue.
Of course, the briquettes have to be carried upstairs. But who can afford Yang Fan's house without a servant? There are many people cooking and doing chores. Besides, the coal station also provides door-to-door delivery service.
This house has two floors above ground. The first floor is the living room, guest bathroom, dining room and kitchen. There are five bedrooms on the second floor, two of which are five meters wide facing south. The master bedroom has its own dressing room and bathroom.
The other bedrooms share a guest bathroom. On the back are three small bedrooms with a width of just over three meters. There are also two windowless huts that are workers' rooms.
The ground floor is a semi-basement with windows exposed to the ground. This is where the servants live. There is a second kitchen and warehouse etc.
The entire house is finely decorated and the furniture is all made of mahogany. There are modern style wardrobes, Ming Dynasty style canopy beds and step beds.
There is a lift-type chandelier for candles on the ceiling.
The living room has modern sofa-style solid wood furniture with a carpet in the middle.
After several people read it, they all liked it very much.
Then Xiao Niangpi and others looked at the single-story building with great interest, and finally climbed the stairs to the sixth floor. Looked at the top floor duplex.
"Wow, it's so comfortable to look out from here." Standing on the seventh-floor terrace, Xiao Niangpi and others exclaimed.
In this era, there are not many high-rise buildings, and a pavilion that can go up to three or four floors is considered high.
Of course, it is not as high as the Drum Tower or the Bell Tower.
However, it was also very refreshing to watch.
Looking at the capital from here, you can see far away. After all, there are many bungalows on all sides.
Although this place is not too far from the back wall of the imperial city. However, to the south is the low-rise villa area, which is only seven stories high. The inside of the imperial city walls cannot be seen.
Moreover, most of this area inside the imperial city is empty space. One mile to the south is Jingshan Mountain, which basically completely blocks the Forbidden City. Otherwise, the emperor would not agree to the building of this community being so high.
The princess finished looking at the unit building and then continued to look at the rough house.
Suddenly there was a feeling of falling from the sky to the ground. The contrast is too great.
It turns out that the model room is so beautiful, but the decoration inside and even every small item cost money. Moreover, furniture and various materials are available in different grades from low to high.
The princess couple discovered that as long as you want to make things better and decorate, you can spend any amount of money you have.
Later, I went to the south bank of the river to see the villa. There are two gates here, one opens to the south, and the exit leads to Huangcheng North Street. One drives west, and you will get to Di'anmen Street.
There are two types of villas: independent villas and townhouses. They all have a layout of three floors above ground and one underground floor. The detached villa also has a yard. Privacy is great.
The princess is very conflicted. She likes the feeling of a high-rise duplex. However, she and her consort had privacy concerns. Intellectually, you should choose an independent single-family villa.
In the end, she chose a large villa next to the king's single-family villa in the villa area on the south bank.
The villa was priced at 12,000 taels, but Yang Fan only charged half the price.
After meeting the princess today, Yang Fan suddenly realized that this villa should not be sold, but should be presented as tribute to His Majesty.
After all, His Majesty did not enjoy modern material life in the palace. Now the princess has bought a villa here. It is very likely that he will pay a private visit incognito to see the princess. If I don't leave a set for His Majesty, I'm afraid it will arouse his dissatisfaction. That's just not worth it.
Yang Fan can still figure out who is more important, His Majesty or making money.
Yang Fan said that this villa, which is located in the center and has the largest area, will be presented to His Majesty. The princess made up her mind and bought the second largest villa next to here.
After all, His Majesty has no brothers now, leaving only two sisters and one younger sister.
The two sisters are Princess Zhu Huiyan of Ningde and her mother Fu Yifei. In the sixth year of the Apocalypse, Liu Youfu, the son of Liu Zongzheng, the deputy commander of the Shangnancheng Military and Horse Command Department. Princess Zhu Huijing of Suiping and her mother Fu Yifei. In the seventh year of Tianqi, she married Qi Zenyuan. Chongzhen died in the sixth year of his life at the age of 22.
The only sister is Princess Le'an.
Princess Le'an still had a lot of money. When she got married, her mother and her brother gave her a lot of property as a dowry.
Li Kangfei made a lot of money back then. How else could he be accused of stealing the property of Qianqing Palace during the move? As a result, Wei Zhongxian was imprisoned and almost died.
The consort saw that the princess liked the duplex room on the top floor, so he paid for a duplex room on the top floor and gave it to the princess. If the princess likes it, she can stay there for a while.
Yang Fan secretly extended his thumbs up, what a good man. Must give it a thumbs up. This apartment is worth one thousand five hundred taels. It seems that the consort's family is still very rich.
There is none today, but I will make up for what I owe tomorrow.
