I thought that twice the price would be sufficient compensation, and we could move out once the deal was agreed upon, and we could start construction according to the original plan.
But what Meihua reported the next day was that Director Xianglan changed his mind and said he didn't want to sign. She said that the season was about to enter winter, and after moving out, she would have to find a place in advance, decorate it, create a smell, and maintain a healthy environment. If no one came, she would have to pay generously. So, I don’t want to fulfill the contract.
"How could you go back on your word?
So I discussed with Master Yang Yong that if it didn't work, we would cut off her water supply at the back and use tough measures.
Build a wooden wall for her in the backyard so that no one behind can get through.
At the same time, he posted flyers in front of her door and hired some people to say that the Naixiang restaurant had been closed and would be moved, creating an impact.
As a result, Xianglan and the others have been doing business as usual these two days, and they even greeted me when they met.
It's like nothing happened.
Sure enough, the prime minister returned early the next day. He said that the cleaning time of Naxiang Hall will be postponed for now and he will do other tasks first.
From then on, this woman who liked to wiggle her buttocks when walking passed by the gate of the Xiangshan Hall, raising her head happily and feeling very happy.
Since the Prime Minister has ordered to postpone it first, then do other work.
Let Meihua ask the construction department to measure whether the foundation of the additional floors of the original house and the connecting building is safe?
Then use part of the enclosed backyard and the small street of Xiangshan Hall as the back kitchen, and move the entire kitchen back.
Converting other parts of the small street into staff quarters expands the space.
Meihua also arranged for Meihua to invite the construction department, transportation department, and greening department to jointly discuss the construction sequence. It cannot be done all over again, and there is no order. Carpenters, bricklayers, blacksmiths, and those who install kitchen equipment all need to be coordinated. Including the kitchen water inlet and drainage, the construction sequence has been arranged and related to each other. This way everyone prepares for construction according to the drawings.
In order to ensure the normal progress of the construction, the kitchen equipment that originally needed to be relocated must be moved out first, and it cannot be moved to the construction site to hinder the construction.
We built a temporary kitchen on the first floor of the original front building, which will not affect the construction, but also ensure that the diners can have their meals normally.
In this way, the task of ensuring meals for diners has been significantly increased with the addition of the construction work for thousands of people.
After thinking about it, we had to change the twelve private rooms on the right side of the entrance on the first floor into temporary cooking rooms. In this way, the distance between the first and second floors behind the temporary building was longer, and the distance for transporting dishes was longer. It also increased the number of people to be insured, and the work The amount increased significantly.
But after all, this task must be pushed forward and there is no other way. It is impossible to eat in the open air at Xiangshan Hall.
So all the private rooms on the right side of the entrance on the first floor were renovated, and one gorgeously decorated restaurant after another was transformed into a steaming kitchen.
What a waste, so wasteful that it makes people feel distressed.
In this way, these private rooms are re-planned according to their sizes into cutting areas, processing areas, cold dish areas, pastry areas, and large and small stove cooking areas.
At the same time, in order to deliver food directly to the first and second floors and reduce the delivery distance, a manual food delivery elevator was also designed, and two chefs were specially arranged to transport finished dishes from the first floor to the second floor.
Buckets after buckets of fragrant dishes are loaded into the big wooden ladder. Two chefs gently shake the handles with their hands, and the buckets of dishes are shaken to the second floor, and some are even moved to the third floor for serving.
These ideas mainly come from the fact that I lived in an era when I saw a lot of elevators, which are equivalent to semi-automatic elevators. This saves manpower and improves efficiency. The chefs and doctors all praised this elevator when they saw it.
But there is a link here, that is, before the original stove is moved down, the drainage must be repaired in each functional area, and the smoke exhaust pipe must be installed.
To launch the water in this way, the floor of the original private room must be pried open, and then a trench must be dug to break the wall and extend outside.
Because of the need for ventilation, many holes were opened in the facade wall, smoke exhaust pipes were built outwards, and the floor tiles and wall tiles were destroyed. In less than two days, more than ten luxurious restaurants were turned into a place filled with smoke and smoke. In the kitchen where the fire was blazing and people were noisy, I felt heartbroken after reading these two words.
Fortunately, the masters and servants at Xiangshantang, as well as the waiters, didn't complain. They all worked hard.
They all come from poor families. In order to beg for food, they come to work every day before dawn and return late at night. Because they have no way to change their destiny, they can only do some low-level service work.
During the renovation of the temporary kitchen house, because the conditions for temporary building were not met, the number of service recipients increased, the manpower was not enough, and the standards required by the superiors were high, so all employees were in a hurry, and various teams were prone to accidents in the rush. Quarrel, due to competition for steaming stoves or steamers and other equipment, man-made fights became more frequent, so panic, noise, quarrels, etc. occurred frequently.
In addition, the current workload has doubled compared to usual, so everyone is overwhelmed. Some staple food cannot occupy the equipment during the day, so they come here to work overtime at night and simply don't go home. Some teams worked until late at night. Regardless of gender, they put on random clothes and stayed in the corner all night. The employees spent day after day in extreme fatigue.
Every time I pass by these sleeping workers, I sigh in my heart for these chefs. It’s really hard for them. You must be kind to them. They are just like me and have experienced the same hard times as me.
After seven days of preparation, everything was ready, just waiting for the Prime Minister to order everyone to start entering the venue.
Although it has been very hard these days, looking at the construction drawings, I can imagine how gratifying it will be to see the renovated Xiangshan Hall. The front building is four stories high, with more than 50 more rooms horizontally, and three more rooms extending back. Entering the courtyard, the kitchen area increases, with all open stalls.
In the halls on the first to third floors in the middle, dining diners can choose their own dishes according to their needs, which solves the problem of difficult to choose. This is simply no different from the big dining halls and dining rooms of the era I lived in.
Could it be that the Prime Minister's Mansion entered a modern society 2000 years ahead of schedule? When I think of this, I feel that my contribution is too great, because the overall design drawings, including the kitchen and warehouse below, are all designed by myself. I feel that a modern mason, After these 2000 years, it may still be written into history and leave a strong mark on social progress.
Thinking of these, I feel happy in my heart.
At this time, Mei Hua came in from the outside and said, "Halfway through, you now tell everyone to stop their work."
The kitchen equipment that had been removed was transported back to its original position, and the repair and renovation project of Xiangshan Hall was stopped.
Why, no why, the king has an order prohibiting us from carrying out renovation projects. The prime minister is being interrogated in the palace.
