"Watching a movie? Is this our first activity? Hmm. Very good." After learning about the arrangements for tomorrow afternoon, Wen Yuan was a little happy, but not that happy, "But I can't ask for leave in the afternoon."
"I can give you a leave note."
"Ah???" Everyone was overjoyed now, "Really? What level of leave is it? Is it more effective than Jin Yiwei's leave?"
"Yeah." Shangluo nodded.
"Okay! You don't have to go to the metalworking class! I hate the metalworking class the most! Sharpening the hammer, sharpening the hammer all day long is boring to death. Isn't that right, Mr. Monitor?"
"." Lu Liang glanced at the sky and then at the ground, "Well, if you don't want to go, just don't go."
"Really? I think sharpening a hammer is quite fun. I grind it in a daze and it's ready. By the way, does our school have a hammer sharpening class? I want to show off my skills."
"Yes, yes." Han Xingzhi replied, "But that is a primary school course. Grinding a small hammer with sandpaper is said to be able to cultivate the mind. When we were children, we used to make porcelain for fun. After we knead it, we sent it to the imperial kiln factory to burn it. It was like a crazy dance when we came out. But the most exciting thing is the car race. The car race is about to start, and I also want to relax tomorrow afternoon. To recharge my energy for the weekend race."
"Should I go back and practice again? And Wen Yuan."
"No, no, no, with your driving skills, you can still get first place even if you drive backwards. This is called strength suppression - how do you say that, although success requires ninety-nine percent of the effort, but one hundred percent One percent of the genius is indispensable. The two of you have already put in 99% of your efforts before participating in the competition, and you are only contributing the one percent of your genius."
"." Wen Yuan looked at him, "Why do I feel like this kid is trying to put money on his own head? You are obviously the 99%, and we are the 1% geniuses."
"Okay, okay, we are all 1%, right? The other participating teams are 99%, right, brother! What surprise are you talking about? Did you prepare a great name for us?"
"Well, let's wait until we get there. Oh, it's already here."
Several people stood at the door and found that the building in front of them looked very familiar.
"What are we doing in the imperial dining room?"
The huge concrete fortress-shaped building pokes like a rough block into the Purple Mountain shaded by green trees. Food is the most important thing for the people. Even the elders have to eat. They cannot do without it. Therefore, it is quite reasonable for the imperial dining room to be placed inside the fortress.
"Our office is in the basement of the Imperial Kitchen Room."
"." To be on the safe side, Wen Yuan asked first, "Can I ask why?"
"Because there's air conditioning here."
Several people were silent.
Indeed, this is a very good reason. Because power grid equipment is under experimentation "nationwide", most of the equipment that needs electricity generates its own electricity, rather than pulling wires from outside. Yujing’s power grid is relatively mature, and many places have begun to promote electricity consumption. But now that the power grid is not very stable, the facilities in the Grand Palace are still relatively conservative and are not connected to the power grid.
This means that lights and other things are easy to talk about. But high-power appliances like air conditioners are only available in a few places. Considering the option of "must install air conditioning", there is no choice. Even the Jinyiwei Yamen actually does not have air conditioning, but uses ice buckets.
With so many people there was no way to share the task of carrying the ice bucket, so they had to use air conditioners. That would be either in the Three Great Halls or in a place like Changchun Palace. Apart from that, there is only the imperial dining room. There is central air conditioning for preparing ingredients, which is turned on all year round. Although there will be no warm air in winter, heating is easier than cooling. When you need to warm up, just light an oil tin or find a foot stove.
"As expected of my eldest brother, he is really far-sighted. Look, classmate Wenyuan, why didn't you think of this?"
"Because I have an air conditioner at home. I'm used to it, so I don't have to blow it outside."
"His house has everything." Lu Liang shook his head, "His house is 12 square meters, and there are three entrances in the house. It is almost as big as the Jinyiwei Yamen. There is also a fish pond in his house, and there are dozens of carps in the pond. That's Wuyi Lane, and right at the door is the Confucius Temple."
"Wait a minute." Han Xingzhi suddenly thought, "When I went to the Confucius Temple, I saw a house of about the same size next to Wang Xie's former residence. There was a high wall facing the street. That was..."
"Yes, that's his home. That's the courtyard wall of his home, and the fish pond is inside. All the carps in it have round bellies."
"Valve! Oh no. Valve! Your home is the valve!"
"Valve, damn Valve, it's just my ancestral home. Real Valve doesn't have many sets of clothes like me. I wear school uniforms all day long? I went to the Imperial College to go to school. It's all empty. I live with my grandparents, and other places are just like that." It is used as a warehouse. Because it is the land of a health center and cannot be rented out as a store, it can only be placed there."
"Eh?" Shangluo thought for a moment, "Then let's move the office to your house. It's a bit far here, so we can just come here once a week."
"No, no, I haven't asked my grandfather yet. My grandfather likes peace and quiet, and he won't agree."
"Branch, how about the branch?"
"Forehead"
"Operations center! Secret base! We dispatch from there!"
"Okay!" Wen Yuan suddenly became interested, "I feel it! This is how it feels! No problem, as long as you don't stay at my house all day long."
"Hey." Lu Liang asked, "Do we have to go to his house? It's very troublesome."
"We can't go out from the imperial dining room, not to mention it's inconvenient to arrange the equipment. This guy sounds like he's going to serve dinner. And Wenyuan's house is very close to your house, right?"
"Yeah, next street."
"In fact, I occasionally hope that Lu Qianhu will come to help. It's much more convenient to be close."
"Okay, I have no objection. Although I find it annoying to go to his house all the time, but I can't help it when I'm on business."
"Don't you like going to his house?"
"He has a share in his family."
"There is a yin energy." Wen Yuan answered himself, "It is just chilly. Because there are few people and there are no people in many places, it is easy to be like this. The aunts who come to my house to help often have backaches and leg pains, and I don't know why. Yes. Maybe it’s just the humidity? After all, it’s relatively close to the Qinhuai River.”
"Is your family's feng shui not very good?"
"Who knows. Oh," Wen Yuan suddenly remembered, "If you come to my house, maybe the feng shui can be improved. After all, you are Xiangrui. Brother Xiangrui, when will our department go to my expense department? I have already I can’t wait for Xiangrui to come and consecrate my home.”
