Chapter 213 Craftsmen
On the second day, Nian Ruyi did not go to watch the other talent competitions in Taixue calligraphy and piano. She and Ye Yu rented a carriage and went to Nian Mansion.
I bought the new house for more than half a month. This is Nian Ruyi's third time, and I also brought some decoration drawings she had drawn.
"Miss, when the carpenter work is halfway through, he was requisitioned by the prince. The prince said that there is an urgent need, so he should focus on his work first, and the carpenter work here will be stopped. The prince said, you know."
When he saw Nian Ruyi, Zhu Jin first reported on what happened in the house.
Nian Ruyi knew that Yuan Jinhong was in a hurry, so she said, "I don't have to hurry to carpentry work here, let other craftsmen do it first. I'll go find a plasterer and a stonemason. There are a few places I want to renovate and talk to them."
"I'll go with the girl."
The phoenix was able to go to the ground and there was no need for Zhu Jin to take care of him. Zhu Jin led Nian Ruyi and Ye Yu to a side courtyard that the bricklayer was repairing.
Bai Yan bought this house at the beginning, and Bai Yan was from the Yuan Palace. The carpenters, bricklayers, stonemasons, plasterers, and plasterers introduced to him by Wang Fangyi were also famous local craftsmen.
The stonemason's surname is Shi, and the plastering craftsman's surname is Song. On weekdays, everyone calls them stonemason heads, Song Jiangtou. When Nian Ruyi met them, he called them Master Shi and Master Song in affectionately, and then he said his meaning, "I come today and want to discuss with you, open up the Dongyuan ear room and the inner room where I live, and modify it into a bathroom and a toilet."
The plasterer was stunned. This was the first time he met an owner who made such a request. He said, "Miss, this ear room is okay to be modified into a bathroom, but it can be modified into a toilet. I am afraid that the smell will be too great at that time? This inner room will not be able to live in."
In ancient times, there was no flush toilet, and it was all public toilets. Even if someone cleaned it up every day, over time, the smell would be so smelling.
If you build a toilet and connect it to the inner room, after a long time, the inner room will be stained with a odor? Wouldn’t you be unable to live in it?
Nian Ruyi smiled? He took out several artworks she had painted at night and handed them to the two masters to see. "This is the artwork I drew, the construction drawings of the toilet? Do you have a closer look? Can you make it for me?"
Shimao Tou and Song Jiangtou are both old craftsmen who have been working with stone blue bricks and tiles for twenty or thirty years. They have repaired houses by the two of them. There are also hundreds of houses. It can be said that they have seen and repaired them.
However, when they saw the unfamiliar items on the artwork, they were both shocked.
Nian Ruyi accused the flush toilets of making drawings? He said, "This is called a flush toilet, it is porcelain. We need to find a porcelain worker to come over to see if it can be fired. If the porcelain worker cannot burn it, then chisel out one with a stone."
If the stone cannot be chiseled out, let the carpenter make one.
In short, after a few months of ancient times, she was tired of squatting in the pit every day, smelling the odor in her nose, and her eyes were forced to be contaminated. She decided that no matter how much money she spent, she would build a modern bathroom next to her room for her personal use.
The two old craftsmen stared at the artwork, repeated over and over again, carefully, and looked at it several times. The artwork was clearly drawn, clearly, with small notes under the picture, and also noted on the picture. Basically, there were no need to ask more questions, and the two old craftsmen understood the artwork.
