The county magistrate's daughter only wants to farm

"Do you see the big pool outside the inn?" Gu Yin pointed to a tall round object on the blueprint. "The water comes from here."

"It needs to be built so high!" Gu Feng exclaimed.

"There's no other way. How can we bring water into the inn if we don't build it higher?" If we want the water to flow directly to a higher place, we need a third-party power source, such as a pump, but unfortunately there is none here.

"Build a pool that is higher than the inn. Water can be brought into the inn directly through bamboo pipes. At the inn end, it can be controlled simply by using the faucet switch." Gu Yin demonstrated by sliding his fingers above the drawing.

"Where does the water in the pool come from?" It's not easy to get water up into such a high pool.

"Think about it carefully?" Gu Yin grinned, "You have been in the workshop for so long, think about what you can use here."

Gu Feng pondered for a moment and then said with certainty: "Pulley!"

The pulley system can not only change the direction of force but also save effort, which makes it perfect for use here.

"That's right, build the pool next to the well so that it will be easy to get water." Gu Yin nodded in agreement.

Gu Yin had considered drawing water from the Lingshui River outside the city, using water trucks and large bamboo pipes to bring the water into the city, or even laying a water network so that citizens throughout the city could easily use tap water.

However, if this were really to be done, a lot of large bamboo pipes would have to be erected above the buildings in Ning County, which is obviously not very realistic.

Imagine a girl passing under a big bamboo tube, and the tube suddenly cracks, and the water pours down...

The cost is too high and the stability is not good. So it is better to build a small area next to the inn, and it does not take much effort to maintain. It is also very convenient for the people in the county to use well water directly.

"This will make it very convenient for the inn to use water in the future!" Gu Feng's eyes lit up with excitement.

In other inns, guests had to ask the waiter to fetch water upstairs when they needed it, and the water for washing was kept in small basins, which was naturally not very convenient to use. Now with this faucet and washbasin, it is much easier for guests to use water.

This kind of inn is definitely the first of its kind in Daji Dynasty. Thinking that he will be responsible for building this inn, Gu Feng's heart suddenly became surging.

Taking a few deep breaths, Gu Feng suppressed the excitement that was about to jump out of his chest, and humbly asked Gu Yin: "Miss, is there anything else I need to pay attention to in this inn?"

"Well... there is another more important issue. Sound insulation must be done well. The sewers, rooms and floors must all be soundproofed." Gu Yin said directly, "Think about it, when people upstairs flush the toilet, the sewer will make a loud noise. This may be okay during the day, but if someone gets up at night, the people downstairs will suffer..."

Gu Yin thought of the costume dramas she watched when she was a child. The people downstairs in the inn could actually see the people upstairs through the gaps in the wooden boards. As for eavesdropping on the conversation, there was no need to eavesdrop at all, as they could hear everything clearly. There was no privacy at all, and she didn't know how those people lived there peacefully.

"Can soundproofing be achieved?" Gu Yin asked uncertainly.

Gu Feng nodded: "Okay, but it will take some thought."

"Oh? How can I do that?"

"If we build a wall with the mouths of ceramic jars facing inwards, we can achieve the goal of 'being close to the neighbors but not being able to hear them', but the cost will be much higher." Gu Feng replied.

"I see. It doesn't matter if the price is a little higher, just go for it and do it to the best of your ability!" Gu Yin originally thought about buying old cotton, old clothes and the like to stuff it inside, but when she thought about the possibility that rats and bugs would make their homes there, she gave up the idea.

"Then Miss, isn't there a place to eat on the first floor of the inn?" Gu Feng asked again in confusion as he looked at the drawing.

"No, the inn only has rooms besides the front desk." As I said, if it provides both accommodation and food, it will definitely attract rats, and the environment will definitely not be very good.

Gu Feng wrote down Gu Yin's words and nodded repeatedly. The two discussed some other issues, and Gu Yin began to drive people away: "Okay, let's do it this way for now. This matter is entirely up to you. If you have any questions, you can come to me at any time."

Gu Feng agreed and went back to prepare.

After everything about the inn was arranged, Gu Yin immediately called Feicui.

It was rare for Feicui to be with her young lady. She had a smile on her face and her eyes were slightly bright. "Miss, what do you want to see me about?"

"Of course I have something to talk to you about. But is everything going well at the restaurant? How is Xie Qiao doing with her studies now?"

Xie Qiao was the girl who was sold to the village chief's son by her mother in Xiejia Village. After she broke off relations with her mother, she returned with Gu Yin.

However, Xie Qiao is different from Du Yunniang and Yun Liniang. Xie Qiao is more tenacious and strong-willed. Gu Yin found that she has good learning ability and is willing to interact with people, so she asked her to help Feicui.

"Miss, everything is fine at the restaurant. Xie Qiao is now very good at accounting and managing things, and can handle things on her own." Feicui answered truthfully.

"Then you can leave the restaurant business to Xie Qiao. I have other things for you to do."

"Okay!" Jade agreed without hesitation.

Seeing this, Gu Yin smiled and said, "You agreed without even asking me what I asked you to do?"

"I'll do anything the young lady asks me to do." Feicui looked calm, the young lady wouldn't harm her.

"That's what I've been waiting for!" Gu Yin chuckled, "So, I plan to open a barbecue restaurant, a snack bar, and a massage parlor."

Feicui's face, which had been smiling faintly, froze: "So many at once?"

"Not many, not many, just three." Gu Yin waved her hand, "There are other stores, but I'll find someone else to take care of them."

Feicui pulled the corner of her mouth: "But Miss, I can't handle it all at once."

"Hey... don't worry, I've arranged everything." Gu Yin pulled out two blueprints and handed one to Feicui. "Look, this is for a barbecue restaurant. The main thing is a barbecue stove, and the rest are tables, chairs and benches. Just hire a few carpenters to build it according to this layout, and you can check it occasionally."

"A snack bar is similar to this. Just keep the shop clean. The snacks sold are meat sandwiches, hand-pulled pancakes, pumpkin pancakes, etc. I'll give you the recipes later and you can hire someone to learn."

Gu Yin handed over another piece of paper: "And this one, it's for a massage parlor, only accepting female customers, buy a bigger shop, preferably one with two floors. The massage parlor also needs to be busy with custom-made tools, just this massage bed, for the rest, you can recruit some girls back, I'll let Pearl come and train them."

After saying this, Gu Yin felt a little guilty, as if she had a lot of things to do: "How is it? Is it okay?"

"If you are too busy, you can train a few more helpers. There will be more things to do in the future." Gu Yin added.

Jade thought for a moment and nodded: "No problem!"
