You are unlucky and I am tough

Chapter 230: Taking without asking is stealing

After passing through the peach blossom forest, you will reach the foot of Yunxi Mountain, the territory of the Wei family. Almost no one in the village comes here, even though it is very lively here during this period, with dozens of craftsmen coming here and all kinds of materials being transported in by carriages and horses every day.

But every family in the village received more than 20 taels of silver from selling the mountain, the Wei family also hired villagers to work, and collecting firewood made every family earn money, so even if the villagers were curious, they consciously kept quiet.

It's their territory, you can do whatever you want.

A group of six or seven scholars were originally strolling in the peach blossom forest, and as they walked they arrived at a waterfall pool at the foot of the mountain.

This place has changed a lot compared to before. The team of craftsmen in charge is large and efficient. In just a few days, they built a pavilion beside the waterfall pool, which is equipped with stone tables and stone benches. There are also long stone benches on the railings of the pavilion for people to sit on.

A fishing platform was also built with wooden boards and extended to the edge of the pond, which can accommodate three or four people to sit and fish together.

The stream flowing out of the pool was also modified. The rocks in the water were cleared, the stream was deepened, and a wooden bridge was built across the water to the other side.

The surrounding land has also been renovated. A path paved with bluestone slabs extends to the pavilion, and some grass is left around the pavilion for transplanting flowers and plants.

A little further away, there were piles of bluestone slabs and sand, and workers were carrying bluestone slabs up the mountain.

"I didn't expect there was such a wonderful place hidden at the end of the peach blossom forest. Chengjia Village is indeed a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery."

"They even built a pavilion." The scholar named Zheng, feeling a little tired from walking, suggested, "How about we go sit in the pavilion and enjoy the scenery?"

"This is the territory of the Wei family in the village. I'm afraid it's not appropriate." Zhao Xiuwen disagreed.

"What's wrong with sitting down for a while?" Cheng Caijun just wanted to get along well with a few scholars, especially Zheng Tu, the only son of Zheng Tongpan.

This time, it was Zheng Tu who wanted to make friends with Zhao Xiuwen. Because the Zhu brothers had taken the lead yesterday, they proposed to come to the village today. He had to seize this opportunity to have some contact with them and enter the circle of these sons of officials.

"Mr. Zheng, please come this way." Cheng Caijun walked onto the bridge first and made a gesture of invitation.

The water of the waterfall flows out from the rocks of the mountain and cascades down into the pool, about fifteen or sixteen meters high.

The rocks on the mountain are covered with green moss and ivy. The ivy has little white flowers and a faint fragrance.

"The breeze from the waterfall feels quite cool on my body. It's a perfect place to escape the heat on a hot summer day."

Several scholars gathered at the fishing platform to look at the fish in the pond. "Look, this pond is so deep you can't see the bottom. You can see fish under ten feet deep. There are quite a lot of fish in the water."

Zheng Tu said casually, "It would be nice if I had a fishing rod to fish with."

Cheng Caijun immediately said, "Someone in the village has a fishing rod. I can borrow it."

Zhao Xiuwen frowned, "Brother Cheng, don't forget that this is the Wei family's territory. You can just sit here, but how can you fish without permission?"

"Brother Zhao," Cheng Caijun said, looking somewhat displeased. "This is the Wei family's territory, yes, but you've probably forgotten that Wei Qinglang is my brother-in-law and I'm his cousin. Does something as trivial as catching a few fish still require permission?"

"So this is Brother Cheng's family's territory, then let's go and borrow a fishing rod."

"If you can catch some fish, you can make a pot of fresh fish soup."

"How about we place a bet and see who can catch a fish first?"

Zhao Xiuwen stood up upon seeing this, looked at Cheng Caijun sternly and said, "Taking something without asking is stealing. If Brother Cheng really wants to go fishing, I'll take my leave now."

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left.

Given the relationship between Cheng Shuang and Cheng Caijun's family, he didn't think Cheng Shuang would not care about Cheng Caijun taking people fishing without permission. But if he was also involved, the people of the Wei family would turn a blind eye even if they were unhappy.

Ever since he saved Wei Xinyi, the Wei family has regarded him as a benefactor, but he doesn't want to be a person who takes advantage of the favor.

"Brother Ziqi." Zheng Tu was stunned for a moment, looking left and right, and finally chose Zhao Xiuwen and chased after him, "Brother Ziqi, wait for me."

The others looked at each other in confusion and said, "Forget it, let's stop fishing."

"Yes, you really shouldn't fish on someone else's property without permission."

It is said that they all went after Zhao Xiuwen.

Cheng Caijun's face turned dark and he clenched his fists tightly. These people treated him so differently. Just because Zhao Xiuwen was first, was he outside the top 100?

Cheng Shuang and Wei Qinglang had no idea what happened at the foot of Yunxi Mountain.

Wei Qinglang worked until the afternoon, finally finishing the restaurant blueprints. Cheng Shuang took the finished blueprints and lay on a recliner, reading them while eating preserved fruit.

The two of them had discussed the general structure, and Cheng Shuang was very satisfied after seeing the first panoramic view.

There are three buildings on the panoramic map, one in front and two in the back. The three buildings are connected by corridor bridges, and there is a garden in the middle.

The front building has four floors, and the two buildings at the back, marked East Building and West Building, are both five floors.

Five floors is the highest number of floors that can be built in the city, but the specifications of the restaurant are higher than those of residential houses. The first floor is five meters high, and the fifth floor is nearly thirty meters.

The following are some detailed pictures of the interior. There is a stage in the lobby on the first floor of each building. There is no way around it. People here just like to watch dancing, listen to songs, and sing songs while eating. It’s lively, and they have to adapt to local customs.

Cheng Shuang quickly flipped through the internal details drawings at the back. The drawings were detailed and exquisite. She had no suggestions for revisions, so she sat up and handed the drawings back to Wei Qinglang.

Wei Qinglang said, "Bring it to Master Xie tomorrow to have a look. If he has no objection, we can build it according to this blueprint."

Cheng Shuang laughed. "He'd probably be horrified when he saw your blueprints. He'd probably hold onto his wallet tightly, amazed that a restaurant could actually be built like this."

"I'll take it as a compliment." Wei Qinglang tapped the tip of her nose with his finger.
