I fell through the tunnel and brought my family to live a good life - Chapter 231 Preliminary Design

"Brother Shen Xiao, look, this is the design of the second floor. The area I circled with a frame is where I plan to make it into a private room. The room near the stairs, circled with a red pen, is the office and rest area I reserved for Brother Wenhao. Once the restaurant opens, there will surely be a lot of things to do, so I allocated a separate room for Brother Wenhao." Xu Cong pointed and expressed his thoughts.

Shen Xiao listened carefully to Xu Congyi's explanation, nodding his head from time to time to show his agreement. He pointed to some details on the design and asked, "I can understand this, but what do the pictures in each room mean? For example, there are wavy lines in this room and a chicken in that room. Do these pictures have any special meaning?"

When Xu Cong saw Shen Xiao saying that she drew a chicken, she raised her head angrily and glared at Shen Xiao, "How can this be a chicken? It's a bird!"

Shen Xiao scratched his head awkwardly, "So it's a bird."

"We may as well call this landscape-themed room 'Bi Bo Xuan'. The rippling blue waves are like the clear springs in the mountains gathering into a stream and flowing through the pavilion, making people feel relaxed and happy and forgetting the hustle and bustle of the world. As for the flower-and-bird themed room, it is named 'Feng Ming Pavilion'. The phoenix sings loudly, and hundreds of birds pay homage to the phoenix. The flowers and birds in the pavilion complement each other and are full of vitality, implying auspiciousness and harmony, which will surely make guests linger."

"As for this poetry-style private room," Shen Xiao pondered for a moment, "how about calling it 'Moxiangzhai'? Ink is the basis for writing poetry, representing a profound cultural heritage; fragrance implies the beauty of poetry, like a fragrant scent that is refreshing. In Moxiangzhai, calligraphy works of famous poets from past dynasties can be hung, along with decorations, so that guests can feel the charm of poetry while tasting delicious food."

Xu Congyi was overjoyed and continued to discuss the details of the restaurant with Shen Xiao: "Brother Shen Xiao, in addition to these three styles, I also envisioned a private room with the theme of 'moon'. What do you think? The moon has been a carrier of emotion for scholars and writers since ancient times. It is cold and noble, and can trigger people's infinite reverie and emotion."

Shen Xiao's eyes flashed with interest when he heard this. He thought for a moment and said, "A private room with the moon as the theme is indeed a good idea. Then, we might as well call it 'Bright Moon Residence'. The bright moon is in the sky, and the light is everywhere. We can set up a lamp in the shape of a bright moon in the room, and decorate it with elegant blue and silver decorations."

Shen Xiao was a little embarrassed. "I don't know much about business matters, and I'm not good at designing drawings. I can help with naming, so I'm of some use."

"Brother Shen Xiao, you are too modest." Xu Congyi shook his head quickly, his tone full of sincerity, "The private rooms on the second floor need to be designed with emphasis, because many dignitaries will choose private rooms. Unique decoration plus a good name will definitely attract more customers."

……

They chatted for a long time today, and at 11:30, the alarm clock Xu Congyi set for herself rang. Xu Congyi realized that it was late. The alarm clock was reminding her to take a shower and go to bed.

Shen Xiao knew Xu Congyi's thoughtfulness and attentiveness, but for a long time, he was used to handling everything independently and didn't want to cause trouble to anyone, so on weekdays, he would boil water in the kitchen before going to the space and keep it warm in the pot. When he returned from the space, the water temperature was just right, enough for him to take a simple bath, wash up, and then tidy up everything and fall asleep peacefully. Usually, Xu Congyi knew Shen Xiao's personality, and she knew that people in this era were still relatively conservative. It was just late today, and the water had cooled down after returning. He had to boil water again, and it would probably be one o'clock in the morning to pack up everything.

Shen Xiao also realized this. He knew that if he went back now and boiled water again to wash, it would indeed be late. Looking at Xu Congyi's concerned eyes, he finally agreed. Xu Congyi immediately took out a set of long-sleeved home clothes for Shen Xiao, so that he didn't have to go back to get clean clothes. While Shen Xiao was taking a shower, Xu Congyi quickly put his clothes into the washing machine to wash, so that when Shen Xiao came out of the shower, his clothes would have been washed.
