Chapter 96 A strange family

Hou Jingming gave Ni Jiacai a good reputation for the people in the third department.

Ni Dasheng is the current head of Ni Jiacai. Ni Jiacai has been passed down for hundreds of years and has an unchanging rule: only two guests are received every day.

And you can order whatever you want in ordinary restaurants, but at the Nijia restaurant, what you can eat depends on what the chef wants to do.

Even if the chef is in a bad mood, he will not refund the money he reserved and still have to pay the full set of money after half of the meal. The reservation quota will not be compensated.

Hou Jingming also said a shocking news: the reservation list of Ni's restaurants has reached twenty years later. Except for the Ni's restaurants that broke the rules when European leaders visited China, no one has ever made Ni's restaurants make an exception in the past few decades.

It is said that even the city leaders were on the queue list. Some people wanted to ask Ni Dasheng to make an exception several times, but they did not expect Ni Dasheng to directly cancel the quota for the leader's queue.

"Do you think this Ni family dish is amazing?"

But the more this happens, the more confused the few people are. Ni Jiacai is so powerful, why do eleven people in a family of 11 still have to squeeze into such a small old house?

Don't have money to buy a house? Obviously not.

Unable to help but wonder, Shen Man took a few people to see Ni Dasheng’s old house at the gate.

The house is from the 1980s and 1990s. There is a small attic on the top and bottom floors, and a yard of more than 20 square meters on the first floor.

There are three rooms on the first floor of the house, and the master bedroom is home to Ni Dasheng and his wife. It is the only bedroom in the whole house with a separate bathroom.

There are two very small bedrooms next to it, namely the bedrooms of Ni Dasheng's eldest son and third daughter.

There are also three rooms on the second floor, and Ni Xiaoying and his wife live in the master bedroom. Ni Xiaoying's two daughters live in the adjacent bedroom.

Another son lived in another room on the second floor because he had already entered high school and needed a quiet study space.

Originally, Ni Dasheng's youngest son lived here, but in order not to affect his nephew's study, he reached the age of working, so his youngest son Ni Gang moved to the attic on the third floor.

The attic was originally a utility room. Although the space was enough, it was only 1.5 meters tall. Ni Dasheng's youngest son was more than 1.80 meters tall. Every time he went up and downstairs to return to the room, he looked like a soldier who fought a tough battle to return to the camp.

There are really many problems.

First of all, there is not enough bathrooms. Ni Xiaoying's children are all at school. They get up almost the same time every morning to wash up. The three students are bumpy and bumpy every day because of going to the toilet. They feel resentful over time.

In addition, there is no private space at all.

Fortunately, in addition to Ni Dasheng and his wife, the eldest son Ni Haicheng and the third daughter Ni Qiao both have separate rooms, and there is no big privacy issues between each other.

But the second floor is different. Three adolescent students are crowded together. They want to read books quietly on weekdays, let alone privacy.

Moreover, due to disrepair, there were cracks in the walls between the bedrooms on the second floor, which made Ni Xiaoying and his wife very embarrassed. Every time their husband had an idea, they would sneak to the hotel outside for a secret meeting like an underground party.

Not to mention the youngest son on the third floor, he had to live a big way as soon as he entered the house, and he had to endure it for four or five years, and his spine was about to deform.

In addition, because the bathroom on the first floor is just below the stairs, there is only where you can take a shower, but the bathroom has no external window, so it can only open the window on the side facing the room.

As a result, every night, more than a dozen people took a shower, and the hot water vapor rushed straight to the attic. Over time, the attic smell was already smelling moldy.

While several people were still thinking about how to renovate the old house, Chen Man had quietly observed the people in the old house.

Ni Dasheng obviously has a strange temper. Since several people came to the door, Ni Dasheng has been staying in his room. When Ni Xiaoying came back, Ni Dasheng looked at the form on the wall with a stern look. Ni Xiaoying led the few people into the room and turned her head to cut the dishes in front of the chopping board at the stairs.

Chen Man only saw what was written on the table now. He cut the pulp at 5 o'clock in the morning for forty minutes and cut the fish at 7 o'clock for forty minutes. He was also full of exercises from 2 o'clock in the afternoon until 4:30.

Ni Xiaoying has been doing this for thirty years since she came into contact with Ni Jiacai at the age of twelve.

No one can truly understand the hard work of craftsmen, but it still shocked the few people in the third part.

Ni Dasheng's third daughter Ni Qiao is just 27 years old this year. She is in her prime but she feels inexplicably old-fashioned. She looks good and very attractive, but she is neither married nor a boyfriend at this age. Her hands seem to be covered with fine wrinkles after experiencing vicissitudes.

Chen Man discovered a very strange phenomenon. During the period after Ni Xiaoying returned home, she had eye contact with almost every family member, but she did not look at her third sister Ni Qiao at all.

Even when Ni Xiaoying took Chen Man and the others to visit the house and saw Ni Qiao's room, she just stood at the door with her back facing the door and did not enter the door at all.

There is obviously some conflict between the two sisters.

Several younger generations were all going to school, which made Chen Man and others feel much more relaxed. After all, this house can no longer squeeze out more people.

Ni Dasheng's youngest son Ni Gang just started working this year and looks very fashionable and rebellious. It is not difficult to see that Ni Dasheng and Ni Gang have a bad relationship, and are even more tense than Ni Xiaoying and Ni Qiao.

Chen Man guessed something roughly and knew that this case would not be as simple as before.

What Chen Man has always been confused about is that the Ni family and the others met Ni Haicheng, the eldest son who had not met Ni Dasheng. She could see that Ni Dasheng was a traditional old man. In theory, even if he could not do it himself, it should be the eldest son Ni Haicheng who was responsible for the matter of decorating a house.

Chen Man was thinking, when the door of his eldest son Ni Haicheng opened.

Then came a sound of a beast-like roaring sound. The sound was extremely terrifying. In addition, the dimness and dullness in the corridor really made the people of the third brother frightened.

Ni Xiaoying subconsciously wanted to go in, but was pushed away by Ni Qiao beside her. She pushed Ni Xiaoying to the wall with great strength: "You don't need to be hypocritical, I said I won't allow you to enter my elder brother's room!"

Ni Qiao's tone was very strict and even hatred. It was not difficult to see from the look she looked at Ni Xiaoying that there were many unresolved conflicts between the family.

Chen Man knew very well that the difficulty of this design case is not only in the layout and renovation plan. No matter how reasonable a home is arranged, it cannot make up for the omissions in family affection.

In fact, the relationship between the Ni family is much more complicated than Chen Man imagined.

Since entering the third part, Chen Man's understanding of the designer has become more and more profound.

The layout of the house is just one of them, or even the least important one, because it is a basic skill for designers to plan space reasonably.
