Chapter 59 Animal Tables and Chairs in the Western Regions
Before leaving, Li Youran still reminded his brother Kang Ze: "Brother, spring bamboo shoots are affordable, we can sell them at five cents per pound. Ginger is relatively rare, so it has to be sold at a higher price, we can sell it at six cents per pound. As for fish, although it is easy to catch now, it is meat after all, so we can also sell it at six cents per pound."
"Yes, I understand, second brother. Don't worry, little sister!" Li Kangze gently stroked his sister's hair, his eyes full of pampering and love.
"Then go quickly! Don't waste time." Li Youran smiled and waved goodbye to his father and brother.
Afterwards, Father Li led Li Yanqiang and Li Kangze on the road to the town. Before leaving, Father Li took the map drawn by his daughter Youran with him, and then drove the ox cart towards the town.
After arriving in the town, they first came to the back of the September Building. There was a small door there, which was used to deliver food. Outside the door stood a diligent waiter waiting for them.
"Excuse me, are you guys here to deliver goods? Please come in, sirs." The waiter asked with a smile on his face and a very polite attitude.
"That's right, please tell Manager Qi that we have something to discuss with him." Li Kangze responded promptly and stated his purpose without delay.
"Okay, everyone, please be patient. I'll go and call Manager Qi over right away." Upon hearing this, the waiter did not dare to be negligent and quickly turned around and went into the restaurant to report.
Sure enough, not long after, Manager Qi appeared in front of everyone, followed closely by several shop assistants.
"All these live goods are here." Li Kangze pointed to the goods on the ox cart behind him.
"Okay, I'll settle the money." Shopkeeper Qi wanted to pay the money directly and readily.
"Spring bamboo shoots are five cents a pound. Here are twenty pounds, which counts as one hundred cents. Ginger is six cents a pound. Here are ten pounds, which counts as sixty cents. Fish is considered meat, so it also counts as six cents a pound. Here are thirty pounds, which counts as three hundred and forty cents in total." Li Kangze looked at Manager Qi and repeated the prices his sister had given him. He then calculated the numbers in his mind and gave them out directly.
Shopkeeper Qi looked at Li Kangze with a hint of admiration in his eyes. He could do mental arithmetic faster than Li Kangze, the shopkeeper.
"Here, this is three hundred and forty coins." Shopkeeper Qi took out a string of one hundred coins from his sleeve. He took out three strings and counted out forty coins.
Li Kangze took it, counted the money and handed it to Li's father. Li's father and Li Yanqiang didn't speak the whole time. They looked at Li Kangze. Li's father wanted to train his second son.
Li Yanqiang is watching the operation and will deliver the goods himself tomorrow.
Before he left, Shopkeeper Qi called out from behind, "Send more tomorrow!"
Shopkeeper Qi knew that this dish was selling very well, so he let all the customers taste it. They all praised it highly and wanted to make reservations.
Reservations have been limited so that there will be a sense of freshness and everyone will rush to try these dishes.
Manager Qi asked the shop assistants to carry the ingredients into the kitchen.
When Mr. Li and his companions heard Manager Qi's shouting, they all felt that this business could be a long-term one.
Li Kangze pointed out the direction and asked Li's father to drive the ox cart to stop next to the store he bought yesterday.
The door was locked. After opening it with the key, there was a table and a chair inside.
"Dad, this is the shop my sister bought." Li Kangze introduced.
Li Yanqiang also entered the shop. Looking at the shop which only had a table and a chair, he took a deep breath and thought, how many chairs and tables should he buy?
"It seems a little empty here. I have to find a carpenter to make some tables and chairs. I'll make them just like Ran'er drew. I'm sure they will attract customers." Father Li's face was full of pride when he mentioned his precious daughter.
"Well, maybe it needs some more decoration!" Li Yanqiang interjected from time to time, and did not notice the words "painted by Ran'er" as he was looking around.
Father Li nodded repeatedly to show his agreement, then turned around to find the workers in charge of the decoration to come and do the work, and also had to customize some tables and chairs.
"Ze'er, you stay here and take care of it. Your uncle and I will go out to find someone to take a look." Father Li looked around and made sure that there was no suspicious person before he made arrangements with peace of mind.
"Got it!" Li Kangze responded obediently, then sat down on the chair next to him.
Father Li winked at Li Yanqiang, indicating that he should go with him to order tables and chairs.
"Third brother, what style of tables and chairs do we want to customize?" Li Yanqiang asked doubtfully. After all, there are only a few common styles of tables and chairs. No matter how novel and unique they are, they are probably only available to the rich and powerful.
Only then did Father Li realize that he had forgotten to show Li Yanqiang the design drawing drawn by Ran'er, so he hurriedly took out the drawing and handed it to him.
Li Yanqiang took the drawing and looked at it carefully for a long time. He was so surprised that he couldn't utter a word for a long time, because he had never seen such a unique design of tables, chairs and benches.
"Well, let's go to the carpenter and ask how much it would cost to order a set like this."
As Li's father said this, he asked Li Yanqiang to get on the ox cart and drove the cart to the back street. There was a street over there that was dedicated to building houses and had many shops.
"This will cost a lot of money!" Li Yanqiang looked at the pictures and felt that those paintings were difficult to make.
"It's worth it no matter how much money is spent." Father Li still has confidence in his daughter.
When the ox cart arrived at the alley in the back street, Father Li saw an old man who seemed to be in his fifties or sixties. He lowered his head and carved something.
Li's father drove the ox cart aside, and Li Yanqiang followed behind.
"Old man, can you customize the tables and chairs?" Father Li stared at the carved wooden stick in the middle-aged man's hand.
The old man looked up and said, "It can be customized. Do you have a picture?"
Father Li handed over the picture drawn by Li Youran and waited for the old man to speak.
The old man took it and looked at it carefully. The more he looked at it, the more excited he became. Who painted this? It was so exquisite that he actually used the appearance of animals to make tables, chairs and benches. The painting was so vivid and lifelike.
The old man stroked the table in the painting with shaking hands, then raised his head and looked at Father Li with excited eyes: "Who painted this? It's so exquisite, I've never seen it before."
"This was drawn by my daughter. She thought it was cute, so she drew it." Father Li said with a smile. Although he had never seen the animals in the picture, he had seen them in the picture book his daughter gave him, so he knew what kind of animals they were.
"So that's how it is. This animal actually came from the Western Regions. It's really eye-opening! I was curious for a moment and couldn't help asking a few more questions." A trace of sadness flashed in the old man's eyes, as if he remembered something from the past, but he didn't say much. He just looked at the drawing in front of him silently.
There are various animals drawn on the drawings, the most eye-catching of which are the tall giraffe and the mighty lion. In addition, there are also agile leopards, cute cats and dogs, etc.
However, only two animals, giraffes and lions, came from the Western Regions.
"Uncle, take a look, can it be made like this? How much silver does it cost? I can pay a part of the deposit first." Father Li did not pay attention to the Western Regions that the old man just mentioned. His mind was all on whether he could customize this set of tables and chairs.
After all, his daughter was knowledgeable and knew everything about the animals in the Western Regions, so she naturally knew more about these things.
"Well... this is indeed a bit difficult." The old man touched his chin and thought to himself.
Considering the complexity of the production process and the cost of the required materials, he slightly raised the price: "How about 600 Wen for a set of tables and chairs?"
Father Li couldn't help but frown after hearing this. This price is not low. But then he thought that since the process is complicated, it is understandable that the price is slightly higher.
So he gritted his teeth and agreed: "Okay, let's do a deal!" After that, he took out the silver and handed it to the old man, indicating that he was willing to pay the deposit.
