Song Sanniang's Journey to Wealth

The two of them discussed the bunk beds, and then Song Sanniang began to talk to Master Tan about the furniture in the store.

"Master Tan, I plan to use different tables, chairs and benches for different areas in my shop. I would like to ask you to draw them."

Upon hearing this, Master Tan picked up his paintbrush.

"I just told you the location of the store I rented. You should know the layout of that store, right?" Song Sanniang confirmed it first.

Master Tan nodded, and then Song Sanniang continued, "I divided the store on the first floor into three areas. I plan to make a counter on the left side.

I plan to make the upper two-thirds of the right side of the door into a glass sliding window.

Then use long boards to make a long table underneath, so that guests can eat facing the street view, and the stools can be turned into high chairs. "

After Song Sanniang finished speaking, she paused and waited for Master Tan to draw. Then she made modifications based on Master Tan's drawing.

Once Master Tan had modified it to the way she wanted, we would move on to the next area.

"For the area in the middle of the store, I want to use a round table. Don't use the bucket-like round tables that you usually sell in your store.

I want to make the legs of the round table larger and thicker in a trumpet shape, so as to get rid of the existing bulky feeling and make it look light, simple and stable. "

After the two of them agreed on the shape, material, and size of the round table, they began to discuss the chairs.

"I don't want an ordinary chair either. The backrest of the chair is made into a hollow shell shape, like an open shell.

But it has to fit the curve of our back so that it can be comfortable to lean on.

The front of the seat should be hollowed out, the seat should be round, and the legs should be thinner, not too thick.

So the two of them discussed the shape, material selection, size, etc. of the chair, and finally finalized it.

"Master Hong and his team will help me build a long strip of seats against the wall.

When the time comes, I will trouble Master Tan to place the same wooden boards as the round tables in the store on the seats to make benches.

The table can also be made of the same round table, and the chairs facing the wall can be made of the same wood into long hollow backrest wooden chairs. "

The two discussed this part again, and after confirming it, they went to the area on the second floor.

“There are more seats on the second floor than on the first floor. I want to make all the chairs walnut-colored benches with backrests. Each chair can seat three people.

The chair back is made into a long arc shape, and the backrest is also made into a hollow one. The table is a walnut long table of the same color.

I’m worried that there won’t be enough seats, so I’ll need two more stools on both sides of the long table, so I’m going to make some more stools in the same color, still with hollowed-out details.”

The two began to discuss again. By the time they had confirmed everything, the drawing paper was in a mess.

So Master Tan drew a new, correct version, clean and clear, and the two signed a contract and agreed on a delivery date.

Master Tan then began to talk to Song Sanniang about other things.

"Little girl, are your ancestors also furniture makers? Why are the furniture you make so novel and something we have never made before?" Master Tan was curious.

"Master Tan, this is all just my own random thinking. I think it looks good this way.

Actually, the furniture you make is very beautiful, but I wanted something different, so I thought of it myself. "Song Sanniang has now mastered the skill of lying without feeling guilty.

"Well, Miss Song, I will help you finish this batch of furniture. Can you make your furniture style and sell it? I will give you money."

Master Tan is not only a craftsman, but also a businessman. He saw business opportunities in Song Sanniang's furniture.

Of course, we have to seize the opportunity. After all, the furniture industry in the city is like this. There is no novelty.

He could also foresee that Song Sanniang's shop would become popular after it opened, and he would then sell a batch of furniture and believe he would also be able to make some money.

"Sure, wait until you finish making this batch for me, then we can discuss it, but Master Tan can't sell it now." Song Sanniang pretended to be naughty and said,

"Of course, of course. If you don't keep your promises, you won't last long in our business." Master Tan replied with a smile.

Finally, Song Sanniang paid a deposit of twenty taels, and several people left the furniture store and headed for their next destination.

On the way, Song Sanniang asked Song Laoer and his partner, "Mom and Dad, will you be bored there?"

"No, no, it sounds interesting. I didn't expect that our third wife has a talent for making furniture." Song Lao Er laughed.

"I don't feel bored either. I'll let you think about the furniture for our new house. It will definitely look good." Mrs. Song also said happily.

Soon we arrived at the porcelain shop. There were several porcelain shops here with a wide variety of products.

Song Sanniang felt that the porcelain in their store was much more beautiful than she had imagined. It was simply a visual enjoyment.

She didn't have to think about it. She ordered tableware from three stores, paid a deposit, and would pick it up when the store was ready.

Finally, I went to the place where I could buy charcoal stoves. Unfortunately, I didn't see any coal stoves. I guess they didn't exist at that time. After all, coal was mainly used for iron smelting in ancient times.

Fortunately, charcoal stoves come in different sizes, and she chose the largest one. She then ordered a batch of charcoal and charcoal stoves, paid the deposit on delivery, and will pick them up when the time comes.

It was almost afternoon now. We had spent too much time in the furniture store, so we just found a place to eat.

I didn't know if Niu Lao San and his friends would buy food in the store, so we bought some steamed buns when we left.

Thinking that Master Hong and the others were also there, I bought some pastries for them.

When we got back, Master Hong and his men had been busy in the store for most of the day.

The counter on the left corner has been removed, and now they are removing the stairs on the left.

Song Sanniang's plan is to turn the left staircase into a display cabinet and counter, and the original counter into a staircase. Judging from the progress, it should be completed in a day or two.

The original floor of the store was made of stone bricks, but unfortunately there are no ceramic tiles now, so Song Sanniang replaced part of the stone bricks with decorative tiles and part with pebbles, which makes it look more unique.

After returning to the store, Song Ersao and Song Sanniang went back to the backyard to get steamed buns for Niu Laosan and his friends, while Song Laoer took some cakes and gave them to Master Hong and his friends who were working.

"Thank you for your hard work, chefs. We bought some cakes. Come and eat whenever you are hungry. I'll put them here."

Song Lao Er brought a stool, put the cakes on it, and then said to the chefs with a smile,

"Thank you, Boss Song." Hong Yuan was not polite and thanked him with a loud smile.

Then he shouted to the people working there, "If anyone of you is hungry, go get some cakes and eat. Everyone, work hard and don't waste Boss Song's kindness."

Song Lao Er laughed and said, "You're welcome. I'll make you some tea. Don't be greedy for the cold water. Just drink the raw water. Drinking too much raw water will cause worms to grow."

This is also what Song Sanniang said. Their family no longer drinks raw water. They drink boiled water instead. After saying that, he went into the backyard to prepare tea.
