Chapter 242 Customized Furniture
"Master, your smile is very obscene. Xiangxiang feels that someone is going to be in trouble."
"What are you talking about?
I was just thinking that my eldest brother and Yu Xiaohai couldn't get out of the space for a while, so when their injuries healed, I might as well bring some seeds over and let them farm.
There is so much land, we cannot waste it."
"..."
"That's right, two young men with endless energy.
The injury hasn't healed yet, and Old Man Pan's courtyard has been destroyed like this. If it heals...
Tsk tsk tsk, Xiangxiang doesn’t even dare to think about it. Let them do the work.”
"It's just an idea. Let's wait until they get better."
After finishing his meal, Yu Xiaohai looked at Song Anning eagerly again and asked anxiously:
"Xiaochuan Xiaoyu..."
"Xiaochuan and Xiaoyu are safe and healthy. They are now working in a teahouse in Linhai Town. They have food and shelter, and they can earn dozens of copper coins every day."
"Oh. So where are we? Where is this?"
"..."
"This is my territory, you better behave yourself and don't run around.
Be careful not to get caught by bad guys, they beat you up really hard."
"We're right here, we're not going anywhere, don't hit me."
"There are delicious foods here, and I have a sister. I won't leave."
Old Man Pan said that they only had the IQ of a three or four-year-old, but Song Anning discovered that sometimes they couldn't even keep up with a three or four-year-old. They believed whatever she said and rarely thought for themselves.
"Then you guys go have fun. I'm leaving now. Clean up the yard when you're free and don't litter."
Hearing Song Anning say this, Yu Xiaohai just nodded, while Song Zeyu grabbed his sister's sleeve and said in a panic, "Why are you leaving right after arriving? Brother will take you out to play."
"I have to go to work, I'll come play with you in a couple of days.
Be obedient, big brother. Go back to your room and sleep when it gets dark. Go to the river to wash your face and rinse your mouth when you get up in the morning. I will bring you some delicious food next time I come."
"Then I can help you with the work, let's work together."
To prevent him from crying again, Song An Ning could only patiently say, "Brother, have you forgotten? There are bad guys outside.
Heal your wounds first. Also, the fence in the yard is down. If you have nothing else to do, go fix it."
"Oh, then I'll be obedient and listen to you."
After saying that, Song Zeyu and the other person went straight to the courtyard, lowered their heads and started working seriously.
Seeing this, Song An Ning asked Xiangxiang to check that there was no one outside, then he left the space and went back to the house to sleep.
After breakfast the next day, Song An Ning went to Song Erhe's house and took out the drawings of the kang and the floor dragon.
"That's amazing! If we follow this, it will be much easier."
Song Erhe has been a bricklayer for half his life and couldn't let go of this blueprint. If he weren't old, he really wanted to do it himself and make the ground dragon according to the blueprint.
"I got this blueprint from a northerner, so I'll give it to you, uncle. Winters are too cold here, so if you build a new house with floor heating, you won't be afraid of the cold.
If my uncle and his friends learn this, they can also make some money."
"How can that be? This is the blueprint you provided, so I'll give you half of the profit.
If ordinary people had this at home, they wouldn’t freeze to death in winter.”
Song Erhe has always been conscious in this regard. Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly. Aning is just a child. These elders have already made a lot of money because of her, and they cannot take advantage of her anymore.
"That's the same as a duck egg, 20% will do. Actually, I know nothing about this. It's just a diagram. Uncle and the others still need to figure out the details."
"Listen to me, 30%. When they make money, I'll keep a record of it and send it to you."
Song Anning had no intention of making money from this, but gave the drawings because he needed them for his own family.
And for someone who does this kind of work all day, it's not a complicated thing. You can learn it just by looking at the drawings.
But since Second Grandpa said so and has made up his mind to turn earth dragons into a business, I'll just listen to him.
"Okay, then I'll be obedient.
I came here for another matter. I'd like you to accompany me to the carpenter's house so that I can move in the furniture as soon as it's ready."
Song Erhe nodded. Aning's house was big, so they definitely had more furniture. There was nothing wrong with doing it earlier.
The carpenter's family was at the front of the village, and his surname was Lin. He was a cousin of Grandpa Lin, who collected mountain products in the village.
He has two sons, and now all three of them are carpenters. Their craft has been passed down from generation to generation, and it's quite good. Almost all the furniture used by people in the surrounding villages is made by him.
The reason why Song An Ning didn't want to go by herself was because she had stolen other people's food and defecated in their well before, and was chased and scolded by their two daughters-in-law for half a month.
With Song Erhe's company, the atmosphere wasn't so awkward.
After the two arrived at his house, the Lin family's attitude was quite good because Song Erhe was there.
Especially the old man of the Lin family, he recently heard many people in the village say that Aning has become a better person and is leading the villagers to make money.
Although his family doesn't grow peppers and is not short of this little money, in his heart, this child admits his mistakes and corrects them, and thinks about everyone while making money. That is a good child.
"What does Xiao Aning want to do? Here's the booklet, take a look first."
Song An Ning took over a thick booklet. The cover was made of a thin wooden board. It was unknown how many years it had been used. The surface of the board was very smooth and engraved with patterns, giving it an antique feel.
After opening it, there are few words but many pictures, and each picture is very vivid.
There is a reason why they make money. Few people in the village can read. People who make custom furniture must be unsure if they can't see the finished product just by talking about it.
But it’s different after seeing the picture. My mind will automatically imagine the scene of such a cabinet placed in my own house.
"We have a kang at home, so we don't need a bed. But we need this Luohan bed."
"Arhat bed? This thing is usually placed in the study room for scholars to rest.
If you want to put it in the bedroom, a small couch will be enough."
Carpenter Lin turned the booklet to the back of a page and pointed to a small couch that was a circle smaller than the Luohan bed.
"I need a Luohan bed. My son Ayuan wants to study, so I prepared a study for him.
We need six more couches, just make them according to the picture."
Carpenter Lin thought he hadn't heard clearly, so he repeated, "Six couches?"
"Yes, this new house has many rooms, so I can make all the furniture in one go, saving you the trouble of having to come here again and again.
And these round tables and round stools, two sets. Two desks and two crescent tables..."
From tables, chairs, benches to wardrobes and cupboards, as well as wooden boxes, hangers, candlesticks, etc. After Song An Ning finished speaking in one breath, everyone in the Lin family gathered around, feeling dizzy.
"Ning girl, is that too much?
How about you try to reduce the cost a bit? Even if we use the cheapest wood, it will cost more than twenty taels of silver.
Putting aside the money, it would take at least two months for the three of us to do this."
Song Erhe didn't say anything. Considering the number of houses, what she wanted was not much.
It’s just that villagers usually only order a few pieces of furniture, but suddenly a large order came in, and it was placed by Song An Ning. The Lin family felt like they were dreaming.
"This is fifty taels, as a deposit. As for wood, rosewood, wenge, beech, pine, poplar, elm, etc. are all acceptable.
Grandpa Lin has been a carpenter all his life, so he naturally knows what kind of wood is best for different furniture. I won’t show off.
There's no rush for these, just make the cabinets and tables first, and the couch and other small items can be made later."
Old Master Lin carefully took the banknote, looked at it over and over again, and after confirming that it was correct, he smiled kindly.
“Oh, Aning gave me a big deal.
Don't worry, grandpa will make it for you well. It will take about half a month to make the table and cabinet.
It will take some time to build the small couch, so don't worry."
After the matter was settled, Song Erhe talked to the Lin family for a while, and Song Anning stood aside and listened obediently.
At this time, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Lin family stood at the door with a cold face and shouted at Song An Ning:
"Hey, little girl from the Song family, come here. I want to confirm something with you."
"What?"
