Chapter 656 Furniture
Su Ruoyun felt excited and anticipating when she thought about the store opening.
Seeing Su Ruoyun's excitement, Gu Lenghan couldn't help but smile.
It’s better to let her do what she likes. He can feel that she is very happy doing these things.
So Gu Lenghan thought in his heart that Su Ruoyun would be his queen, and even if as his queen, she wanted to do business or open a store, he would support her.
Now he has seized power in the Gulin Royal Court with thundering means. What happened half a month ago also frightened the noble families. If they were sensible, they would not come out to cause trouble.
In this way, no one would dare to question the queen when she opened a shop and did business.
After everything was prepared, Su Ruoyun had people put things in order and tidy up the table.
Su Ruoyun explained some things to everyone and said, "Okay, everyone go back and rest early, and come back early tomorrow morning to prepare for the store opening."
Anyway, Su Ruoyun has already trained everyone on what to pay attention to when opening a store, and everyone knows what to do.
There are also a lot of rice noodles prepared in the kitchen, all of which are dried rice noodles.
The rice noodles dried in this way will not go bad even if they are kept for a period of time.
When the time comes, the kitchen will cook the rice noodles and you can just follow the steps to make the corresponding food.
Making some rice noodle dishes does not require any technical skills.
She just arranged a few subordinates who could cook to do these in the kitchen.
Anyway, Su Ruoyun is not afraid that everyone will learn the secret recipe.
Anyway, after a while, when most of the people in the Gulin Royal Court know about rice noodles, I can tell everyone what rice noodles are made of.
In that way, the people of Gulin Royal Court can use rice crackers as food.
After everyone left, Su Ruoyun looked at Gu Lenghan and said, "How about it, how about decorating the store like this?"
Gu Lenghan smiled and said, "It's quite good, simple and warm, with the feeling of a restaurant."
When Su Ruoyun opened a restaurant in Hezhou before, the decoration style of the restaurant was quite different.
But the decoration of the rice noodle shop is very simple. In Su Ruoyun's words, it is called the log style.
Su Ruoyun said: "I have to say that decorating a store here in Gulin Royal Court is quick and inexpensive. These tables and chairs are very cheap."
“It’s mainly because the raw materials are cheap.”
The Ancient Forest Royal Court is surrounded by forests, with many tall trees and a wide variety of woods, making it very convenient to make tables and chairs.
Just go to the mountains and forests to cut down some trees and use them to make furniture.
It's not a big deal.
"But the Helan family's craftsmanship is indeed excellent. The patterns carved on the tables and chairs are exquisite and beautiful."
Gu Lenghan looked at the tables and chairs in the store and said, "I see that the tables and chairs in the store have no patterns, they are very simple."
Su Ruoyun said: "I just want to make such simple tables and chairs, nothing too complicated."
"Think about it, this shop is just a simple restaurant with simple wooden tables and chairs. Everyone can come and relax while eating."
"If the furniture is so luxurious and high-end, ordinary people will feel uncomfortable when they come to eat, for fear of bumping into or knocking on the table, or of getting into trouble with the owner if they break it."
Gu Lenghan smiled and said, "You are really thoughtful."
He didn't think so much.
"I'll come over to help tomorrow!"
Su Ruoyun hurriedly said, "No, if you want to come over, you can quietly stay in the second-floor wing at the back. You are the king now, and it will scare everyone if you are recognized."
"Okay, then I'll be in the wing."
Su Ruoyun looked at Gu Lenghan's expression and said, "Are you angry?"
Gu Lenghan said, "How could that be? You're right. If some people recognize me, ordinary people might not be able to come here to eat rice noodles."
"Our original goal was to promote the reputation of rice noodles and let more people know about this food. Then when we promote rice crackers, people will be more receptive to them."
They all have the same idea.
As if thinking of something, Su Ruoyun said, "After the rice noodle business is back to normal, I plan to go to your more remote forests to see what can be grown or if I can find any food."
"I hired people to grow potatoes on your two farms before, and I'll see if there's anything else I can grow."
"Of course, you see, these melon seeds were found in your imperial farm. There are a lot of sunflowers, so you can fry a lot of melon seeds and eat them."
Gu Lenghan had also eaten this kind of melon seeds before. They tasted really good, but they were quite time-consuming to make.
When Gu Lenghan was busy dealing with memorials in the palace, he naturally had no time to eat melon seeds.
But every time I come to Ruoyun, I feel more relaxed and can talk and eat some melon seeds with Ruoyun.
The most important thing is that Ruoyun likes to eat melon seeds. Gu Lenghan’s favorite thing to do is to peel the melon seeds for Ruoyun and put a lot of melon seeds in a bag for her to eat.
This way she can eat more melon seeds when she is free without having to bother peeling them.
Su Ruoyun also knew that Gu Lenghan doted on her.
She is a sensitive person, so she can naturally feel it.
"Okay, you can make the arrangements, and I'll go with you to take a look."
Upon hearing this, Su Ruoyun was very happy.
Naturally, she also hoped that Gu Lenghan could accompany her to do many things.
"Aren't you very busy? Do you have time?"
Gu Lenghan smiled and said, "It was indeed very busy at the beginning, but it has been a lot easier recently."
After placing his own people in place, promoting some officials who truly work for the people, and selecting real talents, Gu Lenghan can feel much more relaxed with his subordinates working seriously and officials doing practical work.
He'll just take control of the situation.
When Su Ruoyun heard this, she said happily, "Okay, then let's go to the manor and take a look in a few days."
"Okay, it just so happens that I haven't been to see what these farms look like."
Although it is called Zhuangzi, in fact most of it is woodland.
However, there are many wild animals in it, which makes hunting convenient.
Many villages in the ancient forest royal court are built on the mountains.
Most villagers also hunt.
The village was built differently from the villages of the Great Yan Dynasty.
The village houses here are built with stones and are more solid.
It is also to stop wild beasts.
In fact, Su Ruoyun also had an idea, "Lenghan, there are so many mountains and forests here, have you ever thought about turning some of them into farmland?"
Perhaps with more arable land, people would no longer rely on hunting and gathering for food, and perhaps they would learn to grow many crops.
There may not have been some crops that were adapted to the environment here in the past, but crops such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, peanuts, and corn are suitable for cultivation in the Gulin Royal Court.
Gu Lenghan smiled and said, "It's not that easy."
"Arranging for people to cut down some trees and clear the fields requires manpower and resources, so people won't do it on their own initiative."
"Furthermore, the trees we felled had little use for other than burning. People didn't make much furniture, and most houses were built with stone."
For the people of the Ancient Forest Royal Court, palaces and houses built of stone can make everyone feel more secure.
An idea suddenly occurred to Su Ruoyun: "Then we can make exquisite furniture and ship it to other countries."
"I've seen the Helan family's carvings, they're truly exquisite. The tables and chairs they made for their stalls are all very beautiful. Craftsmen in the Great Yan Dynasty are actually quite scarce, so when people need furniture, they have to order it months in advance."
“There is no place dedicated to training craftsmen.”
"Some good craftsmen are also in the Ministry of Works, building palaces and the like for the royal family."
"If there were ready-made furniture, not only the Great Yan Dynasty, but also other countries like the Northern Rong would buy it."
Gu Lenghan also thought this was a good idea, and he could actually try to make it.
"It's just difficult to move. Small furniture is fine, but large furniture is more troublesome."
Su Ruoyun thought of what her third aunt had said, and she said, "First move the furniture boards, and then arrange for people to temporarily install them when they arrive."
Gu Lenghan looked at Su Ruoyun with admiration and said, "Your idea is quite good."
"We can ask a craftsman to give it a try."
"But this way we can set up a department under the royal court's control to be responsible for furniture, and prevent people from cutting down trees at will."
"Because people still rely mainly on hunting for a living. Although there are many forests, wild animals also depend on the forests for survival..."
Gu Lenghan felt that he needed to think about it carefully.
Su Ruoyun also nodded. Indeed, the implementation of a thing requires consideration of many aspects. If there is ready-made furniture, you can just buy it directly.
Su Ruoyun thought that it was like opening a store. If there were ready-made furniture, she wouldn't have to customize it. She could just buy pieces of similar size and place them in the store.
In this way, she could open the store earlier.
Gu Lenghan looked at Su Ruoyun, and thinking about what she had said, his blood boiled in his heart.
He thought that with Ruoyun accompanying him, they should be able to govern the Gulin Royal Court better.
