"It's not far, just behind the mountain. My dad said he'll be back soon. He's just going to see if there's any suitable wood. He doesn't plan to cut any today."
Lin Zhi answered in a brisk tone.
Second Aunt said she came to see him and his father, so she must have some work for them.
"Well, let's wait. By the way, how's your carpentry skills going? How's your family business going?"
"To be honest with you, Auntie, I kind of regret learning carpentry," he said dejectedly.
?
"Why? There are so many people who want to learn a craft but have no place to learn it."
Li Yu was puzzled.
“Most people in the village make simple tables and chairs themselves, and few people pay for them.
Rich families, even those with a little money, won’t ask us to do it for them. They will go directly to the town to order better ones.”
So that's how it is, and it's human nature.
Rich people won’t buy it in the village, and there are only a few people who buy it in the village.
People who grew up in the village can make simple tables and chairs by themselves without spending any money.
This led to Lin Zhi's embarrassment. He said he had a skill, but it was useless and could not bring any income to his family.
Then there is no difference between them and ordinary farmers.
"You can do big things," she said.
"What big thing?"
Lin Zhi was puzzled.
"It's just a wardrobe. Don't many brides bring a wardrobe as a dowry?"
Li Yu spoke quickly before realizing that there were no wardrobes in ancient times.
Even her house wasn't there, and she said that she had felt that the house was very strange since she traveled through time.
She couldn't tell what was strange, but now she suddenly realized that there was no wardrobe.
"Wardrobe? I've never heard of it. The bride's dowry consists of beds and boxes. Second Aunt, have you forgotten?
When Ruoruo got married, my father made her a big box. Only wealthy families could afford such a bed.
Li Yu remembered that it was indeed true.
"Let me teach you how to make a wardrobe."
Although Li Yu is not a carpenter and has never made a wardrobe, the principle of a wardrobe is not difficult. All he needs to do is explain what it looks like and how it is made.
She believed that any experienced carpenter could do it.
"Really? Second Auntie really wants to teach me?"
Lin Zhi's eyes widened with excitement.
"My mother said she would teach you, and she will. Besides, I've never seen a wardrobe before. I want to see it."
Lin Jiang, who had been listening for a while, also expressed great interest in the wardrobe.
"Teach what? What haven't you seen?"
Just as Lin Jiang finished speaking, the voice of Uncle Lin was heard from outside the door.
He lifted the curtain and walked in:
"Second sister-in-law, A Jiang. You're back? I knew it was you when I saw the mule cart parked at the door. Did you come here directly instead of going back to the old house?"
"Well, I came here to ask for your help in making something for the store."
"No problem, but I just heard A Jiang at the door say that you taught A Zhi something. What was that? Even A Jiang has never seen it before."
Uncle Lin was curious.
Seeing that they were all interested, and since it was still early and he had nothing else to do, Li Yu simply started talking to them about wardrobes.
"I'm planning to open a woolen clothing store soon."
They all nodded. They all knew about this. But what did it have to do with this wardrobe?
Seeing that they were puzzled, Li Yu didn't keep them in suspense.
"I've been thinking about how to organize all these clothes, and finally I thought of hanging them up. I thought about making a few special cabinets for hanging clothes.
If you put a door on it, wouldn't it look neat and nice in the house? And it can be used not only in the store, but also at home.
Do you think this will save more space?"
Li Yu made up the story seriously. She only thought about making money before and never thought about these things.
But it didn't stop her from talking nonsense.
After hearing what Li Yu said, the three of them felt that this wardrobe was indeed more practical than a box. It not only saved space but also looked beautiful when displayed.
Lin Zhi said excitedly: "Second Aunt, how do I make this wardrobe? Please teach me."
Lin Laosan was also tempted, but he knew that this was Li Yu's idea, and they couldn't shamelessly take it for themselves.
"Second sister-in-law, this is a great idea, but this wardrobe will definitely be expensive. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for Bai to teach it to us?"
Li Yu understood what he meant, but he also knew that this wardrobe method would be of no use to him.
It would be better to give it to those in need. Besides, this was not her own idea, she just copied the ideas of her predecessors.
"It's just a wardrobe, very simple. An expert will figure it out at a glance, so I suggest you make a few while others haven't figured it out yet."
Move two to my shop when the time comes, so I can store your clothes and promote your business."
Even after Li Yu said so, Uncle Lin was still a little hesitant, not knowing whether he should accept it or not.
Seeing his expression, Li Yu finally put forward a condition:
"If you really feel bad, why don't you just help me renovate the store and I won't pay you, how about that?"
"But we don't know how to decorate the house."
Lin Zhi said.
