"Dad, Xiaoxi is only one year old with me. How can she be older?"
Cheng Yue retorted.
In her opinion, Li Xi is only 20 years old this year, which is still a college student in modern times. Her father said that she is going to become an old bachelor.
"Humph! He's not my son anyway, so I'm not worried! Let Da Gen worry about it!"
Cheng Shun said proudly.
After the father and daughter chatted about family matters and had lunch, Li Dagen came over with his eldest son and youngest son.
His five sons were named Haihe, Jianghu and Xi.
The first three are like him, with good skills. The fourth brother Li Hu is not as good but can do it too. Li Xi is not as good as the previous brothers and only knows the basics, but Li Xi is smart.
Li Xi has been traveling all the time, spending most of the year outside.
That is, when Cheng Yue got married this year, he came back and never left.
Li Xi is a man with a good appearance, and is more popular than Shanshui in the surrounding villages.
Of course, it’s not that he is better looking than Shanshui, it’s just that he always has a smiling face and looks more approachable than Shanshui.
But his marriage has not been settled yet, and he has not found anyone he likes so far.
The four of them sat down in the reception room, and Cheng Yue had asked Zi Su to bring the drawings she had drawn before.
The situation that Li Dagen told Li Xi was similar to what Cheng Shun had said. In order to attract more customers, they wanted to open a store, either in the provincial capital or the county town.
"Ayue, let's choose a location for this shop next to the pier. I personally think the best place is right next to the pier in our county. It would be best if it were next to your shop and the Women's Square. That way, when others come to eat or shop, they won't want to stop by and take a look."
Li Xi said.
"But the lease of the shop next to ours hasn't expired yet, so it's going to be hard to find another one. If we buy more land and build it, it's going to take quite a while."
Cheng Yue said.
"No need to buy land to build it, we can just rent a warehouse. I ran into Lord Ji a few days ago and asked him about it. Several warehouses at the dock have expired, and the owners don't plan to renew their leases, so they've all reported to the government office. Let's go directly to the government office and rent them for three to five years. We can also buy a piece of land. Lord Ji's status means he can't stay as the county magistrate forever, so we can just slowly build it up. We sell craftsmanship, so the appearance of this shop naturally can't be the same as ordinary shops. We want to make it more grand."
"Ayue, Uncle Shunzi, I have another plan. After our business here stabilizes, we need to choose another place and open another furniture workshop. Ideally, it would be in the capital or in Jiangnan. Although our furniture is relatively novel and popular, if it's far away, the shipping costs will be huge."
"Uncle Shunzi, Ayue, let me tell you the truth! I just think that Kang Bo is rich now. Even if we open a furniture workshop in Beijing, Kang Bo will be able to protect us. What do you think?"
Li Xi speaks directly and does not beat around the bush to make Cheng Shun and his daughter guess what he means.
He spoke frankly, but Li Dagen on the side felt a little embarrassed.
"Oh, my old face! Shunzi, Ayue, please don't mind it! I told this kid not to mention this, but he insisted. We've just started on the right track here, but he's so careless that he wants to go further. Oh..."
Li Dagen was really embarrassed.
