Master Yang is one of the top carpenters in Taoyuan County. His house is very large. He and his daughter live in four rooms, and the rest are used for him and his apprentices to do woodwork.
Many apprentices have already graduated, but as long as Master Yang says the word, they will all come back to work. Anyway, the wages are the same no matter where they work. And they might even be able to learn more from their master!
As a result, the Yang family's business has now turned into a small workshop.
Cai Xiaolian designed several furniture styles that combined ancient and modern elements. Master Yang approved them and said they would definitely sell well. Now, the room in the Yang family's house used to store timber is full of furniture that has already been painted and dried.
In late February, a Yang family furniture store opened in Zhoujia Town.
The three shops were combined and filled with all sorts of furniture, including sofas, beds, folding tables and chairs, multi-functional desks, and various wall cabinets.
Yang Xiaohuan, dressed smartly, stood at the counter, while Master Yang's grand-apprentice acted as the waiter, introducing her to everyone.
On the first day of business, Cai Xiaolian, as a partner, still had to come and take a look.
"Second sister-in-law, come and take a look! We've already got sixteen orders this morning!" Yang Xiaohuan excitedly called out to Cai Xiaolian.
“There will definitely be more later. I see the customers in the shop are quite interested! Your father’s apprentices didn’t learn the craft, but they understand the principles very well, and they explain it very clearly!” Cai Xiaolian praised.
The furniture store they discussed on New Year's Eve opened after nearly two months of effort.
This is also thanks to Master Yang having many apprentices, and his apprentices having many apprentices. As a result, there are many craftsmen, making it easier to produce prototypes.
Their business model is that customers select samples in the store, and the goods are delivered within half a month to a month, and some require two months to deliver.
"Second Sister-in-law, you mentioned before that you wanted to hire professional delivery workers, and I even gave you a few pointers! I didn't expect you to be completely right. With business so good, we can't possibly deliver the goods ourselves; we'd probably be overwhelmed with orders." Yang Xiaohuan was glad she listened to Cai Xiaolian; otherwise, they would have had to deliver the goods themselves.
“We’ll grow bigger and bigger in the future,” Cai Xiaolian said with a smile.
"I believe in your second sister-in-law!" Yang Xiaohuan said firmly.
...
Around noon, several of the Gu sisters arrived.
"Mother (Second Aunt), Aunt Xiao Huan!" The sisters greeted people at the counter as they came in.
"How is it? Did you see Yingying that you guys were talking about? Is she pretty?" Cai Xiaolian asked with a smile.
"It's alright!" Gu Hui said.
"Your skin is so fair! Mom, eating tofu and drinking soy milk regularly makes your skin so good!" Gu Nian said.
"But she's not as gentle as my brother said. She's fierce, and she can even argue back with the old lady who's trying to take advantage of me. The key is that she won the argument!" Gu Sixin said with lingering fear. Luckily, she's only less than two years younger than her brother. Her brother is getting married, so she should get married too. Otherwise, such a fierce sister-in-law would be terrifying!
“Yes, Enzi is the same type of person as Grandpa.” Gu Xin nodded.
"Why?" Everyone looked at Gu Xin in confusion.
“My uncle said that Grandpa only sees the good things about Grandma. In Grandpa’s heart, Grandma is good in every way, and there is nothing bad about her. Enzi is like that,” Gu Xin explained.
Cai Xiaolian and her three sisters were used to it, and Gu Xin often quoted their uncle's sayings.
"Hey, Mom, isn't that Meng Meng over there!" Suddenly, Gu Nian saw a group of people outside the shop, one of whom was Meng Meng.
