Qian Mao found a few helpers and together they lifted the wood onto the ox cart, including some small broken pieces. Lin Wanwan was very satisfied with this.
After walking a few streets, they arrived at her shop. Lin Wanwan opened the door and asked them to carry it into the lobby.
Qian Mao looked around and said to Lin Wanwan, "I wonder what the girl is going to do here?"
"I usually sell some food, but now it's a good opportunity to go to your place to make tables and chairs. You even bought all the wood for me. If I go to your place to make something again, you have to give me a lower price!"
"Girl, you have helped me a lot. Don't worry, I will give you the lowest price when you buy tables, chairs and furniture from me!"
"Thank you very much, Shopkeeper Qian! My last name is Lin, which means "Wan". Shopkeeper Qian can just call me Lin Wan."
"Okay, Miss Lin Wan, what are your requirements for the tables and chairs?"
Lin Wanwan measured the space in the lobby and said to him, "I want to make five sturdy and durable tables and chairs, and thirty chairs. The two tables and chairs introduced today will be just right for the two private rooms on the second floor. How much will it cost?"
"I imported some elm wood from the north last year and haven't used it up yet. It's just right for making tables and chairs, and the price is cheap. How about this, including the two more expensive ones, a total of twelve taels of silver, which is already the lowest price for you."
Lin Wanwan roughly calculated it and felt that it was acceptable, so she nodded in agreement, took out the two hundred taels of silver from her bosom and handed it to him, and gave him another five taels as a deposit.
"Manager Qian, you have to help me fight well. We don't ask for fancy moves, just solid and majestic. We don't want anything fancy."
"Okay, Miss Lin Wan, leave it to me. I will make sure you are satisfied with the result. We have settled the payment for this batch of wood, and the tables and chairs will be delivered in ten days."
"Okay, then I'll trouble Shopkeeper Qian!"
"Okay, if there's nothing else, we'll take our leave first!"
Lin Wanwan sent Qian Mao and the others to the door, came back, closed the door, and then put all the wood into the space. She didn't have time to deal with the wood at the moment, so she would do it after she was done with this busy period.
After walking out of the shop and locking the door, he went to Zhao's blacksmith shop again. When Zhao Dachui saw Lin Wanwan coming, he immediately took her to see the prepared griddle.
Lin Wanya checked it carefully morning and night and found that it could be disassembled. There was a separate large iron stove underneath, which could not only hold a griddle, but also a large iron pot. It was very convenient.
"Girl, do you think I made it right? Is it the way you want it? And there's this deeper iron pot."
The deeper iron pots are also made very well, so that the stewed food can be heated directly on the iron stove every day and the aroma can be released.
"Shopkeeper Zhao, you did a great job. How much is it in total?"
He took out a piece of wood with some weird scribbles on it, which probably only he could understand.
"Miss, these two are six taels and seven cents in total. You gave me five taels last time, and two taels and six cents are the deposit. Since you bought a lot, I'll save you the change, so just give me four taels of silver."
"Okay, thank you, Shopkeeper Zhao. Here, I'd also like to trouble Shopkeeper Zhao to help me deliver it to the outside of the county."
Zhao Dachui took the silver and called his son. The two of them put the things on the ox cart and drove out of the city.
After seeing Uncle Youcai’s ox cart, I moved all the things onto his cart and then said goodbye to Lin Wanwan.
Along the way, Li Yuying kept studying how to use the griddle. Lin Wanwan told her how to use it and what kind of food it could be used to cook. She couldn't wait to try it.
Uncle Youcai was still the same as always, helping them to send the things home. They met many villagers on the way, and they probably heard the news that Lin Qiuyue and Wang Guilan had spread about Lin Wanwan's earning money, so they all came up to see what was going on.
"Hey, Wanwan, what good things have you done to make money? Show us~"
The woman next to him said with a fake smile: "Ye Zi's mother, how can I show you the good things I made? What if you learn it and try it?"
"That's right, you can earn a lot of money every day, right? I heard from Qiuyue and Guilan that if they do some work for you every day, you can earn thirty cents a day! If you still have work to do, don't forget your sisters-in-law!"
Lin Wanwan smiled and said, "If there is still work to do in the future, I will definitely not forget my sisters-in-law. I hope my sisters-in-law will not complain about the amount of work and the little pay."
"Definitely not!"
"That's it, that's it!"
When they arrived at the door of the house, they saw Lin Qiuyue and her partner sitting at the door waiting. When they saw Lin Wanwan coming back, they helped her get her things.
This big iron furnace is so heavy that she and Sister Yuying took a lot of effort to move it down. It can be seen that Mr. Zhao, the owner of the blacksmith shop, uses very solid materials.
Lin Wanwan went back to the house, took out a large wooden basin, put two sets of pig offal in it, and handed them to Qiuyue and Guifen, saying, "When I came back just now, many sisters-in-law surrounded me and asked me if I needed anyone. Those who didn't know would think I made a lot of money."
Lin Qiuyue understood the meaning behind her words and quickly explained, "Well, I went home last night and told my mother-in-law about it. Who knew she would turn around and tell others, 'Wan girl, you don't have to pay attention to them. They will definitely be jealous of you when they see you make money!'"
"Alas, the cost of my food is too high. I don't make much money from each trip. I hope my sisters-in-law can explain more to Wanwan in the future."
"Of course, of course. Girl, we went to wash first that night. Don't worry, we will definitely wash it thoroughly today as well."
"Okay, I'll leave it to the sisters-in-law."
Lin Wanwan washed the griddle and the pot several times, lit the fire, put the meat in the pot, and then quickly kneaded the dough and waited for the dough to ferment.
When the dough has fermented to twice its size, take it out, divide it into small pieces, knead it, shape it into a tongue shape, roll it up quickly, and then roll it into a pancake, put it in the pan and fry it. Bake until both sides are golden brown and set aside.
"Sister-in-law, look, isn't this cake quite simple?"
