That morning, Li Erhan called out to Li Lanzhen with a smile, asking her to go and take a look at the carpentry workshop.
When Li Lanzhen saw her father's smug and elated expression, she knew that the batch of furniture she had entrusted to them must have been successfully completed.
And this batch of furniture should be quite decent, of very good quality!
Sure enough, when we went to the woodworking shop and entered the large factory, we saw a row of more than a dozen types of furniture with modern home furnishing styles.
Since Li Erhan's home furnishing workshop became independent this spring.
Li Lanzhen then handed over the furniture manufacturing drawings to Li Erhan and Li Xishui.
Let them build more and leave them there, waiting for the right time to open a furniture store in Youzhou City.
It specializes in selling furniture with unique styles.
“Daughter, your mother said this three-door wardrobe is really good.”
"It's spacious and beautiful, and it holds a lot of things," Li Erhan said to her, gently stroking the wardrobe.
Li Xishui held up a clothes hanger and waved it around, "Sister, this clothes hanger is really useful."
Tonghua brought it to the cafeteria to show everyone, and the sisters-in-law and aunties all liked it, saying it was very convenient.
This way, I don't have to fold the clothes and stack them in the suitcase.
Li Guangyang chuckled, and Li Lanzhen was immediately struck by his dazzlingly white teeth.
Suddenly it occurred to me that it was about time for this guy to get married, so I jokingly said, "What are you grinning about, kid? Look at those big white teeth, did you find a wife? You seem so happy. When should I go to your wedding?"
Li Guangyang was completely bewildered. Wait, his aunt and grandfather were talking about furniture, how did they suddenly turn to him and ask him to get married?
His face immediately turned red, and he chuckled as he turned and ran out.
Li Xishui frowned. "Sister, it's not that you're urging him, we're urging him too. My mother even said she'd introduce him to someone, but he's not willing."
Li Lanzhen, ever the gossip, asked, "Who is Mother planning to introduce him to? Do I know him?"
Li Erhan patted her arm, "Girl, are you silly? You know every girl in Peach Blossom Spring, don't you?"
Li Lanzhen also laughed heartily.
Li Xishui said, "My mother has taken a liking to Lihua. She said that the girl is hardworking, kind, and beautiful."
But when the kid heard that, he shook his head and said no.
Li Lanzhen thought for a moment and nodded, "Father, Xishui, I think he probably already has his eye on some girl."
If he takes a fancy to a girl, let him say so, and we'll settle things as soon as possible.
Li Xishui's expression turned grim. "That's right. He's taken a liking to that girl and is seeing her in private. Isn't that just causing trouble for her?"
"No, I'll go out and check right now."
Li Lanzhen had already pulled him back, saying, "You're so impulsive! You can't handle this matter anymore; I'll go and discuss it with Mother Tonghua."
Li Erhan chuckled, "Yes, yes, listen to your sister, let's take a look at these furniture now."
If your sister says these furniture pieces pass inspection, we'll rush to produce the second batch.
Among this batch of furniture, the three-door wardrobe is quite eye-catching, as is a sofa set.
This sofa set includes a three-seater, a two-seater, and a single-seater.
This five-seater sofa has tiger claw legs, and the back of the sofa has no other decorations, only an arched line.
There are two matching coffee tables, one oval with tiger claw legs, and the other square with a large tabletop.
It's all about personal preference when it comes to matching outfits.
Li Lanzhen examined them one by one, praising, "Dad, Xishui, the furniture you made is really good. The lines are beautiful and smooth, and it has a grand and simple style."
Li Xishui sat on the sofa, touched the seat and back of the sofa with her hand, and looked at Li Lanzhen as she spoke.
"Hey lady, don't you think this sofa is too hard to sit on?"
Li Lanzhen chuckled and said, "Yes, sitting like this is indeed uncomfortable. I've already made matching cushions and pillows for the sofa."
Li Erhan sat beside Li Lanzhen, looking at her with loving eyes.
"My dear daughter, I knew you had a way with things. After this sofa was made, I felt that the seats were too hard and a bit uncomfortable. I didn't expect you to have already solved it."
Li Xishui nodded, "My eldest sister is the kind of person who thinks two steps ahead before taking one. Before making this sofa, she even planned to add cushions and pillows to it."
Turning her head, she seemed to remember something and asked, "Sister, are you opening a furniture store in Youzhou City, selling cushions and pillows there as well?"
"Yes, I have already asked your aunt and uncle to make a batch of sofa cushions, pillows, and plush toys."
These decorative items will also be sold when the furniture store opens.
As Li Lanzhen spoke, she noticed more than 300 small round stools arranged next to her.
These 300-plus small round lamps were made by Li Lanzhen after she told Li Erhan to do so.
These were prizes given to customers on the first day of the furniture store's opening.
Li Lanzhen walked over and picked up a small round stool.
The stool's surface resembles a round moon, and its four legs look just like walking tiger claws.
The entire seat and legs of the stool are polished smooth.
"Dad, this little round stool is so pretty, I love it."
"Honey, if you like them, I'll bring you four when I get home tonight."
"Alright, thank you, Dad."
These small round stools were all made by apprentices in the furniture room as practice.
"Dad, has the jewelry box I asked you to make been finished?"
"No, we made 500 of them according to your request."
Li Lanzhen went over to take a look and found that each one was exquisitely made, palm-sized, with a pull-out lid.
The box was only coated with tung oil, and the wood grain was clearly visible.
Therefore, the patterns on each box are different.
"Big sister, are you going to sell all these boxes?"
"These aren't for sale either. They were given to customers as a reward, along with that little round stool, on the day the furniture store opened, based on the amount of money customers spent on furniture."
This way I can attract a stable customer base and stimulate consumption.
Both Li Erhan and his father nodded; they didn't understand these things.
But they knew that what Li Lanzhen asked them to do wouldn't harm them; they just needed to do it well.
Li Lanzhen was still looking around the furniture factory when she saw Miaomiao running over with Linglong.
"Grandma, Mom and Auntie want you to come over and see if the puppy dolls they made are up to standard?"
Li Lanzhen thought to herself, "What a busy day I've had!"
Li Lanzhen patted their heads with a smile. "You two are back from school?"
Linglong nodded, "Yes, Grandma, let's go! That little dog doll is so beautiful! So cute, it looks so real!"
Grandma, can I have one?
Li Lanzhen patted their heads and said.
"We have everything, whatever you like."
She thought back to when she gave the design to Zhang Yuniang and the others; the adults loved it so much, not to mention the children!
What child can resist the allure of a plush toy?
The three of them came out of the carpentry workshop, and after walking for a while, they heard someone calling her from behind.
Turning her head, she saw Bai Houpu hurrying towards her.
Li Lanzhen looked at his serious expression and wondered what had happened.
"Lanzhen, I just received a letter from Han Minghai from the border."
