"Madam, someone from the shop has sent your custom-made sofa."
Jiang Miao was drawing pictures when Qinglian came in with someone.
When Jiang Miaoteng heard that the sofa was ready, she stood up from the desk.
"Move in quickly."
She asked people to move into the study room, which she and Shen Yanqing shared, but she always felt that the chair was uncomfortable when she read, so she thought of making a sofa and placing it by the window, so she could sit in it and read.
It's convenient.
Shen Laoer is doing very good carpentry work now. Jiang Miao didn't think about looking for outsiders, so she drew the drawings and gave them to Shen Laoer to do.
Sure enough, it lived up to her expectations. The workmanship of this sofa was comparable to modern craftsmanship.
The sofa cover is made of fabric mixed with twine, with springs added for support. It is soft and will not collapse when people sit on it. It is many times more comfortable than a hard chair.
Jiang Miao was very satisfied, Shen Laoer's work was better than she expected.
She lay on the sofa and asked Qinglian to bring over a pot of tea and a plate of snacks. She then sat on it with her script book and started reading.
A sip of snacks and a sip of tea, and after we finished eating, the maid came to join us. Not to mention how beautiful it was.
Xu Zilan and Zhao Mingzhen saw her comfortable appearance as soon as they entered the door, and a touch of envy appeared in their eyes at the same time.
Especially when Zhao Mingzhen saw new objects, she started to yell, "Miaoya, where did your chair come from? Why have I never seen it before?"
"There are so many things you haven't seen before, but Mia Ya still has few new things?"
Xu Zilan answered. She sat next to Jiang Miao, feeling the comfort of the sofa under her body. She couldn't help but press down with her palms. It was very soft and elastic.
Jiang Miao was very happy to see them coming. She quickly sat up straight and asked Zhao Mingzhen to sit down. She poured a glass of water for the two of them and then said.
"This is a sofa. It's more comfortable than a chair. It's most comfortable to sit in it and read a book."
"Sofa? What a strange name."
Zhao Mingzhen muttered, but it was indeed comfortable to sit on. She was lazy and could sit rather than stand on weekdays. This sofa suited her liking.
"Where did you make it? I'll make one too. Does Zilan want it too?"
She also didn't forget to hook up with Xu Zilan. Naturally, all good sisters should have such a good thing.
Xu Zilan nodded, "Indeed, if there is a place to do it, I will do two of them. My mother likes to do embroidery, and it is more comfortable to sit on the sofa."
"This is a drawing I drew myself and asked my second brother to make. If Sister Lan and Mingzhen want it, I'll ask him."
Jiang Miao didn't expect that the sofa she made at random would win the hearts of the two little sisters. However, both Xu Zilan and Zhao Mingzhen liked it. The market for the sofa was obvious, and Jiang Miao's business was booming again.
This was a good opportunity to make money, and she couldn't let it pass.
"Okay, then we are waiting for your good news."
The three of them played for a long time. Although they just sat on the sofa, read a book and ate snacks, the three of them were very happy, and the sofa was so comfortable that they didn't even want to get up. When they left, Zhao Mingzhen was still reluctant to leave, grabbing Jiang Miao's hand.
His hands kept giving instructions.
"Miaoya, you must make your second brother agree. My sofa depends on you."
"And mine."
"Okay, just wait for the good news."
After seeing the two of them off, Jiang Miao changed her clothes and went to Shen's house.
Now the Shen family has also bought a few servants. Since the big and second bedrooms have to be worked, and the family has no time to clean up, Mrs. Zhang bought a few servants with a wave of her hand.
She has been a country woman for half her life, and this is the first time she has been served by someone. Although Mrs. Zhang feels uncomfortable, she insists on being an old lady and will never embarrass her son or let a maid crawl on her.
On top of her head, the Shen family was managed properly by her.
The family had just finished eating when Jiang Miao came over. Mrs. Zhang happily took her to the table and asked the maid to add a pair of bowls and chopsticks.
"Why didn't the third child follow?"
"My husband hasn't posted his duty yet. I've asked someone to leave a message for him. He will be here shortly."
Jiang Miao was anxious to discuss business matters with Shen Laoer, so she rushed to the meal.
Mrs. Zhang had no shortage of food for the two of them, so she ordered the cook to cook a few more dishes that Jiang Miao and Shen Yanqing liked.
"Second brother, I'm here to discuss the sofa with you."
"What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Shen Laoer was suddenly called and felt nervous. It was his first time to make that sofa, especially the delicate items like springs, which he made while staring at the blacksmith shop. He also spent a lot of thought on other fabrics and fillings.
.
Shen Laoer was very satisfied with the sofa he made, but since the customer was Jiang Miao, he was naturally more interested in it.
Jiang Miao saw that he had misunderstood and quickly explained.
"No, the second brother did a good job. Sister Lan and Mingzhen liked it very much when they saw it today. They want to ask the second brother to order it."
It turned out that I was going to introduce business to him. Shen Laoer felt relaxed and his face showed joy.
"Okay, I'm pretty good at making this sofa. They want it to be ready in a few days."
He used to run a carpentry shop and sell some small items. Shen Laoer hired two apprentices and let them do the work of making small toys. He happened to have some free time to make sofas.
Jiang Miao nodded and expressed her thoughts.
"I know that my second brother's craftsmanship is good. The sofa is comfortable to sit on and looks good. If I sell it, it will definitely be very popular. And I not only have the drawings of the sofa, but also the drawings of other furniture. I came here today just to ask.
Ask my second brother if he has any idea of opening a furniture store."
Jiang Miao likes to enjoy herself. If she could do it, she would definitely decorate a new house with sofas and modern cabinets.
"Furniture shop?"
Shen Laoer thought about it and realized that it was not impossible. He still recognized his craftsmanship, and with Jiang Miao's drawings, he would definitely not have to worry about selling the things he made.
Mrs. Xu was listening, knowing that Jiang Miao, the God of Wealth, was giving them money again. Seeing that Shen Laoer was still hesitant, she twisted his thigh.
"I think Miao Ya's idea is good. You have two apprentices to help you with the toy business. If you have more free time, you might as well make furniture."
"Well, it's just that I can't do it alone..."
After all, the furniture is all big pieces, and it takes several days to make a sofa. If he really opens a shop, he is afraid that he will be disliked by customers if he is slow.
Mrs. Xu rolled her eyes at him, "If you can't do it, just hire more people. We don't need to do it ourselves now that we have money. You can just find servants to do the work and be the shopkeeper yourself."
Xu was always lazy, but now this idea coincided with Jiang Miao's, and she nodded appreciatively.
"What the second sister-in-law said is that the second brother doesn't have to do everything by himself. And if you are really too busy, just set up a pre-order and make a fixed number of items a month. This way you can make money and not be too tired."
Just like her Yuhua Building, it is of higher quality precisely because it is rare. Shen Laoer thought this was true.
