After time travel, I became the first richest woman in Lizhao

Chapter 77 Making a Sofa
"This is just the first volume. There will be a second and a third volume, and there will probably be ten volumes in the future. And not just this book, there will be other books in the future. You think about it."

Wu Jianshen flipped through it again, and said, "Is that true? I want to go to our bookstore to investigate first."

Seeing his disbelief, Zhao Linger said: "Go to Qingya Xiaozhu Bookstore near Wenda Academy from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] am tomorrow. There are many dentists who come to buy goods every morning."

After bidding farewell to Wu Jianshen, Zhao Linger stopped by the Yingbin Building again.

Unexpectedly, the elder brother had transformed the innermost room on the first floor of the Yingbin building into a kang, and if he didn't go back at night, he would sleep there.

Su Yixiang listened to Zhao Linger's thoughts, and said: "No problem. But I have to pay the shop assistants some labor fees."

Zhao Linger said: "Of course. I'll go to Bai Yingxi to discuss it."

So the two parties agreed: Whenever a guest comes to ask, the front desk guy will take him to the room to feel it.If the contract is successfully signed, a deposit of 25 liters will be paid first, and this deposit will be regarded as the commission of Yingbin Building.Then the remaining 500 Wen will be handed over to Ah Xin after they finish the work.

After dealing with these trivial matters, Zhao Linger returned home and sat down on a chair.

"Oh, this chair is too hard. It would be great if there was a sofa." Zhao Ling'er beat herself on the back, really uncomfortable.

Just do it.

"Ah Cai, go find some cotton and cloth, as well as needles and threads."

"How much does the young mistress need?"

Zhao Linger said: "The more the better."

Zhao Linger wrapped a thick layer of cotton on the chair she often sat on, and wrapped it with cloth.

She sat on it and tried it, well, it was much more comfortable than before, but it still felt a little uncomfortable.

She thought back to the sofa set in her home, which was much softer than this.

Zhao Linger drew a sketch in the shape of the sofa at home, and asked Ah Xin to send it to the carpenter to make such a chair.

Ah Xin glanced at the sketch, and asked suspiciously: "Young Mistress, what is this you drew? Why can't I understand it. The chair is not like a chair, and the bed is not like a bed. This person is too big to sit on!"

Zhao Linger smiled and said, "You'll know when it's done. By the way, buy more cotton and fabric when you come back."

In the afternoon of the next day, the carpenter sent someone to deliver the things Zhao Linger ordered to the house.

Zhao Linger hurriedly called Ah Ke and Ah Zhen to come out.

She asked Ah Ke to sew a mattress as big as the chair, Zhao Linger sat on it and said, "No, it's not soft enough, add another layer."

Ah Zhen sewed another one.

Zhao Ling'er lay down, feeling a bit worse.

"Add another layer."

Zhao Ling'er lay on it and felt it, well, it seems to be almost done.

"Wrap the two sides and the backrest with cotton. Wrap some more cotton. The thickness is only one layer thinner than the thickness of the chair surface. By the way, sew a new pillow."

"This thing is so luxurious!" Ah Zhen said to himself.

"By the way, sew a new pillow." Zhao Linger added.

After finishing everything, Zhao Linger looked at the new sofa happily.

"Carry it to the young master's study."

Su Yi Ning was reciting a book when he saw this thing, he was startled and asked, "What is this thing?"

Zhao Linger said: "Come and sit down and try."

Su Yi Ning sat on the sofa and felt it: "Well, it's quite soft."

"Lie down and try again."

Su Yi Ning lay down: "Well, yes, I can sleep with another quilt."

"Haha, this is a sofa that can both sit on and lie on. In the future, when you want to sleep at noon, you don't have to go to bed, you can just sleep here."

"Well, comfortable, comfortable. Hey, you can make another long chair like this and send it to Dad's calligraphy. It's best to make another one for brother."

"Don't worry, I know!" Zhao Linger went to Master Su's study and Su Yixiang's study to measure the size, and ordered two sets of wooden frames from the carpenter.

"Ah Zhen, go and buy more cotton and cloth, now we need to use more cotton and cloth."

The next day, Master Su came home and saw the strange long chair in the study, and guessed that it was made by the second daughter-in-law.

"Go and invite the Second Young Mistress over here."

Hearing that the master told her to go over, Zhao Ling'er happily followed.

It must be that couch that works so well, he wants me to make another batch for a friend.

When he came to the master's study, Mr. Su said, "You made this long chair, right?"

Zhao Linger said: "Yes, Daddy, is this long chair comfortable to sit on?"

Master Su didn't reply, and asked, "Is there a lot of cotton stuffed in this chair?"

Zhao Linger nodded and said: "This kind of chair needs to be filled with a lot of cotton to be comfortable, otherwise it will be crushed quickly, and it will be hard to sit on."

Mr. Su said: "We are comfortable, but there are still many poor people in our state who can't even wear cotton padded jackets! Today, some officials reported to the governor that a dead body was found on the side of the road. A piece of paper clothes, obviously died of freezing. Although our family income is not bad, we still need to spend moderately, we can't just think about enjoying ourselves!"

Zhao Linger blushed, nodded and said, "Yes. I won't spend money recklessly in the future."

Zhao Linger went back to her room and took out all her savings. Except for the jewelry, quilts, and furniture that Su Yining gave her before the wedding, she still had 856 taels in her own savings. Thinking about last month, there were more than 1600 taels. I spent 800 taels of silver in a month, and I really don't want to leave.

Zhao Ling'er called Ah Zhen in and said, "How much is a catty if you go to buy cotton today?"

"Back to Young Mistress, the cotton was bought at Yunhetang, two taels of silver per catty."

"Two taels?" Zhao Linger asked in surprise, "Is it so expensive?"

Ah Zhen nodded, and said: "Our Yunzhou does not produce cotton, obedient cotton is shipped from the south, especially in winter, cotton is even more expensive."

"How many catties of cotton did you buy today?"

"A total of 30 catties."

"30 catties...that's 60 taels," Zhao Ling'er said to herself, "My God, is cotton so expensive?"

No wonder even Master Su felt distressed.

Lying on the bed, Zhao Linger recalled the bowl of hot pepper soup she drank in the shed when she first came to Lichao and the ruined temple where she slept that night.

She really doesn't want to experience that feeling again!
Selling hot and spicy soup, selling buffets, doing auctions, setting up advertising boards, burning kangs, making sofas... She seems to have tossed about a lot of things, but none of them lasted for a long time.

She considered herself fairly quick-witted, but it was a fact that she was impatient.

What to do from now on?
You can't do things on impulse without thinking, and you have to pick one thing to do in the long run and make it bigger and stronger!
