If you want to prevent moth and waterproof, you must brush a layer of tung oil on the wood or apply a layer of wax.

Wen Xian originally had a good idea. She wanted to make the wooden floor look decent so that it could match her mansion.

But whether it is tung oil or wax, it is not that easy to find.

It's also her fault that she didn't think of this beforehand. If she had thought of it earlier, she could have bought some from outside the island.

Looking at the bright wardrobe, tables, chairs, dressing table and bed in the room that had been painted with tung oil, Wen Xian sighed again.

Carpenter Xue has tung oil, but not much. Of course, it would be fine to use it to finish mopping her wooden floors.

But after the house was completed, Carpenter Xue went to make wardrobes for the guards' dormitories.

And he refused to use the tung oil to wash Wen Xian's floor. It's too wasteful. Rather than bothering with wooden floors, it would be more practical to lay green bricks.

In Xue Carpenter's opinion, laying green bricks is extremely wasteful.

But who could let Dr. Wen know how to bake green bricks? He could only use them as much as he wanted, and he could only envy him.

Fortunately, Wen Zhan left a lot of things for Wen Xian before he left. Among them, there is carpet. Moreover, it is an all-wool, snow-white carpet.

After laying the wool carpet, Wen Xian expressed her satisfaction and immediately started to mess with the sofa.

In the whole house, only her room was paved with wooden floors, and the rest was paved with blue bricks. Therefore, she is the only one who has this trouble.

Others did not lay carpets but placed charcoal pots in the house. If it gets too cold, burn charcoal to keep warm.

……

After moving, while it was still snowing, Wen Xian started messing with the sofa.

Carpenter Xue and the temporary apprentice he brought were both men, and they had enough manpower, so Xue Xiaohua stopped following him to help.

With nothing to do, Wen Xian called Xue Xiaohua to come over to the yard to help.

What she wants to make is a solid wood sofa. After it is finished, she can just add a layer of soft cushions on top.

"Isn't that a soft couch?" Xue Xiaohua scratched her head and said, "I saw it at Mr. Zhu Si's place. Does Sister Wen want to make a soft couch?"

She has seen this before, and there is no problem in making it.

However, Wen Xian shook her head and said: "It's like a soft couch, but not exactly a soft couch. The sofa I want to make is longer than a soft couch and narrower than it. The most important thing is to add armrests on both sides and a backrest on the back. .”

There was nothing on the soft couch, just like an empty coffee table. It's like a smaller version of the bed, not very interesting.

Xue Xiaohua stared and said, "Can it still be like this?"

She has never made anything like that, but if Sister Wen insists on doing it, it's not impossible.

Wen Xian nodded and said: "Of course, after it is done, add soft cushions, so you can sit, lean on or lie down on it."

She directly drew a drawing for Xue Xiaohua and asked her to follow the drawing.

After that, they started making sofas. As for the soft cushions, they were left to the ingenious Zhou Hui.

The soft cushions should be made of cotton and wool to ensure that you can stay comfortable and warm all winter long.

Since she has the conditions, she will definitely not treat herself badly.

Such a generous move made Xue Xiaohua very envious. But she was just envious and had no other special thoughts.

By the time the sofa was finished, it was just in time for the first snow of this winter.

Jiang Jingwan and others all gathered in Wen Xian's room, taking turns to experience the charm of the sofa that made Wen Xian make such a big move. But after such an experience, no one wants to get up again.

Jiang Jingwan couldn't help but sigh: "You will still enjoy it. This is perfect for resting and playing in winter."

For example, on a snowy day like today, it's too cold to go out, and you can't stay in bed all the time.

With this sofa, it is actually no different from staying in bed, but it is much better than staying in bed.

Wen Xian raised her eyebrows and said: "Of course, otherwise I wouldn't spend a lot of money to do it. What do you think? Do you want to make one? It can be big or small. I have an eight-seater, and I can also make one or two." Human position.”

If Jiang Jingwan lived in later generations, she would definitely know that there is a word called lying flat.

She made a large U-shaped sofa, which was said to seat eight people, but in fact all of them, including Mrs. Qin, her son, and Xue Xiaohua, could squeeze into it.

But Mrs. Qin has always observed etiquette, placed herself in the position of a servant, and never participated in such occasions.

Hearing Wen Xian's words, Jiang Jingwan was eager to give it a try: "Then Xiaohua, please make one for me too. It doesn't have to be too big, just two people."

Just for her and the first grader, the two seats can accommodate two adults and one child, which is completely sufficient.

Before Xue Xiaohua agreed, others followed suit and said they would do it. However, they are only for one person, not two persons.

Moreover, they were very wealthy. Each of them gave Xue Xiaohua a tael of silver as money for the sofa.

Xue Xiaohua opened her mouth, and after finally finding her voice, she quickly said: "Sisters, I can't afford so much silver. It's too much, and even one tael is too much."

In the past, in Sun Island, their charges were not expensive. Moreover, it is only that much money after adding the cost of wood.

But here, she only excelled at craftsmanship, and the wood was already prepared by the island's guardian brothers.

She really can't do it if she is asked to charge one or two cents for a sofa now.

"It's okay, I'll keep the extra ones with you first," Hu Ke'er said, "I'll definitely add some things later, Xiaohua, just take them from here."

She, the great housekeeper, would be of little use when she returned to Life Island. They couldn't get involved in the business of Wen Xian's brother and sister, let alone share it.

Therefore, after obtaining Wen Xian's consent, Hu Keer divided all the money he had earned previously.

Including the money Wen Xian shared from selling recipes, each of them shared nearly two hundred taels.

With money in hand, their hands began to loosen up. One tael of silver is nothing in their eyes.

"Ah? This..." Xue Xiaohua scratched her head and said, "Well, when I go back, I will return whatever is left to you sisters."

"Go back? Where to go?" Zheng Rou said angrily, "How about you discuss it with your father and live on the island with us."

Xue Xiaohua was almost regarded as half a disciple by the madam's brother. If you don't seize the opportunity to stay here, when will you wait?

Moreover, judging from Xue Carpenter's attitude towards apprenticeship, he would definitely want to stay on the island.

However, Xue Xiaohua widened her eyes and said, "But my home is on Sun Island, and we have no land here."

To build a house, you must first have land. Originally, the village chief uncle on Sun Island allocated land to them, but there is no village chief on Life Island, so how can they be allocated land.

"Pfft~" Zheng Rou chuckled, "You have to ask your sister Wen about this."

This kid is so busy talking, why doesn't he understand?

She shook her head helplessly. She could only help here.

As for whether Xue Xiaohua can turn the corner and quickly seek help from his wife, it all depends on her own understanding.
