First Empress Merchant

Chapter 205 Building a house (2)
When they arrived at the material market, Lu Lishi and Lu Su's family bought the things they needed, and they also gave a deposit for the boy to help deliver the goods. Then Lu Lishi thought that the house had to be bought after the house was built, so she pulled Lu Su's house again. I went to the furniture market in the next street, but after seeing a few of them, I felt that the style was generally not mentioned, and the price was extremely outrageous. As soon as I rolled my eyes, I decided to design the style myself and let the master carpenter do it, so the two went to the wood market again.

"Miss, look at the nanmu in this house, both in terms of price and quality, it seems to be more solid than that of other houses, and nanmu can prevent insects and moths, why don't we just buy nanmu for furniture?" Lu Su's family took it well After looking at the samples of a few pieces of firewood, I finally felt that Nanmu had the highest trust-price ratio.

Lu Lishi took the board and put it back directly, "We have a lot of nanmu in our villa, why come here to buy it?"

"Really? That's great, we can..." Lu Su's family is straight-tempered. Hearing this, he was determined to buy nanmu, but before he could say anything to show that he could save money, he was interrupted by Lu Lishi.

Lu Lishi smiled, "Listen to me first, yes, nanmu is insect-proof and moth-proof, and it is also cheap, but nanmu is not strong enough, we are making furniture, what is the use of light and cheap? I see that this mahogany is good , strong and beautiful, and the price is reasonable.”

The little friend who greeted them thought they didn't want them anymore, and was a little impatient, but after hearing these words, he immediately flattered him and said: "This lady is from a rich family at first glance, and her knowledge is extraordinary. I just heard that the two of you want to make furniture, right? If you want to make furniture, you can never go wrong with mahogany. Although the price is a bit high, there is a reason why it is expensive, right? You are all talkative people. In this way, If you want more, the younger ones will go talk to our shopkeeper, if there is a discount, I will definitely give you a discount?"

Lu Su's family still felt sorry for Yinzi, and quickly pulled Lu Lishi aside before she could answer, and then whispered: "Miss, I still think Nanmu is better. That's it."

Lu Lishi laughed again, "Aunt Lu, it's not a matter of ostentation or ostentation. If you think about it this way, it's fine for you to have a small dressing box, a wardrobe or something, and a bigger one, such as a bed frame, a table, chairs and benches. Yes, it will definitely break after a few years, and if it breaks, you have to make a new one, and it will cost a fortune, isn't it more expensive than buying mahogany directly?"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Su's family thought about the same reason, but they were still a little hesitant, so they picked up the samples of mahogany and nanmu again to look back.

Lu Lishi smiled lightly and shook her head, without waiting for her to make a final decision, she said directly to the boy, "Boy, we need to make four beds, ten large cabinets, one dressing table, three desks, and three masters." Chairs, a dining table, and ten long round stools together, you quickly add up, and report the number as much as you need, we will buy mahogany ones, and buy them all at your home. The goods must be of good quality, but don’t just find me some rotten wood that has been eaten by moths, and don’t count too much, if you find a lot more after the furniture is finished, I will return it all to you.”

Seeing that the business was completed, the little guy was overjoyed, "Oh, what did the lady say? It's not a small self-promotion. Our firewood business is a time-honored brand. You can ask anywhere, it is absolutely innocent. , Seeing that you are a straightforward person, I will go to the shopkeeper, if it is cheap, I will definitely give you a cheap price!"

Lu Lishi said again: "Wait for a while, let me ask you, do you have agarwood in your home?"

The young man was surprised when he heard the words, so he took another look at Lu Lishi, and he seemed a little uncertain, so he asked tentatively: "Miss, are you talking about agarwood?"

Lu Lishi shook her head, "It's either agarwood or agarwood. If there is any, I'll take it out and have a look. If the price is right, I'll buy two pieces back together."

"This lady is indeed from a famous family! Wait for a moment, and I will ask the shopkeeper to come out and talk to you immediately." Whether you really understand or pretend to understand, you can tell in a few words. After all, the young man is doing this business. After many years, it is natural to understand it as soon as you hear it, and the tone of speech has become much more respectful.

Lu Lishi nodded with a smile, and stopped talking, and continued to look at those models.

After the young man walked into the inner hall, Lu Su's family pulled Lu Lishi and said, "Miss, what is the difference between agarwood and agarwood? Are they not the same thing?"

Lu Lishi replied: "Yes and no, although the two grow from the same root, the agarwood tree is just an ordinary daphne tree before it turns into oil, but after it turns into oil, the oil part is called agarwood, and there is no oil. The woody part that is oiled is called agarwood, and because of this, people who don’t know how to buy it can easily spend a lot of money on agarwood that is actually agarwood, and the prices of the two are very different.”

Lu Su's family nodded half-understanding, "So, if you don't understand it, you really can't buy it randomly. This agarwood is very expensive, right? Why are you buying this?"

Lu Lishi replied selectively: "There are many unscrupulous traders in this world. It is true that you can't buy them casually. The reason why you want to buy this is that Xin'er and Li Yi are going to marry each other soon. I don't know what to give as a congratulatory gift. Taking advantage of the presence of powerful carpenters, I plan to ask them to help make two jewelry boxes, of course, you have to hide it from them for me about these two jewelry boxes."

How expensive is agarwood?Let's put it this way, an ordinary agarwood bracelet is not as expensive as a good golden nanmu, but an ordinary agarwood bracelet is definitely worth the mahogany logs she just asked for to make furniture. Build several clothes racks, washbasin racks, dressing tables and so on.Hey, when it comes to this, she really misses the Bodhisattva Shen bracelet given by a senior brother in her previous life.

Lu Su's family was stunned, "It turns out that this is the case. Hey, the lady has exhausted her thoughts on Xin'er and Mr. Li. Fortunately, they are also loyal to the lady, and it is not in vain for you to treat them like this. Don't worry, when the things are delivered I'll talk to them again."

Without waiting for Lu Lishi to answer, the shopkeeper of the timber shop hurried out after hearing the boy's words, with two cups of good tea in his hand at the same time, "Madam, please sit down quickly, the little old man was just inside." Tang is busy, please forgive me for neglecting, there is no good tea in the store, this is Longjing from Liyuan Villa, please use it as you please."

When Lu Lishi heard that the tea was from her own family, it was not surprising that it was fake. After taking a look at Lu Su's family, she said, "Liyuan Villa? But that newly opened villa in the north of the city? Their tea...is there anything special about it?" place?"

The shopkeeper smiled and replied: "Hey, you two are unfamiliar, are you from a foreign country? Speaking of the owner and the young owner of the villa, that is really amazing. In fact, those two are the same as you. They are all from other places, but they are very powerful. Not to mention that they are so rich that they can buy a mountain. That master Lu himself has the ability to make the original tea mountain so beautiful. Shopkeeper Liu from the old rouge shop next door has been there, and said that the Zhuangzi is very beautiful, and the products produced there are unheard of in the world. Not only that, but I heard that Miss Lu is not only a fairy beauty, but also poetry and songs. So proficient, it seems that she can also be very powerful in martial arts. No, because the Zhuangzi received the distinguished guests from Woyira, he was adopted as a righteous daughter by that Woyira Khan. Tsk tsk, she is really a wonderful woman who honored her ancestors Ah! And this tea, you don’t know, that mountain is the tea garden mountain of His Royal Highness Yang. After it was bought by Master Lu, and I don’t know what magical powers Master Lu used, the tea is much better than before. At least, the two of you can also go to check and listen. As for the tea shop opened by their family, the daily business is so good that we, who also rely on business for a living, are envious! What's more exaggerated is that after his The tea sold and resold by the tea shop is really more than ten times more expensive than the original price, but even so, there are still people willing to buy it, so this tea has become an absolute sought-after item until now, and I am not afraid of your two jokes. It is definitely a matter of face to be able to serve guests with tea from Liyuan Villa."
