They've all separated, so what does it matter to me if they get poorer and poorer?

Chapter 30 These furniture styles are really nice.

Xu Zhichun was both amused and exasperated: "But—"

"Is that all? Does that mean you can't help me with other things in the future?"

If Xu Zhichun were to refuse again, it would seem pretentious. "Alright then, thank you very much."

"You are welcome."

Xu Zhichun took his own large bowl and poured out the peanuts and pig's feet. He told Aunt Zhu'er to wait a moment, then quickly added brown sugar water, stir-fried and thickened the sauce. He served Aunt Zhu'er a small bowl of braised pork, saying, "I made this with pork belly that I bought yesterday. It should taste pretty good. Take it back and try it."

Looking at the bright red, glistening, and juicy little cubes of braised pork, steaming hot and incredibly fragrant, Aunt Zhu couldn't help but swallow hard and smile, "It's delicious! It smells so good, I'm going back to eat too!"

"Take care, Auntie."

Xu Zhichun and Liang Mingxuan, uncle and sister-in-law, also set up a table for dinner.

Braised pork belly, peanuts and pig's feet, served with lightly stir-fried bok choy sprouts, and a large bowl of snow-white, glistening rice for each person.

After the meal, Xu Zhichun busied himself making konjac tofu and konjac knots, with Liang Mingxuan helping out.

The child was steady and meticulous. Xu Zhichun instructed him to do everything quickly, well, and perfectly, even better than Xu Zhichun had imagined.

Xu Zhichun was proud and honored. Not to brag, but her child was truly remarkable. Not only did he excel in his studies, but he was also outstanding in his work.

Indeed, capable people have good brains; they can learn by analogy, draw inferences from one instance to another, and understand one thing and everything else. They are better than others at everything they do, and you can't envy them.

The next morning, Xu Zhichun got up early again to make ice jelly.

This task was much easier in comparison. Xu Zhichun only used a little over a pound of Shihua seeds to make the ice jelly, and the rest was made by brewing the jelly powder he found in the harbor warehouse.

Liang Mingxuan also got up and helped with the work.

Around that time, Zeng Xiaoyan and her husband, Aunt Zhu'er, and Uncle Qitian all arrived.

Last night, after hearing from his wife about how much money she had made, Uncle Qi was quite shocked. When he saw Xu Zhichun today, his smile was exceptionally sincere.

What a kind person!

These days, anyone willing to help others get rich is definitely a top-notch person.

"Zhichun, tell me what you want to make, and I'll get it ready for you right away."

"Oh, thank you for your hard work, Uncle Qitian."

Xu Zhichun has a lot of things to make.

The kitchen needs a five-tiered shelf to hold jars, pots, and baskets of all sizes. The storage room also needs two chests of drawers, each taller than a person, for storing things. There should also be two bath tubs, one for her and one for her brother-in-law. Three large wooden tubs, each about half a person tall, and three large basins will be used to soak konjac tofu, konjac knots, and to make ice jelly.

In addition, she and her brother-in-law each had a wardrobe built in their rooms, and her brother-in-law's room also had an extra desk.

Qi Tian nodded as he used charcoal to write and draw on a thin piece of wood, making marks that he could understand.

Xu Zhichun was relieved to see this. She had been a little worried that Uncle Qitian wouldn't remember what she had said, but it seemed that she didn't need to worry about anything since he was an expert.

As for the wardrobe and desk, Xu Zhichun had her own ideas. Last night, she even had the child draw a simple picture with paper and pen.

At that moment, she took out the simple diagram and showed it to Qi Tian, ​​explaining it step by step. The wardrobe that Xu Zhichun wanted to make was a modern modular wardrobe. It was a large wardrobe with five doors, divided into several layers of varying sizes, with two built-in drawers and two long blank spaces with wooden rods embedded above as crossbeams for hanging clothes.

The desk is rectangular, with a connected bookcase on the desktop, also divided into compartments of different sizes, for easy storage of writing implements, paper, inkstones, and books.

Qi Tian was stunned when he saw the picture.

Xu Zhichun was a little apprehensive. The diagram was very simple, and she felt that it shouldn't be too difficult to make, but she wasn't an expert and didn't know whether her "feeling" was accurate or not.

The generation gap between ancient and modern people does exist.

"Uncle Qitian, look at this—can it be made?"

Aunt Zhu'er was a little nervous when she heard this. "This—Brother Qi, it's just a few pieces of furniture, it's not difficult, is it?"

She patted her chest and assured Zhichun, "Brother Qi, you'd better live up to my expectations!"

"Ah? Not difficult at all. You can do it! You're absolutely amazing!" Qi Tian slapped his thigh and looked at Xu Zhichun excitedly, praising, "Zhichun, your blueprints for the wardrobe and desk are brilliant, absolutely brilliant! The desk is designed so that it can not only be used for writing, but also convenient for storing things and can be used as a bookshelf; the wardrobe is divided into sections like this, making everything clear at a glance. It's truly ingenious. I've never thought of making furniture like this in all these years of making furniture. It's wonderful."

Aunt Zhu patted her chest and chuckled, "Look at you, you didn't say so earlier, you scared me. Zhichun is smart, she can think of many things. Since you can do it, then hurry up and do it."

Xu Zhichun also laughed: "I was just thinking about what would be convenient. If it works, that would be great."

Her house was old and dilapidated, and she didn't want to bother with the furniture anymore. Making money was the priority. Once she had saved enough to build a new house, she could then have a complete set of furniture made to her liking. That would be the best way.

She actually really wanted to sleep in an ancient-style canopy bed. She could think about other things later, but she absolutely had to have a genuine canopy bed.

Qi Tian said, "Zhi Chun, I have something to discuss with you. Can I make your wardrobe and desk for other people?"

Xu Zhichun couldn't help but smile and nodded: "Of course you can."

She was surprised that Uncle Qitian even asked her, since in this day and age there's no such thing as intellectual property rights. Even if Uncle Qitian hadn't asked her and had just given it to another company to do, she would never have known.

Besides, whether it's a wardrobe or a desk, anyone who sees the style can easily copy it and learn how to do it, so why would they need to ask her?

Qi Tian was delighted to see her so straightforward and quickly added, "Such unique and convenient furniture must be very popular. I can't take advantage of you for nothing. Consider these pieces of furniture I made for you as payment. I won't charge you a single penny, not even for the wood. Don't worry, I'll definitely use the best materials for you."

"this--"

"Please don't refuse."

Aunt Zhu'er laughed and said, "Zhichun, since your Uncle Qitian said so, it must be so. Don't be polite."

Xu Zhichun was surprised by this unexpected joy. After thinking about it, she felt that Uncle Qitian should not have lost out, and her family had also saved a considerable amount of money. "Then thank you very much, Uncle Qitian."

"Hehe, don't mention it, I should be thanking you."

Qi Tian was in high spirits and didn't bother to rest. After seeing them get on the oxcart to go to the city, he hurriedly went home to get back to work.

When inspiration strikes, you can't afford to delay, right?

He was in a state of enlightened excitement, as if he had suddenly gained a profound understanding and could apply his knowledge to other situations. He needed to think things through carefully as he worked to make the wardrobe a success.
Upon arriving in the city, as usual, Zeng Xiaoyan and Aunt Zhu'er set up their stall first, while Xu Zhichun and Liang Mingliang delivered the goods.

It's a new month! Please vote for me! o(*￣︶￣*)o
