The city is full of wind and rain and the sun is near, a kind of fragrant Xiao 圃圃 planting, not Yuanming's preference for this, this flower blooms after the flower blooms less.

In the season of chrysanthemum blooming, Changwen Paper Store has launched an unexpected thing, that is, mahogany furniture!

Tang Yi had long heard that Grandpa Cheng went to the West and brought back high-quality hardwood, and began to have mahogany furniture. When he was really in the Ming Dynasty, Tang Yi knew that it was not like that at all.

Until the Jiajing Dynasty, the number of hardwood furniture was very scarce, and Wei Liangfu's house had only a few chairs, and more furniture was made of cork that was easy to handle. Out of curiosity, Tang Yi inquired about Wang Shimao, and Wang Shimao told him that although the texture of hardwood furniture is beautiful, it is difficult to make, especially without flat wood tools, to wear linen and hang ashes, to level, putty, just like makeup, to cover up the flaws, so it is laborious and laborious, and it also loses its natural taste.

Uneven wood? What's so difficult, use a planer!

Tang Yi suddenly felt that he had found another business opportunity, he hurriedly found the shopkeeper Zhu, and after asking, sure enough, the planer used to level the wood had not appeared in the carpenter's hand.

The planer is somewhat similar to the principle of a razor, with a rectangular wooden trough with a sharp blade in the middle and a handle at the back, which can be used to plan, plane, straighten, and thin wood.

It's not a complicated thing, just do it, Tang Yi commanded the shopkeeper Zhu, made three in one breath, put them on the wood and tried it, the shavings flowed out smoothly, and it didn't take long for a wooden board to appear as smooth as a mirror. Looking at this magical scene, the happy hands of the shopkeeper Zhu danced and made the snot bubbles.

Even the most dull person knew the value of this new tool to carpenters, and Tang Yi was even more polite, he immediately borrowed ten experienced carpenters from the Wang family, and purchased a large number of huanghuali and wenge.

The entire backyard of the Tang family was turned into a carpenter's workshop, and after two months of busy work, the first batch of brand-new mahogany furniture was finally baked.

These Tianchang paper shops have long been famous in Taicang, since the opening, Liuying everyone sang the new Three Kingdoms repertoire, including "Serial Scheme", "Changban Slope", "Xu Mu Scolding Cao", "Battle of Changsha", "Zhao Yun Intercepting the River", "White Emperor City", "Seven Star Lanterns" and so on, almost 20 new songs.

There is also a saying that these new songs are all written by Tang Prodigy for Liuying.

You must know that a singing paragraph should say dozens of sentences or hundreds of sentences, pay attention to the choice of words, and design the singing tone, and the trouble is a hundred times better than poetry. Even if Wei Liangfu is famous all over the world, the singing segments he writes and arranges will not add up to more than fifty.

Tang Yi took out twenty paragraphs in one go, and the sensation was not enough to describe!

In addition to marveling at Tang Prodigy's talent, some people even said that Tang Prodigy wanted to learn from Sima Xiangru and pick Zhuo Wenjun. and Liuying's family are perfectly compatible, and the piano is harmonious...... Talented and beautiful women are the most popular topics for ordinary people. Even if the two of them are five years apart, even if Tang Yi is still a doll with no hair, everyone still praises it wishfully.

Tang Yi didn't bother to clarify, on the contrary, he added fuel to the fire, people made a movie and made gossip and hype, he made such a big business, how could he let go of the opportunity!

The direct consequence of the gossip is that the number of members has skyrocketed, Cao Dazhang and Wang Shimao have helped introduce several famous talents, and Zhizhou Chen Menghe doesn't know which string is wrong, and he even came to ask for a first-class member. I heard that the old parents have joined, the state bachelors of Taicang, and the gentry and businessmen of some family properties, all ran over, and they are not afraid of talent, can't they pay money!

In just half a month, there are more than 20 ordinary members alone, and the membership fee is almost 500 taels of silver, not counting those sky-high dishes and drinks!

Wu Tiancheng had already resigned from the accounting job he was looking for.

Oh my God, it's so unfair!

Thinking about himself, for three or five taels of silver a month, he ran around and tried his best. Master is really powerful, sitting at home, someone will send money, conservatively estimated, within a month, to say the least, there will be a thousand taels of silver in the account, it is easier than robbing money!

Tang Yi is not as optimistic as Wu Tiancheng, to put it bluntly, he is to provide a platform for literati to eat, drink, have fun, and exchange information, he can do it, and others can do the same. He has to keep coming up with new ones to attract more members and make everyone feel that they are getting the best value for their money!

Tang Yi first bought all the shops on both sides, and the paper shop was expanded five times at once, and then decorated according to different styles, ready to entertain more scholars. At the same time, he also asked for the newspaper from the Zhizhou Yamen, printed it, and sent it to members to let everyone know about the latest court trends. In addition, it also began to collect information about the imperial examination and publish it regularly.

These services are simply too important for readers, and they have nothing to do but go to the garden to sit and listen to discussions, and suddenly the whole person is sublimated. It's only twenty taels of silver a year, it's really worth it!

The members who were in the excitement soon discovered something more valuable, and when dozens of brand-new mahogany furniture were placed in front of everyone, their glasses suddenly shattered to the ground.

Even Wang Shimao opened his mouth in surprise, dark red wood, soft luster, beautiful texture, restrained and unassuming, perfect shape, people can't wait to sit on it. As the saying goes, swords are given to martyrs, and pink is given to beauties. The literati and mahogany furniture are like dry firewood, just a little bit!

Instantly the enthusiasm burned, and someone shouted: "Don't care how high the price is, I want it!" ”

Another middle-aged man sneered: "If you are rich or not, I will not believe in evil, the owner, you can bargain for the price!" ”

The big guys scrambled, and Wu Tiancheng became lively when he thought carefully.

Perhaps, probably, should...... Add a little price, he looked at Tang Yi as if asking for help, and said in his heart that the teacher has always been black-hearted, I'm afraid he won't let go of the opportunity to slaughter a knife!

Who knew that Tang Yi walked over calmly, stood in front of everyone, smiled before speaking, and arched his hand.

"Don't rush to scramble, we have already negotiated with the carpentry workshop, and there will be a steady stream of new goods sent over in the future, and we will definitely sell them to you at the most suitable price as a guarantee. And there are also discounts for members, the highest level is discounted, and ordinary members also have a nine-percent discount. ”

Tang Yi said and picked up an official hat chair in his early four years, and if he looked at it carefully, he would find that this kind of chair was popular and popular all over the world. The "S" shaped backrest is more ergonomic, not only easy to sit, but also with the armrests, which can bring out the majesty and meet the standard of sitting posture.

The official hat chair does not have too many complicated decorations, it is simple and bright, and after having a planer, it is also very easy to make, saving labor and materials, and Tang Yi specially calculated the height of the Ming people, and designed a chair of less than 40 centimeters, which is the most suitable to sit up.

The most flattering thing is that the official hat chair resembles the black gauze hat of a civil official, after sitting on it, regardless of whether it is true or not, you can find a trace of the posture of the official. In addition, the color of the mahogany itself is festive and heavy, which is in line with the aesthetics of the Chinese, and if it is not popular, it is simply unreasonable.

Just by taking it out, many people clapped their hands and applauded.

"This chair is called the official hat chair, let's see, is it a little similar?"

Listening to Tang Yi's introduction, everyone came to the spirit, and if you take a closer look, it really looks like it. The more hot and hot the eyes, just for the name, you should buy one, no, it's a few, put it at home, not for anything else, just to ask for a lip color!

"Hehe, I dare to ask, how much silver does a hardwood chair cost on the market?"

The people present were all experts, and when they knew that Tang Yi was going to announce the price, a fat rich businessman stood up.

"Speaking of hardwood chairs, they are not cheap, an ordinary one costs two taels of silver, and a set of tables and chairs costs twenty taels of silver. Tang prodigy, your chair has a unique style, exquisite workmanship, plus the name is pleased, five taels of silver, I bought it! ”

Tang Yi said with a smile: "How dare you dare, Tang Yi is a person in the Shilin, if he is more ruthless than others, how can he be worthy of the lessons of Confucius and Mencius, there is nothing else to say, two chairs and three taels of silver." Other circle chairs, rose chairs, chairs, square stools, poufs, flat heads, and warped heads, if they are more expensive than other places, you can just return them and refund the difference in the next double! ”

After finishing speaking, Tang Yi turned around in a dashing manner, and the specific business had to be handed over to Wu Tiancheng to do, so he didn't have to worry about it. Just as Tang Yi turned around, he didn't know who took the lead and slapped his face.

"Tang Prodigy is really kind, I admire it!"

"At such a young age, you have the style of a gentleman, it's really amazing!"

"Master Wei has accepted a good apprentice!"

In the praise of everyone, Tang Yi returned to his position and found that Wang Shimao was constantly grabbing his hair, and his little face was the same as eating bitter melon.

"Cousin, if you want to become a monk, you don't have to do this!"

"The ghost is going to become a monk!" Although Wang Shimao is not as good as his eldest brother, he is also a famous talent, but he can't understand Tang Yi's business methods. Those people are clearly going to be slaughtered, why don't you do it!

"Cousin, what the hell are you going to do, if you don't say it, I won't eat!" Wang Shimao said angrily.

Tang Yi saw Shen Lin waving at the door, blinked, and said with a smile: "Cousin, then you are hungry, teacher, the disciple will retire first!" ”
