Shen Yu comes from the 21st century, in addition to advanced enterprise management concepts, there are many practical things.

She recalled what the dining table in the hotel looked like, and drew a sketch with a pencil, and a sketch next to it, marking the dimensions in detail.

Shen Yu handed over the drawings to Laifu, "How many such tables can be made before the old lady's birthday banquet?" ”

Shen Yu heard Hexiang mention that before Laifu went to Fuyunju to catch the car, he used to help in a furniture shop, and he studied carpentry for a while, and he was very skillful.

Usually, if any tables, chairs and benches in the yard are broken, he can fix them by himself. Including the embroidery frame for the maids' embroidery, and the low bench for washing clothes, Laifu can be made according to their requirements.

Laifu took the drawings and looked at them for a while, and said, "How many do you need?" And what materials are used for this table? ”

Shen Yu thought for a moment and said, "Let's make thirty first, and ten people will sit at each table." The material is first made of good, durable wood, painted, and then a tablecloth is laid on top. ”

"Okay, I'll make one out for Grandma to see." Rifle nodded. Just looking at the drawings, he didn't quite understand what Shen Yu was going to do, especially the shaft connecting the two layers, and he couldn't see what it was for.

Laifu has followed Shen Yu for so long, Shen Yu often has some special instructions, he is used to doing what he is asked to do, anyway, the young grandmother has her own reasons for doing things.

Two days later, the table was ready and sent to Fuyunju.

"Grandma, the table is made of beech wood, and although rosewood is good, there is not so much wood for a while. The table made of beech wood is also easy to work with, and the wood is very hard. Laifu turned the table to show Shen Yu.

Rosewood and rosewood are commonly used materials for wealthy people, and many of the tables, chairs and benches in Fuyunju are made of rosewood.

However, which of these two kinds of wood is also very expensive, just for a banquet so expensive, Shen Yu feels pain just thinking about it.

She carefully looked at the double-tiered dining table in front of her, the size of which was her mark, and could accommodate ten to twelve people. The cut white beech wood has a light pink color and a beautiful texture, so there is no need to paint.

The birthday banquet was in a hurry, and Shen Yu was worried about whether she could dry it after the paint was applied. If you let the magnates of Qingshui Town dine in the strong smell of paint, they may be counted down.

Shen Yu tried to turn around, nodded and said, "You did a good job, but this table will take two days, can thirty sheets be completed on schedule?" ”

Seeing that his work was recognized, Laifu was overjoyed, and he said happily: "I promise to make the table, this time I will do it alone, and I will go back and let the guys in the furniture store help together, and it will be fast to do it." ”

"Okay, when the birthday banquet is over, we will reward you for your meritorious deeds." Shen Yu cheered for Laifu.

Hearing the reward for meritorious deeds, the people of Fuyunju also had hope, and they worked harder and harder. People are coming in and out, busy and happy.

The most important thing in the birthday banquet is to eat and drink, and in this aspect of eating, Shen Yu has asked people to invite famous chefs and pastry chefs in Tongcheng.

The Sheng family is famous for tea, and when it comes to drinking, it is natural to mainly use tea.

Shen Yu discussed with Sheng Yanqing, "For this birthday banquet, I was originally going to treat guests with our unique Cloud Turning Dragon, but now the Cloud Turning Dragon has not been picked yet, and there are only so many at the bottom of the box, if I really take them out, I am really reluctant." So I thought, why don't we take out our newly made black tea, give it to everyone to taste, and let people make suggestions. ”

Sheng Yanqing thought for a moment, "Let's take the Cloud Turning Dragon, the black tea has not been exported yet, and our Sheng family is also the only one in Huaxia, so I keep it for other purposes." ”

"What is more important than the old lady's birthday feast?" Shen Yu raised her head and asked, in the past few days, she had already thought about the use of black tea, and even the utensils for making tea were being prepared.

Hearing Sheng Yanqing say this, everything has to be done all over again, Shen Yu was a little puzzled, so she naturally wanted to break the casserole and ask in the end.

Sheng Yanqing still wanted to sell Guanzi, but Shen Yu stopped him from leaving, crossed his hands on his waist, and pretended to be angry and said: "The old lady said that the birthday banquet should be handed over to me to be responsible, since you don't say it, then I have to make my own decisions." ”

"You!" Sheng Yanqing stretched out her hand and flicked her cheek, "It doesn't hurt to tell you, the British will hold a tea party in the provincial capital in a while, and then the winning merchants will have the opportunity to supply tea to foreigners." It's just that this matter is still being planned, and there are very few places for the tea party, and everyone is squeezing their heads to go, and it is still unknown whether they can go. ”

"Tea party?" The dark clouds on Shen Yu's face dissipated in an instant, and she wished that she would have the opportunity to leave the Sheng family and go to the provincial capital to see the world.

She tugged at Sheng Yanqing's sleeve and asked, "Will foreigners still participate in the tea party held by the British?" ”

Sheng Yanqing sat on the chair, looked at her overjoyed appearance, shook her head slightly, and said: "The judges are all foreigners, but there are not a few foreigners in Tongcheng, aren't they all two eyes and one nose, are they so good-looking?" Look, you're pleased. ”

"Of course it's different, we're on our own territory now, and we can all eat together again. You think that those foreigners who have traveled across the ocean can go out of their countries to develop in China, and these people must also be far-sighted and knowledgeable people in their countries. Can I not be happy to be able to deal with these people? Shen Yu has a reason.

Seeing Shen Yu's eyebrows fluttering, Sheng Yanqing coughed lightly, and said, "Don't think about foreigners first, grandmother's birthday banquet is just around the corner, and we have to pass this pass." ”

Shen Yu stood up, blessed her body, and said with a smile: "Listen to the second master." ”

Mrs. Sheng's birthday banquet this time, firstly, is to celebrate her sixty-second birthday, and secondly, she wants to let the celebrities and businessmen in Qingshui Town take a look, even if the Sheng family is now without Sheng Yanming, and has experienced a lot of troubles before and after, it is still one of the best families in Qingshui Town, and it cannot be underestimated.

Shen Yu figured out the meaning of the old lady, and the birthday banquet was as extravagant and luxurious as possible.

Although Sheng Yanqing was not directly involved in the affairs of the inner house, she invited two daughters-in-law of her own family to give Shen Yu ideas, helping her inside and out.

These two women, Sun and Ma, are related to the Sheng family, and according to their generation, Shen Yu wants to call Sun's sister-in-law and Ma's aunt.

Shen Yu said with a smile: "In the next few days, there will be more things to prepare, including on the day of the birthday banquet, so many people come in and out, and there must be Aunt Lao and sister-in-law." ”

"Grandma is serious." Sun and Ma hurriedly waved their hands.

Although the two of them are relatives of the Sheng family, the Sheng family is huge, and the only good ones are now living in the Sheng Mansion.

Both women wore their hair in a bun, half-worn clothes, and a little silver jewelry. In terms of dress temperament, they are not as good as the maids and daughters of the Sheng family.
