Chapter Eighty-Three: There is a kind of Western-style furniture called a sofa
Due to the introduction of a new project by the furniture factory, Yang Liufang, who originally planned to return to Wenzhou to apply for an ID card, had to continue to postpone the trip, and he had to complete the transformation of these old desks and chairs before he could go back with confidence. So I started to work hard again day and night.
The last time Li Tongfu chatted with the director of the education committee, he also talked about a new project, which is to prepare sportswear for the students of Hanwangchuan Middle School who participated in the radio gymnastics show. In the past few days, because of the old table and chair renovation project, he went back and forth to the Education Committee to sign the contract, and when he got the check, he confirmed it with the leaders of the Education Committee, and now it can finally be launched. He still chose two or three varieties, gave full play to his oratory advantages, and promoted sportswear at the office meeting of the Education Committee so that the leaders could decide. In the end, the leaders determined that the three grades of Hanwangchuan Middle School purchased a total of 90 sets of blue and white sportswear, and selected outstanding students according to the performance of radio gymnastics.
Li Tongfu has been busy with this matter in the past few days, his mouth is blistering, and he can't open his mouth wide when he speaks. Fortunately, things went relatively smoothly, and yesterday a total of 90 students from three grades participated in the show all the clothes were measured, and he went back to Xizhou City early this morning to customize these clothes.
Yang Liufang was busy all morning, and as soon as he finished work and was ready to wash and eat, a customer came to the door. Yang Liufang asked the village chief of Shi to help receive him first, and he went to clean the sawdust on his face because of the use of a machine saw. Before he finished washing, the stone village chief quietly walked over and asked, "Brother, the guest asked if we can make a sofa?" ”
"Sofa?"
"Hmm."
"What's the sofa?"
"Well, I'm not afraid of the Buddha's (saying) mistakes, I'm here to ask for your advice!"
"Brother Shi, to be honest, I don't know."
"Let's go, I'm done washing, let's go talk together."
"Then I'll go to the toilet first."
"Ah, look at that scares you."
"What's the matter, I came out of the toilet under the pretext of going to the toilet."
Yang Liufang walked into the reception room located in the corner of the warehouse, which was specially opened recently, and it turned out that the customers came to let them go to the bedroom, and later found that it was not like that. It's okay in winter, there is a fire kang in the bedroom, and it's a bit embarrassing to go in at this time. So Yang Liufang asked the workers to use waste wooden planks to separate a room here, and put a small table in it, so that customers can see the finished furniture when they come, and they can come in to rest when they are tired.
"Hello, boss. Our manager just told me, do you want to make a custom sofa? ”
"Hello, yes, I've seen your furniture, it's all antique, can you make a modern Western-style sofa?"
"If you open a furniture factory and can't do it without furniture, do you have any requirements for sofas? Is it for home or office use? In fact, he himself doesn't know what the sofa is, but he listened to the customer's words, for most of the year, he relied on the antique furniture this "trick fresh", to eat a full, and now it is indeed time to renew, should make some attempts in the new furniture. Now he is forced to be calm and still shows that he understands very well.
"At home, I want a one-person and a three-seater."
"That's it, boss, you believe me, come back tomorrow, I'll draw you a few looks and see if it's suitable."
"That's great, I'll see you tomorrow."
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
After Yang Liufang sent the guests away, the village chief Shi came up and asked, "Is the communication good?" ”
"Yes, Brother Shi, to be honest, I don't know what a sofa is. I went to Xizhou in the afternoon to look for books and department stores. I promised the client that he would come over tomorrow morning and I would show him the sample drawing. ”
"Ah, in such a hurry, can you get it out?"
"The furniture in the world has the same origin, which is nothing more than from simple to complex."
At noon, because Yang Liufang had something on his mind, he indiscriminately pulled two mouthfuls of rice, and asked the village chief of Shi to send him to the three-way intersection.
I took the bus to Yantan again, and then reversed the bus back to Xizhou. This time, he didn't go to see Boss Chen and Boss Zhou, but went directly to Xinhua Bookstore. Through the stairs, I found the furniture library area on the third floor, and after some searching, I saw that the books of modern furniture were all in the form of pictorials or magazines, and they were all expired. But after flipping through the pages, I found that the modern furniture in these magazines was enough for my own furniture factory.
He picked out a "Furniture" magazine and a "Shanghai Furniture Collection". Both are magazine-type books like pictorials. After going downstairs to the checkout office, the salesperson did not help him pack it like last time, but gave him a handbag printed with Xinhua Bookstore. Out of the Xinhua bookstore, he asked all the way, and then took the car to the Xizhou supply and marketing department store, after getting off the car, walked up the high steps, through a revolving glass door, only to enter a space with lights on during the day, although it is also a subordinate unit of the Xizhou Supply and Marketing Cooperative, but the goods are dazzling, in the dim light, most of them are very delicate and shiny.
Yang Liufang entered the Grand View Garden like Grandma Liu, and soon got lost in it, walked around, and found the place where furniture and bedding were found. Here he saw a European-style carved bed, and a sofa he had never seen before. It was a chair upholstered in green velvet, and he stepped forward to touch it, and the taut corduroy had a smooth feel. At the key point, a diamond pattern is nailed with a round cap, and there are two large diamond-like decorative buckles on the backrest. He couldn't help but sit down, not expecting the bottom of his ass to collapse.
Yang Liufang was startled, thinking that he had broken his butt for others, and thought: This sofa is too unsturdy. He was so frightened that he put his hands on the armrests and hurriedly stood up. At this time, the salesman found out, walked up and said sharply: "Hey, why don't you buy it, don't touch it." Who will you sell it to? ”
When Yang Liufang heard the reprimand, he instantly blushed, picked up his handbag containing the book, and fled as if flying. In the mall, I wandered around like a fly, and the more anxious I was, the more I made mistakes, and gradually began to sweat, as if I was suffocating. In the end, it took a few people to find the exit of the mall, and Yang Liufang, who walked out of the revolving door, took a deep breath. This time, although the supply and marketing department store was reprimanded, they finally saw the real thing and figured out what the sofa was. He walked across the street from the mall and boarded a bus back to Yantan.
At the three-way intersection, he paid the driver a dollar and asked him to send him directly to the door of the furniture factory, and by the time he arrived at the furniture factory, the workers had already reached the end of work. Everyone was busy scrubbing, and Li Tongfu saw him come back with a book with a disgraced face and greeted him.
"Brother, I heard that you went to Xizhou to see the sofa? What do you think? Is there any result? ”
"Brother, yes, I thought the sofa was something, but it was actually a soft backrest chair."
"Isn't that the couch with a spring in it?"
"Ah, I said, I sat down and fell in. I thought I was sitting badly, and I ran out without looking back. ”
"He will recover, the first time I sat in Haining, it was a leather sofa, and it scared me if I continued to do it."
"And leather?"
"yes."
"Oh, I'm a velvet one today."
The two chatted, and Yang Liufang washed his head and face. Then they went to the canteen to eat together, because there were only him and Ah Fu, and the canteen master made it more exquisite, plus Yang Liufang didn't eat much at noon, and he was indeed hungry, so he ate a lot at night. When I returned to the bedroom, I flipped through the magazine and began to draw drawings of the sofa, carefully marking the materials on various parts of the drawings. While doing this, I remembered something, so I asked Li Tongfu.
"Brother, you said that the sofa has leather, so if we open a tannery, can we also use the sofa?"
"yes, not only the sofa, but also the suitcase."
"Oh, then we'll have to get this leather factory thing done as soon as possible."
"Wait until you get your ID card and come back."
"Shhh Yang Liufang took a breath, thinking about the ID card, he had to make up his mind to go back as soon as possible. If new projects continue to come in, they will not be able to do without it. Thinking of this, he got up and picked up the lantern to see the progress of the renovation of the old tables and chairs. It was found that there were more than 100 sets left, and if no new projects were added, it would take a week to complete them.
Yang Liufang began to calculate the time of returning home in detail.
