Chapter 87 Sofa

At 6:10 am on April 13, Long Jianhua still opened the door and went out to exercise as usual.

As soon as they opened it, they saw two people squatting on the ground against the wall, with a big bag beside them; when they approached, they turned out to be Chen Yuanshan and Chen Shengfan.

Long Jianhua asked angrily, "Why don't you knock on the door when you are here?" He hurriedly asked the two of them to enter the room.

Chen Yuanshan said in a muffled voice, "I just arrived for a while and it was almost dawn, so I didn't disturb you to sleep."

Long Jianhua complained, "Uncle Yuanshan, you're about to catch a cold. I walked here from the train station for more than two hours, right? If you want to come, you can rest in the train station waiting room until 7 o'clock before talking. What about them? They can't be sitting in the square, right?"

Chen Shengfan laughed and said, "What we did this time was to pass the train from our county. They went back directly, saying that they wanted to see what hybrid rice seedlings looked like. Uncle Yuanshan and I got off here, wanting to send you some dried bamboo shoot leaves."

When making magnolia slices, dried bamboo shoots are made by peeling off the unpeeled tender bamboo shoots on the steamed bamboo shoots. In fact, they are better than magnolia slices. However, because the amount is small, people who buy magnolia slices do not agree with it, so people who process magnolia slices usually take them back and eat them.

While the two were washing up, Long Jianhua made a large bowl of brown sugar ginger tea for them; then burned a large pot of water and let them take a hot bath.

After washing, Chen Yuanshan came to the outer room and laughed, "Jianhua, I have never seen you 'wooden stool' before. It's good to sit down. Both the things you took a shower were bought, right?"

Long Jianhua smiled and said, "This is called a sofa. I have seen it on TV and did a few of them. The one who took a bath felt that it was inconvenient before. It was thought about it myself and it was more comfortable to wash it. They are all pretty good? They were just made at home and didn't dare to paint."

Chen Yuanshan smiled and nodded, "Jianhua, you just like to use your brain."

Long Jianhua waved his hand, "Uncle Yuanshan, I think such a sofa will be popular with many people. If Team Ninth does some such sales, it is also a way to make money. Last time, Brother Liqian came to ask scientists to guide seedling cultivation techniques, and said that Brother Lishi had bought the tractor with his hand and went to the commune to recruit people to the district. Each of them costs 20 cents, the supply and marketing cooperative asked him to deliver goods. If someone buys a sofa outside, he can ask him to give it."

At this time, Chen Shengfan walked out after taking a shower and said in surprise, "Uncle Lishi really bought the car? Very decisive... Uncle Jianhua, did you buy this wooden stool? It's very comfortable."

Long Jianhua smiled and told him that he did it himself, and told him his suggestions again.

I heard that it was made by myself, so Chen Shengfan couldn't sit still. He ran around and studied the sofa. He sat on the sofa and put his hands on the handrail. He found four drawers below and opened them to take a look...

Long Jianhua smiled and said, "Don't study it anymore. I have drawn a few sets of drawings, but I don't have many tools and my level is not good enough. I can only make this simplest one."

After saying that, I went upstairs and took down all four sets of sofa style drawings I drew and asked them to study them.

The three of them spoke in the room. Although they tried their best to control the volume, they still woke up grandparents and parents, and they got up quickly.

Seeing grandparents come out, the two stood up and greeted them. Grandma asked, "Are you back from making magnolia films from Jiangjiang Province?"

Chen Yuanshan laughed and said, "Yes. We brought some bamboo shoots and leaves to bring them."

Grandma smiled and scolded, "It's so troublesome to stop here from such a long distance. Jianhua has to go to Team 9, so he'll bring it back then."

Chen Yuanshan and Chen Shengfan repeatedly said that it was not troublesome, but instead gained a lot.

When they heard that they wanted to go back to do such a sofa sale, grandma laughed and said, "Jianhua just likes to do something random, but this sofa is really good. We are making sofa covers. Next time you come back, you will think it's even better."

This kind of primitive sofa first appeared in the mid-1980s. Now it naturally looks good and feels comfortable to sit on. Not to mention anything else, the name "sofa" sounds tall and elegant.

After breakfast, my parents went to work, my sister went to school, my grandfather took a teacup to visit Xiahe Street, and my grandmother also carried a basket to buy vegetables, and only Long Jianhua and the other two were at home.

Chen Shengfan asked impatiently, "Uncle Jianhua, do you think that this kind of factory is OK for our team to run? You can take care of it."

Long Jianhua shook his head, "I won't care about this. I tell you, I am a temporary worker in the fleet now and I have to send cars frequently. You may think that I only cost five yuan a day to use my car, so it's better to dig medicinal materials... Do you still remember the copper coins I mentioned? The price in Shajuan City is now at the lowest price of 60 cents, but I have sold 70 cents."

Chen Shengfan's eyes suddenly became hot, and a pair of eyes were rolling around. It took him a long time to scream, "It's so expensive?"

Long Jianhua nodded, "So if you have the chance, you can collect everything you can. But this sofa must be made, and there are excuses to go around, right? The amount of copper coins is not infinite, but there will be many people buying sofas, and the future of making sofas is also broader."

"I calculated that a normal set of sofas can be sold at least 300 yuan now, so we can make 14 yuan; if we sell five sets a day, the annual profit will be amazing..."

When he was in Team Ninth, Long Jianhua never told them about the sofa, and the time was not yet ripe at that time.

When grandma came back from buying vegetables, she saw the three of them still muttering and shouted to Long Jianhua, "Jianhua, don't you take them out for a walk? It's rare to come here, take a good trip to Shajuan City."

Chen Yuanshan laughed and said, "Aunt, there are many opportunities in Shajuan City in the future, and there is still time to visit. The issue we are talking about today is a big problem, which is related to whether we can visit well in the future."

Grandma walked towards the kitchen with a basket on her shoulder, "Okay, you guys talk, keep talking."

After lunch, the two of them said goodbye with a happy look on their faces.

Long Jianhua saw that the two of them were about to leave with only a small bag on their backs, and asked in surprise, "Are these two big bags for me?"

Chen Yuanshan laughed and said, "We have already brought our own ones back. This is all for you. Most of them are magnolia slices, as well as some dried bamboo shoots and stings."

Seeing Long Jianhua's confused look, Chen Shengfan untied a sack and took out a dried bamboo shoot tip. "Uncle Jianhua, Jianbao is actually the dried bamboo shoot tip, as tender as dried bamboo shoot leaves, and is the best among magnolia slices. Only you, Uncle Jianhua, can you eat such a good thing. We just help you eat a little, hehe."

Long Jianhua ran to the inner room and took out four dried wild ducks, and bought each of them five kilograms of peach pastry and one kilogram of meat floss before sending them to the bus without saying a word.

After returning home, grandma held a Jianbao and laughed, "I haven't seen Jianbao before... Jianhua, do you think it's very profitable to make sofas?"
