These three small bookshelves are made of beech wood, which is not available locally. They are hard and have clear texture.
Taoshu's small bookshelf is made of toon wood, which is common in the local area. It loses in terms of wood.
The dealer's bookshelf is not only made of valuable wood, but also has exquisite workmanship.
Of course, the dealers will not fool around with the things they use themselves. Every detail is made to perfection. The surface is polished smooth and without burrs, and the nails are driven tightly. Although there are no beautiful carved patterns, the unique appearance alone is enough. Attractive sight.
Moreover, Zhuang Wen's positioning is very clear. His target is not students from wealthy families, but classmates with similar family backgrounds to him.
Such a beautiful and unique small bookshelf, compared with the traditional large bookshelf, is flexible and portable, and can be carried anywhere in the study, bedroom, or yard.
Anyway, Zhuang Wen liked them very much, and he was very confident in these three small bookshelves.
The oxcart arrived at the city gate. Because there were many pedestrians, several people got off the oxcart and prepared to walk into the city.
Suddenly, someone shouted: "Brother Li!"
Li Qiao looked towards the source of the sound and saw Xiao Wu standing not far in front of him holding the carriage, waving to him.
However, looking at Xiao Wu's expression, he actually looked a little worried.
He walked over and said, "Brother Five, what a coincidence."
"Brother Li, do you have something to do when you come to the county today?" Xiao Wu led the carriage and walked to the side, as if he had something to say to Li Qiao.
Li Qiao asked the Zhuang family to wait first. He followed Xiao Wu to the roadside: "I bought a piece of land and plan to build a new house, so I came to the county town. Brother Xiao Wu, is there something wrong?"
"Hey, congratulations to Brother Li first."
Xiaowu congratulated him first, but soon his smile fell: "Today I went to the butcher shop to buy pig intestines, but none of the three butcher shops had pig intestines."
"The butcher who sells meat said that not only is it gone today, but it will also be gone in the next half month, because Zuixianju paid twice the price and bought all the pig intestines in the next half month."
"My shopkeeper said that Zuixianju must also make sausages."
"...there is such a thing." Li Qiao frowned.
"Also, my shopkeeper heard from diners yesterday that Zuixianju has also started selling qingtuan and dama flowers. The dama flowers in Zuixianju cannot be called dama flowers, because the ones made in Zuixianju are relatively small and only fit in the palm of the hand. So big, delicate and compact, and tastes similar to what you make."
"But the green dumplings are not as delicious as the ones you make. After the diner tasted Zuixianju's green dumplings, he went to Wangyue Tower to buy the green dumplings. He said that Zuixianju's green dumplings were too hard and not tasty."
Xiaowu said again.
"...Is there any bad news?" Li Qiao asked.
"No more." Xiao Wu immediately shook his head.
These two pieces of news were bad enough. If there was more bad news, he wouldn't be able to bear it.
Since he took the job of coming to Sanliu Village to pick up goods, he not only gets free snacks from time to time, but his contact with Shopkeeper Wang has also increased day by day, and Shopkeeper Wang has become more and more dependent on him.
Seemingly, these days are getting more and more exciting, but now Zui Xianju comes out to interfere with Li Qiao's business. It's too much!
"Fortunately, it's not a big deal." Li Qiao smiled and patted Xiao Wu on the shoulder: "Don't be so gloomy. We can't stop Zuixianju from doing anything, so we just have to do our best."
"Ah? Aren't you angry?" Xiao Wu was surprised.
How can you still laugh after everything is like this?
"I'm angry, but we can't control what Zuixianju sells. They didn't steal it, they figured it out on their own. We have to let them sell it."
Of course, I’ll wait until I meet Shopkeeper Zhao next time.
Shopkeeper Zhao has to pay the medical expenses.
Xiaowu: "..."
I admire this mentality.
Even shopkeeper Wang was very angry, but Brother Li ended up acting like a normal person!
"The diners also said that Zuixianju's Qingtuan is not delicious, so Zuixianju failed to steal business, but instead increased sales for us."
Li Qiao said with a smile.
Making Qingtuan requires more than just glutinous rice flour. Besides, besides Qingtuan skin, the killer ingredient of egg yolk and meat floss has not been released yet.
As for Dama Hua, he has long been prepared to be imitated. At worst, he will stop selling this product and sell peach cakes instead.
As for the grilled sausages, this is really tricky because Butcher Zheng really doesn’t have enough pig intestines.
But there is no way, no means no.
So, go ahead and make pork meatballs and bacon.
As long as your thinking does not slip, there are always more methods than difficulties.
Xiao Wu was completely convinced after hearing what Li Qiao said.
As expected of a person who does big business, he is stable!
"Brother Li, the shopkeeper said he will try his best to find pig intestines. Don't worry about you and Brother Zhu. He knows many people and will definitely be able to find a way."
Thinking of what Shopkeeper Wang said, Xiao Wu said quickly.
"Okay, then I'll go to Wangyue Tower after I finish my business," Li Qiao said.
He hasn't seen Shopkeeper Wang for a long time.
Although Shopkeeper Wang and he had a mutually beneficial relationship, since cooperating with Shopkeeper Wang, he not only made money, but also saved a lot of worry.
It's time to go see Shopkeeper Wang.

The author has something to say:
It's a little early today because I have something to do tonight. I will update more QAQ tomorrow.
Chapter 48: Feeling sorry for him Egg Yolk Floss
The purchase of the homestead went smoothly. He gave the county magistrate in charge of the matter a few extra cents, and Li Qiao quickly got a land deed.
Then Li Qiao and Zhuang Feng said goodbye, Zhuang Feng took back the village, and Li Qiao went to Wangyue Tower.
It was not yet ten o'clock in the morning, and Wangyue Tower had just opened its doors.
But the business looked good. When Li Qiao entered, there were more than ten people sitting in the lobby on the first floor, and judging by their attire, half of them were maids from wealthy families.
The other half were also wearing cotton and satin. In short, their family background was as poor as that of a banker.
When Li Qiao stepped in, a girl who looked like a maid was asking shopkeeper Wang: "Shopkeeper, are you ready to fry the sausages? Hurry up, I've been waiting for a quarter of an hour."
Shopkeeper Wang was sitting behind the counter dialing the abacus. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Miss Dingxiang, wait a moment. Xiao Wu just got the goods back. It's a little late today. Please wait a little longer, girl."
"Shopkeeper, what about the qingtuan balls that my girl wants? Sixty, not one less. My girl is hosting a small banquet today. You can pack the qingtuan balls for me first. If you want to fry the sausages, sixty, no less. No less.”
Another maid-looking person urged.
"Girl Jinque, your qingtuan will be ready soon, sixty of them, not a single one is missing. But frying the sausages has to wait. If your girl is in a hurry, how about you take the sausages back to the house and let the house Will the cook cook it?"
Shopkeeper Wang asked with a smile: "Actually, this sausage is most delicious when it's just fried."
The girl named Jinque frowned and thought for a moment, then said with some reluctance: "Okay."
"Then, please excuse me to go to the dining room. I will give you one more as a gift. You are welcome to come here often."
Shopkeeper Wang said again.
As soon as these words came out, the reluctance on Jinque's face disappeared, and she said with a smile: "Okay."
A fried sausage costs thirty-five cents, and her monthly income is only nine hundred cents. A fried sausage is worth her monthly salary for a day. She would not be willing to buy this fried sausage on weekdays.
She unexpectedly got an extra one today. From now on, she will definitely praise Wangyue Tower in front of her young lady.
On the other side, people sitting in the lobby saw that Shopkeeper Wang was willing to give away fried sausages, and they all urged him, hoping that Shopkeeper Wang would also give them one as a gift.
However, they were going to be disappointed, because the chef at Wangyue Tower was really slow at work. As soon as they finished speaking, the two waiters came out carrying three large plates of grilled sausages.
They wanted a small amount, one or a few sausages per person, but they couldn't handle the large number of people, so they quickly divided the three large plates of grilled sausages.
Paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other, by the time the dozen or so people left, shopkeeper Wang had sold more than ninety sausages.
There are also hundreds of youth groups.
During this period, Li Qiao sat on the table near the door until all these people left, then he walked towards Shopkeeper Wang.
"Shopkeeper Wang, business is booming." Li Qiao said with a smile.
"It's thanks to you, Xiao Li. Come on, let's go to the backyard."
Shopkeeper Wang was also very happy to see Li Qiao. He led Li Qiao to the backyard.
The backyard of Wangyue Tower was very large, and it was a house with three entrances. He took Li Qiao into the private room specially used for entertaining guests.
After sitting down, shopkeeper Wang raised his hand and poured a cup of tea for Li Qiao: "Try it, this is the finest Maojian, fragrant and strong. I would not be willing to serve such good tea to ordinary people when they come over."
Li Qiao smiled when he heard this. He picked up the teacup and brought it to his nose to take a gentle sniff. The fragrance of the tea leaves immediately hit his face.
"It is indeed good tea."
"I'll give you a pack when I leave later." Shopkeeper Wang said with a smile: "We don't have this tea in the county. We have to go to the capital to buy it."
"Then thank the shopkeeper." Li Qiao was not polite.
He actually doesn't care much about drinking tea, but the tip of the hair does smell good, so it would be disrespectful to say otherwise.
"Xiao Li, you saw it just now. As soon as the doors opened, many people came to buy fried sausages. The sausages made by the Zheng family are gone before noon every time. If it is a little later, you definitely can't eat them. .”
"I originally thought that rich men would love this sausage more. After all, it's perfect to drink with wine, but who knew that rich ladies also like it? They don't find it greasy at all, and they usually buy green dumplings and sausages together. .”
When it comes to grilled sausages and green dumplings, shopkeeper Wang’s face turns into a smile.
The price he set for grilled sausages was not meant for people from ordinary families. The profit for meals for ordinary people was very thin. For example, steamed buns could only earn a penny for each bun. But for these wealthy people, the profit was very small. thicker.
Like fried sausages, he got them from Butcher Zheng, and each one cost eighteen cents, and he sold them for thirty-five cents.
After deducting the cost of five cents, the profit from one sausage is twelve cents.
If you sell 400 sticks a day, the profit will be 4,800 yuan.
As for Qingtuan, he took the goods from Li Qiao, and each one was worth eighteen cents, and he also sold it for thirty-five cents.
