Jiang Ning looked at two carpenters' shops, and then found a carpenter's shop near his shop.
There happened to be a set of cheap second-hand tables and chairs placed outside the shop. The table and four long stools cost less than 200 yuan.
"Shopkeeper, do you still have the tables and chairs here?" Jiang Ning stood at the door and shouted inside.
Soon, a man wearing a face towel and covered in sawdust came out.
"Madam, there is another cheap one, but the style is different from this one."
"Where is it? Can you please let me see it?"
"Ma'am, please come with me. The set is in the backyard."
Jiang Ning followed the carpenter shopkeeper to the backyard. In the yard, workers were busy carving and cutting wood.
The other set of tables and chairs looks better than the ones outside. The tables and chairs are all carved.
The carpenter shopkeeper laid out the tables and stools and explained to Jiang Ning.
"To be honest with you, Madam, this set of tables and chairs was purchased by me after several years of use. If Madam doesn't mind it, the price is easy to negotiate."
Jiang Ning didn't dislike it at all. The ones he used at home must be of good quality, and the table and chairs had been used for several years. Except for the color being a little old, everything else was in good condition, which showed that the owner cherished it.
"I want both this set of tables and chairs and the set in front of me. Can the shopkeeper make it cheaper?"
"The two sets originally cost 480 renminbi in total. If Madam wants both sets, I can give you 450 renminbi and deliver them to my door."
The price was much cheaper than the two stores he had seen before. Jiang Ning happily paid for the tables and chairs and gave him the address.
Before leaving the house, Jiang Ning remembered what she had forgotten and asked the shopkeeper again to explain that she wanted to order a cabinet.
In view of the small space, Jiang Ning wanted to make a cabinet with multiple uses. It could be used as a display cabinet, similar to a modern glass display cabinet, and could also be used for storage.
Jiang Ning talked and drew with the carpenter shopkeeper, and the carpenter shopkeeper summed it up and drew the final cabinet.
It is made of two cabinets, one high and one low. The lower part is a concave plane, and a detachable book shelf is added, which can be placed horizontally or vertically.
Below is a double-door cabinet with three layers inside.
The high part is used to settle money, and six drawers are arranged below.
The most common wood is used, and since it is custom-made, the buyer is responsible for the waste. Two cabinets cost 570 yuan.
The furniture part was completed. Jiang Ning counted the money he earned today and put in almost all of it.
Jiang Ning went to the grocery store to buy pots, pans, knives and chopping boards, spending all the money Lu Ping had given her before.
In addition to selling books and paintings, the bookstores here can also make paper and engrave.
Jiang Ning counted the remaining money and could only order 500 pieces of unpatterned oil paper to use for wrapping food.
After coming out of the bookstore, you turn a corner and reach Yu Zhiheng's stall.
Jiang Ning specially prepared tea eggs and rice balls to thank Yu Zhiheng for his help.
"Hello, Mr. Yu, snacks are disrespectful. I also want to thank you for your help yesterday. If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have been able to rent a shop in the county."
This is just a piece of cake for Zhiheng.
"Madam, you're welcome. Brother Qi has a need and you have a request. I just happened to meet you. When Madam's shop opens, I will definitely go to support it."
"Sir, he was willing to take me there in person yesterday, which is already a help. This is what I deserve to eat."
However, Jiang Ning insisted on keeping the things and could not allow Yu Zhiheng to refuse.
"The shop has opened today. These two snacks are the snacks we made before. There will be new ones in two days. You are welcome to come and taste them, sir."
After Jiang Ning said that, he took three steps and two steps at a time and walked away, not giving Yu Zhiheng a chance to pursue him.
The three of them, Lu Ping and others, were looking after the shop at home. From time to time, people would come to buy food. As they talked, they realized that they were people lining up to watch the excitement in the morning.
The meal was delicious and I continued to buy it in the afternoon.
The three of them also worked on Bo Xiaofeng. Jiang Ning had made all the glutinous rice cakes, and Lu Ping was only responsible for frying them. The three of them cooperated tacitly, and there was no trouble.
During his break, Lu Ping was planning to clean up the kitchen when he heard his brother shouting outside.
"Brother, come quickly, someone has delivered something."
They had no acquaintances in the county. Lu Ping couldn't think of who would send the things and thought it was someone coming to cause trouble.
After hurriedly running out, I realized that the table bought by Jiang Ning had arrived.
Lu Ping quickly directed people to put the table in.
There was nothing in the store before, and it didn't look too small at first glance, but once the table was put in, it was obviously crowded.
Jiang Ning walked to the door of the shop and met Luo Jinniang, the shopkeeper of Yunshanfang.
"You must be the manager of this food shop. I heard my husband talk about it, but I didn't expect you to open it today."
Luo Jinniang's gentle smile made people fall in love with her at just one glance.
"It turns out to be the boss."
Jiang Ning gave the basket to Lu Ping who came out looking for a sound, and followed Jin Niang's call into the embroidery workshop.
As soon as she entered, she saw the banners of Yunshanfang spread on the ground, also called banners, which are equivalent to modern billboards.
"Excuse me, boss, where did you make these banners? It's been almost a day since I opened, and I just remembered that I don't have a sign yet."
Luo Jinniang covered her mouth and kept laughing. This was the first time she heard that the store opened without a sign.
In fact, Jiang Ning not only didn't have a sign, she didn't even look at the auspicious day.
"You don't have to call me boss, just call me Jin Niang. I don't know what to call me..."
"Just call me Jiang Ning."
Jin Niang asked Jiang Ning to sit down, picked up the flag on the ground and showed it to her.
"I made this flag myself. I chose the fabric style and any embroidery shop can make it. You can ask the embroiderer in the embroidery shop to embroider the words, or you can find someone who can write."
Jiang Ning felt relieved, said goodbye to Jin Niang and rushed to make preparations, but was stopped by Jin Niang again.
"Wait a minute. I wanted to choose embroidery threads in the embroidery workshop today and make something for you as an opening ceremony. Since you haven't waved the flag yet, I might as well give you one directly."
Jiang Ning knew that Jin Niang was pregnant, so why bother her.
"How can I be so embarrassed? I heard your husband say that you are unwell, how dare I bother Jin Niang."
Jin Niang blushed, lowered her head and smiled timidly. Although she was feeling unwell, Jin Niang guessed that Jiang Ning should understand what kind of discomfort it was.
"Don't worry, the embroiderer is still here, so I don't need to do anything."
Jin Niang took Jiang Ning to choose fabrics, and the style was quickly decided on.
Jiang Ning went back to the shop and selected the freshly made rice balls and glutinous rice cakes and gave them to Jin Niang.
"This is food made in my shop. The brown sugar glutinous rice cake is sweet and made of glutinous rice. You...can't eat too much."
"This rice ball is made of rice, which are commonly used ingredients, so you can rest assured."
Jiang Ning didn't want to give him food, but her family had nothing else to return the favor for the time being.
