The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"Then... Sir, if this is feasible, do you want to send it?" asked Lao Zhao.

"Send it, of course. In this way, whether it is Keyuelou or the brothel in Pingkangfang, discuss with them and vacate a private room. Our workshop people will do the decoration for them, free of charge." Li Fu said with a smile: "This thing is called a model room. If they think the effect is good and the customers are satisfied in the future, they will naturally come to us again."

"At that time, even the previous decoration money can be recovered. Lao Zhao, let Ma Shisan do this. After everything here is almost done, let him go back to the farm. It's best to choose someone from the furniture workshop. You can't let him run back and forth between Chang'an and Jingyang all the time. There should be someone who can do the job."

As for manpower, Li Fu has been asking Lao Zhao to find it, but it is not easy to find a mature shopkeeper like Ma Shisan.

Most of them can only be cultivated slowly by themselves.

"Select the old people who came from Jinyang to see if there are any knowledgeable and useful ones. Now when we need people, we can promote them as an exception."

Li Fu urged.

"Yes, my lord." Old Zhao bowed and responded.

Some furniture has been placed in the palace, and I believe the effect will be shown soon.

The workshop will not lack orders by then, and if they take the initiative to make model rooms for people in restaurants and brothels, more people will be interested in it.

And the furniture shops in the East Market will also be patronized.

In Li Fu's idea, one workshop has one shopkeeper, and in the end, if there are particularly outstanding talents, a big shopkeeper will be set up to lead the shopkeepers of various workshops, and finally check the accounts, including the rewards and promotions of personnel, and the discretion of the big shopkeeper, and finally report to him.

If he wants to be lazy, Li Fu has to get these early structures done. Otherwise, he has to go through everything again. In the end, there are a lot of things accumulated, which does not meet his ultimate goal of eating, drinking and having fun as a landlord.

The next morning, as soon as the furniture shop in the East Market opened the door and removed the door panel, he saw someone waiting outside. It seemed that they were servants of the wealthy families in Chang'an City.

"Please come in, sir." The shop assistant hurriedly invited the person in.

"Is this shop selling furniture?" the person who came in asked.

"Yes." The assistant said: "Look, sir, these are all displayed in the shop."

The assistant introduced enthusiastically to the guests who came in.

"This is a chair, this is a round table, this is a square table, this is a bed, and this big one here is a step-out bed. These are the most basic styles. If the customer has other needs, we can customize them according to the drawings." The waiter said as he returned to the counter and took out a stack of drawings.

"Look, customer, these are all the drawings that can be customized at present, from the tables, chairs and benches in the front, to the various furniture in the back, and finally this step-out bed." The waiter said: "This step-out bed, you see the bed curtains hanging on it, put down layer by layer, it is a relatively closed small room, people live in it, the sleeping place is small, it can gather qi.

Also, this step-out bed is placed in the room, and the bottom layer of boards separates it from the ground, and the sleeping place inside is also raised, which can better isolate the cold and moisture on the ground."

The waiter introduced it endlessly, and the customer who came listened and nodded repeatedly.

"Can I take your drawings back and choose them again?" The customer asked.

"This." The clerk looked embarrassed and said helplessly: "I'm really sorry, sir, because this set of drawings is the only one prepared and placed in this shop for customers to choose. If you take it back, we will have nothing to show to the next customers, so this drawing cannot leave the shop."

"In that case, I will go home and ask, and then I will come again. Thank you, young man."

"I dare not." The clerk bowed in return.

The drawings cannot be taken away by them. First, there are not so many sets prepared. Second, reading drawings is not a unique skill. Find a carpenter, see the drawings, try a few times, and maybe he can imitate it.

If someone imitates it, how can the furniture workshop expect to make money?

Of course, there will be imitations, but as long as Li Fu's workshop is the leader in the industry, then in the future, the dignitaries in Chang'an City will think of them first when they want to customize furniture.

This is called a "brand effect".

Not to mention, they are original, with all kinds of freshStyles and the latest drawings will all come from them, not from those small imitation workshops.

In fact, the main feature of furniture produced by furniture workshops is comfort and novelty.

Datang also had furniture, and the furniture of wealthy families was also very gorgeous and harmonious.

For example, the small legs of the crescent stool, the legs of the table and the bed, were all decorated with delicate carvings and paintings, which were very delicate.

However, the bed in Datang was not the same as the bed in the furniture workshop, but a Hu bed, similar to a Ma Zha, which could be folded and easy to carry. Some of them also had backrests at the back, which was similar to a recliner.

The sleeping bed was relatively large and placed in the bedroom. It was not high and was covered with mats, which was the "tatami" that was passed on to Japan.

The sitting bed was placed in the hall. Daily sitting, lying and eating could be done on the bed, and even important guests were met on the bed, which had a function similar to a sofa.

When Li Fu went to the Qin Palace and sat with Li Shimin and others, he sat on the throne. He walked in front of the throne, took off his shoes, sat on it, and talked about the doctrine.

In addition, there are chairs, which are called "Yizi" in the Tang Dynasty. There are straight, curved, and circular ones. Basically, they are placed on the couch and used as a backrest when sitting.

These drawings drawn by Li Fu can be said to be "subverting tradition" in the Tang Dynasty.

However, after actual experience, they are very comfortable, so it is not a problem to become popular in the future.

As for the exquisite furniture with painted and carved pendants in the homes of wealthy families, they are all "soft furnishings" on furniture, which can be made in workshops.

It's nothing more than private customization, which requires extra money.

The furniture shop seems to have a good business. In the morning, many people came, but they all came to inquire and then said they would come next time.

The guys in the shop also know that it is usually the servants of wealthy families who come, and they cannot make a decision.
