Chapter Nineteenth New-Style Furniture

  In the living room, Huang Yueying invited everyone to sit down. In the middle of the living room was a tea table surrounded by a circle of sofas. People from the Han Dynasty usually sat on their knees, so Zhuge Jin's family didn't know where to sit. Ling'er quickly plopped herself down on the sofa and pulled her two younger brothers down beside her.

  Two little boys sat on the sofa thinking it was fun, bouncing vigorously. Zhuge Jin asked: "Xiao Jun, what is this?"

  Zhuge Jun supported Erniang in sitting down and said to Zhuge Jin: "Big brother, this is called a sofa. You try sitting on it."

  Everyone sat down, and the elder sister said: "It's really comfortable, much more comfortable than kneeling. Your family has a lot of good things."

  Zhuge Jin saw a table placed on one side of the living room, with pen, ink, paper and inkstone on it, and a chair in front of it. He walked over, sat down, picked up a pen and wrote a few words, feeling that it was more convenient than writing while kneeling. He said: "Xiao Jun, this method is not bad, you can make some more, and sell them at a good price."

  Zhuge Jun smiled, and this big brother also has an economic mind. He said: "Big brother really has vision, my younger brother is just thinking of it, I plan to open a wood processing factory, specializing in the production of furniture and wooden toys. When you leave later, take some furniture with you, and do some advertising for my younger brother."

  "What is advertising?"

  He told Zhuge Jin: "Advertising is a wide announcement, the meaning of publicity."

  Sister-in-law has already understood, smiling and saying: "Xiao Jun, you're really good at doing business. We'll take the furniture back home, and when guests ask, I'll say it's made by you guys, is that what you mean?"

  Huang Yueying said: "Elder sister is really clever, she understood as soon as I explained it."

  She was delighted by her praise and said: "Oh no, I'm not comparable to you, you're a famous talented woman!"

  Zhuge Jin said: "Xiao Jun, give me another set, I'll send someone to deliver it to Lu Su"

  "Let him help you advertise too."

  Zhuge said: "Alright, when you leave, I'll have someone see you off."

  It was almost noon, and Ling'er said she was hungry and shouted to have lunch. Erniang, who only ate two meals a day, smiled and said: "It's just been a few hours, and Ling'er is already hungry?"

  Ling'er understood why she said that and said: "Second sister, we eat three meals a day. That's why others are hungry."

  The elder sister-in-law found it strange that this younger uncle's home was different from others in every way.

  Huang Yueying said: "Second sister, elder sister, I know you're not hungry. If so, let's eat on the pleasure boat and take a stroll around Jinji Lake."

  Two families were drifting on a pleasure boat on the lake. A table was placed in the middle of the boat, and the servants began to prepare dinner.

  Huang Yueying saw that everything was ready and invited everyone to take a seat.

  On the table, a copper hot pot was filled with milky soup that was about to boil. A segment of green onion and a slice of bright red chili floated on the surface of the soup. Several small pickled dishes were arranged on the table.

  Next to the table stood a wooden rack, on which were placed several plates of clean ingredients, including thinly sliced lamb, tripe, lotus root, tofu, meatballs and so on, as well as potato slices, cabbage, mushrooms and various green vegetables.

  In front of each person was placed an empty plate and a delicate small ceramic bowl, inside which was sesame paste, and on the table there was also a seasoning box for people to choose from.

  Huang Yueying introduced the way of eating, and everyone started enjoying it.

  This side of the child has already eaten, and also knows how to take care of his younger brother. Zhuge Ke picked up a piece of well-cooked mutton, dipped it in seasoning and put it in his mouth, his eyes suddenly widened, he swallowed a few mouthfuls, and then hastily scooped up several more pieces of mutton into his mouth, so that he was scalded a little, with his small mouth open, panting continuously.

  Sister-in-law smiled and helped him put some on his plate, saying: "Slow down, no one is competing with you"

  。”

  Zhuge Jin savored it for a while and said, "This way of eating really does have some unique characteristics. You can also open a restaurant like this." He was indeed considerate of his younger brother.

  Zhuge Yun shook his head and said, "The weather here is too hot, we are on the lake surface, eating comfortably, but it's not okay in the house. Our Han Dynasty clothes are too thick and heavy. I have an idea, when there is a chance in the future, to open a chain store in the north."

  Everyone ate with great relish, and Second Lady said: "It's really delicious, I'm stuffed."

  After dinner, I drank some juice with ice cubes in it. After sweating a lot, drinking it made me feel refreshed all over. The two kids finished one bowl and shouted that they wanted to drink more.

  Suzhou also freezes in winter, but it's very thin and can't be stored. Zhuge Jin asked in surprise: "Where did this ice come from?"

  Zhuge Jun ordered a servant to bring a basin, pour in water, and put some saltpeter in it. Then he brought another basin, poured in boiling water, and soon the boiling water turned into ice.

  Everyone looked at him in surprise. Zhuge Jun said, "Brother, sister-in-law, this must be kept secret, my brother is still planning to open an ice factory to make money."

  Zhuge Jin smiled and said: "Right, we must keep it a secret."

  In the afternoon, Huang Yueying and her sister-in-law settled the soap distribution business and handed over the soap to her sister-in-law for packaging. In order to establish their own marketing network, Cha Ye and others planned to sell it themselves. The product brand is called Inviting Moon Brand.

  In the evening, Erniang said she wanted to stay here for a few days, and the two children didn't want to leave either. Dajie said to Zhuge Jin: "Husband, if not, you can go back first, we'll stay here for a few days and then go back."

  Zhuge Jin smiled and agreed, then left himself.

  Zhuge Jin held an important position, and every day there were people visiting his home; Lu Su was even more so. When guests showed interest in the furniture in their homes, they both recommended the furniture of Yueliang Mountain Villa, and this new-style furniture quickly became popular in Eastern Wu.

  Huang Yueying and her team worked at full capacity, but they still couldn't meet demand.

  A few days later, Zhuge Jin sent a message saying that Zhuge's army should prepare several sets of furniture, as the Marquis of Wu wanted to use them.
