Chapter 30 Sofa

A few days ago, when Qin Zhao "interviewed" the villagers in the village's gravel field. The business of the business had already been decided. Qin Zhao found a carpenter who had an appointment with him and asked him to make a sofa frame. He also found two middle-aged women with good needlework in the village and asked them to make sofa covers and spring covers. Then he hired four handymen to fix springs and do odd jobs.

There is a cover on the outside of each spring of the sofa. With these covers, the springs can be more stable in the installation position and will not be entangled with other springs.

The springs were sent down from the Chiyun Peak, and then Qin Zhao took the hired workers to assemble the sofa. First, he put all the springs on the wooden base of the sofa. At the top of the circular spring is a layer of snake springs, providing greater surface tension. On the snake spring, a very tightly stuffed sponge cover is laid.

After installing the sponge cover, use a sofa cover made by a tailor to cover it, and nail the key parts firmly with big nails.

The first sofa in the world was released.

After the sofa was finished, Qin Zhao sat up there and felt unprecedented comfort.

The spring is very elastic, and the entire hip is almost completely trapped into the sponge mat. The support force that the hips can bear on any unit area is very small, and the body is very relaxed.

Qin Zhao sat on the sofa, leaning on the back of the sofa, placing his hands on the handle wrapped in a sponge on the sofa, feeling the comfort that should have only been in later generations, and was in a good mood.

This sofa has been successfully manufactured.

Qin Zhao stood up and let Qin Youli sit on the sofa.

As soon as Qin Youli sat on it, he said in surprise: "My master, this spring soft chair is too soft, right? I feel that my lower body has fallen into it!"

Qin Zhao asked, "Is it comfortable?"

Qin Youli nodded and replied, "It's so comfortable. Whether you are standing, sitting or lying on the bed, you have never felt so comfortable. This is really an enjoyment I have never had!"

Sitting on the sofa, Qin Youli asked: "Master, this sofa costs three taels of Sugang to be made. The cost of this sofa is basically all on Sugang. How much does it cost to sell the sofa?"

Qin Zhao nodded and said, "The cost is ten taels of silver, so let's sell twenty taels of each. Rich people have to make a pair in the main hall, and forty taels of silver is not too much."

Qin Youli said, "It's a little over forty taels."

Qin Zhao thought for a while and said, "Forty taels are a bit too much, or give me some discount, sixteen taels per one."

Qin Youli said again: "It's better to give some discounts on the first day, fourteen taels per, and spread the business first."

Qin Zhao smiled and said, "Let's make a few more quickly, make more than ten, and then transport them to Guangzhou for sale."

Qin Youli said something good, then he reluctantly bounced hard and stood up from the first sofa.

...

Yin Xinde’s home sells Gan cloth in Guangzhou.

Since the sea ban was opened during the Longqing period, Guangzhou Prefecture has become a place where Tongfan ships gather. Tongfan ships want to sell Chinese specialties abroad, buy goods in Guangzhou City, sell goods from overseas, and sell goods in Guangzhou. There is a Pearl River Wharf leading to the South China Sea, and an official road connecting various prefectures and counties, and gradually becomes the largest commodity distribution base in Lingnan.

Although the Yin family's store is only open in Guangzhou, its business has reached the entire eastern Guangdong. If you want to buy Gan cloth in the ten prefectures and one state in eastern Guangdong, you will all come to the Yin family in Guangzhou.

How rich is the Yin family? That can only be said to be a flock of mules and horses, and rice and wheat are in warehouses. What is the concept of flocking mules and horses? Nowadays, a pack of horses in Guangzhou City has to be sold for 100 taels of silver. Flocking mules and horses means that just measuring those mules and horses, the Yin family has nearly 1,000 taels of assets.

The storefront of his house is five spacious, and there are seven inlets and seven inlets in and out of the house. The roads between the yards are circling, and no one can lead the way to make people dizzy.

Yin Xinde is the eldest son of the Yin family. He is just 30 years old this year. His father is taking care of his family's business, and a group of tribe members are helping in the business, and he doesn't have anything to do. He wanders around Guangzhou every day, wanders around the kilns and trample, and makes seven or eight friends who call friends to attract friends.

On this day, he took his three righteous brothers to listen to the opera from the Meihua Building and walked west along Hongliu Road, but suddenly he saw a new shop open next to the opera building.

There is a large red paint sign hanging on the shop: "Qin's spring soft chair."

An Yijinshi's brother from Yin Xinde said, "Hey! It's amazing. Yesterday, it was a silk and cloth shop. Today I changed the store sign and sold the furniture!"

Yin Xinde pointed to the sign and smiled: "What spring soft chair? Is it as soft as my concubine's legs? I sit on the concubine's legs every day when I go back, which is so comfortable?"

The concubines in this era are very different from wives. The status of the concubine at home is only a little higher than that of the slaves and cannot participate in important family affairs at all. If the concubine is not favored, the status is even worse than that of the slaves appreciated by the master. Therefore, Yin Xinde's behavior of not knowing how to cherish the concubine's thighs as a cushion is not shocking.

An honest brother from Yin Xinde said, "Brother is such a bad thing. You sit in the room with your concubine's legs as cushions. What if a guest comes? If a guest comes, it is too late to hide in the room. How can you stretch your white legs as cushions for you?"

Another brother-in-law said: "This makes sense. Although the gold-painted red-painted chair in the eldest brother's house is cushioned, it is still not soft enough. After sitting for a long time, his butt hurts. If this family really has a spring soft chair that makes people feel comfortable, it would be worth the eldest brother's spending a few taels of silver."

Yin Xinde sneered and said, "Okay! Then go in and see what the family's spring soft chair is from!"

Four people flirted with the front panel and walked towards Qin Zhao's shop in a big way.

As soon as he entered the store, Yin Xinde was attracted by the well-made sofas.

He reached out to pinch the back of the sofa, and pinched it on the thick compacted sponge, and couldn't help but exclaim: "So soft!"

"Boss! Is the water sponge here?"

Lingnan folk customs, called shop owners, this folk custom has existed since the Ming Dynasty.

Qin Zhao was sitting in the shopkeeper's seat and saw the customer coming to the door. He thought about it and went over.

"The guest is right. Our spring chair is just a soft word! The cushion is soft, the backrest is soft, the armrest is soft, the overall upper and lower parts are soft, and it is very comfortable to sit on."

Yin Xinde looked at Qin Zhao and felt that the store was not as powerful as a businessman. However, he hurriedly squeezed other parts of the sofa and found that the parts of the hand were also soft. Finally, he put his hand on the sofa cushion and touched it, but was scared.

"What is the cushion of this chair? Why is it so soft?"

One of his righteous brothers also touched the sofa cushion with his hands. When he squeezed, he found that half of his fingers were squeezed down, and the more his fingers squeezed down, the more elastic they felt.
