These few days Su Jiang Hai and Su Jin Long slept late and woke up early. In the end, they finally finished a cupboard, a living room cabinet, a large wardrobe with sliding doors, a side cabinet, and a chest of drawers.
At four in the morning, Su Jiang Hai harnessed the donkey cart. The father and son pair then loaded the furniture on the cart. In order to prevent them from breaking, they wrapped the furniture with a quilt then fastened them with rope.
The distance between the Su Family home and the county was about 25 kilometers. It would take them two hours to travel on a donkey cart.
There were already a few places occupied in the furniture marketplace. Su Jiang Hai had picked a location on the side of the road that faced the sun, then moved the furniture down with his son and arranged his display.
Su Jin Long happily circled the furniture made by his father a few times, "Dad, looking around, it seems as though our family's furniture is the best. When I get married in the future, you should also make a set for me!"
Su Mian swatted the back of Su Jin Long's head, "Aren't you ashamed. How old are you to think about getting married?"
Su Jin Long felt a bit embarrassed as he rubbed the back of his head, showing a set of white teeth. He was only 15 years old and would be a long time before he gets married.
"How are you going to sell this furniture? Why is it all white?"
"This is Western..." Before Su Mian was able to explain, the person turned around and walked away.
There were some people asking around, but they all left when they saw that the furniture was white.
As the sun rose, more and more people came out. During this era, rural villages were all poor. They would only begin visiting the marketplace when the twelfth lunar month began.
When Su Mian saw that there were a lot of people, she immediately spoke up, "Come and see. Take a look at the newly made Western furniture. This is the only set you could find in the city.
Su Jin Long also shouted as well. He was currently at the age where his voice begins to change. The slightly husky yet unique voice had attracted waves of customers.
A father and son pair stayed there the longest. Su Mian noticed that the older man had seen almost all the furniture in the market. In the end, they stopped here.
"Dad, I love the style of this family's furniture. It's different from the other family's furniture!" The one who spoke was around 20 years old. The young man was tall and robust with a wide smile. It was clear that he was preparing to get married and set up a new home.
The father shook his head, opened the cabinets, and knocked on the wood. "This is good wood. There should be no problem using it for decades. The workmanship is quite meticulous and the carvings feel as if they are alive. But it is unlucky that it is white, you are about to get married!"
"Uncle, I can see that you are an expert. These cabinets were created by my father based on this book." Su Mian took out the furniture book and turned to a page, "Take a look. Even the queen of Planet E used this model for her marriage. It's not yet popular in Planet Erya but in a few years, you will not be able to buy them at this price anymore!"
"Even queens use this?" The older man appeared to have been persuaded by Su Mian. He took the book and carefully examined the pictures.
"Dad, let's buy this set. I like it. Besides, I am the one getting married, not you..."
The old man fiercely glared at the young man and he stopped speaking. He pointed at the cupboard on the size and asked, "How much is this?"
"25." Su Mian let out a mischievous laugh.
"I want this first!" The older man finally gave in.
"You really are my father!" The young man hurriedly paid, afraid that his father would regret it. He immediately picked up the cupboard with another young man and took off.
Excluding the manufacturing cost of 10 eris, the cupboard yielded a net profit of 15 eris. Su Mian became so happy as this was the largest sum of money she had seen after being reborn.
She gripped the money tightly in her hands in fear that they would grow wings and fly away.
"Sis, let me see, let me see. I have never seen a great unity before!" Su Jin Long moved his head closer.
The great unity was equivalent to 10 eris. It was also the biggest face value of the era. Su Mian's eyes reddened at the thought that her little brother had not seen a great unity before. She had handed one to let Su Jin Long take a look.
"Sis, are you really giving this to me?" Su Jin Long's eyes suddenly glittered with surprise and happiness.
