Rustling rustling!!!
The pencil made a unique sound on the notebook.
Qin Chuan was very serious and meticulous. His young face showed a calmness and determination that belied his age.
At this moment, he was redesigning furniture styles based on his memories of basic rural new house furnishings from his previous life.
For instance, at this time, many rural families stored things in two large wooden chests dyed with paint. Qin Chuan directly replaced them with wardrobes.
The dining table, which had four clumsy legs, was also redesigned by Qin Chuan into a coffee table.
Adjacent to the coffee table, of course, were sofas!
But sofas were considered high-end items in the countryside back then, and they were not cheap. Qin Chuan opted for large recliners with a high back and low front. Once a person sat down, their back would naturally lean against the chair, making it very comfortable.
Additionally, Qin Chuan designed a TV cabinet specifically for placing the television.
In the era of 98, televisions were a rare form of entertainment. Unlike later times when people rarely watched TV, their attention was all focused on their phones and computers.
"Qin Chuan, what kind of furniture are you designing? I've never seen anything like it!"
Xiong Lianshan and his son couldn't help but ask, looking like curious babies.
The discovery of beauty is human nature. From Qin Chuan's sketches in his notebook, they could already feel the uniqueness of the new furniture; it was simply beautiful and pleasing to the eye.
It was a bit like the furniture and decor seen on television…
In the year 98, interior design was still a very avant-garde concept. People's thinking was more focused on practicality and durability.
But this did not diminish their innate understanding of beauty; discovering beauty was almost a universal human ability, innate.
Qin Chuan stopped writing and pointed to the design on the notebook, explaining patiently, "This is called a wardrobe. Its function is the same as the wooden chests we used before; it's for storing clothes and items!"
"But a wardrobe will be more high-end, stylish, and tasteful than two wooden chests!"
"From now on, placing this wardrobe here will significantly elevate the overall class of the entire house…"
As Qin Chuan spoke, he walked towards a specific spot in the house, determining where the wardrobe would be placed after it was built.
"These are called a coffee table and recliners. They can be used not only for entertaining guests with tea but also as a dining table for meals."
After introducing the wardrobe, Qin Chuan went on to introduce other furniture, causing Xiong Lianshan and his son to stare with stars in their eyes.
"Dad, isn't this the new furniture and decor we often see on TV?"
Suddenly, Xiong Dongmao exclaimed.
Xiong Lianshan stared blankly, his mind quickly recalling scenes from television, and then he slapped his thigh with force, "It really looks like it!!"
"Xiao Chuan, are you sure you can really make this furniture?"
Xiong Lianshan was extremely shocked. Their conversation had attracted Qin Yang and Qin Gang, who also came over to listen.
When they learned that Qin Chuan's furniture designs in his notebook were exactly like those on TV, their eyes widened in disbelief, their expressions incredulous.
"Third brother, where did you learn all this? I never knew!"
Qin Gang asked anxiously, while Qin Yang also watched with unblinking eyes.
If Qin Chuan could truly make such fashionable furniture, it would be an extraordinary skill, a phenomenal achievement.
Frankly speaking, there might not be many people in the entire county who could make such furniture right now.
Looking at the curious crowd around him, Qin Chuan grinned and silently showed off, "What's so difficult about this? You can do it after just one look and a little thought!"
"I just learned these new furniture styles by watching television and then studied them myself!"
Qin Yang, Qin Gang, and the Xiong father and son… their mouths remained agape for a long time, feeling as if their intelligence had been severely challenged.
Since when could one learn to be a master craftsman just by watching TV? Weren't the things on TV just for entertainment and passing the time?
How come for Qin Chuan, it became a treasure trove for learning skills?
Qin Gang's eyes darted back and forth, observing Qin Chuan. If there was anyone in this world who understood his younger brother best, it would undoubtedly be him.
In the entire old Qin family, even their parents didn't understand him as well as his second brother did. In his opinion, Qin Chuan might indeed be nimble-fingered, but he was definitely not this extraordinary.
"What's going on? How did our little brother suddenly gain such amazing abilities?"
Qin Gang felt suspicious, muttering to himself, had he been too focused on chasing girls lately and neglected his younger brother?
"Uncle, these are pretty much the furniture styles I want to make. Also, to make it look nicer, we need to invest another one to two hundred yuan to whitewash these walls!"
"If you have the means, it would be best to pave the floor with bricks…"
"I guarantee you, once all this is done, your house will be the most dazzling one in the entire village, no! The entire area within a ten-mile radius!"
"When Dong Ge gets married, the furniture and decor of our new house will be incredibly magnificent!!"
Qin Chuan said to the Xiong father and son at this moment, his words filled with temptation.
This caused Xiong Lianshan and his son's expressions to change dramatically, their eyes showing longing and fantasy, although with a hint of hesitation.
"Dad, I want to go with Qin Chuan's renovation plan!"
A moment later, Xiong Dongmao was the first to speak, his whole body incredibly excited.
As expected of a young person, his thinking was more driven than the older generation. He also craved the envy and recognition of others, especially since the new house was his.
Just thinking about it now made him clench his fists in excitement.
If the renovation was done according to Qin Chuan's plan, then on his wedding day, it would be truly glorious!
Not only would he gain face, but his bride would also be delighted, and future marital bliss would be within reach.
However, Xiong Lianshan was much more level-headed than Xiong Dongmao.
After all, he was a man who had lived for decades and had been a village head for so long. He was not completely swayed by Qin Chuan's words. After a brief moment of excitement, he calmed down.
"Xiao Chuan, Uncle has a question for you!"
Xiong Lianshan looked directly into Qin Chuan's eyes.
"Uncle, feel free to ask any question you have!"
Qin Chuan acted very obediently. He felt wisdom in Xiong Lianshan's deep eyes. Although Xiong Lianshan might not have a high level of education, such a person should not be underestimated.
Their wisdom was honed through decades of life experience, and they were often more shrewd, especially when it came to financial matters.
"If we renovate and make furniture according to your plan, the cost will definitely exceed the original budget. We agreed that the price would remain unchanged!"
Xiong Lianshan said.
Qin Chuan's heart skipped a beat. He secretly sighed, realizing that experience truly made one wiser. He had hit upon the most crucial point.
His renovation plan was good, no doubt, but the cost would certainly be higher. How to deal with this issue was the most important thing at the moment!
