Sitting cross-legged on the couch, Zhao Hanzhang was writing "Thousand Character Classic." She rubbed her legs and then remembered, "Didn't we say we were going to make tables and chairs? Why haven't I seen them yet?"
Fu Tinghan replied without looking up, "The carpenters are busy."
"But now it's already winter, there's no work outside."
Fu Tinghan realized that was true, raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "Shall we let them try?"
Making tables and chairs isn't difficult. Carpenters can make wooden couches, Hu stools, and low tables. The tables and chairs Zhao Hanzhang wanted were just taller and larger; the craftsmanship is the same, only the size is different.
