The Rebirth of 88 Begins with a Carpenter

Chapter 2 Unique ingenuity, turning decay into magic

For the next seven days, the snow stopped, melted, frozen, and the soil froze.

The power of Xuehouhan also swept over.

So much so that Rhubarb at the door spends most of the time huddled in his nest, lying in the haystack, only popping his head occasionally to listen to the movement of the east room.

As the host, Wu Yuan lived and ate at the desk in the east room.

I was stunned to change the previous rustic combination cabinet into a round and natural one, with a 360-degree foreign style without dead ends.

Then brush with wood tung oil, the texture of the log color is set off more and more eye-catching, and even has the original ecological temperament pursued by later generations of solid wood furniture.

Not only that, four high and low cabinets, plus one bar cabinet, can be combined arbitrarily to change into a variety of different shapes.

Very adaptable.

The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month coincides with the Laba Festival.

The big market, which originally only meets every three or sixty-nine days, is now an exception and also has a fair.

Wu Yuan moved the combination cabinets one by one onto the flatbed truck, stuffed some rags to wrap the corners, and tied them firmly with long hemp rope.

Then go straight to Daji in Yikoujing Township.

Yikoujing Township is located on the outskirts of the city, and the market is the largest, and many city people frequent it.

Wu Yuan chose it there because he meant that this set of cabinets would be favored by wealthy people from the city, and they could be sold at a good price.

Along the way, the flatbed truck bumped along the gravel road, making Wu Jiang's hands numb from the shock.

Finally came to the market in Yikoujing Township.

Looking at it from a distance, there are so many people that you can't see the side.

In addition to the good weather today, many vendors are still coming together.

Wu Yuan picked a piece of dry land, moved down the cabinets one by one, arranged them in the most common shapes, then sat on the handlebars of the flatbed, took out dried sweet potatoes from his bag, and chewed them there.

He didn't yell, anyway, once the combination cabinet is put here, people who know the goods will naturally stop to ask the price.

And as far as he knows, although the combination cabinet is very popular in the south, it is still a new item in Beigang County.

As for the combination cabinet he brought, it is the only one in the market in more than one mile today.

It wasn't until noon, when the cool sunlight rarely warmed up, that an elderly man stopped to stay.

Stretching out his hand to touch the corners for a long time, he patted the counter and asked, "How do you sell this furniture?"

"Grandpa, this is a combination cabinet that is popular in the South. Marry your son a wife, marry your daughter as a dowry, and you will have a face. And my set of combination cabinets is the only one. You can't find the first one in Beigang. Two sets!"

"The price is one thousand and two, including door-to-door installation!"

Hearing this, the old man shrank his neck and left.

Wu Yuan was not discouraged either, he squatted down and continued to eat dried sweet potatoes.

But the elder bamboo craftsman who made the baskets next to him couldn't hold back his anger: "Little brother, you dare to call it one thousand and two, let alone today, you won't be able to sell it in ten or eight days! It's too expensive. Where can ordinary people in Beigang buy it?" Can you afford it?"

"Brother, it's really hard to say that there are people who are destined to sell goods."

Besides, Wu Yuan was also very wronged, so of course the asking price has to be higher, if you want to buy it, you can just sit back and bargain.

He left without saying a word, after all, he didn't want to buy it.

The two of them just finished talking.

Another middle-aged couple stopped in front of the combination cabinet. The woman wore a very western-style ski jacket. Compared with the bloated figures of other women, her temperament stood out immediately.

Wu Yuan noticed that the light in the woman's eyes was getting brighter and brighter, and he knew it.

Finally, after the man ordered a Yipinmei, he said, "Little brother, how do you plan to sell this combination cabinet?"

Wu Yuan leaned forward, "Brother, at first glance, you are also a connoisseur of goods. Leaving aside the price, what do you think of the craftsmanship of this combination cabinet master?"

The man exhaled a puff of smoke, felt the subtle traces of the mortise and tenon connection, and said: "This craftsmanship, there is no one that can't be done in 30 years. Little brother, this cabinet is made by your master, right?"

30 years is right.

Since I was reborn at the age of 55, isn't that the craft of more than 30 years?

Wu Yuan gave a thumbs up, "Brother is indeed an expert. This combination cabinet is indeed a master craftsman. It took half a year to build it by himself. It is the only one in Beigang County! I don't want much price , [-] to make a friend, buy it back and put it at home, it will definitely look good!"

The man glanced at the woman, then asked, "Do you include delivery and installation?"

"That's necessary, the service is at home. There is no need to bother my master for such a small matter as installation."

"Okay then, you close the cabinet and come with us."

"okay!"

Wu Yuan agreed, full of excitement.

Hearing this, the elder bamboo craftsman next to him couldn't help being envious and jealous.

One thousand and four hundred yuan.

Enough for him to weave thousands of baskets.

People are numb.

Follow the middle-aged couple all the way to the county government compound.

Wu Yuan was sweating all over, and the leftover dried sweet potato in his bosom was hot and soft.

After moving the combination cabinet upstairs in one breath, the middle-aged woman handed him a cup of hot water: "Little master, I'm sorry."

Wu Yuan took the tea cup: "Thank you, big sister, wrap it on me."

The combination cabinets are easy to install.

The main reason is that the owner needs to spend some effort to make room for the combination cabinet.

It was so busy until four or five o'clock before it completely stopped.

I took 120 cards of Great Unity from the middle-aged woman, counted them, and twirled them in my hand to confirm the feel of real money, and then thankfully pulled the flatbed and left.

On the way back, Wu Yuan was happy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

Until the township road entrance of Yikoujing, Wu Yuan pulled the flatbed all the way downhill, and went straight to the third sister's house in Xiaowei Village, Yikoujing Township.

at the same time.

Wu Xiuhua was also worried at home.

Brother Yao was sure that he was going to marry Yang Luoyan, but she told him to find a way to make money by himself, but she had already taken this matter to heart.

Ever since his parents passed away, there was only such a younger brother left in his hometown Liyuan Village.

If the family is not established, the business is not established, she, the third sister, doesn't care, who will take care of it?

Counting on the eldest sister and second sister?

Every time the eldest sister goes back to Yaodi's house, it would be nice if she doesn't take some food and cabbage with her.

As for the second sister, she is not well-off herself, and there are too many children in the family, so she is powerless at all.

The guy in Simei's family is pretty good, and he's also the village party secretary.

But Yaodi always said that he looked down on him and wouldn't listen to any explanations, so it was even more impossible to expect him to help.

It's just that Wu Xiuhua raised and raised, and even borrowed from several uncles' families, and only borrowed 600 yuan.

This is still more than half.

After paying the bride price, you can't even have money for the wedding, right?

Just then, a dog barked outside the door.

Brother Yao walked in with his second child in his arms, yelling as he walked, "Third Sister, Third Sister?"

Wu Xiuhua raised the curtain and showed her face: "Here, put Xiaowen down and tell him to play by himself."

Wu Yuan put down Xiong Wen, and still did not forget to threaten fiercely: "Let me watch you play by the river next time, uncle sees you and hits you once!"

Wu Xiuhua said nonchalantly: "Now the river is freezing, don't scare Xiaowen like that."

Wu Yuan still gave Xiaowen a grimace viciously.
