1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 71 Timber
A day later, Luo Tao went to see Lao Zhangtou and asked him about Master Wang.

As soon as I entered the store, I saw a woman in her early 30s. She was none other than Lao Zhangtou's disciple-in-law and Wuhua's first wife.

Her name is Yang Jing. She used to work as a temporary worker in the street office, and her salary was only a little over 20 yuan.

After Lao Zhangtou found out about her situation and that she was literate, he hired her as a front desk clerk.

There are a total of six people in this furniture store, including three master carpenters and an apprentice who has been studying for four or five years. Together with Lao Zhangtou and Yang Jing, they have not exceeded the number of people stipulated by the state.

There are many tables, chairs, coffee tables and wardrobes in the store, and these are all samples left for customers to see.

"Mr. Luo, you are here." Yang Jing saw Luo Tao and stepped forward to say hello. She knew that Luo Tao was also one of the bosses.

"Well, have you seen your master?" It's okay for Yang Jing to call him Master Zhangtou.

"Oh, he's always behind. Do you want me to call him?"

"Forget it, I'll go by myself, you're busy."

As Luo Tao spoke, he went to the backyard and saw him sawing wood with Wu Hua in the yard.

"Hey, you can do it. You can still pull such a big saw."

Lao Zhang said without looking at Luo Tao: "You don't even know what we do. We just rely on this to make a living. What instructions do you have here today?"

"I don't dare to give instructions. I asked you for a person. I don't know Master Wang, do you know where it is?"

"Ask little Liu Lang about this, he should know."

Luo Tao thought about how he got Liu Lang involved, "Does he know?"

"Well, that kid came a few days ago and said he was Master Wang."

"Oh, you're always busy, I'll have a good chat with you when I have time." Luo Tao was about to walk away.

"Stop, do you want your dividend? I'll accept it all if you don't want it."

Hey, is the old man so shameless?

"Who said I don't want it anymore? Let's divide it at the end of the year. The first quarter is too troublesome."

"Hey, I'll sort out the accounts every quarter, but you said so, why do you think it's troublesome now?"

"Why are you so stubborn and don't know how to change things?

Let’s go back once a year from now on!Now that we have Sister Jing at the front desk, the accounts in this store will be settled once a month from now on."

Luo Tao thought about the convenience of having his own dividends come once a year. The store's accounts were cleared once a month, so that the accounts would be clear and intuitive, and problems could be discovered early.

"Is there nothing else?" Old Zhangtou looked a little unhappy. It would be nothing if Luo Tao didn't come, and nothing good would happen if he came.

"Also, don't forget about this shop. This is a big deal." Luo Tao still reminded him of this top priority.

"This matter has some clues. Once the house is returned to that family, we can use more money to buy it. And why are you looking for Master Wang today?"

"I bought the house next door and plan to renovate it. Is it grand enough?" Luo Tao raised his eyebrows to show off.

"Hey, you can do it, kid. That house costs more than 2000 square meters at least. It's quite impressive."

When Lao Zhangtou thought back to the house he passed by on his way to the Luo family, he was shocked. He didn't expect to actually buy it.

The more he watched Luo Tao, the less he understood. Nowadays, young people like new things, but he likes old things on the contrary. He has a job but is a second-rate dealer who is looked down upon by others.

How could this world change so quickly?

It’s understandable to buy a house, but you’re too strong-willed. If you like it, you’ll buy it. Don’t you think this idiot is holding back his anger?

"Haha, that's right. You have time to go there these days. I need your help with some things."

"Is there anything else to do with me?" Lao Zhangtou was confused. It's fine to make furniture here. There's no need to go home.

"Well, the house has two floors. I want to get some bookshelves to display my antiques. I don't know how much wood I will need."

"Okay, I'll go take a look tomorrow. What materials do you need for the wood?"

"It's best to use good wood. Hehe, I don't mind if it's all golden nanmu."

Luo Tao really dares to think that even if it is not golden nanmu, it is also huanghuali. As long as it is of the best quality, we will not pick it.

"Can I still find some golden nanmu?" Old Zhangtou pretended to be mysterious.

"Hey, where can I find it?" This is an opportunity!
"Yuan Shuncheng!" Old Zhang said seriously.

"Isn't it state-owned? How could we still have that wood?" Luo Tao didn't believe how such good wood could be left unused.

"Hey, you didn't know this, right? Those few sticks were purchased at the end of the 60s, just in time for the ten-year trend, and they have been sitting around for a long time without any use. Do you want to keep them?"

Lao Zhangtou looked confident, it seemed that he had been targeting him for a long time.

"Why don't you want such a good thing? Just ask if you can buy it!" Luo Tao didn't ask the price, as long as he could buy it, money didn't matter.

“The price could be much higher”

"It can't be tens of thousands per stick, right?"

"That won't happen. One stick will still cost a few hundred yuan."

Hearing what Lao Zhangtou said, Luo Tao thought a little more. It was so cheap and he actually said it was expensive. Besides, why didn't he buy it himself?

"That's okay. Just ask if you have nothing to do. If you can, just pay for it and save yourself a lot of sleep."

"I'll go after a while, but..." Lao Zhangtou had something to say, but he was a little embarrassed.

"But what?"

Luo Tao also doesn't like other people's half-talk, which makes people's appetites interesting.

"Hey, it's not a big deal. I want to make two chairs. I don't know what to do?"

"Ahem, that's it. How about I let you make a three-piece suit?"

What else did Luo Tao think?That's it, no matter what, the old man's wish must be fulfilled.

"That's a good thing, then Haihuang and Zitan can get you dozens of squares."

Oops, this old Zhang's head is swollen. If you think it weighs tens of kilograms, it's tens of tons. Good guy, this is not a big deal.

If you put a house full of sea yellow and red sandalwood, you will be able to beat Ms. Chen. It will be fun just thinking about it.

"Hehe, you always take care of things, the more the merrier. You are always busy, I'll go find Liu Lang." Luo Tao planned to leave when he saw nothing else.

"Well, you are also delaying my work here."

"Come on, I won't bother you. Goodbye, Brother Hua."

Luo Tao laughed at himself, said hello to Wu Hua and left.

"Hey, please walk slowly," he replied with a dull temper.

Luo Tao left Dashilan and went to Liu Lang's house in Xidan. By coincidence, this boy was at home.

When Liu Lang saw Luo Tao coming, he hurried forward to greet him.

"Brother, what brought you here? You are such a rare visitor. Please go to the courtyard quickly."

Luo Tao smiled and waved his hand, "No, I have something to ask you. Say hello and I will go back."

When Liu Lang heard what Luo Tao said, he let him in without being polite. Then he handed him the cigarette and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Master Wang, do you know where it is?"

"Oh, I know. He lives over there in the cattle market. What do you want from him?"

"Of course I'm looking for him to repair the house. Do you have time now?" Luo Tao took a few puffs of cigarette and asked Liu Lang.

"Brother, I just have a lot of time now. My brothers always refuse to take me south. I have nothing to do recently."

Liu Lang was very curious about going south and complained about it for a long time.

"It's a mess over there. What can you do if you go there? Just get things done in the capital. Don't think about so many useless things. Remember not to make trouble.

When you have free time, take a look around the city. There are houses for sale there, and ask about the wind direction. Don't act like a gangster every day. "

Luo Tao said to Liu Lang earnestly, this guy is still a fool, not as smooth as his brother.

"Hey, brother, I know. If it's okay, I'll go and ask now."

Liu Lang doesn't dare to disobey Luo Tao. If you don't listen to Big Brother, what else do you want to do?

"You go to the cattle market to find Master Wang, I'll wait for you at home."

Luo Tao threw away the cigarette, then stomped it out with his foot, Liu Lang handed him another one, and Luo Tao waved his hand to let him call for someone first.

"Well, I'll go right now"

"Okay, I'll wait for you home. I'm back."

Luo Tao pedaled back to Baihua Courtyard and waited for the arrival of Master Wang.
