Black-bellied baby: mother, don't run away

Chapter 61 The Royal Carpenter 1
"It's good if you can type it out, and the price is negotiable." Xiao Qingqing said generously. "The boss will do research first. If it can be made, then I will order more objects like this. I don't know how long it will take for the boss to finish."

Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner, and the workshop is estimated to be cleaned out today.The house over there has been vacant for too long, it is very humid, and there is a musty smell inside and out. After cleaning, it needs to open the windows to dry for a few days to diffuse the smell.

The spinning machine and loom are not in a hurry, she still needs to experiment first, weave a piece of cloth and try it out.

It was the first time I saw a customer who didn't ask about the price. I saw that the girl's clothes were very high-end. Although she only wore a jade hairpin, it was still very good. She shouldn't be a liar.

"I see that the drawings drawn by my wife are very detailed. This one is more like a wheel, and it is relatively small. Since I have to study it, I can make it in about a day. The other drawing looks larger. It will take about five days." After finishing speaking, the boss glanced at Xiao Weiwei nervously, this lady seems to be very concerned about time, don't let yourself do it just because you can't do it, it's hard to come here big order.

"Ma'am, I forgot to introduce. My surname is Liu. Everyone calls me Carpenter Liu." The boss introduced himself belatedly. "The girl will come over to inspect the goods in six days."

After saying this, Carpenter Liu looked at Xiao Qingqing hesitantly.

Although it can be seen that this lady doesn't care about money, it's better to explain clearly about money in person, but how can he open his mouth like this.

Seeing Carpenter Liu like this, Xiao Weiqing felt a little funny.

From entering the door to now, she has also seen that this boss is not good at doing business.Probably because his family was the only carpenter in the town to survive.

If there is an opponent who knows how to market and has means, there must be no customers in this carpentry shop.

"Boss Liu, this is my deposit. You have to use the best wood to make it for me." Xiao gently took out ten gold coins and put them on the counter.

Ten gold coins?He had never seen so much money in his life.It seems that he is thinking too much.

"Ma'am, you won't need so much. Do you have any silver coins on you? Ordinary people make a cabinet, but it costs only one silver coin. The wood used to make these two objects, I guess, is the wood used to make two cabinets at most, plus For my manual fee, I only charge you three silver coins." Boss Liu is not a money-grubbing person, he adheres to his own principles and never charges customers more money, and has an excellent reputation.

This is also the reason why Pharaoh on East Street went bankrupt before him.

She really didn't have the habit of bringing silver coins with her when she went out. The occasional few copper coins were given to her by Xiao Baozi who didn't know where to draw them.

"I don't have any silver coins with me, otherwise, I'll pay you a gold coin." Xiao said softly.

"Ma'am, those who make furniture here generally pay half of the deposit first, and then pay the other half when the goods are inspected, or Madam will bring change when the goods are inspected, and then pay together." It's impossible for this generous wife to cheat him out of money, so he doesn't worry about it anymore, but... thinking that the rice vat at home is empty, it should be okay to stay here for another five or six days, right?
"Daddy, it's not good—" At this moment, a half-grown boy rushed in in a hurry.

"Yan'er? What's the matter?" Carpenter Liu asked.It seems to be concerned that Xiao Qingqing is in the store, and his face is a little uncomfortable.

"My grandma, my grandma has a fever—" The child who was called Yan'er was anxious and didn't know what to do.

This?How can this be good.Carpenter Liu looked at the gold coins on the counter that had not been taken back by Xiao Qingqing, and at the blueprints he just got. He really wished that the deal had been completed.

He, Carpenter Liu, has a wife and a son. Although his mother is a bit old, she still has good legs and feet.

As this man gets older, he tends to have a headache. His mother is not bad, and she doesn't get sick very much.

"Go to the doctor—" No matter how hard the family is, mother's illness is a big deal.

"But Daddy, our family doesn't even have money to buy rice." Yan'er said, it was obvious that he was very worried about his grandma.

"I know a little bit about medical skills, why don't Boss Liu ask me to show it to Ling Tang." Xiao Qingwei recommended himself.These days, Xiao Qingqing enjoys helping others by giving free medical consultations.

"Okay, okay." This lady is dressed in extraordinary clothes and knows how to see a doctor. She must not be lying.

It doesn't matter about business or anything, what matters is his mother's illness.

Yan'er leads the way.

The carpenter's shop is a shop facing the street, with a courtyard behind it, which looks like a courtyard, and their family lives in this small courtyard.

There are only three rooms in the main house, the middle one is the living room, and the two sides are bedrooms.The one on the east side of the main house is for Zhang Carpenter's mother, and the one on the west side of the main house is for Liu Carpenter and his wife.

There is a wing room for the east and west, the space is small, and there is only one room.The east wing is a firewood room, and the west wing is for geese.

When I came to Liu Carpenter's mother's room, the room was not very big. There was a bed, a table, two chairs, and a clothes cabinet in the room. When a few of them went in, it seemed a bit crowded.

Probably because they were born as carpenters for generations, the furniture and chairs in the room are all very finely crafted, and even a pattern on the chair looks lifelike.

A kind old man was lying on the bed, his eyes were closed, his face was flushed, which was a symptom of fever.

There was a woman beside the bed, who kept changing the veil for the old man on the bed.Hearing the sound of footsteps, before raising his head, he spoke first: "Master, has the doctor called?"

She asked Yan'er to find her husband because she was afraid that she would have no money, and Yan'er was a child, so she couldn't find a doctor.

"Excuse me, let me take the pulse of this mother-in-law." Xiao Qingwei came to the bedside and carefully took the old man's pulse.

Liu Carpenter's mother-in-law looked at her husband with doubts, why didn't she invite the doctor?Because I was afraid of disturbing my mother-in-law's rest, I didn't ask.

"This disease is neither big nor small. It is malnutrition and some colds. I will write a prescription. I will grab some medicine later and give it to the old lady. From now on, I will take this medicine every day. After all, the old man As you get older, your body is naturally not as good as that of young people, so you have to take good care of it." Xiao Qing said.

In a wealthy family, this is really not a disease. If you take good care of it, you may live for another three to five years. But if you live in a poor family, you can live for one more year.
He also knew that he had to take good care of his mother, but the family was struggling and couldn't even afford rice, so it was good enough to have enough to eat.

"Madam, can I lend you a gold coin first, go grab the medicine first, and pay you back the rest of the money when you get the medicine back, and pay for the rest with carpentry work." After all, Carpenter Liu said this. The rule of the line is to wait for the work to be done before collecting money.

The medicinal materials on the prescription are not cheap at first glance, and he is not sure how much work this lady can give him. If he does this, he will be suspected of buying and selling by force.This is still the money for one medicine, what should I do with the medicine money in the future?
