Chapter 130

Xu Jingxing noticed this detail, and gave another round of secret compliments. This little girl is so sensible. When she does things, she is orderly and polite. She looks like a little adult. She is natural and unaffected. Nothing to fault, except for the fact that he still called him uncle.

But he didn't bother to correct it, the little girl could yell whatever she liked.

During the meal, old man He asked about his family situation intentionally or unintentionally, then about his work situation, and finally about his future plans.

He didn't hide anything, he didn't say what he couldn't say, he said what he could say, and finally said that he planned to open a shop, and told his vision.

Old man He nodded straightly after hearing this, "Yes, it's good to open a store. It's a waste of your craftsmanship to set up a street stall in the antique market. When do you plan to open it? I'll go to support it too."

"Hey, it's still early to open. Now it's just a concept. I haven't even paid the rent. It's not easy to open a store now. The initial investment is higher than buying a house."

"Haha, that is, our island city was one of the former metropolises no matter what. Before liberation, it was a bit like a small Shanghai. At that time, the craftsmen, entertainers and entertainers traveled all over the country, and the island city was also a must. The place where we are going," the old man He laughed, and then asked: "Do you need help? I have some spare money."

Xu Jingxing quickly waved his hand, "I appreciate your kindness, but I'm really not in a hurry. It won't be too late to start the business after earning enough rent."

"How much is that?"

"Uh, three or 40." Xu Jingxing was a little embarrassed. Excluding the 30 reserved for his younger sister, he only had 30 to use now, which was less than half of the budgeted cost of him and Yang Liu.

Old man He didn't say to lend him money this time, but thought for a while and said, "How about I introduce you to a job?"

"You can have this," Xu Jingxing nodded quickly, what is a network, and what is the role of a network?At this time, it is reflected that the network is built step by step in this way, and the benefit from the network is also like this bit by bit. The reputation of the craftsman can be spread, in fact, most of them are passed on by word of mouth.

Old man He nodded, "That's it, I'll take you there tomorrow."

This is the rhythm of helping people to the end and sending Buddha to the west, Xu Jingxing quickly thanked him.

After eating, I sat for a while before leaving.

The people in Daocheng ate dinner relatively early, and it was not completely dark when they finished eating. He first went to the hospital to visit his sister, and talked with her for a while before returning home.

When he got home, he still had other work to do, which was to design furniture for Xu Zhikang.

Xu Zhikang asked him to help him make a set of small-leaf red sandalwood furniture. He wanted to use it to test the water, and planned to use it to open up the mahogany furniture market. Therefore, the requirements for this set of furniture were relatively strict. He made two sketches a few days ago, and Xu Zhikang did not Too satisfied, let him work harder.

Xu Jingxing was not bothered either. Craftsmen often encountered this kind of situation when they were working. It could even be said that this kind of situation was the norm. Wan's high-end mahogany furniture.

It's just that Xu Zhikang's requirements are indeed a bit high. It needs to be traditional, but not too old-fashioned, and it has to adapt to modern people's aesthetics. To put it bluntly, the specific standard doesn't feel right, so Xu Jingxing should make more adjustments.

Xu Jingxing adjusted it quite a few times, and in the past few days he was free to think about how to adjust it. This time, he finally had a rough draft.This time, he referred to the traditional furniture styles of the Ming and Qing dynasties. The shape and structure were based on the Ming Dynasty style, and the decoration adopted the popular appearance in the mid-Qing Dynasty.

The Ming and Qing dynasties were the most classic periods of traditional furniture, each with its own advantages. The furniture in the Ming Dynasty was all combined with mortise and tenon structures. Moreover, the structural design is quite scientific. The furniture handed down from the Ming Dynasty is still as firm as ever, and it can be disassembled and reinstalled without affecting the use at all.

It’s just that the furniture style of the Ming Dynasty is a little worse than that of the Qing Dynasty in terms of decoration. Although there are some decorative components, they are a little worse than those of the Qing Dynasty. There is that kind of extremely delicate and complicated craftsmanship.

For people with taste, pure Ming-style furniture is really no worse than Qing-style furniture.However, for the general public, Ming-style furniture is too plain, and ordinary people cannot appreciate it.

Therefore, Xu Jingxing simply combined the furniture styles of the Ming and Qing dynasties together, based on the structure and shape of the Ming-style furniture, embellished with the decoration of the Qing-style furniture, and made such a sketch, regardless of whether it was midnight or not. Yes, send it directly to Xu Zhikang, and then go to sleep.

Early the next morning, I received a call from old man He, asking him to have breakfast.

He looked at the time dumbfounded, it was only six o'clock, and he invited people to have breakfast, this old man is simply...

But he still washed and changed his clothes neatly, and drove this car to Picaiyuan. Picaiyuan is the most famous snack street in the island city. If you want to eat delicious food, it is absolutely right to go there. Classic Lu restaurant.

Xu Jingxing has also been here before, and he likes the steamed leek and egg dumplings and beef stuffed pot stickers here. One person can eat more than a catty, and he can also drink a bowl of tender and refreshing tofu nao. Not only him, but the people of Daocheng seem to be Everyone likes this one, especially the authentic Laodaocheng people.

When he arrived, the old man and his granddaughter were waiting for him at the intersection. Seeing his car, the old man was a little surprised, "Your car?"

Xu Jingxing didn't explain much, "Borrowing from a friend for a few days," and then asked with a smile, "Uncle He, this early morning treat me to breakfast, could it have something to do with what you did yesterday?"

Old man He nodded, "Exactly, my friend comes here every day to eat pot stickers, and I will introduce you to each other later."

Xu Jingxing guessed it on the way here, but he was still a little uneasy, "What is that person's identity? What kind of work is he going to do? You should give me some insight first, otherwise I won't know."

"Hey, I don't have any identity. I'm just an ordinary old man. However, I have some spare money, so I ran to the south to get a large piece of Qingtian stone and came back with great interest. I have been thinking about carving a good mountain ornament, but I have been I haven't found a reliable engraver, and I'm worried," Old Man He said and waved, "Come on, let's go in, that old guy is already eating."
