Chapter 325 Negotiations
When he arrived at Wang Sanbao's house, Mrs. Gao was going to cook supper again.

Yan Xiaosi had already had dinner at Tian's house, so she didn't really want to eat supper. Gao was very enthusiastic, saying that if he went to the old carpenter's house at this time, maybe he was having dinner, but Gao couldn't help it, so he had to eat nonsense again. Hai stuffed a meal, stretching his stomach round.

After supper, I burped and followed Wang Sanbao to the old carpenter's house to knock on the door.

"Brother Zhao, sister-in-law Zhao, are you asleep?"

Carpenter Zhao came to open the door and saw a strange young man besides Wang Sanbao, so he asked, "Brother Sanbao, it's so late, what's the matter with you?"

He knew that Wang Sanbao was helping someone build a house recently, so he looked at Yan Xiaosi twice more, hoping that Yan Xiaosi came to find him to work.

Because he was old and his hands and feet were not good enough, he went to the carpenter's shop in the town to find work, but no one wanted him, and no one asked him to do woodwork. Only Wang Sanbao occasionally introduced him to some jobs.

Wang Sanbao said: "Brother Zhao, I came to see you so late, naturally I have something important to tell you, can we go into the house."

Let Yan Xiaosi stand outside the door all the time, feeling a little neglected.

Carpenter Zhao hurriedly stepped aside: "Brother Sanbao, this little brother, please come in."

Yan Xiaosi followed Wang Sanbao into the yard of Carpenter Zhao's house.

Although the yard is not big, the grape trellises in the yard are very unique, and the doors and windows are also embossed.

Carpenter Zhao noticed that Yan Xiaosi was looking at the grape trellis in the yard with great interest, and said with a smile, "I built this when I was bored, little old man."

Yan Xiaosi withdrew his gaze and praised sincerely: "The Putao House is very uniquely built, and the reliefs on the doors and windows are also very beautiful."

Carpenter Zhao smiled, invited the two into the main room, and ordered the wife to make tea and a plate of peanuts.

Wang Sanbao drank a bowl of tea to moisten his throat and said, "Brother Zhao, I have been helping Brother Yan's house during this period of time. The house is already under construction. Now Brother Yan wants to find a good carpenter." Make furniture, so I recommended you to Brother Yan."

Carpenter Zhao expressed gratitude.

"Brother Sanbao, thank you. In the past two years, thanks to you for introducing me to work, otherwise my family's livelihood would have been a problem."

"Neighbors and fellow villagers should help each other, but brother Zhao, don't be in a hurry to thank me, I just recommended you to brother Yan, whether or not brother Yan will use you depends on brother Yan's decision. "

"That's that."

Carpenter Zhao shifted his gaze to Yan Xiaosi's body, looking expectant.

He had no work for two or three months. In order to support his family, he had to make some benches and chairs to sell in the market. However, there were many people selling benches and chairs, and the business was very difficult.

Yan Xiaosi took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Carpenter Zhao.

"Master Zhao, this is the furniture pattern I drew, you can see if you can do it first."

The carved wooden beds of this era were complicated to make and uncomfortable to sleep on, so she drew the shape of the Simmons bed, and the other paintings were simple wooden sofas, round tables, tall wardrobes and rocking chairs.

Carpenter Zhao nodded after seeing it, "Brother Yan, I can do all the things you drew."

Although he had never seen the furniture patterns given to him by Brother Yan, such furniture was much easier to build than ordinary relief furniture.

"Can you do it well?"

Yan Xiaosi's requirements for the bed are a bit high, she spends half of her life in bed, she doesn't want to sleep in a creaky bed.

Carpenter Zhao replied decisively: "It can be done well, this kind of furniture is relatively simple to make."

Since it was recommended by Wang Sanbao, Yan Xiaosi believed it.

According to the previous rules of cooperating with Wang Sanbao, she took out a broken silver dime and handed it to Carpenter Zhao: "Here is five silver coins as an advance payment."

Carpenter Zhao stared at Yinzi in a daze.

He didn't expect that Yan Xiaosi, a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old, would give money so readily.

Yan Xiaosi glanced at him, and continued: "For such a bed, round table, high wardrobe, and stools, my family needs to make eight sets, five rocking chairs, and one long wooden chair (sofa). Five taels of silver, Master Zhao, what do you think?"

Although Carpenter Zhao is slow, he brought his mother-in-law to work with his son, and it took more than half a month to build these furniture.

A family of three earns five taels of silver in half a month, which is considered high in Daxing Town.

He was afraid that Yan Xiaosi would go back on his word, so he quickly responded: "Success."

Seeing that he agreed, Yan Xiaosi continued: "I will ask someone to saw the wood into planks. Master Zhao, you only need to make furniture. Also, my new house has almost been built, and it is now vacant. It is convenient to work, I hope Master Zhao can move to my new house, I will provide you with accommodation, Master Zhao, and naturally I will provide you with daily food, Master Zhao."

Food and shelter are included, and you can get five taels of silver.

Carpenter Zhao felt a little dizzy as he was hit by a pie falling from the sky.

"Brother Yan, what did you just say?"

He couldn't believe that such a good job could fall into the hands of his old carpenter.

Yan Xiaosi offered such good conditions because he was eager to move into his new home, and because he wanted to save face for Wang Sanbao.

"Uncle Sanbao, Master Zhao doesn't seem to understand what I said, please repeat it for me."

I just ate supper, my stomach was full, and it was really hard to repeat it.

Wang Sanbao told Carpenter Zhao what she said just now.

"Brother Zhao, did you hear clearly?"

Carpenter Zhao heard clearly this time, and looked at Yan Xiaosi excitedly: "Brother Yan, when can I go to work? By the way, can I let the mother-in-law fight with my son?"

Yan Xiaosi pondered for a while, and said, "How are Aunt Zhao and Brother Zhao's skills?"

If the skills of the two are good, she can accept them to help, shorten the construction period, and move into the new house as soon as possible.

Before Zhao Carpenter answered, Wang Sanbao spoke first.

"Sister-in-law Zhao and Zhao Qi often help Brother Zhao, and both of them are used to doing woodwork, so they are half masters."

Yan Xiaosi nodded and said: "Okay, let Aunt Zhao and Brother Zhao Qi go together, but they are helpers, I can only pay them a tael of silver each."

Carpenter Zhao didn't expect his mother-in-law and son to get paid at all. When Yan Xiaosi said that, he felt dizzy again from the pie falling from the sky.

The reason why Yan Xiaosi is so generous is that the wood used to make the furniture does not cost money, and the other is that he spent seven taels of silver to make so many pieces of furniture, which are worth thousands of dollars.

"Within five days, I will prepare the wood for the furniture. As for when the work will start, I will ask Uncle Sanbao to inform you. Master Zhao, do you think it is feasible?"
