Chapter 280 Carpenter
"Brother Chu." Xiao Ye came over, saw Chu Zhuang looking at the room, and said a little embarrassedly: "It's too messy inside." "You have done a good job." Chu Zhuang shook his head and said.
It is really amazing that a group of children can do what they are doing now.
"This is Guo Wen, Guo Wu and Xuan Xuan, do you all know each other?" Chu Zhuang looked at them and asked.
"Yeah!" All four nodded.
In the past two days, Xiao Yelai and Guo Wen reported the news, and it is inevitable that the two parties need to deal with each other, so now they are quite familiar with each other.
"Xiaoye, you still go out to inquire about the Guo family today, but Xiaowen, Xiaowu, and Xuanxuan will go with you." Chu Zhuang said.
Now that it has been decided to let Guo Wen and the others manage these children, acting with them now will also allow them to get acquainted with them faster.
"Okay, Big Brother Chu!" Ono immediately agreed without thinking too much.
"Follow Xiaoye, familiarize yourself with the terrain, don't run around, understand?" Chu Zhuang looked at the three of them and asked.
As for Guo Wen and Guo Wu, Chu Zhuang was more at ease, and the most important thing Chu Zhuang ordered was to tell Bai Xuan.
Bai Xuan is the youngest, if he didn't know that he didn't want to stay at home alone, Chu Zhuang didn't want him to go with him this time
%;
"Brother Chu, don't worry, I will take care of Xiao Wu and Xuan Xuan." Guo Wen knew Chu Zhuang's worry and immediately assured him.
"Well, good." Regarding Guo Wen, Chu Zhuang was quite at ease, and nodded in agreement.
After walking around, Chu Zhuang didn't stay here for long, let Xiao Liu stay here to follow Guo Wen and the others, and then left with the rest of the people.
Today Chu Zhuang has to go to the market to buy the ingredients and items needed for tomorrow's engagement banquet.
Although only the Yun family and the Yao family attended the engagement banquet, it was a very important day for Chu Zhuang, so even though the time was tight, he had to make good preparations.
There are two big markets in Dongfeng Mansion, namely West Market and East Market.
The west market mainly sells saddles, pens, ink, paper and inkstones, jewelry and other more expensive items, while the east market sells some daily necessities.
Chu Zhuang and the others are now in Dongshi.
There are bustling streets on both sides of the market, and there are many street vendors on the roadside.
Although Chu Zhuang and the others came earlier, there were already many people in the market, which was very lively.
—Walking around and buying all the way, Chu Zhuang couldn't help but sigh in his heart. According to Yunmengxi's personality, he should like this kind of shopping very much.
It's just a pity that now he can only be locked up in the mansion.
Chu Zhuang cheered up and didn't continue to think about this question. When he married Yunmengxi over, Yunmengxi could go shopping as he wanted, play as he wanted, and even Yun Tingfeng would not Way to interfere with him.
"Take all these things back first, and let Xiaolan wash the dishes first, and I will talk about the rest when I come back." Chu Zhuang looked at Bai Dali and ordered.
"Okay, young master." Bai Dali drove the carriage and left first.
Chu Zhuang took Huiming to a small stall they had visited just now.
The father and son of the stall should be carpenters. There are a few tables and chairs for them to sit on and some carved gadgets on the stall.The things are not big, but the workmanship is good and the workmanship is exquisite, but the wood is very common, so the price is not high.What Chu Zhuang likes is not the things on their stalls, but the craftsmanship of the two of them.
"Guest officer, is there anything you fancy?" Lin Huai, the owner of the stall, was a dull middle-aged man. When he saw a customer coming to the door at this time, he couldn't say a word other than asking dryly.
On the other hand, Lin Huai's son, Lin Xiaomu, is a clever boy, and he introduced Chu Zhuang attentively: "Guest officer, these are all made by father and boy. My father once learned the craft from Master Lu. It's amazing, look at the workmanship, this..."
Chu Zhuang looked at Lin Xiaomu amusedly, this eloquence is definitely a good salesman in modern times.
"I don't need any of these." Chu Zhuang waved his hand and said.
"Ah?" Lin Xiaomu couldn't help showing a disappointed expression on his face, but he didn't lose his mind for long, and soon cheered up and said, "Do you need anything, sir? We also accept orders here."
It's just that Lin Xiaomu didn't expect that Chu Zhuang would ask them to order things. After all, rich and noble people would find those very famous masters to do things, and they wouldn't look at them at all.
"Well, there is indeed something I want to ask you to order, but I don't know how your craftsmanship is and whether you can make it.
Chu Zhuang casually picked up a small wooden carving on the stall and started to play with it. If these small wooden carvings were not extraordinarily delicate, it meant that the carpenter had good craftsmanship, and he would not have turned back to look for them.
"Guest officer, what do you want to order, as long as you say it, we promise to make it!" Lin Xiaomu patted his chest to protect
Testimony.
Lin Huai sighed, looked at Chu Zhuang and said apologetically, "This kid has nothing to say, I hope you don't mind."
"It's nothing." Chu Zhuang waved his hand and didn't care about it at all.
"I don't know what the young master wants to order? Can you tell us?" Lin Huai asked.
Chu Zhuang took out a blueprint drawn last night from his pocket, and handed it to Lin Huai.
"What I want to order is a wheelchair. Here is the drawing. Take a look."
The custom-made wheelchair in Chuzhuang was prepared for the two elderly members of Yao's family. The two elderly people have inconvenient legs and feet. With this wheelchair, they can also go out for a stroll.
"Wheelchair? What is this?"
There was a confused look in Lin Huai's eyes. He took the blueprint from Chu Zhuang's hand and looked at it. He looked surprised when he saw the structure of the wheelchair on it.
"Can this be done?" Chu Zhuang looked at Lin Huai and asked.
The craftsmanship required for this wheelchair is not complicated, but it is definitely not simple to say that it needs skilled craftsmen to make it.
"Father, what is it?" Lin Xiaomu restlessly looked at the blueprint in Lin Huai's hand.
Lin Huai ignored Lin Xiaomu, thought for a while, then nodded, looked at Chu Zhuang and said, "It can be made. I don't know if you have any requirements for the wood?"
This is a big problem for Chu Zhuang, he doesn't know much about this wood.
"I'm using this as a gift for the elders. I don't know what kind of wood is more suitable?" Chu Zhuang looked at Lin Huai and asked.
"Huanghuali and black wood are very suitable, but these two kinds of wood are very precious, and we don't have any in this stall." Lin Huai showed an embarrassed look.
"Where can I buy this wood?" Chu Zhuang asked.
"You have to go to the West Market to buy them, but they don't exist here." Lin Huai explained.
Chu Zhuang nodded and said: "I can buy this wood. How much do you pay for a day? I will hire you to make wheelchairs."
The purchased wood is precious, and it is impossible for Chuzhuang to hand it over to Lin Huai with such peace of mind, so of course it is most suitable to hire people to work at home.
"This..." Lin Huai was about to speak, but was interrupted by Lin Xiaomu: "If you want to invite my father, you need two hundred copper coins a day, and you have to pay for a meal, so I have to follow along to help! "
"Xiaomu, what nonsense are you talking about?" Lin Huai glared at Lin Xiaomu when he heard Lin Xiaomu asking for prices.
They had finally waited for a business trip for so many days, so don't be disturbed by Lin Xiaomu.
Lin Xiaomu didn't shut up this time, he said unwillingly: "Father, you used to be Master Lu's disciple, you are totally worth the money!"
"Don't mention this matter again in the future!" Lin Huai's face became gloomy. Now that he has been expelled from the school, how can he act in the name of Master Lu again? !
Lin Xiaomu knew that Lin Huai was really angry, so he lowered his head in frustration and didn't continue talking.
"My lord, thirty copper coins a day is enough." Lin Huai looked at Chu Zhuang and asked for the price.
Master Lu?
Chu Zhuang raised his eyebrows, and there was a dark light in his eyes. When he heard Lin Xiaomu say that two hundred copper coins a day, he didn't think it was expensive at all.
After all, in modern society, if you just ask a master to do something, you don't need two or three hundred yuan a day.
Not to mention that the craftsmanship of this forest is really good. In modern society, such a small wood carving can easily sell for hundreds or even thousands. This is because there is no good material, otherwise the price will have to go up.
"Take the stall and go buy wood with me. If this wheelchair is well made, I will give you two hundred copper coins a day. If it is not well made, the good wood will be wasted, so you don't even want to get a single copper coin." Chu Chu Zhuang wanted to test Lin Huai's skills.
"Don't worry, my lord, we will definitely do our best to do a good job." Lin Xiaomu's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he immediately responded.
Lin Huai also nodded, and agreed, if the wood was destroyed, he would never have the face to take the wages.
The father and son put away the stall, followed Chu Zhuang to the lumber shop to buy the materials, and then returned to Chu's house.
"You guys are here to make wheelchairs these few days, and take care of food and housing." Chu Zhuang paused and looked at Lin Huai and asked, "Do you need to report a message to your family?"
"There are only us father and son in the family, no need." Lin Huai said hastily.
Chu Zhuang nodded, called Xiao Wu, and told him: "Xiao Wu, clean up the room, let the father and son live in the same room with you for a few days, and take them to the backyard to do work after cleaning. "
"Okay, master!" Xiao Wu quickly responded, and led the two of them to put their things into the room first, then led them to the backyard, and found a place for them to work.
After Chu Zhuang finished making arrangements, he rolled up his sleeves and went directly into the kitchen.
Chuzhuang has already thought about the dishes for tomorrow's engagement banquet, but there are a few big dishes that need to be prepared today.
Not long after, bursts of strong fragrance came from the kitchen.
"Father, it smells so good!" Lin Xiaomu swallowed as he smelled the fragrance.
"Don't be distracted, do things quickly." Lin Huai is an honest person. Since Chu Zhuang is paying him to do things, he will definitely not be lazy and play tricks to waste time during this period.
Lin Huai took out Chu Zhuang's drawings and tools, and began to work on the purchased wood.
Lin Xiaomu glanced at the direction of the kitchen in the front yard with nostalgia, and shook his head. He also knew in his heart that it was absolutely impossible for the owner of this kind of food to entertain them. It was enough for them to eat a full meal of pancakes today. Very satisfied.
