Chapter 56 Craftsman Spirit
"I said, what are you doing so much?
You're buying new furniture, and there's all the new wood there!
As for the future, who bought the furniture you returned, what the hell are you doing?
I believe that when the time comes, Master Xiao Zhang will definitely explain that this is an old piece of furniture!" Aunt Wang once again stood up to speak for Zhang Junping.
"Yes, too!
It's useless to think so much now!
Master Zhang, your price is too high!
It's only two or three hundred yuan to buy a set of furniture at the Xicheng Furniture Store!
Even if you go to the black market to buy furniture, it's only four or five hundred yuan!
You're so dark, aren't you?" spoke to a small and fat-bodied aunt.
"This aunt, I just talked about our furniture making process!
It takes twice as much labor as ordinary furniture!
Those four or five hundred pieces of furniture can promise you a lifetime warranty?
Can you trust them even if they promise?
Maybe you won't find anyone if you turn your face!
But I'm different!
There is a saying that a monk can't run to the temple if he runs away, I am a college student at CAFA, and I can be found wherever I go!
Also, those four or five hundred furniture, my furniture is beautiful?
Auntie, the country has been reformed and opened up, and our people's lives are getting better and better, and this purchase of furniture is no longer only about its practicality, but also about beauty and comfort!"
Zhang Junping can be described as a one-hit kill in the end, saying a thousand things and ten thousand, my furniture is more beautiful than others.
"A thousand dollars!" another lean aunt gritted her teeth and bargained.
There's no way not to grit your teeth.
A thousand dollars is not a small amount.
Now the average in Beijing is only more than 50 yuan.
This is still the level of wages after being averaged.
In other words, a person has to go without eating or drinking for two years to save this thousand dollars.
"Auntie, you can go to the backyard and see the boards I use, all of them are first-class sawn wood, those people on the black market are not willing to use such good materials to make furniture for you!" Zhang Junping said with a look of embarrassment.
"Master Zhang, it's just a thousand yuan!
Just give Auntie a face, and go back and Auntie will introduce you to a few more people to buy furniture!" Aunt Wang said beside her.
She brought people to buy furniture, so naturally she couldn't just think that Zhang Junping still had to speak for these old sisters at the critical moment when she spoke.
"This ......... All right!
Since Aunt Wang, you have spoken, then count it as a thousand!
However, this aunt, you have to pay a deposit of 200 yuan!
After paying the deposit, I'll go and measure the size of the house for you!"
"How do you buy furniture and measure the area of the house?" Aunt Wang asked suspiciously.
Several other aunts were also at a loss.
In this era, how can you say that you can measure the area of the house when buying furniture, you can buy a few pieces of furniture according to your own economic conditions, and put them on the line.
"Auntie, as you said, buying furniture is not so simple!
A set of furniture is so expensive, the family has been saving money for several years to buy a set of furniture!
If this is bought big, it can't be placed at home, how troublesome will it be?
If this furniture is too small, leaving a gap in the corner of the wall will not look good and it will not be easy to clean.
So, we have to go to your door to measure the area, and then according to the area of your home, adjust the size, a little bigger or a little smaller!
Make sure you can put it down, and it's not empty!"
"That's what makes you say that!
I really didn't expect that there is so much knowledge to buy furniture!" Aunt Wang nodded in agreement.
"Old sister, do you hear that?
I'll just say that Master Xiao Zhang is reliable, look at it, everyone has thought of everything for you!
You go to the furniture store, you go to the black market, and people take care of you?"
"Sister Wang is right!
It's more expensive, spend money to buy peace of mind!"
In the end, after Zhang Junping's sales promotion, plus Aunt Wang's side drum, four people paid a deposit.
It's all furniture sets.
There are also two aunts, although they are excited, but in the end they are still reluctant to buy.
Zhang Junping was not disappointed, out of six people, four people were willing to pay for it, which already shows that his furniture is popular.
Zhang Junping accepted the money and handwrote a deposit receipt to the four aunts.
It is very informal to take a handwritten receipt on manuscript paper, but in this era, no one raises objections.
"Master Zhang's handwriting is so beautiful!" Aunt Wang looked at it next to her and praised her.
"In general, compared to my classmates, I am still very bad!" Zhang Junping said modestly.
"Master Zhang is so modest! I think your handwriting is no worse than that of a great calligrapher!
When I go back, I have to ask Master Zhang for the sub-word, and go home to let my little grandson and granddaughter study hard!"
"If Aunt Wang doesn't dislike my ugly words, I'll write you a good word when I go back!" Zhang Junping was humble in his mouth, but he was very happy in his heart.
Although his calligraphy is much worse than that of Guo Moruo and Yang Mingde, he can be regarded as entering the room.
You can sell it for money if you take it out.
Leave the home addresses of the four aunts, and make an appointment to measure the area tomorrow afternoon.
As soon as Aunt Wang and her party left, Zhang Guiqin couldn't hold back any longer, "Pingzi, how can you do such a business?"
I've never heard of selling something with a lifetime warranty!
It's just your warranty, at most it's a little effort!
But you're guaranteed to retire for life?
What do you think?"
"Eldest sister, don't worry!
Big brother-in-law, third brother, listen to me!
First of all, let's talk about the lifetime warranty, which is a test of your craftsmanship!
The furniture made by ancient people will not be broken for tens or hundreds of years!
What are we worse than the ancients?
It's all a neck and a head, two hands, two eyes, what's the difference?
If you have to say bad, then what is bad is a kind of craftsmanship!"
"What is the spirit of craftsmanship in Pingzi?"
"Third brother, you can understand it like this!
If you don't do it well, you'll die!
You always think in your head, if I don't do this job well, my life will be gone!
Tie the quality of the work with your life, this is the spirit of craftsmanship!"
"Ah, how can an ancient carpenter die if he can't do his job? This is too miserable, isn't it?" the fifth brother cried out in surprise.
"Almost!
In ancient times, carpenters made furniture for the emperor and built houses, and once something went wrong, not only would their lives be lost, but they would also be wiped out!
There is also the work for high-ranking officials and nobles, once something goes wrong and wastes materials, it is really possible to be killed!"
"Don't interrupt, we're talking about your lifetime warranty and refund, what are you talking about the ancients?" The eldest sister crossed her waist and was very dissatisfied and interrupted Zhang Junping's words.
"Sister, my promise of a lifetime warranty is to put pressure on ourselves!
If you don't work hard, you will lose money if the furniture is not fine enough.
We are all close relatives, if you don't want me to lose money, work carefully, do a good job!
Of course, if you don't treat me as a relative, then don't blame me for not treating you as a relative!" Zhang Junping smiled and put a chord on the eldest brother-in-law and others.
"Pingzi is right, he is my younger brother, and he is also your younger brother, if anyone doesn't do a good job, don't blame me for speaking badly!" Zhang Guiqin pinched her waist and glared, glancing at her husband and her own uncles and cousins.
