Chapter 10 Fifty-six Legs Bring Ideas
Zhang Junping came out of the shower and was in the yard again, washing the clothes he had changed.
"Boy, you haven't eaten yet, have you? There's still a lot of food left in the pot!
Hurry up and eat, this weather will be bad tomorrow!" is still the same old rhetoric, and it has not changed because the old lady revealed her identity.
"Hey, thank you, Grandma Liu!"
"Verbosity!" muttered the old lady, continuing to listen to the play in the shade with the radio.
After eating, brush out the pots and pans and put them in the cupboard.
Zhang Junping began to get busy again.
It's getting dark late in summer, it's almost seven o'clock, and the sun hasn't gone down yet!
Taking advantage of the dawn, Zhang Junping began to make folding chairs.
Folding chairs are so popular, it is natural to make a little more.
repairing furniture for the thrift station, just like Stationmaster Li said, in the end, he left a few pieces of furniture and a bunch of wood left over from the furniture, and there was no money.
In the next month or so, I will make money by making folding chairs.
It was not until it was dark that he could not see, Zhang Junping moved into the house and continued to work, until twelve o'clock, when Zhang Junping shook his somewhat sore arm and finished the day's work.
At the end of the day, it was really not easy.
Although my arms are so tired that my arms are sore, there is a benefit, and that is to sleep fragrantly.
Accustomed to the bustle and hustle and bustle of later generations, when I came to the 80s, an era of lack of entertainment life, the hardest thing to endure was probably the night.
In later generations, going to bed at eleven o'clock was considered early, and it belonged to the kind of people who had a very regular schedule, but in this era, after nine o'clock in the evening, there were basically no pedestrians on the street.
After ten o'clock, the whole city is basically out of sight.
Zhang Junping, who had worked for a day, lay on the bed, and within a few minutes, he fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, Zhang Junping opened his eyes early.
Zhang Junping's body is very young now, and he recovers quickly, and when he gets up in the morning, he is full of energy.
It's nice to have that kind of energy explosion and be able to put a hole in your pants!
"Boy, what time did you sleep last night? You're still young, what are you doing so hard?"
"Grandma Liu, you also said that I am still young, if I don't work hard at this time, when will I work hard?
When you are reincarnated, you have already lost, and if you don't work hard while you are young, then this life will be like this!"
"You kid, you have a lot of crooked reasoning, it's good to be self-motivated, but you also have to pay attention to your body, and if you exaggerate your body, what's the point of you working hard?
I didn't cook today, I bought bean juice coke rings, and tea eggs, and I bought too much, if you don't dislike it, eat the rest!"
"Grandma Liu, you can't change your rhetoric? don't use leftovers as an excuse every day, I'm thick-skinned, you just said that it was given to me, and I don't care!" Zhang Junping said with a smile while brushing his teeth.
"Stinky boy, I'll keep a puppy, and I won't leave you any leftovers!" the old lady scolded with a smile.
"Grandma Liu, what is there to raise a dog? Why don't you raise a little tiger?" Zhang Junping foamed at the mouth, turned his head and smiled at the old lady.
"Raise a little tiger?" the old lady was stunned for a moment, and then reacted that Zhang Junping was born in 62 and belonged to the tiger.
said with a straight face: "I don't raise it, I eat too much, and I'm not obedient!"
"Don't eat much, just send some leftovers, the puppy will pay you at most to relieve your boredom, the tiger can not only compensate you to relieve your boredom, when you are old, the tiger can also carry you around!" Zhang Junping said with a hippie smile.
Zhang Junping accompanied the old lady to tease her, and after eating breakfast, he took the toolbox and the six folding chairs made overnight yesterday and left the courtyard.
When we arrived at Dashilar, there were already several people waiting there.
Before Zhang Junping could stand firm, the six folding chairs he was carrying were snatched away by several women.
It's crazy!
Zhang Junping held a handful of gross tickets and shook his head speechlessly.
"Little comrade, why are there so many chairs?
Can't you just do more?"
"yes! I waited all morning, but I didn't get a handful!"
"Will you come back tomorrow?"
The person who didn't grab the folding chair didn't give up and asked around Zhang Junping.
"Sisters, aunts, I also want to do more, but I can't do more by myself!" Zhang Junping could only explain in a good voice.
"Little comrade, how much does it cost to make a set of 56-legged furniture? I will make the wood myself!" An aunt even pulled Zhang Junping to ask how much the custom furniture was.
Zhang Junping was stunned by the aunt's arrogance.
Good guys, opening your mouth is fifty-six legs, what kind of family is this?
In the era of this song, even 10,000 households may not be willing to make furniture with 56 legs.
Generally, the normal one is thirty-six legs, which is a standard furniture configuration.
The so-called "thirty-six legs" is the common name for a type of furniture style before the eighties.
Similar to the furniture set of later generations.
The original meaning of "thirty-six legs" furniture refers to a set of furniture with thirty-six legs.
Each piece of furniture had four legs, which meant that the set of furniture that was popular at the time consisted of nine pieces of furniture, which usually consisted of a large wardrobe, a chest of five drawers, a bed, a bedside table, a small square table, and four benches.
Thirty-six legs furniture is a variant of Shanghai-style furniture that appeared between the founding of the People's Republic of China and the eighties.
It is a product with the characteristics of the times that emerged in this era of material shortage.
Shanghai-style furniture can be simply understood as furniture produced in Shanghai before the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Specifically, the Western-style furniture and the furniture produced in Shanghai are new-style furniture.
As for the fifty-six legs, furniture such as sofas and coffee tables were added to them.
Not to mention fifty-six legs, even thirty-six legs, not everyone is willing to buy them in this era.
To buy loose pieces of furniture, a wardrobe costs only eight or nine yuan, but a set of thirty-six legs costs three or four hundred yuan, and ordinary people are willing to buy it.
Sure enough, as soon as the aunt's words came out, several other women surrounding Zhang Junping looked at this somewhat rich aunt in surprise.
"There's no way, my eldest went to the educated youth, and it's twenty-six or seven years old when he comes back, so it's hard to say a partner!
Over the years, I have suffered a lot in the countryside, and I can't get married and let my children be wronged!"
I don't want my child to get married and be wronged again, so I do fifty-six legs.
It's definitely a show-off!
"I'm sorry, Auntie!
I just took over the job of repairing furniture from the thrift station, and it is estimated that I will be busy for four or five months! I really can't spare time!" Zhang Junping simply refused his aunt's request.
How can it take more than a month to make a set of fifty-six legs, how much can you charge?
It's only about a hundred dollars.
How can you make your own folding chairs to make money?
However, the aunt's words reminded Zhang Junping.
On the way to the old freight station, Zhang Junping began to think about his plan.
The more I think about it, the more feasible it becomes!
