Chapter 322 Preparation for the Occupation of the New House
There were actually two or three tourists watching outside, looking at Zhang Fan's mahogany furniture, quite envious.
Those mahogany furniture solemn and elegant mahogany furniture, seeking unity in change, fine carving, smooth lines. Most of the fine mahogany furniture is combined with mortise and tenon, which is clever and coincidental, firm and durable, and has a strong scientific nature from the perspective of mechanics.
They are all knowledgeable people who know that mahogany furniture integrates practicality, ornamentation and value preservation.
The old, high-quality traditional Chinese mahogany furniture is a treasure coveted by Chinese and foreign collectors. In addition, the mahogany resources are limited, and the growth cycle of mahogany is very long, some can reach hundreds of years, so the rare and expensive mahogany furniture will have more and more unique charm.
And Zhang Fan's set is imitation furniture.
The Ming Dynasty is another prosperous period in the history of furniture in China since the Han and Tang Dynasties. With the economic prosperity at that time, the city's gardens and residential buildings also flourished, and the newly built mansions of the nobles and wealthy merchants needed to be equipped with a large amount of furniture, which formed a large demand for furniture.
A group of cultural celebrities in the Ming Dynasty were keen on the study of furniture technology and the exploration of furniture aesthetics, and their participation played a certain role in promoting the maturity of furniture style in the Ming Dynasty.
In addition, Zheng He went to the West and transported back a large number of high-grade wood such as pear and red sandalwood from the Nanyang countries, which were rich in high-grade wood, which also created favorable conditions for the development of furniture in the Ming Dynasty.
They observed Zhang Fan's furniture, the shape is very simple and bright, simple and elegant, beautiful and dignified, rich in charm, rigid and soft.
This is exactly the typical feature of Ming-style furniture, and they love it too.
When it comes to ancient furniture, the most representative is the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, the furniture of the Qing Dynasty is more gorgeous and exquisite, but they still prefer the Ming Dynasty to have more things.
Perhaps in addition to the fact that Ming-style furniture is more in line with their aesthetics, the Ming Dynasty is a dynasty of the Han people, and it is also related to the innate sense of intimacy.
In fact, it's not just them, now as long as the Chinese people comment on the Qingming and Qing dynasties, more people will like the Ming Dynasty than the Qing Dynasty.
"Uncle, how about the rest of the materials to help me build a bookshelf, a table, and a chair? "One tourist reacted quickly and struck first.
In the past, they had their eyes on the mahogany, but at that time the carpenter could not decide.
Now Zhang Fan gave these leftover materials to the carpenter, and he had no reason to argue. It just so happens that the remaining materials can be used to make a set of utensils to be placed in the study.
"Uncle, give it to me! I've begged you three times. The other man also came to his senses and joined the fray.
First, the material of these woods is indeed the best in the old sour branches, and it is relatively difficult to find.
On the other hand, it is the carpenter's craftsmanship that is really superb, just look at the carvings. They learned that although this carpenter had not gone out to see the world much, he had been dealing with carpenters for most of his life and had a strong ability to make furniture.
The third point is that the price is cheap. Outside, it's very difficult to find these handmade furniture. You know, many furniture manufacturers, the furniture they produce is produced by machines, and it is handmade by others, how can it be the same?
"Fifty thousand, help me build the ones I just mentioned. The first person to speak immediately said the price.
"You ......" the other person was depressed.
The price of 50,000 seems to be a bit high, in that case, he doesn't want to fight much. For tens of thousands of yuan, he can also sell a set of high-end sofas.
"It doesn't have to be so expensive...... the carpenter hurriedly waved his hand.
However, the tourist really liked the materials and the carpenter's craftsmanship, so he waved his hand a little arrogantly: "Just 50,000 yuan, uncle, you can help me do it as soon as possible." I'll show you the sample in a moment. ”
The carpenter had no choice but to nod, very happy in his heart, and very grateful to Zhang Fan.
That is equivalent to Zhang Fan's remuneration of 100,000. The latter materials are just three things, a desk, a chair, and a bookshelf.
That's 50,000 yuan, no wonder he doesn't feel that it needs to be so expensive. According to his idea, it would be enough to give twenty or thirty thousand. The main reason is that the material is a little more expensive, and he never charges too much for labor costs.
Zhang Fan asked people to move the furniture to another place to be placed, instead of moving it directly to the villa that had already been built.
The villa was fully completed yesterday and quite a few people came to visit, including tourists. After seeing Zhang Fan's villa, people from all walks of life were full of praise.
New furniture will smell a little, and it is best to leave it outside to dry for a while.
If it's furniture from an outside manufacturer, you really can't use it if you can't move it in. Nowadays, furniture will more or less carry some smell, even if it is pure solid wood furniture, there may be a small amount of formaldehyde gas in the production process, and it is impossible not to contain a little smell as the merchant said.
In that case, in addition to the natural way of removing odors by placing ventilation, you can also breed some plants in the home to absorb harmful gases in the air through plants, so as to achieve the effect of removing the smell of furniture and purifying the air.
Of course, Zhang Fan's furniture, except for the smell of the wood itself, is not mixed with other additives, so it will be much better, so it doesn't have to be so troublesome.
……
On the other side of the valley, he helped Zhang Fan do part-time work and help take care of the cabbage with flowers and plants, and he was not idle.
She was going to start helping to transfer the flowers and plants to the flower garden of Zhang Fan's villa. After that, the place where she worked part-time was very close.
When Zhang Fan's garden is finished, his villa will be even more beautiful. Sometimes, cabbage really envies such a life.
Obviously, she lives in the countryside, and she lives to a new height, and the life that some local tyrants are difficult to have, is what she admires Zhang Fan the most.
These flowers and plants are relatively delicate, and when transferring, you must be careful and careful.
She ate the strawberries she had picked, brushed her hands, and got to work.
Others don't know that strawberries, which are known as the best quality and highest price in the world, can be eaten as much as she wants, which others can't envy.
……
Zhang Fan's uncle was not at home, and he was also busy, preparing many preparations for the new house.
The new house is a big event, there are a lot of things to prepare, and there are many major matters, and the uncle has been talking to Zhang Fan about this matter for the past two or three days.
For example, before the auspicious time, something needs to be done.
On the auspicious day, what kind of process and so on, all have to be told to Zhang Fan first, so that he won't have to make jokes at that time.
In addition, according to Zhang Fan's plan, it is a big water feast, inviting all the villagers to eat, and even tourists can sit down to eat and drink together.
Therefore, the ingredients to be prepared, etc., must be pre-ordered in advance.
Fortunately, Zhang Fan's family is famous in Huangshi Town, everyone sells a few thin noodles, and everyone takes out the best if they need anything.
