Chapter 610: Old Furniture
At five o'clock in the morning, from a corner of the Tiananmen Gate Tower, the "National Flag Guard," composed of 36 armed police officers and men, marched with neat steps, crossed the Jinshui Bridge, crossed Chang'an Avenue, and walked toward the National Flag Tower.
The flag-raising ceremony began, and the bright five-star red flag rose at the same time as the sun in the majestic national anthem in 2 minutes and 07 seconds, under the gaze of all the people!
At this sacred moment, people involuntarily raised their right hands above their heads, saluted the bright national flag, and saluted the huge statue of the great man on the tower of Tiananmen Square, and many people could not help but leave tears of excitement.
This is an innate sense of family and country, and I am proud of my great motherland.
The flag-raising ceremony was over, and the sky was bright. At the Qianmen breakfast shop across the square, everyone had a Kyoto specialty: fried dough sticks in bean juice.
After breakfast, Steward Lin led everyone to the famous Kyoto overpass, the morning market under the overpass, which is now lively.
In Youyou's view, the morning market in Tianqiao is actually similar to the market in the countryside, and the difference is that the stalls have a large flow of people.
There are many stalls and everything is complete, and the price is relatively cheap. The women of Hantun Village are not short of money, and when they see the right one, they buy it, and more than an hour has passed. At half past seven, the morning market closed, and a group of people had big bags and small bags, and they were empty-handed.
Put the things in the compartment of the truck and rush to the door of the Forbidden City, it was exactly eight o'clock, and the Forbidden City opened.
Liu Ran bought the tickets in advance and stood at the gate of the Forbidden City waiting for everyone. She works here, and she has found a docent for everyone.
With the detailed explanation of the docent, this tour of the Forbidden City is relatively complete. Everyone has seen the Forbidden City, which covers an area of thousands of acres, and no longer says that Grandpa Youyou's Ai Wangfu is big.
At ten o'clock in the morning, coming out of the Forbidden City, Liu Ran took everyone to the Kyoto Furniture Factory. In the exhibition hall, everyone selected the furniture they needed, carefully wrote it down in their own small books, and finally handed it over to Steward Lin, and after summarizing it, they purchased it in the name of Zhenyu Company.
After returning yesterday, Han Zhijie and Han Daocun called Hantun Village overnight and reported the situation in Kyoto.
Speaking of the layout of the six sets of public rooms, the old chief's furniture was handled by Grandpa Youyou, and the remaining five sets were bought at the Kyoto Home Furnishing Factory. Two sets of antique furniture, three sets of modular furniture.
The decorations and bedding in the room are for Grandma Yoyo to choose, and a group of old men really don't understand. Besides, their house has been arranged and is relatively leisurely.
Looking at the antique furniture of various materials in the exhibition hall, you can't walk. These are genuine hardwoods, not to mention in the future, and in the new century, each one is a treasure that is hard to find.
Grandma chattered slowly, and asked for a set of antique furniture of each material. Grandpa Lin didn't like the workmanship of these furniture, and said to Youyou: "Any one in our house is better than these, if you like it, grandpa will clean it up for you when he comes home." ”
Yoyo made excuses for himself: "Grandpa Lin, all the furniture in our house is old, and the furniture here is not new." ”
Grandpa looked at Youyou suspiciously: "Don't you like old furniture, why did you change your mind again." ”
Grandma excused Yoyo: "Children, don't all like new things. ”
looked at his grandfather speechlessly, and complained in his heart: Is there such a demolition of your old man, look at my grandmother, and know to make excuses for yourself.
Steward Lin said with a smile: "That's not easy to do, our carpentry group is much more skilled than the master here, go back and let them make a new one for you, it is guaranteed to be better than here." ”
Youyou asked him: "Grandpa Lin, is it good to have good craftsmanship, do we have these woods in our house, these are all hardwoods." ”
"Ouch, little miss, you know everything, and you know that you have to use hardwood to make antique furniture. We can't buy the hardwood supplied by the state, but there are many hardwoods in the waste wood, and the price is cheap, lower than ordinary wood, and no one wants to burn the pot. ”
Yoyo asked suspiciously: "Grandpa Lin, are the people of Kyoto stupid? No one wants old furniture, and they dislike the old style, so it doesn't suit their needs." But you should know all the good wood, why no one wants it. ”
"Yoyo, you have lived in Hantun for a long time, and I don't know how quickly Kyoto has changed in the past two years. The original house was cramped, so everyone lived in it. In the past two years, wages have increased continuously, and people have money in their hands, so they want to build houses.
The newly built house is spacious, and the wood on the old house is no longer needed, so it has to be replaced with a new one. Nowadays, young people are fashionable to buy modular furniture, and few of them make their own furniture. No matter how good the wood is, it is useless and it is waste. ”
Hearing him say this, Yoyo's eyes lit up, and he knew that he had more money. Thinking of this, he hurriedly said to him: "Grandpa Lin, then let's buy more and put it for our own furniture." ”
Grandma looked at the wealth obsession of Youyou, and also knew that the hardwoods in her mall were sky-high, so she said to Steward Lin: "Brother Lin, we have a lot of children, maybe who likes it in the future, since the hardwood is easy to sell now, you can arrange for people to buy more, so that the carpentry team can take the time to make it." In a few years, when the older generation of craftsmen can't do it, no one will really make these old furniture. ”
"Madam, don't worry, our carpentry group, embroidery workshop and back kitchen have received many apprentices, and they are not outsiders, they are all related to us, and they are all admired and begged to come.
When they are done, pick some good ones, and we will stay for ourselves. In the future, when the young master and young lady are older, it is time to prepare the things they get married.
The eldest lady got married in a hurry, and caught up with that era, many things didn't have time, and now that the times have changed, we can't wronged the children anymore. ”
Youyou listen to the black lines on your head, where is this, can you still talk happily. Hao Hao is the oldest in the family, he is just fifteen years old this year, is it so early.
No, it should be the most wise, she is 20 years old this year, and she is of legal age for marriage. But she just got admitted to the master's and doctoral program this year, and it will take four years to graduate.
But as long as you can buy the precious hardwood, you can go for it. Yoyo reluctantly chose to shut up, at this time, it was not appropriate to say anything.
Yesterday I was optimistic, and today I just filled in some, and everyone chose it relatively quickly. Just after eleven o'clock, everyone finished choosing. The respective lists were handed over to Grandpa Lin, and then ran to the Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant, where Gui Jin booked a room in advance.
Nowadays, although people's lives are better, there are still very few people who come to Quanjude to eat. When the group arrived, it was only half past eleven in the morning, and lunch was early, and there was basically no one in the store.
Quanjude did not have a big table of twenty people, and a group of people sat at eight tables, occupying almost half of the hall. The service of Quanjude is as always, and each table has a special service staff, and under their thoughtful service, everyone is satisfied.
