It didn't take long for the gray pickup truck to stop at the door of Luo Xiangdong's house, and Luo Xiangdong knew in advance that they would come over today, so he had been waiting at home. As for the warping case that Zuo Yucheng and the others brought over to repair, there is only one lacquer link left.

The lacquer they use is raw lacquer cut from the lacquer trees that grow in the Qinling Mountains. Since the lacquer comes from the tree, it is naturally not harmful to the wooden furniture.

On such a hot day, running around outside continuously, Zuo Yucheng was also a little darker. The courtyard door was open, and when they entered, Luo Xiangdong was about to paint the warped case. Hearing the movement, Luo Xiangdong straightened up and welcomed the two in.

After Zuo Yucheng entered the room, he saw the repaired case being placed firmly in the center of the room by Luo Xiangdong at first glance. He placed the briefcase he was holding on the table and looked around the case.

The bottom of the board of the painting case was originally surrounded by a tooth board, like a fence under the board. The two ends of the tooth plate are cloud patterns, which is the most common identification of furniture in the Ming Dynasty, called cloud head tooth plate. The cloud head that originally had a horn was broken, but at this time it had been replaced by Luo Xiangdong with a new one, which looked exactly the same as the original cloud head, and it was difficult to find traces of repair.

The horseshoe feet on the four legs of the painting were also damaged originally, but they were all restored at this time. As for the joints of the mortise and tenon joints everywhere, the picky Zuo Yucheng couldn't find any shortcomings. In fact, if Luo Xiangdong can maintain such a level of craftsmanship all the time, it will be enough to meet his requirements.

"How is it? Is there anything else that needs to be improved?" The other party is an employer, although Luo Xiangdong felt that he had tried his best to do his best, but he still asked as usual.

Zuo Yucheng waved his hand: "That's it." How about it, Master Luo, are you interested in long-term cooperation?"

"Of course, as long as you trust my craft, that's fine. The price given by Zuo Yucheng is worthy of his craftsmanship, and Luo Xiangdong knows very well that if he doesn't accept Zuo Yucheng's job, he can only occasionally receive one of this kind of work. And because different employers are different, everyone has different requirements. Communication is also troublesome to explain.

For the various requirements of different employers, even if he has opinions in his heart, he has to follow the employer's wishes. Just like the last time he took over the four hoop chairs, according to the employer's wishes, they had to be completed within ten days, so he had to simplify the process, and the final result was that he did not meet his own requirements, but he still did as the employer said. After all, he has to live, and the adult world is not something that can be casual and capricious.

Zuo Yucheng is different, he seeks quality rather than speed, which is the same as Luo Xiangdong's philosophy. What's more, it is said that Zuo Yucheng has a large amount of antique furniture waiting to be restored, and as long as he goes, he will have endless work to do, so why not do it? If he really wants to cooperate, it will not be difficult for him to continue to work alone, and it can be regarded as a way out.

"Of course willing to cooperate. As long as the terms you give are reasonable. Luo Xiangdong didn't take Qiao, and replied directly. This is also expected by Zuo Yucheng. This is a real person, not like his niece who thinks a lot.

"Okay, Master Luo is happy. Well, it's not a matter of time or a half, so stop here and follow me to a place. Let's wait until we get back to paint. As for our conditions, you don't have to worry. Zuo Yucheng reassured Luo Xiangdong. and invited Luo Xiangdong to join him to take a look at the warehouse where they put their furniture. He had already bought another house next to the warehouse, equipped with all kinds of carpentry tools. As long as Luo Xiangdong himself goes over and makes a little arrangement, he will be able to start work soon.

As for Luo Xiangdong's salary, it is still very cost-effective to give him more. If he collects an old piece of antique furniture and resells it, he will make about 5% to 10% of the money. But if it is carefully repaired, the profit is much more than that, and doubling or tripling is nothing.

He has already invested a lot of money in those furniture, although he knows that if he continues to put it down, it will appreciate in value, but the funds have been under pressure and have not flowed, and he is also under pressure. Recently, he's going to fix it and sell some of it so that he has enough money to buy more gadgets. Furniture is just one of the main categories in his investment projects.

Luo Xiangdong also wanted to see what the specific situation was on Zuo Yucheng's side, so he simply cleaned up and locked the door. Go out with them.

Qu Xiaowu remembered that he had met Ye Xiaochi on the road at this time, so he mentioned it to Luo Xiangdong. Luo Xiangdong didn't know about this, I heard that he was walking with a man, Luo Xiangdong guessed that the person in the car might be the classmate she was picking up the food. I thought I'd find a time to ask when I got back. After all, girls in this society are more likely to suffer.

On the way back, Qu Xiaowu thought of the difficulties when he and Zuo Yucheng first started their business, and once the two of them were chased in a dark alley. Now that everything is starting to get on the right track, it's really emotional to think about the beginning.

Thinking of this, he suddenly became interested, and said to Zuo Yucheng: "Chengzi, do you remember the situation when we came out of the house together eight years ago?"

"Of course I remember, why did I say this all of a sudden?"

"It's just that I thought that our stall is getting bigger and bigger now, and I feel a little emotional, and suddenly I think of two sentences. ”

"Which two sentences?" Zuo Yucheng knew that Qu Xiaowu's thinking was a little scattered when he was idle, and he remembered that one play was another.

"Two lines of poetry come to mind. ”

"Do you still know this?" When Qu Xiaowu went to school, he either fought and skipped school, slept in class, or was punished by the teacher for standing, Zuo Yucheng didn't know that he still remembered this.

"Oh, you still underestimate me? Listen: there will be a time when the wind and waves will be long, and the clouds will sail into the sea. How about it, is it quite appropriate for our current situation? ”

Zuo Yucheng listened and smiled, "There is another sentence, it is easy to start a business and difficult to keep a business." ”

"Seko, I can't take what you say. I finally came up with a few words, aren't you ruining your fun?"

"I'm afraid you'll get dizzy, sober you up. Zuo Yucheng said, turning a big corner. Qu Xiaowu's body flashed when he was not paying attention, and complained: "Damn, you don't say a word." “

"Little Wu, it's normal for you to do this. Besides, how many times have we walked this road, don't you know?

"Delay a P, okay, Seiko, I know what you mean, it's to remind me that I have to have a snack when I should be on it, don't flutter, save the horse from missing the front hooves and flashing the waist or something, be careful. ”

At this time, he could already see the warehouse door not far in front of him, Zuo Yucheng stopped talking, and after the door opened, Zuo Yucheng led Luo Xiangdong in.
