Chapter 104: It's time to start experiencing the life of the ancient aristocracy

Early morning.

Wang Chen stretched out and got up refreshed.

After freshening up, when he went out, he saw Wang Wenxiu standing on the edge of the bed brushing his teeth in front of the wooden basin.

"Early. Wang Chen greeted.

Inside the window, Wang Wenxiu had a toothbrush stuffed in his mouth, twitching from time to time, and made a muffled voice, "Morning." ”

Looking at this scene, Wang Chen couldn't help but think of the scene last night, and suddenly his blood swelled a little, that kind of taste can only be understood and indescribable, not to mention how wonderful it is.

After saying hello, he was about to leave, when he suddenly thought of something, and smiled: "It's time to practice when brushing your teeth, otherwise your teeth will hurt." ”

After brushing the floor, Wang Wenxiu's face was flushed with shame, and he immediately spit out a mouthful of foam from his mouth, slammed the window shut, and then, a voice of gnashing teeth came from inside, "Don't let the concubine be like this next time, hum." ”

Yo.

It's quite tsundere.

I like to train tsundere women, and one day you will be obedient and willing to dedicate yourself.

Wang Chen was in a very good mood, turned around and walked out, humming the modern pop song "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky", "I pray to have a transparent heart, and tearful eyes, give me the courage to believe again, and hug you beyond lies~"

In the yard.

The carpenters had already gone to work, and several large wooden basins were piled with orange beads, and a few beads with a little star were placed in separate iron basins.

Wang Yuncang, who was squatting on the edge of the big tree, was holding a rice bowl and drinking porridge in his hand, which was covered with a layer of minced meat that looked like a salted melon.

Before the Northern Song Dynasty, ancient people only ate two meals a day, three meals for the princes, and four meals for the emperor.

The Northern Song Dynasty is different, many people have started three meals a day, but their three meals a day are different from Wang Chen's.

Most people eat at 90 o'clock in the morning, eat another meal at 4 or 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and have a late night snack if possible.

Of course, Wang Chen couldn't accept it, modern eating habits are difficult to change, so he asked Wang Yuncang's wife, Qu, who was in charge of cooking, to cook according to his habits.

Naturally, Wang Yuncang also enjoyed the treatment of a real "breakfast".

Wang Chen walked over and asked, "How are the Buddha beads doing?"

Wang Yuncang hurriedly swallowed the porridge in his mouth, "There is one more point that is all made into beads, and the rest of the strings can be strung together." ”

"Done. Wang Chen was very satisfied with the progress, and asked, "Have you found a carpenter who has made beads particularly well?"

"There are quite a few good ones. Wang Yuncang pointed to a thin man in his thirties sitting cross-legged with his chopsticks, "For example, this Qian San, the bead is called a circle, and the wood will basically not be wasted in his hands." He smacked his lips and said, "There are about one or twenty crafts similar to him, how many are you going to keep?"

"Let's all stay. ”

"What about the money per month?"

"Since the craftsmanship is good, if you want to retain people, you can temporarily open five yuan a month. ”

"Okay, I see. Wang Yuncang continued to pick up porridge.

Wang Chen stared at Qian San for a while, normally speaking, it takes about forty-five minutes to make a bead, but Qian San was ingenious, after playing ink on the wood, he sawed it into small pieces with a few brushes, and pounded it with a handmade wooden rotary drum, and after a while, the wooden blocks gradually became round.

In the end, Qian San took a knife and scraped the beads many times.

Bead molding.

It only took about twenty minutes.

During this period, Wang Yuncang also went to the kitchen to add a bowl of porridge.

Wang Chen's eyes lit up, this craftsmanship is amazing!

I heard Wang Yuncang say just now that there are one or twenty crafts that are similar to Qian San, and they are all talents!

If you want to do wood carving in the future, with the craftsmanship of Qian San, what you will do is not only a handicraft, but also art, how much can you increase the value of wood carving?

In order to determine whether Qian San knew how to carve wood, Wang Chen walked over and asked, "Do you know how to carve wood?"

Qian San, who was concentrating on his work, raised his head and smiled honestly: "Yes, let's just rely on this skill to eat." ”

Wang Chen wanted to test his wood carving skills, and ordered: "Don't make beads yet." He squatted down and took a piece of small-leaf rosewood half the size of a palm, "Carve this piece of wood into the shape of a swallow for me, okay?"

Qian San took the wood and nodded vigorously, "Okay." ”

Wang Chen didn't say anything more, stood up and returned to Wang Yuncang's side, didn't speak, and waited quietly for him to finish eating.

Five minutes later.

Wang Yuncang licked the bowl cleanly and took a full shelf.

"Do you still eat?" Wang Chen said.

"I'm full, I don't eat. Wang Yuncang waved his hand with chopsticks.

Wang Chen said: "Then put the bowl in, let the sister-in-law come out and watch them work, you and I will go and transfer the house." ”

"Bh. Wang Yuncang hurriedly put the bowl back in the kitchen.

Subsequently, the two went out to handle the transfer of ownership of the house.

……

Cheng.

In the house.

It was the first time for Wang Chen to come here, accompanied by Fu Quan, a man from the tooth next to him, and Lu Yuanwai, who was in his sixties with the owner of the house.

This house is very luxurious, starting from Niuyang Lane in the east, along Yuanbao Street in the north, to the Hao River in the west, and to the city wall in the south. The surrounding walls are towering into the sky, just now I heard the introduction of Lu Yuanwai, the wall is made of glutinous rice soup paste bricks, which can prevent fire and discharge water.

The architectural design of the whole house is a typical Jiangnan garden-style mansion, magnificent, extremely luxurious, the most important thing, Wang Chen heard a speechless news, which uses a lot of red sandalwood, sour branches, nanmu, ginkgo, pear, etc., the workmanship is extremely fine, and the carving and painting are exquisite.

Wang Chen walked around the corridor in the garden.

It is found that this house garden has high pavilions, pavilions, pools, rockeries, and artificial caves.

There are a total of sixty-six wings.

After reading it, back in the lobby, Wang Chen was very satisfied.

Lu Yuanwai smiled and said, "Bu Zhouzi, is this house still to your liking?"

Wang Chen praised: "It is not an exaggeration to say that the first house in Tongzhou. ”

"Praise it. Lu Yuanwai said regretfully: "It's a pity that the old man has to move to Yangzhou to share the joy of family with his heirs, otherwise he is really reluctant to sell." ”

A few people laughed for a while.

Subsequently, Fu Quan, who was "rewarded" by Wang Yuncang for a penny last time, took advantage of others to hit the railway: "Then let's pay the money and go to the building store to enter it, and it will be considered a transfer?"

Wang Chen didn't have any opinions, took out a piece of flying money from his pocket and handed it over, "Five thousand yuan of flying money, Lu Yuan will take it outside." ”

Lu Yuanwai took the flying money and said with a smile: "Thank you Bu Zhouzi for being bold." ”

It's only 5,000 pieces.

For Wang Chen, who is worth more than 120,000 guan, it is a drizzle, and 5,000 guan can be counted as money? Even if there are another 100,000 and 5,000 guan, he will ...... Not so much money either.

After paying the money, I paid the commission of the tooth bank.

The three parties signed the deed and title deed transfer instrument.

After that, the four of them went to the building store and went through the formal transfer procedures.

Along the way, Wang Chen was excited.

Mansion.

This is a real mansion!

He believes that if his house is put in the modern society, even if it is 100 million, people will buy it, not to mention that the entire house is like a garden, just saying that it covers an area of five acres in the Song Dynasty, it is incredible, which is equivalent to 3,250 square meters in modern society!

Wang Chen is extremely satisfied, buddies have mansions in both time and space!

……

Floor shop.

came out, and Lu Yuanwai hurriedly left.

Wang Chen was very satisfied with Fu Quan's attitude, and said to Wang Yuncang: "Reward Fu Yaren with some money, I'll go back first, and you can find someone to clean the yard." ”

"Okay. Wang Yuncang agreed.

Wang Chen left first.

Wang Yuncang glanced at Fu Quan and said lazily: "You kid is lucky, you meet such a bold person as our host, okay, I'll reward you with some money." ”

The last reward of a penny is still vivid, Fu Quan wanted to cry without tears and said: "Fifth Brother Wang, you ...... Alas......"

"Alas, what?" Wang Yuncang glanced at him, took out a small piece of silver from his pocket and threw it over.

Fu Quan hurriedly caught it, and at a glance, it was a piece of silver, weighed it, and estimated that it was two or two, he was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Fifth Brother Wang, thank you, it is worthy of being a big family, and there are many rewards." ”

Wang Yuncang snorted: "That's, I told you a long time ago that big families are not bad for money!"

"That is, the founder of the Zhengwupin canonized by the Buzhouzi Imperial Court, of course, is a big family, and it is definitely not bad for money. Fu Quan said with a flattering smile.

Wang Yuncang ignored him again, waved his hand, and turned to leave.

……

Back to the rented yard.

As soon as Wang Chen arrived at the door, he saw Ma Huateng coming towards him.

"Mr. Wang. Ma Huateng greeted him and said, "A hundred family members have been found, do you want to take us here, or?"

As soon as the yard was transferred, the family was ready, Wang Chen was overjoyed, and said, "Take it to my newly bought house, you go first, and I'll come over later." ”

"Bh. Ma Huateng walked out.

Wang Chen walked into the courtyard.

Just as he was about to ask Wang Wenxiu to pack his luggage and move to the new yard, suddenly, a voice stopped him.

"The owner. ”

Wang Chen followed the sound and looked over, it was Qian San, "What's wrong?"

Qian San touched his head and stood up, "The wood carving swallow you asked me to make an hour and a half ago has been done." ”

Belch.

So fast?

Three hours to do a wood carving?

Wang Chen was a little disappointed, thinking that the quality should not be much better, but he didn't show it on the surface, and said with a little interest: "Take me a look." ”

Qian San wiped his hands, took out the wood carving from his clothes pocket and handed it over.

After taking it, Wang Chen wanted to take a casual look at it, but when he saw the wood carving, he was stunned.

I saw that the head of this wood carving swallow was slightly raised, and the two wings were open to fly, the wood carving was very small, but whether it was the beak or the feathers on the wings, and even the claws were clearly visible, if it wasn't for the different colors, Wang Chen thought that this was a real swallow!

He was stunned by Qian San's craftsmanship!

"Owner, owner?"

Qian San's voice came from his ears.

Wang Chen suddenly woke up, looked over and said, "What's wrong?"

"Is there anything else you want? If it's okay, I'll continue to make beads. Qian San pointed to a large group of carpenters who were working in full swing.

Wang Chen didn't say anything in front of so many people, and said, "Go ahead." ”

Qian San was very honest, sat back on the ground, and continued to polish the beads.

After staring at it for a while, Wang Chen thought in his heart, such a talent must be retained, the craft of wood carving must be put into modern times, it is definitely a master-level person, but Qian San is actually just an ordinary carpenter?

He felt a little incredible.

Were ancient craftsmen so awesome?

Wang Chen thought of an explanation, these top craftsmen are equivalent to the founding of New China shortly after, there is not much mechanical equipment, the birth of the eighth-level fitter, it is said that the eight-level fitter's hands are more accurate than machinery under special circumstances, so there is no machine tool in ancient times, these people who rely on craftsmanship to eat, naturally the kung fu is quite powerful, as for why Qian San will wood carving skills, Wang Chen also figured out, the ancient construction industry is not as developed as modern times, it is impossible to have the work of building a house all the time, and it is necessary to make some side business to make money, such as making Buddhist beads for monks, such as wood carving。

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were eight-level fitters, so what should Qian San be called?

Grade 8 carpentry?

Well, it seems that you can divide the people under your command into grades in the future, what carpenter apprentice, carpenter small worker, carpenter master, carpenter master, carpenter master, carpenter god? Forget it, don't think about it, we are not a fantasy world, and the inferior horses of the strong men of the Dou Sect cannot catch up with the bloody drama of the fighters who ride thousands of miles of horses.

Wang Chen teased himself in his heart, but he was really shocked by Qian San's craftsmanship.

This is not the place to speak.

He didn't say much, walked inside, and informed Wang Wenxiu, Qu Shi and others to pack their luggage.

Wang Chen wants to move to his mansion in the Northern Song Dynasty before tonight, that is the house that rich people should live in!

……

Bedchamber.

Wang Chen was packing up his clothes.

Knock, there was a knock on the door, he thought it was Wang Wenxiu or Qu who came to report the progress of cleaning up, and said casually: "Come in." ”

The door creaked open.

There was a sound of footsteps from behind, and then, Wang Erlang's voice came, "Mr. Wang, I'm back." ”

Hearing the sound, Wang Chen, who was folding clothes on the side of the bed, turned his head to look over, only to see Wang Erlang in the dust, and said with relief: "It's hard for you to go to Taizhou this time, and I will find your father to receive twenty yuan later, and I will reward you." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Wang, thank you. Wang Erlang thanked again and again, and a happy smile appeared on his tired face after days of traveling, and said, "I brought back the money from selling bird's nest." ”

A few days ago, Wang Chen instructed Wang Erlang, Wang Sanlang and Jobs to go to Taizhou, Yangzhou and Chuzhou to choose shops, and prepare to open Wang Ji Branch, and by the way, Wang Erlang took 72 boxes of bird's nest to Taizhou Mansion and handed them over to the former Zhouzhi County, which is now Taizhou Zhizhou.

There were copper coins in the account, and Wang Chen was in a good mood, "Well, give it to me." ”

"Wait a minute. Wang Erlang said and began to undress.

Wang Chen was taken aback, your sister, buddy asked you for money, why are you taking off your clothes?

The next moment, he realized that he had missed something.

After Wang Erlang took off his coat, he found the belly of his clothes and tore the strip of cloth vigorously.

Tear pull.

The clothes were torn and torn, revealing the corners of a few pieces of bright yellow paper inside.

Wang Chen understood at a glance, Wang Erlang was very fine, hiding the money in his clothes and sewing it up, indeed, the ancient law and order was not very good, not to mention the roadblock robbery, even if there were not a few petty thieves, he saw that Wang Erlang was struggling, took out a pair of scissors from the dresser drawer, and helped cut it.

Wang Erlang took out a stack of flying money and handed it over, "The money is all in it." ”

Wang Chen took it and counted the numbers.

That's right, another sixty-three thousand three hundred and sixty into the account!

Haha, buddy is worth nearly 200,000 yuan in the Northern Song Dynasty!

What should I do with all this money?

……

Cheng.

Mansion.

Entrance to the yard.

Wang Chen came over in a carriage and saw a hundred family members recruited by Ma Huateng for him.

Seeing him coming, Ma Huateng immediately said loudly: "The owner is here." ”

The family members lined up in four or five rows said hello.

"The owner. ”

"I've seen the owner. ”

Shouting everything.

Wang Chen looked at it at a glance and saw that all the families were relatively tall, three or five of them were even more than one meter eighty, standing in the crowd and feeling like they stood out from the crowd, he hummed, stepped forward to Ma Huateng and said: "I have seen people, you will make a list for me later, and write your age, height, weight, and name clearly." ”

Ma Huateng nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Wang." ”

The family members are scattered below, discussing something.

"This is our host?"

"I don't look very old. ”

"People are the founders of the five grades canonized by the imperial court, and we will also be the family members of the official eunuch family in the future, and we will have more face when we go out. ”

"Hey, isn't it. ”

"I don't know what the owner's temperament is, what do you want us to do? I remember saying before I came here that it would be very hard to work here. ”

"What's wrong with working hard? Five dollars a month, where do you go to find such a beautiful difference?"

"That's just as well. ”

Seeing that there were no rules for the family, Wang Chen frowned, didn't say anything for the time being, and thought about it in his heart, wait for the buddies to come back to the modern era to get a modern military training plan, and then practice hard, see if you still have rules by then!

Five dollars a month's beauty difference?

Not everyone is eligible to take my money!

Thinking about it this way, overall, Wang Chen is still quite satisfied with a hundred family members, and now that he is living in a mansion and has so many family members, he is finally about to start experiencing the life of ancient nobles.
