Chapter 5 How to Repair?
Although Yanyu Town is only a small town, it is not poor and backward.
The simple and kind folk customs, the quaint and nostalgic old streets, and the scenery of the Jiangnan water town like an ink painting make it a collection of tourists all year round.
The prosperity of tourism has led to the rise of related industries, such as express delivery.
In today's society, whether a township has an express delivery industry has become a standard for measuring the speed of economic development.
Xiao Zining came to the express station, packed and sent the seal, and walked back in a relaxed mood.
Although the breakup with his girlfriend made him feel a little depressed, no matter how gloomy he was, he would be dispelled by the excitement brought by Heavenly Creation.
Although he has only obtained precision techniques now, Xiao Zining believes that as long as time passes, the rest of the pages of this ancient book will be opened to him one by one.
"Xiao Ning!"
Just when Xiao Zining was imagining the future, a vicissitudes of life suddenly sounded from the house next to him.
After seeing who it was, he hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile on his face: "Granny Cai, what are you going to do with so many pieces of wood?"
"Hey, what else can I do, of course I'm looking for your help. The silver-haired Granny Cai was a little rickety, and said after putting down a few pieces of wood to take a breath.
"Looking for my help?" Xiao Zining's eyes fell on the wood, and he suddenly realized.
He smiled and helped Granny Cai to sit down and said, "Granny Cai, I heard grandpa talk about you, and he said that you want to repair this kang table, right?"
"Well, that's right!"
Granny Cai looked at these wooden sections with affection, and said in a somewhat gloomy tone: "This kang table used to be very good, who would have thought that it would become like this later, I don't know if it was chiseled by insects or what's going on, anyway, it just fell apart." ”
"If something else is broken and thrown away, but this kang table is my dowry, my father personally built it for me, I think of him when I see the kang table, as if I have returned to my hometown, he is still with me, I am really reluctant to throw it!"
Speaking of this, Granny Cai rested, and then said to Xiao Zining: "Lao Xiao said that I can leave it to you to try to repair it, I think it's the same thing, it's like this anyway, don't worry about it, watch the repair." If you can fix it, you can fix it, and if you really can't do it, forget it. ”
Having said that, Granny Cai's eyes were still full of expectation.
Speaking of which, Xiao's shop is also in the restoration business, and Xiao Zining's restoration skills are not bad.
But no matter how good it is, he is helpless to put it on the table legs that have fallen apart before.
This is not a simple falling shelf, but almost fragmented, no part is intact, one of the table legs is even broken into four, after the baptism of the years, the table top looks even more dilapidated.
If you look closely, you will find that this kang table must have been repaired before, and you can clearly see the nail marks.
It's just that it seems that there are still a few pieces missing, how to fix it?
But now Xiao Zining, who has the blessing of Tiangong Kaiwu Precision Technique, is already a veritable craftsman, and he is very sure that he can repair this kang table.
Besides, seeing the expectation in Granny Cai's faint old eyes, can he say something to refuse?
"Granny Cai, give me this kang table of yours, and I'll start repairing it after lunch. But first, I want to ask you, is it just repaired, or is it necessary to renovate and paint the kang table?" Xiao Zining squatted down and turned over the wooden section and asked.
"Don't paint it, I still like the old color. Granny Cai waved her hand and said.
"Okay, got it, I'll bring that thing back first, you wait for my news. ”
Xiao Zining neatly returned all the wooden pieces to Luo Hao, picked them up and threw them to the store first, and then bought some food casually and went home to make lunch.
During the meal, he mentioned this matter to his grandfather, and Xiao Qianchuan said with emotion: "Hey, it's not easy for your Granny Cai, my wife left early, and the children are not around, I heard that there is a grandson who is still teaching in Africa or something." ”
"She told me about the kang table a long time ago, that table is her dowry, it is her thoughts, you have to use snacks to help her fix it as much as possible, you know?"
"Got it, Grandpa!"
Xiao Zining nodded and said seriously: "I already have a number in my heart, I will go back to the store to repair after eating." ”
"Good!"
After lunch, Xiao Zining cleaned up and returned to the shop, and he first arranged all the wooden sections in front of him in an orderly manner.
The top of the kang table and the tooth board around it are made of authentic mahogany, and the ruddy powder can be clearly seen from the wear and tear.
The face frame is a kind of wood called eucalyptus, and the four legs are very finely textured, and the white skin is warped, which is a very common fragrant wood in the local area.
If it is really painted, the steps will be very complicated, but Granny Cai does not need it, that is, it is simply polished and assembled to complete.
It is easy to say, but it is still difficult for ordinary craftsmen to really do it.
The connection between the table legs and the panel, the tooth plate and the tabletop, and the hollow exterior decoration, any step that goes wrong will be wasted.
Let's get started.
Just as Xiao Zining adjusted his state and was about to start working, suddenly there was a screeching tire scraping sound outside the store, and then a big grinning voice sounded from the door, "Zining, are you there?" ”
"Pick up your head, big head, can't you guys park the car steadily? Every time you have to do this, you don't feel sorry for the tires, I'm still afraid that the ground will fall!" Xiao Zining raised his eyebrows and walked out of the shop and shouted angrily.
The one who came over was a young man of the same age as Xiao Zining, wearing a black Adidas tracksuit, his facial features were as three-dimensional as a knife, and his appearance was tough with a little delicateness.
With a height of 1.8 meters, he looks very energetic with a board head, but his head seems to be bigger than ordinary people.
His name is Chen Yiwen, nicknamed Datou, and he is Xiao Zining's best friend.
"Hehe, pay attention next time, pay attention next time, aren't I excited? Chen Yiwen touched his head and smiled.
"What are you excited about?" Xiao Zining pouted.
"Of course I'm excited, go, go inside and say, I tell you, this time I really found a good baby. Speaking of business, Chen Yiwen suddenly lifted his spirits, he lifted the big black bag in his hand, and pretended to hold it mysteriously in his arms.
"Pretending to be a ghost, can you find a treasure, is it still a treasure?" Xiao Zining teased slightly.
"Huh!"
Chen Yiwen walked into the back room, and found the table legs placed on the ground, and couldn't help but ask with a slight difference: "Zining, do you want to repair this pile of rags?"
"Right!"
Xiao Zining glanced at the black bag in his hand, picked up the bottle of mineral water and handed it over and said, "This is a kang table in the neighborhood, broken like this, you want me to fix it, I was just about to do it and you came." Okay, let's talk about it, what's the matter?"
