Chapter 40: A New Atmosphere
The three books bought back from the bookstore allowed Qin Feng to successfully spend three boring days. Qin Feng went to the carpentry shop a day late, but unexpectedly found that the middle-aged carpenter master in the shop was really 24 hours later than the resumption of work on the tenth day of the first month as stated in the notice on the door. There is no doubt that this is a typical post-holiday procrastination and not wanting to go to work syndrome.
"What do you want to do this time?" The middle-aged master sat unprofessionally by a large pile of wood and smoked, not afraid of the dry winter, and Mars would set all his possessions on fire.
Qin Feng stood on the side of the cart and gestured very carefully: "You get me an awning, the canopy should be bigger than the car, and the people standing on the side can't get drenched in the rain, the height should be one meter nine, and I don't want half a centimeter high." After it is done, paint me with a layer of wood paint inside and out, it is not too expensive, it can be moisture-proof, and it is best to choose the one with a smaller taste. ”
"If the taste is small, it must be expensive. The carpenter interrupted.
Qin Feng asked, "How much is it expensive?"
The carpenter walked to the side of the cart, opened the door and glanced inside, with a green smoke in his nose and said, "You have to paint the car inside and out, at least a whole bucket of paint, about 100 yuan." ”
Qin Feng didn't think it was expensive, and agreed very simply: "Then it's 100 yuan." ”
The master carpenter took a pen and paper and wrote a few words on it.
Qin Feng pointed to the glass cover again and said, "I still want to install a small lamp here, will you do it?"
"I can ask someone else to make this for you, what kind of lamp do you want?" said the master carpenter.
"The power doesn't have to be too high, it doesn't matter if the light is weak, the light bulb should be fixed, you can't shake it as soon as you push it, you have to bring your own power generation, I don't know how to pull the wires on the side of the road, it's best to use a battery." Qin Feng said very carefully.
"Batteries aren't cheap either. The carpenter said.
"How much do you get?" Qin Feng asked.
"At least five or six hundred. The carpenter replied.
When Qin Feng heard this price, he couldn't help but be a little speechless, frowned slightly and calculated it, but felt that the money could not be saved, so he gritted his teeth and said: "Then get me a five hundred, I can use it for a year and a half." ”
After Qin Feng finished speaking, the carpenter master stuffed the cigarette into his mouth, and counted the cost of the cigarette in his mouth: "The battery is 500, the painting is 100, the canopy should also be 500, and this lamp, it is 200, and the manual ...... Count you 200, it's cheaper for old customers. It's a total of 1500, and you give a deposit of 800 yuan first. ”
The offer was obviously inflated, but Qin Feng still paid happily. In other words, if the picture is cheap, he can buy some materials and transform it by himself, but the effect of his own transformation is definitely not as good as that of professionals, so since he plans to do it, Qin Feng simply makes it more advanced.
The carpentry master took the money, and immediately became motivated, and when he heard Qin Feng say that he was in a hurry to set up a stall, he immediately promised loudly that it would definitely be done before the sun set tomorrow. How could Qin Feng allow others to brag about taking his money, so he unceremoniously climbed up the pole, and put pressure on the carpenter master very profiteously: "This is what you said, I will pay 100 yuan less one day later." ”
The carpenter master was immediately unhappy, and said angrily: "You sit and wait, I'll start work now!"
Qin Feng smiled slightly, turned around and left.
The next day was February 2nd, a day that had no memorable significance other than "two".
After Qin Feng got up in the morning, he began to count the seconds until the sun set, stayed up until half past four and finally couldn't wait to go out.
When I came to the carpentry factory again, it was just when the sky was turning into darkness and night.
Qin Feng's cart was placed at the door of the carpentry shop, and in the distance, he saw the brand-new big red awning. As Qin Feng requested, the awning covered all four sides of the cart tightly, and at first glance, even the volume of the cart seemed to be larger.
Smelling the faint and not pungent smell of paint that permeated the air, Qin Feng stepped forward and glanced into the glass cover first.
There is already an energy-saving lamp in the glass cover, the bulb is fixed in the corner of the glass cover, and a wire runs along the fold of the glass cover, through the small hole in the tabletop, and extends into the inside of the cart, under the small hole, there should be the switch of the battery and the light.
Qin Feng glanced at the big hole he had made by himself before, the big hole had already been filled, and there was an extra layer of wood on it, and when it was brushed with paint, it looked like new.
The carpentry master, who was finishing eating in the house, saw Qin Feng hurriedly put the dishes and chopsticks aside and walked out.
"You're here. He smiled and walked to the front of the car, bent down, and lit the energy-saving lamps from the car. A soft glow shines through the glass cover, and the menu sheet attached to the outside of the glass cover is clearly illuminated.
"Well, it's not bad, it's all done as you say, and there is no cutting corners. The carpenter said proudly.
"Well, it's good, is the paint dry?" Qin Feng asked.
The carpenter said, "It's already dry." ”
Qin Feng gently touched the car body, and asked again: "When will the smell of this paint be cleared?"
"Ten days and half a month, if you need it urgently, you can use a fan to blow more, or get some flowers and plants to put in to remove the smell, it can be a little faster for a few days. The carpenter beckoned.
Qin Feng nodded lightly, and silently counted the days in his heart: today is the 2nd, the school is back on the 8th, and the school will start on the 10th, which is almost a week's time, but for the sake of safety, it is not impossible to leave this cart to dry for a few more days.
After paying the balance and pushing the brand-new cart back to the parking lot of the community, Qin Feng immediately went to get some weeds and leaves that could be seen everywhere in the community, and stuffed the small lattice in the car to the brim. In the next few days, Qin Feng's daily work was to replace the plants inside every four or five hours, and after a few days, the smell of paint on the cart weakened a lot.
However, in order to ensure the safety of the ingredients, Qin Feng was still patient and waited for many more days.
Seeing that Qin Jianguo's unit had started, and seeing that the city's primary and secondary schools had almost been open for a week, Qin Feng held back his strength, and waited until the first Friday of the new semester, the day before Valentine's Day, Qin Feng borrowed a water pipe from the old man in the parking lot and washed the cart inside and out.
After cleaning the cart, there was no longer any smell of paint, Qin Feng carefully wiped every corner of the cart, and then carefully installed the gas stove and gas canister that had been sealed for nearly a month.
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Qin Feng carried two large vegetable baskets and returned to the long-lost vegetable market.
Tofu Shih Tzu hadn't seen Qin Feng for many days, and when he saw him come to buy tofu, he couldn't help but show a happy look, and while packing Qin Feng, he said softly: "I thought you didn't set up a stall and went back to school." ”
"The cart was painted, and I waited for the smell to dissipate these days. Qin Feng explained, and asked casually, "Are you feeling better?"
Tofu Shih Tzu's face was confused for a moment, and then he smiled gently and said, "It's good morning, it's just a little cold." Thank you for helping my family Su Tang that day, she told me. Speaking of this, she paused slightly, and then said in a slightly apologetic tone: "Child, Su Tang is still young now, and the most important thing in front of her is to take the university entrance examination, and you don't have that kind of conditions now, what does Auntie mean...... You understand, right?"
Qin Feng was slightly stunned, and then smiled open-mindedly: "Auntie, if you put a hundred hearts, I will definitely not affect her to be admitted to university, we are still 108,000 miles away from that step!"
Tofu Shih Tzu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "That's good, I'm afraid you won't be able to open it." ”
Qin Feng asked very gossipyly: "Are there many people who can't think about this matter?"
Tofu Shih Tzu showed a helpless look, shook his head and sighed: "Too much......"
