Chapter 127: The Craftsman

The four of them went upstairs to Chang Zheng's faΓ§ade, good guys, it was still very lively inside, several plasterers were laying tiles in a corner, and two carpenters were playing on the billiard table, Chang Zheng was directing the plasterers to work.

Ding Hongxing called "Brother Chang", Chang Zheng turned his head and saw that it was Ding Hongxing, he said in surprise: "Hongxing, why are you here?" ”

Ding Hongxing said: "I was playing at your billiards stand just now, and I heard that you were here, so I came to you for dinner." ”

Chang Zheng said: "You haven't eaten yet? Let's go, I'll invite you to dinner and go to the Guicheng Hotel. ”

Ding Hongxing said: "Don't go to the Guicheng Hotel, it's too far, isn't there a new small restaurant next to it?" Last time I ate it, it tasted good, so I went there. ”

Chang Zheng also knew about the small restaurant, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's eat here." ”

Chang Zheng shouted to the two carpenters: "Lao Hu, Lao Huang, let's go, let's eat." ”

The two carpenters answered, put down their work, and went to wash their hands, and Chang Zheng said to Hu Zuyu on the side: "Zuyu, you just stare here, I'll bring you some food later." ”

Hu Zuyu nodded and agreed.

Ding Hongxing asked, "What about the plasterers?" Don't ask them to eat? ”

Chang Zheng said angrily: "Why do you still ask them to eat?" It's good if I don't beat them up! ”

Ding Hongxing said strangely: "What's wrong?" ”

Chang Zheng said: "A few days ago, Hu Zuyu was staring at this side, supervising their decoration, they saw that Zuyu was young, so confused, and they didn't have to worry about work, today it was Lao Hu who found out that the tiles they laid were completely foolish, and they had been warped, how could this work?" So I personally supervised their rework today, and if I didn't get it right, I would have to return the wages I was given, and I had to compensate for my losses, so I would give them food? Solve it yourself! If it weren't for the fact that you often persuade me not to beat people, according to my original temper, I would have to beat them! ”

Ding Hongxing was secretly funny, Chang Zheng's temper was still so hot, but he was able to restrain his temper, which had already surprised Ding Hongxing, if it was when he was young, it would definitely be an old fist.

In the past two years, the economy has been overheated, there are many houses, Chinese now move to a new house and like to decorate, this kind of plasterer is popular, plasterer's technique and Su zhì are also a little uneven, fortunately Hu Zuyu's father is still more knowledgeable, otherwise he was really fooled, but fortunately he found it now, otherwise after the opening, it will be time-consuming and laborious to rework, and it will delay business, Chang Zheng will definitely find their trouble, and if it is not good, it will have to happen.

Ding Hongxing said with a smile: "It's good to find out, and it won't delay the opening." ”

At this time, two carpenters washed their hands and came over, and they went downstairs together to the small restaurant.

Entering the small restaurant, Ding Hongxing asked Xiaolong to order, he secretly instructed Xiaolong, or let the proprietress send some food to the plasterers, Chang Zheng said just angry words, and he couldn't really let people work hungry.

The proprietress beckoned a few people to sit down at a round table, and Ding Hongxing smiled at the carpenter who was often called Lao Hu: "You are Hu Zuyu's father, Master Hu, right?" ”

Master Hu hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, Zuyu is my boy." ”

Ding Hongxing said: "I've heard of the name for a long time, I have long known that you are doing a good job in carpentry, and I often play on the billiard table you make, but I haven't seen you yet." ”

Master Hu said shyly: "Alas, craftsmen, rely on craftsmanship to eat, if this bit of craftsmanship is not good, then who will give you food?" ”

Chang Zheng said: "Yes, Hongxing, look at Lao Hu, and then look at those plasterers, this is the gap!" ”

Ding Hongxing nodded, these days, it is really rare to see a diligent craftsman like Master Hu, Master Hu does carpentry with the traditional mortise and tenon structure, but now many carpenters in order to save trouble, are directly fixed with iron nails, such carpentry work in terms of beauty and durability of course can not be compared with the use of mortise and tenon structure.

This phenomenon shows a general impetuous psychology in the nineties, and the poor Chinese went to the other extreme after the economic upturn, that is, they looked at money, wished they could make money in everything, and they wanted to save trouble and make quick money, and it was impossible to dive into the craft, which also highlighted the preciousness of craftsmen like Master Hu.

Chang Zheng looked at Wang Chaoyang and asked, "Red Star, who is this brother?" ”

Ding Chang he knew him, he saw him when he went to Shen Fucai in the past two days, and knew that Ding Chang was also Ding Hongxing's cousin.

Ding Hongxing said with a smile: "I still met at your billiards stand, and he also played his ball very well, and he didn't eat just now, so I just came to eat with you." ”

Chang Zheng nodded and said, "It's all friends who come, let's drink more wine later!" ”

Wang Chaoyang was not restrained, he nodded and said, "Okay!" ”

Wang Chaoyang asked again: "Brother Chang's new faΓ§ade is also in the billiards business?" ”

Chang Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, open another billiard hall here, since your ball is played well, you can play it casually in the future." ”

Wang Chaoyang said: "Okay, when will it open?" I'll be here to make a splash then. ”

Chang Zheng is a person who likes to be lively, he said happily: "That dare is good, but it is estimated that it will take a while to open, and it will be around New Year's Day next year, mainly because Master Hu's carpentry work is too exquisite, and it takes time!" ”

When it comes to Master Hu's profession, Master Hu said: "Chang Zheng, this carpentry work can't be sloppy, it must be good-looking, but also durable, what kind of bar counter, wine cabinet, billiard table of yours, I promise to do it beautifully, but also strong, and it will not be bad for decades." ”

Ding Hongxing said with a smile: "That has to be done carefully and meticulously, which is also related to the grade and image of your billiard hall!" ”

Chang Zheng's words just now were actually a joke, of course he also hoped to do a better job of carpentry here, otherwise he wouldn't have invited Master Hu.

Chang Zheng smiled: "Master Hu, even if you do it for me, it doesn't matter if it takes a few more days, I was joking just now." ”

Wang Chaoyang nodded and said: "Brother Chang, I see that the decoration of your billiard hall is still very high-grade, and it is almost the same as the billiard hall in a big coastal city." ”

Ding Hongxing said to Chang Zheng: "Chaoyang was originally a navy in a big coastal city. ”

Chang Zheng said: "It turned out to be a person who has seen the world, I won't tell you, I opened this billiard hall or the idea of Red Star, he asked me to decorate it more high-grade, and I also went to Jiangcheng to inspect the high-end billiard hall to see how they decorate it, and the decoration here is to learn from others." ”
