On the second day, Lu Yunzhi was sent away, and Xia Xiaodong took Lu Chen and Mu Mu to Muzhaotang.

Although the shop is small, it is its own after all, and it is still necessary to make full use of it.

Since Lu Chen took over, Mu Zhaotang has changed slightly. Originally, Mu Zhaotang had two guys, but now he simply dismissed one, the one Xia Xiaodong had seen before, and he was really not brilliant, lazy and timid.

One guy is missing, and correspondingly, the hours of operation are shortened. Originally, there was no business to hold on, and it was not necessary to open the door from morning to night.

When I passed the restaurant on the left, there seemed to be an argument and a fight. As soon as Xia Xiaodong stood up and glanced at it twice, he saw that a stool flew out of it, and it fell at the door with a bang, breaking a stool leg.

"Hurry up, hurry up." Lu Chen hurriedly beckoned Xia Xiaodong to rush into Muzhaotang to hide.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. If you hit yours, just don't hit us.

When Gu Lao's shopkeeper and Gu Si saw Xia Xiaodong, they were quite stunned for a long time. On the one hand, of course, because the girl I had met before turned out to be the new owner; On the other hand, it's inevitably a little strange, obviously it should be the same person, how come the last time I saw it, it was just a middle-class posture, but this time it was a lot brighter?

Everyone said a few words about the arrangement in the shop, and Xia Xiaodong handed the drawn manuscript to Gu Si: "You can see first, can you make it according to the drawing, the faster the better, the process must be accurate!" To make it before the end of the year, I'm ready to give it as a gift. ”

Gu Si studied the pieces of paper with 'Wind Flower' painted on them for a long time, and looked at Xia Xiaodong suspiciously: "This thing ...... Gifts? ”

Taking wood carvings as gifts is naturally commonplace. Whether it is Guanyin sitting on the old master of the Buddha, or the ancient trees, small bridges and flowing water, all kinds of shapes, Gu Si has done it.

But this 'wind flower' looks like a flower, not like a flower tree, not like a tree, in fact, not like anything Gu Si has ever seen or known.

"Hmm-" Hearing Gu Si ask, Xia Xiaodong pondered for a moment: "If you think it's too monotonous, then it's good to engrave some ornaments on it." ”

The point of "......" is not ornamentation. Gu Si felt that as a carpenter who had been a self-proclaimed master for generations, it was simply useless to do such a thing. However, the new owner offered to make things for the first time, but it was not easy to refuse.

Gu Si turned over the yellow calendar on the wall with a calm face: "The tenth day of the first month can be done." ”

The tenth day of the first month is the day after tomorrow. The meaning of Gu Si is that this kind of thing can be made in a day and a half.

Xia Xiaodong was surprised. I thought that I would have ten days and a half a month, but it seems that after Yuan Niangzi, Gu Si is also ready to surprise himself.

"That's great, I'll come back then. If there is a problem, you can adjust it right away. "Xia Xiaodong is going to do more if it goes well.

While he was talking, one of the guys from the small restaurant on the left ran over and shouted, "Dajiang! Oe! Smashed two tables and seven stools today! Hurry. After shouting, he raised his eyes and saw that there were many people in Muzhaotang, and there was a girl, who was so frightened that she immediately became dumb, nodded at Dajiang, and ran away.

Oe is the only guy left. At that moment, he was very skillful in counting out the tables and chairs in the shop according to the number, and ran a few times to move them to the next door.

Xia Xiaodong finally understood why there were so many tables and chairs in Muzhaotang.

This kind of table and chair that can be stacked is a favorite of restaurants.

The old shopkeeper Gu was a little embarrassed on his face, and he laughed dryly twice, and was about to explain.

Oe is back.

Dajiang brought back the money for the tables and chairs, and also brought a sentence from the restaurant owner: "Lao Ma said that the table last time was too strong." There was a whole person thrown up, and it didn't break! Let's make our secret wounds clearer. ”

The old shopkeeper blushed when he landed, and he didn't dare to look in the direction of Xia Xiaodong, stared at Dajiang and wiped his neck, and motioned to this honest young man to hurry up.

Xia Xiaodong didn't think it was anything. Muzhaotang is not a police station, is it still responsible for maintaining local order?

The restaurant where there are always people fighting, most of them are a gathering place for the three religions and nine streams. If people want to fight, we can't take care of it. The boss wants to earn money for tables, chairs and benches, and we can't take care of it.

We can only meet the needs of the customer, and do the dark wound of this table and chair just right.

It is really a technical job to stand tall when eating normally, and to fall apart at any time during a fight.

"What did you do before?" Xia Xiaodong asked Gu Si.

"One is to make the tenon thinner," Gu Si did not shy away from his 'stunt': "Uh, you know what the tenon is, right?" ”

"You know, it's going to be inserted, the little piece that protrudes." This little bit of common sense is still available in Xia Xiaodong.

"The tenon is thin, and if it is loosened when it is installed, it will be easy to break." Gu Si used the index finger of his right hand to represent the tenon, and his left hand was held into a hole to indicate the other end of the connection, and he inserted his finger into it and moved it a few times as a demonstration.

This action is a bit evil, but fortunately, Xia Xiaodong is very pure, and he didn't want to be crooked at all, and immediately asked: "What about the other way?" ”

Gu Si scratched his head: "Oh, that's simpler, that is, when putting the material, just put the material with insect eyes, nodules or something, and put it in the place where you are struggling." ”

Both of these methods are okay, but the effect is not guaranteed, and there is a possibility that the masses may be injured by mistake - maybe they are just normal diners, and they just break their legs when they encounter an unstable table, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be scalded by the overturned food.

Xia Xiaodong looked at the tables and chairs in the shop: "Do you know how to make folding stools?" ”

"Folding stool?" Gu Si said that he had never heard of a folding stool.

Haven't these fighting artifacts that are necessary for food stalls yet appeared?

Xia Xiaodong thought about it, it was really possible.

Even something like a chair, which seemed to have no technical content and no creativity to speak of, came about very late—everyone used to sit on mats. No, it's not sitting, it's kneeling on the mat eating, drinking, and having fun.

How could there be so many words related to 'Xi'? It's 'attending' again, it's 'attending' again, inviting a guest to 'sit full', and serving a dish is called 'the treasure of the table'. When a newcomer appears, it's hard to find even a 'place'.

"Do you have any paper here?" Xia Xiaodong took out a charcoal strip from his purse. This thing is easy to use and easy to carry.

Paper...... Of course there is, just tear one off the ledger.

Gu Si looked at the folding stool pattern drawn by Xia Xiaodong in front of him, touched a large handful of beard on his chin, and somehow, suddenly remembered his father and grandfather.

For several generations, the Gu family has been obsessed with woodwork.

However, how could such a simple structure not be thought of earlier?
