Chapter 080: There are many acquaintances in the small town
The old man took the paper handed over by Lu Xiancheng and looked at it and asked, "What are you painting here, it's not earthy!" βγ
"You give me an estimate of how much labor it will take, or how much it will cost if it is contracted labor and materials!" Lu Xiancheng could see from these pieces of furniture that the old man's skills were not bad, and he naturally remembered the decoration of his small villa, the furniture in it was all unavailable in the world, and the Lu family was special!
As for what the old man said, this is true, because this style will be called modern Chinese in the future, not to mention that it is not popular now, and it is estimated that the name has not yet been called.
Lu Xiancheng didn't bother to talk to the old man about any style or something, anyway, they would come according to their own style at that time, and as for how to tie Lu Xiancheng, they had to rely on such a master.
Zhou Guangyong stretched out his head at this time and asked, "The villa project in your hand?" Seeing Lu Xiancheng nodded, Zhou Guangyong knew in his heart.
But when he heard this, Lu Xingguo's ears were different, he thought that his son had a few villa projects in his hands. Lu Xingguo closed his mouth and pricked up his ears to listen carefully.
"Look at what you're feat!"
"How good can you find? Elm and beech are all made, if there is walnut wood, you can also use imported oak and black walnut, the requirement is not to use a nail, all the furniture is tenoned and secure...... "Lu Xiancheng said the request here.
"I haven't used any oak and black walnut, and I don't have any problems with elm and beech, it's just handmade," the old man looked at Lu Xiancheng and said, "I don't dare to open this price, if you really want to make it, wait until I go back and discuss it with my son."
Speaking of this, the old man continued: "If I do it, I don't think it will be less than 15,000 yuan!" After speaking, the old man also glanced at Lu Xiancheng.
Lu Xiancheng didn't know what this meant, he was afraid that he couldn't afford it, but he still wanted to find out.
Lu Xingguo smiled when he heard this: "Mr. Shi, you really dare to open it!" βγ At present, the salary of ordinary workers in small counties is only four or five hundred yuan, and fifteen thousand is not a small amount.
The old man couldn't help but blush when he heard this, and it was estimated that in his heart, in a few months, he would earn fifteen thousand with his disciples and grandchildren, which was a large amount.
But Lu Xiancheng knew that he had missed the present, and in ten years, a master of such a craft would go to the workshop for an easy twenty or thirty thousand a month.
"And when are you going to send me news? If the price is right, I may have to start it in early March," Lu Xiancheng said.
The old man saw that Lu Xiancheng really wanted to do his work, so he thought about it for a while and said: "Wait for the new year, I will take my son to the county town to talk to you after the new year, and we will discuss it well when the time comes."
Lu Xiancheng said: "Don't be a year later, I will go back to Shicheng on the sixth day of the new year, there is not much time, let's talk about this matter a year ago, it won't take long, everyone will give a number if they meet, if it doesn't work, then that's it."
The old man said: "It really didn't work out a few years ago, my son is negotiating with the town to rent wasteland!" βγ
"Rent wasteland? Can you rent wasteland now? As soon as he heard the news, Lu Xiancheng couldn't help blurting out, and after speaking, he looked at his father with his eyes.
As a member of the small bureaucrats in a small county, although Lu Xingguo is no longer in office, the news is still quite smart, and the news is completely public.
Lu Xingguo said: "It's been started a long time ago, isn't it advocating small steps and fast running, the townships started in the middle of last year, but it has not been effective."
"What is your son going to rent land for?" After listening to his father, Lu Xiancheng asked the old man one more question.
Lu Xiancheng is not too nervous about renting land now, because the land in Gushan is expensive and the grass of the little devil is popularized, and now there is nothing to plant in this barren mountain and wilderness, and the only thing that can be planted is trees, but now few people think of planting fast-growing forests.
One is unconscious, the other is that there is no capital, even people in the poor countryside are a problem to eat, where is there money to invest in saplings, not to mention that even the county can not deduct excess funds, even if the county opens a white strip, the county's major banks don't look at the faΓ§ade of the water decoration of the people look like dogs, but each family can starve to death in the treasury when the door is closed at night, where is the money lent to people.
"Plant fruit trees!" The old man said.
As soon as he heard that the old man's son was going to plant fruit trees, Lu Xiancheng sighed twice in his heart, and from now on he will count down to the old man's son. The fruits grown can be eaten, but they are not competitive with other places, and the yield will not be high if the land is poor.
"Otherwise, you see when you have time, we will take the time to go to you," Lu Xiancheng said.
As soon as the old man heard about it: "Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will be completed until the twenty-ninth year of the year!" βγ
Lu Xiancheng thought for a while and asked Zhou Guangyong, "Do you have time tomorrow?" βγ
"I have time!" Zhou Guangyong said.
Lu Xiancheng listened and said to the old man: "Then we will go over at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, I don't know how long it will take to get to you?" βγ
"You take the car to the village, and then I'll pick you up," the old man said.
Lu Xiancheng waved his hand: "No need, let's drive directly!" βγ
When Lao Lu heard the old man say that he came to pick him up, he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, and said in his heart: I have nothing to do, do I have a car, don't you take your donkey cart?
Lu Xingguo said at this time: "They haven't opened the highway there, the highway has only been built to the township, and the next road, the car can't get up, so you can only take the big car!" βγ
The so-called cart is a flatbed cart pulled by a donkey or a mule.
Listening to what his father said, Lu Xiancheng felt that he was now N years later, and he didn't know that now the highway only leads to the township, even from the township to the county seat, there are few asphalt roads, and it is generally a gravel road that can walk two cars in both directions.
As for the township to the villages, all of them are old dirt roads, and when it rains, when you step on them, when you lift them up, you will have a foot in mud. And the mud here is not the same as the general, special muddy, waiting for the day to dry, the rain through the imprint is particularly hard, even if you use a hammer to knock it has to take a lot of effort to level, extremely difficult to do.
"Then let's set the place to meet in the township?" Lu Xiancheng thought for a moment and said.
"It's done!" The old man thought for a moment and agreed.
Lu Xiancheng listened, wrote down his mobile phone number on the paper he had just drawn, and then handed it to the old man: "This is my phone, you can call it if you have anything."
After talking to the old man, the old man also described to Lu Xiancheng where to meet in the township, and just like that, everyone left the old man's stall selling stools.
As soon as he left the old man's house, Lu Xingguo said: "I can't imagine that no one wants anything made by 'Carpenter Shi'!" βγ
"Dad, he's famous?" Lu Xiancheng asked.
Lu Xingguo nodded and said: "Ancestral craftsmanship, before the liberation, almost all the daughters of families who married their sons and relatives had to ask their families to make some furniture, and your bed was made by your grandmother when I married your mother." At the beginning of the reform, there were a lot of people who begged their family to make furniture, and when your second uncle got married, he didn't rush to make a bed, who knew that now he has been reduced to selling stools on the street."
As soon as he mentioned his own bed, Lu Xiancheng couldn't help but feel a little more confident, although his own bed was old-fashioned, but no matter how much he shook such an old bed, he couldn't hear the obvious squeak, and he came out when he saw the feeling of being thick and solid.
"Which of your clients is so rich?" Lu Xingguo asked.
How can Lu Xiancheng say that this customer is your son, he opened his mouth and said: "It's really hard to say what rich people think!" βγ
Zhou Guangyong wanted to laugh but was not funny when he heard it, so he had to turn his head and give everyone a sneaky pleasure in the back of his head.
After shopping for a while, Lu Muzhi's phone arrived, and they hurriedly went back to drive Lu Muzhi to pick up, and then turned back to their home.
When he was about to arrive at the door, Lu Xiancheng remembered the big bones, and hurriedly said to his father who was driving: "Oh, I almost forgot a big thing."
Hearing his son say this, Lu Xingguo subconsciously braked, and the car suddenly stopped: "What's the matter?" βγ
"Uncle, can you not be like this, the car is driving one by one, you see that my head almost hit the chair just now" Lu Muzhi was a little dissatisfied.
Lu Xingguo's car was originally average, and he hadn't touched the car for several years, so it was a blessing to be able to maintain this level now. And the more skilled people are, the more they like to drive, and from going to returning Lu Xingguo has been dominating the driver's position and refusing to come down.
"It's not that your brother was shocked," Lu Xingguo made an excuse.
Lu Xiancheng said: "Erha has a big bone, which is a section of the big cow leg bone, and when I was in Shicheng, I played with it and bit it, and I forgot to bring it back."
Lu Xingguo listened and said: "That's simple, you get out of the car and follow the road all the way to the west for about three or four hundred meters, you can see the right vegetable market, there must be beef bones there in the time period of the previous year!" βγ
Hearing that the road was only three or four hundred meters, Lu Xiancheng immediately pushed open the car door and walked down, got out of the car and looked at Zhou Guangyong and the old god was sitting on the car and bent down slightly: "Come down!" βγ
"What am I going to do when you go to the vegetable market to buy bones!" Zhou Guangyong reluctantly moved his ass and got out of the car.
"I don't have any eyesight, so you carry the bones!"
Seeing that the goods came out, Lu Xiancheng snapped and closed the car door.
Lu Xiancheng and Zhou Guangyong walked over in the direction their father said.
The two chatted while walking, and it took nearly ten minutes to reach the small vegetable market.
"Lu Bo, these three or four hundred meters are really long enough, I see more than twice as much," Zhou Guangyong stood at the door of the vegetable market, looked back at the road he had walked, and said with a sigh.
"It's all here, go in and buy things and leave" Lu Xiancheng dragged Zhou Guangyong to the small vegetable market.
The small vegetable market is not large, and the two rows of cement platforms are about 100 steps long, but there are many temporary wooden shelves on the side of the surrounding walls, so that the stalls selling vegetables have almost doubled.
If there are more stalls, the place will not come out of thin air, and there will naturally be fewer people. Although the whole vegetable market is small, it is now crowded by people, and the sound of bargaining is endless.
After following the crowd for a while, Lu Xiancheng found a stall selling meat and saw a steak like beef written on the stall.
Standing in front of the stall, Lu Xiancheng asked the stall owner in his thirties who was bowing his head and dividing the meat, "Master, how do you sell this beef bone?" βγ
"Which piece?" The stall owner raised his head and asked with a smile at Lu Xiancheng.
Lu Xiancheng saw the stall owner's face clearly and couldn't help but exclaim: "Brother Lu Yao! βγ
The stall owner looked at Lu Xiancheng with a confused expression, and when he looked left and right, he didn't seem to remember where he saw the young man in front of him, so he asked with a smile: "Little brother, do you know me?" βγ
Lu Xiancheng put away the surprise on his face and said with a smile: "I know you, you may not know me."
Looking at Lu Yao's face, which is still young, he is wearing a gray tunic, which is rarely worn by people now, and his clothes are already stained with oil.
But the honest and honest smile on his face, Lu Xiancheng will never forget it.
