Chapter 8: Another Sum of Money
I'm thinking about how much gold I can get this time when I come back.
The big man named Li Lian came back to me with red wine.
"Hmmm! It's not bad, at least I know how to get it back, it's much better than the one surnamed Cui yesterday! ”
Li Lian handed me the red wine, then clenched his fists and said, "How much does not only the defeated brother want?" ”
Why is it still called a defeated brother. My name is Li Hei, it's Brother Li! Forget it, I'm generally very polite to fat sheep.
"Huh! As long as 398 taels of gold, Tong Su is not deceived. ”
"398 taels is too expensive, not only can the defeated brother be cheaper, but I want it very much!"
Well? It turns out that this product won't do bargaining! It's a shame to say that you want to say it very much. Forget it, I'll be generous!
"How about the 300 taels of gold, this is already the lowest price, if it is lower, the little brother will lose a lot!"
"Okay, brother, then 300 taels of gold."
Hehe, this product is really easy to talk to, I lowered it casually, and he agreed!
"Okay! Then slot! I nodded.
At this time, the big man hurriedly ran back to the carriage again, and this time he didn't bother to hide it, so he ran straight over. Then, Dahan took the plate of gold ingots and returned to me. Stretched out his hand and handed me the tray and said, "This is 300 taels of gold, please count it." ”
Well, I like to use a tray to hold gold ingots! Is this a custom?
I took the tray and handed it to the big man, who ran back to the carriage with him in his arms, and then drove the cart away.
"I'll go! It's really a runaway after the transaction! But this thing is in a hurry, it can't be a driver! ”
Forget it, whatever, anyway, now that he has money again, he was thinking about how to make more money just now, but he didn't expect the business to come to the door so soon! Hey. There is no shortage of money for this renovation!
I went back to the store, and the butler was standing and chatting with Yazi, and I handed the tray to the butler. Seeing this, Yazi hurriedly said to me: "Is the matter between the owner and the uncle just now finished?" ”
I nodded: "Yes! That's it. It's just a deal. ”
"That's good, then ask the owner to ask for decoration! I'll record it now. ”
Well? Didn't you say find someone to record it? As soon as I was about to ask, I saw a boy about ten years old walk out behind Yazi, holding a small calligraphy brush in one hand and a wooden board in the other, making a look of wanting to record.
When I saw that the recorder called by Yazi turned out to be a ten-year-old child, I was speechless. Does this count as child labor?
"Huh! Okay, then I'll get started. ”
"Okay, host!" Yazi replied.
"Hmmm! Get rid of all this garbage first! I stepped on the brick floor of the hall and asked, "What kind of material do you usually use to lay floors?" ”
At this time, the little boy replied: "Back to the east, it is popular in Chang'an to use good stone or wooden planks to pave the floor, and there are also people who want to use bricks to pave the floor like this. ”
Hearing this boy speak, I knew why Yazi had brought him here, it turned out that he was knowledgeable and literate.
"And how much does it cost to pave the floor with mahogany?" I asked.
The boy hesitated for a moment and said, "About ten dollars!" ”
I've done the math, it's probably the price of a horse! It's acceptable. I then asked, "How much would it cost to replace all the doors and windows with mahogany, to put mahogany floors upstairs and downstairs, to replace the stairs with mahogany, and finally to decorate them with mahogany, inside and out?" ”
The little boy was stopped by my question, crouched on the ground and began to count.
At this time, Yazi relieved the siege and said: "The owner, if you want to decorate it as you said, it will soon catch up with the price of rebuilding a mahogany building, if it is rebuilt with mahogany, it will take about 500 yuan." All you need for this renovation will be less than 500 pieces. ”
Oh, 500 guan is about 50 taels of gold! Well, enough.
I immediately made a rich appearance and said, "Then it's all mahogany!" We're not short of money! ”
"Howler! Listen to you. Yazi agreed with a smile, and then picked up the little boy who was bowing his head and settling the account and said, "Don't forget it, first write it down according to the owner's intentions!" ”
I walked upstairs, then pointed to the empty hall on the second floor and said, "Divide the second floor for me and divide it into private rooms." ”
Then I went downstairs again, went to the back kitchen, and said, "Clean up this place for me, and don't have a stove, and then replace the floor and walls with fireproof slate." ”
I've long been unpleasant to look at this kitchen, and with just a big stove, where can I make the food I want!
Back in the hall, Yazi said that everything was remembered, and it would take about 1 month to decorate according to what I said. Although it is indeed a bit slow, but I now have 300 taels of gold, there is no shortage of money for the time being, and I don't care about everything, I will decorate here first, and when I turn around, I will use this as my first industry in Datang to test the water first. Even if you lose it, you don't care. The right to experience. After giving Yazi 50 taels of gold as a deposit, I politely declined the furniture and men that Yazi had sold me. Then he told Yazi that after the decoration was completed, he was looking for someone to hire someone.
Actually, I don't want to find many guys, the restaurants of the future generations, they are all small cuties! If you come to a few running guys, you always feel that it is not as comfortable as using all the little beauties.
Once it's all arranged, I'm out of business. When we returned home outside the city, I started thinking about furniture and stoves.
When I came to the outer house, I called the butler and said, "Uncle butler, I don't know where to find a carpenter and a blacksmith?" ”
"Carpenter blacksmith? Young master, there are craftsmen in our Zhuangzi! Although the craftsmanship is average, it is all from our Zhuangzi. You can go directly to them if you have something. ”
Forehead! A craftsman at home? Oh! Come to think of it, craftsmen and merchants seem to be inferior people in ancient times! By the way, now I belong to the peasant class! That's a good citizen! No, I asked.
"Huh! Uncle housekeeper, can't our family open a restaurant in business? ”
The housekeeper smiled and said, "Young master, you definitely can't do business, but you can ask a shopkeeper to open a restaurant!" ”
"Oh! Oh, then I'm not a businessman! ”
"Yes, young master! Like those dignitaries, they all do this. ”
"Okay, I know, then let's talk about the craftsman, since our family is again, then trouble the housekeeper uncle to find them all! I have something to arrange. ”
"Okay young master, you wait!"
After saying that, the housekeeper left. It didn't take long for the housekeeper to lead a few people in, and the housekeeper introduced: "Young master, this is the blacksmith and carpenter in our village, if you have any orders, just say it directly!" ”
Those people also bent down to salute me, saying "Hello young master!"
I looked around, and it looked like they were all malnourished, all black and thin.
"Who's the carpenter?"
One of them, a thin old black man with gray beard and hair, said, "The villain is! Then he pointed to the two young men behind him and said, "This is my son and my apprentice!" I wonder what the young master is looking for us? ”
"Young master, I just want to make furniture, I don't know what your craftsmanship is like."
The old man replied, "Young Master! You can rest assured that all the furniture in the village is made by villains! You can rest assured that this craft is. ”
"Then if I give you some drawings, can you also make them?"
"This! If the drawings weren't too complicated, they should be fine! ”
"It's not complicated, it's not complicated, it's just furniture! Then you go back first! I'm looking for you tomorrow, and I'll give you the drawings, and you can try it, by the way, the mahogany, do you have it there? I'm going to make furniture out of mahogany. ”
"Back to the young master! There is no mahogany in our Zhuangzi! If you want to go to Chang'an City to buy it, we only have ordinary wood in our Zhuangzi now. ”
"Oh, forget it, try it tomorrow, and then go buy wood when it's ready, and I'm in no hurry to use it anyway." Then go back first! ”
After saying that, I looked at the rest of the people and continued, "Then you are blacksmiths?" ”
One of the bare-headed old men said: "Young Master, the villain is the blacksmith, and these two are the sons and apprentices of the villain. ”
I looked at the two big bald heads in the back. I muttered in my heart, "Eh! Blacksmiths don't need to shave their heads to do it! ”
I then said to the blacksmith, "Can you make some of the tools and stoves I need from the drawings?" ”
The bald old man said, "Young master, that's a try, but the villain has only built iron pots and farm tools!" The rest can only be tried to the best of your ability. ”
"Hmmm! Good. Then you should go back first! I'll look for you tomorrow when I have the drawings ready! ”
After everyone is gone. I went back to my bedroom and went straight to the mall. Actually, since the restaurant came out, I had an idea. I'm going to go to the furniture city and take pictures of various furniture with a digital camera, and then print them out with a printer, so I think I can create furniture! After all, the furniture is simple.
After all I came to the mall, I ran straight to the digital counter, and after finding the digital camera, I came to the furniture area.
"Hmmm! This antique Eight Immortals table is good! Take a picture of it. This round dining table is also very good, so it is placed in the box with the Taishi chair. Well, it's good, take a picture. Nice screen! Shine it down, Duobao Pavilion? Not bad either. I'll take it. The recliner is also good, the rocking chair is also good, take a picture, I take a picture. "I ended up taking a look at all the furniture. But the stove does that. I searched the entire mall, but I couldn't find a single coal-burning stove or honeycomb coal stove. In the end, I had no choice but to draw a simple sketch according to the way I remembered. "Forget it, let's discuss this stove with the blacksmith! By the way, the most important thing about the stove seems to be the hearth! "I suddenly remembered the hearth in the stove I saw when I was a child, and it seemed to be made of slag! But where to find the slag now! As a result, I went to the decoration materials area and found a material called refractory cement. "Huh! Give it a try with this! ”
After printing the photos, I took the various models of fried scoops and went back to the bedroom.
At this time, it is also dark, and it is really time-consuming to print photos or something!
Definitely not because I don't know how to use a large photocopier. Well, absolutely not.
