Chapter 51: Making the Door Frame

After Chen Zheng slept and got up, Yue Xiaorong had already set off.

With the equipment that Chen Zheng made all night, Chen Zheng was a lot more relieved.

The store was taken care of by Wei Dayong and Meng Chujiu, and there was no shortage of goods, so Chen Zheng was suddenly idle.

It's just that this kind of leisurely time didn't last even an hour, so Li Shuang came to visit.

Li Shuang came for nothing else, for his restaurant used as a barbecue.

This is the first time Li Shuang has done something big, and he is trying his best to be in the best mood, and Chen understands it.

Therefore, under Li Shuang's flattery, Chen Zheng decided to start the renovation work of the restaurant.

In fact, since Li Shuang agreed with him that day, Chen Zheng has already begun to design the decoration of the restaurant.

So far, the decoration plan of the restaurant has been completed, and Chen Zheng showed it to Li Shuang.

After Li Shuang looked at it carefully for a long time, he said that he didn't understand, but everything was done according to Chen Zheng's design.

According to Li Shuang's words, this decoration design and construction is Chen Zheng's investment.

Chen Zheng was too lazy to talk nonsense with Li Shuang, so he asked him to find someone to pull the wood and come to the restaurant.

"Brother Chen, can you finish it today?" Li Shuang asked with a look of hope.

Chen Zheng turned his head, looked at Li Shuang like a fool, and said, "Can you finish memorizing "Wenzhong Gongji" in one day?" ”

Wen Zhonggong was a master of prose in the previous dynasty, and his articles were splendid and gorgeous, and he has always been the object of scholars.

Hearing Chen Zheng ask, Li Shuang was obviously stunned, and blurted out: "Brother Chen, are you kidding?" It's nice that I can memorize one of these articles in a day. ”

Chen Zheng smiled and said, "Brother Li, that's really a coincidence, it's very good that I can decorate this gate in one day." ”

"Is it that hard?" Li Shuang asked, "I think the drawing is very simple." ”

"Then you come!" Chen Zheng said angrily and pushed the drawings to Li Shuang.

Li Shuang hurriedly excused himself and said: "Don't, Brother Chen, there is a specialization in this art industry, I will serve you tea and pour water, and Brother Chen has to come to this job in person." ”

The corners of Chen Zheng's mouth lifted and he smiled: "Then don't talk nonsense, let's get started." ”

Among the timbers pulled over, Chen Zheng chose two wooden frame columns with similar thickness and height, which were processed and used as door frames.

Then, on the pillars, the positions of the upper and middle sills, and the holes were excavated.

When the sill material is processed, the tenon of different lengths should be made at both ends, so that when installing, the long tenon is inserted into the socket first, and then the short tenon is inserted in reverse, and when the cross sill is in place, the gap of the long tenon end is plugged with a wooden wedge.

In this way, the structure of the upper and middle sill of the gate is installed.

Chen Zheng didn't let Li Shuang be idle, and he couldn't help with the processing process, but when it was installed, he was still able to contribute.

Just by installing an upper threshold, Li Shuang was already tired and panting.

"Brother Li, are you okay?" Chen Zheng teased, "With such a little strength, even women won't be able to deal with it in the future." ”

Li Shuang took a few deep breaths, and when he was almost panting, he retorted: "Hey, Brother Chen, don't you come to mock me, don't you know about you?" ”

Chen Zheng was stunned for a moment, put down the wooden hammer, and asked, "What do you know about me?" ”

Li Shuang hehehe, seeing that there was no one left and right, he leaned into Chen Zheng's ear and whispered: "Brother Chen is still a child, right?" Hey. ”

Hearing this, Chen Zheng's face turned red and he said stiffly: "Nonsense, I'm married." ”

Li Shuang snorted lightly and said, "This is a secret technique of observing people, and I have been instructed by a master, so I will never be mistaken." If Brother Chen has any hidden diseases, don't be discouraged, I know a Lang Zhong who specializes in this area of conditioning, and I will take Brother Chen to meet him when I have time. ”

"you!" Chen Zheng shouted lightly, "Hurry up and get to work, so much nonsense!" ”

Chen Zheng no longer paid attention to Li Shuang, and turned around to make the next threshold

After measuring the distance between the two columns, Chen Zheng calculated the length of the lower sill, and at the outer arc of the column diameter, he gave way to the shoulders of the lower sill.

And in the middle and downward position of the two ends of the lower sill, chisel out the slip pin mouth, and do a good job of slipping pin tenon.

Then the work of nailing into the tenon of the slip pin, Chen Zheng naturally handed it over to Li Shuang, this free labor, no need for nothing!

The door sleeper stone used for the gate was prepared by Chen Zheng and asked Li Shuang to prepare in advance, after all, he is not a stonemason, and he is not professional in slotting in the stone.

What Chen Zheng is doing, he only needs to put the processed wood in place.

In this way, the upper, middle, and lower thresholds of the entire door come out.

Horizontal for the threshold, vertical for the frame, the next thing is to make the door frame.

"Brother Li, come and help." Chen Zheng shouted.

Li Shuang obediently obeyed, came to the side of the pillar, held the frame wood well, and asked, "What is this doing?" ”

"It's called a hug box." Chen Zheng explained, "I'm going to use the method of planting and selling wood to connect it with the pillar, and you can help it up." ”

Ding-dong, Chen Zheng was very busy, and Li Shuang was not idle.

The two have a clear division of labor, Chen Zheng is the main one, Li Shuang is the auxiliary, and the decoration of the gate is improved little by little.

After installing the frame and installing the door frame, Chen Zheng carved the pattern of plum blossoms reflecting the sun on the door frame, which looked much more elegant.

After the overall structure is completed, the next step is the decoration of small places, such as the horse board, the door, the Tonglian Ying and several other places.

Although these places are small, they are also places to witness real kung fu.

For example, this horse board seems to be an ordinary wooden board installed between the upper sill and the middle sill, but if the size is not accurate, if the joint is not tight, then after a long time, the upper and lower sill will be extruded and deformed.

If you run into an unlucky bastard, maybe when you walk under the door, there will be a click, and the middle sill will break, and it will be a small thing to start, but it will be a big thing to hit your head.

Although Li Shuang was tired, he felt very relieved when he saw this good face.

"Brother Chen, I feel that the two of us together can really achieve great things!" Li Shuang suddenly sighed.

Chen Zheng smiled and responded: "Opening a restaurant is a big deal?" This is just the beginning, the ancients are good: there is no beginning, and there is an end. It's a success if you can stick to it. ”

"Listening to Brother Chen's words is better than reading a book." Li Shuang said, "Let's start from this restaurant and make a career!" ”

Chen Zheng looked at Li Shuang, whose face had been smeared into flowers, and said in his heart: I don't have the heart to do big things, guarding the lady, opening a shop, eating and drinking, leisurely and happy, isn't this fragrant?

"Go wash your face first, you're about to become a civet cat." Chen Zheng said with a smile.

Li Shuang wiped his face with his sleeve, and sure enough, it was all dust, and when he looked at Chen Zheng again, he couldn't help laughing: "You still say me, aren't you also a little civet cat?" ”

Chen Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that if he climbed up and down, it would definitely not be much better, it seems that no one should laugh at anyone!

"Brother Li, let Meng Chujiu barbecue tonight, treat you and me well." Chen Zheng said with a smile.

Li Shuang laughed and said, "It's exactly what I want, I've been hungry for a long time!" ”
