Standing under the shade of the tree with his head down, Chen Mu was extremely uneasy in his heart.

This set of desks and chairs in the mouth of the king is certainly not complicated for a veteran, and it can even be said to be something that can be done casually. However, from Fang Mansion to Xu Wangfu, this is the first job given to him by Li Yuanjia, of course Chen Mu does not dare to slack off, even if he kills chickens with a knife, he also exerts all his strength.

The size is exactly the same, and you won't see a single burr in the whole set of tables and chairs!

"The only pity is that I don't have time to carve some patterns!"

Seeing that after the king circled around the table and chairs a few times, he seemed to be about to try to sit down, Chen Mu was nervous, but he couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Although his knife work is not as good as his master who stayed in Chang'an, the accumulation of more than ten years is not a joke, if he can take a few more days......

"Well, it seems pretty good!"

Sitting on the chair, Li Yuanjia twisted left and right, and seemed to be a little uncomfortable.

In order to save time, he didn't ask Chen Mu to make the so-called Taishi chair, but the simplest back chair, which felt small. And when Li Yuanjia leaned down on the table in front of him again, his brows suddenly wrinkled: "Huh? It seems to be a little taller, so it should not be comfortable if you write...... Chen Mu, cut my four legs shorter! ”

"Yes, my lord! The small ones are changed immediately, and they are changed immediately! ”

After hearing this, Chen Mu hurriedly bent down in panic.

"Uh......"

Looking at Chen Mucheng in fear, as if he had just committed some major crime, Li Yuanjia looked at the sky helplessly. If it's those people in your own house, even if you make some mistakes, it won't be like this, right? However, thinking that this guy was sent by the future father-in-law's family, and this was the first time he had made something for himself, Li Yuanjia was quickly relieved.

Well, he doesn't understand me yet!

Waving his hand, Li Yuanjia made his expression as soft as possible, and said softly: "Get up, I don't blame you for this, I drew it a little higher when I first drew the picture." ”

Tables and chairs designed from memory are not suitable.

And in addition to the slightly higher table, the chair is also a little smaller for Li Yuanjia, which can be said to be not perfect. But let's use it for the time being, and just go back and let Chen Mu and the few carpenters who just arrived in the house do it again - isn't this thing just a little bit of improvement and a little bit of comfort in continuous attempts?

So after seeing that Chen Mu's tension eased a little, Li Yuanjia then smiled and said, "Go back and try a few more times with the other two carpenters in the house, and make the chair a little bigger...... A little is enough! The other two sides can be made into armrests, and I can make a few drawers under the table...... Well, I'll give you a few more pictures when I get back, and you can just do it. When I'm satisfied, I'll build more! ”

At this time, Han Shan, who had been waiting beside him, stepped forward and was amazed by the table and chairs made by Chen Mu: "King, this thing is somewhat similar to the Hu bed, but it can make your legs hang down naturally, and there is no longer any pain in sitting bent...... But the king, although this thing is good, but it's not very convenient to use everywhere, right? ”

In a very tactful way, Han Shan reminded his master.

Looking at the housekeeper's faintly worried look, Li Yuanjia also knew in his heart - in this era, the emergence of anything new is not such a simple thing.

For example, can this table and chair really be very popular as soon as it appears?

Naive!

Think about the Japanese in the previous life, the way of kneeling and sitting was learned from China, and see how long they persevered? In particular, how many foreign flag bearers have been miserable by the kneeling competitions held in Japan?

Do they really think it's more comfortable to sit on their knees than to sit on a chair?

Of course it can't be, but even if they know it, the power of tradition is so strong, especially some old people who have the right to speak, and their habits and cognition are the root of everything. So it was only in the second decade of the 21st century that the Japanese Chess Academy changed all the draw-style game rooms to Western-style – and the trend of chair games was irresistible.

This principle is actually no different in China.

So even if it was the Tang Dynasty, one of the most open eras in Chinese history, Li Yuanjia still didn't dare to make a mistake when he was in Chang'an, for fear that someone would give him a copy of it - don't doubt it, in this dynasty, a powerful minister was even sued for eating etiquette, and finally made a fuss, I don't know how many people went to the book to join him......

In the face of Han Shan's melancholy, Li Yuanjia also waved his hand and smiled: "Okay, this thing is only used in the inner courtyard for the time being, and other places will not be let go first." But Lao Han, when everyone gets used to sitting on this chair, I'm afraid no one will want to kneel anymore. ”

"Hehe, what the king said is very true."

Although Han Shan didn't believe it very much in his heart, his head clicked faster than anyone else.

Of course, Li Yuanjia didn't care about Han Shan's thoughts, and patted the table with satisfaction, and then said with a smile: "Let Chen Mu cut off the table legs by three points, and then move them to the study...... By the way, is the iron pot I want ready? ”

"Back to the king's words, not yet."

Licking his lips, Han Shan shook his head and said, "There is a prototype, but it is too thick and very uneven...... But I've already told the blacksmiths in our house to help, they should be trying to figure it out right now. ”

"Well, then wait a few more days."

Having expected this for a long time, Li Yuanjia nodded clearly, not in a hurry at all.

It's been three years, and I don't care about these days.

And Li Yuanjia is now thinking about how to improve his "hard" living conditions, and the ideas in his mind have been prepared for a long time, which can ensure that these craftsmen in his house will finish one and the next, at least for half a year without rest.

But the most important one can't be delayed.

Thinking of this, Li Yuanjia simply stood up from his chair and continued to ask at Han Shan: "How about I ask you to find a place to build a paper workshop?" Now that the craftsmen have also arrived in Luzhou, go back and let them go and see first, and start building if it is appropriate! ”

"This ......"

After hesitating for a moment, Han Shan asked cautiously, "Wang, do you really want to make your own paper?" In fact, if you just use it alone, it is really better to buy a ready-made one yourself, and the cost will be much less......"

In Han Shan's view, Li Yuanjia wants to make his own paper, but he is fooling around.

If it's just to build a set of tables and chairs, or make an iron pot or something, it's just that, but it costs a lot to build a papermaking workshop, and it costs a lot of money to keep those craftsmen every year, so I really don't know what the picture is.

"Alright, no need to say more!"

Although he knew that Han Shan was also kind, Li Yuanjia waved his hand without hesitation and said calmly: "I have my own usefulness in that papermaking workshop, you just have to do it!" ”
