Chapter 6 The Three Elders Who Pick the Door
"Is the Liu family here?" Early the next morning, I heard Wangcai shouting in the courtyard, followed by Zhao Gong's voice outside.
"Three Elders?" Liu Yi got up from the straw mat, only to feel refreshed, although there was no bed, but last night I slept quite comfortably, especially after waking up, my whole body was full of energy that seemed to be inexhaustible, so that Liu Yi had an urge to look up to the sky and howl, after waving away Wangcai, Liu Yi pulled the door bolt, looked at Zhao Gong outside the door and said: "Why did you come so early?" ”
The third elder is an official name, similar to the position of the township chief, and is considered the nominally most powerful person in Wollongong, Liu Yi does not have Zhuge Liang's family background, although he is dissatisfied with the other party's disturbing dreams early in the morning, but he still has to greet him with a smile.
"Somehow last night, the bed suddenly collapsed." Zhao Gong said with a gloomy face: "How much five baht do you need to make a bed here?" ”
"This ......" Liu Yi was overjoyed, this can be regarded as a big deal, and he hesitated for a moment and said, "What do you think of the three hundred dollars?" ”
This price is actually a bit of a loss, Zhuge Liang has to pay three hundred for a bookcase, not to mention that with his current craftsmanship, this price is a jump price, but there is no way, in this poor and remote place, in the face of these villagers, he can only sell it cheaply, and he has made up his mind in his heart, and when he makes enough money, not to mention going to Xuchang or something, he has to go to the nearby county town first, and stay in Wollongong, which is equivalent to a pearl secret investment, no matter how good the carpentry is, there is no one who knows the goods.
"Expensive, isn't it?" Zhao Gong hesitated for a moment and looked at Liu Yi.
"Expensive ......" Liu Yi felt that the breath in his chest was about to be out of breath: "Third elder, you are the most respected person in Wollongong, you can say in your conscience, a bed, not to polish and polish the wood, not to mention carving and coloring, three hundred yuan is really not expensive, Mr. Kong Ming does a book case, all have to pay three hundred dollars!" ”
"Didn't I prepare the wood for you? You just put in a little effort, and the paint, how much is it worth? Although Zhao Gong is the No. 2 landlord in Wollongong, his personality is not good, and he just shook his head and said: "You don't need to carve those vain things for me, just make me a piece according to the original bed, the money will not be less than you, a hundred yuan, the original bed only cost eighty yuan." ”
The corners of Liu Yi's mouth twitched, with Zhao Gong's character, the original bed probably had to be used for twenty or thirty years, and the current money can be compared with that time? At that time, a stone of corn could not cost a hundred yuan, and now you are given a hundred yuan, and it would be good to be able to buy one-third...... Is this shameless old man relying on himself to be a township chief and want to bully himself?
"Third elder, you can't say that, why don't you go to the county and ask, don't say a hundred, just the three hundred yuan I said, you provide wood, and see if anyone can help you do it?" Liu Yi was a little bluffed.
"You are a young man, how can you have some ability, how can you compare with the craftsmen in Renxian County? In this way, I add another fifty dollars, and I can't do more! "Zhao Gong is a little lacking in confidence, although he is the third elder, but because he is too picky on weekdays, the majesty in Wollongong is not high, and he also knows that he has a problem, but he can't change it.
Liu Yi said that he finally raised the price to two hundred yuan, but Zhao Gong said that he was unwilling to add anything, Liu Yi had no choice but to agree, after all, the family was about to be unable to open the pot, and it would not work if he did not compromise at this time.
The money is not in place, and Liu Yi has no motivation to do it, just like Zhao Gong said, according to the original bed, it only took an hour to do it, it looks decent, but he is stunned that there is no attribute, since Liu Yi's carpentry skills have reached level four, it is the first time to make something without attributes, of course, the experience given will naturally not be too much.
Liu Yi didn't care, he got what he paid for, looking at Zhao Gong with a picky and reluctant look, but he was a little disdainful in his heart, if he was really willing to give himself three hundred yuan to do, when he was secretly happy in the future, he could only blame him for not knowing the goods.
Received one hundred and fifty yuan from Zhao Gong, and the last fifty yuan, the old shameless man licked his face and took five chickens to pay for himself.
"Third elder, how can these five chickens not use fifty dollars, right?" Liu Yi frowned and looked at Zhao Gongdao.
"Now it's only five chickens, but you raised them, chickens lay eggs, eggs regenerate chickens, that's right? Count it out, or you earn it! Zhao Gong said with a stiff neck.
Liu Yi was stunned by the other party's remarks, in order to pick two money, does this count as making history?
"Okay!" Looking at the other party's expression of "you have earned", Liu Yi was convinced, picked up the five chirping chickens and said, "What you always say is reasonable, I'll leave first if there's nothing to do!" ”
He was really afraid that he couldn't help but beat this old guy to death with an old fist, he had seen such a pick, but he had never seen such a pick.
"Don't worry, if there are good things in the future, you will definitely be indispensable!" Zhao Gong said with a smile.
Shh~
Liu Yi swore that he would never make any more transactions with this old shameless man in his life.
Holding the five chickens, Liu Yi walked back a little unhappily, and heard Wangcai's angry shouts from a long distance.
Another guest on the door?
Liu Yi's eyes lit up, this one hundred and fifty yuan won't take long, if he can take two more orders, he may consider going to the city to get some meat, fruits and vegetables or something to improve his life.
At that moment, he quickened his pace and entered the courtyard, but he saw Zhuge Liang standing in the pavilion, looking at his house.
"Mr. Kong Ming, why do you have time to come to my burrow?" Liu Yi said with a smile.
"If Craftsman Liu can only be regarded as a burrow here, then the grass house under it is not even as good as a burrow." Zhuge Liang stood in the pavilion and was reluctant to go out, I don't know why, as soon as he entered the pavilion, he felt an indescribable comfort, as if the whole person had been washed.
"Mr. Kong Ming is serious, the mountain is not high, there are immortals, as long as you are in your house, it is a blessed land of immortals." Liu Yi smiled modestly, but he still couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, even Zhuge Liang, who is famous in history, famous in ancient and modern times, Chinese and foreign people, is full of praise for his craftsmanship, it seems that his methods are still worthy of affirmation.
"The mountain is not high, but there are immortals?" When Zhuge Liang heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up: "I don't want Craftsman Liu to have such literary talent." ”
Belch...... Isn't the Burrow still out yet?
Liu Yi was a little dumbfounded holding the chicken, and then changed the topic and said, "Mr. hasn't said anything yet." ”
"Don't worry, Liang wants to take a look at Brother Liu's house, I don't know if it's okay?" Zhuge Liang came over, firstly, he wanted to ask Liu Yi to make a few more pieces of furniture, and secondly, he also wanted to see if Liu Yi's new home had the same magical ability as the bookcase, and now it seems that he was really guessed correctly, and his curiosity about Liu Yi couldn't help but become a little stronger, especially Liu Yi's previous export chapter, which made Zhuge Liang have more sense of identity with Liu Yi.
"Naturally, it's just that we haven't had time to buy furniture yet." Liu Yi nodded, looked at the chicken in his hand and said, "Mr. Kong Ming, wait a minute." ”
"It's okay, it's a bright chatter."
