Chapter 7: The Great Harvest
Liu Yi wants to find a place to take care of the chickens, although it is not worth fifty dollars, but it is always his own, raise it for a period of time, even if he can't lay eggs and chickens, but he can also satisfy his cravings, eat a chicken, and improve his life.
However, looking left and right, there was no place to settle down, and after glancing at Wangcai on the side with a curious face, Liu Yi hesitated, beckoned, and said, "Wangcai, come here." ”
"Wang~" Hearing the call, Wangcai swooped to Liu Yi's legs, and kept rubbing his head against Liu Yi's trouser legs.
"Don't make trouble, look at these little guys, don't bully them!" Liu Yi put the little chicken on the ground and glared at Wangcai menacingly.
Zhuge Liang watched from the side, and couldn't help but sigh when he heard the words, and asked the dog to look at the chickens, and it is estimated that they will come out in a while, and the chickens will be gone.
I wanted to remind him, but the next moment, the scene in front of him made Zhuge Liang decisively shut up, but when he saw the dog named Wangcai, he nodded quite spiritually, and then pulled a few times, and drove the five little chicks to the food bowl next to the kennel, where was there a large amount of corn left over from yesterday.
The little chicks are not afraid of life, but they are eating around the food bowl with Wangcai, and the scene is extraordinarily harmonious.
"Mr. Kong Ming, please!" Liu Yi returned to Zhuge Liang's side, stretched out his hand, and said with a smile.
"Brother Liu, this courtyard is really quite wonderful." Zhuge Liang glanced at Wangcai and praised sincerely, but at this moment, he didn't look at Liu Yi as an ordinary craftsman.
"Mr. Kong Ming has an overreputation." Liu Yi shook his head with a smile, welcomed Zhuge Liang into the main hall, looked at the empty main hall, and said with some embarrassment: "Sir, forgive me, this house has just been built, the old furniture has been demolished, and there is no time to buy a new one." ”
"It doesn't matter." As soon as Zhuge Liang entered the main hall, somehow, he had a feeling of returning to his home, the bedroom and guest bedroom belonged to private space, so it was not good to go again, but he just smiled: "Liang came here today, in fact, he also has something to ask for." ”
"What Mr. Kong Ming said, I am just a small craftsman, what do I ask for or not, Mr. Kong Ming has something to order, as long as I can do it, I will not refuse." Liu Yi's eyes lit up, this is a deal, it seems that the attribute of the main gate to attract wealth has played a role, and there are two orders of business on this day, and they are not small.
"Many of the furniture in the Liang House is very old, I wanted to ask someone to go to Xiangyang to invite some craftsmen to help redo it, but after seeing Brother Liu's ability last time, I felt that it was not inferior to the craftsmen of Xiangyang City. Zhuge Liang smiled.
"All...... All? After getting Zhuge Liang's affirmative reply, Liu Yi thought about it, don't look at Zhuge Liang living in a grass house, but it is not just a casual building for ordinary people, not only exquisite workmanship, but also seems to be in line with Qimen mathematics, and the furniture at home is also quite exquisite.
The bed is not an ordinary flat bed, but a dental bed, a screen, a partition, a framed bookshelf, a stool, a bed, a couch similar to a tatami mat for drinking tea and playing chess on weekdays, and a table for dinner and banquet...... If it's all refurbished, it's a big deal.
"Mr. Kong Ming, this is all renovated, and the money required is not a small amount!" Liu Yi rubbed his hands and looked at Zhuge Liang's gaze becoming more and more friendly, if this transaction is completed, this year's livelihood and even next year's livelihood will be settled.
"Brother Liu doesn't have to worry about money, although Liang is not rich and expensive, he also has a small fortune." Zhuge Liang couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
Also, more than half of the fields in Wollongong belong to your Zhuge family, what do I care?
Liu Yi nodded when he heard this: "But I'm too worried, in this case, I don't know when Mr. Kong Ming's side can start construction?" If it is in the way of his cleanliness, you can send me the wood, and when it is ready, I will move it to my husband's house. ”
"Not necessarily." Zhuge Liang shook his head and smiled: "Liang also has some research on this craftsman's technique, so you can ask Brother Liu for advice, if Brother Liu has time, the sooner the better." ”
"Okay, Mr. has said so, so please go back first, and I will go over as soon as possible after I go to prepare some paint and tools." Liu Yi nodded when he heard this.
"Then Liang took his leave." Zhuge Liang smiled and hugged Liu Yi with a fist, then turned to leave.
Looking at Zhuge Liang's back, Liu Yi couldn't help but feel a little emotional, worthy of being a character who can be famous through the ages, although he has not yet experienced Zhuge Liang's wisdom that has been mythologized by later generations, but in dealing with people, Zhuge Liang will never find fault, it is the kind of talk to you that can make you feel like a spring breeze and give birth to a sense of confidant, but maintain a certain sense of distance, and will not let you have the opportunity to kick your nose in the face.
It's easy to say, but to do it, it takes no more skill than the divine wisdom that has been preached.
Zhuge Liang's furniture naturally can't be as simple as making it for Zhao Gong, the last time he was working in Zhuge Liang's house, he had noticed that the furniture of Zhuge Jia's house looked old, but it was extremely elegant, and the bookcases, swings, and food boxes were basically lacquerware.
In terms of the level of lacquerware of this era, not only is the wood material excellent, but it is not easy to deform and cause the paint layer to be destroyed, and the paint itself may not be an unusual thing.
That thing, Liu Yi really doesn't have it here, but with his current craftsmanship, plus the additional attributes of the system, it won't be bad if he uses inferior paint, but whether the wood itself will be deformed or not, this has really not been verified, after all, he came to this era in less than three months, how to verify? Although the attributes added by the system are magical, the thermal expansion and cold contraction of objects is a natural law, and he can only try to avoid it, but whether the attributes will make the wood not deform, he really has no bottom in his heart.
However, the wood is provided by Zhuge Liang, in terms of the pickiness of these wealthy families, wood should not be an ordinary thing, Liu Yi doesn't want to do so much, the most important thing is the process of lacquering, even more troublesome than making the furniture itself, the furniture can only be regarded as a wooden tire, and then the wooden tire has to be polished, and then scraped a layer of gray paint, and then on the formal lacquer, elegant, there must be yellow coating, patterns and even paintings, and finally the lacquer surface has to be polished, the general carpenter at most makes the table table, but wants to color something, Ordinary craftsmen can't do it, so in addition to carpenters, there are also special lacquer craftsmen in ordinary folk workshops, but with Liu Yi's current level of coloring and carving, it is barely enough.
After mixing the required paint, Liu Yi asked Wangcai to watch the door and take care of the chickens, then he carried two buckets of paint, locked the door and walked towards Zhuge 's house.
