Chapter 81: Strange Orders
The Niu family in the north of the city is a family of carpenters who have been handed down for a long time, and most of the best furniture in Guangliang County comes from this family, and the skilled craftsmen introduced to Chen Fang by the stall owner's aunt are this family.

The Niu family has a great reputation, and there is almost no need to ask, and Chen Fang and the others have already found this famous carpenter family without much inquiry.
At first, Chen Fang was skeptical of the words of the snobbish stall owner, but when he walked into the Niu family's woodworking workshop, he found that the Niu family's skills were really not touted.
When they entered, Master Niu was carving patterns for a chair with a backrest, a hammer and a chisel like fingers extending to the arm were extraordinarily flexible, and after a while, a bunch of staggered branches appeared on the simple chair, and on the branches stood a few birds that were whispering, and the vivid picture was breathtaking.
"Those who are good at painting flowers can attract butterflies, those who are good at carving can attract phoenixes, and Master Niu is good at craftsmanship." Chen Fang said with sincere admiration.
In the face of Chen Fang's admiration, Master Niu smiled, showed a shy and proud smile, picked up the hookah put aside, and smoked it cooing.
Hookah is a common smoking set in the south, mostly made of old bamboo, smoking not only not easy to choke, but also greatly reduces the toxic substances contained in the tobacco, compared with the dry smoking gun, pipe is much better, just because it is inconvenient to carry, and there is no such delicacy as the smoking gun and pipe, so it is not accepted by the upper class, but for the people living at the bottom, especially the laborers, the hookah can be said to be the second wife, and it is the one who is reluctant to abandon.
Spit out a long puff of smoke, Master Niu beckoned the two to sit down and asked, "What do you want to order?" ”
Master Niu has the attitude of an honest craftsman, and there is no treachery of ordinary businessmen at all, which can't help but make Chen Fang feel a sense of intimacy.
"Yes, Master Niu, please take a look."
The Niu family has been working for carpentry for generations for a living, Master Niu has been working in the Niu family workshop since he was a child, and the carpentry has been rolling for decades, and has been very familiar with and understood the structure of various woodware.
The curiosity started, and I was stunned for a while.
"Master Niu, I don't know how long it will take to build these buckets?" Chen Fang saw that Master Niu didn't make a sound for a long time, and thought that Master Niu felt that these buckets were not easy to build, so he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"Hehe, it won't take long, it's a day, but ......" Master Niu stopped wanting to stop again, Chen Fang, who was used to seeing this expression in later generations, thought that Master Niu was talking about the price, and hurriedly said: "Master Niu, please rest assured, the money will not be less." ”
Before visiting Niu's house, the owner of the jewelry stall had quietly revealed the rumors, saying that the Niu family was highly skilled, and the starting price was more than ten taels of silver, so Chen Fang had already been mentally prepared to spend a lot of money early on.
It's just that to his surprise, Master Niu is not talking about money, but ......
"No, no. Childe misunderstood, our Niu family artificial wood is a penny, absolutely Tong Su is not bullied, I want to say that although the design of these steaming barrels is exquisite, but there are still some deficiencies. Master Niu saw that Chen Fang had a misunderstanding, and hurriedly explained.
Something is not enough? Is this copied from the craftsmanship of later generations? Isn't the craftsmanship of later generations better than it is today? Chen Fang glanced at the drawings in surprise and confirmed that he had not drawn anything wrong, and couldn't help but be even more curious.
However, he also knows the truth that interlacing is like separating mountains, maybe Master Niu can really bring surprises, and he refutes Master Niu with no experience in later lives, but humbly asks Master Niu for advice.
Sure enough, Master Niu, who had been immersed in the carpentry industry for many years, did not disappoint Chen Fang, and in a blink of an eye, he pointed out several shortcomings that Chen Da admired. For a while, he was also aroused by the idea of transformation, and a layman and an insider chatted with great interest.
Just as Chen Fang and Master Niu were talking and communicating, on the other hand, Lei Dazhuang, Wang Tianlong, and two newly recruited Xiao Zhukuai, who did not appear in the yamen in the morning, appeared in the rice field of Mrs. Meng in Shili Township.
The wind blows the wheat waves, and there is a golden yellow everywhere in the eye, originally all this will make people feel the joy of a bumper harvest, but when Lei Dazhuang and others learned that Mrs. Meng had planted more than three acres of rice alone, everyone was left with thousands of resentments towards Tang Yun in their hearts.
"Brother Lei, what kind of orders did you say the adults ordered, do we really want to help her harvest the rice?" The two newly recruited Xiao Yu quickly glanced at the old Longzhong and the slow-moving Mrs. Meng, and they were ten thousand unwilling in their hearts.
"I call your father, how do I know?" Lei Daban was also irritable in his heart, he would never ignore Tang Yun's order on weekdays, but when he got up this morning, his uncle Lei Hubao taught him an unprecedented lesson, and also told him in a tough tone that he must complete the task handed over by Lord Tang today.
But what's going on? Looking at the boundless golden cancan, Lei Dazhuang suddenly felt that his mouth was dry, and he couldn't grasp the idea for a while, and suddenly saw a few newcomers standing on the side, so he kicked the ball to them, "Everyone, what do you think, should we help her cut the rice?" ”
Lei Dazhuang's eyes were a little eager, looking forward to hearing a "no" word from the mouths of several other people, as long as they said a "no" word, he would not do it, and if the uncle held him accountable, he would put the responsibility on them, but he ignored one thing, these three or two fast catchers are not those old fritters in the yamen, where do they dare to cheat and play tricks when they first joined?
"Brother Lei, I think since the adults have this order, there must be a reason for her." After that, a few newcomers quickly put down their sabers, picked up the sickle that was placed aside, walked to Mrs. Meng's side, learned Mrs. Meng's movements, and harvested the rice one by one.
I...... Stunned, stunned, and in a daze, looking at the appearance of a group of four people bending over to harvest in the farmland, Lei Dazhuang felt angry, I said your father, don't think you can, Lao Tzu can too.
gritted his teeth and threw away the thought of escaping, and Lei Dazhuang also followed him to the field.
Facing the loess with their backs to the sky is an extremely hard thing, no one of the four catchers has ever harvested rice, and after a while, they have already felt a sore back, but when they raised their bodies and were lazy, they found that Mrs. Meng alone had better grades than the four of them, they were very guilty, and quickly clenched the sickle in their hands and began to work.
Two quarters of an hour later!
"I said, huh, I, I said your father, why are you so tired of cutting two grasses." Lei Dazhuang couldn't stand it and complained. "Hey, Mrs. Meng, why don't you have any men, why do you have to plant so many fields alone, can you finish eating?"
Lei Dazhuang himself just wanted to complain, and there was no malice, but the rhetoric made everyone have the urge to beat him up, but fortunately, Mrs. Meng's self-cultivation was much better than others, and she still bent over to harvest rice, but she talked about her husband and son.
Originally, her husband and a pair of sons were rebels who followed the Tang Dynasty's uprising, but unfortunately they were both killed on the battlefield in the early years.
Typical heroic deeds became bland and tasteless in Mrs. Meng's mouth, and a few public servants sighed, once upon a time they also fantasized about becoming heroes and being admired by thousands of people, but they never thought about what the life of a hero would be like.
At the end, Mrs. Meng also said something that made a few catchers scratch their heads: "Heroes, just like these grains, everyone likes them, but no one can remember the appearance of one of them." ”
Listening to Mrs. Meng's words, Lei Dazhuang was thoughtful, well, he was thinking, huh? Is there something wrong with Mrs. Meng's head, why do you want to remember the appearance of every grain of grain?
