Chapter Ninety-Nine: Furniture
In the end, Wen Jiazhen was picked up by Wen Nuan and Wen Jiarui.
And it was only under the strong persuasion of Jiang and He Lianhong that she agreed.
When Nuan Wen left, he took away the grain that Wen Jiarui had just brought in, as well as other food.
This is prepared by the mother and grandmother for the sister-in-law.
Wen Jiarui was stunned when he saw the gift that Nuan took away, what is Sister Nuan doing? What a faux pas!
Wen Jiarui's hand was tightened and shook slightly, so Wen Jiarui didn't say anything.
Sister Nuan naturally has a reason for doing this.
Is there something wrong with what is brought? He thought to himself.
Both He and Jiang narrowed their pupils.
Didn't these good things bring them? They came empty-handed?
Warmth had been secretly watching their reactions, and her heart was cold.
I originally wanted to test it.
Now, hehe, she's more at ease with these things!
Her family's stuff doesn't feed white-eyed wolves.
On the way out, Wen Wen didn't rush to talk, and waited for the sister-in-law to slowly relax at home.
If that family is really good, then it's okay to say, but she thinks it's hanging!
If it's not good, then the He family doesn't have to go back!
――
Because Wen Wen had to go to the county to customize furniture, Wen Jiarui drove an ox cart directly to the county and did not go home immediately.
The road from Hejia Village to the county is so bumpy that the warmth almost shakes out the bile!
The traffic of antiquity really does not dare to compliment!
Fortunately, the road in Wenjia Village is relatively good, and the villagers in that area will find some small gravel to fill in as long as there are potholes on the road after the rain.
There is no gravel, and the villagers will also smash large rocks to build roads, so the roads in that area are much better than the roads in this town!
After more than two hours, I finally arrived in the county.
Warmth wants to buy a horse more and more!
The turtle speed of this ox cart!
Having enjoyed modern cars, airplanes, high-speed trains and other efficient and high-speed transportation, she really felt that it was too much of a waste of time.
This time and forth, most of the day is wasted on the road.
Wen Jiarui went to a timber shop in the county with warmth, and the owner of this timber shop had good craftsmanship.
He used to help this lumber shop transport timber at the dock, and he knew that the owner of this shop had little talk and a cold temperament, but his carpentry had nothing to say, and it was very exquisite!
He can make so many bamboo stools, bamboo furniture, all of which he has seen and learned here.
The two walked in, but Wen Jiamei didn't enter, saying that she would help watch the ox cart outside.
Wen Jiarui said hello: "Boss Zhou." ”
The lumber shop is large and divided into two ends, one end is where some ready-made furniture is placed, and the other end is where the wood boss makes the furniture.
The ground was littered with sawdust, wood chips, and wood stakes.
The owner of the timber shop was a middle-aged man in his forties, dark-skinned and tall and thin, but the muscles on the half-amputated arm he held up showed that he was powerful.
The owner of the timber shop was carving a piece of wood in his hand at the moment, and when he heard the voice, he raised his head and saw that it was Wen Jiarui, so he said, "I don't have any work here for the time being." ”
"No, I'm here to buy furniture."
"Oh, there's a model over there, just look at it. There are prices on them, fancy me and tell me, I'll give you a cheaper, no bargaining. With that, he continued to bow his head and continue carving.
He carved a piece of wood in his hand, and his movements were so fast that the sawdust fell like snowflakes.
Warmth: There is no one else in this craft!
Wen Jiarui walked over with warmth.
There are all kinds of furniture at the end of the shop, including a piece of furniture in the living room, a thousand work beds, bogu shelves, desks, makeup tables, dining tables, cages, jewelry boxes,...... From large pieces of furniture to small pieces of woodwork.....
She glanced at the furniture of this era, the furniture was very antique, and the workmanship was also exquisite, but Wen Wen felt that the carved patterns were too complicated, and it was troublesome to hygiene.
The most important thing is that it is a bit out of line with the style of the house she designed, and the size is not right.
"Boss, can you order it here?"
"Yes." The boss didn't raise his head. Be concise and to the point, without superfluous words.
Nuan Wen walked over and gave him the drawings, he carefully put down the wood and carving knife in his hand, took it and looked at it one by one, his eyes became brighter and brighter, he suppressed the excitement in his heart and said: "So much furniture will take at least three months to complete, what wood are you going to use?" ”
"Boss, what wood do you have here?"
"Except for the golden silk nanmu, there is everything."
Golden silk nanmu can only be used by royalty.
"If it's all made of rosewood, how much silver will it cost?"
"One thousand taels, no bargaining. The time of yellow rosewood is longer, at least half a year. ”
One thousand taels!! Wen Jiarui's heart trembled, Sister Nuan shouldn't want to use Huanghuali, right?
That's for dignitaries!
"Sister Nuan, ordinary wood is fine. It doesn't have to be expensive! ”
"I know." Warm especially like the rosewood furniture, but half a year is too long!
Warmth asked, "What about the oak?" ”
"One hundred and fifty taels, no bargaining."
The corners of his warm mouth twitched, and he didn't have to remind him not to negotiate every time!
However, the price of this handiwork is also affordable.
Wen Jiarui listened to the warmth and whispered: "Sister Nuan, the furniture is not in a hurry, or wait for the house to be built." Dad went into the mountains again to chop wood and did it slowly. Now with the bamboos? ”
Most of the furniture in the village is cut by themselves, found carpenters to make it, or made it themselves, with bamboo, with wood, simple and practical, at most it costs a few taels of silver.
Spending more than 100 taels to buy, Wen Jiarui was a little heartbroken.
"No, you've got a lot to do! Boss, let's make it from oak! ”
Wen Jiarui's time to go into the mountains to cut wood was enough for her to earn back several hundred and fifty taels.
"Okay." Zhou Zheng couldn't help but continue to look at those furniture design drawings, the more he looked at them, the more he liked them, and he couldn't take his eyes off: "Where did you get these drawings?" ”
It was as if a skylight had opened for him. Gave him countless inspirations, and it turned out that furniture could still do this! It turns out that it doesn't have to be complicated to be beautiful, and it's beautiful to be simple.
"Nature is painted. I also have a lot of more elaborate furniture blueprints. Warmth didn't miss the experience in his eyes, and she had a plan in mind.
Zhou Zheng raised his head and looked at the warmth incredulously: "You painted it?" ”
He had an idea in his mind, but he didn't say it, he had to wait for the furniture to be made and see the effect.
Although with his many years of experience in carpentry, he knows that it is definitely not bad.
"Hmm."
After getting a positive return, Zhou Zheng was relieved: "These furniture don't have too many complicated patterns, they are faster to make, and oak is faster to do!" More than a month is fine. ”
Huanghuali shop does not have so much wood, and it will be much slower to buy.
"Good. Do I need to pay a deposit first? ”
"No, let's just come and get the goods when the time comes!" Zhou Zheng folded the drawing, carefully stuffed it into his arms, and went to work on the wood in his hand again, without even saying a word to send off the guests.
Wen Jiarui and Nuan Nuan didn't care, they didn't bother him, and the two left the wood shop directly.
