"Brother Qiangzi, it's you, my father is here." The door of the fence courtyard was opened, and a little girl about ten years old poked her head out of it and looked at Zhong Qiang talking to him with a smile.

"It's Niu Niu."

"Well, Brother Qiangzi, come on in." The little girl opened the fence door completely, let Zhong Qiang in, closed the fence door, walked quickly with her calves, and ran towards his father, shouting loudly as she ran, "Daddy, Daddy, Brother Qiangzi is here, Brother Qiangzi is here." ”

Carpenter Zhong and his eldest son and second son were digging wood and carving in the back of the yard, and everyone had their own work and worked very hard.

Hearing the sound of his daughter's shouting, Carpenter Zhong stopped what he was doing, looked up at the intersection, "You slow down, there is a lot of wood here, don't bump into it." ”

"Dad, it's okay. Dad, Brother Qiangzi is here, he should have come to you to fight something. "Although Niuniu is ten years old, some of them already understand.

Zhong Qiang's marriage was not hidden, so everyone in the same village knew about it, some were happy for him, some were very regretful, and some were even complaining, in short, there were all kinds of emotions.

As long as someone in the village is married, they will definitely come to her house to find her father to fetch things, some make tables, some make chairs, and some make wooden basins.

So as soon as she heard Zhong Qiang's voice, she ran to open the door, which meant that there was business for her, and his father and brothers had a job.

As soon as the snow disaster came, until now, her father only picked up one or two scattered ones, and now Brother Qiangzi is here, can she be unhappy, it's all money.

Carpenter Zhong cleaned the wood chips from his clothes, told his son a few words, and then went back to the hall.

In the hall, Zhong Qiang was entertained by Aunt Liu, the daughter-in-law of Carpenter Zhong, and sat in the hall waiting for Carpenter Zhong.

As soon as he saw Carpenter Zhong, Zhong Qiang immediately got up from the chair and politely greeted Carpenter Zhong: "Uncle Carpenter, do you have any time recently?" Zhong Qiang did not say the purpose of his visit as soon as he came up, but first asked Carpenter Zhong if he was free.

"Yes, what are you going to fight?" After the news of Zhong Qiang's marriage came in the village, he had basically guessed it, but he was not sure that he would definitely come.

When he came here, he didn't turn around, and asked directly.

"I want to make a cabinet and a dresser, this is a drawing, I don't know if Uncle Carpenter can make it?" As soon as Zhong Qiang heard it, he knew that Uncle Carpenter was going to take his order, so he took out the drawings given to him by his aunt and put them on the table and pushed them in front of Uncle Carpenter.

Carpenter Zhong raised his eyes and took a good look at Zhong Qiang, he hadn't seen him for so long, he had become different, he used to speak softly like a mosquito, but now he has become generous and unrestrained.

After a large number of Zhong Qiang, Zhong Carpenter's eyes moved to the drawings on the table, playing furniture, there is nothing to pay attention to in the farmhouse, as long as it is durable, only large families will have various requirements, and sometimes there will be drawings, which must be played in accordance with the style on the drawings.

Carpenter Zhong opened the drawing and looked at it, and his eyeballs almost fell out of his sockets...... This is also too good-looking, where did Zhong Qiang's drawings come from, under normal circumstances, the drawings will not be lost to outsiders.

Carpenter Zhong asked excitedly, "Qiangzi, are you ...... Where did you get this drawing? ”

"My aunt painted it for me, can Uncle Carpenter do it?" Zhong Qiang didn't understand Carpenter Zhong's excitement, and thought that he couldn't do it to show such excitement.

"Yes, why can't I do it, I'm just surprised by this drawing." He had also been in contact with drawings like this, and at that time he had to sign a contract with the owner of the furniture, and the drawings could not be leaked, let alone made privately, and if they were discovered, they would be sent to the officials.

With the constraints of the contract, even if you have the mind, you don't dare to move, and you can do your own work honestly.

Before, he didn't open his mouth to buy from the master's house, and the price offered by the opposing party was prohibitive, and he couldn't afford to buy drawings at all, which was really regrettable for a while.

Now this drawing is in Zhong Qiang's hands, which means that he must know the person who drew the drawing, and if he knows the person who drew the drawing, he can go to the door to talk to others about the drawing.

He believed that the furniture made from this drawing would be very popular, and he didn't believe that he couldn't make money.

"The drawings were drawn by my aunt. How long does it take Uncle Carpenter to make these two things? Zhong Qiang was worried that he would not be able to catch up with the day he got married, so he had to get a definite answer.

"Both of these are delicate jobs, but I don't have any work in my hands for the time being, and I can still make it in time before you get married, what wood do you want to use to make these two things?" Carpenter Zhong asked heartily.

"Uncle carpenter, I don't understand this, as long as it is durable and can be lived." This cabinet and dresser are only once in a lifetime, so it is natural to choose the most durable wood to make them.

"Okay, I know what to use with that kind of wood." He has worked with wood all his life, the most durable and the most time-resistant.

"Uncle Carpenter, how much do you think I have to pay you a deposit?" If Uncle Carpenter has time to build it, then he doesn't have to look far away.

"A tael of silver will do." The price of the cabinet and dresser is not very expensive, but his requirements are high, and the charges will be different.

"Hmm." Zhong Qiang took out a tael of silver from his arms and handed it to Carpenter Zhong, so that the furniture matter was also done. "Uncle carpenter, you can read this drawing, and I have to return it to my aunt." The more he was exposed, the more he knew, so he knew the importance of drawings.

Looking at Uncle Carpenter's expression just now, I knew that if this drawing fell into the hands of someone else, it would be to make wedding clothes for others.

"Got it, got it." Carpenter Zhong was made to laugh and cry by Zhong Qiang's words, he has been a carpenter all his life and still doesn't understand the importance of drawings, but he is also old from the other side, he is really different, just like the words from the people in the village, follow Zhong Dashan and his wife to eat meat.

This situation is obvious to all, this is not wrong at all, Zhong Dashan has indeed changed many people, and the people who work on his side are no longer as sad as before for food and clothing, and now they have a faint smile on their faces.

If he didn't have the craft, he would have been willing to go there and do things.

"Uncle, then I'll go first." After sitting for a while, Zhong Qiang proposed to leave, and Carpenter Zhong sent him to the door and watched him go away before turning back to the house.

"Niuniu, go to the backyard and call your brother and them." If you have a job, of course, you have to stick to Zhong Qiang's side first.

"Hey, I'll go right away." Niu Niu's figure disappeared into the corner in the blink of an eye.

"Big brother, second brother, dad let you go to the hall." Niuniu stood at the intersection and shouted at the two brothers who were still working hard.

"Little sister, what did Dad say again?" Big brother Zhong Dazhu looked at Niuniu and asked.

"No, I guess it should have something to do with Brother Qiangzi, you guys hurry up." Niu Niu stomped her feet on the spot, then turned around and ran.

The two brothers soon arrived at the hall, and saw his father lying on the table and studying the drawings intently.

After the two brothers approached, they saw the style of furniture painted on the drawings, and they were stunned for a while, and after a while, the eldest Zhong Dazhu came back to his senses, stared at the big eyes and asked, "Dad, is this...... This is what Zhong Qiang brought it? Who drew it? This is also so good-looking Dad! ”

"He brought it, Zhong Dashan's daughter-in-law painted it, Dazhu, if we buy this drawing and build these two pieces of furniture by ourselves, can we make money?" In his heart, he was very sure, he didn't say that, he wanted to hear his sons' opinions.

"Of course we can make money, Dad, we have also built furniture for large families, have you ever seen this? No, you think, if there is such a dresser in the dowry of the young lady of a large family, would it look very special, and would it look unique. "Men don't have high requirements for this kind of thing, only women like it, especially girls from big families, naturally they also want to be good and beautiful.

"Dad, I agree with the eldest brother's statement, if we really make it, we will definitely make money, and only our family can do such tricks. However, after a long time, it is easy to be learned by others, but it doesn't matter much at that time, at least our reputation has been played, and there must be many people looking for us to make furniture. Zhong Erzhu thought a little farther, but what he said was reasonable, those who are carpenters, after careful study, will do it in less than a year or two, and their relative income will be reduced, but this is normal, they are not the only ones who can carpenter, there are many capable people, his father said that the mentality is very important.

"Dad, how much are you going to pay for it?" Zhong Dazhu asked the most critical question, buying and selling, naturally, the price is strictly discussed, only when the price is negotiated and both parties are satisfied, can it be done.

"Thirty taels, do you think it's worth it?" There is only so much he can take out in his hand, and the rest has to save some daily living expenses.

"Dad, I guess it's hanging." Zhong Dazhu didn't think his father could succeed.

"Second brother, tell me about it." Carpenter Zhong looked at Zhong Erzhu and said.

"I haven't tried it, no one knows the result, Dad, if you really want it, we have to show sincerity, with Uncle Dashan now, he doesn't worry about money, the most important thing is how we do it."

After listening to the second child's words, Carpenter Zhong was silent, indeed, money, Zhong Dashan is not short at all, if you want to succeed, you must show 100% sincerity to impress them.

"There's no hurry, we'll go to the mountains tomorrow." The wood at home is not suitable for making furniture for Zhong Qiang, and he has to go to the mountains to get one tree in person.

"Got it, Dad." They had always listened to his father's orders, and there was no disagreement at this time.

"Why did you come back a little late today?" Zhong Lin sat in the hall and asked, looking at his great-grandson who came back late.

"I went to Uncle Carpenter, and I asked him to make me a cabinet and a dresser." Zhong Qiang didn't hide it from his grandfather, and explained honestly.

"Okay, you can think so far, grandpa is very pleased, it should be so." Zhong Lin Zhongqiang was very satisfied with this move, and he was a little worried before, but now he is full of confidence in him.
