Chapter 203: Shavings Look at Life
After I explained, although Jiang Yifeng still didn't approve of it, he still made a choice according to the agreement.
Actually, I thought he would ask to follow me in to see it, but what I didn't expect was that he chose to let me explain it to him instead of following me in to see it!
"Why?" I don't understand his choice.
Jiang Yifeng had obviously thought about it very clearly, and when I asked him, he explained to me: "It's nothing, but I just think that you gave me an option to teach me this time, and gave me an option for me to realize by myself, then I can probably take it as a ...... You probably think that if I just look at it myself, I shouldn't be able to see anything. Otherwise, if you don't teach me at that time, won't I just be able to see it myself? I can see it myself, of course I can't ask you again! Usually, when you carry the coffin, it's like this. So, I decided that I would only understand if you spoke to me personally. Jiujiao, what I want to learn is your skills, if you refuse to teach me skills, what is the use of me seeing more excitement? ”
Listening to his words, I couldn't help but be amused by him.
I didn't expect that in a short period of time, he would understand.
"Then you should be able to teach me now, right?" Jiang Yifeng said to me.
I looked up, and the yard of the little carpenter's house had arrived. I said to Jiang Yifeng: "You take a look around the neighborhood first, and when I come out, I'll teach you!" ”
"Then you can hurry!" Jiang Yifeng looked very eager.
I smiled at him and said, "Don't worry, I'll be out soon." ”
When I went into the courtyard, I saw the little carpenter sitting in the courtyard making something, and the shape looked like a cupboard.
I went up to him and said hello, and he didn't raise his head and said 'um', even in response to me. It wasn't until the little work on my hands was finished, the sawdust on my hands was patted on my hands, and the tools were put away, that I had time to look at me.
With a smile on his face, he said to me, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, little coffin, you see, I'm messing up here." How? Are you looking for me? What's the good thing? ”
"If I'm looking for you, it won't be a good thing!" I glared at him angrily and said, "Finally willing to ignore me?" How? Didn't delay your work, did you? ”
"No, no!" The little carpenter shook his head, pulled me into the house, sat me down on a stool, and went to get me a cup and pour water, and while he was busy looking for something, he said to me, "Little coffin, you know, my father had such a rule in the first place. But if the work at hand is not finished, and the sky falls, you can't stop the work at hand. My father said that this bowl of rice was handed down by my grandfather, and we must not take it seriously if we have the ability to settle down and support our family. The guys in their hands and the things made by their subordinates are all aura, and they must not be neglected. ”
"Hey, it's the truth!" I smiled, not wanting to bother with him. Seeing that he poured water for me and brought it over, I took it and thanked him, and then asked, "You just said your father's rules, and you keep your father's rules, but how much can you learn your father's skills?" ”
"How many points? Hehe. The little carpenter smiled faintly, there seemed to be some nostalgia in his eyes, and he whispered to me, "Little coffin, you helped me do my father's funeral, and you and I know very well how my father left." For me, my father passed on to me not only the craft of carpentry, but more importantly, the heart of a carpenter. As long as I have this heart, I care about everything under my hands, everything must be done to the best I can, and everything must be better than the previous one. Even if I don't inherit much ability, I will gradually become proficient in the future! ”
At this point, he turned around and asked, "Okay, let's not beat around the bush." Just say, what the hell is going on? You're looking for me, aren't you asking me to make a coffin for anyone? Alas, speaking of which, it is really evil. I've heard about that in the village next door. But aren't you doing that job well? How? Could it be that you took another one? So fast? I'm afraid the business is too good, but I hope the customers don't come. I said, little coffin, your business is good, that's really not a good thing! ”
"You're really right!" I nodded and said to him, "I'm here this time to take on a job, and I have to make two coffins and match them into a pair." I'm in a hurry, and you can slow down a bit, but you have to start working first. ”
"What? What the? What do you mean? The little carpenter was stunned and asked me, "What do you mean to start work first if you don't need it urgently?" What kind of logic do you have? Hit the coffin, one bite at a time, is it possible that you still want to fight together? ”
"Don't care! Just do what I say. "It's rare for me to be overbearing to him.
The little carpenter looked at me strangely, and although he was puzzled, it was a pair of coffins after all, and since I had arranged it this way, he did not want to argue with me more. After a while, he nodded and said, "Okay, then it's up to you!" What materials do you want? How long does it take to complete? ”
"I'm going to see the finished product in three days. If you don't need it urgently, you can do whatever you want, five days or seven days or a little longer. As for the material...... I handed over the money Liu Yuncong gave me from my pocket and said to him, "This is the money that the master gave me to build a coffin for his old man and old lady." We all know how to do it, even if you are an octogenarian and make two coffins, this money is a lot, you have to choose for others! Do it well! The old man is still alive, and he is not in a hurry. I urgently need the old lady's coffin, and I will wait to be buried when it is ready. You can do the rest. ”
"Oh, that's ......," the little carpenter took the money, counted it in front of me, and then dumbfounded, "this...... That's too much, isn't it? ”
"People are big families in the county, and the family is big business!" I said to the little carpenter, "They don't lack this money, but the things must be good!" This thing passed through my hand and entered your hand, remember that there is a heaven, do not deceive! ”
"Of course, you can rest assured!" The little carpenter put the money away.
I stood up and pulled him to the yard, "Come on, come on, the wood will be selected first, and the old man's mouth will be started first, and I will leave after a glance." ”
"Why are you in such a hurry?" The little carpenter exclaimed, "You...... What the hell are you anxious about? Wood, the money you give, you must choose a good wood, how can you choose it so quickly? ”
"Don't tell me you didn't!" I narrowed my eyes and said to the little carpenter.
The little carpenter pursed his lips and said to me, "Okay, okay, that's what you're here!" Otherwise, I won't give those two good pieces of wood to people easily! Just send it to your patron! ”
Seeing that he was relieved, of course I was very grateful.
Then he went out into the courtyard and followed him to see the wood.
I helped him carry the timber into the yard, looked up and down, and couldn't help but nod. Such a thick, such good wood is indeed rare to see.
When the little carpenter saw that I nodded, he didn't say much, but went and got an axe himself, and told me to get out of the way a little.
I saw it and quickly avoided some distance.
The little carpenter swung his axe, found the right angle, and cut down the wood with an axe.
For a time, sawdust splashed.
I looked at the sawdust flying out, and I already had a plan in my mind.
"I'll come back in three days." I said this to the little carpenter, and then turned and left.
"Hey! You ......" The little carpenter was almost caught by me, and he didn't care about his father's rules, and caught up with me and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
I looked back at him and saw that he didn't seem to be a fake, and I already knew in my heart that it was probably Carpenter Liu who didn't have time to teach him this trick. Since Carpenter Liu didn't teach, I didn't want to tell him too much, so I just prevaricated him and said, "I suddenly remembered that Yifeng was waiting for me at the door, I had to leave quickly, otherwise he would be in a hurry." ”
With that, I ignored his cries, turned and went out of their yard.
