At this time, someone in the crowd shouted: "Looking for Lu Yan, isn't Lu Yan quite good at carpentry?" I saw it last time! ”

Si Si hasn't left yet, she has been watching the excitement, and now when she heard that someone recommended Lu Yan, she was a little confused.

Probably the last time, when she thought the dinner table in the house was uneven, Lu Yan made a new table at home, and was seen that time!

The village chief's eyes were sharp, and he saw it at a glance, and Lu Yan, who was hiding in the crowd, hurriedly walked in and came to Lu Yan's side.

Then immediately pushed Lu Yan forward: "Here, Lu Yan is here!" ”

Lu Yan: "......"

The village chief was so strong that he pushed him in front of the squire at once, and barely collided with the squire.

"You're a carpenter?" The squire looked at Lu Yan and asked, he didn't expect to be so young and handsome.

Lu Yan didn't squirm, seeing the squire's puzzled eyes, although there was no special expression on his face, he also responded calmly: "I can do it, and my skills are not bad." ”

Compared with Da Zhuang, Lu Yan's attitude was not eager, but it was also very satisfactory to Squire Wu, and Squire Wu asked again: "Then if you are asked to make a batch of desks and chairs, can you do it?" ”

"As long as the price is right, of course you can," Lu Yan said, he is not a rich man, he wants to make money to support his family: "According to the market price, a set of desks and chairs is forty Wen, how many sets do you want?" ”

He didn't even stutter.

"A set of forty texts? I think about it, we will probably make forty sets, forty sets, a total of forty sets, then a total of ......" Squire Wu estimated in his heart.

"Count nine taels of silver," Lu Yan calculated quickly, and without waiting for the squire to calculate it, he took the lead in reporting the number.

Squire Wu saw that this young man looked quite reliable, not to mention that he was handsome, he was still so fast in settling accounts, and he was not twisted at all in terms of money, so he couldn't help but smile and said: "No problem, this time I will run a school in your village, Lao Fu Yin has made a lot of money, you don't have to worry about money, just do the things well, and the deposit will be in place in half a month." ”

“……”

……

After Squire Wu left, the village chief immediately held a small meeting with the craftsmen, carpenters, and masons who were in charge of building the school, and explained the next matters, including when to start construction and when to make tables and chairs.

Because it is a school funded by Lao Fu Yin, the village chief attaches great importance to it, and he has repeatedly emphasized: It must be fast, fast and good!

Si thought that this matter was assigned by the squire, and it was unlikely that he would change the hexagram, but Lu Yan alone might not have enough manpower, and the village chief came to urge him a few times, so he had a headache.

While handing the materials to Lu Yan, she said, "How long are you going to be busy with making so many tables by yourself?" Why don't we find a few people to help, do you think there is a more clever one in this village who is suitable to come and help out? ”

"It's not bad to let the people in the village learn some crafts and have one more way to live, and we don't rely on this to make money."

After Lu Yan heard what she said, the movements of his hands slowly slowed down, and he replied: "This matter is not a day's work, if you call someone to help now, it will be self-defeating, why don't you find a few people to come over to me now, help me hand over something or something, you can gather around and see how I do it, how much I learn, what I can learn, it depends on their creation." ”

He paused, then continued: "As for the manpower, I have a suitable candidate in mind. ”

"Who is it?"

Si Si asked with some confusion.

Lu Yan smiled mysteriously at her, and didn't say anything.

The next day, Lu Yan went to the city, and when he came back, there was one more person by his side.

"Li Qin?"

Si Si looked at the person standing beside Lu Yan with some surprise, "Why are you here?" ”vp

"Come here and make wood!" Lu Yan said first.

Isn't this a secret guard? How did you come here to do carpentry.

Si Si looked at Li Qin suspiciously, and Li Tan secretly rolled his eyes in his heart.

The ghost knows that he stayed in the troupe for a good time, why did he come over to do carpentry work, didn't he just get a little carpentry seen by Lu Yan? How can this be pulled over to be a strong man!

But of course he couldn't say these words to Si Si, Lu Yan was still standing on the side, didn't he want to say these words because he didn't want his own life?

"Lu Yan wants to find someone to help, it just so happens that I know carpentry, and the troupe has been relatively idle recently, so I came over to help."

It turns out that this is the case, I didn't expect Li Qin to look cold-hearted and cold-faced, and he is quite righteous!

Si Si thought silently.

If Li Qin knew what she was thinking in her heart, she would probably spurt out a mouthful of old blood.

Your husband forced me to come, and I didn't come here voluntarily!

The two of them did it together, and the progress was much faster, and the original wood in the house was not enough.

According to Lu Yan's experience, it is best to use oak wood for desks and chairs, but oak wood is more common in the north, but not much in the south, so Lu Yan also decided to use pine, just right, there are many pine trees on the mountain.

He first took the people who came to study to the mountains and cut a batch of wood first, because the desks and stools and other large things have to be degreased and dried for a period of time after they come back, so the wood must be prepared first.

A few young men went to the mountains to chop wood together, and even the half-baked carpenters in the village had joined them, and for a while, the big guys were in full swing.

……

The most discussed thing among the villagers recently is the establishment of a school in the village, and no, the group of women who are washing clothes by the river are also talking about this:

"The busiest people in our village recently should be Da Zhuang and Lu Yan's family, right?"

"But it's not, the school that Lao Fu Yin wants to build, if it can't be built, it will kill the head, do they dare not take it seriously?"

"If they build the school, then they will be the heroes of our village in the future, don't you say?"

"I feel that none of the Lu Yan family are mortals! You see that Sisi is doing a good job of farming, the rice in our village was still her help, and Lu Yan can hunt, not to mention, I didn't expect the carpentry work to be so good. ”

"And these two husband and wife are very handsome, they don't look like the farmers in our village at all."

Meng Lili was also washing clothes by the river at this time, and the more she listened to it, the more unpleasant it became.

Why are they all in Quas!

The river was very cold in winter, and the fingers of her hands were red from the cold, but she still rubbed a jacket in her hand repeatedly.

After kneading it for a long time, she suddenly dropped the jacket, and the rest of the clothes could not be washed, so she only put all the clothes back into the basin, and then left with the wooden basin.

……

"Dad, making tables and chairs for the school is such an important thing, why don't you fight for it! You can let your cousin do it, as the saying goes, fertilizer and water don't flow into outsiders' fields, you can push such a good thing outward, forty sets of tables and chairs for more than nine taels of silver, all let Na Sisi earn! ”

As soon as Meng Lili came back, she complained angrily to her father.

Meng Zhuangshi was hugging his grandson in the yard, and after listening to Meng Lili's words, he also said embarrassedly: "I didn't expect the squire to find a carpenter so soon that day, so I didn't think of your cousin for a while, plus you also saw the situation that day, the village chapter pushed Lu Yan out at once, Lu Yan was also quite calm, the squire seemed to be quite satisfied, and decided to hand over the carpentry work to him on the spot." ”
