After being full of wine and food, he separated from the fourth master at the door and sent Brother Qiu back to the warehouse.

"Okay, in the afternoon, you are busy with your own first, then there is nothing, you have to buy everything, remember to buy clothes, watch and buy them yourself, the money is less, tell me."

"If the money is less, I will definitely tell you, you have also seen, I still have a lot left, I plan to get a bed first, a piece of clothing, and I will slowly add the rest."

"Okay, you can count it in your own heart, you go forward two alleys, find Carpenter Lu, and call me by name!" There is still leftover rosewood in the warehouse, and it should be enough to set up furniture, so I want him to take a look, okay, go and return early. ”

"Alas!"

Walking through the two alleys, the homeless people on the side of the road were huddled together, their clothes were tattered, their eyes were numb and they looked at the passers-by, and from time to time they said please give them something to eat, and some of them were motionless, if their eyes were not moving, they were afraid that they would be no different from the dead. From time to time, he wears a Chinese kaftan with gray-blue elements, and even more nose pads, eyes, and a subtle beard at the corners of his mouth, which looks noble and elegant, and he knows that he is a high-level intellectual at a glance.

Along the way, I asked people for directions and came to a miscellaneous courtyard, where several women sat in the porter and chatted.

"Dare to ask, does Carpenter Lu live here?"

"Are you looking for Carpenter Lu to do something?"

"Yes, may I ask, is Carpenter Lu at home?"

"At home, his house is in the side room on the left side of the middle courtyard." "Hey, Lu, someone is looking for you again."

"Coming, coming, thank you, thank you."

"Oh, this gentleman is good, you are looking for me to be in charge, he is in the house now, not blowing with you, you inquire, I have nothing to say about the craftsmanship in this area, this is not just yesterday to help people make a set of furniture, just finished it, what are you going to do?"

"I just rented a room, but there is nothing in it, and I need to make a set of furniture"

Lu Shi smiled when he heard this, "You have found the right person, my craftsmanship is famous." ”

Came to the side room while talking, pushed the door in, "The housekeeper, the housekeeper, come out quickly, the guest is coming" "You sit first, we only have some coarse tea, don't dislike it, I'm going to call the housekeeper"

While speaking, a middle-aged man with a very serious face came out, and when he saw me, he smiled all over his face, and it was not easy for such a serious face to smile until his face was full of peach blossoms.

"This master, you are looking for me to work, I don't know what you want to do, bring it or not!"

"Carpenter Lu, Qiu Ye from the alley in front introduced us to you, what about me, I rented a house, but the furniture has been sold by the landlord, and I want to make a new set, you can give a price."

"Is it Qiu Ye from the warehouse in front of the Hutong warehouse?"

"Well, it's Qiu Ye from the warehouse in front of the Hutong warehouse."

"I don't know if you're bringing material or not."

"There's still some rosewood left in the warehouse, you can wait and see if a set of furniture is enough."

"Okay, look, I'll take 20 silver dollars in wages, do you think it's okay?"

"20 silver dollars, how long will you be ready."

"A set of furniture, just me and my son, can be finished in less than a month."

"Okay, come with me, go to my rented room and see if there's enough wood."

"Okay, you wait for me to get the guy to eat."

took Carpenter Lu to Zhao Siye's inverted room, and went to the warehouse to see the size of the wood.

"Master, you pay 5 silver dollars first, and I'll start doing it right away."

"Don't worry, you've seen the room too, you can get a bed so I can deal with it first, how about it"

"Do you mind, I'll give you my son's first, the bed is ready, I'm changing it back, what do you think?"

"Okay, you move first, get to the ground, and I'll give you the money."

"Gentlemen, I'll move now."

"Go, go, it's a little late today, I'll talk to Brother Qiu first, you will move the wood tomorrow, and we will see you at Fourth Master Zhao."

"Okay, you stay, I'll go first, see you Siye Zhao."

Arching his hand, Carpenter Lu walked back quickly, and disappeared around the corner. I turned my head and went into the house and saw Brother Qiu looking at the ledger.

"Brother Qiu, I agreed with the carpenter Nalu, he will move his son's bed to me first, 20 silver dollars to make a set of furniture in a month, and besides, I don't know how much the remaining rosewood in the warehouse will cost."

"Money, what's left worth. Last year, the proprietor took a concubine to make a set of furniture, but the wood was all used, and the materials were full, and there was no rosewood on this account, you know. ”

"I understand, the rosewood on the account was used up last year."

"It's good to know, let's go!"

"Then I'll go first."

When I came to Zhao Siye's house, I just had a few words of greeting with Zhao Siye, and I saw the carpenter on the street corner Lu with a few young men, humming and carrying a carved double bed, to him.

"Master, do you think it's okay?"

"Yes, yes, you can't make me any worse than this." The wood made by this Lu carpenter for his son is not a good material, but this craftsmanship looks really good.

"Look at what you said, your salary is enough, we must do it with our hearts."

"Okay, let's move in"

Carpenter Lu and a few young men carried it in again, put it away, and I took out 5 silver dollars and gave it to Carpenter Lu.

"Master, deposit, today, I will take it, and I will send you the furniture you want in a month."

"Okay, remember to come to the warehouse tomorrow to pull wood."

"Okay, see you later, you stay, stay."

I sent it to the door, and Carpenter Lu walked away with a few boys, seeing that he didn't look like he was busy yesterday, he should have been idle for a long time.

"Fourth master, I'm sorry for you."

"Where, let's take care of each other, I have a shelf for you to bring where you can put your clothes."

"You're still polite, I'll go back now, bring my things, and let's have two cups in two nights."

"That's a good feeling, I'll wait, and the shelf will be placed at your door."

"Okay, we'll see you later."

"See you later."

When I walked down the street, I saw a ready-to-wear shop walk in, and the guy hurried up to meet him

"Master, do you make it to order, or do you buy ready-to-wear clothes?"

"Yo, ready-to-wear stores can also make custom clothes."

"Master, you're laughing, but we can really order this."

"Then, let's make a suit for foreigners."

"Master, you're playing with us, how can we do this."

"I'm still playing with you, but I'm not so interested, okay, let's have a robe."

The ready-to-wear of the Republic of China is not like the current ready-to-wear, although it does not fit perfectly, it will not be loose. The ready-to-wear of the Republic of China always looks fat because it adapts to most people and reduces the number of yards. The small one yard is tight, the larger one yard looks fat and loose, and finally asked for two large sizes, and bought two pairs of shoes in the shoe store next door for a total of 5 silver dollars, and there are 20 silver dollars left in the hand, it can only be said that the price is not high, and there is a lot of earnings.

In the evening, after finishing dinner at Brother Qiu's, he carried the quilt, clothes, and shoes like a refugee, and walked to Zhao Siye's house.
