From the beginning to the end of life, from the beginning to the end, whether the process is exciting or not, these two points are actually the same.

Those who come naked, and those who go naked.

When he came, the house was full of joy.

When leaving, relatives and friends mourned.

The scenery is beautiful, and the death is bland.

However, Master Shen's death is not uneventful, because his heart is gone, and he is still very thorough.

After the death of the prisoners in the autumn beheading field, there were people who would help sew up the corpses and heads, and the eunuchs in the court had to have their treasures buried with them when they died.

It is very important to have a whole corpse when you die, and in the impression of the Chinese people, it is a very vicious oath to die without a whole corpse.

Therefore, due to Shen Yuanwai's incomplete heart and a hole, he had to find something to replace it in order for him to be able to walk.

Zhang Xiaojia took Zhang Xiaoyi and Hei Haoqin out of the house, each of them had a bright yellow gossip robe, Zhang Xiaoyi's robe was his father's, after all, he rarely went out with Zhang Xiaojia in the past few years, and the previous robe was small, and the family didn't do it, and now he can only wear his father's top.

The three of them combed their Tai Chi buns on their heads, and just combing their hair wasted Zhang Xiaoyi's work for a long time, and finally it was completed with the help of Haozi.

For the sake of the noodles.

After coming out, he didn't go directly to Shen's house, but went to the carpenter Liu's house first.

A fairly atmospheric shop on Baihu Street, with all kinds of wooden furniture in the shop, I heard that the backyard also makes coffins, but it is not a professional coffin shop. If someone is looking for it, they will make it, and if no one is looking for it, they will make furniture.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhang Xiaojia shouted: "Lao Liu, the person who sent the money is here, what about the people?" ”

Hearing the voice, a lean man in his forties with two mustaches came out from behind the curtain in the shop.

Holding a sheepskin ruler in his hand, he said with a smile: "Yo, it's early enough, I thought you would have to come back later." ”

"Is what I want ready?" Seeing his father sitting on the chair, Zhang Xiaoyi began to look at the shop.

Carpenter Liu is not the most famous carpenter in the entire Xianlai County, but his craftsmanship can be regarded as one of the best figures in the entire Xianlai.

Why is it that the craftsmanship is good, but it is not the most famous?

Because his team is too small, he usually has to buy large objects or have a lot of furniture, and the construction period here is too slow.

It is very important to do buying and selling, packaging and promotion,

Who's carpentry shop must not have a little hard currency, red sandalwood furniture, Huanghuali tables and chairs must not put a few pieces, a large number of apprentices, whether there is a live shop, there must be a sound of tug and saw.

Big families come and take a look, ho, this business is done like this, fast and good, it must be given to others.

But what about the carpenter Liu, since Zhang Xiaoyi entered the house, a few pieces of mahogany furniture, the hall was simple and pitiful, and there were all kinds of small wooden ornaments on the cabinets.

However, Zhang Xiaojia admires this carpenter Liu very much, and he comes here every time he wants something.

First, the price is fair and the craftsmanship is good.

Second, I am familiar with it, and I don't want to go to other homes.

Besides, Zhang Xiaojia can have any big objects, which are basically gadgets, so carpenter Liu is completely sufficient.

Zhang Xiaoyi casually picked up a fan bone on the shelf, good guy Xiangfei bamboo.

Zhang Xiaoyi is not very familiar with these, in his previous life, he had a girlfriend's father who was engaged in literary play, in order to get closer to his future father-in-law, he did not lack knowledge such as walnut gourd hand string woodware.

So

Today, he can see at a glance that this bone is not ordinary.

Open the fan bone, carved is a beautiful dressing picture, the whole fan bone is pieced together into a painting, the carving is extremely fine, he can see a little itchy.

Carpenter Liu is skillful enough, and he is also very good at carving.

Zhang Xiaoyi played with the fan, to say that this old man is also strange, he dared to put such a valuable fan bone on the big surface.

Even if it is placed in a high-end entertainment store, you have to find a beautiful small box to store it.

Carpenter Liu turned around and entered the house, he didn't even worry about Zhang Xiaoyi, and he didn't worry about him going along with his fan bones.

After a while, he walked out again, a square box of mahogany, ten inches long, a square box.

put it on the table and smiled:

"It's been ready for a long time, you come the first day, and I'll carve it out the next day."

"Well done, go back to the Shen family to get the money, as much as you want."

"Okay brother, I'm relieved to have your words, and I'll come back to me if I have this business in the future, and I'll keep the wood for you."

Zhang Xiaoyi put down the fan bone, walked up to Zhang Xiaojia and asked, "Dad, what's here?" ”

Zhang Xiaojia smiled, stretched out his hand to open the box, and Zhang Xiaoyi and Hei Haoqin stepped forward to take a look.

"Heart?"

Zhang Xiaojia said with a smile: "How did Shen Yuanwai die, he was dug out of his heart, with this treasure, how could that group of monks rob us." ”

"High!"

Hei Haoqin gave a thumbs up, and in his mind, he threw himself to the ground with the five bodies that his master admired.

"The carving is good, Brother Jia, inspect the goods?"

"I'm relieved of your craftsmanship." Zhang Xiaojia closed the lid, he really didn't inspect the goods, it seems that he is really confident in the craftsmanship of carpenter Liu.

Yes, too,

The fan bones are carved so well, and the heart is even better.

"Uncle Liu, why don't you become an engraver if you have this skill, isn't that better than doing this to make money?"

Zhang Xiaoyi wondered in his heart, if he has this skill, he can't rush to ask for it, and it's not suitable to find a good face to be the boss, how is it much better than being a carpenter.

No matter how good the carpenter's skills are, how can you make a few dollars by working hard to make a set of cabinets,

As an engraver, a small object may change hands and sell for hundreds or thousands of taels of silver.

So

I really don't understand Carpenter Liu's approach.

Carpenter Liu Xiaoxiao didn't speak, but Zhang Xiaojia explained to his son with a smile: "This is called radish and cabbage, each has his own love." Your Uncle Liu is such a unique person.

Although the carving skills are good, people prefer to pick up large pieces. ”

Facing Zhang Xiaojia's ridicule, Lao Liu smiled and said: "Brother A still understands me." ”

Zhang Xiaoyi nodded,

The head of the average master is not very normal.

"Big nephew, I heard that you were beaten up last month?"

Zhang Xiaoyi glanced at his father, and Zhang Xiaojia smiled.

Carpenter Liu smiled: "Look at your father, people who are familiar with your father basically know this matter." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Liu, for your concern."

"You're welcome." As he spoke, he walked to the shelf, took off the fan bone and walked to Zhang Xiaoyi's side and said, "It's all old neighborhoods, don't say that uncle doesn't take care of you." Just see that you like it, give it to you to play, and treat it as a gift from Uncle Liu to wish you recovery. ”

"No, no, no, it's too expensive." Zhang Xiaoyi refused again and again, and he couldn't get a few hundred taels of silver for this fan bone.

Carpenter Liu continued to push: "What's precious, let you take it, you can take it, this kid." ”

Zhang Xiaojia also interjected at this time: "If your Uncle Liu gives it to you, you will continue." ”

He patted the heart containing the box and said, "I don't count how much the fan bone is worth, just say that the wood plus his little man-hours, this wood heart earns enough money for him to buy a bunch of bamboo." ”

"Huh? Is that heart that valuable? This time it was Zhang Xiaoyi's turn to be dumbfounded, he didn't take a closer look at the wooden heart just now.

Carpenter Liu stuffed the fan into his arms and said, "Jin Sinan's." ”

After all, Zhang Xiaojia didn't act as a middleman this time, but just ordered from him, and then asked the carpenter Liu to go to Shen's house to get the money.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaojia did not earn the money to sell the goods, so Zhang Xiaoyi clenched the fan bone, and he was at ease with this rebate.

After coming out of the hands of carpenter Liu, Zhang Xiaoyi had an extra exquisite fan in his hand.

Playing with it in his hand, in fact, he is not keen on this kind of thing, but when he really encounters a good thing, he will also be excited.

Zhang Xiaoyi held the fan in his hand, rubbed the fan back and forth in his palm, and coiled it.

Zhang Xiaojia saw that his son was quite interested, so he said: "Go back and get two dollars for you, you go to Zhuque Street, find a shop that makes fans, and let him show you a fan." ”

"Okay."

"Plain table, you need good paper, a little thinner, so that you can print the big girl carved by the fan bone."

"I know, Dad."

"Hmm."

"If the craftsmanship is good, you can look at it."

The grandfather chatted and walked, Zhang Xiaojia was really stingy with his son, and Zhang Xiaoyi understood why the original body was so skinny.

Haozi doesn't understand fans and doesn't love these things.

In his heart, such a small fan, the wind can't fan it, what is the use of it? It's not as comfortable as a fan, why discuss this?

His gaze glanced in both directions, especially the shops selling sauced meat.

After walking for a while,

The grandfather and the couple raised their heads together,

The Shen family has arrived.
