Chapter 2 Ingenuity, turning decay into magic
For the next seven days, the snow stopped, melted again, froze, and froze.
The power of the snow chill also swept in.
So much so that the rhubarb at the door spends most of his time shrunk in his nest and lies in a haystack, only occasionally popping up to listen to the movements of the East House.
As the owner, Wu Yuan eats and lives on the desk of the East House.
I was stunned to change the previous rustic combination cabinet to be mellow and natural, and the three hundred and sixty degrees were full of foreign air without dead ends.
Then brushed with Mouton oil, the texture of the original wood color is set off more and more eye-catching, and even has the original ecological temperament pursued by later generations of solid wood furniture.
Not only that, the four cabinets of height and height, plus a cabinet, can also be combined at will to create a variety of different shapes.
Extremely adaptable.
On the eighth day of the lunar month, it is the Laba Festival.
Originally, the big market that only met in 369 was a market, and now it is an exception.
Wu Yuan carried the combination cabinets one by one onto the flatbed truck, stuffed some rags to wrap the corners and corners, and tied them with a long hemp rope.
Then he went straight to the big set of a well township.
Yijing Township is located on the outskirts of the city, and the market is the largest, and many city people frequent.
Wu Yuanxuan was there, and he also pointed to the fact that this set of combination cabinets could be favored by the rich people from the city, and then sold for a good price.
Along the way, the flatbed truck was bumpy along the gravel road, shaking Wu Jiang's hands.
I finally came to the market in a well township.
Looking at it from a distance, it was crowded with people, and I couldn't see the edge.
In addition, the weather is good today, and many vendors are still flocking in.
Wu Yuan picked a piece of dry land, moved down the combination cabinets one by one, arranged them according to the most common shape, and then sat on the flatbed handlebar, took out the dried red lotus from his bag, and chewed it there.
He didn't shout, anyway, as soon as the combination cabinet was put here, people who knew the goods would naturally stop and ask the price.
And as far as he knows, although the combination cabinet is very popular in the south, it is still a new item in Beigang County.
As for the combination cabinet he pulled, it is also unique in today's bazaars in more than one mile.
It wasn't until noon, when the cold sunlight rarely had a hint of temperature, that an elderly old man stopped to stay.
Stretched out his hand and touched the corners for a long time, patted the counter and asked, "How do you sell this furniture?" ”
"Uncle, I'm a combination cabinet that is popular in the south. Marry a daughter-in-law for your son, and marry a daughter-in-law, and have a face. And my set of combination cabinets, this is the only set, you can't find a second set on the boundary of Beigang! ”
"The price, one thousand two, including door-to-door installation!"
When the old man heard this, he craned his neck and left.
Wu Yuan was not discouraged, squatted down and continued to gnaw on the red roots.
But the big brother who was weaving the basket next to him couldn't hold his breath: "Little brother, you dare to call one thousand two, let alone today, you can't sell it for ten days or eight days!" It's too expensive, where can ordinary people in Beigang afford it? ”
"Big brother, there is a fate to sell goods, it's really hard to say."
Besides, Wu Yuan is also very wronged, of course the price is going to be shouted, if you want to buy it, you will sit on the ground and bargain.
I left without saying a word, and I didn't want to buy it after all.
The two of them just finished talking.
Another middle-aged couple stopped in front of the combination cabinet, and the woman wore a very foreign ski shirt, compared with the bloated figure of other women, the temperament was highlighted.
Wu Yuan noticed that the light in this woman's eyes was getting brighter and brighter, and he had a number in his heart.
Finally, after ordering a pinny plum, the man opened his mouth: "Little brother, how are you going to sell this combination cabinet?" ”
Wu Yuan stepped forward, "Big brother, at a glance, you are also an expert in knowing goods." Not to mention the price, what do you think, how is the craftsmanship of this set of combination cabinet masters? ”
The man exhaled a puff of smoke, touched the subtle traces of the mortise and tenon joints, and figured out: "This craft can't be done in thirty years." Little brother, this set of cabinets was made by your master, right? ”
Thirty years is right.
Isn't it more than 30 years of craftsmanship when I was reborn at the age of 55?
Wu Yuan gave a thumbs up, "Big brother is really an expert, this set of combination cabinets is indeed a master, it took half a year to build it by himself." Beigang County is the only one! I don't want much for the price, one thousand two make a friend, buy it back and put it at home! ”
The man glanced at the woman, and then asked: "Package delivery to the door, package door-to-door installation?" ”
"That's a must, service to the home. With such a trivial matter of installation, there is no need to bother my master to do it. ”
"Okay, you can pull up the cabinet and come with us."
"Okay!"
Wu Yuan agreed, full of excitement.
Hearing this, the big brother of the craftsman next to him couldn't help but envy, jealousy, and hatred.
1,200 pieces.
That's enough for him to make a thousand baskets.
People are numb.
followed the middle-aged couple and came to the county office compound.
Wu Yuan was sweating all over, and the dried red lotus that he had eaten in his arms was hot and soft.
Moving the combination cabinet upstairs in one go, the middle-aged woman handed him a cup of hot water: "Little master, it's troublesome." ”
Wu Yuan took the teacup: "Thank you, eldest sister, wrap me up." ”
The installation of the combination cabinet is simple.
The main thing is that the owner's family needs to make some effort to vacate the space for placing the combination cabinet.
I was busy until four or five o'clock, and then I stopped completely.
took 120 pieces of unity from the middle-aged woman's hand, counted them, and twisted them in her hand to determine the feel of the real money, and then she pulled the flatbed truck away with great gratitude.
On the way back, Wu Yuan was happy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
Until the entrance of the township road of a well, Wu Yuan pulled a flatbed truck all the way downhill and went straight to the third sister's house in the countryside of a well.
Meanwhile.
Wu Xiuhua was also worried at home.
The younger brother decided to marry Yang Luoyan, and she said that she asked him to find a way to make money by himself, but in fact, she had already taken this matter to heart.
Since the death of his parents, there is only such a younger brother left in his hometown Liyuan Village.
The family is not successful, the business is not established, she doesn't care about the third sister, who will take care of it?
Counting on the eldest sister and the second sister?
Every time the eldest sister goes back to her brother's house, it is good to take away some grain and cabbage.
As for the second sister, she is not well-off, and there are many children in the family, so she is powerless at all.
The fourth sister's family is not bad, and she is also a village party secretary.
But he always said that his younger brother looked down on him and didn't listen to any explanation, so it was impossible to count on him to help.
It's just that Wu Xiuhua raised money and even borrowed a few uncles' houses, and only then did he borrow 600 yuan.
That's more than half the story.
You can't even have money for a wedding event after paying the bride price, right?
Just then, there was a dog barking outside the door.
The younger brother hugged his second brother and strode in, shouting as he walked: "Third sister, third sister? ”
Wu Xiuhua lifted the curtain and showed her face: "Here, put Xiaowen down and ask him to play by himself." ”
Wu Yuan put down Xiong Wen, and did not forget to threaten with a fierce look: "Next time, let me see you playing by the river, and my uncle will fight once he sees it!" ”
Wu Xiuhua said disapprerovingly: "Now the river is freezing, don't scare Xiaowen so much." ”
Wu Yuan still gave Xiaowen a grimace viciously.
