Besino, "Do you know where the carpenter's house is?" ”

Gu Rao shook her head.

Although she lived in the town for a few months, she was not so attentive to remember what each shop on the street was doing, not to mention that she had to do business every day and did not have so much time to go shopping.

Beye said, "There shouldn't be many guests in the afternoon, let's wait another half an hour, and the door will close after half an hour, and I'll go with you." ”

"You go upstairs to rest for half an hour, and then I'll call you when I finish the stall."

Gu Rao hesitated.

Beno continued, "Today is already more than half over, and there is not much difference between you going now and waiting for half an hour later, and the carpenter will not make the cup a day in advance. ”

Gu Rao just gave up.

"Then I'll go up and rest, if you're tired, close the stall early."

Earn less and earn less.

-

After the couple went out, they closed the door and came to Tan's carpenter's house on East Street together, and as soon as they entered, they saw a wooden relief coffin in the courtyard.

Gu Rao, "......"

Strange oozing!

Beye didn't notice his wife's emotions, but after seeing the coffin, he thought about it, walked over to look at the coffin carefully, and reached out to touch the carvings on it.

"This coffin is really well made."

Tan Song was sawing wood and raised his head when he heard this.

"It was set by Liu Yuanwai in the town, a total of two coffins were ordered, one for himself and one for his wife, and it took me nearly half a year to make his coffin." Motioning to them to look at the wood they were building, "His wife's coffin has just begun, and it will take another month to say the least." ”

Besino's head turned sideways to discuss with his wife beside him.

"When we get older, let's also come to him to order coffins, Tan's carpenter's skills are quite good, many people in our village need wooden things to come to him to make."

Carpenter Tan took the opportunity to brag.

"My ancestors came to settle in Wild Boar Town a hundred years ago, and they have always done carpentry skills, and my carpentry skills are handed down from my ancestors, which is naturally better than ordinary carpenters."

"If you want to order a coffin, it's best to ask me to order it two or three years in advance."

"First, there are too many people who come to me to order coffins, basically everyone in the town who wants to buy coffins is looking for me, and it will take time for you to wait until you are in line."

"Second, the wood used to make the coffin is particular, if you want me to prepare the wood, I can slowly find good wood for you."

"Look at Liu Yuanwai's coffin, the front is large and the back is small, in the shape of a ladder, from the front of the head, it just looks like a half-sided log, this is a good coffin."

"If the family is wealthy, they usually use four whole wood squares to make longevity timber, and the cover, bottom and side boards are all made of whole square materials."

"And if the conditions at home are not good, you can only use leftovers to piece together."

The main body of the coffin is made of paulownia wood, and the baffles at both ends are made of cypress wood, which is hard, water-resistant and anti-corrosion, and the fragrance that can make pests retreat."

"His wife's coffin was made of the most common fir wood."

Gu Rao frowned.

"Liu Yuanwai's own coffin is made of good wood, but he uses ordinary wood for his wife."

Carpenter Tan laughed.

"Liu Yuanwai is willing to make a good coffin for his wife, instead of buying a random coffin made of more inferior wood, and even the pattern is not carved, but a cheap coffin that people can paint, which is already very good for his wife, and some people are reluctant to spend this money on their wives even if they have money at home."

"His wife's coffin, excluding the whole piece of wood, plus the carving process, is to say the least."

Five fingers were outstretched.

Gu Rao, "Five taels of silver? ”

The corners of Carpenter Tan's mouth twitched.

"The wood alone is more than five taels of silver, plus there are so many complicated processes such as carving and painting."

Gu Rao suddenly realized.

"Fifty taels?"

Carpenter Tan nodded.

"That's exactly the number."

The corners of Gu Rao's mouth twitched.

"You carpenters are quite profitable."

Carpenter Tan pretended to be modest.

"It's this bowl of rice to eat, don't think you can make more money as a coffin, but it also takes a lot of time, sometimes a coffin takes half a year."

For example, Liu Yuanwai's coffin.

"The craft of making a coffin is ancestral, passed on to men and not to women, it is not easy to make a good longevity, from the design of the shape, looking for good wood, coloring and painting, etc., it takes a lot of cumbersome processes, in short, it is very exquisite, and the general carpenter can not do it."

"I still have seven coffins to make."

"If you have the conditions at home, you can find me to make your coffin right now, and do it as soon as possible, so that you don't have to worry about this matter for the rest of your life."

The corners of Gu Rao's mouth twitched fiercely.

"We're still young, it's unlucky to put a coffin at home so early, right?"

Carpenter Tan disagreed.

"'Coffin' is also known as 'official wealth', which means that the official fortune is prosperous and the wealth is prosperous, and the coffin is also called longevity, and the meaning of longevity and longevity."

"There is a coffin at home, and it is auspicious, promoted to become wealthy, and it means to increase blessings and longevity, and it is a mascot."

"Some poor families, since they were teenagers, began to accumulate longevity wood to make coffins, and it took most of their lives to make a coffin."

"It's better to be prepared if you put it at home early, right?"

Gu Rao, "......"

What a prepared one! I feel more and more unlucky!

"No need."

"We don't have the conditions yet."

Carpenter Tan was not reluctant.

"Then come to me when you have the conditions."

Straight to the point.

Gu Rao took out a drawing from her cuff, handed it to Carpenter Tan and said, "I want to ask you to make a milk tea cup, you can help me see if I can make it." ”

Carpenter Tan stretched out his hand to take it, looked at it for a while, and said, "Such a simple cup, you still ask me if I can make it, don't you underestimate me?" ”

"How many?"

Gu Rao said, "Do you want more discounts?" ”

Carpenter Tan nodded.

"In addition to the quantity, it also depends on what kind of wood you choose, good wood is expensive, no matter how cheap I can't give you too much cheap."

"If you want a small cup, if you want to save money, you can use leftovers, I can give you a cheaper."

Gu Rao said, "Then use the corner section to make it, and I need two hundred cups for the time being." ”

Carpenter Tan was stunned.

"Two hundred?"

When you buy so many cups, do you have to change them every day? Or do you use it as a disposable, and then throw it away? Or is there more than 200 people in the family?

Could it be that he has lost his eyes, and this couple who are born face to face are actually low-key rich people?

Only the rich dare to do this!

Gu Rao said with a smile, "My family is in business, and the milk tea sold has always been served in bowls before, and many customers have inconvenient reactions, so I thought of making milk tea cups and using special milk tea cups to hold milk tea." ”

"With the milk tea cup, guests can take it away and drink it."

The milk tea cup on the drawing is round, narrow at the bottom and wide at the top, and there is a milk tea lid with a small round hole in the middle of the lid for inserting a wooden milk tea straw.

When Carpenter Tan heard that it was a business, the surprise in his heart disappeared, but he was still stunned.

"You mean, sell milk tea and get a cup by the way?"

Gu Rao shook her head.

"I bought the milk tea cup with money, so naturally it is impossible to give it to the guest for free, but if it is too expensive, the guest will definitely not want to buy it."

"So, can it be cheaper?"
