Chapter 63: The Imperial Carpenter 1

"It's good to be able to type, and the price is negotiable." Xiao said lightly and generously. "Then the boss will study and study first, and if it can be made, then I will order more such objects later. I don't know how long it will take the boss to finish. ”

Everything is going on in an orderly manner, and the workshop is estimated to be cleaned up today. The house over there has been vacant for too long, it is very damp, it smells musty inside and out, and after cleaning, it needs to be left open for a few days to dry and disperse the smell.

The spinning machine and the loom were not in a hurry, and she had to experiment first, weaving a piece of cloth and trying it.

The first time I saw a customer who didn't ask the price, I saw that this girl's clothes were very high-end, although she only wore a jade hairpin, but it was also excellent, and she should not be a liar.

"I look at the drawings drawn by my wife, they are very detailed, this one is more like a drawing of a wheel, relatively small, because I still have to study it, it can be made in about a day, and the other drawing, it looks relatively large, it will take about five days." After speaking, the boss also glanced at Xiao nervously, this lady seems to be very concerned about time, don't let yourself do it because she can't do it, and finally came to such a big order.

"Madam, I forgot to introduce, my surname is Liu, and everyone calls me Carpenter Liu." The boss introduced himself in hindsight. "The girl will come to inspect the goods in six days."

After saying this, Carpenter Liu looked at Xiao lightly without saying anything.

Although it can be seen that this lady doesn't care about money, it is better to explain the matter of money in person, but how can he open his mouth.

Looking at Carpenter Liu's appearance, Xiao lightly felt a little funny.

From the moment she entered the door, she also saw that this boss was a non-businessman. Probably because the carpenter shop in the town is his family, he survives.

If there is an opponent who knows how to market and has the means, this carpenter shop will definitely have no customers.

"Boss Liu, this is my deposit, you have to use the best wood for me." Xiao gently took out ten gold coins and put them on the counter.

Ten gold coins? He had never seen so much money in his life. It seems that he is thinking too much.

"Madam, you don't need so much, do you have any silver coins on you, ordinary people make a cabinet, but a silver coin, to make the wood of these two objects, I estimate that the most is the wood of two cabinets, plus my manual fee, just charge you three silver coins." Boss Liu is not a greedy person, he adheres to his own principles, never takes more than a penny from guests, and has an excellent reputation.

This is also the reason why Lao Wang of East Street went bankrupt before him.

She really didn't have the habit of carrying silver coins when she went out, and occasionally there were a few copper coins, which were also drawn to her by Xiao Baozi from nowhere.

"I don't have any silver coins with me, or I'll pay you a gold coin." Xiao said softly.

"Madam, generally those who make furniture here, they pay half of the deposit first, and then pay the other half when they inspect the goods, or Mrs. brings change when they inspect the goods, and then pay them together." Knowing that it was impossible for the lady in front of him to cheat him out of his money, he didn't bother with it, he just ...... Thinking that the rice jar at home is already empty, it should be possible to boil it for another five or six days, right?

"Daddy, it's not good—" At this time, a half-sized man rushed in in a hurry.

"Wild goose? What's wrong. Carpenter Liu asked. It seemed that he was taking care of Xiao lightly in the store, and his face was a little uncomfortable.

"My milk, my milk, she has a fever-" The child who was called a goose was anxious, and he didn't know what to do.

This? That's how it can be good. Carpenter Liu looked at the gold coins on the counter that had not yet been gently taken back by Xiao, and then looked at the drawings that had just arrived, and he really wished that this business had been completed.

He Liu carpenter has a wife and children, and although his mother is a little old, her legs and feet are still convenient.

When this person is old, he is prone to headaches and brain fever, and his mother is not bad and not very sick.

"Go to the doctor—" Even if the family is in dire straits, my mother's illness is a big deal.

"But Daddy, our family doesn't even have the money to buy rice." Yan'er said, and it could be seen that he was worried about his grandmother.

"I know a little bit about medical skills, why don't Boss Liu let me show Ling Zun." Xiao gently recommended himself. These days, free consultations, Xiao Qing enjoys this kind of helping people.

"Okay, okay." This lady is dressed in extraordinary clothes at first glance, and she knows how to see a doctor, so she must not be a lie.

It doesn't matter what business or anything is going on, what matters is his mother's illness.

The geese lead the way in front.

The carpenter's shop is a shop facing the street, with a courtyard at the back, like a courtyard house, and their family is crammed into this small courtyard.

The main house has only three rooms, with the living room in the middle and the bedrooms on either side. The room next to the main landlord is for Carpenter Zhang's mother, and the room to the west of the main house is for Carpenter Liu and his mother-in-law.

There is a wing room in the east and west, and the space is small, and there is only one house. The east wing is a firewood room, and the west wing is for Yan'er to live.

When I came to Carpenter Liu's mother's room, the overall space of the room was not large, there was a bed, a table, two chairs, and a cabinet for clothes in the room.

Probably because he was born as a carpenter for generations, the furniture and chairs in the room are very finely made, and even a pattern on the chair is lifelike.

On the bed lay a kind old man with his eyes closed and his face flushed, which was a symptom of fever.

There was a woman beside the bed, constantly changing the veil for the old man on the bed. When he heard the footsteps, he didn't look up, so he spoke first: "The boss, has the doctor called?" ”

She asked Yan'er to find her father-in-law, because she was afraid that there would be no money, and Yan'er was a child, and there was no way to find a doctor.

"Excuse me, let me give this mother-in-law a pulse." Xiao gently came to the bedside and carefully checked the old man's pulse.

Carpenter Liu's mother-in-law looked at her father-in-law with questioning eyes, why didn't she invite Langzhong? For fear of disturbing her mother-in-law's rest, she didn't ask.

"This disease is not big, it is not small, it is malnutrition, and there is some cold, I will write a prescription, I will catch some medicine later, and give it to the old lady to eat, and this medicine will be taken every day in the future." After all, the old man is old, and his body is naturally not as good as that of the young man, so he must take care of it. Xiao said softly.

In a rich family, this is really not a disease, take care of it, maybe you can live for three and a half more years, but if you put it in a poor family, it is a big fate to live for one more year

He also knew that he had to take good care of his mother, but the family was stretched thin, and he couldn't even afford rice, so it was good to be able to eat well.

"This lady, can I lend you a gold coin first, go and catch the medicine first, and pay you back the rest of the money after catching the medicine, and use carpenter work to pay for the rest." Carpenter Liu finally opened this mouth, and they also have the rules of this industry, and they all wait until the work is done before collecting money.

The medicinal materials on the prescription are not cheap at first glance, and he is not sure how much life this lady can give himself, so if he does this, there is some suspicion of forced buying and selling. This is still the money for a medicine, what should I do with the money for medicine in the future?
