Zhang Yaowei wanted to scold him, but when he saw the people around Shui Wang, his eldest brother, he swallowed the dirty words back.

The three of them went to the carpenter's house together.

This is the only carpenter in their village, and although it is not rich, it is not poor. It's just that it's basically idle now.

In the past, who in the village didn't want to greet him when they got married?

Make cabinets, tables, chairs, beds, and even doors and windows, etc.

But now, some people don't need wooden doors and windows to build buildings.

"Uncle Tian, I heard that the desk has been prepared." Zhang Yaohua said hello.

A middle-aged and elderly man with half-white hair was smoking a hookah in the house, and when he saw that it was Zhang Yaohua, he quickly put down the hookah.

"It's Andy! Desks, computer desks, and chairs are all over there. ”

Because it was custom-made, the style was provided by Zhang Yaohua, he had not done it before, and he was worried that Zhang Yaohua would not be satisfied, so the speed was slower.

Zhang Yaohua likes solid wood furniture.

He checked it out and was satisfied.

The tables and chairs are made of chestnut wood, which has a beautiful wood grain, and is also strong and durable, and it is not easy to get dirty.

Whether it is Zhang Yuanhang's desk, Zhang Yaohua's computer desk, or a chair, the workmanship is very fine, and it can be seen that it has worked hard.

"How? Do you still need to change it? ”

Zhang Yaohua shook his head: "No, it's good." Uncle Tian, your skills are really good. ”

This compliment can make the old carpenter happy.

His family can barely be regarded as well-off, and he can retire completely. But he only has such a hobby left, and he can't be idle at all, and he still shaving planks all day long.

It's not just him, almost all the older generation, they can't be idle.

Once they are allowed to relax, this pain, that pain, the outbreak of old problems all over the body. In the countryside, even an eighty-year-old grandmother still drums her vegetable garden, watering, weeding, and so on.

Since the village gradually modernized, his presence has become less and less.

Everyone's doors and windows began to use metal, the stools were made of plastic stools, the dining table was no longer the previous Eight Immortals table, and the sofa was also bought from the outside, which made him feel that he was useless as a hero.

Now, can you not be happy to hear other people's compliments again?

"I'm old, I can't do it, I can't keep up with the trend." Uncle Tian smiled and waved his hand.

The latter sentence was told to him by his granddaughter.

Zhang Yaohua told him: "This desk and computer desk are the trend. The so-called trend is actually just a style, which is not difficult for you Uncle Tian. ”

It can be seen that Uncle Tian loves this craft and is reluctant to lose it.

It's just that a lot of furniture can now be produced in factories, and it no longer needs to be made by hand. Old craftsmen like them will naturally be gradually eliminated.

"Trends are styles?" Uncle Tian was stunned and quickly understood.

"Hmmm! It seems that this is the reason. However, now no one needs it. He continued.

Zhang Yaohua shook his head and came up with an idea: "It's not that you don't need it, some people like handmade." Uncle Tian, you can try to let Gillian take orders online and specialize in high-end goods. ”

Low-end goods must not be able to compete with other furniture factories.

He knows that many traditional handicraft industries are not easy to mix, and under the impact of modern industry, they are completely beaten to the point of being powerless.

Some craftsmen have no choice but to transform.

There are also some craftsmen who follow the trend and combine the Internet and other means to fight their way out.

"Taking orders online? Is it reliable? Uncle Tian was a little moved.

Zhang Yaohua said honestly: "It's not necessarily reliable, but there is no loss in giving it a try, in case you become famous, Uncle Tian, you can't do it at all." ”

"Okay, I'll ask my Gillian."

Gillian is his granddaughter and a college student.

As Zhang Yaohua, a well-known college student in the village, Uncle Tian believed in him.

It doesn't matter how much money he makes, the main thing is that he still wants to give full play to his spare heat.

And Zhang Yaohua also saw that he was not convinced of the old, so he came up with such an idea. In addition, Uncle Tian's craftsmanship is really good, just look at the carving of that stool.

Excellent craftsmanship represents word of mouth.

While chatting, Uncle Tian's grandson came back with something similar to a pineapple.

"You can't eat this thing, why are you cutting it back?" Shui Wang was curious.

"Brother Shui Wang, you don't understand, do you? I've heard people say that it's expensive to make a bracelet. The boy whispered, as if he had mastered the wealth code.

"Make a bracelet? Who do you listen to nonsense? Shui Wang didn't believe it.

Isn't it a sea pineapple?

It looks like a pineapple, but it doesn't smell like a pineapple at all, it's dry, like wood.

He hadn't heard that this thing could be made into a bracelet.

At this moment, Zhang Yaohua spoke: "It's not nonsense, some people do make bracelets and sell them, and the price was once very high." ”

Yes?

Shui Wang and Zhang Yaowei stared wide-eyed.

And this kind of thing?

Say it early!

"Na! Didn't lie to you, did you? Brother Hua still knows more. ”

Zhang Yaohua smiled: "Don't be too happy, I want to say that you have missed the outlet." The time when it is truly valuable has passed, and it may not be necessary to give it away now. ”

This time, it was Tian Cunhao's turn to be dumbfounded.

Just thought that he had mastered the wealth code and was about to get rich, so he was doused with a basin of cold water.

"Won't it?"

"What wouldn't be? At first, this thing was said to be a blood lotus Bodhi, and it was generally used to make pendants, beads, and ears. For decoration, some large ones can also be made into pieces similar to walnuts, and they can be played in their hands. ”

As he spoke, Zhang Yaohua buckled a piece of the sea pineapple, put it in the palm of his hand, and said, "Look, does this shape look like a Buddha lotus?"

As long as you play with it for a while, it will turn red, so it is called a blood lotus.

When someone first figured it out, I heard that it scared a lot of people, and it was very pleasing. At that time, a string of blood lotus flowers was fried to two or three hundred thousand yuan.

However, when everyone learned that this thing was the seed of the sea pineapple, it fell to the altar in an instant, and it was worthless. ”

The reason why it is expensive is, on the one hand, the novelty of this thing; On the other hand, it looks mysterious, and everyone thinks that this thing is rare.

And for the sake of hype, the merchant keeps it secret and avoids talking about the origin of this thing.

When it was exposed, the blood-dripping lotus Bodhi was made of sea pineapple, which was found in many places along the southeast coast, and it was not scarce, and it immediately ripped off its mystery, and the price plummeted.

When Zhang Yaohua saw the relevant information, this thing was no longer valuable, otherwise he would have come back to chop sea pineapples, what kind of work would he have attended?

At that time, he was also extremely depressed and did not catch the ride to get rich.

Zhang Yaowei, Shui Wang and Tian Cunhao said in their hearts almost at the same time: I haven't gotten in the car yet!

All three of them have missed the feeling of 100 million.

"It's a pity."

"Yes! Eating can't catch up with the heat. Zhang Yaowei nodded.

"Hot? I'll pull it for you, do you want it? Shui Wang said with a smile.

"Get out!"
