45 weeks carpenter
Uncle Lao Zhu shook his head and sighed: "What a pity? I'm afraid you don't know that back then, after the Lao Gen family drove the Taoist priest out of the door, the old village chief regretted it for several days!
"And this?" Aunt Wang couldn't help but be surprised.
Speaking of the old village chief, no one in Xinghua Village does not give a thumbs up, when the old village chief was young, he wandered outside for twenty or thirty years before returning to Xinghua Village, and once he returned to the village, he would kill the big insects in the village, which shocked many villagers at that time.
Many people suspected that the old village chief must be an admirable martial artist, but the old village chief shook his head and said, "In the eyes of those martial artists, my ability is not worth mentioning at all. ”
Although many people are still skeptical, since then, the old village chief has done a lot of practical things for Xinghua Village in the years when he served as the head of Xinghua Village, and the village is getting better and better day by day.
In terms of vision, none of them are better than the old village chief.
Even the old village chief felt sorry for Niu Laogen's family for driving away the Taoist priest, which showed that the Taoist priest was really capable nine times out of ten.
For a while, several people on the ox cart were silent, Aunt Wang was silent, looking at Niu Dali with some sympathy and regret, and the other two women showed the same expression.
Everyone knows what life Niu Dali lived in the Niu family, if Niu Dali went with the Taoist priest back then, maybe he is a capable figure now.
Niu Dali listened to Uncle Zhu's words, and an idea suddenly sprouted in his mind, and the corners of his mouth gradually hooked up an imperceptible smile.
He doesn't care if the mysterious Taoist priest has real skills, what he cares about is that he seems to be able to use this mysterious Taoist priest to help him carry the black pot in the future.
After saying nothing all the way, they soon arrived at the entrance of the village, and everyone got out of the car and went home.
After Niu Dali's family thanked Uncle Lao Gen, they returned home.
Li Xianglan and the eldest girl, the second girl began to work inside and out, sorting out the things they bought, Niu Dali hung the bow and arrow on the wall of the main house, looked at the sky was still early, and said: "Xianglan, I will go to Uncle Zhou's and ask him to help us make some furniture." ”
"Do you have some silver?" said Li Xianglan.
"Bring it!" Niu replied vigorously and walked towards the east end of the village.
Carpenter Zhou lives in the east of the village, the distance is not far, but it is not close, and after walking for a while, he came to Carpenter Zhou's house.
Carpenter Zhou is the best carpenter master in the village, and he and his wife are the only two in the family, with no children and no daughters.
Many people in the village saw this and wanted to send their sons and grandsons to Zhou Carpenter as his godson, so that they could also learn a good craft from Zhou Carpenter to defend themselves.
But Carpenter Zhou didn't accept anything, even if it was a nephew with his relatives, he confiscated it, saying that he disliked the child too much.
Looking at a courtyard with a wooden fence, there were two vegetable patches with green vegetables growing on the vegetable fields, and a woman in her forties was picking vegetables, and beside the woman there was an old man with silver hair sawing wood.
The silver-haired old man was Zhou Carpenter, and the woman's family name was Huang, and she later married Zhou Carpenter, and was called Zhou Huang by the villagers.
Seriously, in fact, Niu Dali longs for this comfortable and warm life.
Chopping wood, feeding chickens, only caring about food and vegetables, accompanied by his wife and daughter, in general, life is not only about fighting and killing, blindly pursuing the so-called peak, but also the golden wheat field and the distance.
"Uncle!" Niu Dali shouted to the two people in the courtyard.
The old man who was sawing wood raised his head, although the years had ruthlessly carved deep wrinkles on his face, but those bright eyes looked particularly energetic.
"Dali, why are you here?" Zhou Huang hurriedly opened the door and invited Niu Dali in, "Come in and sit?"
"No need aunt! I'll go back after I finish speaking, Xianglan has already cooked rice and is waiting for me to go back to eat!" Niu Dali smiled and said what he wanted to do with furniture.
Carpenter Zhou pondered slightly, "Tables and chairs, in two days, I will send them to your house, but the wardrobe and bed will take a few days!"
"Don't, uncle, I'll take the tables and chairs? Niu Dali said.
"That's fine!!" Carpenter Zhou nodded.
"Uncle, you take this money!" Niu Dali hurriedly stuffed Uncle Zhou with a tael of silver.
"Don't you need so much?" Carpenter Zhou wanted to postpone it, but Niu Dali didn't give him a chance at all, so he turned around and left, not forgetting to say, "Uncle, in two days, I'll come over to get tables and chairs."
"Dali, this kid?" said Carpenter Zhou, shaking his head.
"Dali is a good boy!" Zhou Huang sighed, "It's just that the family heard that Dali didn't live long, so they actually divided the Dali family! A good child was ruined by them like this? Hey, what should Xianglan and the two children do in the future?"
Carpenter Zhou was silent for a long time and said, "Let's help in the future!"
Early the next morning, Niu Dali began to build a chicken shed, Li Xianglan and the eldest girl were busy with breakfast in the kitchen, and the little girl was chasing the five big hens, having a good time, and from time to time you could hear the second girl giggling laughter.
Originally, he planned to let the two children sleep a little longer, but the eldest girl and the second girl said that they couldn't sleep.
After many years of habit of getting up early, it is really not easy to change it immediately, and Niu Dali can only let the two girls of the eldest and second girls.
"Daddy, why don't you say our big hen lays eggs?" said Erya depressedly.
Niu Dali laughed.
The hens that can lay eggs, can Mrs. Qian still give them?
"There will be eggs in a few days!Erya, do you want to eat eggs?"
"I don't want to!" Erya shook her head and said, "I don't eat eggs, my mother said, eggs can hatch chicks, and after chicks are raised, they can give birth to a lot of eggs, and eggs hatch a lot of chicks, and after a lot of chicks are raised, they give birth to a lot of eggs." I'll have an endless supply of eggs in the future!"
Erya crossed her waist with her hands, and looked happy and proud, as if there were thousands of hens in front of her that could lay eggs.
The corners of Niu Dali's mouth twitched, this is really an aspiring ideal?!
Another day passed.
Noon.
Niu Dali took the tables and chairs made by the carpenter last week.
"Dali, why don't you learn to be a carpenter from your uncle!
Niu Dali didn't expect that Carpenter Zhou, who never accepted apprentices, would let him learn to be a carpenter, but he also knew that this was Carpenter Zhou's kindness.
"Thanks, uncle, I'm going to go up to the mountains to hunt!" Niu vigorously shook his head.
"It's too dangerous to go up the mountain, so it's better to learn to be a carpenter from your uncle. Although a carpenter can't make a lot of money, it's still okay to support his daughter-in-law. Carpenter Zhou persuaded.
"Uncle, it's not that I don't want to learn from you, it's really... You also know my body, I want to practice my uncle's craft, I don't have three or four years, I'm afraid that no one will ask me to be a carpenter!" Niu Dali said.
Carpenter Zhou understood this truth and knew that he couldn't persuade the other party, so he had no choice but to give up.
After Niu Dali said goodbye to Carpenter Zhou, he walked towards his house with the table and chair on his shoulder.
If there is any skill similar to that of a carpenter in the previous life, it should be the skill of craftsmanship.
This is an ancient book that he obtained by accident, introducing how to make some mechanical equipment, which is the crystallization of the wisdom of ancient warriors in the early days, when the Douwu Continent had not yet entered the high-tech era.
However, with the development of science and technology, these ancient tricks were not taken seriously and naturally declined.
At that time, Niu Dali casually looked through a few times, and made a trap bird, all the parts of the trap bird were made of wood, and he thought it was quite simple, so he didn't continue to look at it.
