Chapter 6 Mountains of Ancient Furniture from Ming and Qing Dynasties
The most indispensable thing in the second-hand goods station is all kinds of old furniture, and they are all broken furniture.

These broken and old furniture are put in the junk shop, and they are either sold as firewood or given to employees as welfare, and more are piled up where no one cares.

A piece of intact Ming and Qing antique furniture, sent to a cultural relics store, is worth seven or eight or ten yuan.

How much profit will this idea create for the junk shop?
In the past, the second-hand goods station also thought about finding a carpenter to repair it, and put it in the cultural relics store to sell at a high price.

But the problem is that ordinary carpenters can't repair these Ming and Qing ancient furniture.

They can't afford a carpenter who knows ancient furniture in Ming and Qing Dynasties and can repair it.

Therefore, the proposal has been delayed indefinitely.

Wang Bin sincerely thanked his mother, who was so wise that he actually picked up a wild wood artist.

If he can invite Zhang Junping to the junk shop, repair the damaged Ming and Qing furniture, and increase the income of the station, this is a real achievement.

Especially now at the critical moment of competition for webmasters.

If anyone can greatly increase the income in the station, it cannot be said that one hit will win, but it can also increase the chance of winning a lot.

Now, let alone a big one, even if there is even the slightest chance of winning, they will put in 100% effort.

Wang Bin asked for leave yesterday and asked his mother to lead him to Dashilar to find Zhang Junping.

As a result, Zhang Junping did not come because he made an easy chair for the old lady.

Let Wang Bin flutter in the air.

Today, Wang Bin, who was not reconciled, came to Dashilar to look for Zhang Junping.

The hard work paid off, and finally let him find it.

Unfortunately, Wang Bin didn't know that, in Zhang Junping's heart, he also attached great importance to repairing furniture at the junk shop.

If it weren't for the purpose of raising his worth, Zhang Junping would have liked to throw away the folding chair and follow Wang Bin to the junk shop.

What's not worth the money, does it matter?
important!

But compared with the opportunity to have zero-distance contact with many ancient Ming and Qing furniture, and the opportunity to communicate across time and space between craftsmen in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, everything is not important!
Of course, Zhang Junping is more greedy, and he wants the opportunity to get in touch with the ancient furniture of Ming and Qing Dynasties, as well as money.

That's why he planned to stretch Wang Bin on the grounds that the folding chairs were sold out.

As a result, he did not expect that folding chairs would be so popular.

However, no matter what, his goal of stretching Wang Bin was achieved.

"Master Zhang, thank you! If it weren't for you, I would be miserable today!" Wang Bin wiped the sweat from his forehead and thanked Zhang Junping.

"It's alright, it's alright! What happened to the repairing of the ancient furniture in the Ming and Qing Dynasties that the eldest brother said just now?" Zhang Junping took the initiative to mention the matter of repairing the furniture.

"Master Zhang, I'm the deputy head of the junk shop, we have a lot of the kind of wood you took from my house the day before yesterday!

As long as you go and repair the furniture for us, I can call the shots and give them all to you!

In addition, you can also give you a certain maintenance fee! "Wang Bin quickly introduced himself, and said the conditions he thought about yesterday.

"En!" Zhang Junping nodded, but did not speak.

Even if Wang Bin didn't talk about precious wood, Zhang Junping would go.

The temptation to repair Ming and Qing ancient furniture is much greater than that of red sandalwood and Hainan huanghuali.

Again, the most important thing for a craftsman is the craft, not the material.

Good material is just the icing on the cake.

"Master Zhang, you see that this folding chair is sold out. Shall we go to the junk shop now?" Wang Bin looked at Zhang Junping with some trepidation.

I don't know what the word 'um' means by Zhang Junping.

"If Mr. Zhang is dissatisfied with the maintenance fee, just mention it! We will try our best to satisfy it!"

"Master Wang, shall we go to see the furniture that needs to be repaired first? Then we will talk about the maintenance cost?" Zhang Junping said directly.

"Uh, good! I'll take you to see it!
We receive a lot of old furniture every day, some of which can be directly used as firewood, and some of them can still be used after repairing!

The purpose of our second-hand goods station is to turn waste into treasure, save resources, and contribute to the realization of the four modernizations!

If Master Xiao Zhang can repair those Ming and Qing ancient furniture, it can be considered as a contribution to the four modernizations! "Wang Bin said with great joy.

"Okay, then let's now... Then wait a moment!" Zhang Junping was about to say that he would leave now.

He turned his head and saw a little boy standing by the side of the road.

Looking straight at him.

He didn't come yesterday, not only did Wang Bin flutter, but he also released the little boy's pigeon.

This made Zhang Junping somewhat guilty.

Zhang Junping waved to the little boy.

"Big brother, are you here? I thought you weren't here again today!" The little boy saw Zhang Junping beckoning and ran over to talk to Zhang Junping.

"Yesterday, big brother had something to do, so he didn't come!
I missed the appointment!
In this way, as compensation, this little rabbit will be given to you! "Zhang Junping took out a wooden carved rabbit from his bag with a smirk and handed it to the little boy.

This little boy is a bit like his nephew in his previous life. His favorite thing to do is to tease his nephew.

The little boy looked at Zhang Junping aggrieved.

People are boys!

Boys play with guns if they want to play. If they want a bunny, that's something that girls only play with.

"Okay! Stop teasing you!
Here's this gun for you! "Looking at the little boy who was about to cry, Zhang Junping rubbed the little boy's head with a smile, and replaced the gift with a shell gun.

"Thank you big brother!" The little boy showed a happy smile.

"You're welcome!" Zhang Junping rubbed the little boy's head again, then turned to Wang Bin and said, "Master Wang, let's go!"

There is no need to drive Route 11 to go to the junk shop. Wang Bin has a bicycle.

Camel Zhang Junping to the second-hand goods station.

········
Looking at the old furniture piled up like a mountain, Zhang Junping opened his eyes wide in shock, opened his mouth, and was speechless for a while.

It's so spectacular!

It's just that this is too bad!

Ancient furniture from Ming and Qing Dynasties, regarded as treasures in later generations, are piled together like garbage.

Looking at it, eight screens, bookcases, cabinets, Luohan beds, canopy beds, and carved doors and windows are all piled up in a disorderly manner.

It's just a waste of money!
If these historians saw this, they would definitely shout, this is a crime!
But this is the reality!
Antiques are really worthless in this day and age!

Zhang Junping once read a document, saying that in the 80s, in the cultural relics store, antiques from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China were piled up in piles in the warehouse.

The country does not allow destruction, and no one wants it!

It can only be piled there to get moldy.

"Master Zhang, these are old furniture collected from the station!

How to fix it, you are an expert, you have the final say!
About Xiao Zhang's remuneration!
I have two plans here, one is that we calculate it on a daily basis, with a salary of three yuan a day, and I will give you a pound of food stamps and one or two meat stamps!
The other one is paid by the piece, and the cost of repairing a piece of furniture is calculated according to two yuan.

If Master Xiao Zhang has other ideas, you can also bring them up, and we can discuss them later! "Wang Bin was very polite to Zhang Junping, and the conditions he gave were quite generous.

The second-hand goods station, don't look at it is a state-run waste collection station.

However, as a commercial unit under the supply and marketing system, it is also a unit with deep pockets.

A salary of three yuan a day is 90 yuan a month. In this era, it is definitely a high salary.

To put it bluntly, the monthly income of later generations is more than [-], which is far less comfortable than the monthly salary of [-] in this era.

No matter what era it is, people with real skills will be especially respected.

If it is the predecessor of this body, it is estimated that it will agree to meet such good conditions.

However, Zhang Junping was the master who had eaten and seen it, so naturally he would not be fascinated by Wang Bin's rich conditions.

He wants more!

Of course, his craftsmanship is also worth more!
"Master Wang, the two conditions given are good.

but.

I feel that no matter which condition it is, it is not fair enough to both parties! "

"Is the piece rate unfair?"

"Master Wang, the piece rate is supposed to be fair to both you and me, but you have overlooked a problem!
Furniture repair is not standardized production in factory mode!
There is a fixed standard for production in factory mode!
There is no problem with such a piece rate!

But what about our furniture repairs?
For example, a chair and a bed, or compared with a desk, the workload is naturally different!
Also, their degree of damage is not the same, so the workload is naturally different!
These are all questions to consider! "

"Then what does Master Zhang mean?"

"Master Wang, I see this!
Today, let's first divide the furniture into categories!

I set the maintenance price of each piece of furniture according to the classification.

Webmaster Wang feels that the price is good and the value of maintenance, so let's repair it!

If it doesn't feel right, then forget it!
You can also choose which ones to repair and which not to repair according to the price! "Zhang Junping pondered for a while, and said his plan.

Wang Bin thought about it and felt that Zhang Junping's plan was okay and fair, so he nodded, "No problem, just follow Master Zhang's wishes!"

After negotiating the price, Zhang Junping didn't hesitate and started working directly.

There are so many old furniture that Zhang Junping alone could not finish it in two days.

Wang Bin thoughtfully sent two staff members to help.

Zhang Junping directed the two staff members sent by stationmaster Wang to classify the messy piles of furniture.

So many furniture, naturally not all old furniture.

Even for the ancient furniture of Ming and Qing Dynasties, it is impossible to use all the materials such as Hainan huanghuali, lobular red sandalwood, and golden nanmu.

These three kinds of wood, known as the three major tribute woods, have the title of royal wood.

In some periods, these three kinds of wood were simply monopolized by the royal family, sold and hoarded by the people, and were directly punished as the crime of overcontrol.

The crime of overstepping the rules was a serious crime in ancient times.

Therefore, it is definitely a misunderstanding to equate the ancient furniture of Ming and Qing Dynasties with Hainan huanghuali, lobular red sandalwood and golden nanmu.

Ming and Qing antique furniture, more wenge, beech, elm, walnut, cherry, and lower-level pine and cypress furniture.
