Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth
Chapter 83 Customizing a Cart from a Carpenter
Carpenter Yu's breathing suddenly became rapid, and he quickly interrupted Gu Yan, "No problem, no problem, I have made a lot of carts, for catching horses, cows, donkeys, mules, all kinds of carts, I can say for sure that no one in the whole county can make a better cart than me."
"Most of the carts in this county town were made by me."
After Carpenter Yu finished speaking confidently, he could not help but straighten his back, feeling slightly proud. He had carved those carts one by one by himself, and he had poured more love and affection into them than any of his own children.
"I wonder which one you want to make?"
Although they are all carts, there are slight differences between different types. This is the experience he has gained from making carts for so many years.
When Carpenter Yu asked this, Gu Yan knew that the deal was a done deal, even though they hadn't discussed the price. "I want to make a donkey cart."
He also secretly inquired about the price of carts in the county town today. It mainly depends on the material, and most of them are more than 1 wen per string.
"Sure. It would take about ten days to make a donkey cart. Do you need it urgently, young master?"
Gu Yan shook his head, "No hurry."
The sick donkey is still being treated, and it's hard to say when it will recover. Although Qingqing said seven or eight days would be enough, even so, it can't be used to work as soon as it's cured. It has to be fully recovered before it can pull the cart.
He took out a blueprint from his backpack and handed it to Carpenter Yu, and asked, "Carpenter Yu, how much money does it cost to build a cart like this?"
Carpenter Yu took the drawing somewhat puzzled, and took a look. Wow, it was a drawing of a cart, but the structural details were more rigorous than those carts he had made before. He estimated that it would be stronger and able to carry more cargo.
He slapped his thigh with joy. Oh, he had been making carts for so many years, why had he never thought of making them like this?
"This cart has a great structure!" Carpenter Yu looked at Gu Yan in surprise, "Young Master Gu, did you draw this cart?"
Although the lines of the cart were simple and neat, with only a few strokes, they clearly expressed the structure and he understood it at a glance.
"Yes, it's me." Gu Yan also admitted generously.
Ever since he bought the donkey, he has been thinking about this cart.
He always felt that the flatbed trucks he had seen before were missing something. After thinking about it for a few days, he finally drew this flatbed truck, which is the one that makes him most satisfied so far.
"Do you think it's possible?"
Carpenter Yu was very satisfied. The young man did not seem to be impatient or proud at all. He did not expect that such a learned man could study the carts and innovate on his own!
Sure enough, the brains of geniuses are different from those of people like them.
Carpenter Yu suppressed his excitement and answered affirmatively, "Young man, this can be done."
"As for the price," he hesitated and paused for a moment, "I have a request, I wonder if you can agree to it?"
Request? Gu Yan was curious, "Carpenter Yu, please speak."
"Your blueprint is very good. I wonder if I can use it to build a cart in the future? Of course, I can charge less for the cart I made for you."
Gu Yan didn't expect that Carpenter Yu was talking about this. It was just a blueprint of a cart. He nodded slightly, "Okay."
"My dear young master, you are very straightforward! I will charge you 800 coins for this cart. What do you think?"
"If there is no problem, then give half of the deposit first, we will sign a contract first, and then give the remaining half after the inspection is completed."
Gu Yan was quite surprised to hear the price of 800 coins. This blueprint looked quite valuable?
Compared with the market price, Carpenter Yu gave him the cart at a discount of several hundred coins.
"Okay. That'll be hard work for the carpenter."
Carpenter Yu waved his hand, and there was only one last problem left: he had no paper or pen at home!
Carpenter Yu was in a bit of a dilemma.
Gu Yan noticed this and asked, "Carpenter Yu, do you have any other concerns?"
Carpenter Yu shook his head, looking somewhat embarrassed, "It's like this, young master, there is no scholar in my family..."
Gu Yan raised the corner of his lips slightly after hearing this. So it was this matter. This was not a big deal at all. "It's okay. I'll go back and draw up a contract today and send it to you tomorrow."
He took out his purse again, took out 400 coins from it and handed it to Carpenter Yu, "I'll give you the deposit first."
He had said before that the money from selling mountain products would be given to Qingqing to manage, so every time he collected the money he gave it directly to Qingqing.
But Qingqing would always give him some money, saying that how could a man go out without money.
That way, he would have money in his pocket so he could pay the deposit directly instead of asking his sister for it.
Carpenter Yu hesitated for a moment, then took it and laughed heartily, "Young Master, aren't you afraid that I will embezzle the deposit?"
Gu Yan also laughed, "I came to you to order a cart because I trust you."
I trust both his craftsmanship and his character.
Carpenter Yu said with some nostalgia, "Okay, okay. You can call me Uncle Yu. I have some friendship with your father."
"Uncle Yu." Gu Yan readily followed suit and felt the closeness of Carpenter Yu from his tone.
"Don't worry, Brother Yan, I will make this cart solid for you."
Gu Yan nodded and smiled, then bowed solemnly, "Uncle Yu, Yan believes in you."
Carpenter Yu waved his hand and said, "Okay, remember to write the deed and bring it here tomorrow."
After leaving Yu's house, Gu Yan went up the mountain carrying a backpack.
The tree stump fence needs to be reinforced as soon as possible. In addition, we should also try to set up the hidden mechanism there.
After Gu Yan left, Gu Qingzhi took out the preserved fruits they had bought at the market, placed them on a clean plate, and placed it on the small square table.
"Mother, let's try this preserved fruit."
Gu Wangshi sat down with a smile, picked up a crisp green plum and started eating it.
Gu Qingzhi first took a persimmon cake, broke it in half, and handed the other half to Gu Wangshi, so that the remaining half could be given to her brother to taste.
She had a plan in mind, so she didn't buy more, but just bought two to try the taste.
The quality of this persimmon cake looked quite ordinary. Gu Qingzhi felt a little disappointed after taking a bite. The taste was very ordinary.
Gu Wangshi frowned as she took a bite. After she finished a few bites, Gu Qingzhi quickly asked, "Mother, how do you feel about this persimmon cake?"
Gu Wang shook her head. "It tastes just average, not as good as Aunt Zhen's."
There was a hint of nostalgia in her tone.
After hearing this, Gu Qingzhi was silent for a moment.
Aunt Zhen, she heard her mother talk about her when she was a child. She was her mother's wet nurse. It was because of her protection that her mother was able to escape here smoothly after being separated from her family.
