Reborn Little Carpenter

Qi Yue took his steps lightly, led Butler Sun into the carpentry room and closed the door, scratching his head, "I'm so sorry, he tends to cry when he doesn't get enough sleep."

Butler Sun nodded to express his understanding, and took out two purses from his arms: "My master knew that Mr. Qi was happy with his son, so he specially asked me to bring a gift for the meeting, so be careful." Two purses, one is from Master Sun, and the other is He sent it.

Qi Yue rubbed his nose in embarrassment: "Then I'll thank you and Master Sun for Zirui." He thought that he only had a business relationship with the Sun family and was afraid of troublesome people, so he didn't send a letter there. I remember that a child was about to be born in his family.

Qi Yue took Steward Sun to see the finished furniture, most of which were made by the two apprentices, Qi Yue drew pictures and occasionally gave pointers, the simplicity is full of atmosphere, and there is a little mystery hidden, it is just right for my brother's dowry.

Steward Sun nodded in satisfaction, and changed the conversation to the new house built outside: "Mr. Qi's house outside looks different, I wonder when it will be built? Then let Sun come to enjoy the joy of housewarming. "

Qi Yue intuitively felt that there was something wrong with this statement, but it is inappropriate to refuse people to attend the housewarming banquet just after taking the meeting gift from someone: "It would be an honor for my family if Steward Sun can come, there are still about twenty days left, and I will be sure when the time comes." notify."

Butler Sun nodded: "I wonder if the husband has any other arrangements after the house is built?"

Qi Yue heard Xian's understanding, and took the initiative to say: "If the Sun family also wants to build a new house, I can ask my father to bring the workers to the county."

Butler Sun said, "Mr. Qi isn't going?"

Qi Yue said straightly: "Of course I will go, but this house was mainly built by my father and his workers, and I just made a few comments."

Butler Sun nodded: "Mr. has always been reassuring in his work."

With this high hat on, how many times would Qi Yue go to Sun's house?

After Steward Sun left, Qi Yue moved closer to Wu Xiaoxi: "Go to the county together tomorrow? You haven't gone out for a long time."

Wu Xiaoxi shook his head: "No, I have to watch Xiaorui."

"Oh," Qi Yue sighed.

Wu Xiaoxi showed him the bamboo in his hand: "Is this okay?"

Qi Yue took it and broke it off: "Yes, just cut it like this."

"Yeah." In fact, Wu Xiaoxi had already shaved a lot according to this hardness. He showed Qi Yue, one to confirm, and the other to divert the topic.Qi Yue can stay at home for several months, but he always feels that Wu Xiaoxi should go out for a walk.

Wu Xiaoxi knows that the head of the family cares about himself, but taking care of Qi Zirui is not as tiring as the head of the family thinks. Zi Rui is very good, and usually has a mother to help him. Doesn't he still have time to peel bamboo?

When Qi Yue came back from the town the next day, Wu Xiaoxi had already cut out a lot of bamboo pieces, and with the umbrella ribs made in between, he successfully made an umbrella stand, and then he went to the paper workshop to find Qi Quancheng take paper.

Qi Quancheng brought him fresh paper that hadn't been cut, and said, "Several groups of people have come and wandered around in the past few nights. I think they probably already know about papermaking."

Qi Yue asked: "Have you been in?"

Qi Quancheng shook his head: "That's not true."

Qi Yue warned: "Be careful yourself, or I will accompany you at night."

Qi Quancheng handed him the paper: "No need, my father is here these days."

Qi Yue nodded: "I'll go to the county seat tomorrow to talk to my second brother."

The next day after Qi Yue came back from the county seat, Qi’s shop started to sell paper. It was [-] renminbi cheaper than what was sold in other shops before. Maybe for those who can afford paper, Four hundred coins is nothing, but who wouldn't want to spend less money?

In the past, there were only two paper sellers in the county, the Li family and the Su family. The prices of the two papers were the same, and they were located on the north and south sides of the county. But now Qijia began to sell paper at a low price, and the four hundred cash short of everything was enough to make people across the entire county to buy it.Lee's.

Li Dangjia sat in front of the desk with polished ink and brushes on the table. After the man bought the paper from Lacquer, Li Dangjia picked up a piece of paper and looked at it carefully. Compared with his paper, the color was yellowish and the hand felt It also needs to be rough, no wonder people are willing to buy it only when the price is lowered.

He spread the paper on the table, picked up the pen and began to write, and after he finished writing a word, he fell into deep thought, then spread the paper from his own house on the side, wrote back and forth on the two pieces of paper, and finally leaned back on the chair and sighed. Take a breath.

The same thing happened in the Su family, even though they didn't want to admit it, but for writing, the Qi family's paper absorbs ink faster than their family's paper, and is more suitable for writing.

The Li family and the Sun family have not acted yet. More and more people go to Qi’s shop to buy paper, but fewer people go to their two families. After a few days, the price of Qi’s paper has not increased. Seeing that the paper in the shop If it can't be sold, even if they are reluctant to part with all the profits of several hundred yuan, Li and Su's family have no choice but to lower the price together.

Even his two families dropped fifty cents more, and finally snatched the customer back. Just when the two families had just given away, Qijia's paper sold for one, two or three, which was 150 cheaper than the two after the price reduction. , The angry two Patriarchs almost broke the writing brush in their hands.

During the commercial war in the county, Qi Yue was building an oil press in the old house. The oil press he built was not for squeezing edible oil, but for squeezing tung oil.

He used to buy tung oil for brushing furniture, which is a good thing, his work is almost inseparable, and now he is starting to make oiled paper, oiled paper umbrellas, more and more tung oil is needed, every time When I go out to buy, and not every time, the more I run, the more Qi Yue feels that it is better to extract it by myself.

Squeezing tung oil requires a stove to dry out the water in the tung seeds. Later, the stove has to be used to steam the tung seeds powder. Qi Yue also went to the county town to order a large stone mill for grinding the powder. By the way, Qi Quanmin helped him collect the tung seeds.

Then he started to make an oil press, found an old pine with a diameter of one meter and began to dig an oil tank.

While Qi Yue was doing his work in the yard, a dark-skinned middle-aged man in his forties with wrinkles on his forehead stood at the door, coughed, and asked aloud: "Uncle Qi, Xiao Lei Said you were looking for me?"

Hearing what he said, Qi Yue knew who it was. He put down the hammer and chisel, and patted the sawdust on his hands: "Xiao Lei's eldest brother, right? Come in and sit." Then he shouted: "Xiao Lei, your elder brother is here. Pour your brother a cup of tea."

"Here we come," Qi Xiaolei ran out of the carpentry room, greeted Qi Dakuan and went to pour him tea.

Qi Dakuan rubbed his hands cautiously, and walked in.

Qi Yue washed his hands and greeted him into the main room: "Thank you for making a trip, I asked Xiaolei to bring you a message, I wonder if he made it clear?"

Qi Dakuan nodded.

Qi Yue asked: "Then what do you mean?"

"This..." Qi Xiaolei came in with tea, seeing his hesitation, desperately said to him: Yes.

Qi Yue looked at him amusedly: "Xiao Lei, go out first and let me discuss with your elder brother."

"Oh," Qi Xiaolei had no choice but to put the tea on the table, and struggled to make a 'willing' mouth before leaving.

Seeing the smile in Qi Yue's eyes, Qi Dakuan scratched his head in embarrassment.

Qi Yue said: "You don't have to worry about it. I know that you brothers have a good relationship. They say that elder brothers are like fathers. Xiaolei misses you in his heart. Otherwise, I wouldn't let Xiaolei find you. You don't have to be there every day , if there is something at home, I can take care of the house first, as long as I can have oil when I need it."

Qi Dakuan held the cup and said in confusion, "But I don't know how to extract oil."

"I will teach you when the oil mill is built, but I can't pay you until the oil is squeezed out. After you can squeeze out the oil yourself, you will be paid at fifty renminbi a day."

Qi Dakuan pondered for a while: "Then Xiaolei said before that my two younger brothers can also come?"

Qi Yue nodded: "The job of squeezing oil is not easy, if they want to come, they can all come, and it's only fifty dollars a day."

"I'd like to come, but I have to go back and ask them about it." Qi Dakuan said with some embarrassment. After all, although he is the eldest brother, his younger brothers have already married, so it's not easy to be their master.

Qi Yue understood: "Then you give me an answer as soon as possible, if you don't want to, I'll find someone else."

"Definitely," Qi Dakuan stood up, "Then I won't disturb my uncle."

As soon as Qi Dakuan went out, Qi Xiaolei chased him out, and came back after a while smiling.

Qi Yue glanced at him: "So happy?"

Qi Xiaolei saw Master's serious face, and hurriedly went over to squeeze his arm, flattering him, saying: "Master is the best, I like Master the most."

"Okay," Qi Yue shook his arms, unable to contain the angry expression on his face, and said pretending to be disgusted, "I will play tricks."

Qi Xiaolei raised his hand: "Heaven and earth can learn from each other."

Qi Yue snorted, turned around and continued working.

Qi Xiaolei shook his head helplessly behind him, and sighed in his heart: Master is right, master is really jealous.

Unexpectedly, Qi Yue suddenly turned his head and glared at him, making him shiver in fright.Fortunately, Qi Yue only said one sentence: "What are you still doing here? Go to work."

"Okay!" Qi Xiaolei breathed a sigh of relief, agreed quickly, and then ran into the carpentry workshop.

In a few days, Qiyue's oil press was finally ready, and Tongzi was also received. Qi Dakuan and his two younger brothers were willing to come to help squeeze the oil, and through Qi Yougen, they invited two honest men from the village to join them. , barely enough people, the oil mill began to squeeze oil.

At the same time, the carpentry workshop that has been under construction has almost been built, and its shape gradually emerged. More and more people came to see it, and even a few people who were going to build a new house this year came to find Qi Yougen to let him Go help yourself build.

Qi Yougen was troubled when he mentioned this matter to Qi Yue: "There are already three or four houses, and I would like to bring people to build them, but you promised Master Sun before, and the craftsmen feel that going to the county town can earn money. They must earn more than those in the village, and they all want to go to Sun's house."

Qi Yue gave his father a suggestion, to organize the people, and then his family will be responsible for picking up the work, and then take the people out to work, and the rest of the people will get their wages from Qi Yougen, and they will be arranged by Qi Yougen. right there.

After all, those who asked them to build a house were because they thought Qi Yougen’s newly built house was beautiful, comfortable to look at, and they wanted it. Otherwise, it would be fine to just find someone who can build a house to help. Why do they have to come to the door every day to block paint? have roots.

Presumably those craftsmen would be able to figure this out as long as they were a little more clear-headed. What Qi Yougen had to do was to ensure that the work in the village and the county town would cost about the same.
