"They don't want to give them a hair." The old carpenter walked home with his hands behind his back.

"The family background is not good." Lin Shen said.

"The wages I asked for are already very cheap. If you don't even ask for wages, they still have to think about it. Since they can't even afford the wages, what kind of furniture is there?" The old carpenter glanced at Lin Shen and said casually. : "What did your father and Ah Mo tell you?"

Lin Shen was called out before.He looked very bad when he came back.

Lin Yue pointed to his nose and said, "Trash, you can't even do this little thing well."

Mrs. Lin Zhou just cried, crying and said: "Your second sister-in-law's family is not rich, and the meager income was saved from between her teeth. I asked you and your master for help, just to make my own labor cheaper. But your master wants The salary is to drive people to death."

Lin Shen rubbed his nose and said, "It's nothing, just crying poor."

"It doesn't matter whether they like to fight or not, it's best not to fight." The old carpenter said.

If Zhang Xiaoke's natal family was making furniture, Lin Shen would also do free labor for them.

The old carpenter found a piece of paper on the table with a strange pattern on it.

"What is this?" the old carpenter asked curiously.

"Help me look at the blueprint of the bicycle. Is the size I marked correct?" Lin Shen said.

"I've been hearing you talking about bicycles, so bicycles look like this." The old carpenter said.

The old carpenter made some comments, and Lin Shen revised it again.

The furniture was almost done, and Lin Shen started to make bicycles.

For the bicycle tripod, Lin Shen intends to use baked bamboo to make it.He personally went to the mountain to pick the bamboo. This kind of bamboo is so tough that it takes a long time to use a machete.After baking, the bamboo is stronger, and it is not a problem to bear the weight of two or three kilograms.

For the rest, he plans to make it out of wood.There are no rubber tires in this era, and only wood can be used to make tires.

The old carpenter was very interested in bicycles and happily made bicycles with him.

It's much faster to do it with two people, and the wood is placed all over the yard.

Passers-by saw them working in full swing, and asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

Lin Shen said perfunctorily, "Make a piece of furniture."

It took several days to make the tripod alone, because the degree of baking is not easy to master.If the fire is too high, or the baking time is too long, the bamboo will become extremely brittle, and it will not be able to bear heavy loads.

Lin Shen did a lot of experiments before roasting suitable bamboo.

Then it's assembled.

The chain was carved bit by bit by an old carpenter with a knife.

The chain that came out was perfect.

Lin Shen finally understood the reason why those rich people like to hire old carpenters to make furniture.You get what you pay for.Old carpenters are real craftsmen, and the things they make are valuable for collection.

Lin Shen's drawings are very detailed, down to the structure of the chain and pedals, so the process of making the bicycle is also very smooth.

After assembling, Lin Shen rode on with one long leg.

The old carpenter said worriedly: "I have worked so hard, but it will be crushed."

"It's fine if you sit on it." Lin Shen insisted that the old carpenter sit in the back.

The old carpenter sat on it dubiously, for fear of crushing the treasure, he dared not keep his feet off the ground.

Lin Shen pedaled a few times, and the bicycle jogged around the house.

The old carpenter kept saying, "Slow down, slow down."

After turning around, he found that the car was very strong and was not crushed by the two of them, so the old carpenter dared to lift his legs.

Lin Shen smiled and said, "I just said it's fine."

The old carpenter was surprised: "You look very skilled, have you ever ridden before?"

Of course Lin Shen has ridden a bicycle, and has ridden it many times.

But the original owner had never ridden, let alone seen a bicycle.

"I haven't ridden it before. I saw other people riding it, so the drawings were drawn just like that. When riding, don't be afraid to fall off, use your long legs to hit the ground..." Lin Shen put two Putting his legs on the ground, the bicycle stopped steadily. He smiled and said, "Look, how stable it is. It's a pity that the road conditions nearby are not good, otherwise I would have been able to ride around outside."

Seeing how easy it was for Lin Shen to ride, the old carpenter wanted to go up and have a try.As a result, he was almost disabled.His mind told him to put his legs on the ground so he could hold the bike in place so it wouldn't fall like a shit.But his legs didn't listen to him, and he often fell down before he could react.If Lin Shen hadn't been on the side to protect him and grabbed him with quick eyes and hands, his old bones would be finished.

The old carpenter looked shocked: "It's too scary, how can it be as easy as you said?"

Lin Shen was embarrassed to tell him that when riding a bicycle, you have to fall, and you can learn it by falling.The old carpenter was getting old and couldn't bear to be beaten.

"Forget it, I was too slow to react." The old carpenter sighed.he

Looking at the bicycle is greedy, but I can't ride it in a hurry.

The old carpenter likes bicycles very much, and he painted the paint on the back himself.The bike is new and looks like it just came off the assembly line.

Lin He's family came, and Zhang Xiaoke was still holding the child.

Zhang Xiaoke kept his head down, and Lin Shen rarely saw his face.He thought that Zhang Xiaoke was like this, and he didn't take it to heart if he had social phobia or something.

Lin He expressed his intention to come, and Zhang Xiaoke's family reluctantly agreed to the price the old carpenter said before, and then asked them impatiently when they would leave, as if they were afraid they would regret it.

Lin He looked at Lin Shen, and Lin Shen looked at the old carpenter.

The old carpenter said, "Is there a car to pick me up?"

"There is an ox cart. You set a time, and an ox cart will pick you up over there." Lin He said.

"That's fine, let them pick it up tomorrow morning." The old carpenter said.

"I still need someone to pick me up. I think I'm a high-ranking official." Lin He said angrily.

"Keep your voice down, don't let them hear you." Zhang Xiaoke suppressed her voice and glanced back with guilt.

They have gone a long way.

Lin He waved his hands: "They can't hear you."

"Is Zhangjia Village far away?" Lin Shen asked the old carpenter.

"It's not far, it's several miles away. You are willing to go there with a broken leg, but I don't want to. You don't need wages, and you work for them for nothing. What's wrong with asking them to come and pick us up? Look at your second brother. His face, when I asked if there was a car to pick him up, his face was drawn like a donkey's face." The old carpenter pouted.

Lin Shen smiled: "Who wants to walk when there is a car? They should come and pick them up."

Hearing this, the old carpenter smiled with satisfaction: "That's right, they are begging us, not us begging them. They think my asking price is too high, they can hire others, who cares about giving them free labor?"

Lin Shen didn't ask for wages. The old carpenter's wages were not low. It was cheap, but not too much.Zhang Xiaoke and Lin He have not moved in the past few days. They thought that Zhang Xiaoke's natal family was unwilling. Who would have thought that this would come true.
