The ancient life of a master craftsman

Li Enbai held the magnolia hairpin in his hand and stroked it carefully, using his fingers to feel if there were any burrs on it. After he couldn't feel any burrs, he casually put the magnolia hairpin aside.

Click on the system interface and take a look. After a mission is over, his carpentry level is still at level zero, and he is still 15 experience points away from leveling up. The total experience value of the system... Well, you can tell without looking, it is still bright red and dazzling red.

Li Enbai sighed, still need to work hard.

Looking at the sky outside, it was getting dark, and it was not time to rest, so he moved a bit, thought for a while, took out a small piece of peach wood, and began to carve seriously.

This time he finished it very quickly. It took an hour and a half from sketching the lines to carving the details to polishing the roundness, and a vivid pear blossom bloomed in his hands.

"Tsk, it would be great if it could be painted..." Li Enbai frowned dissatisfied.

What he wanted to do was white pear blossoms, not the log-colored ones, which seemed to lack a bit of beauty.

'Reminder: upgrade to the first level of carpentry, you can get a dye. '

'Level [-]... I see. Li Enbai put the pear flower hairpin into the system space, and carved the remaining peach wood again.

A piece of peach wood [-] centimeters long was made by him into eight flower hairpins of different shapes, but he carved them very vividly. If it could be painted with color, it would make people feel like there was a real flower on their head.

And the carpenter's experience bar has also gone from five to thirteen, and there is still 7 experience points left, and he can get the dye, and with the dye, he can color the wooden hairpin.

But now he has used up all the wood in his hand, and he can't use it immediately if he chops it temporarily. It seems that he has to go to the carpenter in the village to buy some.

He sold the clothes with a total of ten taels of silver, and now he has spent about one tael, and he has to leave about five taels for the settlement, so only four taels of silver are left.

And he can't live in Yun's house all the time, and he has to find a house to buy or rent it first, which probably costs about two taels of silver...

He is very tight on money and needs to earn money as soon as possible.

Four days later, there will be a big fair, so he needs to save up some more products, and then set up a small stall, and he will probably make a fortune.

"Wood..." Li Enbai thought for a while, then left the room and came to the main room.

He originally wanted to see if there was anyone in the main room, but Old Man Yun was sitting at the table in the main room, with his shoulders slumped and a sad expression on his face.

Li Enbai remembered the wine he bought during the day, turned back and took out the wine, "Uncle Yun, Linfeng bought a jug of wine, I wonder if Uncle Yun is free to drink with Linfeng?"

Seeing the smile on his face, old man Yun seemed to have lessened the worry in his heart, so he agreed, "Sure, I'll ask Lizi to bring some food and drink with him."

Hearing what his father said, Yunli wandered around the kitchen several times, not knowing what to get for dinner, so she finally had to borrow two handfuls of peanuts from Brother Qing's house next door, boil them with some salt, and send them to the main room.

Old man Yun and Li Enbai had already drunk it, but a small jug of wine was only enough for the two of them to taste slowly, so they hadn't even finished a glass of wine.

Yunli delivered the peanuts, and sat on the edge of the stove in the kitchen, sewing and mending. There was a small fire in the stove and hot water was boiling in the pot.

Li Enbai's gaze disappeared after Yunli left, but he didn't notice it himself, and filled Old Man Yun's glass, "Uncle Yun, this glass of wine is considered as Linfeng's apology to you, Linfeng lied about the origin. "

Old Man Yun laughed, "Have you been to the town to inquire about it?"

Li Enbai touched the tip of his nose, "Yes, Linfeng..."

The old man Yun waved his hand indifferently, "Forget it, I don't apologize. The old man is fairly accurate in judging people, and Brother Li is not a bad person, so I didn't force you if you didn't want to tell the truth at that time."

"Actually, I am not from the Song Dynasty. I come from a far away place." Li Enbai's face unconsciously carried some bitterness. If possible, he would not be willing to come to a completely strange era alone. not going..."

Old man Yun patted him on the shoulder, "Since you've come here, you should live here well. Don't you scholars just say something and settle here when you come here?"

Li Enbai smiled, "Since it's here, it's safe."

"That's right, that's right, that's the sentence, so don't be discouraged, and you have to live the life ahead." Old man Yun took a sip of his wine and sighed unconsciously.

Li Enbai looked at him suspiciously, "Uncle Yun seems to be a little troubled, if possible, Linfeng is willing to listen attentively, maybe he can think of some solutions."

"Alas..." Old Man Yun just sighed, without saying the reason.

Although Li Enbai was smart, he couldn't guess the exact reason, so he had to change the subject, "There is one more thing I want to ask Uncle Yun for help. Linfeng wants to settle in Huaimu Village, so I wonder if I can ask Uncle Yun to help find three guarantors?"

"It's not for nothing, Linfeng is willing to give each guarantor some money as a reward." Although Li Enbai is tight on money, settling down is a big deal, and he is willing to spend money.

Old man Yun asked him, "Brother Li, is he going to be a scholar?"

Li Enbai blinked his eyes, and understood that this question was related to whether old man Yun would like to let him settle in Huaimu Village, and said with certainty, "Xiu Cai is definitely going to take the test, and he plans to give it a try next year, but what Linfeng originally learned and There is a slight difference here in the Song Dynasty, and it may not be possible to pass the exam next year."

The old man Yun saw that he was confident and not just talking big, but his confidence in him grew even more, "Then Brother Li has passed the exam, can he guarantee that he will not go to other villages? Including marrying a wife and having children in the future."

Li Enbai was very surprised to hear what he said, as if there was a scholar in Huaimu Village who left the place where he grew up to live in other villages.

But he didn't ask, but gave an affirmative answer, "Yes, since Linfeng is settled here, Linfeng is naturally a member of Huaimu Village, and he will not and is unwilling to change his hometown."

The old man Yun was very satisfied, and he patted the table, "Okay, I'll make a note of this matter. When I find someone, I'll go to the Yamen to register. You just need to prepare the money for registration and settlement."

"Thank you, Uncle Yun." Li Enbai filled him with wine, "One more thing, I want to ask Uncle, which family is the carpenter in our village?"

Old man Yun had a big matter in mind, so he drank a small wine in a relaxed manner, "What kind of furniture do you want to buy? Let me tell you, you can wait until you have settled down and have a house base before thinking about furniture."

"No, I want to buy a piece of wood that has been dried in the shade. I can carve a little in Linfeng, and I plan to make a living from it." Li Enbai said frankly that Yunhe had to take him to find a booth for the big fair four days later.

Old man Yun had a strange expression on his face, "Are you still a carpenter?"

"You can't be a carpenter, you just know how to do some carpentry..." Li Enbai said with a guilty conscience, he doesn't really know how to do carpentry, but who made him choose to do carpentry now.

"Hahaha, then it seems that you should be from our Huaimu Village!" Old man Yun laughed heartily, "All the gentlemen in our village are carpenters, and everyone in the village knows that when you mention carpenters, you have to come to our village Find it!"

Li Enbai couldn't laugh or cry, so is this the reason why he can only choose carpentry?

In any case, he successfully bought the wood he wanted, as well as two carving knives that Old Man Yun kindly lent him.

In three days, Li Enbai carved all the wood in his hand into various ornaments, in addition to the regular flower hairpins, there are also various cute animal shapes, and matching earrings.

He showed all the finished products to Yun's family, which surprised old man Yun and others. Mu's eyes showed his love even more, staring at a set of cute tiger-shaped wooden hairpins and earrings, Yunli also fell in love with it I picked up a rabbit hairpin.

"Linfeng has prepared these, and plans to sell them at the fair tomorrow. Flower hairpins like this are relatively common, and the price is relatively cheap, so buy a quantity. The zodiac shapes like this are sold in sets, which are relatively expensive. It’s more expensive to paint like this.”

As soon as Li Enbai said that he was going to sell it, Mu's and Yunli's eager eyes were turned away, but Yunli thought that he could ask Brother Qing to buy it for him tomorrow.

"Tomorrow, I will ask Brother Yun to help me find a booth."

Yun He agreed without hesitation, and asked, "Brother Li, how much are you going to sell for one of these? It's too cheap to be worth it."

Although the animal-shaped wooden hairpins are unique, as long as they appear once, every jewelry store will sell them the next time they go to the town. If they are sold at a low price, it is really not worth it.

Li Enbai also understands that there is no copyright protection here, and the styles are easy to learn, but he feels that these styles are too simple and rough, and he has thousands of similar styles in his mind, so he is not afraid of being imitated.

To put it bluntly, if you want to imitate, you can imitate. He must be the person who has been imitated and never surpassed.

And he won't keep selling such simple things.

"I plan to look at the zodiac. A set sells for 55 Wen, and a hairpin or earrings alone cost [-] Wen."

"A set of [-] papers that have been painted, not sold separately."

Li Enbai said it lightly, and Yunli stared at the boss, "Doesn't that mean that selling ten sets of coloring is a tael of silver!"

He turned his head to count the items on the table, and said in amazement after counting, "If you sell them all, there will be more than four taels of silver!"

"It may not be possible to sell them all." Li Enbai said modestly, but he believed that he could sell them all.

Yunli also felt that they would definitely sell out, but he had never seen anyone who sold wooden hairpins that looked better than Brother Li's. He wanted to buy one after seeing it, but unfortunately he didn't have that much money.

Although she was disappointed, Yunli didn't have the slightest intention to let Li Enbai sell it to him cheaply.

Li Enbai didn't intend to take his money, but went back to the house and took out two colored single hairpins, one was a gentle gardenia, the other was a pure white pear flower.

"Brother Dahe, I gave these two hairpins to my sister-in-law and Yunli." Li Enbai stuffed the two hairpins into Yunhe's hands, "Please help me share them."

Yunli stared at the white pear flower, and Mu's family also looked expectant. Seeing this, Yunhe glanced at old man Yun, afraid that his father would not let him take it...
