The Rebirth of 88s Begins with a Carpenter

  Chapter 2 Unique ingenuity, turning decay into magic

  In the next seven days, the heavy snow stopped, melted again, froze, and frozen the soil.

  The power of Xuehouhan also swept along.

  Even the rhubarb at the door spends most of the time huddled in the nest, lying in the haystack, only popping up occasionally to listen to the movement of the east room.

  As the master, Wu Yuan lived and boarded at the counter in the east room.

  Leng is to change the previous rustic combination cabinet into a round and natural one, with a 360-degree foreign style without dead ends.

  Then brush with wood tung oil, the texture of the log color is set off more and more eye-catching, and even has the original ecological temperament pursued by later generations of solid wood furniture.

   Not only that, four high and low cabinets, plus one bar cabinet, can also be combined arbitrarily to change into a variety of different shapes.

  Extremely adaptable.

  The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month coincides with the Laba Festival.

  The big market, which originally only meets every three to sixty-nine, has an exception today.

  Wu Yuan moved the combined cabinets one by one onto the flatbed truck, stuffed some rags to wrap the corners, and tied them firmly with long hemp rope.

   Then went straight to Daji in Yijing Township.

  Yikoujing Township is located on the outskirts of the city, and the market is the largest, and many city people frequent it.

  Wu Yuan chose to be there because he also meant that this set of cabinets could be favored by rich people from the city, and they could be sold at a good price.

   Along the way, the flatbed truck bumped along the gravel road, making Wu Jiang's hands numb.

  Finally came to the market in Yijing Township.

  Looking from a distance, there are so many people that you can't see the side.

  In addition to the good weather today, many vendors are still coming together.

  Wu Yuan picked a piece of dry land, moved down the combination cabinets one by one, arranged them according to the most common shapes, and then sat on the handlebar of the flatbed, took out the dried sweet potato from the bag, and chewed there.

  He didn't yell, anyway, once the combination cabinet is put here, people who know the goods will naturally stop to ask the price.

  And as far as he knows, although the combination cabinet is very popular in the south, it is still a new item in Beigang County.

  As far as the combination cabinet he pulled is the only one in the market in more than one mile today.

  It wasn't until noon, when the cold sunshine rarely had a trace of warmth, that an elderly man stopped to stay.

   Stretched out his hand to touch the corners for a long time, patted the cabinet and asked, "How do you sell this furniture?"

"Grandpa, this is a combination cabinet that is popular in the South. Marry a son for a daughter-in-law, marry a daughter as a dowry, and have a face. And my set of combination cabinets is the only one. You can't find the first one in Beigang. Two sets!"

   "The price is one thousand and two, including door-to-door installation!"

  When the old man heard this, he shrank his neck and left.

  Wu Yuan was not discouraged either, he squatted down and continued to eat dried sweet potatoes.

But the elder bamboo craftsman who made the baskets next to him couldn't hold back his anger: "Little brother, you dare to call it one thousand and two, let alone today, you won't be able to sell it in ten or eight days! It's too expensive. Where can ordinary people in Beigang buy it?" Can you afford it?"

   "Brother, it's really hard to say that there are people who are destined to sell goods."

  Besides, Wu Yuan was also very wronged. Of course, the asking price must be raised. If you want to buy it, you can just sit back and bargain.

   I left without saying a word, after all, I didn’t want to buy it.

  The two of them had just finished speaking.

   Another middle-aged couple stopped in front of the combination cabinet. The woman wore a very western-style ski jacket. Compared with the bloated figures of other women, her temperament stood out immediately.

  Wu Yuan noticed that the light in the woman's eyes was getting brighter and brighter, and he knew it.

  Finally, after ordering a Yipinmei, the man said, "Little brother, how do you plan to sell this combination cabinet?"

  Wu Yuan leaned forward, "Brother, at first glance, you are also a connoisseur of goods. Leaving aside the price, what do you think of the craftsmanship of this combination cabinet master?"

  The man exhaled a puff of smoke, felt the subtle traces of the mortise and tenon connection, and said: "There is no one who can't do it in thirty years. Little brother, this cabinet is made by your master, right?"

   Thirty years is right.

  I was reborn at the age of 55, isn't that the craft of more than 30 years?

Wu Yuan gave a thumbs up, "Brother is indeed an expert. This combination cabinet is indeed a master craftsman. It took half a year to build it by himself. It is the only one in Beigang County! I don't want much price , 1,200 to make a friend, buy it back and put it at home, it will definitely look good!"

  The man glanced at the woman, and then asked, "Do you include delivery and installation?"

   "It is necessary, and the service is at home. There is no need to bother my master for such a small matter as installation."

   "Okay then, you close the cabinet and come with us."

"okay!"

  Wu Yuan agreed, full of excitement.

   Hearing this, the elder bamboo craftsman next to him couldn't help being envious and jealous.

   One thousand two hundred.

   Enough for him to weave thousands of baskets.

   People are numb.

  Following the middle-aged couple all the way to the county government compound.

  Wu Yuan was sweating all over, and the leftover dried sweet potato in his arms was hot and soft.

   Moved the combination cabinet upstairs in one breath, and the middle-aged woman handed him a cup of hot water: "Little master, I'm sorry."

  Wu Yuan took the teacup: "Thank you, big sister, wrap it on me."

  The installation of the combination cabinet is very simple.

  The main reason is that the host needs to spend some effort to make room for the combination cabinet.

   It was so busy until four or five o'clock before it completely stopped.

  Received 120 cards of Great Unity from the middle-aged woman, counted them, and twirled them in her hands to confirm the feel of real money, and then thankfully pulled the flatbed and left.

  On the way back, Wu Yuan was happy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

  Until the township road entrance of Yikoujing, Wu Yuan pulled the flatbed all the way downhill, and went straight to the third sister's house in Xiaxu Village, Yikoujing Township.

at the same time.

  Wu Xiuhua is also worrying at home.

  Yaodi was sure that she was going to marry Yang Luoyan, but she told him to find a way to make money by himself, but she had already taken this matter to heart.

  Since his parents passed away, there is only such a young brother left in his hometown Liyuan Village.

  If the family is not established, the business is not established, she, the third sister, doesn't care, who will take care of it?

   Counting on the eldest sister and the second sister?

  Every time the eldest sister goes back to Yaodi’s house, it would be nice if she doesn’t take some food and cabbage with her.

  As for the second sister, she is not well-off herself, and there are too many children in the family, so she is powerless at all.

  The guy in Simei's family is pretty good, and he's also the village party secretary.

   But Yaodi always said that he looked down on him and would not listen to any explanations, let alone expect him to help.

   It's just that Wu Xiuhua raised money and raised money. He even borrowed from several uncles' families, and only borrowed 600 yuan.

   This is still more than half.

   After paying the bride price, you can’t even have money for the wedding, right?

   Just then, a dog barked outside the door.

  Yaodi walked in with his second child in his arms, yelling as he walked, "Third Sister, Third Sister?"

  Wu Xiuhua raised the curtain and showed her face: "Here, put Xiaowen down and tell him to play by himself."

  Wu Yuan put down Xiong Wen, and still did not forget to threaten fiercely: "Let me watch you play by the river next time, and uncle will beat you once we see you!"

  Wu Xiuhua said nonchalantly: "The river is freezing now, don't scare Xiaowen like that."

  Wu Yuan still grimaced Xiaowen viciously.
