Chapter 48 Ordering Furniture

Yu Qing followed Captain Chang Qing to the carpenter's house. It was an old house of the same style. The outside looked like it had a strong sense of age, but inside, the walls were smoked black due to the fire burning in the main room.

"Old Baldy, this girl is here to order furniture." Chang Qing said to the old man who was sitting at the table and eating.

When Yu Qing heard that this was the old bald man mentioned by the captain, she was stunned for a moment. Wasn't he called the old bald man?

This old man in his fifties has gray hair, but it is very thick.

The old bald man quickly put the remaining rice in the bowl into his mouth, put down the bowl and chopsticks, and smiled at Yu Qing.

Changqing saw that the old bald man's mouth was full of rice and knew that he could not speak for a while, so he said to Yu Qing: "If you need anything, tell him and he will make it for you using strong wood."

The old bald man waved his hand and led them out of the side door. On the side of the main house was a row of side rooms, one of which was where they did carpentry.

The two sons of the old bald man were planing wood. When they saw their father bringing a stranger in, they both raised their heads and smiled at Yu Qing.

"We only have time to do carpentry during the off-season. We usually have to take care of the work in the fields. However, it's a good thing you came at this time. It's the winter off-season. Comrade, what kind of furniture do you want to make? What kind of furniture do you want to make with me?

Talk about it."

As soon as Yu Qing entered the door, she looked around the entire room and saw some finished products piled up in the innermost corner of the room.

She did not answer his question first, but pointed to the corner and asked: "Uncle, are those finished products ordered by others or are you in stock?"

"Inventory, let's take advantage of the winter leisure to make more. If someone urgently needs it, we can sell the inventory to others. Anyway, it will be idle. The furniture is ready and put there, and we don't have to worry about the food." After the old bald man finished speaking, he was pleased with himself.

It's silly fun.

Hearing this, Yu Qing felt happy, "Then I'll take a look at what's available and pick out some ready-made ones first."

"Okay." The old bald man glanced at Captain Changqing and agreed readily.

There are finished products piled in the corner, including tables and benches, all stacked one on top of the other. There are wooden barrels, wooden boxes, etc. next to them.

The table and bench are what she urgently needs right now, and she can get a large wooden basin. The villagers here also call it a bathtub, which can be used for bathing and washing clothes. One basin can be used for multiple purposes.

You can also get two small wooden basins and put them in the kitchen for washing vegetables later.

The washbasin she bought from Ergang was made of ceramic, and that one was specially used for washing her face.

The suite in the unit has two rooms, both of which are not large in size.

Yu Qing wants to use one as a bedroom and the other as a study. If so, she still needs a desk, a bookshelf and an armchair.

The old bald man shook his head: "The study set is not ready-made. If you want it, we can make it custom-made. When it is ready, we will send it to you. What do you think?"

"Okay. How long will it take to make it?" Yu Qing thought about what else is missing at home.

The old bald man estimated, "About half a month."

Yu Qing was shocked. It takes half a month to build a desk and bookshelf?

In half a month, the carpentry of a house can be completed.

Later, when she caught a glimpse of the man bending over to plan wood, she realized that it was not surprising that furniture in this era was all handmade from logs and needed time to polish.

"Are there any cupboards, cutting boards, and wooden spoons in the kitchen?"

If you want to cook by yourself in the future, you must have cupboards in the kitchen, and there will be a place to put the dishes, chopsticks, oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar.

"These are not ready-made. If you want them, I will send them to you together with the desk ones."

No problem. After confirming what she wanted to buy, Yu Qing asked about the price. A square table plus four stools cost 30 yuan in total.
