Rebirth in 88 starts as a carpenter

Chapter 2 Unique ingenuity turns decay into magic

In the next seven days, the heavy snow stopped, melted again, turned to ice, and froze the soil.

The power of the snow queen's cold also swept over.

So much so that Rhubarb at the door spends most of his time huddled in his nest, lying in a pile of hay, only occasionally popping up to listen to what's going on in the east room.

As the owner, Wu Yuan lived and ate on the desk in the east room.

I suddenly changed the previously rustic modular cabinet into a sleek and natural one, giving it a modern look with no blind spots.

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

Not only that, the four high and low cabinets, plus a single cabinet, can be combined at will to create a variety of different shapes.

Extremely adaptable.

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

The big market that used to only have fairs every now and then has made an exception and now all have fairs.

Wu Yuan moved the modular cabinets onto the flatbed truck one by one, stuffed some rags into the corners, and tied them firmly with long hemp ropes.

Then he went straight to the large market in Yiyijing Township.

Yiyijing Township is located on the outskirts of the city. It has the largest market and is frequented by many city dwellers.

Wu Yuan chose this place because he hoped that this set of modular cabinets would be noticed by wealthy people from the city and sell them at a good price.

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

Finally, we arrived at the market in Yiyijing Township.

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

In addition, the weather is nice today, and many vendors are still gathering here.

Wu Yuan picked a piece of dry land, moved down the cabinets one by one, and arranged them according to the most common shapes. Then he sat on the flat handlebar, took out dried red sweet potatoes from his bag, and chewed them there.

He didn't yell. Anyway, as soon as the combination cabinet was put here, people who knew the goods would naturally stop and ask for the price.

And as far as he knew, although the modular cabinet is very popular in the south, it is still a new thing in Beigang County.

The combination cabinet he brought was the only one of its kind in the market more than a mile away today.

It wasn't until noon, when the cold sunshine gained a rare warmth, that an elderly man stopped.

He reached out and touched the corners for a long time, patted the counter and asked, "How do you sell this furniture?"

"Uncle, this is a modular cabinet that is popular in the south. It's important to give your son a wife and a daughter to give a dowry. And this is the only set of modular cabinets I have. You can't find the other one in Beigang.

Two sets!”

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

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

Wu Yuan was not discouraged and squatted down and continued to eat dried red sweet potatoes.

On the other hand, the elder brother who was weaving baskets next to him couldn't hold back his anger: "Little brother, how dare you call me Qian Er? Let alone today, I won't be able to sell it for 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 goods are sold to people who are destined to be together."

Besides, Wu Yuan was wronged. Of course he had to raise the price. If you wanted to buy it, just sit down and bargain.

He left without saying a word. After all, he didn't want to buy it.

The two of them had just finished speaking.

Another middle-aged couple stopped in front of the cabinet. The woman among them was wearing a very fashionable ski shirt. Compared with the bloated figures of other women, her temperament was immediately highlighted.

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

Finally, after ordering a plum, the man spoke: "Little brother, how do you plan to sell this modular cabinet?"

Wu Yuan stepped forward and said, "Brother, it seems that you are also an expert in identifying goods. Let's not mention the price. What do you think of the craftsmanship of the master of this set of modular cabinets?"

The man exhaled a puff of smoke, touched the subtle traces of the tenon and tenon joints, and said, "It takes thirty years to master this craftsmanship. Little brother, was this set of cabinets made by your master?"

Thirty years is right.

I was reborn at the age of 55. Isn’t it just a craftsmanship of more than thirty years?

Wu Yuan gave a thumbs up, "Brother is indeed an expert. This set of modular cabinets was indeed made by a master craftsman who spent half a year. It is the only set in Beigang County! I don't want to pay too much for the price.

, make a friend with one thousand and two, buy it and put it at home for sure!"

The man glanced at the woman and then asked: "Does it include door-to-door delivery and door-to-door installation?"

"That's necessary. The service is at your doorstep. You don't need to trouble my master to do something as simple as installation."

"Okay, just close the locker and come with us."

"okay!"

Wu Yuan agreed, showing full excitement.

Hearing this, the bamboo craftsman next to him could not help but feel envious and jealous.

One thousand two hundred dollars.

Enough for him to weave thousands of baskets.

People are numb.

Following the middle-aged couple, they arrived at the county government compound.

Wu Yuan was sweating all over, and the remaining dried red potatoes in his arms were soft and warm.

He moved the cabinet upstairs in one breath, and the middle-aged woman handed him a cup of hot water: "Master, I'm sorry."

Wu Yuan took the tea cup: "Thank you, eldest sister, for bringing it to me."

The installation of modular cabinets is very simple.

The main reason is that it takes some effort for the owner to free up space for the modular cabinets.

I was busy like this until four or five o'clock, when I finally stopped.

He took the 120 big solidarity notes from the middle-aged woman, counted them, and twirled them in his hands to make sure they felt like real money, and then he pulled the flatbed truck away with great gratitude.

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

Arriving at the rural intersection of Yiyijing, Wu Yuan pulled the flatbed truck all the way downhill and went straight to the third sister's home in the rural village of Yiyijing.

at the same time.

Wu Xiuhua was also worried at home.

Yaodi was determined to marry Yang Luoyan, and she said she wanted him to find a way to make money on his own, but in fact she had already taken this matter to heart.

Since his parents passed away, this is the only youngest brother left in his hometown of Liyuan Village.

The family has not yet been established and the business has not yet been established. If she, the third sister, does not care, who will take care of it?

Counting on the eldest sister and the second sister?

Whenever the eldest sister goes back to Yao Di's house, it would be good if she takes away some food and cabbage.

As for the second sister, she is not well-off and has many children at home, so she is completely powerless.

Fourth sister's family is pretty good, and she is also the village party secretary.

But he always said that Yaodi looked down on him and wouldn't listen to any explanations, so it was even less likely that he could be expected to help.

It was just that Wu Xiuhua raised money and even borrowed it from several brothers-in-law's houses, and only managed to borrow 600 yuan.

This is still less than half.

You can't pay the bride price and not even have the money for the wedding, right?

At this moment, a dog barked outside the door.

The younger brother strode in with his second child in his arms, shouting as he walked: "Third sister, third sister?"

Wu Xiuhua lifted the curtain and revealed her face: "Here you are, put Xiaowen down and tell him to play by himself."

Wu Yuan put down Xiong Wen and threatened him fiercely: "Next time, let me see you playing by the river. I'll beat you every time I see you!"

Wu Xiuhua said nonchalantly: "It's freezing in the river now, so don't scare Xiaowen like that."

Wu Yuan still gave Xiao Wen a fierce face.
