Chapter 63 Building Furniture

Carpentry is also a skilled trade in rural areas. Although it is not as difficult as a master carpenter to become a master carpenter, it still has a certain threshold. If there is no master to guide you, it is not difficult to make simple stools by yourself. However, if you want to build a shelf Beds and wardrobes are more difficult.

Even if you have the talent of chasing after God to feed you, and you can make it according to the real thing, the speed and quality will definitely not be as good as that of a real carpenter.

 Hence why carpentry masters are also a very popular type of work in rural areas.

 Deng Shirong’s village has a vat master and a construction minister, but there is no carpenter master.

 So if someone in their village wants to build some furniture, they usually go to Bangba Village next door to hire a carpenter to build it.

If Deng Shirong wanted to build some furniture in the past, the carpenter from Bangba Village would definitely be his first choice. But now Zhang Kangmei, Deng Changmei’s grandniece’s prospective husband, is the carpenter, and he was the one who personally made the connection. Now that there is carpentry work, then He must be invited.

However, because Deng Shirong needs to build a lot of furniture, if he only asks Zhang Kangmei and his son to help build it, it will definitely be too late in time.

 Zhang Jiefang nodded and said: "No problem, Uncle Jiu, I promise to complete the task as quickly as possible with quality and quantity."

Deng Shirong said: "It's like this. My family was building a new house some time ago. Now the new house has been built, but it still lacks some furniture, so I would like to ask you to help build a batch of furniture. I don't know that you and your son are better at building it. What furniture?”

Seeing Deng Shirong coming, Deng Yunjin, who was sitting at the door knitting cornflowers, said hello, and then shouted inside: "Amei, come out, Jiu Gong is here!"

Therefore, Deng Shirong decided that in addition to asking Zhang Kangmei and his son to build furniture, he would also hire a few more carpenters to help him build all the furniture he wanted in the shortest time, and then their family could move into their new house. .

Zhang Jiefang said: "Uncle Jiu, we father and son cannot build the super luxurious wedding bed in ancient times. We don't have the technology. If we are in this era, we can build the best marriage bed in our commune. With readily available wood, our father and son can build it in about a month.”

Deng Shirong asked again: "If it is the kind of canopy bed used as a wedding bed, how long does it take to build one?"

The beds, dressing tables and dining tables were left to the three generations of the Zhang family. Eight large wardrobes and dozens of stools were left, and Deng Shirong had to hire others to build them.

 “For a large wardrobe, it will take about ten days.”

After thinking about it clearly, Deng Shirong came to Deng Yunjin’s house.

 Changtian Village.

 …

 Again, no strong and energetic young man does not want to marry a wife.

Deng Shirong asked: "How long does it take to build a simple canopy bed?"

 “What about the wardrobe? How long does it take to build one?”

When a big business came to his door, Zhang Jiefang was naturally not willing to miss it. He immediately expressed his position: "Uncle Jiu, if you are in a hurry, I can ask my dad to come out. If the three of us, grandfather and grandson, build it together, the speed can be increased by at least a third." one."

After the two parties were polite, Deng Shirong said to Zhang Jiefang: "Ah Biao, now that our production team has been divided, Kangmei and Amei's marriage can be arranged. I have already told the girl's parents about this, and they They all agreed.”

Deng Shirong said: "If this is the case, then you can help build three more dressing tables and a big dining table!"

Of course, before that, Deng Shirong had to ask the master to choose an auspicious day.

 Next, the two sides discussed some more details, and then Deng Shirong smoked a few pipes of cigarettes before riding away.

After finishing the business, Deng Shirong stood up and said, "Okay, that's settled, I'll go to Zhang's house now."

Zhang Jiefang said: “If there is ready-made wood, our father and son can build a simple canopy bed in two days.”

The arrival of Deng Shirong, the matchmaker, was naturally warmly received by the Zhang family.

After chatting for a while about the house, Deng Shirong put the chimney aside and said: "Yunjin, now the production team has divided the mountains. It is estimated that the remaining mountains will not be divided again, and there are only some edges of the fields left." Jiaojiao, Amei’s marriage should be ready, right?”

 “How long will it take for the dressing table?”

 “About five days.”

Deng Yunjin put the half-woven cornflower aside and said with envy: "Uncle Jiu, your new house is really beautiful. Are you optimistic about its future? When do you plan to move in?" You mean to live in it?"

　　Bai Ping Brigade.

 …

 Zhang Jiefang said: "Uncle Jiu, what else can I do?"

When mentioning his major, Zhang Jiefang perked up and said, "Uncle Jiu, our father and son have rich experience in making common furniture such as canopy beds, wardrobes, tables, stools, dressing tables, and boxes."

Zhang Jiefang said happily: "Then I will go to the dater later to choose an auspicious day." Zhang Kangmei, who was listening in the audience, also had a smile on his face.

The two parties greeted each other, and Deng Shirong started smoking shisha skillfully.

Deng Shirong nodded, and then said: "A Biao, in addition to telling you this matter, I also want to discuss something with you this time."

Deng Shirong looked at Deng Changmei and said with a smile: "Amei, my new house is built and I need to build a lot of furniture. I plan to ask the Zhang family and his son to help build it. If you have no objection, you can register with Zhang Kangmei first, so that you can get along with each other. You don’t have to worry so much.”

 “Nine uncles.”

Deng Changmei was a little surprised when she heard this. She blushed and said, "Okay, Mr. Jiu, I will listen to you."

Deng Shirong asked about all the furniture he wanted to build, and finally said: "Ah Biao, let's do this. You and your son will help us build the best wedding bed here, and we will also build twelve simple canopy beds. It's a pity that I’m in a bit of a hurry, otherwise I’d leave all the other furniture to you.”

 When I got home, it was already past three in the afternoon.

Deng Yunjin had obviously thought about this problem, so he immediately replied: "It can be done. Uncle Jiu, please ask the groom's family to find a master to choose an auspicious day!"

As soon as Deng Shirong sat down with his chimney, Deng Changmei walked out.

 “I’ll go to Shejiao to find Yuncheng tomorrow to choose a lucky day.”

However, before hiring other carpenters, Deng Shirong would first hire a few workers in the village to cut down all the pine trees on his mountain, and then carry them back with other villagers to exchange dry pine for furniture. Other trees and All the weeds were also brought back and used as firewood.

 After doing this, help cultivate the orchard and prepare for planting fruit trees next year.
