Chapter 55 Custom Furniture

  Although Yu Xiaolian said so, Mrs. Sun still wanted to clean up the house in the second courtyard, the reason being that the warehouse should also be clean.

  Yu Xiaolian had no choice but to let her go, her mother was a bit of a clean freak.

  Everything is easy in the world, and by the time Yu Xiaolian finished laying the kang mats in the west room, Mrs. Sun had already wiped the three rooms in the Erjin yard, and then started to sweep the dust in the warehouse with a broom.

  Her mother really can't see any dirty place in her eyes, she is a hardworking person by nature.

  Yu Xiaolian's body is inactive, but his soul is in turmoil.

  Uh, don't say I'm lazy, I'm just too busy to be obvious.

  Yu Xiaolian slowly cleared out the **** in the yard. Just as she was about to throw away the broken stools in the yard, Mrs. Sun hurriedly called her, saying to keep the fire, or she would have to spend money to buy firewood.

  Yu Xiaolian thinks so too, this city is no better than Hewan Village, so he has to spend money to buy firewood.

  Thinking about all the firewood she worked so hard in Hewan Village, it was really cheap for Old Madam Yu and the others.

  When Mrs. Sun finished sweeping the barn, and Yu Xiaolian also finished sweeping the yard, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, both grinning happily.

   "Mom, do you have to measure the size of the pot?"

"That's for sure, my mother has already measured it. The east room is a large pot with eight seals, and the west room is a small pot with six seals. They both have to be installed. One cooks and the other cooks." Buy more charcoal and firewood, if you buy it temporarily, it will be inconvenient to use.”

  Yu Xiaolian nodded to show that she understood.

"Mom, our house is different from other people's houses. You can't buy anything in the house. During this time, let's keep a distance from our neighbors as much as possible. We can't let others come to our house as guests. You have to be cold when you go out on weekdays." Do not deal with strangers."

   Mrs. Sun expressed her understanding, and then seeing that there was no other work at home, she asked Yu Xiaolian to go out with her to buy pots.

   "Oh, there is no rope. How can I carry it back? Is there any rope in your supermarket?"

  Yu Xiaolian thought for a while, "It doesn't seem like it's okay, mother, let's pay the money and let them deliver it to the door."

   I am in a hurry, so this is the only way to do it.

   Talked to Yu Changhe, and Yu Xiaolian and Mrs. Sun went to the street. The road in front of their door is a stone road. If they want to push a cart or something in the future, it will be easy to push.

  It is only five minutes away from the lively market.

  Since she was new to the ramp and couldn't find a blacksmith shop, Yu Xiaolian asked an egg seller.

   "Go straight from here until you reach the end and turn left. There is a blacksmith's shop."

  Following the road guided by the aunt, Sun and Yu Xiaolian found the blacksmith's shop easily, bought two pots in the blacksmith's shop, and asked the blacksmith about the carpenter's shop that made furniture.

  Pay the money for the pot, leave the address, and make an agreement with the blacksmith, and send it home in a while.

  Sun and Yu Xiaolian came to the carpenter's shop again, like the big wooden boxes and carved kang cabinets that Sun and the others usually use, there are ready-made ones here.

   But Yu Xiaolian wanted to make some different furniture, and the carpenter said that if she could draw the blueprint, he could make it.

  Borrowing the pen and ink of the carpenter's son, Yu Xiaolian made a kang cabinet, with two rows of drawers underneath and two long cabinets with opposite doors on the top, and there should be rails for hanging clothes in the long cabinets.

   Draw another cabinet on the ground. This one is simpler. It just subverts the traditional top-opening door and becomes a row of side-opening doors. There must be several partitions inside each door, which are used to store different items.

  Finally, Yu Xiaolian drew another bookshelf, which was also designed in a simple style.

   "These things don't need to be carved, as long as they are polished and waxed for me."

  Yu Xiaolian put down the brush and saw the carpenter staring at the blueprint with a dumbfounded face, thinking he couldn't do it, "Can't it be done?"

   This is already the simplest style she drew.

   "I can do it, I can do it!" The carpenter held the blueprint with excitement on his face, "You are amazing, you can draw blueprints, and you can draw them so well. This furniture will definitely sell well."

   "I only make furniture and don't sell drawings. If you want to make it like this and sell it to others, shouldn't the furniture I make be cheaper for me?"

  The carpenter slapped his chest boldly, "Why is it cheap? As long as you keep this blueprint, big brother will give you free."

   It’s just a few boards, and the boards are not worth much. What is valuable is his craftsmanship.

  With this drawing, do you still worry about his furniture not selling well?

   As far as this novel style is concerned, dignitaries, nobles and rich ladies will definitely like it.

  This nobleman is in a circle, and when the time comes, one will spread it to ten, and ten will spread it to a hundred. Is he still worried about not being able to get a job?

  Yu Xiaolian was overjoyed when she heard that it was free for her, "I also want two small kang tables, a round table for eating, four chairs and a bathtub."

   "No problem." The carpenter was very straightforward.

  Goal achieved, go home.

After Yu Xiaolian and Mrs. Sun left, Carpenter Liu's apprentice said in a buzzing voice, "Master, those two people are dressed in rags, and they don't necessarily have money to buy furniture. Do you want that girl to give you money?" Fooled?"

   A few drawings were waived, and so much was waived, the little apprentice felt that his master had been deceived.

   Carpenter Liu was immersed in the joy of the new blueprint. Why didn't he expect that the cabinet could do this?

   Seeing that the master didn't listen to him at all, the little apprentice picked up a hammer and pointed it at a piece of wood, and began to work with clangs.

  He thought that the furniture given away for free must not be made of good wood for her, otherwise his master would be at a loss.

  While passing through the market, Yu Xiaolian stopped when she saw a firewood seller.

  The firewood sellers gathered together and saw that the Sun mother and daughter were not dressed as well as they were, and they didn't mean to greet them. They were still two thin boys, so they asked Yu Xiaolian, "Do you want to buy firewood?"

   "Buy, how much is a bundle?"

  These two tall, thin boys looked to be about the same age as Yu Xiaolian, and they looked exactly the same. They should be a pair of twin brothers.

  The little boy saw that they were really buying firewood. Immediately, the joy blossomed, "One bundle is six cents, and two bundles are ten cents."

  Sun asked, "Is this car yours?"

   "Hmm." The two little heads nodded together.

  Yu Xiaolian glanced at Mrs. Sun, and the two of them reached an agreement with their eyes.

   "I have them all. Can you send me home?"

   "Yes, yes." The two brothers smiled similarly, feeling that they met a good person today, and they didn't have to push the heavy firewood cart home like yesterday.

  When Yu Xiaolian arrived home, the people from the blacksmith shop were knocking on the door of her house. When they saw them coming back, they left the pot at the door and left.

  Sun moved the pot into the courtyard, and Yu Xiaolian took the twin brothers to the backyard.

  They placed the firewood neatly in the corner, and then ran to Yu Xiaolian's side, "Sister, there are twenty bundles in total, one hundred Wen."

  Yu Xiaolian asked, "Do you sell firewood every day?"

   "Well, I come here every day recently." Because their mother is sick, they have been collecting firewood to sell every day recently.

   "Do you know how to burn charcoal? My family still needs a lot of firewood and charcoal."

  Da An and Xiao An looked at each other, and then said in unison, "Yes, we will burn charcoal."

   "Then send another carload of firewood and a carload of carbon, and the half taels of silver will be regarded as fixed money."

  Yu Xiaolian didn't want to buy so much firewood at first, after all, there are many firewood sellers, but just now she saw the two little ones were very serious, stacking the firewood neatly, and she couldn't help but develop a good impression of them.

   "Thank you sister, you are such a good person, then tomorrow we will send you a car of firewood first, and the carbon will be delivered later."

   "Okay, don't worry, if the charcoal is easy to burn and there is no smoke, I will often use your charcoal for my household in the future."

  Daliang’s winter is very cold, and it gets colder the further north you go, so you can’t live without charcoal fire in your house in winter. Of course, save more, the more the better.

   After the two little ones thanked Yu Xiaolian a thousand times, they left happily.

  Yu Xiaolian took another look at the neatly stacked firewood, and once again praised the two little ones in her heart.

   Really good at doing things!

  Passing by the stable, Dahong hissed at Yu Xiaolian, and Yu Xiaolian realized that he hadn't bought fodder for the horse, nor fed it water.

  He took out a small plastic red bucket from the space, fetched a bucket of water from the well, and brought it to Dahong. When Dahong saw the water, he directly put the horse's head into the bucket to drink.

  It seems that I am thirsty.

  It's so hot, can you not be thirsty?
