Chapter 190 Carpenter
Alas, it seems it’s because of lack of exercise!
"Ahh~"
"What happened to the third brother? Did he catch a cold today?"
"I'll make some ginger soup for you later."
Shen Yuanzhou rubbed his nose and said quickly: "Mom, no, I didn't catch a cold, I'm fine!"
Seeing his mother's unbelieving look, he quickly added: "It's really nothing, I just feel like someone is talking about me behind my back."
He was afraid that if he explained any later, he would be forced to drink a bowl of ginger soup.
His ginger soup, haha, my sister’s ginger soup has sugar in it, but as for his!
It’s good enough to just drink it, why do you need sugar!
Lin Cuicui stared at him carefully for a while and indeed did not look like he had caught a cold, so she nodded, "That's good."
Shen Li raised a beautiful smile on her face and looked at the two of them. She didn't feel guilty at all for secretly plotting against her third brother.
After dinner, the family took a shower or did laundry. As night fell, the yard soon fell into silence.
At night, Shen Li was still practicing his internal skills. At midnight, his consciousness sank into the space to train his mental strength and wood-related abilities.
As for internal strength and mental skills, although I have a high talent and learned it quickly, I am old now. If I don’t work harder, how can I improve my internal strength?
Even the three older brothers practiced until midnight every day. Although they haven't yet entered the door, their bodies are already more than 10 times stronger than that of ordinary people.
Several days passed like this, and the house had begun to take shape from the outside. Three houses next door were waiting for an auspicious day to top out.
The reason why the house was built so quickly was thanks to Chen Jian and the workers he brought with him. They did not have to travel back and forth to the county town, but rented two small courtyards in the village to live in. The village chief was of course happy about this.
As expected, there is strength in numbers. The house is changing every day. Thanks to God for not raining during this period, otherwise the progress would have been slowed down a lot.
During this period, Shen Li ran to the mountains all day long, hoping to upgrade his wood-related and spiritual abilities, but they only grew a little bit.
Shen Li comforted herself in her heart that being able to grow a little bit was a consolation, which was better than no growth at all.
I spent half a day in the mountains and half a day helping out in my own house. After a few days, the house took shape little by little at a speed visible to the naked eye, and now it has begun to take shape.
The three houses nearby have been completed and are just waiting for the furniture to be moved in.
Their houses are very simple, surrounded by a courtyard. The houses inside are made of blue bricks and large tiles. Some have three rooms in a row, and some are divided into east and west wing rooms and main rooms. Each family arranges their houses reasonably according to the population of their own.
The house will be completed soon. Today, Shen Li went to the county with her parents to find a master carpenter who was recommended by Chen Jian.
After entering the county town, I successfully found the shop. The shop was relatively remote and was filled with carefully carved furniture.
Each set is different, some are complex and exquisite, some are simple and grand, and some are delicate and elegant.
There was only a waiter greeting people in the shop in front. Shen Li had good hearing and could hear the faint sound of wood cutting coming from behind.
"Sir, do you want to order furniture or buy furniture?"
“You can buy it or make it to order.”
The waiter was also a smart guy. He understood what they meant as soon as he heard what they said. If he liked the item, he would buy it. If not, he would make it custom-made on the spot.
"Then I'll show you around. Every set in our store is unique. There are more on the second floor. Let's take a look."
The waiter took the three people to look around for a long time, and decided on a set of octagonal tables, several sets of matching tables and chairs, several Luohan beds, two step-out beds, two canopy beds, as well as their matching dressing tables and furnishings in the house.
Perhaps because it is located in a remote area, this store is very large and there are more furniture on the second floor. When Shen Li first went up, she fell in love with the beauty couch placed in the center at first sight.
Although the wood is of medium quality, the carvings and patterns are intricate and very exquisite.
"How much is this beauty bed?"
"Miss, you have good taste. This beauty couch took our master half a month to make. There is only this one!"
"Well, how much silver?"
The waiter made a mental note before speaking, "50 taels of silver."
This beauty bed had been favored by many young ladies, but in the end, it was not picked up because the wood was not of good quality. Now that it has been on display in the store for more than a year, the boss has already said that it can be sold at a lower price.
Shen Li nodded, "Okay, we'll transport them together then."
"okay."
After looking around for a while, they picked out most of the furniture in the store. The waiter was so happy that he took them to settle the bill.
"I'll give you 752 silver ounces, I'll give you 750."
Shen Changshan and Lin Cuicui looked at each other. Although they were mentally prepared, they were still shocked by the price.
But this furniture is really worth the price. It hurts to think about giving away such a large sum of money.
"It will be a while before we remove this furniture."
The waiter understood and said politely, "Sir, give us a deposit first. When the time comes, please let us know and we will take it to you."
"Row."
Shen Changshan handed over a silver note worth one hundred taels, and the waiter wrote out a contract.
"Is your master here?"
"Yes, girl, do you still need to make furniture?"
"Ah."
The waiter looked hesitant. "Master Wang has a strange personality. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to go to the backyard."
"fine."
Seeing that there was no strange expression on her face, the waiter took her to the backyard.
The back was different from the front, it was a bit messy, with a lot of discarded wood piled up in some places, as well as uncarved wood, and the ground was also full of wood debris.
In the back, there were six carpenters in their 6s carving the furniture in their hands, and at the back, sat a man around 30 years old.
His hair had already turned gray and his face had some wrinkles. He was concentrating on carving the furniture in front of him.
"Master Wang, this customer wants you to make furniture for him."
The old master didn't even raise his head when he heard this, and said calmly: "Do you have a blueprint?"
"Have."
Shen Li took out the picture from her sleeve. She and Bai Yao had spent several days drawing it. They drew it over and over again and didn't know how many sheets of paper they had wasted.
Master Wang took it and examined it for a moment before looking up at Shen Li. "Was this blueprint drawn by the girl?"
There was some excitement in his words, and it was obvious that he had taken a fancy to the furniture in the drawing.
"I didn't draw this, can Master Wang do it?"
