Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1978, the spring of carpenter Peng

There is an open-air market near Chengdu Shuxiangli. Every day, a large number of people come here to sell some things, such as bamboo baskets weaved by themselves, bamboo baskets, wooden tables and chairs made by carpenters, and home-grown Some dishes and the like.

With the influx of a large number of people into the city to work, the huge population has formed a huge market, and all kinds of things have become easier to sell, especially vegetables grown at home, chickens, ducks, geese and so on. It is very easy to sell now, and it looks like there are not enough to sell.

Carpenter Peng is an old carpenter in his 50s. He has worked as a carpenter all his life and has a good hand in carpentry. He usually makes some furniture for everyone. When he is not working, he makes some tables at home. Chairs, stools and the like are sold.

As usual, Carpenter Peng brought his son to sell the canceled tables and stools. Recently, the business has been getting better and better. Tables, chairs and the like are very easy to sell, but they are often not enough to sell.

"Tables and chairs~"

Carpenter Peng's son, Laosan Peng, is in his early thirties, and he has worked with Carpenter Peng for more than ten years as a carpenter. Now something has happened, but his ambition does not seem to be in carpentry.

But there is no way, although Carpenter Peng has several sons, only the third son Peng has grown up, married and established a business, so the work of this carpenter still needs to be passed on from generation to generation.

"How do you sell this table and chair?"

Wei Tie came to Carpenter Peng's booth, carefully looked at these tables and chairs, and compared them carefully.

Houses in the city are no different than houses in the countryside. The space is limited. When buying tables and chairs, you must measure everything carefully.

Just like the table in front of him, Wei Tie wanted to buy a dining table, but found that the current dining tables are all Eight Immortals tables, and they are all relatively large, occupying a lot of space and space. For new houses with limited space, this Eight Immortals table is very Not suitable anymore.

There are also wardrobes in the room. The current wardrobes are not good either. They do not meet my needs at all, nor do they meet the space and size of the room.

"500 Wen for the desk, and four long benches for you."

"The table and stools are all made by ourselves. Our family has been carpenters for generations. You can rest assured of the materials and workmanship, and the paint is all high-quality paint."

Seeing a customer coming to the door, Peng Laosan also introduced it.

"The table is indeed a good table, and the material is good, but this table is too big, and the space in my house is limited, can you guys help me make a smaller table, and this long bench is too ugly .”

Wei Tie took a closer look and touched it. There is nothing to say about this craftsmanship, it is indeed very good.

Hearing that they have been carpenters for generations, I thought of letting them come to my home and help my home build some cabinets, tables, chairs and so on according to the space in the home.

"How big is your house, and what size do you need?"

When Peng Laosan heard this, he also hurriedly asked.

"Actually, what I need is not only tables and chairs, but also cabinets and so on, but I bought the house in the scholarly space next door, and the size of that house is limited."

"I don't know if you would like to accompany me to take a trip, help me measure the size, and then help us make some wardrobes, beds, dining tables, chairs and so on?"

Wei Tie asked after thinking about it.

This new house is indeed good, but the space is limited. Wei Tie found that some of the furniture he bought were too big. The furniture made by these carpenters relying on traditional sizes was too big.

"Dad~"

When Peng Laosan heard this, he also quickly shouted to Carpenter Peng behind him, this is a big job.

Generally, this kind of door-to-door work is done by carpenters after building a new home. Often a complete set of furniture is prepared for you, and the wages are naturally not low. It is the favorite job of carpenters.

"Go, take a look!"

After listening to Carpenter Peng, he also decided to go and have a look. He had heard that the house in Shuxiang was very nice, so he just had the opportunity to go in and have a look today.

Soon, under Wei Tie's leadership, Peng Carpenter and Peng Laosan also came to Wei Tie's home.

"This eating place is really too small, it simply can't fit the Eight Immortals table!"

After carefully measuring the size, Carpenter Peng couldn't help shaking his head. A house that costs several hundred taels of silver is too small for me.

"So I wondered if I could make a long dining table for me, according to the size of the restaurant."

Wei Tie smiled awkwardly and said.

"No problem, the long dining table is much easier to play than the Eight Immortals table."

Peng Laosan carefully measured the size, and also took out a pen and paper to memorize it.

"Master~"

"And this living room, I also want to make a set of seats and a coffee table for entertaining guests according to the layout of this living room, so that when guests come, they can sit down and chat together."

Wei Tie came to the living room and expressed his needs.

"There is no problem with this. You can use that kind of long chair on three sides, and put a tea table in the middle for making tea."

Carpenter Peng has done carpentry work for many people, and he also did it in rich families, and he has seen many kinds of furniture.

"Just do as you say."

"There is also this room. Every room needs a bed. There is no need for a traditional bed that is too big. It has to be made according to the size of the room. It doesn't matter if it is smaller. The position against the wall is still Need a wardrobe and desk."

"It's better for the wardrobe to be higher, so that you can put more clothes and things. The current wardrobes are too small and too short. I don't think it's suitable. It's better to be able to almost reach the roof. "

Wei Tie brought them to the room and raised his needs.

He went to see some furniture himself, or the size was not suitable, or it was too short or too small, which was always unsatisfactory.

"That's it~"

Carpenter Peng carefully measured the size. This house with a set of hundreds of taels of silver is really too small. There is not much space left for a bed in a room. There is also a wardrobe and a desk. The size can only be made small.

"It can be done, no problem at all."

After carefully measuring, silently calculated, Carpenter Peng felt that the problem was not big, that is, the problem of changing the size, but in fact it was almost the same.

"How much will it cost and how long will it take to make it?"

Wei Tie was also very happy to see that carpenter Peng could do it, so he quickly asked the price.

"Are you going to pack the materials, or do you pay for the materials yourself?"

Carpenter Peng thought for a while and asked, usually when doing work at the door, the other party has to provide the materials themselves, but looking at the situation of Wei Tie's family, it is obvious that they have to pack the materials.

"Of course, you have to report the materials. You can do it at home. After you finish it, you can come to my house to assemble it, or just move it in."

"I'm quite busy here, and I don't have time to buy vegetables, cook for you or something, and this house only has this set, and I have to live in it, so I can't spare it to do carpentry work."

Wei Tie also directly stated his problem.

"Also~"

"How about this, I will give you 5 taels of silver, and I will do all the packing, transportation, and painting for you. Ten days will be enough."

Carpenter Peng thought about it and quoted a price and time.

Wood is available at home, and many of them have been prepared in advance. It is not difficult to process. I have two fathers and sons, plus a few grandchildren who are already in their teens. In fact, a few days are enough, mainly for brushing. Paint also takes time to dry, and it doesn't take more than one coat.

"5 taels of silver~ just 5 taels of silver, as long as it's done."

Wei Tie silently calculated, although 5 taels of silver is more expensive, but if you can feel the size of your house to buy suitable furniture, it is also very cost-effective.

Carpenter Peng received a deposit of two taels of silver from Wei Tieer, and happily went home to work.

If you want to talk about the craftsmanship of this carpenter Peng, there is really nothing to say. It only takes a few days to finish all the intensification Wei Tie needs, and it takes a few more days to paint it. Send it to Wei Tie's house.

All the furniture was made according to the size of Wei Tiejun's house, and it just fit very well after assembly, which made Wei Tie very satisfied.

"Good, good, really good, just the right size."

Wei Tie looked at it carefully and measured it carefully. I have to say that this carpenter Peng is really good at craftsmanship, and the size is not bad at all. Whether it is a bed, a wardrobe, or a desk, it is just right to make full use of the space.

"Wei Tie, the furniture has been brought into your house."

"Hey, your furniture is really good, it's really suitable, mine is different, the ones I bought are either too big and take up space, or they're too ugly and not practical enough. "

When Wei Tie's house was entering the furniture, the neighbor next door also happened to come over to see it, and couldn't help admiring the furniture after seeing it.

"Haha, this furniture is made by Mr. Peng, according to the size, you can also ask him for help."

When Wei Tie heard this, he quickly recommended Carpenter Peng to his neighbors. As a result, Carpenter Peng successfully received a new order again. As time went by, Carpenter Peng's reputation spread in the community. Let's find Carpenter Peng. More and more people are playing furniture.

This made Carpenter Peng both happy and troubled.

The happy thing is that there is a lot of work to do, and the profit is quite considerable. Basically, a set will cost five or six taels of silver. It will take a few days to get it done. At least half of the profit will be calculated. You have to earn dozens of taels of silver a month.

The worrying thing is that there is too much work, and this is simply too busy, which makes people sad.
