The film and television city starts from the courtyard

After Zhao Shucheng and the others had lunch, Ma Qiushan went back to his old place to meditate, Xu Hongdou sat on a chair and teased the kitten, and Zhao Shucheng went back to the house to rest.

After Zhao Shucheng got up from his lunch break, he saw Xu Hongdou watering the flowers in the yard rather bored.

"Hongdou, didn't you take a break?"

"No, I'll water the flowers first!"

"Okay, by the way, I'm going out for a while, do you want to go together?"

Xu Hongdou asked curiously, "What are you doing, are you going outside for a walk?"

"No, I think there are still things missing in this yard."

Xu Hongdou looked at the yard after hearing it, and asked in confusion, "What's missing?"

"There is a lack of reclining chairs. It's not very comfortable to go back to the room to rest after eating, or lie in the gazebo, so I want to go outside to see if there are any for sale."

"It doesn't seem to be sold in the village, right? Can't you order one online?"

Zhao Shucheng said with a smile: "I still want to see if there is one that can be used directly, if not, just make one myself."

"Make one yourself? Do you still have such skills? Can you do it?"

"That must be done. I know a lot of things. Besides, I can play comfortably, and I can rest assured about the materials. That's fine, I'll go out first."

In fact, Xu Hongdou didn't really believe that Zhao Shucheng could make a recliner by himself. He thought that he might have bought the parts and assembled it himself, so he didn't want to go with Zhao Shucheng.

"That's all right, you go, I'll take a rest later."

Zhao Shucheng walked around the village, but found no place selling deck chairs, and finally came to Xie Heshun's woodcarving shop, wanting to ask where their wood comes from, so he ordered some himself, and then made it himself recliner.

Xie Heshun watched Zhao Shucheng come in, and said, "Look at whatever you want."

"I'm not here to buy wood carvings. Where do you buy the wood here? I want to buy some wood."

Xie Heshun looked at Zhao Shucheng curiously, and asked, "You are so strange, why do you buy wood? You are not from our village, so you don't come here to buy wood from us, do you?"

"I'm here for tourism, and I live in the windy courtyard, and I want to buy a recliner for myself."

Xie Xiaoxia was a little surprised when she heard it, and asked, "Do you live in the windy courtyard?"

"That's right." Zhao Shucheng looked at Xie Heshun and said, "Can you tell me where I can buy the wood?"

"We can do it here, but are you sure you do it yourself? We can also process it for you here, and then assemble it."

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "No need, I can do it myself."

Speaking of which, Zhao Shucheng went to the warehouse with Xie Heshun, and began to choose wood according to the amount of wood he needed for his recliner.

After the selection was completed, Zhao Shucheng said: "Master, can I trouble you to send it to the small courtyard?"

"No problem at all."

"OK, thanks!"

After Zhao Shucheng left the woodcarving shop, he took out his mobile phone to call Xie Xiaochun, and asked, "Hey, Xiaochun, are there any tools for processing wood in the courtyard?"

Xie Xiaochun was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand what Zhao Shucheng wanted the wood processing tools for, but he still said: "There are, it's in the utility room next to the small kitchen, you can just look for it, but what do you want this for?"

"I just want to get a recliner, so I need tools."

"Then just go find it."

"Ok!"

When Zhao Shucheng was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something, and walked back to the wood carving shop again. Seeing that Xie Heshun was preparing to load the wood into the car, he walked over.

Xie Heshun thought that Zhao Shucheng had repented, that he didn't want wood or that he didn't want to build a deck chair by himself, so he said, "Don't you want it? Or do you want us to make it for you?"

"Master, that's not what I meant. I just thought of it suddenly. This recliner can't be just processed wood, but needs a little modification. I see that you have a complete set of wood carving tools here. I don't know if you have any extras here. I want to borrow a set of tools and return them when I use them up.”

Xie Heshun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that this was the case.You must know that this timber is also a business, and it is better to be able to sell it than to have no business in your store for a few days.

"I have the tools here, they were left by the former apprentices, but are you sure you can get them yourself?"

"Well, I want to try!"

"That's fine, after I finish loading the car, I'll take it for you by the way."

"Okay, thank you master, then I will wait for you in the courtyard."

When Zhao Shucheng returned to the yard, Ma Qiushan was still meditating unmoved, while Xu Hongdou was no longer in the yard, but was resting on the gazebo.

He went directly to the utility room, searched around and found the tool, and carried it outside, while Xie Heshun had already brought the wood.

After unloading the goods, Xie Heshun held up a toolbox and said, "This is a wood carving tool. Are you sure you can really use it yourself? If you don't mind, I can help you carve patterns."

"No, I'll try it myself first. I've learned a little bit before, so it should be fine."

Seeing Zhao Shucheng's persistence, Xie Heshun had no choice but to ask Zhao Shucheng to hand over the woodcarving work to himself, and left behind.

After everyone left, Zhao Shucheng started his carpentry work.With the sound of creaking sawing wood, the tranquility in the yard was broken.

After Xu Hongdou was awakened by the sound, she sat up and looked at Zhao Shucheng who was sawing wood there, and she was stunned for a while before she came to her senses.She didn't expect that what Zhao Shucheng said before was actually true, and she really planned to make a recliner by herself.

Moreover, Zhao Shucheng's movements were very fast, and within a short time, he processed the brought in wood into long strips of wood, and kept stacking them aside.

In fact, Ma Qiushan also heard the movement, although he said that he would not hear the sound when he was meditating, but in fact he just didn't want to answer anyone.Now that the sound is so loud in the yard, it is naturally impossible for there to be no reaction at all.

But it's hard for him to say anything, after all, they all live in this yard, so they can't stop Zhao Shucheng from sawing wood.

Soon Zhao Shucheng finished cutting the required wood, and then started to fix the wood with tools, and then planed the surface of the wood with tools to make it smooth and clean.

Seeing Zhao Shucheng's movements through his squinted eyes, Ma Qiushan couldn't believe it. It would be fine if he was an old carpenter, but Zhao Shucheng's speed is so fast and he is so good, which is rather strange.

Because Xu Hongdou didn't understand the difficulty, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He just felt that Zhao Shucheng had an inexplicable aura when he was working.

About an hour or so later, a prototype of a recliner appeared in the yard, and it seemed that it could be used directly with just a little paint.

However, Zhao Shucheng quickly dismantled the recliner again. Just when Ma Qiushan and Xu Hongdou thought that Zhao Shucheng was going to paint, they saw Zhao Shucheng pick up the tool box that Xie Heshun handed over to him, and took out some wood carving tools , it looks like it needs to be reworked.

At this point, Ma Qiushan and Xu Hongdou became more interested, and they came to Zhao Shucheng one after another, ready to see what Zhao Shucheng was going to do.

I saw Zhao Shucheng put the wood on the table, and then kept chiseling something on the wood with a chisel, changing the chisel from time to time, or starting cutting directly with a wood carving knife.

When one piece of wood is finished processing, put it aside and start processing another piece of wood.

Xu Hongdou held Zhao Shucheng's processed wood curiously, looked at the pattern on it, and asked, "Do you know how to carve wood? I think your pattern is a bit different from what I saw in the wood carving shop before?"

"Of course it's different. Everyone's craftsmanship is different, and the things they make naturally have different styles, and you can't see anything by itself. You can only know if it is good after assembling it."

Xu Hongdou seemed to have found the fun too, so he just sat and watched Zhao Shucheng carve wood, while Ma Qiushan went back to his old place and began to meditate.

Zhao Shucheng said: "Master Ma, won't I disturb your practice?"

"No, you also said that it is a practice, so why is this quiet practice not a kind of practice?"

Zhao Shucheng said with a smile: "Master Ma is transparent, just for what you said just now, your practice is not low."

Before evening, Zhao Shucheng had processed the wood needed for the reclining chair, even carved patterns and assembled it.

Xu Hongdou looked at the pattern on the recliner and asked, "What pattern did you engrave?"

"Can't you see this, Dragon Rising World!"

Zhao Shucheng looked at the assembled woodcarving and nodded, but soon discovered a problem, that is, there was no paint or wax in this small courtyard.

Xu Hongdou didn't know, but saw that Zhao Shucheng's reclining chair had been completed, and said, "It's done? I'll try it first!"

"I didn't do it well. I'm not a professional after all. I forgot that the wood processing paper needs to be painted and waxed. I'll go out again to see if there is any woodcarving shop. If not, I can only order online or go to the ancient city. gone."

"That's fine, you go."

Xu Hongdou looked at the recliner on the balcony on the second floor and said to Zhao Shucheng.

Seeing Zhao Shucheng coming again, Xie Heshun couldn't help but feel a little strange with his own woodcarving toolbox in his hand. Could it be that he didn't know how to use it, so he sent it back?

"You are this?"

"The recliner has been assembled, but I found that the most critical thing is missing, that is, it has not been painted and waxed, so I came to see if you have it here."

When Xie Heshun heard that Zhao Shucheng had already made a recliner, he felt that it must be the simplest kind of recliner, the kind made of just a few boards spliced ​​together, so he was not surprised.

"The wood carvings here are never painted, they are all made of wax, do you want to use it?"

Zhao Shucheng said: "It's fine to use wax, and it will save the smell when the time comes."

In fact, there are two kinds of wood furniture decoration, which are painted and waxed.In fact, it does not mean that both varnish and waxing are used, but in many cases, the lacquer is painted and the waxed is waxed.Varnishing is to protect the furniture, while waxing is more to align the different color differences of the wood.

However, there is a disadvantage of lacquering, that is, it takes a period of time to disperse the smell, and this is a pure natural paint. If it is a chemical product, it needs a long time to disperse the smell to avoid chemicals that are harmful to the body.More importantly, with the passage of time, some paint peeling off of this wooden furniture will seriously affect the appearance.

Waxing is a simple technique, as long as you apply solid wax and then polish it three times to achieve the desired effect.However, it is not without disadvantages, that is, over time, some waxed areas will gradually volatilize, and eventually need to be re-waxed.

When Zhao Shucheng returned to the windy courtyard with the wax block prepared by Xie Heshun, he saw Xu Hongdou already lying on the recliner, looking very enjoying himself.

Xu Hongdou also heard Zhao Shucheng's footsteps, took a look at Zhao Shucheng's return, stood up quickly and said, "Then what, I just want to help you try this recliner to see if it's comfortable."

"So do you feel comfortable?"

"good."

Zhao Shucheng said: "That's good, I'm still worried about what to do when I feel uncomfortable."

As he spoke, Zhao Shucheng began to smear the wood with wax blocks, and then polished it.

Xu Hongdou just experienced the feeling of lying on a deck chair basking in the sun, hesitantly said: "Zhao Shucheng, can you make one for me too, it really feels good to lie on it and bask in the sun when I'm fine."

Zhao Shucheng glanced back at Xu Hongdou, and said, "Of course it's okay, but we can't do it today because we don't have enough wood, let's do it tomorrow!"

"Okay, tomorrow you go pick wood with me, your wood looks too monotonous."

"It doesn't matter what kind of wood you use, the important thing is that it is durable. Don't tell me that you want to make it colorful. I won't do it. It seems that I am too unqualified."

"How come. I just want you to make a deck chair, not a rainbow. By the way, I will also carve patterns on it when the time comes. You are a dragon soaring all over the world, and I want to dance like a phoenix."

Zhao Shucheng looked at Xu Hongdou, and said: "It's fine if you are beautiful, don't think too much about it. Longteng Sihai is a little easier to carve, but Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens is much more difficult, so it is better to choose less difficult ones." A little bit."

"Why, why don't you spend a little time carving it?"

"Xu Hongdou, you seem to have forgotten that I'm here to travel, not to be a carpenter, let alone do some work. It's enough for you to save face, don't pick and choose."

"That's fine, I'll go online later to see what pattern is better, and then print it out, and you can carve it according to the pattern."

"Let's talk about it first. It can't be too cumbersome. It can be completed in an hour or two. It can free up a day for you to make a recliner, and there is no more than one minute."

"Cut, stingy!"

Although Xu Hongdou said so, but looking at Zhao Shucheng's waxed recliner, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

Thinking that I can lie on it when I have nothing to do in the future, either to sleep in the sun, or to tease the cat, or to lie on it and read a book, I feel comfortable thinking about it.

Seeing that Xu Hongdou was still staring at the recliner, Zhao Shucheng said, "Okay, miss, let's stop watching and get ready for dinner!"

Only then did Xu Hongdou come back to his senses, looked at the sky, and said, "Did you have dinner so early?"

"Of course, the dinner time in the countryside is usually after six o'clock when there is no busy farming season. This is also in line with the philosophy of health preservation, and the harmony of yin and yang."

Xu Hongdou actually didn't care what time to eat, but seeing Zhao Shucheng like this, he asked curiously: "Zhao Shucheng, what did you do before? You said that you are so good at cooking and know how to carpenter, so you can't really do it." Have you ever been a carpenter?"

"Didn't I tell you, I started a company before, and it was a regular physical company. Although I don't make furniture, I can understand the drawings, so I'm naturally familiar with making such gadgets."

"Tsk tsk, your craftsmanship is a bit of a waste. If this chair is sold, many people will rush to buy it."

"You can forget it. Although my craftsmanship is good, the cost is too high, and it is difficult to sell."

"How high can this be? Isn't it just the money for some wood and your time for an afternoon?"

Zhao Shucheng said: "It's easy for you to say, my time is not money? It's hard to buy an inch of time, not to mention that I am also a person who is nervous every minute. How much can a wooden recliner sell? Dozens of dollars is very impressive." gone."

After talking to Xu Hongdou, Zhao Shucheng came to the kitchen to cook, but when he saw Ma Qiushan sitting on the side, he said, "Master Ma, do you want to make an exception to have a meal tonight? I apologize for disturbing your cleanliness today."

Hearing what Zhao Shucheng said, Ma Qiushan couldn't help swallowing, although he was still meditating.He thought of the food Zhao Shucheng cooked at noon, it was so delicious that he couldn't help but eat another bowl.

"I won't eat after lunch, but since you said it's an apology, it seems a little unreasonable for me not to eat, so I agreed, but I just tasted it and stopped it."

Seeing that Zhao Shucheng was preparing to cook, Xu Hongdou said, "Do you need my help?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled, and said: "No need, I won't make too rich at night, it's better to make something simple. You just sit here and wait to eat. By the way, Hongdou, you have Nana What is the contact information of Mr. Hu, see when they come back, and see if they want to eat together."

"I don't have Hu Youyu's contact information, but I do have Nana's. She dragged me into the group of Youfeng Xiaoyuan, and I will drag you into it later."

While talking, Nana came back from outside and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Nana, it's just in time for you to come back. Is Zhao Shucheng cooking? We also want to ask you when you will come back and if you want to have dinner together."

"Okay, I just haven't eaten yet, so let's eat together."

But Nana looked at Zhao Shucheng who was busy in the kitchen, whispered to Xu Hongdou, and asked, "Hongdou, tell me the truth, is Zhao Shucheng's cooking delicious?"

Xu Hongdou thought for a while, and said, "I don't know too well, but the noodles in the morning and the bridge rice noodles at noon are both good, so they should be pretty good."

"I don't know, should I? You didn't come to the courtyard together. You don't seem to know each other very well?"

Xu Hongdou looked at Nana strangely, and said, "Of course, we met on the road, so we came here together. You should know about it before?"

"Hey, I see you guys go in and out together all day, I thought you were a couple, but I'm sorry to tell us."

"Don't talk nonsense, we just met by chance."

When people said they were a couple before, Xu Hongdou might not be able to explain it, and if they misunderstood, they misunderstood. They were strangers anyway, and they couldn't get along a few times in total, and they didn't care if others misunderstood.

But now the tenants in the small courtyard are asking, so Xu Hongdou needs to explain, after all, he will live here for three months in the future, if he doesn't explain, they may feel that he is lying when they know the truth .

In this well-decorated, leisurely and comfortable small courtyard, Xu Hongdou lives very comfortably, and she doesn't want to be awkward in the future, and even be rejected by everyone.

Of course, the more important thing is that Zhao Shucheng and her have only known each other for less than two days. Now I really have a good impression of Zhao Shucheng, but if you want to say that you like Zhao Shucheng now, or even have the idea of ​​becoming a couple, this is unrealistic.

Of course, Xu Hongdou did not categorically say that it is impossible to have Zhao Shucheng, after all, the future is unknown, and it is not impossible for the two of them to fall in love with each other for a long time.

Just as the people in the small courtyard were preparing to eat, Xie Zhiyao was also talking to Xie Xiaochun.

After a simple blind date, Xie Zhiyao left contact information with the woman and said goodbye politely.In order to prevent Xie Zhiyao from being perfunctory like before, Xie Xiaochun urged him not to forget to communicate more with the other party on WeChat.

Xie Zhiyao could only reluctantly agree, in order to avoid Xiaochun continuing to talk about this topic, he asked about Xie Xiaoxia.

Xie Xiaochun said that because Xie Xiaoxia met netizens, she was planning to go to Shanghai to visit. She hoped that Xie Zhiyao could persuade her younger brother not to always have unrealistic entrepreneurial dreams, and he was still in a place like Shanghai.

Xie Zhiyao actually understands Xie Xiaoxia's thoughts very well. After all, who doesn't want to venture outside and gain knowledge?So he supported Xie Xiaoxia to go to Shanghai to visit. If it was a trip, it would be a relaxation. If he wanted to work in Shanghai, let him go for a break.

He actually understands very well that if the hometown can create opportunities for young people, who would want to leave their hometown to work in other places?That's why he chose to return to his hometown to start a business after earning a sum of money outside, because he didn't want other people to leave their homes like him and find a job in his hometown.

However, he did not expect that it would be so difficult to start a business in his hometown. Many young people in the village have gone out to work, and most of the rest are old people and children.Most of the enterprises in the village have no color. It is said that there are hotels, cafes, and even ranch woodcarving shops and so on.However, the business in these stores is not very good, otherwise they would not have waited for Xie Zhiyao to take over.

Now Xie Zhiyao is thinking that he can revitalize the sluggish businesses in his hands as soon as possible, and then bring more income to everyone, so that those folks who work far away can come back without having to leave their hometowns.

As for Zhao Shucheng, he places great hopes on him, because Zhao Shucheng can develop his business from a small company to a listed company, which is not something ordinary people can do.However, it is not so easy to ask Zhao Shucheng to help, so he can only find the right time.
