Chapter 436: Your two dollars are really not in vain!
"Firecrackers, tofu, candies, milk tofu, milk skins, couplets... Just put down these fireworks and leave it to our village to put it up ourselves. It will be lively this year too, so other villages can see it!"

"Fine!"

Sun Jianping took out a pencil and checked off the item "Fireworks". Lao Cao glanced at it again and said, "More or less, these are the only things that can be used. Lao Cheng, you went to Xiaoxi Mountain. They Are you still selling the whole broom cover curtain this year?”

"Seems to be."

"These people can't come up with anything new."

"Uncle, do you think we can sell more this year than last year?"

Sun Jianping asked with a smile, Lao Cao frowned, "I can't tell, this year only our village will collect more grain, other places are still the same, just calculate how much you can earn, old Carpenter Hao from Three Trees is here , he is building cabinets in your new house, go and take a look and ask him to measure the dimensions carefully, and don’t cut them into pieces."

"Well, uncle, I'll go there first!"

When Sun Jianping heard that the carpenter had arrived, he was overjoyed. Miss Qian had been looking forward to the stars and the moon for a long time!

"Slow down and don't fall!"

Lao Cao couldn't help laughing when he saw him running home in a panic!
Brat!
As soon as Sun Jianping arrived at the door of his house, he saw Xiaodoubao squatting at the door. Seeing him coming, he immediately ran over wagging his tail. He picked up Xiaodoubao, opened the door and walked in.

The room was full of light yellow sawdust. One man was bald, his hair was messy and full of sawdust. He had a pencil tip in his ear and a cigarette in his mouth. He was holding a saw to cut the entire thick yellow glass. The wood broke into planks.

Wang Wang Wang!
Xiaodoubao wagged his tail and said hello to this "outsider"!

"I'm busy, Master!"

Sun Jianping took out a box of Yunyan from his pocket and handed it over. Carpenter Hao was not polite, took it and kicked it into his pocket, "Your old man is quite decent. He left you such a good piece of wood. Now he is going through dozens of it." You can’t find such thick yellow glass anywhere in the mountain!”

Sun Jianping chuckled, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

"You don't need to rest, I can do this work myself!"

Carpenter Hao waved his hand, telling him to stay away and not to disturb his work.

Sun Jianping scratched his head a little, but after thinking about it, he felt relieved.

A craftsman! More or less, he has a weird temper!
He went outside to grab a bundle of firewood and burned the kang. The cold room gradually warmed up. Sun Jianping looked inside along the crack in the door and saw that he was swiftly breaking two pieces of yellow glass wood into more than a dozen equal pieces. Take a piece of board, then use a plane to smooth the surface, use a chisel to cut out the mortise and tenon structure at both ends, and then nail it on, and soon one side will be ready.

"What a nice piece of wood!"

Carpenter Hao touched the smooth planed wood and was full of praise.

"Well, young man, come and see if you can do something so good?"

Carpenter Hao shouted into the outhouse. Sun Jianping looked at it and shook his head, "It doesn't have to be that high. It's too high for my wife to take things."

"Then why don't you call your wife here and see what she wants? Don't end up with us men having an affair and this old lady falling out again..."

When Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, Xiaodoubao ran to the door of the house and barked twice. The door creaked open and Qian Huijun hurried in. "Jianping, is the carpenter who nailed the cabinets here?"

"Well, you go inside and see how high it is."

"Okay!"

Miss Qian's eyes flashed as she pushed the door open and entered the room. She stepped on the sawdust with her feet, making a tiny crunching sound. She tilted her head to look at the slightly formed wooden cabinet and shook her head, "Let's be five centimeters shorter! It's too high." Stuff is laborious.”

"Look, I said it was raised..." Carpenter Hao complained, took off two boards from the bottom, cut them with a saw, and then nailed them back on, "Is that okay this time?"

"That's enough, Master Kuai!"

"What's the matter? My daughter, please go out first. The floor is full of planes, chisels and the like. Don't prick your feet."

Carpenter Hao kicked them both out unceremoniously, slammed the door, and banged it.

The two stood at the door and looked at each other. What are they doing?
Not allowed to be seen? Afraid of stealing from your master?
"Come in and take a look again!"

After a while, the door opened again. Carpenter Hao sat on the edge of the kang, opened the pack of Yunyan cigarettes that Sun Jianping gave him, took out one and smoked it happily, "These cigarettes are good, Yunyan, they are quite expensive!"

"good!"

Sun Jianping picked up the ruler and measured it, then opened the cabinet and took a look inside. The yellow glass wood that had just been broken exuded a unique fragrance. It was indeed the best wood.

"I think there's nothing wrong with it. Where are you, wife?"

Qian Huijun's face turned red when she was called "daughter-in-law". She checked it carefully again and again to confirm that there was nothing wrong, and nodded, "I feel pretty good too."

"That's okay..."

Carpenter Hao smoked a cigarette and packed up his chisels, planes, ink fountains, scroll saws, etc. The two of them thought he was leaving and hurriedly asked him to stay.

"Let's go after dinner!"

"Why are you walking? We haven't finished our work yet!" Carpenter Hao chuckled and waved his hand, "You two get busy first!"

boom!
The two of them were "cleared" again!

Carpenter Hao opened the canvas schoolbag he brought with him and took out a few small boxes. When he opened it, he found that there were all kinds of oil paints inside. He was holding a brush and holding a cigarette in his mouth. He squatted in front of the cabinet and made gestures, then picked up the brush and painted it first. Apply a coat of primer.

After finishing the white primer, he held his chin in his hand and meditated for a moment, then painted...

With a wave of his hand, a black line was drawn straight out!
With just one hand, it would take ten years of effort to draw it!
He first painted a thick black border around the wooden cabinet, then changed a brush, dipped it in green oil paint, and with a few strokes, he outlined a cluster of orchids. Then he dipped it in pink, and twisted his fingertips left and right, blossoming. The beautiful little orchid comes to life in the painting, and seems to move with the wind at any time!

Use another pen, dip it in light blue, and with one stroke, several "clouds" will float in the "sky", thin and broken, across the sky!

Carpenter Hao casually swayed thick oil paint, and outlined a beautiful classical scenery between the dimensions. Soon, under the indifferent clouds, a group of birds spread their wings and soared. Below, the pavilions, clear waters and green mountains were like magic. It seems to show up bit by bit.

He looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction, picked up his pen, and wrote four small characters with iron paintings and silver hooks in the blank space in the lower left corner!
"Sky light and cloud shadow!"

Signed by Hao Shijie!
"Come in and take a look!"

The door opened, and the young couple looked at the beautiful scenery outlined on the cabinet with surprised faces. They couldn't help but secretly praise that the countryside is really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers!
In such a small place, there are such skilled carpenters and painters!

"So lovely!"

Qian Huijun squatted in front of the cabinet, holding her chin and carefully admiring the beautiful scenery drawn by rural artists, with a smile on her face!
"Okay!"

Seeing that his master was satisfied, Carpenter Hao also grinned, showing his big yellow teeth.

A compliment from his master is the greatest compliment to him!

"It's getting late, I have to hurry back and settle the money first!"

"how much is it?"

"A set of cabinets is 1.2 meters long. It has broken boards, planed boards, nail boards, painted oil and painting. No matter what, you have to give me three yuan. For the sake of Lao Cao, I will give you an eight. Come on, give me two dollars and a half!"

"I'll give you three yuan. This is also a craft job, and the craftsmen can't suffer." Sun Jianping took out three yuan and saw a dozen boards lying on the ground. "Well, master, I'll give you two more yuan. You can See if you can help me make something else?"

"Two more pieces?" Hao Carpenter's eyes gleamed!
Why not earn two more yuan if you can?

"Yes, look, there are quite a few boards left here. Make me a rolling pin, a pot lid, and the entire clothes rack, the kind that is hung on the wall in the city. I will draw a drawing for you. The remaining wood, You can help me get something better!"

"Young man, these two dollars of yours are really well spent!"

After hearing his request, Carpenter Hao looked troubled.

　Happy Lunar New Year everyone!
　　Please vote for me, brothers!
