The carpenter is cutting the wood with a saw. The wood is thick and the outer bark has been peeled off by him.

The voice was full of rhythm. Carpenter Lin was old after all. The voice stopped after a while. He put down the saw in his hand, clenched his hands into fists and beat his sore back. The wrinkles on his forehead appeared, and he wiped the sweat from his forehead , looked up at the big sun in the sky, and prepared to go inside to rest for a while.

"Daddy, Daddy..." A voice came from the door.

Carpenter Lin half-closed his eyes and looked towards the door.

Carpenter Lin's son hurried into the yard with excitement on his face.

"What are you shouting for?" Carpenter Lin dragged his voice, turned around and continued walking inside, scooping up a handful of water from the water tank placed in the main room to drink.

The dry throat was soothed by the water, and Carpenter Lin sat down casually.

"Father, didn't I go to the town to buy things? I just happened to see Mrs. Gu's store opening. The fan she made in our store is very popular. Many people have asked. If we go out to sell it, it will be a fortune." A lot of money."

Carpenter Lin looked up at him lazily, "When Mrs. Gu asked us to make this fan, she said that the design of this thing cannot be passed on to the public, and we cannot make it privately."

"That's just a verbal agreement. Daddy, if we sell the fans, we will definitely make a lot of money!" Thinking of the scene where the money was counted until the hands were soft, Carpenter Lin's son was so excited that he wanted to take it quickly. things to sell.

Carpenter Lin seemed to sigh, money and silk have touched people's hearts since ancient times.

Those who rely on craftsmanship to eat, pay attention to the word "faith". If you lose your credibility, your reputation will be ruined.

"How do you know Mrs. Gu didn't sign the contract with me?"

Hearing his father's words, the young man's expression changed immediately, and he subconsciously denied, "Impossible, I was there when Mrs. Gu came to look for you. She just said to keep you secret, but she didn't bring the contract with her. .”

"She later sent someone to bring the contract for me to sign."

If she is really so negligent, it is impossible to do business.

"Where do you think such a generous reward comes from?" Carpenter Lin asked his son.

His son's face was still a bit unwilling, and he was jealous of the fan. He wondered how Mrs. Gu paid him so much. Looking at Mrs. Gu's generous appearance, he thought that Mrs. Gu was a noble person who didn't understand ordinary affairs, and he was lucky Got a big deal.

Now that I know the inside story, I suddenly feel that the money given is a bit small.

"You want to buy it out for just a small amount of money? If you sell this fan to those rich men, you can make more money than Mrs. Gu!" Venting his dissatisfaction with the salary, Lin Carpenter's son still tried to find a way Convince Carpenter Lin, hoping he will change his mind.

After all, although Carpenter Lin didn't talk much, he was the master of the family.

Moreover, Carpenter Lin's craftsmanship is much better than that of his son, even the gentlemen in the town sometimes send people to Carpenter Lin to make things.

Carpenter Lin shook his head, "Don't think about it, since we have an agreement with him first, no matter how much our things can sell for, it has nothing to do with us."

"But……"

"Okay, hurry up and make a bench. I haven't finished the work in the village yet. I think about unrealistic things all day long." Carpenter Lin interrupted him, stood up, and continued to grab logs outside.

Carpenter Lin's son was a little annoyed that his father was a brainless person. He walked around the main room a few times impatiently, and then went to his own room to discuss the matter with his wife.

"What, really?"

"Why should I lie to you?"

"If according to what you said, there is a master who wants to buy it at 80 taels, that is really a sky-high price!"

"Then Mrs. Gu asked Dad to make a set of fans, and it was only 50 taels plus the hush money, and the middle 30 taels are all free! Selling one is enough for us for several years."

"No."
