Chapter 217
Listening to what Chu Ge said, Xiu Niang thought he was talking about running out of lumber in the shop, so she said, "If there is no more lumber, why don't you go to Brother Cao to get it? Didn't Second Brother Liu bring it for us earlier?" how."

Chu Ge still thought that Xiu Niang didn't understand, so he said, "Xiu Niang, I mean, there is no wood in our house at Brother Cao's."

Xiu Niang felt strange when she heard that Liu's brothers came over with the wood, and she counted and put it into the warehouse. She had calculated it before, and it would not be a problem to make a thousand or eight hundred boards with those wood materials. There was still some material left in the wooden workshop, why is it that Chu Ge can't say enough now?

Chu Ge seemed a little helpless this time. According to what Xiu Niang said just now, the wood in their warehouse is indeed more than enough, but what they want to make this time is a dual-purpose board, one side is wide and the other is narrow. The folks here have never made anything before, and they often make mistakes.

Originally, Chu Ge Chu Fu and Old Man Li had warned everyone, but when they came to their senses, the board under their hands had already been chiseled by more than half, and all of them had been chiseled into that wide groove. This kind of mistake , and made more mistakes on the guys in the night group.

That's why Chu Ge and Chu Fuli old man walked around the workshop from time to time, watching the guys work and reminding them, but that's it, they couldn't take care of all of them.

In the last two days, Chugo thought about asking the guys to change the method. The guys during the day cut half of the wide grooves, and the rest of the guys cut narrow grooves at night. This is better, but the wide grooves were cut before. Too much material was wasted, and there was not much material to make another three hundred boards.

After Chu Ge finished talking, he looked at Xiu Niang, "If there is still material in our library, brother and I don't have to hang around here for a long time."

Chu Fu thought about it and said, "Sisters and sisters, I just thought about it, why don't we go to the wood shops in the town and look for it, maybe we can get some wood."

Old man Li said beside him, "Hey, that's right, let's spend more money, at least get the rest of the board out first."

After listening, Xiu Niang waved her hands and said, "Uncle Li, brother, I think it's better to forget about the method you mentioned."

Chu Fu and old man Li asked, "Hey, why, we didn't steal it, we bought it for money."

Xiu Niang said, "I didn't mean that, I mean, although we are a panel maker, we are still in the same business as those wooden shops in the back street. They saw that our business was good, so they took over They definitely feel uncomfortable with that big bill in the palace, let alone helping us with the business, even if they have wood, they won’t sell it to us.”

She looked at Chu Ge and continued, "And if we go, people may have to make some sarcastic remarks, so I won't bother with it."

Chu Ge looked at Xiu Niang, nodded, and said dumbly, "Xiu Niang is right."

Old man Li gave Chu Ge a look, and you said everything your wife said was right, "Then what should we do now, the delivery will be delivered in the afternoon, and we still need about three hundred boards!"

Xiu Niang thought for a while, and said to Chu Ge, "Why don't we go find Qiangzi again and ask him to help us talk in front of Manager Huang. We owe him about three hundred boards first, and wait for him There is wood in two days, let's call a car to send them to the palace."

"What's the matter? It's not that our board is not good. It's really expected. That steward Huang gave us the list because he saw it well. Chu Ge shook his head and said, "Let's forget it. Xiuniang, we can't look for this Qiangzi. The day before yesterday Qiangzi sent over the bank note for this bill, and told me specifically, don't let the people in the palace know about his relationship with us, especially This manager Huang, he hates people who go through the back door the most. "

Xiu Niang blurted out, "We didn't go through the back door. We also took the board that day, and let Manager Huang and Deputy Manager He see it. They had to be good, so they gave us the list."

Before Chuge could speak, old man Li pointed at Xiuniang with his fingers and said, "Girl, didn't you ask Qiangzi to arrange something in front of Manager Huang, or why would Manager Huang choose again?" This is the washboard."

Xiu Niang raised her eyebrows, we are not going through the back door. "

Old man Li stared, "Yo, girl, if you still call it the back door, then my old man won't know what it is."

Chu Ge walked between old man Li and Xiu Niang to prevent the two older children from arguing. He said, "Xiu Niang, the second brother Liu sent us the board, and did you say when he would come again?"

Xiu Niang thought for a while, then frowned, "I seem to have heard Second Brother Liu say that before that, he would give us boards every half a month. It's been ten or so days, and logically speaking, it should be here..."

"Gluck... cluck..."

Before she finished speaking, there was a knock on the door in the backyard, and everyone in the yard looked over.

Chu Ge and Xiu Niang were stunned. Together with Chu Fu and Old Man Li, the four of them glanced at each other and thought the same thing in their hearts. Could it be that Liu's brother sent the board over!

Xiu Niang first called the guy at the door to open the door to have a look, and after a while, she stood there, and he responded, turned around and opened the door to go out.

Chu Fu smiled and told Chu Ge to old man Li that he would leave the wood in the car for a while, and then unload it into the warehouse later, calling for the guys to make the washboard first.

Xiu Niang heard that the problem was solved, and she didn't want to get involved here, so she talked about going to the second floor to settle accounts. Just when Chu Ge mentioned it, she realized that she still had the bank note that Qiang Zi sent the day before yesterday. It's in the drawer. It's safe to deposit it in the bank today and tomorrow.

"Hey hey hey, you, who are you, what are you doing... why are you rushing straight in!"

"You don't know who I am... Oh, come on, little brother, let me in first, don't delay your little shopkeeper's business later!"

"No, no, what are you doing from the garden wood company to come to us..."

"Hey, why are you so screwed up, kid? I said something was wrong... Hey, that little shopkeeper, that little shopkeeper!"

When Xiu Niang and Chu Ge heard this, they all turned their heads and saw that the three were blocking the door, preventing Che Lao from turning in.

The old car guai was blocked and refused to let him in, so he let him go and greeted Chu Ge, thinking about letting him come over.

Chu Ge and Xiu Niang glanced at each other, wondering why the car was turning around, and Xiu Niang's face sank. She thought to herself, maybe that Shan Zi was watching outside again these two days, waiting Seeing that something went wrong in their wood workshop today, they ran to the Yuanmu shop to report that this old car boy was here to gloat.

She followed Chu Ge over, and didn't give Che Laoguai a good look. Chu Ge patted San'er on the shoulder and told him to step aside. Che Laoguai thought that Chu Ge wanted to let him in. , let Chugo stop him.

Che Laoguai looked up at Chu Ge, and said resentfully, "Oh, little shopkeeper, you let me in to talk."

Chu Ge looked at Che Laoguai's attitude, which was quite different from before, and he looked even more strange, "No need, let's just talk, my yard is also quite messy."

Hearing what Chu Ge said, Che Laoguai also stood at the door in a regular manner. He saw that the backyard of Chu Ge's house was a small alley, and it also ended in an alley. Usually, no one came, and when it was not raining, Chu Ge and the others He even threw the wood outside, and it’s okay to ignore it all night. This is what Shanzi said when he was watching him before. If they put their own boards outside, they would have sent people there to burn them as firewood.

Chu Ge was originally waiting for Che Laoguai to speak, but seeing him looking at the entrance of his yard inexplicably, he was even more confused.

"Ahem," Xiuniang coughed twice with a sullen face, and brought Che Laoguai back to her senses, "I said Che Laoguai, tell me what you have to do, we are very busy here, we don't have time to spend time with you It's exhausting." San'er stood by, listened to what Xiu Niang said, and nodded fiercely.

Facing Xiuniang's sarcastic remarks, Che Laoguai still didn't react much. He just nodded and smiled, looking very sincere, but in Xiuniang's eyes, it was an adulterous face. , and said to Chu Ge, "Little shopkeeper, your wood is not enough..."

"Enough! San'er, close the door!"

Before Che Laoguai could finish speaking, Xiu Niang was furious. She pulled Chu Ge back a step and shouted.

"Hey!" San'er stepped forward very cooperatively, grabbing the door panel with both hands to close it.

Che Laoguai was taken aback, and hurriedly reached out his hand to stop him, "Hey, hey, wait a minute, I, I haven't finished talking."

"What are you talking about, what do you guys from the garden wood company have to say here!" Wang Er also came forward, pushing the door panel to help San'er close the door.

Che Laoguai didn't understand very much. He didn't say anything just now, so he pissed off the little shopkeeper's daughter-in-law. Oops, he didn't finish what Erye Yang told him. , then he will have to be trained when he goes back.

"Hey, hey, little shopkeeper, listen to me... I, I... Hey, you two should wait a little longer..."

While Che Laoguai was blocking the door vigorously, he was yelling inside. Muzi saw it and came over to help push the door open. When the back door closed, Che Laoguai used his last bit of strength to speak.

"Well, that little shopkeeper, I am here this time to deliver wood to you for my master. He still has something to say, and he wants me to thank, thank you... Hey, hey..." Fortunately, Che Laoguai hurriedly retracted his hands. Arriving in front of him, the door was almost squeezed just now.

Che Laoguai looked at his palms, then at the closed back door in front of him, curled his lips and walked outside, if Yang Erye hadn't asked him to come and do something earlier, he wouldn't have come to take this anger Miles, he can easily drive a car in the park, no better than anything else!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, he stopped before he had gone far, turned around and walked up the stone steps, just as he raised his leg and wanted to kick a few times towards the back door (pretentiously), the door suddenly opened...
