Siheyuan: Fishing for All Things.

"Yangshi Lei." Lei Dali said proudly.

"The royal craftsman." Lin Shaowen was surprised.

In the artisan community of Sijiu City, Yangshi Lei's name is very famous.

Almost all the royal gardens of the Ming and Qing dynasties were built by their family, and they were extremely magnificent.

"They are all the people." Lei Dali said hurriedly.

"Okay, take a look at how much it will cost to renovate my house."

Lin Shaowen understood his concerns and stopped joking.

Lei Dali looked at the blueprint seriously, asked a few more questions, and thought for a long time before he spoke, "Boss, if you want to renovate this house according to your idea, it will be a big project. It will probably take more than half a month to complete it."

"And if we build a toilet in the room, the pipes will have to be re-laid. Fortunately, your house is next to the wall. If it were in the middle courtyard, it would have to cross the entire courtyard, which would be a huge undertaking and others might not agree to it."

"So how much does it cost in total?" Lin Shaowen asked.

"Four hundred, we'll take care of it." Lei Dali quoted a price.

The two apprentices who followed him were shocked. Four hundred yuan would take an ordinary worker two years to save without eating or drinking.

"No problem, but I'll say this in advance. If the work isn't done well, don't blame me for ruining your reputation." Lin Shaowen took out 20 big unity notes and handed them to Lei Dali. "Give me half first. When we get to the final stage, I'll give you another 150. The final payment will be made after the inspection. Is there any problem?"

"No problem, no problem." Lei Dali was overjoyed.

This was the first time he had met such a generous boss. For others, giving a deposit before starting work was already a big deal.

"Oh, by the way, one more thing to ask."

Lin Shaowen whispered, "Brother, you have many connections. Can you help me get some wood for furniture?"

"What kind of wood do you want?" Lei Dali also lowered his voice.

"Can you get Phoebe nanmu? If not, Huanghuali will do. At the very least, you should get some mahogany."

"This……"

Lei Dali glanced at Lin Shaowen and hesitated.

"Don't worry, everyone knows the ropes of this stuff. If it comes from a legitimate source, that would be best. If not... I'll find a way to get the approval document." Lin Shaowen gave him a reassurance.

This is not bragging.

Whether it is the Ministry of Industry or the steel mill, they actually need to use wood. As for what material it is, unless the higher-ups are really too idle and want to go to the steel mill to inspect the wood materials, it is very safe.

"There is a batch of goods, the procedures are formal... but the price is really not cheap." Lei Dali gritted his teeth.

"How expensive is it?" Lin Shaowen asked curiously.

"If you want a full set of furniture, it will cost this much..."

Lei Dali gave a thumbs up.

"one hundred?"

"One thousand, golden nanmu."

"make a deal."

Lin Shaowen nodded and said, "If you help me get the things, I'll give you fifty yuan as an introduction fee."

"Fifty dollars."

Lei Dali's two apprentices swallowed their saliva. This boss was too domineering.

"Okay, wait for my news." Lei Dali agreed immediately.

"When will the construction start?" Lin Shaowen asked again.

"It could have been done today, but since you bought that batch of wood, I asked him to find some other materials and replace it with a better one for you." Lei Dali said with a smile.

"Then I'll wait for your news."

Lin Shaowen immediately developed a favorable impression of Lei Dali.

Although the price of craftsmen these days is not cheap, they really try their best to consider their employers.

Chapter 13 Finally here

Twelve o'clock at midnight.

island.

"Obtained the Qing Nang Book, would you like to study it?"

"study."

Lin Shaowen looked excited.

Finally you've arrived. No matter how ignorant he is, he knows that the Qing Nang Shu is the work of Hua Tuo, and it's a lost book.

Countless pieces of Chinese medicine knowledge flooded into his mind, and this time he was safe.

"The second shot..."

"Obtain 100 kilograms of vegetables."

"unlucky."

Lin Shaowen cursed and threw the fishing rod back into the sea.

half an hour.

"Obtained the Lu Ban Book, would you like to study it?"

"study."

Countless knowledge about carpentry flooded into his mind, making him overjoyed. It was like someone sending a pillow when you are sleepy. He was also thinking about finding a reliable carpenter to make furniture. With the "Lu Ban Book", he could do it himself.

Otherwise he would have to spend a lot of time explaining to the carpenter what he wanted to do.

"sleep."

Lin Shaowen returned to bed contentedly.

The next day.

There was another commotion in the courtyard.

Lei Dali was seen directing the workers to carry wood towards the west wing of the backyard. The bark of the wood had been peeled off, and the revealed patterns amazed many people.

It happened to be the weekend, and everyone in the courtyard came out to watch the fun.

"Where did this kid get so much money?" Yi Zhonghai said gritting his teeth.

"That's right, how long has he only been working here?" Liu Haizhong said sourly.

"This must cost hundreds of dollars, right?" Yan Bugui began to calculate.

"Hundreds? This must be thousands."

The deaf old lady, who rarely came out for a walk, said something shocking.

"Old lady, how much did you say?" Yan Bugui swallowed.

"Boy, do you know what kind of wood this is?" the deaf old lady sneered.

"This... I don't know him." Yan Bugui shook his head.

"Ancestor, what kind of wood is this?" Yi Zhonghai asked anxiously.

Thousands of dollars? Once he figured out the matter, he would report Lin Shaowen.

He had worked diligently for decades and only saved less than 3,000 yuan. How could a young man like Lin Shaowen have thousands of yuan? Even if he didn't steal or rob, he must have gotten it through speculation.

"This is golden nanmu. Emperors used to be buried with this kind of wood." The deaf old lady said enviously.

She is now half buried in the ground. If she can really get a set of golden nanmu coffin, she will die with peace of mind.

"hiss!"

Everyone gasped.

Phoebe nanmu, even though we all live in the old city, this thing only exists in everyone's legends.

"Go report this little beast." Jia Zhang shouted.

"Yes, report him." Liu Haizhong agreed.

Yan Bugui didn't say anything, but it was obvious that he was interested.

"If I report him then, will the wood be confiscated?" Sha Zhu asked curiously.

Even though he cooked a meal for Lin Shaowen, the two of them drank and chatted happily.

But he always stood on the side of the uncle, whose authority was sacred and inviolable.

"Who told you to report it now?" Yi Zhonghai said mysteriously, "You wait until he turns the wood into furniture. If he gets in... whoever applied for the house will own these things."

"Yes." Sha Zhu slapped his forehead.

Sure enough, ginger is still spicy.

"We can't let him turn all of them into furniture either," said the deaf old lady.

Yi Zhonghai immediately understood, "Don't worry, ancestor."

He knew what the deaf old lady was thinking. She just wanted to save some wood for a coffin.

"Ahem, there's a small problem." Liu Haizhong said, "If... I mean if, our house application is not approved by then, what should we do then?"

"If the house application is not approved, can't you move the furniture out?" Jia Zhang said disdainfully.

Everyone looked at each other and tacitly stopped talking.

He Yushui, who had been silent, was shocked, and Qin Huairu was also frightened.

Is it really okay for them to plot against Lin Shaowen so blatantly?

Now Jia Dongxu is still alive, and she has not been broken by life, so she still has some morals.

Lin Shaowen didn't know their plan at this time, and even if he knew, he was too lazy to care.

"Please keep the money." Lin Shaowen gave the money to Lei Dali.

He never asked who the wood belonged to.

"Thank you, boss."

Lei Dali happily hid the money close to his body, and he made fifty dollars in total.

Lin Shaowen patted him on the shoulder and pushed the cart out.

When Yi Zhonghai and others saw Lin Shaowen, they turned their heads away awkwardly.

Lin Shaowen was too lazy to pay attention to them and rode his bike to the supply and marketing cooperative.

When he came back, there was a set of carpenter's tools in the car.

"Xiao Lin, are you... going to make furniture?" Yan Bugui asked in surprise.

"Try it." Lin Shaowen smiled.

"No, we can't try this. What if the wood is destroyed?" Yan Bugui said anxiously.

"Yes, Xiaolin, I know a carpenter. I'll introduce him to you." Yi Zhonghai said hurriedly.

"You little beast, don't do anything rash. If you destroy the wood, you will cry." Jia Zhang also spoke up.

"It's none of your business if I set it on fire, right? You're sick."

Lin Shaowen rolled his eyes and was about to push the bike back to the yard, but was stopped by Jia Dongxu.

"Lin Shaowen, please don't mess around."

"Are you crazy? Why are you pulling my car?" Lin Shaowen said unhappily.

"I... I just think you shouldn't waste things." Jia Dongxu stammered.

"What did I ruin? Did I ruin your wife?" Lin Shaowen blurted out.

brush!

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Qin Huairu.
