Chapter 202: High Price and High Requirements, Let Me Say It First…
Chapter 202
Cousin Lin stayed behind to look after the luggage, while Lin Mujin and the other two went to the town government again.
As soon as I entered the yard, I saw a lot of cars.
Bicycles, ox carts, donkey carts...
There were also quite a few people gathered together talking.
Because he spoke too fast and for too long, Lin Mujin said she couldn't understand.
Fortunately, Mayor Niu and the others came out.
Mayor Niu asked everyone to be quiet. "I asked you to come here for a reason. You're all the most skilled craftsmen in the area. See if you can weave this kind of furniture. Miss Weng, please explain it to me."
Weng Nuan was already a skilled worker. He took out the blueprint and began to explain it in detail.
This time she also had an interpreter, Mayor Niu translated for fear that the people below might not understand.
Weng Nuan continued, "Our prices are five yuan for a bamboo chair, three yuan for a stool, ten yuan for a long table, and ten yuan for a screen..."
There was a buzzing sound from below.
How could I not be tempted when I heard that there was money to be made, and it was so generous.
Even Mayor Niu said, "Isn't this price too high? Bamboo is not worth much."
Lin Mujin said, "Bamboo is not valuable, but your craftsmanship is valuable, and so is your time."
Then he changed the subject, "But our requirements are also high."
That means this money is not easy to get.
Weng Nuan has already distributed the drawings and asked everyone to ask her for help if they have any questions. With government staff helping with translation, communication is still possible.
After more than half an hour, the noise quieted down a little.
Weng Nuan trotted over. "Tomorrow they'll come with bamboo silk, bamboo, and tools, and weave it on the spot. If it's acceptable, we'll pay you right away."
Lin Mujin nodded. This was something they had discussed. "Okay."
The crowd began to disperse.
She spoke a few words to Mayor Niu and the secretary and prepared to leave, saying she would come back tomorrow.
Mayor Niu invited them to his house for dinner, but Lin Mujin quickly declined.
Retreat quickly.
After leaving the town government compound, Lin Mujin slowed down and said, "Let's ask if there are any restaurants."
You still have to eat dinner.
This is a good beginning.
These old craftsmen have real skills. They just have never woven such furniture before, not that they don't know how to do it.
Jingzhu furniture is a combination of bamboo and bamboo weaving. To put it bluntly, it does not have a particularly high technical content.
And even without her, such furniture would have been developed soon.
The three of them searched for more than half an hour but couldn't find a restaurant.
This is so embarrassing. I might as well agree to Mayor Niu's treat.
What now?
The three of them looked at each other, but they couldn't let a living person die from holding his urine.
Finally, the three of them returned to their rented house and took the money to buy food from their neighbor.
They spent two yuan to buy four bowls of rice, a serving of stir-fried vegetables, a plate of scrambled eggs, a serving of fish in fermented black beans and half a bowl of chili sauce.
Lin Mujin scooped some chili sauce and mixed it with the rice, which tasted great with the small fish.
Cousin Lin ate with a hissing sound, he thought it was too spicy.
Lin Mujin said, "I've also ordered rice porridge and boiled eggs for breakfast tomorrow morning. Mr. Wang, please ask where to buy groceries tomorrow so we can buy some meat."
Then she gave it to the neighbor to make, otherwise she couldn't stand eating vegetables every day, she's not a rabbit.
Although chili sauce tastes good, you can’t eat it every day. If you eat too much, your anus will suffer.
Wang Anbao naturally had no objection, as he also wanted to eat meat.
After dinner, Wang Anbao walked around the house twice.
Lin Mujin didn't bother them and simply washed herself with Weng Nuan while she boiled some water.
Then he went back to the house.
Lin Mujin took out the sheets, quilt covers and pillowcases.
After thinking about it, I made the bed.
Place the pillowcase directly on top of the pillow.
As for the quilt cover, I just used it as a quilt.
It's already very hot now, and I won't be taking off my clothes, so a double-layer quilt is enough.
"Weng Nuan, I don't want to go to the bathroom." Lin Mujin couldn't make up her mind.
Weng Nuan's face wasn't looking good either. "Let's go together."
Lin Mujin sighed, "Go ahead."
She couldn't hold it in all night.
Lin Mujin rushed in holding her breath.
He ran out with his pants held up, gasping for breath after running a long way.
Weng Nuan did the same thing.
The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
Lin Mujin muttered, "I'll drink less water tomorrow."
Weng Nuan reminded him, "There must be a toilet at the town government."
Lin Mujin clapped her hands, "Yes!"
She was determined not to use this dry toilet. The wooden board was so thin that she was trembling with fear.
Afraid of splashing...
Can't think about it anymore.
When she went back to the room and lay down, Lin Mujin thought she would not be able to sleep, but she fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow.
I woke up early the next day.
But the neighbor woke up earlier and brought them breakfast.
White rice porridge, boiled egg and half a bowl of kimchi.
Lin Mujin's food tastes quite refreshing.
After dinner, Cousin Lin was still kept, and the others went to the government compound.
Craftsmen arrived one after another and brought with them a lot of materials.
Lin Mujin was curious and didn't know how bamboo turned into thin threads.
Someone has already started making it.
She looked at this and that as if she was seeing something strange.
Their hand speed is really fast.
One master's lantern has already taken shape.
Lin Mujin is not responsible for acceptance, that job is Weng Nuan's, and she only cares about paying.
She brought three hundred yuan today and didn't know if she could give it away.
Weng Nuan was checking the lantern very carefully and finally nodded.
Take out paper and pen to record, an oval lantern with a bamboo frame, and 50 cents from Chen Dalei of Dagouhe team.
The record is very detailed.
"Boss, the check is fifty cents."
Lin Mujin was embarrassed because she didn't have fifty cents.
In the end, the government staff went to the supply and marketing cooperative to exchange the coins and finally settled the bill.
Seeing that she really kept her word and would pay immediately as long as the quality met the standards, the masters became even more enthusiastic.
"This screen doesn't meet the standards," Weng Nuan said firmly. "You can see for yourself that it's not detailed enough, and the thickness is uneven."
The other party was relentless and spoke sharply and quickly.
The staff started to scold him directly, but it seemed that the other party was not convinced.
Weng Nuan also refused to give in.
Lin Mujin naturally serves her own employees, so there is nothing wrong with her strict requirements on quality.
Some people are hoping to get the money as soon as possible, because each piece of furniture has a limited quantity and will not be collected indefinitely, so those who are faster can definitely earn more money.
But I didn't expect Weng Nuan to be so strict and ruthless.
At this time, Mayor Niu came out and started scolding them, and they became quiet after being scolded.
The screen was kicked aside.
That man is quite honest.
Mayor Niu apologized, "I'm sorry, Miss Lin. These people don't have any bad intentions, they just want to make more money. I scolded them, and they don't dare to do it anymore."
Lin Mujin's anger had subsided a lot. She had originally planned to let the man go and not accept his goods anymore.
Mayor Niu then said to the crowd, "Everyone, work hard. If you don't pass the test, you won't get a penny!"
Lin Mujin asked Mayor Niu to translate for her. "I have a lot of requirements. You might work hard all day and still not be qualified. So please think carefully about whether you want to continue."
It's better to say some ugly things upfront.
