Chapter 63: Building Furniture

Carpentry is also a skilled job in rural areas. Although it is not as difficult to become a carpenter master as to become a master carpenter, there is still a certain threshold. Without a master to guide you, it is not difficult to make some simple stools by yourself, but it is more difficult to build a bunk bed and a wardrobe.

Even if you have a talent that God is chasing you to feed you, and you can make it according to the real thing, the speed and quality will definitely not be as good as that of a real carpenter.

Therefore, carpenters are also a very popular profession in rural areas.

Deng Shirong's village has a master of making large jars and a master of construction, but no carpenter.

Therefore, if anyone in their village wants to make some furniture, they usually go to the neighboring Bangba Village to ask a carpenter to make it.

If Deng Shirong wanted to make some furniture in the past, the carpenter from Bangba Village would definitely be the first choice. However, now Zhang Kangmei, the future husband of his niece Deng Changmei, is a carpenter, and he was the one who personally introduced them. Now if there is any carpentry work, he will definitely be hired.

However, because Deng Shirong needed to make a lot of furniture, if he only asked Zhang Kangmei and his son to help, it would definitely not be enough time.

Therefore, Deng Shirong decided that in addition to asking Zhang Kangmei and his son to make furniture, he should also hire a few more carpenters to help, so that all the furniture he wanted could be made in the shortest time possible, and then their family could move into the new house.

Of course, before that, Deng Shirong had to ask a master to choose an auspicious day.

After thinking it through, Deng Shirong went to Deng Yunjin's house.

"Uncle Nine."

Seeing Deng Shirong coming over, Deng Yunjin, who was sitting at the door weaving a vine, greeted him and then shouted inside: "Amei, come out for a moment, Jiugong is here!"

As soon as Deng Shirong sat down with the cigarette holder, Deng Changmei came out.

After the two sides greeted each other, Deng Shirong started smoking the hookah skillfully.

Deng Yunjin put the half-woven mulberry aside and said with envy, "Uncle Jiu, your new house is so beautiful. Have you seen it? When are you going to move in?"

"Let's go to Shejiao tomorrow to find Yuncheng and choose an auspicious day."

After chatting about the house for a while, Deng Shirong put the pipe aside and said, "Yunjin, the production team has divided up the mountains now. The remaining mountains will probably not be divided up again. There are only some corners of the fields left. Ah Mei's wedding should be ready, right?"

Deng Yunjin had obviously thought about this question, so he immediately replied: "It can be done. Uncle Jiu, please ask the man's family to find a master to choose an auspicious day!"

Deng Shirong looked at Deng Changmei and said with a smile, "Amei, my new house is completed and I need to build a lot of furniture. I plan to ask the Zhang family father and son to come and help build it. If you have no objection, you can register with Zhang Kangmei first, so that you don't have to worry so much when you get along with each other."

Deng Changmei was a little surprised when she heard this, and said with a red face: "Okay, Jiugong, I'll listen to you."

After finishing the business, Deng Shirong stood up and said, "Okay, then it's settled. I'll go to the Zhang family now."

…

Baiping Brigade.

Changtian Village.

The arrival of the matchmaker Deng Shirong was naturally warmly received by the Zhang family.

After some pleasantries, Deng Shirong said to Zhang Jiefang, "Cousin, now that the mountain in our production team has been divided, Kangmei and Amei's marriage can go ahead. I have already told the girl's parents about this, and they have agreed."

Zhang Jiefang said happily, "Then I will go find a fortune teller to choose an auspicious day later."

Zhang Kangmei, who was listening, also had a smile on her face.

As I said, there is no strong and energetic young man who doesn't want to get married.

Deng Shirong nodded, and then said: "A cousin, I came here this time not only to tell you this matter, but also to discuss something else with you."

Zhang Jiefang asked, "Uncle Jiu, is there anything else?"

Deng Shirong said, "It's like this. My family was building a new house some time ago. Now the new house has been built, but it still lacks some furniture, so I would like to ask you to help make a batch of furniture. I wonder what kind of furniture you and your son are good at making?"

Zhang Jiefang was excited when he mentioned his profession, and said, "Uncle Jiu, my father and I both have rich experience in making common furniture such as bunk beds, wardrobes, tables, stools, dressing tables, and boxes."

Deng Shirong asked: "How long does it take to build a simple bunk bed?"

Zhang Jiefang said: "If there is ready-made wood, my father and I can build a simple bunk bed in two days."

Deng Shirong asked again: "What if it is a canopy bed used as a wedding bed? How long would it take to build one?"

Zhang Jiefang said, "Uncle Jiu, if it's the super luxurious frame wedding bed of ancient times, my father and I can't make it. We don't have the technology. If it's our time now, if we can make the best wedding bed in our commune, as long as we have ready-made wood, my father and I can make it in about a month."

"What about a large wardrobe? How long does it take to build one?"

"For a large wardrobe, it will take about ten days."

"How long will the dresser take?"

"About five days."

Deng Shirong asked about all the furniture he wanted to build, and finally said, "Abiao, how about this? You and your son help build the best wedding bed we have here, and also build twelve simple bunk beds. Unfortunately, I'm a bit pressed for time, otherwise I would let you build the other furniture together."

Zhang Jiefang naturally didn't want to miss out on such a big business. He immediately said, "Uncle Jiu, if you're in a hurry, I can ask my dad to come out. If the three of us work together, the speed can be increased by at least one third."

Deng Shirong said: "If that's the case, then you can help build three more dressing tables and a large dining table!"

Zhang Jiefang nodded and said, "No problem, Uncle Jiu. I will ensure that the task is completed as quickly as possible with guaranteed quality and quantity."

Next, the two sides discussed some details, and then Deng Shirong smoked a few cigarettes before riding away.

…

When I got home, it was already past three in the afternoon.

The bed, dressing table and dining table were left to the three generations of the Zhang family. There were still eight large wardrobes and dozens of stools left, and Deng Shirong had to hire someone else to make them.

However, before hiring other carpenters, Deng Shirong first hired a few workers in the village to cut down all the pine trees on his own mountain, and then carry them back to exchange with other villagers for dry pine wood to make furniture. All other trees and weeds were also brought back to be used as firewood.

After doing all this, I will help to cultivate the orchard and prepare for next year's fruit tree planting.
