Meng Ying on the side looked at the two of them with a smile, did not interrupt, and listened with interest.
If you come across something you think is good, write it down so that you can use it in the future.
After a long and heated discussion, the two people finally determined all the dimensions. Jianshu stopped and took a sip of water, feeling unsatisfied.
Master Zhou flipped through the notebook excitedly, nodding from time to time.
"These things are somewhat different from previous styles, and many places need to be modified. This is my first time doing this and I'm not very skilled yet, so I need to take my time with many places, so it may take longer. But don't worry, it will definitely be completed before the end of March." Master Zhou said truthfully.
"It doesn't matter if it takes a little longer, you can take your time, but the quality must be guaranteed. It can't have all kinds of flaws just because it's the first time." Meng Ying put down the cup and continued.
"Don't worry about this. I have been doing this for so many years, and I rely on this craftsmanship. I will not ruin my reputation. There will be no problem with the quality. Before officially making your furniture, I will practice with other materials first, and then start officially after I am sure there is no problem. That's why it takes longer." Master Zhou explained.
As a craftsman, my job depends on my skills. If there are any quality problems, wouldn’t that mean I’d lose my job?
"I feel relieved when you say that. We still believe in your craftsmanship. It's just that children's marriage is a big deal, and we as elders have to be cautious. Please don't blame me." Meng Ying said with a smile.
"It's okay, it's human nature."
"Then I'll leave these to you. Sorry for the trouble."
"You're welcome." Master Zhou replied.
"Okay, let's stop here for today. I'll give you the deposit first." Meng Ying stood up and prepared to pay. "Oh, by the way, can you also help me build two bedside tables? We can pick them up together when the time comes."
"Okay, do you have any material requirements?" Master Zhou asked.
"A normal one will do." Meng Ying said.
"Okay, just come and get it when the time comes." Master Zhou made another note on the paper.
After the negotiation, they didn't stay long. After paying the deposit, they left.
"Now that the furniture is settled, everything else will be much simpler." Meng Ying breathed a sigh of relief.
Making furniture is a huge project. That is to say, furniture nowadays does not require carving. Otherwise, it would take at least half a year or a year to make it.
"The next thing is to prepare the quilt, mattress, sheets, duvet cover, and clothes and shoes for the wedding. Leave all these to me, you can do it now. You must be tired of following me around these days, right?" She smiled and patted Jianshu's shoulder.
"No way, it's obviously you who is tired. I've just been running around these days, but you've been busy running around and worrying about all kinds of things." Jianshu was too embarrassed to complain about being tired.
Meng Ying smiled and said, "I'm not tired. I can run for a few more days without any problem." She was full of energy.
Jian Shu said helplessly, "Then you should go back and have a good rest. The divorce is still several months away. There's no need to rush now."
These days I've been running back and forth in major department stores, squeezing in the crowd to buy all kinds of things I need. Every time I come out, my clothes are wrinkled and I look very disheveled.
"Oh, it's a pity that I haven't gone to the department store to grab things for a long time. My body is not flexible enough and my speed in grabbing things is not as fast as others. That piece of red cloth last time was so good, but it's a pity that I didn't get it." Meng Ying sighed and felt sorry when she thought of the red cloth that she missed.
Jian Shu smiled helplessly and consoled him, "Didn't you buy another piece of red cloth later? It's enough to use. There's no point in buying more. You don't need it normally."
The old three colors are popular nowadays. Except for getting married, it is not a good idea to wear bright red or purple clothes on a daily basis.
"That's right. Anyway, you have never liked bright red clothes since you were a child. You are obviously fair-skinned, and you look best in red." Meng Ying turned and complained.
Jianshu: "..." She didn't want to dress like a big red envelope.
"I have already bought the cotton. When the weather is good in a few days, I will find someone to make a quilt for it." Meng Ying chattered about her next plan.
Jianshu listened attentively on the side.
"Alas, the timing of your wedding isn't very good. If it were in the second half of the year, you could buy this year's new cotton. Now there's no time, so you can only buy last year's cotton."
"I didn't buy much. I originally wanted to make four quilts and four blankets, but now I can only make two quilts and two blankets. It will definitely not be enough when the time comes." Meng Ying frowned as she spoke, "No, I still have to buy some more. Two quilts and two blankets will definitely not be enough."
"That's enough, that's enough. No need to buy any more." Jian Shu said quickly.
It's a waste to have too many quilts and not use them all.
"How can it be enough? Two quilts and two blankets are only enough for you and Mingjing at most. If you have children in the future, what will they use? Besides, it's very cold over there, Mingjing. Must he use more quilts in winter?" Meng Ying said with a frown.
"You have some at home, or you can buy some when the time comes." Jianshu persuaded.
Meng Ying rolled her eyes at her. "Dowry is for your wedding. You can buy it later. Everything will be bought later. So what's the point of preparing it? You might as well just marry with nothing. You can buy it later anyway."
Jian Shu: "..." You know what, she really thought about it. Isn't it enough to have money? Just buy whatever you need.
But she didn't dare to say it for fear of being beaten.
"Okay, don't worry about it. I know what's going on." Meng Ying pushed her away with disgust.
Jianshu touched his nose and closed his mouth.
Okay, just ignore it.
I don’t know if all girls in the world are like this before getting married. Some want to buy this and that, while others don’t need this or that.
As for who wins in the end, those who understand will understand.
After putting buying cotton to make a quilt on the agenda in her mind, Meng Ying began to think about the next item.
"Do you plan to make the clothes yourself, or find an old tailor? And as for shoes, will you wear leather shoes, cloth shoes, or something else?" she asked.
Jianshu thought for a moment and said, "I'll make my own wife, and I'll just wear leather shoes."
There were no wedding dresses in those days. People wore their own clothes when getting married, either green military uniforms, Lenin suits, or they would take some red cloth home to make their own clothes, or they would just buy ready-made clothes. Some people who were not well-off or were not valued would wear hand-me-down clothes.
There are various styles, and there is no specific clothing requirement.
She plans to wear a white shirt with a red long skirt, which is simple and festive, classic and versatile.
When the time comes, take more photos with your camera and develop them as wedding photos.
"Okay, then let's go to the department store in a few days to see if there are any suitable leather shoes." Meng Ying nodded in response.
