Chapter 77 dilapidated shops (page 12)
He Yuzhu didn't want to live in his master's house. After all, their family didn't have any extra room. If he lived in it, he would occupy the space of his master's family.
It's okay to stay for a day occasionally, but you can't stay at Master's house all year round.
Tian Zao thought about it and said, "Your policy doesn't allow it. After all, my family owns a house."
"Then you can't rent a house. How about I rent a private one?"
Tian Zao said: "There are not many houses available for rent now."
Think about it and say, "Unless you rent a store."
"Shop?"
He Yuzhu was a little surprised. Although he had a plan to open a store, he had not yet discussed it with Xu Huizhen.
I don’t know if she wants to leave Tai Feng Tower and work alone.
"Yes, I know there is a shop for rent on Yandai Xiejie."
Tian Zao then talked about the shop, which was originally a clothing store on Yandai Xiejie.
It's just that the shop owner is an enemy agent and a peripheral agent. There is a tunnel under the shop to provide cover for the bad guys. The trick was later discovered.
The shop owner was arrested and sentenced, and the store was confiscated and became the property of the street.
Tian Zao introduced the shop and then said: "His case is over. The street is trying to rent out the house. If you want to rent it, I can keep it for you."
He Yuzhu asked: "What do you think about me opening a bun shop there? And how much is the rent?"
Tian Zao said: "Okay, that location is very good. You can open any store. As for the rent, I'll ask you later. It's not expensive."
Although He Yuzhu has money, he has repaired a house and bought a bicycle. He does not plan to buy this store in the short term.
Let's focus on renting and get the business done. It will be a public-private partnership for five to five years. Then we will decide how to proceed. Anyway, the house is rented.
Xu Huizhen can just work in this bun shop and get paid.
But I still have to ask her if she is willing to do business.
He Yuzhu sent her to work after asking about the house, and then came to Tai Feng Building.
It was a week after two days. I got up early and bought some daily necessities to deliver to Qian Datong.
After returning, He Yuzhu had nothing to do, playing with Qian Datong's old furniture.
In the past, I would recognize a master and let the master teach me his skills, so that I could incorporate the skills into my hair by washing my hair.
I have nothing to do today, so He Yuzhu wanted to practice with this pile of old furniture.
It would be nice to have the professional skill of carpenter. After all, just washing clothes activated the washing skill, sweeping the floor activated the housekeeping skill, and even applying a patch with needle and thread also activated the tailoring skill.
It's just that He Yuzhu has always resisted practicing and upgrading these skills.
Once you get promoted to a very high level, after getting married, all these housework will become your own.
The bench at He Yuzhu's house was a little loose, so he found a wooden stick and used an ax to cut a few wooden wedges.
I plan to use wooden wedges to smash it in so that the bench and chairs will not come loose.
Just after he cut two of them, Yi Zhonghai came out of the house. After a quick glance, he hurried over and asked, "Zhuzhu, where did you get this wood?"
He Yuzhu thought he was looking for trouble, raised his head and said, "Are you in charge? I didn't take any information from you."
"No, I don't mean anything else. Do you know what this material is?" Yi Zhonghai asked.
"I don't know. This is Qian Datong's old home. I took apart a bench leg."
Yi Zhonghai suppressed his urge to curse and said, "If you don't recognize it, just tear it apart at will. This chicken wing wood is very valuable."
"Wenge wood? That's it?"
Speaking of chicken wing wood, He Yuzhu certainly knows that it is known as one of the 10 most expensive woods in the world. It is also the best wood for furniture in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, along with rosewood, huanghuali, and ironwood.
He Yuzhu picked up the bench leg in his hand, looked at it carefully, and asked: "Is this chicken wing wood? Let me tell you, it's more difficult to chop it with an axe."
Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but said: "You prodigal son, this wood is very expensive and much better than ordinary wood, so you just use it to chop wood wedges."
He Yuzhu also felt that it was a bit of a waste, but he said, "I don't know these woods either."
"Open that door and I'll tell you what red sandalwood is and what huanghuali is. These pieces of furniture are all made of the best wood. Unfortunately, the workmanship is not very good and it's a waste of materials."
He Yuzhu opened the door, and Yi Zhonghai pointed to a coffee table and said, "This is a mahogany rectangular table."
"This is the Huanghuali bookshelf."
Then he opened a dismantled bench and said, "You dismantled this, right? The board and legs are made of wenge wood."
"None of his furniture is a set, so the materials used are also varied. This table is made of cypress, and that chair is made of ironwood."
Yi Zhonghai searched carefully, pointed to an inconspicuous box and said, "Look, there are some ebony inlaid on it. The entire material is made of mahogany."
He Yuzhu was surprised. He didn't expect that these were all precious woods. He said, "Why did he piece everything together?"
"It's a long story. Qian Datong didn't have any money before. Later he became a traitor and defected to the Japanese. I don't know how he got some money to buy some second-hand furniture."
Then he talked about old stories, nothing more than how he forced others and ruined their families.
Fortunately, Qian Datong had no blood debt, otherwise he would have been shot directly.
When he does bad things, he is not the leader, he is a lackadaisical person.
So he was sentenced to more than ten years.
Although Yi Zhonghai knew that these woods were valuable, it was now difficult for ordinary people to make a living. He never imagined that these woods would be worth a lot of money in future generations, and he would not live until that time.
He Yuzhu couldn't help but feel ecstatic. Now he knew the wood. He could carefully identify the texture and structure of the wood with his mental power.
Although I could recognize it before, I didn't know what this kind of wood was. I was in contact with chefs every day, and I never talked about these woods.
It seems that Yi Zhonghai has not lived in vain for so many years, and he actually knows wood.
Yi Zhonghai turned around and took a piece of wood from his home and said, "This is elm wood. You can use this to make wooden wedges."
He Yuzhu thanked him, then took an ax and cut out a few wooden wedges, and then embedded the wooden wedges in the moving parts of the chair.
After smashing it in, cut off the excess part so that the chair is strong.
After repairing the second chair, a system message popped up in front of He Yuzhu:
[You have learned a new profession - carpentry, level lv1]
He Yuzhu was overjoyed. Sure enough, his guess was good. As long as he worked for a period of time, he could trigger the system to include related occupations.
He Yuzhu went to chop wood wedges again, and every time he completed one, he would be prompted to increase his experience value by one. It seemed that this carpenter's experience could be easily improved.
He Yuzhu was very happy and chopped all the wooden sticks into wooden wedges.
Suddenly, I heard a commotion in front of me. Someone shouted in surprise and heard something about a sewing machine.
He Yuzhu put down the ax in his hand, raised his legs and walked towards the front yard.
