I'm a street kid, and my beautiful wife doesn't want a divorce!

Li Xia shrugged and said helplessly:

"There is no other way, your man is just so good."

Chu Mengxi didn't pay attention to Li Xia's talk, and was still in shock.

When... did he become a carpenter?!

Li Xia saw that his wife was curious and suspicious, so he smiled and said:

"I still have a lot of abilities, and you will gradually see them in the future."

Chu Mengxi:"……"

Chu Mengxi rolled her eyes nicely.

He said he was fat and had asthma.

Do you still have a lot of skills? boast.

Is it omnipotent?

Only God is omnipotent.

Chu Mengxi continued to wash clothes, while Li Xia unloaded the things from the donkey cart and put them away

"Wife, I don’t have any tools to make furniture. I’ll go to the east end of the village to find Wang Mazi and borrow some tools."

"Um."Chu Mengxi nodded.

Li Xia was naughty. Before leaving, she walked around behind Chu Mengxi and secretly kissed her cheek.

It was delicate and smooth and felt very good.

"rogue."Chu Mengxi01 blushed.

Li Xia sighed that his wife was always so shy.

Li Xia came to the east end of the village and didn't know if Wang Mazi was at home. If he wasn't, he had to go and find out.

Wang Mazi's Grandpa is an old carpenter with superb craftsmanship.

More than ten years ago, carpentry was a very popular profession. Almost every household hired a carpenter to make furniture or build houses.

Good carpenters are respected by everyone, and every household uses daily furniture. For example, tables, benches, fire pots, bookcases, wooden barrels, etc. need to be made by carpenters.

In addition, erecting a house and installing siding... also require carpenters.

Good carpenters basically work outside all year round, and some I didn’t go home until New Year’s Eve.

Ten thoughts.

Times have changed.

Tools have changed productivity.

Machines have replaced human hands.

Even the most common furniture production can be replaced by machines, and manual work has become less and less.

Old The saying"three years of drought will not kill the craftsmen from starvation" has become a thing of the past.

Li Xia knocked on the door of the courtyard, and Wang Mazi was at home. In the past, Wang Mazi's face was pockmarked. Because of the pockmark on his face, he married I couldn’t find my wife.

Later, I went to find an old Chinese medicine doctor in the deep mountains and old forests. After taking the herbal medicine for half a month, the pockmarks on my face disappeared.

At that time, it was quite magical.

Squeak~!

The door opened and Wang Mazi half-opened his eyes. With his eyes closed, he was sleeping in broad daylight.

Yesterday he went to the county construction team to do odd jobs, repairing public toilets until three o'clock in the evening.

"He's the youngest son of Lao Li's family. What do you want from me?"

Wang Mazi rubbed his eyes and saw Li Xia's face clearly.

Li Xia is now a famous figure in the village, because the street kid changed his ways and began to take care of his wife and children.

The only family in the village who doesn't do farm work, goes to He is doing business in the county.

I heard he makes a lot of money.

Some villagers are jealous, and some villagers are jealous.

Wang Mazi was wondering why Li Xia wanted him, and they didn't have much interaction with him on weekdays. Li Xia directly threw a fat fish into Wang Mazi's face.

Ouch!

Such a big, fresh and plump crucian carp, it must weigh eight or two.

Wang Mazi hadn’t eaten fish for a long time, so he swallowed his saliva.

"This fish……"

Li Xia smiled and said:"Brother Wang, I bought some wood from the wood market. I want to make furniture at home, so I want to borrow some wood.……"

Wang Mazi finally knew Li Xia's purpose, and he dared to let him help make furniture.

As the only craftsman in the village, Wang Mazi often makes tables, chairs and benches for the villagers' homes.

Of course, you have to charge money

"How much furniture do you need to make?"

"A complete set, everything that can be replaced has been replaced, including tables, chairs, stools, wooden barrels, and cupboards.……"

Wang Mazi's eyelids twitched, so many?!

He is not stupid. If he is only given a fish, he will make so much furniture by himself.

Working as a carpenter is laborious and tiring, even more tiring than working on a construction team!

The construction team works for two yuan a day. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

This guy Li Xia only gives one fish, which is a pretty idea.

Wang Mazi pretended to yawn and said:

"Ah, Xiao Li, it’s not that Brother Wang doesn’t want to help you, it’s just that he is too sleepy. Yesterday he went to the county to repair public toilets and was busy until three o’clock in the night. Look……"

Li Xia stuffed the fish into Wang Mazi's hand and said with a smile:

"Brother Wang, you misunderstood. I'm here to ask you to borrow tools, axes, pushers, saws, ink fountains, bent rulers, chisels... I don't have tools at home, and it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice."

Wang Mazi looked at the fish in his hand, then looked at Li Xia, slightly surprised:

"Do you want to make your own furniture?!"

"yes."Li Xia nodded.

"ah?!"Wang Mazi's eyes widened, and then he looked unbelieving.

He, Wang Mazi, was the only craftsman in the village, passed down from his grandfather's generation.

Wang Mazi studied carpentry with the old man for six years, until the old man passed away. I have only learned 50% of the craft.

Although it is only 50%, it is enough to support the family.

Li Xia actually said that he can be a carpenter?!

Is the craft of carpentry so easy to learn?

Can everyone learn it? It takes three years to learn carpentry. After three years of refining the art, it depends on one's own skills when to show off.

Wang Mazi refused to believe that Li Xia had mastered this craft.

He accepted the fish, lent all the tools to Li Xia, and others followed. Wang Mazi wanted to see how Li Xia made the furniture.

When he arrived at Li Xia's house, Wang Mazi saw the wood piled in the center of the yard.

His eyes lit up, he walked over and checked the wood. Then he nodded.

Well, I have a good eye. I picked some good and durable wood with no cracks. The texture of the wood is mountain-shaped. The mountain-shaped grain is much better than straight-grained wood...

Wang Mazi showed approval in his eyes. Color.

But this only shows that Li Xia can choose wood.

Being able to make furniture is another matter.

Regardless of the simple structure of furniture, it is very difficult to actually make it.

From the initial design, to mold making, to The skill of drilling... every step is difficult.

Wang Mazi is a veteran, and he knows how difficult it is to learn this craft.

Moreover, learning does not mean mastering.

There is a big difference between the two.

Wang Mazi's level is between learning and mastering. Between him and the scholar.

Nowadays, carpenters are no longer popular, so he went to work in the construction team.

Li Xia found a pencil and a right-square ruler from the tool bag borrowed from Wang Mazi.

Li Xia skillfully hung the pencil on On the ear.

Wang Mazi glanced at it, it looked like that.

"Would a push plane help?"Wang Mazi planned to test it out and threw a small pusher over.

Li Xia raised his hand to take it, but he was not in a hurry to show it off and put the pusher aside.

Then, he untied the bundled wood and put it on top He started to draw lines.

He had a clear design in his mind and directly drew the specific structure.
