Rushing to the sea: I can see the prompts

Chapter 56 I Haven't Got In The Car Yet

Zhang Yaowei wanted to curse, but when he saw the person next to Shui Wang, his eldest brother, he swallowed the curse words.

The three of them came to the carpenter's house together.

This is the only carpenter in their village. Although he is not rich, he is not poor either.However, I am basically free now.

In the past, who in the village didn’t want to say hello when they got married?

Make cabinets, tables, chairs, beds, even doors and windows, etc.

But now, some people no longer use wooden doors and windows when building buildings.

"Uncle Tian, ​​I heard that the desk is ready." Zhang Yaohua greeted.

A middle-aged and elderly man with half-white hair was smoking a hookah in the house. When he saw that the person coming was Zhang Yaohua, he quickly put down the hookah.

"It's Andy! The desk, computer table, and chairs are all over there."

Because it was custom-made, the style was provided by Zhang Yaohua. He had never done it before, and he was worried that Zhang Yaohua would not be satisfied, so he went slower.

Zhang Yaohua likes solid wood furniture.

He checked it over and was very satisfied.

The tables and chairs are all made of chestnut wood, which has beautiful wood grain, is durable, and is not easy to get dirty.

Whether it is Zhang Yuanhang's desk, Zhang Yaohua's computer desk, or chair, the workmanship is very fine, and it can be seen that a lot of effort has been put into it.

"How is it? Do you want to change it?"

Zhang Yaohua shook his head: "No, it's good. Uncle Tian, ​​your skills are really good."

This compliment made the old carpenter extremely happy.

His family can barely be considered well-off, and he can retire and stop working.But he only had this few hobbies left, and he couldn't rest at all, so he continued to plan wood boards all day long.

Not just him, almost all the older generation can't stay idle.

Once they are allowed to relax, it hurts like this and that, as if all the old problems in their body break out.In the countryside, even an 80-year-old grandmother still works on her vegetable garden, watering, weeding, etc.

Since the village gradually modernized, his presence has become weaker and weaker.

Everyone's doors and windows began to be made of metal, the stools were made of rubber, the dining table was no longer the old Eight Immortals table, and the sofas were bought from outside, which made him feel like a hero with no place to play.

Now, can you not be happy when you hear compliments from others again?

"I'm old, I can't keep up with the trend anymore." Uncle Tian smiled and waved his hands.

The latter sentence was said to him by his granddaughter.

Zhang Yaohua told him: "This desk and computer desk are the trend. The so-called trend is actually just the style. This is not difficult for you, Uncle Tian."

It can be seen that Uncle Tian loves this craft and is not willing to lose it.

However, now a lot of furniture can be produced in factories and no longer needs to be made by hand.Old craftsmen like them will naturally be gradually eliminated.

"Fashion is style?" Uncle Tian was stunned and quickly understood.

"Yeah! That seems to be the truth. But now no one needs it." He continued.

Zhang Yaohua shook his head and came up with an idea: "It's not unnecessary, some people like purely handmade goods. Uncle Tian, ​​you can try asking Gillian to take orders online, specializing in high-end goods."

Low-end products will definitely not be able to compete with other furniture manufacturers.

He knows that many traditional handicraft industries are now in trouble and are completely helpless under the impact of modern industry.

Some craftsmen had no choice but to transform.

There are also some craftsmen who follow the trend and use the Internet and other means to carve out a bloody path.

"Taking orders online? Is it reliable?" Uncle Tian was a little excited.

Zhang Yaohua told the truth: "It may not be reliable, but there is nothing to lose if you try. If you become famous, Uncle Tian will never be able to do it." "Okay, let me ask my Gillian."

Gillian is his granddaughter and a college student.

As Zhang Yaohua, a famous college student in the village, Uncle Tian believed in him.

It doesn't matter how much money he makes, the main thing is that he still wants to use his spare energy.

And Zhang Yaohua also saw that he was not convinced by his old age, so he came up with such an idea.In addition, Uncle Tian's craftsmanship is indeed excellent, just look at the carvings on that stool.

Excellent craftsmanship means reputation.

While they were chatting, Uncle Tian’s grandson came back carrying something that looked like a pineapple.

"This thing is not edible, so why cut it back?" Shui Wang was curious.

"Brother Shuiwang, don't you understand? I heard people say that this thing is very expensive to make into a bracelet." The boy informed quietly, as if he had mastered the code of wealth.

"Made into bracelets? Who did you listen to nonsense?" Shui Wang didn't believe it.

Isn’t it just sea pineapple?
This thing looks like a pineapple, but it has no smell of pineapple at all. It is dry and like wood.

He had never heard that this thing could be made into a bracelet.

At this moment, Zhang Yaohua said: "It's not nonsense. Someone did make bracelets and sell them, and the price was once very high."

what?
Shui Wang and Zhang Yaowei stared at each other.

And such a thing?
Say it early!

"Hey! Didn't I lie to you? Brother Hua still knows better."

Zhang Yaohua smiled and said: "Don't be too happy too early. I want to say that you have missed the opportunity. The time when it was really valuable has passed, and now you may not want to give it away."

This time, it was Tian Cunhao's turn to be dumbfounded.

Just when I thought I had mastered the code of wealth and was about to get rich, someone poured cold water on me.

"No way?"

"What can't you do? This thing was originally said to be the Spilled Lotus Bodhi. It is usually used to make pendants, beads, and earrings for utensils. It is used for decoration. Some big ones can also be used as handles and walnuts. Pretty much, just hold it in your hand and play with it.”

As he spoke, Zhang Yaohua took off a piece of the sea pineapple, placed it in the palm of his hand, and said, "Look, does this shape look like a Buddha lotus?
As long as you play with it for a period of time, it will turn red, so it is called the bleeding lotus.

When someone first came up with it, I heard that it frightened many people, which was very pleasing.At that time, a string of lotus flowers dripping with blood was sold for 30 to [-] yuan.

However, when everyone learned that this thing was the seed of a sea pineapple, it instantly fell from the altar and was worthless. "

The reason why it is expensive is that on the one hand it is novel; on the other hand it looks mysterious and everyone thinks it is rare.

For the sake of hype, merchants keep secrets and avoid talking about the origin of this thing.

When it was revealed that the Spilled Lotus Bodhi was made from sea pineapples and was found in many places along the southeastern coast and was not scarce, the mystery was immediately removed and the price plummeted.

When Zhang Yaohua saw the relevant information, this thing was already worthless, otherwise he would have come back to chop pineapples, so why would he be working?

At that time, he was also extremely depressed and failed to catch the opportunity to make a fortune.

Zhang Yaowei, Shui Wang and Tian Cunhao said something in their hearts almost at the same time: I haven't gotten in the car yet!

All three of them felt like they had missed [-] million.

"Pity."

"Yes! Eating shit can't keep up with the heat." Zhang Yaowei nodded.

"Is it hot? I'll pull it for you right now, do you want it?" Shui Wang said with a smile.

"roll!"
