Chapter 9 Tables and chairs are just beginning to be curious

"Father, who wants to make so many tables and chairs? The styles are so strange. You are so busy all day and night, you don't know if you can make some money." In a small courtyard in Nanguiyifang, Chang'an County , a woman asked a man who was doing carpentry by an oil lamp.

"Axiu, this is something from the man's house in Li County, Xiuzhen Square. The housekeeper Qi from the man's house in Li County found us a few days ago and asked me to build some tables and chairs with my second brother. Although the style is a bit strange, the price is Not bad." The man replied while he was busy.

"Li Xiannan? It turned out to be him. I heard from neighbors that Li Xiannan has been climbing on the roof of his house and howling for a long time this month. His voice is very unpleasant." After hearing this, the woman named Axiu said, I remembered the news from some talkative women.

"Keep your voice down, you can't talk nonsense, we can't offend these honorable families." The man hurriedly stopped his work and stopped his wife from speaking.

If Li Chongyuan finds out about this, those talkative women must be killed.

What's wrong with singing a song by yourself?Is something bothering you?Is it necessary to spread it everywhere?
But Li Chongyuan didn't know that because of his behavior in the past month, he had already spread his reputation.

And the family next door to his mansion also moved out today.

The reason was that the host's wife was pregnant, so she couldn't enjoy Li Chongyuan's singing like howling ghosts and howling wolves, and she couldn't even enjoy the few words he howled in the middle of the night.

"Housekeeper, are the tables and chairs ready?" After a few days, Li Chongyuan was still idling around in his mansion, asking the butler as soon as he caught him.

"Xiao Langjun, how can it be so fast? This is not a one-piece or two, but dozens of sets. But I gave them a month, and I think they have made some now." The housekeeper I can't take it anymore.

In the past few days, whenever Li Chongyuan was bored, besides going up to the roof to continue howling ghostly, he would just drag the housekeeper and chatter away.

The butler didn't expect that after his young man woke up, his behavior became a little weird, but he didn't want to ask too many questions.

However, he looked at the current Li Chongyuan, compared to the previous Ben Chongyuan, he was just a little more carefree, he was more and more decent in his work, and his way of speaking seemed to be more and more simple.

No matter how much, he didn't find anything.

Of course, climbing up to the roof to sing was a headache for him.

"Okay, just go and move a few sets back and let me have a look. Will you pay if you break it?" Li Chongyuan glared at the housekeeper.

After finishing some of them, I don’t want to bring them back to have a look. Who knows if they are done well.

"Then I'll go right away." The butler hurried away, fearing that Li Chongyuan's anger would get worse.

"Get two more sets and come back and have a look. Also, I have to step up my troubles." Li Chongyuan shouted to the back of the departing housekeeper.

Li Chongyuan didn't care whether the housekeeper heard or not.

What Li Chongyuan cared about was the result, and he didn't care about the process either.

Li Chongyuan couldn't even go out of the house, so naturally he couldn't check it.

In addition, Li Chongyuan's anger has become more and more recent, and I don't know if it's because the Holy Spirit punished him, or because he hasn't gotten used to life in Chang'an City.

"Chen Mutou, Chen Mutou, are things ready?" Half an hour later, the butler brought several people to the outside of the Chen family's courtyard in Guiyifang.

"Steward Qi, there are still about ten sets left to finish, and it will take some time." The man named Chen Mutou saw someone calling him outside the yard, and he knew who it was when he heard the sound, so he ran over and opened the door, and greeted him. Butler Qi entered the courtyard.

"It's going to take a while? Okay, then you guys have a hard time doing it. My little man asked me to come over and get a few sets and show him. Whether it is good or not is up to my little man." The housekeeper looked at it. A lot of tables and chairs have already been laid in the courtyard, which looks pretty good.

"That's, that's, Li Xiannan can draw such a pattern, I, Chen Mutou, can be regarded as catching up." Chen Mutou responded carefully.

"Little Four, bring the money in first." The butler saw that there was basically nothing wrong with those tables and chairs, and ordered to a servant.

When Chen Mutou saw that the housekeeper was about to settle the settlement, a smile immediately appeared on his simple and honest face.

After a while, Chen Mutou sent off Steward Qi and his group with a nod and bow.

At the same time, the housekeeper and his party also took three sets of tables and chairs.

Of course, half of the money is settled, and the rest can only be settled after the completion of the work.

"Brother, how do you divide up so many copper coins?" Chen Mutou's brothers surrounded the four baskets of copper coins, their eyes filled with excitement.

There are not many copper coins in the four baskets, and there are only forty pennies.

But for those of them who do carpentry work, it is already a big number.

Moreover, the money for materials and the money for tung oil are all paid in advance by them.

But the total price of the tables and chairs that Li Chongyuan wanted to order was [-] guan, and they could earn at least one-third more.

"Butler Qi, what are you putting on this frame? Why does it look like a table and chairs?" When the butler and the others reached the North Street of Xishi, they were stopped by Cheng Chumo.

Today, Cheng Chumo is on duty, guarding the Golden Light Gate of Chang'an City.

When he saw Butler Qi and his group pulling so many tables and chairs, he came over curiously and asked.

And with him Cheng Chumo, there are some other honorable children.

"Returning Captain Cheng, these are the tables and chairs Mr. Xiao Lang is going to use to open a restaurant." Seeing that it was Cheng Chumo and the others, Steward Qi responded directly without hiding it.

Cheng Chumo heard about Li Chongyuan's second brother Li Chongxuan talking about opening a restaurant, but he didn't care, anyway, it's too normal for Xungui to open a shop.

However, he became interested in the tables and chairs on the frame.

"Get me a set, I think the style looks pretty good." Cheng Chumo was really not polite, and asked Butler Qi to ask for a set.

"This... Cheng Xiaowei, it's not that I don't give it to you. This is what Xiao Langjun wants, and I can't give it to you. Why don't Cheng Xiaowei follow me to ask Xiao Langjun?" will give.

How could such a good desk and chair be given to others at will?

What's more, Li Chongyuan kept whispering in his ears about the need to make a complete set of tables and chairs, saying that he would sell them to the nobles in Chang'an City.

This is business.

If it's business, Li Chongyuan is on top of it. Similarly, he has to weigh it carefully.

"Cheng Chumo, what are you doing here on duty?" Just as Cheng Chumo was about to speak, an old man rushed over with several officials.

"Go back to Duke Wei, I'm here to take a look." Cheng Chumo responded cautiously and nervously after seeing the visitor.

The person who came was none other than Wei Zheng, an important minister in the imperial court, who held the position of servant in the province, and was also in charge of the supervision of the Ministry of Punishment.

"Huh? What are these? Tables and chairs? They look good!" A censor who followed Wei Zheng was also curious about the tables and chairs on the frame.
