The next morning, before Wang Gui drove away with his things, Zhang Taiping went to call old man Qian. He was ready, changed into decent clothes, and wore a pair of new cloth shoes. After all, he was going to the town to do business today. .

The two got into Wang Gui's car to pull things out, and went to the place where they bought breakfast at the crossroads in the town to eat some breakfast.

"Uncle Qian, I'm doing something for me today, but I didn't ask you to pay for it." After dinner, Zhang Taiping stopped the old man from paying and said.

"If you don't have a few dollars, it doesn't matter who opens it?"

"Then let me drive it, and we must not mess with the rules of doing things." Zhang Taiping said with a smile.

Seeing what Zhang Taiping said, old man Qian didn't insist anymore, and asked Zhang Taiping to pay.

The two started to walk east from the cross, Zhang Taiping asked: "Uncle Qian, is there any wood shop far from here? If it is far, take a car."

Old man Qian waved his hand and said, "There's no need for that, just go ahead a little distance and then turn north and you'll be there, at most one mile."

It took less than 10 minutes for the two of them to walk while talking.This place is already on the edge of the town, and there is such a big yard. When the two arrived, it happened to be the time when the people inside opened the door.

The person who opened the door was a man in his 40s and nearly [-], who obviously knew old man Qian, and said, "Brother Qian is here, what's the matter?"

Old man Qian said, "Come and look at the wood."

"Haha, that's good, you can take a look inside first, I'll go over and wash your face." The man said.

After the man walked away, old man Qian introduced to Zhang Taiping: "That man is the boss here."

The two entered the yard. The space inside was not small, and there were rows of logs piled up in various lengths, thicknesses, and thicknesses.There is a sign in front of each pile of wood with the price of the pile of wood written on it.

"What kind of wood do you want to use to build the house?" Old Man Qian asked.

Zhang Taiping didn't say what he had in mind, but asked, "Does Uncle Qian have any good suggestions?"

Old man Qian said: "There are toon wood, pine wood and poplar wood to choose from."

It stands to reason that toon wood or pine wood is the best. These two woods are hard, and the oil inside has a moisture-proof effect, and the color is beautiful.Poplar can also be used, but its hardness is not as good as the first two. If poplar is used, it should be painted with a layer of protective things on the outside.

Zhang Taiping thought for a while and said: "Then buy all three kinds of wood, and then use pine or Chinese toon to make the beams on the roof or the pillars at the four corners, and cut the poplar into one-inch thick boards for the walls. "

Old Man Qian nodded and said, "This kind of combination is not bad. It's safe to use pine or toon wood as the beams and pillars."

"Brother Qian, have you taken a fancy to pine wood?" The boss came over after washing his face and asked.

Old man Qian said: "Three kinds of wood are needed, pine, toon and poplar."

"Hehe, this is no problem, I wonder how much I want?"

Old man Qian looked at Zhang Taiping. Zhang Taiping took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to the boss. It was the size he thought of last night, and it was clearly written on it.

Then he said: "Toon wood and pine wood are both used to make pillars or beams. The diameter must be more than [-] centimeters. Thirty pieces are required for six-meter-long pieces, and ninety pieces are required for four-meter-long pieces. As for poplar Let's get a hundred four-meter-long ones first."

When the boss heard that this was a big deal, he quickly asked, "When do you want it?"

Zhang Taiping replied: "Just today or tomorrow."

Now the boss is in a bit of trouble, all the wood he has here is transported from the north, and the wood in stock can barely meet Zhang Taiping's needs, but he also supplies goods to several furniture stores for a long time, so he can't do it all at once. They were all sold to Zhang Taiping.

Wei Wei paused and said, "I might not be able to get so much at once, and I even sent wood to several furniture stores."

Zhang Taiping frowned slightly and asked: "Then how soon can I get the wood I want?"

The boss replied: "It takes ten days to ship it back from the north, and it takes you two times to add it, so it may take 20 days to get it all together."

20 days is a bit long, feeling a little disappointed, Zhang Taiping said: "How much can you take out now?"

The boss looked at the piece of paper that Zhang Taiping handed him and said, "For the time being, I can only provide you with a quarter of what you want."

Zhang Taiping said: "Okay, let's take a quarter, can it be delivered today?"

The boss asked, "You and Brother Qian are from the same village?"

Zhang Taiping nodded: "It's from a village."

"That's no problem, just leave a phone call and it will be delivered in the afternoon." The boss said.

Zhang Taiping and the boss got to know each other for a while, exchanged phone numbers, Zhang Taiping paid some deposit, and then left with old man Qian.

Zhang Taiping already has other ideas in his heart now, he does not plan to buy from outside, he plans to cultivate directly from the space, the land in the middle is definitely not good, but isn’t there a circle of mountains around the grassland, just for Cultivating wood is just a matter of spending some time in it. Irrigate it with spring water, and it is estimated that the time required will be much shorter than 20 days.

Old Man Qian asked, "What are you going to do now?"

Zhang Taiping replied: "Uncle Qian, see what you need. Let's go and buy it directly."

"Hehe, I also prepared a list, which is what I think I need to buy. See if there is anything else you want to add." Old Man Qian also took out a piece of paper from his pocket and said.

Zhang Taiping looked at the things on the paper, and basically included all the things needed to build a house, but the things after the house was built were missing.

"I don't have anything to add for the time being, just buy it according to Uncle Qian's list, and then buy it separately if you need anything." Zhang Taiping said.

Afterwards, the two of them began to show off in the various grocery stores above the town, and finally bought a lot of things. Then Zhang Taiping called Wang Gui and asked him to drive over and take back all the things he bought.

I didn't spend much time in the town, and it was less than twelve o'clock when I got home.With the help of Wang Gui and old man Qian, all the things on the truck were unloaded and placed in the yard.

Originally, I wanted the two of them to have a meal at home before leaving, but they insisted on leaving and couldn't stop them.

"Don't you put things in the house?" Cai Yazhi asked after the two left.

Zhang Taiping shook his head: "No need, it's too troublesome to take it out when it's in the room."

"Is it safe to put it in the yard?" Cai Yazhi was a little worried. These things are worth a lot of money. Just a portable chainsaw costs hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Zhang Taiping laughed and said: "If anyone can steal something from the courtyard guarded by the ghost face and the lion, then it doesn't matter if he steals it."

Thinking about ghost faces and lions, Cai Yazhi felt relieved.He asked again, "Did you buy the wood?"

Zhang Taiping replied: "I bought a part, and it will be delivered this afternoon. The rest will not be delivered until 20 days later. I don't plan to buy from them again. I plan to find another one and buy it back quickly."

I ate rice for lunch, and there was only one dish, big meat and braised wax gourd.When I was planting pumpkins, I also planted a few broods of winter melons, but there were not many of them, and they could be eaten these days. Cai Yazhi found out the method of braised winter melons on the computer.

This kind of dish like red stew is best eaten when the weather is cold in winter, but it is also good to eat now. The stewed winter melon and meat are mixed together and covered with white rice.

"This winter melon is well done." The old man gave a comment during the meal.

The little girls also had a big appetite and ate two bowls of rice. After the meal, they patted their bellies and lay down on the chair, not wanting to move.

"Go, go for a walk." Zhang Taiping said to the little girls lying on the chairs.If you are too full, you can't lie still and you need to go for a walk to digest your food.

"Father, I don't want to move anymore." Yaya said coquettishly in a sweet and glutinous voice.

Zhang Taiping said to her: "If you eat too much and don't go out for a walk, you will have a belly like a bastard, are you afraid?" Zhang Taiping told her about a woman with a big belly in the village to scare her.

Scared by Zhang Taiping, the little girls all got up and followed Zhang Taiping and walked under the trees by the pond, looking at the lotus flowers and swimming fish, and their stomachs felt much more comfortable after walking around.

After three o'clock in the afternoon, the wood delivery truck came. After answering the phone, Zhang Taiping went to lead the several or two trucks that had driven into the village to the wheat threshing ground.

Without rushing to unload the wood from the car immediately, Zhang Taiping first called the boss and several drivers into the house, had a glass of water, ate some fruit, and smoked for a while.After resting for a while, he returned to the field and put all the wood down.

"Brother Zhang, why do you need so much wood?" the boss asked curiously.

Zhang Taiping replied with a smile: "Build some wooden houses on the mountain."

"Build a wooden house on a hill?"

"Ah."

The boss saw that Zhang Taiping didn't want to say more, so he didn't ask any more questions, and told him a few words: "Wood is afraid of both fire and water. When you put it here to prevent fire, you must also pay attention to the weather. If it rains, you will be sure." will affect the quality of the wood."

Zhang Taiping nodded, expressing his understanding.

"Brother Zhang, let's see if the amount is enough."

Zhang Taiping was not polite either, he counted carefully and checked the quality of the wood, he nodded when he saw that there was no problem, and asked Cai Yazhi, who was carrying a bag next to him, to pay the money. "You also pay carefully."

"Okay!" The boss smiled when he saw the cash, and took it one by one in his hand, checked the amount and whether it was true or not, and said, "It's okay, we've settled the money and the goods. We still need wood in the future." Give me a call sometime, and I'll send it to you right away."

Zhang Taiping nodded politely, and then the boss left with a few drivers.The next morning, before Wang Gui drove away with his things, Zhang Taiping went to call old man Qian. He was ready, changed into decent clothes, and wore a pair of new cloth shoes. After all, he was going to the town to do business today. .
