Reborn Craftsman

Chapter 41

Liu Xing looked at his mother and shook his head: "Mom, you are so happy with such a poor chance, you are too worthless!"

"Brat, who are you saying is worthless?" Her mother Zhu Meiling couldn't help picking up a piece of bamboo sticks on the ground when she heard this, and then drew it towards Liu Xing.

"Mom, how could you hit someone so well!" Seeing this, Liu Xing quickly oiled the soles of his feet and ran out of the shed: "I'm sleepy, go to the wonton shop to sleep first, and then don't let anyone come and disturb me!"

He knew that his mother never really wanted to slap him when she was happy, so he had no scruples about speaking.

"Understood, brat!" Zhu Meiling smiled and watched Liu Xing's figure disappear from her sight.

……

When I woke up, it was already six o'clock in the afternoon.

Liu Xing remembered that none of the basket samples of Boss Xue of the grocery store had been made yet. After telling his younger brother Liu Hang to watch his sister and the wonton shop, he got up and went to the greenhouse.

The shed was very lively at this time. Uncle Si was standing in front of the log sawing platform and was sawing Chinese fir for several strange villagers. Looking at the length of about two meters, Ye Tian knew that these strange villagers were sawing Chinese fir to make rough materials for doors and windows.

Coming here is just for processing and sawing.

Seeing this, Liu Xing shook his head: "Uncle Si, you must be careful that there are nails in it when sawing fir. Once this log saw cuts through nails or other hard substances, you will not be able to saw bamboo tomorrow."

"You're here!" Uncle Liu Huaqing turned his head and looked at Liu Xing happily: "These are from Datang Village. They said that they only need to saw the fir into two meters. It's very simple. You Don't worry nothing will happen."

"By the way, they paid five yuan! Your father has already collected it." Fourth Uncle added.

"If something like this happens in the future, just reject them directly!" Liu Xing looked at nearly a hundred fir trees on the ground, his face a little ugly.

"Ah? Why? Don't make money if you have money?" Fourth Uncle was confused.

"Do you know the power of this log saw for one hour?"

"Do you know how much it costs to buy a new one if the blade of the log saw is damaged?"

"Did you know that other idle people cannot stand within five meters of the log saw?"

"Do you know how long it would take to saw this pile of Chinese fir and do it manually?"

Liu Xing asked four times in a row, the fourth uncle who asked was speechless, and the villagers in Datang Village who asked were stunned, and they were so embarrassed that they didn't know what to do.

Secretly thought that this child really became a genius.

Actually understand so much.

Seeing that no one answered, Liu Xing continued to say: "The power of the log saw can consume three kilowatt-hours of electricity per hour. According to the current electricity price, it is about 400 cents, and the saw blades of the log saw cost more than [-]. Although temporarily The ones that are not broken but have wear and tear basically cost two to three yuan a day for wear and tear. These are actually not important, because the problems that money can solve are not problems. The problem is that log saws are high-risk machines. Fourth Uncle You let so many people stand by and watch the excitement, if someone is hurt, will you lose money or I will lose money?"

The efficiency of log sawing is high, nearly ten times that of ordinary people, and they don't know how tired they are.

However, the consumption of parts and the cost of wear and tear cannot be ignored.

This is the consciousness and basic operation that a craftsman should have. If you ignore it, you are not worthy of being a craftsman at all.

"I...I..." Fourth Uncle hesitated and couldn't speak.

After Liu Xing said this, he realized how serious his problem was.

The processing fee of five yuan seems to be very good, but after deducting the electricity fee and wear and tear fee, he is losing a lot!
Fortunately, Liu Xing reminded him early, otherwise he would have lost his salary this month.

"You all go and wait outside the shed! Although I said harsh words, my father and fourth uncle will naturally do what they promised you!" Liu Xing looked at the villagers in Datang Village and said coldly After a few words, he turned and left.

"Wait a minute." The rich-looking villagers of Datang Village caught up with Liu Xing: "We did something wrong before, and I sincerely apologize here, but you can't just drive us away like this."

"Then what do you want to do?" Liu Xing frowned and looked at the Futai villagers of Datang Village who were chasing after him.

"The log saw is not only capable of sawing fir trees, but also cutting materials, that is, making square materials like doors and windows. Your fourth uncle is an amateur who can't saw, but you should be able to, so I would like to ask you for a favor. The fir trees on the ground are all sawn into squares six centimeters thick and ten centimeters wide, money is not a problem, as long as the materials are straight!" Futai Datang Village villagers said seriously.

"Are you a carpenter?" Liu Xing looked at the villagers of Futai Datang Village.

"How do you know?" The villagers of Futai Datang Village were taken aback.

"If you're not a carpenter, you can't explain the previous technical terms!" Liu Xing replied, "I can pay you for the materials for the doors and windows, but I guess you don't want to pay for them."

"How do you know I'm not willing to pay if you don't tell me?" Futai Datang villager said with a smile.

"The two-meter door squares cost 1.5 yuan each, and the [-]-meter-plus window squares cost [-] yuan each. As for the processed panels, they cost [-] yuan per square meter. Would you like it?" Liu Xing thought for a while and said the price.

The price was high in 1993, but not outrageously high.

Liu Xing's intention was to let the villagers of Datang Village retreat in the face of difficulties, so as not to attract the attention of his log saw.

It's not that he doesn't make money, but that his main energy must now be on making dustpans. Once he distracts his energy, he may not be able to make any money at that time.

Of course, if the villagers in Datang Village agree to the price he said, they can take over the business. After all, the profit is huge, and it is worthwhile to work overtime at night to get one.

Unexpectedly, the villagers of Futai Datang Village agreed to the price Liu Xing said without any hesitation: "Hey! I thought the price you said was so high! That's the sentence, money is not a problem, as long as the materials come out I am satisfied with the quality."

"Really no regrets?" Liu Xing asked.

It seems that he underestimated the villagers of Datang Village. In 93, there were nouveau riche local tyrants, and he dared to say that money is not a problem.

"There's nothing to regret about it." The villagers of Futai Datang Village rubbed their belly: "Let me tell you the truth! If these fir trees on the ground were made by carpenters, the cost might be the same as that of logs sawn out. Almost there!"

"Indeed!" Liu Xing, who knew carpenter's craft, nodded slowly.

Before 97, the planer was still a luxury machine for carpenters. It was only available in large wood processing factories or large construction sites. After all, the price of a planer was several thousand, and ordinary people could not afford it. rise.

Without sharp tools for processing wood such as planers and log saws, if you want to rely on the hands of a carpenter to make the doors and windows of a house, you don't need to think about the cost.

The villagers of Futai Datang Village seem to be stupid and have a lot of money, but in fact he is shrewd!
