Reborn Craftsman

Chapter 50 If you don't brag, you will die!

Zhu Xiuqing was assigned to make baskets, so she naturally had no objections. Taking this opportunity, she made a request to Liu Xing, that is, to take over her 13-year-old sister 'Zhu Xiaoxiao' to help with the work.

From the age of 13 to 16, that is the time to study in the city, but in the countryside, almost many families with no money have dropped out of school and stayed at home to work, or herding cattle and killing pigs, or with some A craftsman learns a craft as an apprentice.

Liu Xing was 16 years old before he was reborn. After graduating from junior high school, he learned carpentry from his third uncle and started his craft life. Even get beaten.

Thinking about it now, he has really tried everything in his life.

Sister Xiuqing called her younger sister to come over at this time and said that she was here to help, but in fact she was here to be an apprentice. Liu Xing could understand this without thinking about it.

Originally, he wanted to refuse directly, but after thinking about the conditions in Sister Xiuqing's house and Zhu Xiaoxiao's current situation, he finally thought it over and agreed.

There is no way, if he is working outside and leaving a younger sister at home, he will not be at ease. If he has the opportunity to work together and learn the craftsmanship of a bamboo craftsman, wouldn't that kill two birds with one stone?
Of course, he also thought about subsidizing Zhu Xiaoxiao's studies, but when he learned that Zhu Xiaoxiao hadn't studied for three years, he immediately rejected the whole idea.

After all, if I couldn't keep up with my studies in 1993, the teacher wouldn't accept me at all.

After Zhu Xiuqing learned that Liu Xing had agreed to her request, she happily asked for leave and went back to pick up her sister by tractor.

"Hey! Hey! Don't go so fast!"

Liu Xing originally wanted to send Miss Xiuqing home in person, but when he saw the tractor going away, he shook his head and smiled lightly, not knowing what to say for a while.

This sister Xiuqing is really impatient.

……

Time flies by inadvertently.

It was a quarter past three in the afternoon, and Liu Xing, who had rested, began to fiddle with the big wooden barrel for soup next to the planer again.

Although the parents saw this scene, they didn't ask any more questions. After all, in their minds, Liu Xing would not do useless things.

This kind of intimate trust allowed Liu Xing to proceed smoothly with his plan to open a breakfast restaurant, but the progress of the big wooden barrel for boiling soup was very slow. Because Liu Xing was laborious to use woodworking tools such as log planers, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon. The rudiment of the big wooden barrel gradually emerged.

Just as he was about to make the big wooden barrel in one go, a tractor full of wood stopped at the door of the shed, and then a burly farmer jumped off the co-pilot of the tractor and walked directly into the shed: "Which one of you is the boss?" ?”

Liu Dagen stood up and was about to talk when he heard the words, but his fourth uncle Liu Huaqing preempted him. He pointed to Liu Xing: "He is the boss, tell him what you want."

"Oh, good! Good! I'm from Damo Village. I heard that you can process door and window materials here?" The burly farmer walked up to Liu Xing and asked with a silly smile.

"It can be processed. The door and window material is more than 1.5 meters, and the price is less than [-] meters. If you want to find it expensive, you can go to a carpenter to process it!" Liu Xing quoted the price without nonsense.

"Hi! I won't come to you if I think it's too expensive. I was introduced by Lao Zhou!" The burly farmer said: "Then can I unload all the wood for processing now?"

"Yes!" Liu Xing nodded.

Seeing that the fourth uncle came to do business, he rubbed his hands and stepped forward to help.

Seeing this, Liu Dageng also followed behind.

The burly farmer's tractor has more than 100 pieces of wood at least. If it is processed into door and window materials, there will be at least several hundred processing fees. This is a big customer and we must not slack off.

However, before they carried the fir into the shed, another large truck with a whole load of fir parked behind the tractor, and the bald driver poked his head out: "Damn, the business of this bamboo products workshop is so good! I know it will come tomorrow."

"What are you doing?" Liu Dagen raised his head and asked.

"What else can I do? The door and window wood processing is from Lianhua Middle School. My boss heard that there is a log saw here, so he drove here to process it!" The bald driver replied.

"If you don't wait a moment, the wood for this tractor will be processed soon!" Fourth Uncle Liu Huaqing said.

"How long will it take?" the bald driver asked.

The fourth uncle Liu Huaqing looked at Liu Xing when he heard the words, he really didn't know the exact time.

"At least one hour. If you don't want to wait, go back and come back tomorrow! Or go to another place for processing." Liu Xing waved his hand, turned around and adjusted the belt of the log saw.

The bald driver who said this was taken aback for a moment, and after recovering, he opened the car door and walked out: "If there is a log saw nearby, I would still use it here! You kid, you really don't know how to do business."

"Hehe...he's like this, don't mind!" Liu Dageng also felt that Liu Xing's words were a little unreasonable, so he hurriedly stepped forward to smoke the bald driver.

At this moment, Boss Zhao, who was buying and selling timber at the market, appeared at the door of the shed. He saw Liu Dagen, and hurriedly pulled him aside: "Old Liu! I want to lend you your log saw tonight. Give it a go!"

"How can I do that? I didn't see that many people like me are waiting to process door and window materials. It is estimated that the log saw will not be available for two days!" Liu Dagen said repeatedly.

"Yeah! I've been waiting for hours!" the bald driver lied without blushing.

"It's not that I won't give you money, why are you refusing so quickly?" Boss Zhao glared at the bald driver, then turned to Liu Dagen: "Let me tell you the truth! I borrowed the log saw to process door and window materials. And there are hundreds of them.”

"Even if there are [-] log saws, I don't want to borrow them, and I don't even think about whether you can use a log saw?" The fourth uncle, who had been silent all this time, couldn't hold back anymore, and said with a frown.

Boss Zhao really doesn't understand the taste. The log saw is very important to the guy who eats, so there is no reason to borrow it when you say it.

"I used to be a carpenter, don't underestimate me!" Boss Zhao raised his crippled right thumb: "See, it was chopped off by an axe."

"You!" Fourth Uncle Liu Huaqing was stunned and speechless.

Liu Dagen was also in a difficult situation. He was about to talk to Liu Xing when Liu Xing’s voice came from beside the log saw: "Boss Zhao, you will die if you don’t brag! Who said that a carpenter must know how to saw a log? How about you now? Come and try?"

"Come here!" Boss Zhao rolled up his sleeves and walked into the shed, and came to the log saw.

"Please!" Liu Xing took several steps back.

Boss Zhao sneered, and circled the log saw several times, but he didn't press the button to turn it on.

"What do you want to do?" Liu Xing couldn't help reminding.

"Where is that... ahem... where is the switch button?" Boss Zhao asked with a blushing face.
