Movie: Get Alpha Dog at the start

Chapter 242 Don't wait, don't rely on it, live on your own

Qin Hao asked around in the market, wood and other things are easy to get, the key is sponge and springs are not easy to get, especially springs, the industrial system in the mainland is not developed at the end of the 60s, the steel output is only [-] million tons, and there is a shortage of steel in the whole country , And even set off a wave of iron smelting by the whole people.

Even though the small spring seems inconspicuous, it actually requires a fairly mature industrial base to produce it. Coupled with the background of national steel shortage, the output is even less, and it is difficult to find in the market.

Just when Qin Hao was at a loss and was about to go home, he suddenly saw a rag-collector walking past him, his eyes lit up.

"Master, I want to ask you something, where is the waste collection station?"

The uncle looked at Qin Hao suspiciously for a while: "What's the matter, man? Are you going to do this too?"

"Hey, do you think I'm trying to steal business from you?" Qin Hao laughed.

The uncle also thought about it: "You young people don't care about such a dirty business, okay, I'll show you, and you go straight along this way."

According to the road pointed by the uncle, Qin Hao finally found a waste collection station in a corner.

As soon as I entered, I saw a variety of second-hand goods, such as old books and newspapers, dilapidated furniture, and some porcelain and bronze wares that looked very old, just randomly piled up in the corner.

Qin Hao didn't know much about others, but there was a Song Dynasty Jun kiln rose and purple crabapple flowerpot in it. If it was placed in later generations, it would definitely be a priceless treasure.

"Hey, that little comrade, why are you sticking with this for a long time?" A tall and thin man shouted at Qin Hao.

Only then did Qin Hao look away, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and handed one to the other party: "Comrade, I want to ask, do you sell all these waste products?"

"Hey, Xiangshan, this is a good thing." When the other party saw the cigarette box, his eyes lit up, and he took it with a smile, and his tone softened a lot.

"Little comrade, you have taken a fancy to these antiques, don't make up your mind, they are all counted, don't look at our place as a waste collection station, it is also owned by the public, if there is one missing, the higher authorities will be held accountable, and the other is a speculator With the hat off, who can bear it?"

Qin Hao didn't feel regretful at all. Although antiques come in quickly, they can't quench his thirst. After the re-opening, he has a lot of ways to make money.

"Misunderstood, brother, I am actually an apprentice carpenter. I want to get some old furniture to practice my hands. But I can't afford new materials, so I can only come here to try my luck."

The other party looked at Qin Hao suspiciously. Qin Hao knew that the other party thought that he was not a carpenter in his attire as a kid from a big courtyard.

"Isn't my dad coming in? Now I'm the only one left in the family. I have to learn some crafts to support myself." Qin Hao's words are not deceiving.

"It turns out that it's like this, and it's hard for you." The other party didn't doubt it, and he had seen this kind of thing a lot these days.

"However, we have a count of what we collect here, so we can't give it to private individuals."

The scrap collection stations are connected to various state-owned enterprises. For example, scrap copper and rotten iron will be handed over to smelters for re-melting. These are public property, and they must be held accountable if they are lost.

Qin Hao directly slapped the pack of Xiangshan brand cigarettes in the opponent's hand, and the opponent quietly put it in his pocket, and then whispered to Qin Hao.

"Well, it's not that there is no room for manipulation. You have craftsmanship. I can tell our director to let you repair these dilapidated furniture. As for the amount of materials, it is normal to have wear and tear. "

Qin Hao's eyes lit up: "Then I'll leave it to the elder brother, and there will be rewards after the matter is completed."

"Hey, what are you being polite about, they're all our own people."

If it weren't for the fact that money can turn ghosts around, even people in the 60s can't stand the corruption of this candy shell.

After talking to Qin Hao, he found out that this person is called Liu Yu, and he is a temporary worker at the waste collection station. It is hard to find a job these days. Don't think this job is decent, and there is no establishment yet. Liu Yu's parents have spent a lot of effort to get in. of.

In fact, at this stage, social problems are already obvious. A large number of young people cannot find jobs in the city and wander around idlely, which has caused great pressure on social security.

Liu Yu quickly took Qin Hao to meet the director here, and the director asked Qin Hao when he heard that Qin Hao could beat furniture.

"Can you hit the sofa?"

Qin Hao nodded: "As long as there are materials, there is no problem. Do you want American style or European style?"

"Yo, your tone is not small, you can do it?" Director Li looked at Qin Hao with a smile.

Qin Hao said calmly: "Don't dare to say anything else, this skill is definitely eye-catching."

Facing Director Li's gaze, Liu Yu could only smile. Qin Hao said just now that he was an apprentice carpenter. Who would have thought that he would boast such a thing? He wants to slap himself twice right now. What about a pack of cigarettes?
"Okay, then you can use these materials to make an American sofa and have a look!"

In fact, Director Li doesn't have much hope for Qin Hao. A young man like Qin Hao, even if he studied with his master when he was very young, is at most an apprentice now. The sofa is no better than Chinese furniture, as long as there are not four The same length of feet can make do with it.

The craftsmanship of the sofa is much more complicated. Making the frame, ordering the elastic band, cutting the sponge, installing the spring, and sewing the outer leather cover are all handicrafts, and even a master craftsman may not be able to do it well.

Qin Hao didn't waste any extra nonsense, he directly asked Liu Yu for the tools, and started looking for suitable materials in the pile of waste furniture.

Seeing Qin Hao's swift dismantling action, Director Li had some expectations for him.

Qin Hao first saw the wood into the required length with a saw, and then fixed it with nails one by one, and then removed the elastic band, sponge and spring from the old sofa.

After working for more than two hours, a classic three-seater American sofa was completed. The only fly in the ointment is that the leather of the coat is old. If a new set of leather is replaced, no one can guess. Put together from a pile of junk.

"Okay, that's great, Xiao Qin, your skills are definitely like this." Director Li sat on it and tried it. After the experience, he gave Qin Hao a thumbs up.

Qin Hao patted the dust on his body lightly: "It's okay."

Director Li whispered to Qin Hao: "Xiao Qin, can you help me with a set of 36 legs, my son is getting married next month."

The 36 legs are actually a set of furniture, including a bed, a three-door chest, a chest of drawers, a dressing table, a sofa, and the Eight Immortals table plus four stools, adding up to a total of 36 legs.

In the 60s, those who could get together 36 legs were definitely a big family, even better than the three turns and one sound later.

Qin Hao pretended to be embarrassed and looked at the pile of waste furniture: "But the materials are not enough."

Director Li waved his hands again and again: "Hey, how can my son use old ones when he gets married? All the materials are new ones. I have prepared them all, but I can't find a master with excellent craftsmanship."

These days, all skilled craftsmen have entered the factory. It is really difficult to find a master to do such a big project with 36 legs.

"Where are these old furniture"

Director Li is also very good, with a big wave of his hand: "You are so good, you are just a piece of junk, but let's make it clear first, you can't sell it anywhere, if you are caught, I will..."

Qin Hao patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, I will never sell it. I just want to exchange some industrial tickets or something."

"That's good, that's good, Master Xiaoqin, when do you think we will start?" Director Li is also in a hurry, and there are not many days until next month. If he delays his son's marriage, he will definitely be blamed when he goes back.

"As long as the materials are in place, it can be done at any time." Qin Hao said to Director Li in a low voice.

"Director Li, these springs and sponges are not easy to get. Where did you get them?"

Director Li sent Liu Yu away a long time ago, looked around to see if there was no one there, and then said to Qin Hao: "I also dragged the relationship, and found a boy from the big courtyard, called Li Yuanchao, this kid is Lu Ziye."

Li Yuanchao is currently the leader among the children of the big courtyard. Because of his loyalty, long-sleeved and good at dancing, he has the meaning of raining Song Gongming in time, and he is admired by the children of the big courtyard.

"It was him."

Director Li asked curiously: "Xiao Qin, do you know Li Yuanchao?"

"I heard that their compound is not far from our compound." Qin Hao said pointedly.

Director Li became more polite to Qin Hao when he heard that Qin Hao was also a student of the big courtyard.

In the afternoon, Director Li sent the materials to Qin Hao's compound. Qin Hao also took advantage of this pile of materials to publicize his craftsmanship and immediately started to make furniture.

"Hey, Xiao Qin, why are you sawing and chiseling?" Uncle Jin next door is a warm-hearted man who also likes to watch the excitement.

Qin Hao wiped the sweat off his forehead and smiled: "Uncle Jin, what do you think I am doing?"

Uncle Jin turned around with his hands behind his back: "You look decent, are you planning to learn carpentry?"

"almost."

"Okay, it's good to learn a craft. It's not overwhelming. There will always be times when it will be useful."

After finishing speaking, Uncle Jin went for a walk, and chattered to the neighbors nearby, saying that Qin Hao was learning carpentry, and he was much better than those foolish bad boys.

Qin Hao didn't know that he had been a child of someone else's family for some reason, and he had been busy all afternoon. Seeing that the sun was about to set, the compound became lively.

When Zhou Xiaobai came back pushing his bicycle, he saw Qin Hao cleaning up sawdust, and came forward curiously.

"Brother Qin, did you do all of this?"

Qin Hao put the sawdust into the bucket. In the 60s, urban residents mainly burned briquettes and briquettes. In rural areas, they still burned firewood. These are good materials for starting fires.

"What do you think?"

Zhou Xiaobai tightened his red scarf and asked curiously, "Brother Qin, when did you learn this skill? This set of Eight Immortals table and chairs looks so exquisite."

It's no wonder Zhou Xiaobai thinks it's exquisite. The Eight Immortals table and chairs made by Qin Hao didn't use a nail in the whole process. They used the traditional mortise and tenon structure, which is not only more beautiful, but also more durable than nails and screws.

Many high-end furniture in later generations use this as a selling point, but these furniture brands are all foreign brands without exception. On the contrary, domestic furniture rarely uses mortise and tenon structures.

"It's not bad, I just learned it recently, let's try it out." Qin Hao said.

Zhou Xiaobai was speechless: "Doing so well is the only way to practice your hands?"

The surrounding neighbors watched Qin Hao's craftsmanship, and couldn't help but lean forward.

"Xiao Qin, are you kicking 36 legs?"

Qin Hao didn't hide it either, he still counted on the neighbors in the neighborhood to help publicize it: "Well, an elder's son got married and asked me to help call him."

With that said, someone moved their minds.

"Then Xiao Qin, can you also help our family make a set? We will pay according to how much he gives."

Qin Hao shook his head as soon as he heard it: "Aunt Zeng, you are slapping me in the face. As for the relationship between our neighbors in this street, how can I collect money from you? Besides, this is not speculation."

Aunt Zeng laughed like a Maitreya Buddha when she heard it. She was about to speak, but she heard Qin Hao say it again.

"But you also know that my father is not at home now, and I can only receive some food expenses every month. If you have extra food or industrial tickets at home, please help me."

Everyone felt reasonable when they heard it, after all, people can't do nothing for nothing.

"Okay, then it's settled, my son is about to get married, when will you be free?" Aunt Zeng said boldly, patting her chest.

Everyone congratulated, and some people moved their minds and wanted to ask Qin Hao to help build furniture, most of which were sofas. After all, there are too few carpenters who can make sofas these days, and this is a scarce resource.

Seeing that everyone was about to fight, Qin Hao quickly persuaded him: "Everyone, don't worry, the days are still long, let's come one by one, everyone has to prepare the materials first, right?"

Even the people who live in the compound are not all high-ranking and powerful. If they want to get materials, they have to rely on their connections to find someone, and the time can always be staggered.

Everyone thought it made sense when they heard it. After watching the excitement for a while, they went home to cook.

After Zhou Xiaobai returned home, he told the news about Qin Hao learning to be a carpenter, and Father Zhou nodded appreciatively.

"Xiao Qin is good. He doesn't wait or rely on him. He doesn't mourn or complain. He seeks his own way out. With such a spirit, he will not be troubled by any difficulties in the future."

Mother Zhou looked at her daughter with a smile: "Xiao Bai, tell mom honestly, do you like Xiao Qin?"

Zhou Xiaobai lowered his head shyly, pretended to take off the red scarf, and coquettishly grabbed his mother's arm: "Mom~~~"

Zhou's mother patted her hand: "Xiaobai, mother has no objection to your falling in love, but there is one thing, you can't hide it from us, you have to report to us at any stage of development!"

"Oh, mom, I haven't even written this horoscope yet. What are you talking nonsense, I'm ignoring you." Zhou Xiaobai ran away under the staring eyes of his parents.

Soon, the name of "Carpenter Qin" spread around the neighborhood, and almost every day people came to him to order furniture. They all like to buy materials by themselves and invite people to make furniture.

Moreover, Qin Hao's fees are low, and his craftsmanship is undeniable. Naturally, people have no resistance to high-quality and cheap things.

Now Qin Hao can build three or four pieces of furniture every day, some for food, some for industrial rolls, and some directly gave Qin Hao an old hen, stewed a pot of old chicken soup, and the courtyard was full of fragrance.
