Chapter 83: Thinking
Wang Sangui immediately said: "All inclusive! I'm thinking of using cypress wood to make the bed, beech wood to make the cabinets, etc., and just use red paint. Take a look, how much money will it cost?"

Li Jihe had also taken over the work of a complete set of furniture before, and it was all outsourced to him, and he knew all about it.

After careful calculation, he gave a rough estimate. He didn't include any extra money for the wood or anything else. With this set of rules, he would only make money for the work.

Wang Sangui nodded secretly when he heard the price. He had already found out clearly that the price Li Jihe gave for such a set of furniture was much lower than that of carpenters elsewhere. This was true sincerity and not a rip-off at all.

This guy is really not bad.

He smiled and immediately paid a deposit and agreed with Li Jihe that the goods would be delivered before the Mid-Autumn Festival next year, and he could come and see how the furniture was doing at any time during the process.

Li Jihe Zizi agreed, "You can come at any time! If you are dissatisfied with anything at that time, I can change it immediately. My daughter's lifelong dowry cannot be careless!"

After the two settled the matter, Wang Sangui was about to leave.

Li Jihe looked like it was almost noon. He was busy and enthusiastic about leaving food, so how could he let people leave without stepping on the meal? That was not the way the Li family treated guests.

Wang Sangui came in a mule cart, and even if he rushed back to Jishang in this carriage, he would still be there. But seeing Li Jihe's enthusiasm to persuade him to stay, his eyes flashed slightly, and he immediately agreed.

Now every day, Mrs. Song and Li Xiangli had to prepare lunch for dozens of people. Meat dishes were indispensable. They were not afraid of being unsightly when entertaining guests, so Li Jihe called Uncle Song, Uncle Song and others. Li Jixiao, Li Jifu and his uncle Li Yigui came to the table to accompany the guests. Hearing Wang Sangui drinking, he also brought the wine jar.

It was only then that Wang Sangui found out that Li Jihe's family had set up a carpentry workshop with dozens of people.

Looking at the food on the table, there was a large pot of braised pork, cabbage stewed with tofu, a large plate of scrambled eggs, a pot of radish stewed with bone soup, and a dustpan of corn buns.

Wang Sangui also nodded secretly, and did not make any last-minute arrangements. He thought that these were the meals of the helpers, so he was really a kind family.

During one meal, Wang Sangui drank two glasses of wine and enjoyed the meal very happily.

After dinner, Wang Sangui took his leave, and Li Jihe sent him out the door without any further enticement.

When I got back to the backyard, I mentioned it to Uncle Song and asked him to go back and leave a message with Manager Tu today and send him some cypress and beech wood tomorrow. Although there is still more than half a year until the Mid-Autumn Festival next year, it will be a delicate one. It takes several months to create a dowry bed, so there is no room for delay.

He now wants to work slowly and little by little. He only carves the two most difficult types of wooden boxes in his hand. After dozens of wooden boxes, he can't spread out much of these two kinds, so he just carves out a lot of them while he is busy. Put the furniture on top, and the two compartments will not fall down.

At the other end, Wang Sangui was sitting in a mule cart. In less than three-quarters of an hour, he arrived at Dafengji.

Instead of continuing in the direction of Qianwang Village, we went straight through Daji and arrived at Datong Warehouse near the pier.

The mule cart stopped at the door. Wang Sangui jumped out of the cart and strode inside.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he met a dark-skinned man coming out and met him head on.

"Three nobles!"

"Liangda! Is my brother-in-law here?"

"Yes! You go in, I'll go out to do some errands and come back to have a drink with you!"

"You go and do your business! I'll talk to my brother-in-law!"

The two of them were staggered, one going out and the other going in.

In the lobby, Ding Fuguang, who was behind the counter, saw Wang Sangui coming, so he walked out of the counter and invited him to drink tea in a room in the backyard.

"Brother-in-law, I went to Li's house today. The price Li Jihe gave me cannot be said to be kind. He is the only carpenter I have met with. No, I paid the deposit for the furniture!

Brother-in-law, you don’t know, but Li Jihe is quite busy now! It is said that he opened a carpentry workshop, took big orders from the city to make wooden boxes for people, and hired many helpers and apprentices from his clan! "Wang Sangui took the tea and took a big sip, calling for his brother-in-law.

Although he is said to be a brother-in-law, he is actually not a biological brother-in-law. Ding Fuguang's wife, Mrs. Wang, is just Wang Sangui's cousin.

But for the Wang family, it was only because of Ding Fuguang, the son-in-law of the Wang family, that he became successful and helped to achieve this situation. Therefore, whether it was the Wang family's cousins ​​or clan brothers, facing Ding Fuguang, it was They are all very respectful.

No, Wang Sangui wanted to marry a daughter, and he was going to Daqiao Town to find a carpenter to make the job. But with just one word from Ding Fuguang, he went all the way to Xiahe Village without saying a word.

Speaking of which, his brother-in-law introduced the carpenter to such a generous price, which saved him a lot. He had to thank his brother-in-law instead!

But thanks were thanks, and he was also wondering in his heart why his brother-in-law let him get in touch with Li Jihe and asked him to explain in detail what happened to Li Jihe when he came back.

Ding Fuguang raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard that the Li family had set up a carpentry workshop and was busy making wooden boxes.

The pomegranate girl hadn't come to sell fructose for a long time, but it was Hu Ji who did. He originally wondered if Pomegranate sold the fructose prescription to Hu Ji.

But when Qian'er inquired about it, he found out that it was not the case. However, Pomegranate Girl had indeed sold the prescription, but not to Hu Ji, but to the Liu family.

When he heard the news, he was very surprised. He really didn't expect that this pomegranate would be related to Liu Dong's family.

Who is the Liu family? They are one of the top businessmen in Bingzhou. They have accumulated wealth for generations and are as rich as the country.

If she was just rich, then the old aunt of the Liu family would have married into the Huai'an Marquis Mansion in the capital.

Just talking about Daming Mansion, the sister of Liu Dong's family married Mr. Tongzhi, which is already a very good background.

Although it was only Shopkeeper Huang who came to interview, Shopkeeper Huang was the number one shopkeeper in the Liu Dong family, and he represented the Liu Dong family.

The fact that Pomegranate was able to negotiate business with Shopkeeper Huang is already highly regarded. The current order of making wooden boxes is probably related to the Liu family.

This pomegranate is real! He didn't make a mistake.

Just based on these two things, his thoughts were already settled.

After seeing off Wang Sangui, Ding Fuguang didn't waste much time. He asked Ding Liangda, who had just come back from outside, to look at this place, and then he took the carriage back to the city.

Ding Li, the driver, has been with Ding Fuguang for more than ten years. He knows some tricks and is good at driving. Ding Fuguang always takes him with him wherever he goes.

The journey was fast and steady, and we entered the city in just over an hour.

When we arrived at the two alleys of Wuliuxiang in the north of the city, it was already dark.

The third house in Ertiao Hutong is the big house in Sanjin. This was bought by Ding Fuguang from his old employer after he became rich. It is a century-old house with a large garden and lotus pond. The whole set of huanghuali furniture has a good view and a good layout.

Ding Fuguang liked this house very much, so he brought his family here to live and designated it as the ancestral home of his Ding family.

As for his original ancestral home?

Ding Fuguang thought about the dilapidated thatched house, the unfriendly neighbors, and the darkness of his entire childhood, and he couldn't help but shake his head, so he didn't mention it.

He got off the carriage. When the porter saw him coming back, he immediately shouted happily, "Quick! Go and tell my wife that the master is back!"

Then he came out.
