suspected wife

That night, Qiao Mingjin told Father He and other five people her thoughts and plans for the future.

Everyone felt that if this matter was really done well, it would be a very good job.

The cost is not high, it is nothing more than some labor and some expenses that may be spent on selling in the future.

It's not like other things that have to be prepared with money and stock.

Even Yunjin was a little moved when she heard this.

Of course, if you can't find suitable wood, you need to find some suitable wood and spend money to buy it.It's just that the previous investment doesn't require too much money, which is better than other transactions that need to make a difference.

It's just that no one has ever done this kind of thing.That is to say, Father He has seen some similar things in some big families, and asked him to make things out of wooden roots and bamboo roots, but he has never tried it.

These few people usually make household and living utensils, that is, to paint and carve some flowers on the furniture wood. They have never done anything that requires carving images on the roots of the wood.

Qiao Mingjin looked at the five people who were very interested but also at a loss, and said, "I'm not in a hurry about this matter. I'm here today to tell you some of my preliminary thoughts. I know you haven't done it before. There is no bottom line. But it doesn’t matter, let’s cross the river by feeling the stones first, if it works, it will be a different situation in the future. If it doesn’t work, there is nothing to lose.”

"Whether there is a finished product or not, I will calculate your wages on a daily basis, which is no less than what you get for doing work elsewhere. If there is a finished product in the future, and it is sold successfully, I will give you [-]% as an extra Salary. In addition to everyone having a share, whoever independently participates in the finished product will also get [-]% of the bulk. The rest will be used as my sales cost. As for sales, I must find another company to cooperate with, and I am alone It cannot be sold at a good price, and we cannot just focus on the Qingchuan market."

She paused and then said: "If you are willing, we will do it together, and we will share according to this. The remaining [-]% must be shared with the partners. I don't know how much I can get. If this matter is done well Now, maybe a piece of decoration can sell hundreds of taels or thousands of taels. If you have confidence, follow me to do it. If you don’t want to, I won’t force you. I will sell this idea to others and help them draw pictures. You can also get a lot of money.”

After Qiao Mingjin finished speaking, he looked at Father He and the other five.

He Xiaochun and Father He's two disciples both looked at Father He, while Yue Dalei looked at his wife.

Miss Xiu glared at him.Said: "Why do you look at me? You shouldn't do such a good job? Waiting to go to the city to get jobs, to see people's faces? Follow my sister, and you are in the village. You can take care of anything at home, The wind can't blow and the rain can't. I have money to take, how can my sister lose you?"

Yue Dalei stared back at her: "Did I mean that? I was worried that I wouldn't be able to do it!"

Looking back at Qiao Mingjin again, she said, "Jin Niang. To be honest, I can do some simple carpentry work. I'm afraid I won't be able to do fine work. Afraid of affecting your affairs."

Father He also looked at her and said, "I think so too. After all, you made these things to sell, not for your own use. If we don't do well, the price will be hard to say. And listen to your words Said that these things can only be sold to rich families. If they are not exquisitely made, I am afraid they will not be sold in the end. They can only be brought back to be used as firewood."

Qiao Mingjin smiled and said: "These are not problems, I just want to know, are you willing to partner with me to do this? After all, I am a woman, let alone wooden stakes, I have nothing to do with pulling wooden stakes back. As long as you have the confidence to do it together, everything else is fine.”

Yue Dalei then said: "As long as you don't mind the rough work my brother does, my brother is willing to follow you! Where can I find such a good job? I don't know if the things can be sold, and I will get paid, and at the door of the house, I can still take care of my family. I am willing to follow my sister!"

Then Father He looked at the two apprentices who were eagerly looking at him and his son who was eagerly looking at him, and nodded to Qiao Mingjin, "We will follow Mother Jin. If you do this well, you will be able to eat well." After dinner, every family may be able to build a new house, buy land and buy land. I saw a wooden ornament in a big family's house before, and it seemed to be carved out of wood. It can’t be seen that it was carved, it seems to be so long naturally. I heard that the wooden ornament costs a thousand gold!”

"Tsk tsk tsk, as long as we make such a thing, it will be enough to eat. Besides, Jinniang, you took [-]% of it, which is too much. After all, the smell of wine is afraid of deep alleys. No matter how good the food is, it will sell It’s useless not to go out, just take one cent as wages, and one tenth as a reward from the master.”

The other four nodded their heads.

Qiao Mingjin balked again, and finally ordered a decoration with [-]% to pay, [-]% to wages, and [-]% to the main creative master.

The five people had no objection after hearing this, and they all expressed their willingness to follow Qiao Mingjin in this matter.

It's just that everyone still lacks confidence.

Father He said again: "This decoration is different from making furniture. It also needs to pay attention to the natural form. None of us have made anything with wooden roots. I'm afraid we can't get started."

Qiao Mingjin reassured: "It doesn't matter. You can't become a big fat man with one bite. We groped while doing it. Although you have never done it, you have done carpentry, which is somewhat similar. As for ideas and drawings, I will Draw it for your reference, as for the process of the craft, I still know a little bit, and I will tell you when the time comes."

Yun Jin originally just listened quietly from the side, thinking that nothing happened to him.But after hearing what Qiao Mingjin said, he said, "Sister, I want to work with you too."

Qiao Mingjin smiled at him and said, "Okay. Even if you don't tell me, I want to pull you to do it together."

"But sister, I don't know how to do carpentry. I'm afraid I can only do rough work."

Qiao Mingjin said: "Besides rough work, there are too many things you can do, such as outreach, observing the outside market, whether things can be sold, etc. I'm afraid you will have to run away. Your role is no better than They are light."

Yun Jin was overwhelmed with pride when she heard this, she patted her chest and said, "Sister, don't worry, I will leave the outside affairs to my brother, and you only need to take care of the family. You have been literate since you were a child, and you are good at drawing and painting." , it all depends on you!"

Qiao Mingjin was very happy to see him in high spirits.

After working hard for him, he made another arrangement for everyone.

Now with the addition of Yunjin, she can free up her hands to think about some root carving crafts she has seen in her previous life, and then draw them.

In the future, she will have to do the work of finding the right wood and conceiving creative designs.

Then there is the market.

Now that there is Yunjin, Qiao Mingjin directly ordered him to go to various furniture shops or related markets in the city to learn about it from tomorrow.

Then, he arranged for Father He to go to the city to make various knives.

Although the five of them have done woodworking before and have some related knives, doing woodcarving is different from making furniture.Some work requires extremely fine and meticulous work, so the knives used are naturally different.

In addition to the axes, saws, and rasps that are used in carpentry, there are also flat knives, round knives, oblique knives, hammers, etc.

Everyone should have at least one set.And we need to build a few more sets of equipment.Because some hard wood and tough wood can hurt knives very much.Sometimes it takes more than a dozen sets of knives to damage a finished product.

Then there is the selection of materials.

This required Yue Dalei, He Xiaochun and others to go to the mountains to find suitable wood.

What kind of wood can be used, and what kind of wood can't be used, they have to find them.

Generally speaking, woods such as basswood, catalpa, pine, etc. are soft and easy to carve.But these woods are lighter in color and not easy to preserve, because it is easy to break and damage.

However, hard woods such as mahogany, rosewood, boxwood, almond wood, and nut wood are too tough and difficult to carve, and it takes a long time to carve, and it is very easy to damage the knife.

However, because of its fine texture and bright color, hardwood is very suitable for carving works with complex structures and fine shapes. Such works are also the most valuable for collection.

Only when they have personally participated in the search for these woods and touched them can they exert their richest imagination and create the best works.

Qiao Mingjin made a little division of labor among the six people.

The ones at home tomorrow are Yue Dalei, He Xiaochun and He's father's two apprentices.

She, Yunjin and He's father are going to the city.

She was going to buy some pens and inks for drawing.

In addition to what she needs, she also needs to buy some for Ming Qi and Wan'er.Qiao Mingjin never thought that a woman's lack of talent is virtue.Being uneducated is a terrible thing.

She also doesn't want the two children to be blind in the future.

Yunjin, Qiao Mingjin asked him to look around in Qingchuan County to learn about the market, and then went to Yongchuan, Luochuan and other places around Qingchuan.You can't work hard to make things, but you can't sell them without a market.

Father He went to the blacksmith's shop to order some knives.

Qiao Mingjin had been sending firewood to Yu Ji before, knowing what Yu Ji did.Not to mention Yu Ji's reputation, but to talk about the fineness of the work in his shop, no one in Qingchuan City can match it.

There are some fine knives that can only be made by Yu Ji.

After hearing Qiao Mingjin's arrangements, sister Xiu asked in a low voice, "Mother Jin, do you still need someone? How about I work for you too?"

Yue Dalei glared at her, and said, "What kind of work can you do? Can you carry it, carry it, or carve it?"

After hearing this, Sister Xiu immediately replied loudly: "If you want wooden stakes, don't you need someone to dig them? Or do you have to dig the wooden stakes yourself besides carving them yourself? Shouldn't you be exhausted?"

After hearing this, Qiao Mingjin suddenly thought of this question. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
