Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 468 Buying a Wheelchair

"Ya'er, you are..." Liu Dacheng followed Liu Ya's gaze, and of course also saw the woodware shop.

And what caught Liu Ya's attention at the door of the woodware store should be a wooden wheelchair in front of the store.

Liu Dacheng immediately understood Liu Ya's intentions, and quickly said: "No need, Ya'er, don't spend any more money on daddy, daddy doesn't need this thing."

"Father, this thing can be temporarily used as your legs and feet." Liu Ya walked over, tied up the horse, and said to Liu Dacheng: "I understand what Father means, you mean that you are currently undergoing treatment, and it has been cured. There is no need for this transportation. But according to my guess, it will take at least two or three years for your legs to walk by themselves. During this period, it would be very comfortable if you can walk around the house or in the yard by yourself. It’s okay if you haven’t seen it, it’s in front of you now, of course you want to buy one.”

After Liu Ya finished speaking, without waiting for Liu Dacheng's objection, she pressed his hand and signaled him to sit here and wait, then walked towards the wheelchair at the door of the woodware shop.

This wheelchair is completely made of wood, with few nails or the like.It is only for wear resistance that a smooth and smooth iron sheet will be wrapped around the corners.Liu Ya wanted to give it a try, so she went to the store and asked, "How can I sell this wheelchair? Can I try it?"

"Here we come." A young man promised to come out, holding an iron ruler in his hand, nodded to Liu Ya and said, "Miss, do you want to buy a wheelchair? You can try it, but you can't sit on it, and you can't push it too far. , just push at this door."

The store's request was not unreasonable, and Liu Ya didn't object, so she pushed the handle of the wheelchair and walked back and forth at the door twice.

Although this wooden wheelchair looks clumsy, it is still very light to push.I have known for a long time that the ancient skills are very exquisite, and now Liu Ya has some insight.The only fly in the ointment is that this wheelchair looks a bit fancy.From Liu Ya's point of view, the wheelchair can be a little lighter if the decorations are removed in many places.

Liu Ya asked, "How do you sell this wheelchair?"

The young man said: "Three taels of silver. This is made by my master, and the craftsmanship is very good. Girl, look at the iron sheet on the corners, it is made to order, it is beautiful and wear-resistant. The pattern, my master carved it for a whole day."

As the young man said, he turned the wheelchair around and motioned Liu Ya to see that there were patterns on the back of the chair.

Liu Ya didn't pay attention to this position just now, but now she looked down and saw a pattern of Eight Immortals crossing the sea embossed on the back of the chair with a piece of boxwood board.Then it was embedded in the back of the chair, which looked nice.However, such an extra burden is actually completely unnecessary.

Liu Ya looked at the wheelchair with the cart before the horse, and sighed. She felt that it was not very practical to make a wheelchair. If she paid attention to these fancy styles, it would be better to make the wheelchair lighter, and the price would be cheaper. The door is decorated.In fact, things like wheelchairs are meant for the disabled. How many people can be Zhuge Liang, and they sit in a wheelchair just to put on airs.

Liu Ya's disappointment and sigh were seen by the young man, and he thought Liu Ya was too expensive, so he said, "Girl, it took my master two months from selecting materials to making this wheelchair." .And in the past two months, my master has repeatedly studied it many times, and even discarded one, so I have such a labor-saving and beautiful wheelchair. It is actually very worth the three taels of silver."

Knowing that he had misunderstood, Liu Ya shook her head and said, "I don't think it's too expensive, but I just think some fancy things are unnecessary. Can this wheelchair be customized? I want a simple and practical one. For example, the description on the back is unnecessary. , The hemming here and here is actually not necessary. The iron sheet is still wear-resistant when hugged on the pedals, but the bottom and back are places that cannot be touched, it’s just good-looking, it’s really unnecessary.”

After listening to Liu Ya, the young man looked at her in surprise, but didn't answer.

Liu Ya thought he couldn't order it, so she sighed again, and said, "Well, I bought this wheelchair. But can you please remove these cumbersome things? My family doesn't have much strength. , it’s really inconvenient to move it occasionally, and of course the lighter the better for my dad’s normal use.”

After speaking, Liu Ya was about to pay.

The young man quickly shook his head and said, "No, Miss, I misunderstood. I just thought that your thoughts were the same as mine. I was stunned for a while, and there was no other meaning." Having said that, the young man quietly looked back at the store, He whispered: "Because of this problem, my master has scolded me many times. He always thinks that my workmanship is not fine and the things I make are not good-looking. But I think that these practical things, as long as they are simple and durable Well, the lighter it is, the less effort it takes. Now that I finally have the approval of the girl, I feel at ease."

After hearing what he said, Liu Ya understood that it turned out that there were differences between the master and the apprentice on the application of technology and the practicality of the items.One advocates exquisiteness and beauty, while the other strives for practicality and simplicity. In fact, there is nothing wrong with both of them, but they are just different perceptions.

However, as far as the wheelchair in front of her was concerned, Liu Ya still agreed with the young man's opinion.As for the master who pursues exquisiteness, it doesn't mean that he didn't do well, maybe some high-end people will be more receptive.

Liu Ya said: "Then can you help me order a simple and light wheelchair, or help me change this?" If it's just this, Liu Ya thinks it's better not to buy it, because it's too heavy. Moreover, those depictions and designs do not conform to the small farmyard in Pingshan Village.

This is like a Ferrari sports car, walking on a rugged country road, it looks out of tune and has poor practicality.But if it is an off-road vehicle, even if it is an ordinary domestic brand, its speed and stability must be better than that of a sports car.

After Liu Ya finished asking, the young man looked into the store again, then lowered his voice and said, "If the girl trusts me, come with me to the back. I also made a wheelchair, and I want to show it to the girl." look."

Liu Ya also looked inside the shop, but she didn't see the carpenter who was said to be very "exquisite".But according to what this little apprentice means, is he planning to steal the master's business?However, if Liu Ya likes his wheelchair more, it doesn't matter which one he buys.After all, what she wants is practicality, not fancy and beautiful things.

Thinking of this, Liu Ya said: "Yes, but let's say it first, if I don't like it, I won't take it."

The young man nodded and said, "Of course, it is my great honor that the girl is willing to follow me to have a look."
