Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 513

Now that the new house is coming to an end, the frames are all set up, and the only thing that needs to be done is to cover the tiles at the end, and it will be considered complete.However, the interior still needs minor repairs. For example, the positions of the doors and windows are still empty, and the walls must be plastered with fine plaster, and finally painted with white plaster twice.It's all a post-fix thing.However, in ancient times, there were no special decoration teams and decoration workers, and it was masons who did the work.

Of course, if the men of each family are dexterous and capable, they can also repair and repair the house themselves.As for the work of the Liu family, Liu Dacheng couldn't do it, Xiao Shu'er was still young, and the two girls Liu Ya and Liu Xu'er's family definitely couldn't do it either, so the two apprentices of Master Gu were responsible for the meticulous work of finishing the house decoration.The four helpers invited by Master Gu first went to Xiaoshuipu to dig the underground storage room.

Liu Ya pushed the wheelchair and led Xu Chenming to the new house. Xu Chenming showed a surprised expression when he saw it.After all, he had just come out of the Liu family's old house. The dilapidated house, cracked walls, and old furniture all showed that the situation of the Liu family could only be described by the word "poor".Moreover, Liu's house is at the far end of Pingshan Village, and Xu Chenming probably can find that the house of Liu's house is probably the most dilapidated one in the village.

But the five big houses in front of us, although they haven't been roofed yet, can be seen to be not small in size and well-designed; it is estimated that after decoration and furniture, they will definitely be regarded as one of the richest households in the village.Such a big contrast, not to mention Xu Chenming who didn't understand the situation, in fact, even these people in Pingshan Village were surprised.

Liu Ya was used to Xu Chenming's surprise.However, Liu Ya carefully looked at Xu Chenming's expression, and found that apart from his surprise, there was no expression of greed or envy.

Speaking of it this way, there are generally two possibilities: one is that he has been studying art with his master for a long time, and he has met many rich families. reaction.Secondly, Xu Chenming's family background is considered well-off. Although he was surprised by the changes in the Liu family before, it may be because of the great contrast.And their family may have a good family background, so they don't have much envy for such a family.

Regardless of the situation, Liu Ya felt that Xu Chenming's performance was good, at least he didn't show a little bit of flattery because the Liu family was showing off their new houses like the nouveau riche.

Liu Ya said to Xu Chenming: "It's here, there is still a little bit of masonry work to be done later, but the ground has been cleared, you can go in and have a look. Don't worry, the beams and shelves above are also safe , we went in and looked at it many times.”

Xu Chenming nodded and walked in.While walking, he asked: "The window lattice and door frame are not installed yet, are you planning to buy ready-made ones?"

Liu Ya knows that this is the work of carpentry, but carpentry can also be divided into rough work and fine work.Rough work is generally a rough job. You can do door frames and window frames, and you can also make doors and windows, but they are all of the ordinary plate type.If you want to make exquisite carved windows and hollow doors, you have to find a fine carpenter to do the work.

So Liu Ya asked: "I originally planned to buy it, but you are here, can you see if you can make it? If you can make it together, it can be matched with the furniture and have the same style."

"Style?" Xu Chenming felt a little fresh when he heard the word. He stopped and turned to ask Liu Ya, "What does the girl mean by style? That is to say, I contracted out all the carpentry work, including the furniture, doors and windows." Self-hand, can make the whole look consistent?"

Liu Ya nodded and said: "Yes, that's the reason. Think about it, if I go outside and buy doors and windows to install, the color and style will definitely be different from the furniture you make. But if you come alone If you do these jobs, you can have a unified overall effect, the color matching is consistent, and the materials and workmanship are also unified, so it looks much more comfortable."

"Okay, I'll do this job too." Xu Chenming nodded fiercely as if he had made up his mind.Then said: "My master has always said that fine work is different from rough work. We are craftsmen, not ordinary carpenters, so some rough jobs are not accepted. But I think that as long as it is a craft, it does not matter whether it is rough or fine. It’s all about doing well. Now the girl’s words woke me up. This work is indeed divided into rough work and fine work, but there must also be a unity. Girl, you said that the style should be unified, so that the whole looks comfortable. , it’s beautiful to match.”

When Xu Chenming said this, Liu Ya's impression of him changed even more.I originally thought that he was just a simple and dedicated little carpenter who pursued practical effects; now, it seems that his pursuit and knowledge are different from ordinary carpenters. He is neither a craftsman nor just a craftsman, but wants to The perfect combination of design and handwork.

Liu Ya also had to say that this Xu Chenming's mind is also good, at least he is not rigid in his thinking, if he is supported, he will definitely develop.

"Let's go, I'll take you in and have a look." Liu Ya let go of Liu Dacheng's wheelchair, bowed her head and said, "Father, I think his idea is pretty good. The house is better decorated. You wait outside, if you can’t wait to go back, it’s fine.”

Liu Dacheng nodded and said, "Go ahead, pay attention to safety. Don't worry about Dad, Dad is waiting for you outside."

Liu Ya nodded, walked over and took Xu Chenming into each room to have a look.Although it's just a house without a roof, not even a blank house, but in the eyes of a carpenter, he already knows where and what kind of furniture should be placed.

Xu Chenming walked and watched, and asked a few questions from time to time, such as who will live in this room in the future and if there are any special requirements.

After Liu Ya answered one by one, she would also ask to hear Xu Chenming's thoughts, to see if he had any unique insights.

At the beginning, Xu Chenming thought more and talked less.After almost all the five rooms were gone, I should have had a preliminary idea and talked more.Especially when she learned that Liu Ya would try her best to cooperate with his ideas, agree with his opinions, and let him play freely, she seemed even more happy.

Finally, Xu Chenming said to Liu Ya: "Miss Liu, I found that your ideas are really bold and practical, and you can respect my ideas, which is very rare. I really want to thank you for allowing me to do such a big job. One thing. After repairing your house, even if the master is not satisfied with my craftsmanship, I will be satisfied when I go home and farm."
