God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 31 The low-key local tyrant

Old man Xu was not surprised when he heard Xu Jingxing's words, but joked: "I can't see it, I'm not old, but my attitude is not low, but it's still fair, only 15.00% is charged, and some old guys say 20.00% Even 25."

Xu Jingxing sighed helplessly, what the hell is wrong with this world, why are these people so smart?Lao Yang is like this, Wang Haiyang is like this, even the little girl An Xin has a lot of eyes, what annoys him the most is that a little old man guarding the gate can tease him around, not only playing a game that tests human nature In the blink of an eye, he became a little local tyrant with a lot of money.

If it weren't for his determination, he would definitely be hit to doubt his life.

Of course, right now, making money must come first. If you have money to make, everything else can be ignored.

So Xu Jingxing said seriously: "Uncle Xu, my fee is indeed not high, but at the same time, my craftsmanship is not particularly exquisite, you'd better seek your son's opinion, I think he should consider a more experienced carpenter, you Isn't it guarding a furniture factory? Isn't there a carpenter with good craftsmanship in such a big factory?"

"Hehe, what I want is a woodcarver, not a carpenter. There are many carpenters, but there are not many woodcarvers who are skilled enough to make furniture and I can trust." Old man Xu smiled unhurriedly, revealing his love for him in his words. Xu Jingxing's appreciation and recognition.

Xu Jingxing frowned, feeling that something was wrong, and couldn't help but ask, "How do you know that I'm skilled enough to make furniture?"

"Why do you care so much? Tell me, do you want to do it or not?"

"Do it, it must be done," Xu Jingxing also went all out, old man Xu is not afraid, what is he afraid of, isn't it just making a set of furniture?It's not that I haven't done it.

Xu Jingxing did make furniture, but that was when he was a child. All the furniture in his house was made by him and his father, and it is still alive and well. After a set of furniture is made, even a nail is useless. Use the traditional mortise and tenon structure to fix, at most apply some carpentry glue in some places.

For this reason, he specially learned traditional carpentry skills from his father for a period of time, and he was much better than those theoretical schools in playing with various mortise and tenon structures.A few days ago, I saw a news on the Internet that a programmer in the island country made a moving picture of the mortise and tenon structure and uploaded it to the Internet, which caused a sensation at home and abroad.

Xu Jingxing had also seen those moving pictures at the time, and they were indeed very vivid, but those structures were not practical, most of them only existed in theory, and it was just fun to watch, and those moving pictures were only part of the mortise and tenon structure, which Xu Jingxing had mastered. There are several kinds of mortise and tenon structures that are very practical.

After mastering the mortise and tenon structure, there is no difficulty in making furniture. It is nothing more than a process that makes perfect, and it is completely incomparable with woodcarving.

Otherwise, why can a furniture maker only be called a carpenter?
Of course, some carpenters also know a little simple carving skills, just like chefs have to learn a little food carving, but they can only carve some simple patterns, which have no aesthetics at all, let alone artistic beauty. Out of shape is considered qualified.

But that kind of carpenter is increasingly unable to meet the needs of modern people, because modern people's requirements for furniture are not only purely practical appliances, but also ornamental and decorative. Furniture has even become a symbol and display of life quality.

This kind of person has such high requirements for furniture, and of course ordinary carpenters can't handle it.If you are willing to make a compromise, you can let the carpenter cooperate with the woodcarver to process it, just like what Xu Jingxing did in Xiaoqingshan, the carpenter processed the wood, and then he carved it, and finally the carpenter combined the components.

But making furniture like this seems a bit substandard. After all, the requirements for making furniture are much higher, and there are always some flaws in the cooperation of two people. Therefore, the best choice is to find a carpenter with artistic creation ability to do it.

It's just that there are too few carpenters of that kind, and even if there are, it's not something that ordinary people can hire - except for Xu Jingxing.

Xu Jingxing did not expect that the crafts he learned from his father when he was a child would blossom and bear fruit at this time and become a favorite.

The sweet pastry is the sweet pastry, as long as it can make money.

But just when he was about to bite the bullet and go on stage, old man Xu told him that the wood hadn't been delivered yet, and there was no way to start the work now, so he asked Xu Jingxing to design a set of drawings first, and then notify him to start the work when the wood arrived.

Fortunately fortunately.

Xu Jingxing called it a fluke in his heart, because it gave him some time to review the carpentry class. If he started in a hurry, he would definitely be a bit unfamiliar with it, but give him a few days to review the carpentry class he has learned, so he doesn't have to worry about it when he starts to start. Will be timid.

Based on his woodworking foundation, as long as it is not particularly complicated furniture, it will not be a problem.

After getting a general understanding of the style of furniture that old man Xu wanted, he pedaled a three-wheeler and carried a cart full of leftovers and the section of sandalwood back home. Old man Xu confiscated his money desperately, but he didn't force it.If it was a week ago, he would not have taken advantage of this little money anyway, but now that old man Xu has become his temporary employer, this little money doesn't matter.

Of course, he didn't have the nerve to take out the two packs of cigarettes he brought.

Originally, old man Xu had always been an ordinary security guard, so it was no problem to send two packs of ordinary cigarettes for a while; but old man Xu has transformed into a low-key local tyrant, and the broken cigarettes are a bit substandard.

Back home, he dug out the paper materials related to carpentry left by his father, including old books and hand-painted drawings, which was half a box full. A vanity box, plus a Luban lock.

At the beginning, he was a bit novice, but as he became more proficient, the effect he made was even better than his father's, especially the nanmu dressing box, which was small and exquisite, and the stitching was even more seamless, which was made with modern craftsmanship. The box is not bad at all.

The volleyball-sized dressing box was divided into four layers by him, and several small grids were drawn in each layer. The top layer was flip-top, and a square mirror was embedded inside, which was not only beautiful, but also quite practical.

The whole box does not use a single nail, and even glue is not used, all are spliced ​​with mortise and tenon.

After it was finished, he carved pictures and texts of the characters in the West Chamber on the surface of the box. He used the technique of bas-relief carving. The picture has a strong sense of elegance, and there is a bit of vivid beauty in the elegance. I believe no girl can refuse it. Frustrated by its temptation, An Xin, who was on the sidelines, began to salivate a long time ago, her eyes were as bright as seeing jewels.

After carving, polishing and waxing, I took a few photos and passed them to the old man Xu, "Master Xu, this is my handicraft, take a look, are you satisfied?"
