After drinking and eating, I said goodbye to Fourth Master at the door and sent Brother Qiu back to the warehouse.

"Okay, in the afternoon, you should do your own thing first. If you don't have anything, you have to buy everything. Remember to buy a whole set of clothes. You can buy them yourself. If you don't have enough money, tell me."

"The money is running low, I will definitely tell you. As you can see, I still have a lot left. I plan to get a bed and a set of clothes first, and I will slowly add to the rest."

"Okay, you just have to know what you think. You go two alleys ahead and find Carpenter Lu and give me my name! There is still rosewood left in the warehouse. It should be enough to make a set of furniture. I want him to come and take a look. That's it. , go and come back early."

"well!"

After walking through two alleys, the refugees huddled together on the side of the road. Their clothes were in tatters. They stared at the passers-by with numb eyes. From time to time, they asked for something to eat. Some of them were motionless. If their eyes were not moving, they might be with them. There is no difference between the dead people. And beside them from time to time are people wearing Chinese gowns with mainly gray and blue elements. What's more, they have noses covering their eyes and slight beards at the corners of their mouths. They look noble and elegant. You can tell at a glance that he is a high-level intellectual. Sitting there In the rickshaw, the driver is running very fast, and you can also see trendy people with slicked back hair and small suits, all of which remind me that poverty and wealth are the transition between old and new.

Along the way, I asked for directions and came to a courtyard, where several women were sitting in the concierge chatting.

"May I ask, does Carpenter Lu live here?"

"Are you looking for work from Carpenter Lu?"

"Yes, may I ask, is Carpenter Lu at home?"

"At home, his house is in the side room on the left side of the central courtyard." "Hey, Mrs. Lu, someone is looking for you to be the head of the house again."

"Come here, come here, thank you, thank you very much."

"Oh, hello, sir, please ask my boss. He is in the house now. I am not bragging to you. You can ask around. My boss's skills are nothing to say in this area. Didn't he just help others yesterday? We've just finished the furniture, what do you want to pack?"

"I just rented a house, but there is nothing in it. I need to buy a set of furniture."

When Mrs. Lu heard this, she lost her smile and said, "You have found the right person. My master is famous for his craftsmanship."

While talking, he came to the side room and pushed the door in. "Master, master, master, come out quickly, we have a visitor." "Sit down first. We only have some coarse tea. Don't mind it. I'll call the master now."

While we were talking, a middle-aged man with Chinese characters and a very serious face came out. When he saw me, he burst into smiles. It is not easy for such a serious face to smile so much.

"Master, you are looking for me to work, right? I wonder what you want to do, and do you want to bring any materials with you?"

"Carpenter Lu, Mr. Qiu from the alley in front introduced us to you. As for me, I rented a house, but the landlord has sold the furniture. I want to build a new set. Please give me a price."

"Is this Mr. Qiu from the warehouse in front of Hutongcang?"

"Well, it's Mr. Qiu from the warehouse in front of Hutongcang."

"Then I don't know whether you will bring materials or not."

"There are some leftover rosewood in the warehouse. Come with me later to see if a set of furniture is enough."

"Okay, look, I'll just charge you 20 silver dollars. Do you think that's okay?"

"20 silver dollars, how long will it take you to make it."

"My son and I can make a set of furniture in less than a month."

"Okay, come with me, go to my rented house and see if the wood is enough."

"Okay, wait while I get the food."

I took Carpenter Lu to Mr. Zhao's room, and then to the warehouse to see the size of the wood.

"Master, you pay 5 silver dollars first, and I will start working on it immediately."

"Don't worry, you've also seen the room. How about you make a bed first so that I can deal with it?"

"If you don't mind, I'll give you my son's first. The bed is ready and I'll change it back. What do you think?"

"Okay, you move first and I'll give you the deposit once you get there."

"Man, let's open it up. I'm going to move it now."

"Go, go. It's a bit late today. I'll tell Brother Qiu first and you can move the wood away tomorrow. We'll meet at Fourth Master Zhao's place."

"Okay, you stay here, I'll leave first. I'll see you there, Mr. Zhao."

After cupping his hands, Carpenter Lu hurried back and disappeared around the corner of the street. I turned around and entered the house, where I saw Brother Qiu looking at the account book.

"Brother Qiu, I have made an agreement with Carpenter Nalu. He will move his son's bed to my place first. I will buy a set of furniture for 20 silver dollars in one month. In addition, I don't know how much rosewood is left in the warehouse."

money."

"Money, what's the value of the remaining things? Last year, my boss hired a concubine to build a set of furniture, and all the wood was used. It was full of materials. There is no rosewood in this account. Do you understand?"

"I understand. The rosewood on the tent was used up last year."

"As long as you know, go ahead!"

"Then I'll leave first."

When I arrived at Mr. Zhao's house, I had just exchanged a few words with Mr. Zhao when I saw Carpenter Lu on the corner with a few young men, humming and humming, carrying a carved double bed to the front.

"Master, do you think it's okay?"

"That's right, that's right. What you made for me can't be worse than this." Carpenter Lu made this for his son. The wood is not a good material, but the craftsmanship looks really good.

"Look what you said, your salary is enough, we will definitely work hard."

"Okay, let's move in"

Carpenter Lu and a few young men carried it in hummingly and put it away. I took out 5 silver coins and gave it to Carpenter Lu.

"Sir, I will keep the deposit today. I will deliver the furniture you want in one month."

"Okay, remember to come to the warehouse to pick up the lumber tomorrow."

"Okay, see you later. Stay, stay."

I walked to the door, and Carpenter Lu led a few boys away. Seeing that he didn't look like he had just finished his work yesterday, he must have been free for a long time.

"Fourth Master, please excuse me."

"Anyway, we are called taking care of each other. I have a shelf over there for you to put your clothes on."

"You're welcome. I'll go back now, get my things, and we'll have two cups a night."

"Then it feels good. I'll wait and the shelf will be placed at your door."

"Okay, see you later."

"See you."

When I walked to the street, I saw a tailor shop and walked in. The clerk hurriedly greeted me.

"Sir, do you want to make a custom-made garment or buy ready-made clothes?"

"Hey, the clothing store can also make custom-made clothes."

"Master, you are joking, but we can indeed customize this."

"Then, let's make a suit for foreigners to wear."

"Master, you are just teasing us. How could we do this?"

"I'm not interested in teasing you, so I'll give you a robe."

The ready-made clothes of the Republic of China were not like today's ready-made clothes. Although they did not fit perfectly, they were not baggy. The ready-made clothes of the Republic of China always looked fat because they were adapted to most people and the number of sizes was reduced. A smaller size would be tighter, and a larger size would make it look bulkier.

I was so fat and baggy that I finally ordered two large sizes and bought two pairs of shoes at the shoe store next door for a total of 5 silver dollars. I still had 20 silver dollars left in my hand. I can only say that the prices are not high and I earn a lot.

The warehouse and Fourth Master Zhao can solve the problem of food and accommodation, and there will be enough support until next month.
