Pan Xiaoling said: "Didn't I say last time that your medical skills were good and the hospital wanted to hire you to be a doctor? Why don't you open a clinic or something?"
"I have never studied medicine, and I don't have a medical qualification certificate. I only do what I do in the countryside. I can make do with it in Xianjiqiao. I can treat colds, bruises and other injuries in the brigade, which is pretty much the same." Chang
Xing shook his head repeatedly.
"You just decided to do carpentry?" Pan Xiaoling asked.
Chang Xing nodded: "Carpentry is my specialty. My craftsmanship is quite good. If you want to make a dowry or something, I can help." Chang Xing said.
Pan Xiaoling first went to the countryside and then returned to the city to study at university. It was only a few days after she started working that she still had no partner. The people around her kept introducing them, but no one could catch Pan Xiaoling's eye. It can be said that she was too high-spirited.
It's too low.
Pan Xiaoling had a high degree of education and was pretty, so he would naturally look down on ordinary people, but people who could match her were not suitable in terms of age. Therefore, when Chang Xing talked about the dowry, Pan Xiaoling was somewhat right.
The sore spot.
Wu Wanyi quietly grabbed Chang Xing's waist: "Why did you say it so casually?"
When Chang Xing saw Pan Xiaoling's face darken, he knew that he had said the wrong thing.
Pan Xiaoling chuckled: "It's okay, Chang Xing didn't mean to laugh at me. Besides, among our group of young people, I'm not the only one in this situation. Wanyi, I actually envy you. What do you mean?
There was no delay at all, and now I can still make up for my studies at university, so it’s completely complete.”
"What is perfection? If it were perfection, could I, Chang Xing, and Qing'er be living on the streets? I really don't know what my mother was thinking!" Wu Wanyi said.
"Auntie may have been confused for a while. When she figures it out in the future, she will definitely regret what she did today," Pan Xiaoling said.
"You don't know, my mother is very stubborn. I'm worried that she has many tricks up her sleeve. Chang Xing, let me tell you, no matter what my mother does to you, you can never give up on me." Wu Wanyi said.
.
Chang Xing chuckled: "Are you kidding me, a farmer, how dare I give up on you, a college student? You will meet better people in college in the future, just don't dislike me and my son."
"Chang Xing, you are too bullying. Am I that kind of person?" Wu Wanyi said angrily.
Pan Xiaoling found a job for Chang Xing very quickly. The son of the office director of Wu Wanyi School was getting married soon. The furniture in the furniture store was very old and they didn't like it. They wanted to find a carpenter with good skills to make it themselves. But
The average carpenter can't even make furniture at the level of a furniture industry, let alone a better one.
As soon as Pan Xiaoling asked, she was interested. But she wanted to see how good Chang Xing's craftsmanship was. Pan Xiaoling did not dare to agree directly because she knew that Chang Xing was not an ordinary person, and capable people all have weird tempers, so she
I was afraid that Chang Xing would disagree, so I came back to ask first, and then planned to go back and reply.
"No problem, it's right to look at the craftsmanship first. I haven't become famous yet. But I believe that there is no problem with my own craftsmanship. Then let them take a look. Go tell them and ask them to prepare a few
I will make a bench for their family with a small piece of material. If the craftsmanship is good, I will take over their job. If the craftsmanship is not good, I will treat the bench as a gift to their family." Chang Xing
said.
The office director of Pan Xiaoling's school is named Cao Yajuan. Her son Deng Jingkai is preparing for his wedding, and the furniture matter is urgent. If it fails, their family will have to make do with furniture from the furniture store.
Cao Yajuan's husband is Deng Chengfu, an artist. He was punished badly during the movement. Now he has been rehabilitated and his job has been rearranged. In particular, his salary over the years has been repaid, and he suddenly has spare money in his hand.
Otherwise, there would be no way to prepare wedding furniture for Deng Jingkai.
When Chang Xing came, he had already put the carpenter's complete set of tools in the space magic weapon, and secretly took them out when no one was around. They were all put in a wooden box, which was not very eye-catching.
The next day, Chang Xing went to Deng's house carrying the toolbox.
"Master Chang, you were introduced by Pan Xiaoling, and we trust Pan Xiaoling. But my family is different from ordinary families. Both father and son are poor and particular. They don't like ordinary furniture. Otherwise, they will buy it directly from the furniture market.
, more convenient and trouble-free. Therefore, we have very strict requirements on workmanship and style. If you can do it, we will leave it to you without bothering the two masters. But if your craftsmanship is not up to par, I will say something ugly first.
Up front, we won't make this furniture. If it takes you one day's work, we will compensate you for one day's wages." Cao Yajuan was also a sensible person.
"Director Cao, don't worry, a bench can best reflect the craftsmanship of a carpenter. I'll make a bench, and you can see if my craftsmanship is good enough for you," Chang Xing said.
"No. No matter how well you make the bench, it only shows that you have solid basic skills. I have some design drawings here. If you can make the furniture exactly according to the design drawings, I will leave all my furniture to you. The style of my furniture
It's complicated, and the materials prepared are very precious. It takes a lot of time for you to make, so we won't treat you badly in terms of labor." Deng Chengfu took out a design drawing.
Chang Xing took a look at the design drawings and was attracted by the things in the drawings. The piece of furniture in the design drawings should look like a dressing table, but this dressing table is not simple. There are many wood carvings.
There were also many irregular shapes. Chang Xing took a quick look and knew that if the dressing table in the drawings were made, it would be absolutely stunning.
"How's it going? Can it be done?" Seeing Chang Xing's serious expression, Deng Chengfu thought Chang Xing couldn't do it.
"Where did the drawing of this dressing table come from? Is it an antique?" Chang Xing asked.
"Well, it's an antique, but I haven't seen the real thing. I've only seen some drawings. I'll add the complete one. Can you make it?" Deng Chengfu asked.
"There shouldn't be any problem. However, the wood carving is too complicated and requires a lot of effort." Chang Xing said.
"Wood carving? Do you know wood carving? Originally, I just asked you to make this style, and you can ignore the wood carving part." Deng Chengfu said.
"Understand something. I can carve this wood carving, but it will take time. If you make a lot of furniture in this style, I'm worried it will take a long time." Chang Xing said.
"Then can you make this one?" Deng Chengfu asked.
"No problem. If the wood is ready, I will start work now." Chang Xing said.
Deng Chengfu had prepared the wood a long time ago and was very particular about the material selection. Chang Xing was an expert. He could tell by looking at the wood grain and the scent of the wood that the wood was not simple.
Chang Xing selected the wood according to the drawings and began to make it.
Deng Chengfu was really worried when he saw Chang Xing starting to take action as soon as he came up. He didn't even move the ruler or draw ink, he just picked up the ax and started chopping the wood. The chopping made Deng Chengfu feel frightened. Although the wood was not
Some particularly expensive materials, but they are hard to come by now. Deng Cheng’s Mansion transferred them through some special channels. Taking advantage of his son’s wedding, Deng Cheng’s Mansion took the opportunity to reproduce some antiques that he had always wanted to restore. However,
It is now difficult to find carpenters with this kind of skills in Donghai.
"My wood is all high-quality wood that was used by dignitaries in the past. Don't waste my wood. I got it with great difficulty." Deng Chengfu said.
Chang Xing smiled and said: "Don't worry about that. If I wasn't sure, I wouldn't dare to touch your wood. In fact, I didn't even use the axe, I already saw clearly where the ax should be used.
I know how hard it is to split it as far as it will go. I have never seen this wood before, and I don’t know its name, but the wood grain and aroma are indeed very good. The furniture made will be durable and beautiful.”
"But you didn't use a ruler to measure, and you didn't draw an ink line. What's going on?" Deng Chengfu asked.
"Now that I already have a clear outline in my head, why should I draw ink lines?" Chang Xing said with a smile.
Chang Xing's movements are very fast, and every step is different from ordinary carpenters. But when he does each step, his movements are so graceful, which is simply pleasing to the eye. He is different from ordinary carpenters. Ordinary carpenters first
Draw the rules and regulations, and then make the furniture according to the rules. Naturally, the things you make cannot escape the rules. When Chang Xing makes it, he is unconstrained, just like an artist, drawing many strange lines directly on the white paper.
Then slowly connect the lines into a beautiful picture. Chang Xing did not limit the furniture he made into any box.
Deng Chengfu was just a little worried. Chang Xing was so casual. When the production was finished, would these parts be able to be assembled into a dressing table?
Cao Yajuan couldn't understand and pulled Deng Chengfu aside worriedly: "The carpenter introduced by Xiao Pan seems a little unreliable. I don't think he can make this dressing table. It's a pity that he ruined such good wood.
.Otherwise, forget it, let’s ask him to stop.”
"Wait a minute." Deng Chengfu said quickly.
"What? These woods are so precious to you, aren't you afraid that he will destroy them all?" Cao Yajuan said.
"You don't understand. It's like the difference between a painting master and an ordinary painter. Ordinary painters can only follow the steps when painting, but the master is always imaginative and creative. Look at the parts made by Master Chang. It seems that they are not as good as those made by ordinary carpenters.
It's neat, but does it look more natural? I believe that if these parts can really be combined, the finished dressing table will definitely not be bad." Deng Chengfu said.
"It's up to you. Anyway, he split the wood. It would be a waste if he doesn't continue to do it." Cao Yajuan said.
While the two of them were talking, Chang Xing had already prepared all the components. This speed was several times faster than that of an ordinary carpenter.
When Deng Chengfu came around, he had already begun to assemble the dressing table.
Deng Chengfu ran over quickly.
Chang Xing was very focused and put all his energy on the dressing table. The accessories were assembled piece by piece, and the position of each piece was decided by Chang Xing early in the morning. The assembly time was very short, only a few minutes, and a simple and simple picture was created.
The outline of the dressing table has already appeared.
"Professor Deng, you see, the rough blank has come out. If you think it is suitable, I can carve the wood out. But carving is not an easy task and it takes a lot of time. It will definitely not be completed today.
Chang Xing said.
Deng Chengfu touched the dressing table with his hands very excitedly. Although it had not been painted yet, the surface of the dressing table was very smooth. At this time, the wood grain was not covered in any way. It looked like the wood grain and color were indeed very beautiful.
"If you were asked to carve these patterns, would you be able to carve them?" Deng Chengfu asked.
Chang Xing took a look, pointed to the patterns on the dressing table where the mirror was installed, and said, "I just carved a few patterns here. Do you think there's anything wrong with it compared to the patterns on it?"
Deng Chengfu quickly went to get a magnifying glass and magnified the patterns carved by Chang Xing. The wood grains he saw were still very smooth and flat, with no burrs visible. As for ordinary furniture, you can see it with a magnifying glass.
When you come out, the surface is actually very rough.
"Your craftsmanship is really good. It seems that you are right to ask you to make this set of furniture this time. I also ask you to carve the patterns on it. Work slowly and carefully. It doesn't matter if you spend a little more time. There is still enough time. Really.
No, just do one or two less things when the time comes. Make the important furniture first, and leave the rest for later." Deng Chengfu said.
Cao Yajuan was very surprised: "Is it really possible?"
"That's great. The craftsmanship is no worse than those in the palace in the past. In ancient times, he was at the level of a royal carpenter." Deng Chengfu said.
Chang Xing said quickly: "You can't say that. I am not a royal carpenter, I am just an ordinary carpenter."
"Oh, look at what I said, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Your craftsmanship is really good. My furniture will be rid of you." Deng Chengfu said.
Chang Xing read the drawings of Deng Chengfu and began to carve. Likewise, unlike ordinary carvers, he first traced the drawings and then carved them according to the drawings. Chang Xing still carved casually. The carved wood residue was
Stacked on top, the carved patterns were completely blocked. Not only Deng Cheng's mansion could not see it, but even Chang Xing himself could not see it.
But this time, Deng Chengfu no longer doubted Chang Xing's craftsmanship, so he did not express any objection to what Chang Xing did. Instead, he looked forward to the carving results after blowing away the wood chips. He knew that Chang Xing could not
He will carve exactly according to his drawings, but the result will definitely not be inferior to the drawings, and may even be better than the drawings. Because the drawings were designed by Deng Chengfu based on the data, while Chang Xing may have designed them based on the wood grain.
The design will naturally fit the wood pattern better.
