Xu Erlong arranged it, and she was naturally very satisfied.
Xu Erlong made some arrangements and told Wen Ye.
For example, let Wen Laowu stay in the capital to take care of her.
Another example is to ask Xu Chunsheng to make some simple furniture here and then sell it.
"This is a good idea." Wen Ye agreed seriously: "My dad can also help us sell furniture together."
Several people were sitting in the main room, turning on the lights, discussing how to make this furniture.
In Xu Chunsheng's mind, it was still the old-fashioned furniture he had seen, such as writing desks, Eight Immortals tables, chests of drawers, and two-door wardrobes.
Furniture made of solid wood is so stable and practical, and feels good when moving.
On the other hand, this piece of furniture made of polycarbonate boards looks shiny, but it is light and airy when moved. Is this thing really good?
Xu Erlong compared the drawings and told him how to make a simple folding table.
All you need to do is measure the size, cut the polycarbonate board to the required size, wrap it around the top, and install a foldable x-shaped table leg underneath.
As for the kind of desk shelf that can increase the desktop space, it is even simpler. Cut the remaining scraps into 20 cm wide wooden boards and press the concave and convex wedges to form the shelf.
This method is simpler and uses all the remaining materials.
He even took a pen and notebook and showed Xu Chunsheng the drawing on the spot.
At this time, Xu Chunsheng finally understood what this was like.
Unexpectedly, Xu Erlong could actually come up with this thing.
Xu Erlong rubbed his head in embarrassment. He didn't think of this at all. He just had seen too much and was just telling these things now.
Wen Ye helped make suggestions and rationally planned how to cut the boards according to the length and width of the boards.
After a while of comparing and calculating, a piece of polygon board was finally the best to use.
Calculated, it is just one board that can be cut into two large folding tables.
The remaining materials can be combined into three simple table shelves.
A table costs 20 yuan, and a simple storage rack costs 10 yuan. This price is the general price Xu Erlong got from wandering outside these days.
After all, a large double-door wardrobe only sells for 80 yuan on the market, which is already considered a high price. Many old furniture do not exceed this price.
If it is sold, it is equivalent to making half the price of a piece of wood.
Xu Chunsheng became a little excited after being analyzed by Xu Erlong.
Does this mean that he only needs to make such a piece of Polywood furniture and as long as it can be sold, his income will be almost the same as that of a worker?
Xu Erlong nodded. Indeed, these days, it is normal for a businessman to earn as much as a worker in a month.
Otherwise, if the crime of speculation is so serious, why would anyone still take the risk of speculating? It’s because the profits involved are too considerable.
In particular, the vast territory and inconvenient transportation provide huge profit margins for such business.
Those big guys can spend millions on whatever they want. For example, Mr. Wang who cooks braised pork.
At night, Xu Erlong and Wen Ye slept on the kang in the house.
Wen Ye was curious about this kang.
After all, in their hometown, they all sleep on beds. Even if the family is poor and cannot make a bed out of wood, they still have to make a bed out of wooden planks.
But the private houses here are actually sleeping on the kang, which made Xu Erlong and Wen Ye realize that it is not a lie for their wives and children to sleep on the kang.
That night, Xu Erlong and Wen Ye were separated for a little while, and they experienced the feeling of a hot kang.
This kang is so strong, much stronger than the bed in my hometown.
The bed at home was also worried that it would creak and affect Zhang Jinfang and Xu Xiaoling.
But this kang will never creak.
Xu Erlong took Wen Ye with him and gained some knowledge.
So much so that the next day, Xu Erlong didn't want to get up.
But Xu Chunsheng had already taken a saw and started sawing wooden boards in the small yard outside early in the morning.
Xu Erlong was so noisy that he could no longer sleep in.
He leaned up, opened the window a crack, and looked out.
I saw Xu Chunsheng wearing a shabby clothes, holding a saw there, sawing wood boards one after another.
In the 1980s, industry was backward and many things were still done by old-fashioned manual operations.
For example, in the carpentry profession that Xu Chunsheng is engaged in, he still uses saws from thousands of years ago to modify wood.
Before the 1980s, there was a profession called "jijiang" or "sawsmith", which was a craftsman who sawed and unwound boards.
To make furniture, you have to change the wood into large boards, so naturally you have to find a craftsman.
The two of them took a big saw and pulled it back and forth. It took a lot of effort from the boss to change the wood into a large board.
Then, the carpenter takes a smaller saw and changes the big board into various boards or column legs that he needs.
In order to make it smooth and flat, you have to plane it slowly, one plane at a time.
Therefore, these backward tools make furniture very expensive.
After all, it took so much effort, effort, and time to create such a product.
There are always some people who are used to comparing current prices to some prices at that time. There is no comparability at all.
For example, now, with just one stroke of the electric saw, a board will come off in less than a minute.
In the past, two workmen had to stand on both sides of the wood, sawing and pulling back and forth. If their arm strength was weak, they could not pull it. Outsiders could not find the correct position, and even if it was pulled crookedly, it would not work.
If you work like this for a day, you can only change one or two pieces of wood.
This backward industry is destined to have low production capacity and high prices for many products.
Xu Erlong looked at it and sighed.
That does not work.
It takes a lot of effort to operate even a simple table like this.
Xu Erlong stood up, and Wen Ye brought hot water over and asked him to wash his face.
Looking at Wen Ye's moist and radiant little face, Xu Erlong was in a good mood and took advantage of washing his face to kiss her again.
After finishing washing, Xu Erlong was no longer at home to have breakfast. He took Wen Ye out.
He had to get Xu Chunsheng something handy.
Improving efficiency is a top priority.
After sending Wen Ye back to school first, Xu Erlong started looking for a chainsaw or a chain saw.
Only with such a thing can Xu Chunsheng's work efficiency be improved.
Xu Erlong ran around the streets and alleys, asked countless people, and finally bought a chainsaw in a hardware and electrical appliance store.
When Xu Erlong took the chainsaw back to show it to Xu Chunsheng, Wen Laowu couldn't figure out what it was and tried to get his hands on it.
"Don't move." Xu Erlong shouted sternly.
This stern voice shocked Wen Laowu. This good son-in-law actually spoke in such a fierce tone.
