Arriving at Carpenter Liu's house, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Carpenter Liu excitedly holding a one-foot-sized carpentry gadget and handing it to Zhang Yan.
"Second brother of the Zhang family, take a look, is there anything else that needs to be changed in this thing?"
"This is...a model?!" Zhang Yan looked at the miniature wheelchair in his hand and blurted out the reaction in his mind. He didn't expect that Carpenter Liu made a miniature model first. This was quite clever.
method. Small-sized models are more suitable for modification and adjustment. After all the problems are finally solved, it will save a lot of trouble to make normal-sized models after finalizing them.
"Model? No, this is a small piece. Hehe, we carpenters like to make a small piece first to try it out, and then make it into a normal size when there is no problem." Liu Carpenter did not put the "model" that Zhang Yan mentioned at all.
In my mind, while explaining, I introduced to Zhang Yan the differences between this small piece and the drawings given by Zhang Yan before.
Zhang Yan didn't understand carpentry skills. The pictures he drew were based on his previous experiences on earth, some basic mechanical knowledge, and his own thinking. At first glance, it looked like that, but
When you actually do it, you will find many problems, and there may even be structural defects.
Therefore, as Liu Carpenter explained, and started to take apart and put the small piece in front of Zhang Yan, Zhang Yan immediately felt "ashamed". Because although this small piece realized Zhang Yan's vision of the wheelchair,
The basic idea, but in fact many of the key things in it were done by Carpenter Liu. At least 30% of the internal structures of the drawings he gave others were problematic. Counting all the adjustments, this small piece of Carpenter Liu’s thoughts
At least fifty percent.
"Master Liu, your craftsmanship is really impressive!" Zhang Yan had to give a thumbs up to express his admiration. At the same time, he was also glad that he had no idea to do this thing by himself, otherwise he might not be able to do it in the years of the monkey.
"Hey, second brother of the Zhang family, what you said is right. I'm just here to eat. With the drawings you gave me, if I can't solve this problem, then don't do it. What do you think? Can this thing work?
?”
"Hahaha, Master Liu is so humble! This thing is much better than the finished product I imagined before, and there is absolutely no problem!" Zhang Yan knew that this small piece was already very good, and no faults could be found for the time being. It can be said to be a success.
.I will make some adjustments to some details after using it later.
"Okay! I'll try to make a finished product in the next few days!" Liu Carpenter was very happy to see that his achievements without sleeping in the past two days were recognized.
"Don't worry. By the way, I heard that Master Liu, you have a son who is also a carpenter?" Zhang Yan brought up the topic. Carpenter Liu is too honest. He needs to clarify some things, otherwise we still don't know.
What a big circle.
"Yes, the second brother of the Zhang family, my son is also a carpenter like me. Now he works as a helper in the shop over at the Chengdong Market. He has food and accommodation there. He only comes back when he has free time on weekdays."
Carpenter Liu chuckled. Although his son was not very promising, he was as honest and responsible as him, and his craftsmanship was not bad, so he was very worry-free.
Zhang Yan also heard from family members that Liu Carpenter's son was seventeen or eighteen years old, a strong laborer and good at craftsmanship.
"In this case, Master Liu, have you ever thought about calling your son back to start the wheelchair business with you? After all, we are a family and we can do things reliably. If the business really expands in the future, it will definitely not be enough for you alone."
"Ah? Is this, is this about to start?" Liu Carpenter was a little confused. Yesterday, Zhang Yan said there was no rush and today he would be asked to recruit his son to come back to help. This was a bit unexpected.
Zhang Yan smiled and said: "Master Liu, don't panic, I'm just saying it first. And this is also a suggestion. It depends on you whether you ask your son to come back to help. But I think I'll wait for you to take the first step."
After the wheelchair is made, we can start doing this."
"Yes! I understand the good intentions of the second brother of the Zhang family, and I will think about it carefully."
After Zhang Yan left, Carpenter Liu walked to the door and turned back. He opened the curtain in the main room and saw a woman half-lying on the hard bed in the back. It was his first wife who was sick.
"Cough cough cough..."
"Hey, don't hold it in all the time. It's been so long and it feels so uncomfortable. The second brother of the Zhang family is considerate and won't mind." Liu Carpenter quickly poured a glass of warm water and handed it to his wife, while also complaining about her.
Don't listen to yourself.
"Ahem..." After a while of violent coughing, the woman regained her composure and her face became a little pale. She gave Liu Carpenter a blank look, took a few sips of warm water and said, "I'm here to see you.
You're talking about things. Our house is already very sloppy and it's hard to see people around. What will happen if I'm still coughing around here? Just bear with it, it's not like I'm going to die. It's okay. Just take it slow.
Already."
"Let me soak the medicine for you. You don't look good."
"No, no need. Just save it. Drinking too much of that medicine will always make you dizzy and uncomfortable." After a pause, the lady asked again: "Do you think you can sell that kind of wheelchair?"
"Of course it can be sold! Let me tell you, with this wheelchair, people, whether injured or old, can go out. Not only can it be pushed by others, but people with strong arms can also turn the wheels and walk on their own.
.As long as you don’t go up steps or steep slopes, you can reach ordinary places.
I think there will be no shortage of sales for this thing just in our Langyuan City."
Although Liu Carpenter's vision is not broad, he can still figure out whether the things he makes are useful. For some special groups of people, wheelchairs are an absolute good thing.
"So, does this business have a leader?"
"This... I don't know how to do business, so I can't say whether I will get it started." Liu Carpenter clicked his lips and shook his head.
But the woman had a plan, thought about it, and said: "I think if the second brother of the Zhang family really doesn't let you contribute money and only lets you contribute your efforts, you can really follow him. If the business is good, then call your son
It’s good to be back.”
"What if the business doesn't do well? I have nothing to do, but my son has finally worked as a helper and will become a master in a few years. If he leaves halfway and the business here doesn't do well, wouldn't it be a big loss?
"
"Hmph, didn't the second brother of the Zhang family say "take your time"? You can first see if the business is good or not. And I think the second brother of the Zhang family has the ability, otherwise he would be able to be brothers with the dignified city guard? People like this
I came to you this time because I thought you had helped the old and weak in their family before, so I want to help you!"
Carpenter Liu didn't like to think about these far-reaching things and was a little irritated. But he also knew that what his mother-in-law said was right. So he nodded and said: "Then I will work harder and try to make something in these two days.
Let’s see what the second brother of the Zhang family says later.”
"Well, just do it at home. Don't let the news slip, so you don't end up in a bad situation."
