Qin Xingchang sighed.
"As expected of the rich. These things were relatively simple. It wasn't that complicated. It wasn't difficult. However, this shelf was ten meters tall. Wasn't that a little too high?”
"In addition, how much money is there? What kind of wood was used? Did you provide wood? If he didn't say anything and let us decide for ourselves, we would have to say it.
Of course, he could be completely assured of the quality. None of the furniture we make is bad. I won't ruin my own craftsmanship."
Qin Yi smiled."
"Naturally, I believe in the weight of your words. That's why I introduced this job to our village and let your family do it.
We'll do as you say. I won't tell you the price. Just do as you see fit. I won't rush you. Just let me know when you're done. What do you think?”
In this day and age, if the quality of the things they made was not good, once word got out, the reputation that they had accumulated over the years would be lost in an instant.
Therefore, no matter who it was, as long as it was a craftsman passed down, they would also cherish their family's reputation. The things he made were of excellent quality.
"Alright, kid, you're a straightforward person. Don't worry, this is a job you're doing for others. I'll definitely help you do it well and not let outsiders find fault with it. Let's go inside and have some tea." Qin Xingchang slapped his thigh and said with a smile.
"No, no, I've already drunk a stomach full of water at home. We can talk here." Qin Yi declined politely.
Seeing this, Qin Xingchang smiled and said nothing more. Then, he shouted inside and followed his three sons out.
Now, they had not split up and were living together.
This was because he had relied on his skills to make a living. Qin Xingchang had some family background and built his original land and house relatively large. Therefore, each person could live in one room.
However, the following years were not good, and they encountered many things, so the family was not separated. He didn't have the spare money to build a house.
Next, Qin Xingchang handed a few pieces of paper to his three sons and said to them,
"The Qin family's kid took into account the kindness of our village and took on a job for us. Take a look at the furniture on these three pieces of paper. If there's anything you don't understand, ask the Qin family's kid clearly and then take this job. I don't want to delay other people's matters."
Qin Yongxing and his brothers quickly took the papers and looked at them.
Wooden shelves, beds, tables, and chairs were not difficult to make, but it was their first time making the cabinet. It was rather complicated, so he asked.
After asking about the structure and style of the other furniture, the eldest son, Qin Yongxing, said,
"Yi. I won't say anything more to thank you. I'll remember it in my heart. There was no problem with this job. Don't worry, I'll make sure it's done beautifully.”
Qin Yi smiled."
"That's good. However, do you think about how much these things will cost? I'll go get the money from them tomorrow. I'll give you a deposit first. When it's done and they receive it, they'll give you the other half of the deposit. Do you think this is okay?"
"It can be like this? Isn't it supposed to be done before you pay?" Qin Yongxing was puzzled.
In the past, he had always paid for it. They had never tried this method before.
"Let's do as Qin brat says.”Old Master Qin made the decision.
"Alright, wait a moment." Hearing his father speak, Qin Yongxing did not waste any more words.
The three brothers entered the house.
First Master Qin continued chatting with Qin Yi.
They had some of these logs stored in their house. They were all good wood. However, some wood still had to be found in the mountains and processed after being found.
In other words, it would take at least half a month to finish the furniture. This was the fastest.
If it was slow, it might even take a month. After all, the wood used to make furniture had to be handled well. Otherwise, it would easily be deformed later.
However, those shelves could be made very quickly with the existing wood. They could be done in three days when they came back after work.
Qin Yi was very happy about this. Wooden shelves were what he needed the most at the moment.
Ten minutes later, the three brothers walked out.
Qin Yongxing handed a piece of paper to his father.
Qin Xingchang took a look and felt that there was no problem, so he nodded.
"It's not difficult to make these furniture, but you need to prepare them. He also needed good materials. It would probably take a longer time. Take a look."
Qin Yongxing wrote down the calculated price in detail.
Finally, he gave a total price of 268 yuan.
"So cheap? Six or seven sets of furniture." Qin Yi was a little surprised. "This is the cost price, right? No more money?"
"Yes, yes." Qin Yongxing shook his head. You can earn more than ten yuan."
When he said this, he even glanced at Qin Yi, afraid that Qin Yi would think that he had earned too much.
However, when Qin Yi heard this, he smiled bitterly.
In this day and age, some people were indeed simple and honest.
"Uncle Yongxing. You earn so little money, and your labor costs aren't even enough. Don't worry, the family in town doesn't lack money. How much would other carpenters charge for your furniture in town? I won't do it without 400 yuan."
"What? 400？Isn't this too dark?" Qin Yongsheng exclaimed.
"What are you shouting for?"
Old Master Qin glared at his second son and slowly took a puff of his cigarette. The thick smoke dispersed along with the wind in the alley, dispersing the swarm of mosquitoes above their heads.
Then, he continued,"Everyone has their own methods. Brat Qin, let's go with this price. It's not like we don't earn money."
When Qin Yi heard this, he didn't say anything else and did as Qin Xingchang said.
He was prepared to use some supplies to compensate them after he finished making the furniture.
He was still very willing to help these villagers. Some of the villagers were ungrateful, the kind who spoke ill of others behind their backs. He could not be bothered with them.
Moreover, from the original owner's memory, when his parents passed away, many people came to help. She even managed to scrape together some money to buy a coffin for the couple.
This was one of the reasons why Qin Yi was willing to help the villagers.
Good people deserved to be helped.
"Alright, we'll do as you say. However, if you're done with the furniture, you can leave it in my yard when I'm not home. As for the money, I've taken a 100 yuan deposit from the other party. After it's done, we'll settle the balance."
"Okay. There was still some wood here. I'll get Yongxing to help you make it first."
Qin Xingchang didn't refuse and put the money into his pocket.
It was a big family, and the money was still managed by the old man.
This was also the limitation of not splitting up.
Only a man of one word could maintain this family. Otherwise, the money would not be easy to split. The three brothers didn't care, but the three sisters-in-law would always feel unbalanced.
Resentment and quarrels always accumulated from small matters. Once they erupted, the relationship would really be bad.
However, Qin Xingchang's degree of control was very good. He distributed according to work like the village did. The compensation was balanced, and the family was harmonious.
"Alright, I'll do it. Then I'll go back first." Qin Yi said with a smile.
"Take this thing with you…"
"Sir, I didn't buy this. The buyer bought it. It would be a waste not to want it. I'll be leaving first." Qin Yi smiled.
Hearing this, Qin Xingchang also smiled.""Alright, I'll do it. That's very thoughtful of you."
After Qin Yi left, Qin Xingchang sighed with emotion.
"Unfortunately, Qin Huanghe and his wife left early. No luck. Otherwise, he would be happy to see that Qin brat was so motivated.”
"It seems to be a little different.”Qin Yongxing added.
"Alright, let's prepare the materials first. Don't waste time." Qin Xingchang instructed. He carried the bag with his hands behind his back and walked in leisurely.
After leaving Qin Xingchang's house, the sky gradually darkened.
There was no electricity in the village, and he did not want to wander around outside.
