Chapter 188 Drawings
I went to the city and spent two hundred taels of silver to get two house deeds.
Ms. Song held the two house deeds and couldn't understand them, but that didn't stop her from holding them up as carefully as if she were holding a golden egg. Her eyes were red with excitement.
Li Jihe teased her not to shed tears, because if the house deed was wet, the money would be wasted.
This scared her so much that she quickly locked the house deeds in a box and hid them. She turned around and said to Li Jihe in a tearful voice: "Your daughter is filial to you. These two house deeds have been lost." It’s your name!”
Li Jihe was also happy in his heart. At this moment, he was trying not to let his eyes turn red, but he said, "Are you sour? Wait until I save enough money tomorrow to buy you a gold headdress!"
Mrs. Song scolded him, "How can there be a shop and shop for Jintou Noodles?" "Zhaizixiang?"
Li Jihe laughed, "Isn't mine still yours? My name is the same as yours! Don't you keep the property deed? I'll tell Shiliu later, If I buy another shop, it will be in your name!”
Mrs. Song patted him lightly and said, "You are so beautiful, I thought! If I buy a shop, it will also belong to the children! You are just patronizing beauty, so you need to take care of yourself as soon as possible. Didn't Pomegranate say that the shop will open a shop?" What toy store? You need to pay more attention to carpentry. , you don’t know how to do anything else, don’t worry about it, my daughter.”
Li Jihe nodded, “Don’t worry! I know my health, nothing will happen. It’s not that you’re worried and won’t let me work?”
Otherwise he would have gone back to the carpentry workshop!
Ms. Song was worried after all, so she invited Dr. Hong to take a closer look at it. Then she relaxed and asked him to go back to the carpentry workshop.
In the carpentry workshop, Shiliu was admiring the masterpiece that Song Dongsheng had completed in the past few days.
The slide is made of pine wood. It is polished smooth and delicate, and the tentacles will not irritate the hand at all. It is also extremely delicate and completely restored to the drawings. Song Dongsheng also put a lot of thought into it. , carved fine patterns into the handrails of this staircase, which looks beautiful.
Song Dongsheng was still afraid of the pomegranate monster, so he carved the tweed without permission, but Pomegranate only let him carve the word "Li" at the junction of the stairs and the slide.
When Li Jihe came over, everyone was pointing at those two words.
"Is this the character Li? Pomegranate can read!"
Li Rongzong said proudly: "I can also recognize the character Li! I also recognize my name!" It was Brother Zhang who came back to teach me!”
The boys felt itchy after hearing this. Li Rongzong is already literate, but they are still fighting about not knowing!
It is too late to go to school now. They also have younger brothers and nephews at home. Should they also be sent to school and come back after they are literate so that they can be taught how to recognize a few words? I can't even recognize my own name, it's so embarrassing.
Many people are thinking this in their minds, thinking about discussing this matter with their family members when they return home. Nowadays, every family in the family is working in a workshop, and some earn as little as 900 yuan a month, and some earn nearly two dan!
In the past, I thought it was too difficult for an individual to study, but now it seems to be okay?
It doesn’t matter what you want to study, but you can always read a few books to avoid blindness. You can go to school alone and teach your family when you come back. Once you know this word, it is your own, and you can also teach your children and grandchildren. It will be passed on to future generations, and the money was well spent.
Li Jihe looked at the slide and nodded secretly, and asked Shiliu: "This is called a slide? How is this fun?"
Shiliu smiled and immediately went to take it. Erni, who was busy lighting a fire in the food workshop far away, called over and let her play.
Erni looked at Pomegranate timidly: "Sister Pomegranate, how do you play here?" Pomegranate taught her to climb up from the stairs, and then sit down and slide down the slide——
Erni followed suit and was startled when she slid down, but nothing happened and she thought it was so much fun!
Pomegranate saw her eyes sparkling, so she smiled and said, "Let's play for a while!"
Erni was very excited after hearing this, and climbed up and down carefully, playing. After three visits, I smiled so hard that my eyebrows were bent, and I was sensible after all. Although I still wanted to play, I waved my hand and thanked the pomegranate, and ran back to work to watch.
Pomegranate looked at it, smiled, turned around and said to Song Dongsheng: "Just do it! But let's put a layer of tung oil on it." It looked smoother and waterproof.
Then he went back to the house and took the drawings and gave them to Li Jihe, asking him to look at the arrangements and allocate some manpower to do the above things.
Now there are seven or eight apprentices who can make wooden boxes. Allocating a few more people will not affect the production of wooden boxes. Besides, Liu Dong’s family has signed several carpenters, and she is not missing. The wooden boxes provided here, the reason why this wooden box business is still stable, is because she has prepared money for these apprentices.
Li Jihe looked at the drawing, and the more he looked at it, the more curious he became. Then his daughter told him in detail about the rocking horse and the baby walker——
These strange things , my daughter came up with it.
He looked up at his daughter and saw an expression on her face that said, "Dad, you know it." He was stunned and realized immediately, well, this is all a way to make money given by the God of Wealth!
He has to take good care of it and do it well. Don’t be a slut to the God of Wealth!
Li Jihe is also very motivated at the moment. This carpentry workshop is the basis for his income. He cannot let his daughter underestimate him!
He transferred Song Dongsheng, Song Fusheng and Li Jide, Li Jiping and Li Jiming, who were responsible for making wooden boxes, and then Uncle Song, who was responsible for carving, and Uncle Song, who was in charge of carving, gathered together six people in total to be responsible for these toys. of making.
Brothers Song Dongsheng and Song Fusheng specialize in making slides. There are three types of slides, one is the simple one they just made, and the other is a medium-sized one with hair on it and a small swing. There is a large one that looks like a house on top and a house on the bottom for children to crawl through—
Li Jide was responsible for making the rocking horse, Li Jiping was responsible for making the seesaw, and Li Jiming was responsible for making the puzzle blocks.
As for Song Erjiu, he made a small Ferris wheel. This Ferris wheel only turned half a circle, and a small chair was installed on it. The children sat on it, and the adults shook it by hand, and the Ferris wheel would rotate. .
Uncle Song makes the most elaborate ones, such as play-house toys, a complete set of scaled-down and then scaled-down furniture, and a complete set of kitchen utensils and other items——
These It takes time to make. For example, the small slide took Song Dongsheng several days to make, especially the medium and large ones.
So Pomegranate is not in a hurry and just lets them do it slowly. Before the shop is decorated, they can at least make one or two sets.
However, she envisioned what would happen after the shop opened, and thought it was better to be prepared, so she asked Uncle Song to take a message back to Old Man Song, asking him to help find some reliable carpenters.
Li Jihe has several senior brothers, and Old Man Song naturally also has them. These senior brothers all learned from his father back then. Even though they are now older and do not move around often, they still visit every New Year. They sent their children and grandchildren to come and pay New Year greetings to their senior brother, Old Man Song, on their behalf, and also to pay homage to Old Man Song on his grave.
Pomegranate didn’t know whether these people were trustworthy, but Old Man Song took action, so he naturally knew it.
