Early the next morning, Zhou Ziwen woke up from his sleep.
After waking up, he opened the idle panel and took a look.
[Woodworking LV10](7/1000)
In the panel, the carpentry skill has reached level ten.
After this skill reached level ten, Zhou Ziwen felt that his understanding and mastery of carpentry had reached a whole new level.
He can use various woods to create extremely exquisite furniture and crafts, whether it is complex carvings or delicate mortise and tenon structures, he can easily complete them.
It just so happened that he had nothing to do at home during this period, so he planned to replace all the furniture in his house.
Especially the tables and chairs at home, which have been worn out for too long.
Just when he was making a crib last time, he bought a set of carpentry tools, which made it easier to make furniture.
But he doesn’t have wood in hand and needs to find some.
It’s different from when you were in the countryside. If you want wood in the countryside, you can just go to the mountains to cut it. You can use whichever tree you want. As long as it’s from home, the production team won’t say anything.
But it is different in the city. You need to spend money to buy wood in the city.
But this little money is nothing to Zhou Ziwen.
After breakfast, Zhou Ziwen said hello to his family and then went out to buy wood.
In the city, if you want to buy wood, you can go to the lumber mill, but the lumber at the lumber mill also needs to be purchased with a ticket.
Zhou Ziwen didn't have any wood tickets in his hand, so he had to go to the waste recycling station to buy them.
The waste recycling station has everything, including some used furniture.
Zhou Ziwen plans to get some scrap furniture back, then dismantle it and transform it into the wood he needs.
He came to the waste recycling station, which was filled with all kinds of debris and exuded an old smell.
He searched carefully in the recycling bin and finally found some scrap furniture that seemed to be still usable.
He picked out a few shabby tables and chairs. Although they had some surface wear, the main structure was still intact.
After Zhou Ziwen negotiated the price with the staff at the recycling station, he paid the money and began to move the used furniture home.
Along the way, he attracted the attention of many passers-by, and everyone was curious about him moving these old furniture.
After returning home, Zhou Ziwen immediately began to dismantle these scrap furniture.
He skillfully used tools to dismantle tables and chairs and pick out useful wood.
During the dismantling process, Zhou Ziwen found that some of the wood was of good quality, but some parts were damaged due to long use.
He decided to keep the good wood and use it to make new furniture.
Next, Zhou Ziwen began to process the wood according to his own design.
He used a saw to cut the wood to the right size, a plane to smooth the surface, and then used a chisel and hammer to create the mortise and tenon structure.
Seeing Zhou Ziwen busy alone in the yard, the neighbors were curious and came around to ask.
"Ziwen, what are you doing?" neighbor Uncle Li asked curiously.
Zhou Ziwen smiled and replied: "Uncle Li, I plan to use the wood of these scrap furniture to make new furniture. The tables and chairs at home are all old and it is time to replace them."
"Hey, you can also make furniture? You're so talented!" neighbor Aunt Zhang praised.
"Yes, Ziwen's craftsmanship is no worse than that of carpenters outside." Another neighbor also nodded.
Looking at Zhou Ziwen's skillful movements, they were all surprised.
I remember that in the past, Zhou Ziwen would not do this.
Zhou Ziwen was busy chatting with his neighbors.
"Haha, I learned this skill in the countryside, so I just make do with it." Zhou Ziwen said modestly. "Ziwen, you are so humble. Your skills are better than those of professional carpenters." Uncle Li said with a thumbs up.
"That's right. If my family needs carpentry for anything in the future, I will have to ask you for help." Aunt Zhang said with a smile.
Zhou Ziwen readily agreed: "No problem, Uncle Li, Aunt Zhang, neighbors, I will help anyone who can."
It was really hard for Zhou Ziwen to refuse this matter, and he didn't Necessary rejection.
In this era, human touch is very strong, and distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. This is their situation.
While chatting, everyone watched Zhou Ziwen busy. After a while, Zhou Ziwen had almost finished processing the wood.
"Ziwen, you are so fast. At your pace, the new furniture will be ready soon, right?" asked a neighbor.
Zhou Ziwen wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Well, it will take a few more days to finish the furniture."
The neighbors nodded one after another and praised Zhou Ziwen's ability.
In the next few days, Zhou Ziwen continued to focus on making furniture. He carefully carves every detail and strives to make the furniture both beautiful and functional.
Finally, the new furniture is all finished. Zhou Ziwen placed them at home, which immediately gave the home a completely new look.
Mother Zhou and her sisters were very happy when they saw the new furniture.
"Ziwen, your furniture is so well made, it's almost like new." Zhou's mother said with satisfaction.
"Brother, you are so awesome. These furniture are much better than what we had before." Second sister Zhou Yaqin also praised.
Zhou Ziwen smiled and said: "As long as you like it, I will do it if you need it in the future."
"That's enough, that's enough, why do so much!" ”
Mother Zhou feels sorry for her son and doesn’t want her son to be too tired.
Father Zhou couldn't help feeling a little emotional when he saw his son's busy figure.
He knew that Zhou Ziwen must have suffered a lot during his time in the countryside, otherwise he wouldn't be so skilled.
Dad Zhou walked up to Zhou Ziwen, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Ziwen, you have grown up and become sensible. Dad is proud of you."
Zhou Ziwen laughed. He said: "Dad, this is what I should do."
In fact, he really didn't suffer much. After all, everything he has today is due to the idle panel.
"Brother, can you make me a dressing table? My table is too old."
Zhou Xiaomei came over diligently.
"Of course, little sister, tell me what kind of dressing table you want." Zhou Ziwen nodded with a smile.
"I want one with a mirror, preferably bigger." Zhou Xiaomei said hurriedly.
“Okay, I’ll do it for you tomorrow.”
Zhou Ziwen nodded readily.
He is just such a sister, if he doesn’t love her, who will?
“Thank you, brother!” Zhou Xiaomei thanked happily.
"Haha, thank you for what!" Zhou Ziwen waved his hand carelessly.
It’s just a dressing table and can be done in an hour or two.
I happen to still have some scraps at home, so I’ll just sort through them tomorrow.
The next day, Zhou Ziwen got up early. He glanced at Chen Qiaoyi, who was sleeping soundly next to him, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
As Chen Qiaoyi’s belly gets bigger and bigger, the due date of delivery is getting closer and closer.
He calculated the time and found that in half a month, his daughter would be born. (End of this chapter)
