Chapter 324 Zheng’s Carpenter Shop
"Rest in Fennel?" The boy was stunned.
He knows this stuff.
It’s the Western Spice that was so popular a while ago!
This looks like such a big package, why can't it cost more than ten or twenty taels of silver?
"Yes." Qing Yan lowered his eyebrows and smiled slightly while looking at the clean linen package in his hand.
It seems that his plan has failed.
After sending Hu San and Qing Yan away, Nanzhi happily took the key and went to the yard next door to have a look.
The small courtyard had been vacant for a long time, and she just walked around with Qing Yan and Hu San before paying the money.
Now that the yard finally became hers, of course she wanted to take a good look at it.
The small courtyard is narrow and long. Some royal bamboos are planted in front of one side of the courtyard wall to isolate the shops on the other side. It may look a bit messy on weekdays, but now Nanzhi likes it very much.
Although the two rooms have been empty for a while, they are still in good condition. There is just a little extra dust. They can be used directly after a simple cleaning. However, because the yard is relatively narrow, it is a bit difficult to build a staircase and needs to be redesigned. Just fine.
The back of the yard faces the backyard of Sanweiju, which is also a place that makes Nanzhi quite satisfied.
When the time comes, a small door will be opened on the courtyard wall, and in the future, serving food and the like can lead directly to the small courtyard.
Father Lin was lying in the carpenter's shop eating cakes and swinging his legs leisurely when he saw Nanzhi coming here.
"Fat Ya, why are you here?" Lin's father sat up cheerfully and gave Nanzhi a small stool to sit on.
"Dad, I found a job for you." Nanzhi smiled and gave Lin's father a shoulder.
If something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Father Lin looked at his daughter suspiciously, but instead of responding directly, he asked, "What are you going to do again?"
"No way, I just bought a yard, and I want you and my brother to help me build a two-story staircase to get out." Nanzhi didn't dare to speak too loudly, only muttered in a low voice.
Father Lin was a little confused. He looked at the person who was rubbing his shoulders and back and confirmed that it was his daughter. Then he said, "Did you buy a yard?"
"yes."
Nanzhi felt a little unreasonable.
The money earned this month has been paid to the clerk's wages and taxes, and there is still a profit of more than 200 taels.
She herself divided more than one hundred and seventy taels, and it was because of this money that she had the courage to buy the yard.
According to the current rate of making money, as long as this ice cream shop can be opened, she will be able to earn back all the money she invested in it in less than three months.
"Do you think your father is a god?" Father Lin curled his lips.
Although he has some talent as a carpenter, there are still many things that he has not yet learned thoroughly. Does his daughter really think of herself as a god who knows everything?
"What are you doing repairing stairs?"
Looking at her father's suspicious look, Nanzhi felt a little guilty: "Isn't this what happened to my women's building? I thought about buying the yard and building a staircase in the yard to lead from the outside to the women's building. In this way, if any female guests want to drink or something, they can go directly through the courtyard to avoid being bumped into by drunken male guests."
Father Lin frowned. Of course he knew about his daughter's daughter's apartment.
It's possible to follow my daughter's idea, but I don't know what the yard looks like.
Even for him, this matter is really difficult to handle. After all, this thing does not look like it is used by the village itself. Since his daughter is going to use it to do business and receive female customers, naturally it has to be made better.
"Fat Ya, why don't you find someone else to try?" Father Lin didn't dare to agree casually. After all, this thing would affect his daughter's business, and he couldn't joke about it.
"Dad, can't you do it?" Nanzhi was inevitably a little disappointed.
The craftsmanship of my father and two brothers is very good now, and the patterns of carvings are also beautiful. Otherwise, my father would not have made the dowry furniture for the daughter of the Liu family when she got married.
If her father didn't want to do it, she really didn't know who she could go to.
"Go to the north of this street. There is a Zheng family carpentry shop. Ask Master Zheng to do it." Father Lin took another piece of osmanthus cake and pointed to the street entrance.
The three of them, father and son, can make furniture shakers, but Master Zheng is an expert at building houses.
You still have to ask someone to do this.
Nodding, Nanzhi squeezed Father Lin's shoulder again and then looked in the direction of his finger.
After sending his daughter away, Father Lin lay down again, holding a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake in one hand and a bowl of tea in the other, and ate it happily.
Life in Dashi Village was hard back then. Every year, I could have a bite of sweets during the New Year holidays. When my children were young, I had to share them with them. When my children grew up, they had grandchildren. Now things are getting better. When will I? You can eat whatever you want.
Things are going well at home too.
As I was saying this, I suddenly thought of Aunt Zhuang at home.
Lin Shougui's originally good mood suddenly turned a little worse, and he felt that the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his hand no longer smelled good.
He had to find a way to drive that person away, otherwise the family would be troubled by her sooner or later.
Nanzhi followed Lin's father's words and found the Zheng family carpentry shop.
Master Zheng is in his forties this year, younger than Father Lin. When he saw someone coming in, he only raised his eyelids and said nothing.
Being so ignored, Nanzhi was a little embarrassed, thinking that maybe someone was busy, so she just stood aside and waited.
After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Master Zheng finally spoke: "What are you here for?"
Hearing Master Zheng speak, Nanzhi quickly explained his purpose: "I want to ask Master Zheng to help me build a staircase."
Master Zheng raised his eyes and stopped tinkering with the things in the drum: "Is it repairing or something? How tall and big is it, and what material is it made of?"
Nanzhi was a little confused when asked, so he only told what he knew: "I want you to build a connection outside the house. The material needs to be better. How big and tall it is. Please come over and have a look to see what it can be like."
Hearing what she said, Master Zheng became interested, and then he put down what he was holding and stood up.
"Whose girl are you from? Forget it, just lead the way. I'll go over and take a look."
Ever since the Lin family's carpentry shop came to the street, his business here has been a little bit worse. Although he doesn't really like making dressing tables, he still has to eat. Seeing that this girl looks a bit like the one named Lin, but Don’t be a family.
"Eh."
Nanzhi didn't say which family he belonged to, but just led the people to the yard.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Master Zheng frowned a little. The layout of the courtyard was too strange.
"Master Zheng, I want to build a staircase here to directly connect to the third floor. Do you think it's okay?"
Nanzhi pointed in the direction. Master Zheng looked in the direction of her finger and clicked his tongue lightly.
This is big business coming.
