Siheyuan: At the beginning, he became a stickler's father

Chapter 68 Part-time Carpenter Jia Dongxu

"Huairu, show me that ledger!"

After returning home from work, Jia Dongxu immediately yelled into the room.

Qin Huairu was holding the soles of her shoes, when Jia Zhang stood up, found the accounting book from the room, and handed it to Jia Dongxu.

"Mrs. Chen's house, two-legged bench maintenance, one yuan and five!"

"Aunt Li's house, the legs of the table are short, two yuan!"

Except for the big business at Grandma Wang's house in the courtyard next door, the other seven, seven, eighty or eighty jobs are relatively simple.

Of course, the wages are relatively less!
The most expensive one is only Uncle Chen's house, and they want to play an Eight Immortals table!

At that time, after a lot of bargaining with Jia Zhang, it was finally settled, 25 yuan including labor and materials!

Don't be too expensive!

No matter how cheap it is, then you can't use mortise and tenon splicing!Just put a nail and a hammer on it, and Jia Dongxu can get it done for 15 yuan!

"I'll go out first! I'll finish these odd jobs!"

"Eat first, don't wait for me, just save me a meal!"

After Jia Dongxu finished speaking, he took his thick canvas tool bag and two wooden slats on his shoulders, and went out to the next yard.

Since he wanted to earn this money, he couldn't delay these tasks!
If you drag one another, you are guaranteed to be intercepted by others!

Therefore, Jia Dongxu decided that, except for the big business of Grandma Wang's family, other tasks should be done during this time and done quickly!
When there is time, I will go to Grandma Wang's house to start work later, without delaying anything!

"Aunt Li! I'm Dongxu!"

"Where is the short leg of your table, let me show you!"

Make money!Not shabby!
As soon as Jia Dongxu entered the next yard, he immediately shouted at the top of his voice.

Aunt Li was cooking in the house, and when she heard this, she immediately ran out excitedly.

"Come in, come in!"

"Dongxu, you have to take care of me, this broken table leg has tortured me for months!"

For some reason, one of the legs of the table in Aunt Li's house suddenly became uneven!

And ah, it's getting worse!

It was just a slight sway before, and it was solved by putting books and newspapers on it before!

But recently the shaking is even worse, and it is almost useless to eat!

But Aunt Li's husband only earns more than 20 yuan a month!If he had to change the table directly, he really couldn't afford it!

After Jia Dongxu was led into the room, he bent down to check the legs of the table.

Indeed, one was particularly frayed!

This old table has not been painted, after a long time, the moisture on the ground must be stained, it will be easy to rot!
It's been rotten for a long time, but it's uneven!

"Don't worry, I'll solve this little problem for you right away!"

"Before you have dinner at your house, definitely get it done!"

Jia Dongxu signed a guarantee ticket, then took out his tools and started working!
"Hey, it's a good feeling!"

"Okay, Dongxu, you do it, I'll cook first, and when the meal is ready, you can eat here!"

After speaking, Aunt Li turned around and went back to the kitchen, and then prepared her meals.

Jia Dongxu pulled out the tape measure and measured the size.

Then he took out the saw and sawed the spare wood he brought!
This fine northeast old cold pine is much more resistant to corrosion than the rotten wood of Aunt Li's house!

With the efforts of the three couples, Jia Dongxu directly sawed it and installed it with nails.

Then use a plane to smooth the contact surface, put the table in place, and move it vigorously, but seeing that there is no shaking, Jia Dongxu called Aunt Li to come and have a look.

"What? It's done so quickly?"

Aunt Li was a little surprised!
"Of course! I said it won't delay your work!"

"Of course, the quality is guaranteed! As long as there is another problem with the leg I repaired, I will replace it with a new one for free!"

Jia Dongxu patted his chest and assured Aunt Li.

"Hey, it's a good relationship!"

"They all live in the same courtyard. Aunt Li must believe in your craftsmanship! By the way, stay and finish the meal!"

Although Aunt Li said she trusted her, she was shaking his table unceremoniously with her hands.

Seeing that it was exactly as Jia Dongxu said, the table didn't move at all!Only then did she keep Jia Dongxu for dinner with a smile on her face.

"No, no, no! I accept your kindness! I still have a lot of work to do! I won't keep any more!"

"Let me take a look at this table leg... Mmm! It's two yuan!"

As Jia Dongxu said, he dug out the ledger again and looked at the price agreed upon by both parties!

Aunt Li felt a little pained when she heard the words, but two yuan is not too much!

After all, she met an old carpenter who charged five yuan with a lion's mouth!
After paying the bill, he put the two dollars into his pocket, and Jia Dongxu turned and walked towards the backyard.

"Ms. Chen! Are you at home?"

"I'm Dongxu! I'm here to fix the bench for you!"

Although before this, he had never interacted with this old lady Chen, and he hadn't even spoken to her once!
But, to do business, you have to be familiar with yourself!
Jia Dongxu shouted from outside the door with a friendly face. After a while, Mrs. Chen walked to the door tremblingly and opened the door!

This person is Jia Zhang's old girlfriend!
Otherwise, with Jia Zhang's stinginess, he can at most repair a stool for her at the price of one yuan and five!
Two pieces are only one yuan and five, which is really a painful price offered by Jia Zhang's!

"Jia Dong...what's the matter with Dong!"

Mrs. Chen is in the 80s and [-]s, and she is just like that. As for the memory, it is obviously even worse.

"Oh! Dongxu!"

Jia Dongxu followed into the room and said.

"Jia what Xu?"

Mrs. Chen asked with a puzzled expression, her mouth crooked.

"Hey! Jia can do anything! Just tell me where those two benches are!"

Good guy, I'm afraid that the old lady was taken away by the old man who was enjoying the shade. As soon as the two questions were uttered, Jia Dongxu was quite speechless.

He, just let the old lady call whatever he wants,
Hurry up and do the work, it is true to take the money and leave!

"Oh!!! That stool... what Dongxu?"

Mrs. Chen pointed to the corner, where there happened to be two old-fashioned wooden square stools!
"Come on! Dongxu can be whatever Dongxu you love!"

Jia Dongxu ignored the old lady, walked straight to the wall, carried the two stools, and walked to the door.

After carefully looking at it several times, I found that it was the seam. The original workmanship was not done meticulously!
It is said that this kind of card embedding technology does not require strict seams on both sides, so it must be quite different!

But the stool in Mrs. Chen's house is obviously a carpenter who cut corners!Inconsistent dimensions at joints!In order to prevent the stool from shaking, the previous carpenter directly cut a few small pieces of wood and smashed them in with a hammer!

Plane the front with a planer!

In this way, there is no problem on the surface!
But after a long time, the wood chips can no longer bite, and they will naturally start to loosen again!
