Start with three days of hunger and nine meals, and become rich and tempting

Liu Siyu looked up and had no impression of the people outside the house.

Wang took two quick steps forward and said with a smile, "Mrs. Gao is here. Please come in and sit down."

Gao smiled and looked at Liu Siyu.

"No, I'm busy at home."

Turning to Liu Siyu, he said, "Are you free, Miss? My boss is very interested in the cabinet you mentioned, and would like to discuss it with you before starting work."

When Liu Siyu heard the word "cabinet", she realized that the man was from Carpenter Tan's family.

She suddenly remembered the agreement between her and Carpenter Tan, but she didn't expect the old man to be so anxious.

He said bluntly, "I'll go with you now if I'm free."

Gao was naturally happy.

Wang said hastily, "Let Sihan go with you."

Gao thought of the two half-grown boys in her family and immediately understood what Wang meant.

Be alert immediately.

The Liu family is the focus of the village, and Liu Siyu is full of gossip.

If I visit her house more often in the future, and if I get involved in some gossip with her son, wouldn't that ruin her son's life?

Suddenly the smile became a little stiff.

"If you are free, come to my house and sit with me."

Wang waved her hand.

"No, I don't understand anything, so I won't join in the fun."

When Gao looked at Liu Siyu again, there was less joy in her eyes, and she was more cautious.

In Carpenter Tan's yard, two camphorwood boxes had already been made.

The desks were taken care of by his two sons. The desks of that era were not as complicated as they are now. They were a bit like the simple coffee tables of modern times.

It's just a little bit higher than the average coffee table.

Liu Siyu took a look and found that the workmanship was quite delicate and the polishing was quite smooth.

He praised her without hesitation, "Great craftsmanship."

Liu Sihan looked more carefully, especially at the desk, which he looked at and touched again and again.

As I imagined myself sitting at a desk reading a book, a smile unconsciously appeared on my face.

Carpenter Tan was a little proud. He had learned the craft since he was a child, and his skills were well-known in the surrounding villages.

Although the two boys are not very old, they have been learning from him since they were young. Although their skills are one level lower than his, they are much better than ordinary carpenters.

Just when I was about to brag a little, I suddenly remembered the purpose of coming to see Liu Siyu.

It suddenly turned into a flattering smile.

"Miss, did you bring your blueprints?"

Liu Siyu took out a piece of rice paper from her bosom, on which was a charcoal drawing she had made with the dimensions marked in detail.

Carpenter Tan's old face was so happy that it turned into a chrysanthemum.

“You drew all this?”

"Of course," Liu Siyu said without any modesty.

"I've been doing some small business in town lately, and I've been to many wealthy families' homes. I've seen their cabinets and made some improvements based on my own ideas."

Carpenter Tan looked incredulous.

He can draw a blueprint just by looking at it for a few times, and can even change it according to his own preferences. Isn't this a true carpentry genius?

He suddenly felt it was such a pity. If it was a boy, he would train him as his own disciple no matter what.

This understanding and talent are even better than that of his eldest son, whom he has always been optimistic about.

I suddenly had a new plan.

He said to the young man beside him: "Fang Mu, come here."

Fang Mu is the eldest son of Carpenter Tan, and he has long been interested in high and low cabinets.

Hearing his father calling him, he immediately ran forward.

Carpenter Tan handed the blueprint to Fang Mu and asked a question deliberately.

"What do you think of this drawing?"

Fang Mu nodded sincerely.

"Good, the drawings are clear and concise, and all the dimensions are specially marked. If someone doesn't know, they would definitely think it was made by an old carpenter."

Carpenter Tan agreed with his son's words very much, and his eyes moved back and forth between the two of them.

"Fang Mu, I'm leaving this cabinet to you. I'll help you with it, and you and the eldest girl will decide all the details."

Tan Fangmu's face was full of surprise, but then he was filled with excitement.

Liu Siyu looked indifferent. It was just a kitchen storage cabinet, so it would be fine.

If Carpenter Tan wants to educate his son, then let him do so. After all, these things are free.

Fang Mu looked at the blueprint, then looked at Liu Siyu, and felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

"What, what should I call you?"

"Liu Siyu, or you can call me Big Girl."

Fang Mu thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll call you Sister Siyu!"

"Okay," Liu Siyu was very straightforward. It was just a name and it didn't matter what you called it.

The two began to discuss the details of the cabinets. Liu Siyu talked a lot and repeated her ideas about the high and low cabinets.

Fang Mu has always loved carpentry work, especially when he comes across new styles, he gets more excited than his father.

Liu Siyu's words seemed to open up a new world.

Fang Mu listened carefully, his eyes unconsciously glancing at Liu Siyu's face.

The woman had delicate skin, sparkling eyes, and her rosy cherry mouth opened and closed as she spoke.

Fang Mu couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat. He had always followed his father in making furniture, but this was the first time he spoke to a little girl at such a close distance.

For a moment, I couldn't help but blush.

This scene happened to be seen by Gao. Her heart skipped a beat and she quickly put down the basket in her hand, feeling a little resentful towards Carpenter Tan.

"How can you teach your children such an important task?"

Carpenter Tan had his own plans and didn't want to explain further.

"These are all matters of craftsmanship. As a woman, you should not worry too much about them."

Gao frowned, not wanting to confront her husband in front of outsiders.

She had no choice but to instigate her youngest son Yuanmu to stand between the two of them. Together with Liu Sihan, the four of them were together. Only then did Gao feel slightly relieved.

After discussing the details, Liu Siyu deliberately walked around to Carpenter Tan.

He first said a few words of recognition of his craftsmanship, and then tempted him: "Uncle Tan, have you ever thought about selling the furniture you make to Qinghe County?"

"Sell it to Qinghe County?"

Carpenter Tan was slightly surprised by Liu Siyu's idea.

Then he shook his head, "Let's not talk about how far it is from here to Qinghe County. How can those people in the county be interested in my craftsmanship?"

Although he was proud of his craftsmanship, it was limited to those of ordinary carpenters in the village.

If he wanted to break into the city, with his limited skills, he might not even get a bowl of soup. He was quite self-aware of this.

Liu Siyu smiled lightly, "Uncle, why should you be so modest? Once the high and low cabinets are made, we can slowly promote them in the surrounding villages."

"As more people know about it, the news will naturally spread to the town. Good wine is not afraid of being hidden in the alley, and good things are not afraid of not having a market."

When Carpenter Tan heard about the high and low cabinets, his heart became excited again.

After Liu Siyu and her brother left, Gao immediately stepped forward and sent her two sons away.

Carpenter Tan knew that his wife had something to say and he pointed it out directly.

"What's the matter? Are you afraid that our son might be tempted?"

Seeing that her husband was a sensible man, Gao felt a little doubtful.

"Since you know what I'm thinking, why do you let the two children be alone together?"

Carpenter Tan chuckled and said, "My son is already 15 this year, it's time for him to start a family."

Gao was somewhat dissatisfied.

"Don't pretend to be ignorant. Our son can't find what he wants. Even if he is still single, I don't want a daughter-in-law who is full of gossip."

Carpenter Tan shook his head.

"Women's opinions, you believe the gossips of the village women. If the two of them are interested, our father and son's craftsmanship will be able to go further."

Gao stared at Carpenter Tan in disbelief.

"Do you... do you know what you are talking about?"
