Shi An suggested: "Why don't we go out and find a carpenter to make it?"

"Good idea." Su Yu turned to look at Su Shikuan and said, "Kuan'er, go out and ask around now to see if there is any carpenter nearby who is good at making this kind of thing, and ask about the approximate price."

Su Shikuan rushed out immediately after hearing this. However, he returned in a hurry soon after, with a look of confusion and helplessness on his face. It turned out that he had no idea how to express his needs to others. So, he blinked and looked at Shi An, and asked, "Sister, I know I have to find a carpenter... But what does the tofu frame look like?"

Shi An tried to recall the appearance of the object in her memory and tried to describe it in detail. However, after she explained it with great effort, not only Su Shikuan was confused, but also the others present were at a loss. Especially when she mentioned that the tofu frame could be disassembled and folded, everyone was confused.

Shi An looked at Su Shi Kuan's confused expression and couldn't help feeling a little strange. She frowned and asked again, "Don't you understand yet?" There was a hint of doubt in her voice.

Su Shikuan touched his head, revealed a simple smile, and answered honestly: "Well... I'm still a little confused."

"Ah? How is this possible?" Shi An widened his eyes and looked at Su Shi Kuan in disbelief. "Second brother, everyone else has understood, why don't you understand?"

At this time, Su Shirong and Su Daya on the side also interrupted and said: "Yes, we are not sure either."

Su Yu and Deng Xian looked at each other and said, "We are also confused."

Shi An sighed helplessly when he saw this. Su Yu took out a pen and paper and said to Shi An, "Little girl, tell me what to draw."

"Oh, good."

The father and daughter continued to paint and revise. Time passed quickly, and about an incense stick of time had passed. Fortunately, Su Yu had a high level of painting attainment. After going through untold hardships, he finally painted a painting that was almost the same as Shi An's description, with about 70% similarity.

Not only that, Shi An even asked him to draw each board separately and attach detailed assembly diagrams. There was no other reason for doing so, just because she thought Su Yu was the person who accepted new things the fastest among all the people she met. But even he had some things he didn't understand, so it must be even more difficult for others to understand.

Only then did Su Shikuan go out with the blueprint in hand to look for a carpenter. Coincidentally, there was a carpenter's family just two doors away from his home. There was a young carpenter in the yard, named Chen Dabao, who was about 17 or 18 years old.

However, this person usually neglected to take care of his appearance, so when Su Shikuan first saw him, he couldn't help but blurt out "Uncle", which almost made him furious.

Chen Dabao asked him impatiently: "What are you doing?"

"Uncle, are you a carpenter?"

"Which one is your uncle? Are you blind and can't you see that I'm so young?" Chen Dabao was really angry this time. He glared at the other person fiercely, looking like he wanted to eat him.

At this time, a middle-aged man came out of the room and stopped Chen Dabao: "Dabao, what are you doing? If you have something to say, just say it nicely, why are you so angry?" After saying that, he turned to look at Su Shikuan and asked: "Little kid, who are you from?"

"Hello uncle! I'm from the Su family. I just moved next door two days ago." Su Shikuan replied politely.

The middle-aged man was delighted when Su Shikuan called him "Uncle". "Haha, so you are the child of Su Xiucai. What's your name?"

"My name is Su Shikuan."

"Oh, then I will call you Kuan'erha from now on!" The middle-aged man said with a smile, "You can call me Uncle Chen, and he is my son Chen Dabao, so you can call him Brother Dabao."

Su Shikuan nodded obediently, and then called sweetly: "Okay, Uncle Chen, Brother Dabao."

"Dad..." Chen Dabao looked at the scene in front of him, feeling helpless. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but found that he couldn't interrupt the conversation between his father and Su Shikuan.

Uncle Chen took the blueprint from Su Shikuan without saying anything, and handed it to Chen Dabao, saying firmly, "Make it for Kuan'er."

Chen Dabao took the blueprint with doubts in his heart. After a closer look, he was immediately furious. Who on earth could come up with such a complicated and cumbersome design? However, since Uncle Chen was right beside him, he could not get angry either. He could only swallow his anger silently and accept the task.

At this time, Uncle Chen seemed to see through his son's thoughts and gently reminded him: "If you really want to take on work on your own in the future, then finish this thing first. As long as you complete it to my satisfaction, I will agree to let you fly solo."

Hearing this, Chen Dabao's originally gloomy face suddenly became bright, his eyes flashed with excitement, and he nodded repeatedly in response: "That's almost right!"

Su Shikuan, who was standing by, saw this and cautiously interrupted and asked, "Uncle Chen, how much does it cost to make a tofu box like this?"

Uncle Chen picked up the drawing, looked at it carefully again, then thought for a moment and replied: "Well, this so-called tofu box is indeed novel and unique in design, and the wood used is not rare. In my opinion, you might as well go back and ask your elders at home if thirty cents is feasible?" After saying that, his sharp eyes fell on Su Shikuan again.

"Thank you, Uncle Chen. I'll go talk to my parents and I'll be back soon."

"Go for it!"

Watching Su Shikuan leaving, Chen Dabao smiled and turned to his father and said, "Dad, why are you charging such a low price today?"

Father Chen frowned slightly and responded, "Is it cheap? Thirty cents is not a small amount."

Chen Dabao curled his lips and retorted disapprovingly: "You are kidding me, you are obviously doing this because my father is a scholar..."

Father Chen glared at him and said sternly, "Stop talking nonsense! I have always treated everyone equally in business, so how could I be biased because of the other party's status? Besides, that scholar should be a regular customer of our family in the future, so it is only natural to give him some discounts."

Chen Dabao knew his father's temper very well, so he didn't say anything more, but he was secretly muttering in his heart. However, he was always very attentive to the carpentry work, so he nodded and said, "I know, I will go prepare the wood and make it perfect!" After that, he turned around and got busy.
