Chapter 50: The Kind Ancients
Chapter 50: The kind ancient man
At midnight, there is a wine room on earth.
Two figures were sneaking around the distilled stove.
"Brother, how could you make such a strong wine if you say that just something similar to an ordinary stove?"
"I don't know either, if the farmer comes, he should know."
After watching for a few rounds, the two of them felt nothing was strange and returned to their residence.
These two are two brothers who were sneaked out of Gongshu. They are the most outstanding children of Gongshu and are full of obsession with carpentry.
When the two heard that a new type of table and chair appeared in Chang'an, which was extremely comfortable to sit. The two of them were naturally itchy and sneaked out to see the legendary table and chair.
The two of them came to heaven and earth with the pseudonyms, Mulin and Musen.
The two of them saw the legendary table and chair, and they were a little disappointed. For them, there was nothing strange about this thing, although they had never seen it before.
Two people can easily make it with just a glance. The problem is that it is such a simple thing, and no one has thought of it and made it for thousands of years.
The two felt that Yi Fan, who invented the table and chair, was a very powerful person. As the most outstanding person in the generation of public losers, they really wanted to compete with Yi Fan.
Because the legendary Yi Fan is also from the same lineage as a family of hundreds of schools, they are also very dissatisfied.
Woodworking has always been the pride of the Gongshu. Things like tables and chairs should have been invented by the Gongshu.
Now that a man who is not a public loser has been found out, the two of them feel very embarrassed and must compete with Yi Fan to get back the scene.
Before Mulin and Musen competed with Yi Fan, someone came to them to compete.
"Who smashed my table and said the table I made was extremely rough?"
Zhao Gui is a famous carpenter in Chang'an City. Yi Fan originally found the tables, chairs and benches used in the heaven and earth that he built.
Zhao Gui also made a small fortune because of this. If anyone in Chang'an City wanted to make this new table and chair, he would think of him the first thing he wanted. He changed his previous life because of Yi Fan's appearance.
Two days ago, he heard that the first set of tables and chairs he made was smashed by someone, and he also said that his work was extremely rough.
How could Zhao Gui now be considered a well-known person in Chang'an City? He smashed the table he made, which was to smash his signboard and slapped him in the face. How could he bear this?
Zhao Gui entered the heaven and earth, and saw Yi Fan next to the counter at a glance, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Good good luck to you, little man."
Yi Fan had some impression of this Zhao Guest and replied, "It turns out it's Master Zhao. You are here just right. I'm going to make some hot pot tables again. Since you are here, I'll save you from having someone to travel."
"Little Langjun, how can you hand over such a task to outsiders? We can complete it with brothers."
Mu Lin brought Mu Sen to join forces. The two looked at Zhao Gui. Mu Lin said, "I smashed the table you made, and it was also what I said that the table you made was extremely rough."
When Zhao Gui saw that they were two teenagers in their seventeen or eighteen years, he couldn't help but be angry and said, "Young man is not old and has a tone. I, Zhao Gui, dare not say anything else. Just these new tables and chairs, in this Chang'an City, who dares to say that I am not doing well."
"That's because they have never seen a really good one. As the saying goes, there are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys dominate the king."
Zhao Gui's teeth clattered, and he suppressed the anger in his heart. The two young men questioned the woodworking craftsmanship he was proud of. He was already unhappy in his heart, but he was even called a monkey. This was unbearable.
"I heard from you two just now, I think I am a carpenter. How about you two competing with me?"
Mu Lin and Mu Sen snorted coldly, Mu Sen said disdainfully: "Compared with us, you are not worthy."
Zhao Gui was so angry that he screamed: "Little husband, don't say that I, Lao Zhao, don't give you face, I will definitely not have a break with these two children today."
Yi Fan also felt that the two of them were a little too much, so he waved his hand and said, "These two of them were also left in the store to help the workers pay off their debts because they smashed my desk and chair and had no money to pay, so they stayed in the store to help the workers pay off their debts. Master Zhao doesn't have to care about me."
Mu Lin and Mu Sen looked at each other. They really didn't expect that Yi Fan was so unethical. At least his brothers were still helping you with free work every day.
Zhao Gui was extremely depressed at this time. Mu Lin and the others said they looked down on him, but they didn't compare with him. This made Zhao Gui feel very frustrated and felt like he was powerful and could not be used.
"Little Langjun, you just said that there is a new type of table that I need to build. Do you think this is true?"
Yi Fan nodded and said it was true.
Mulin and Musen immediately jumped out to express their objection.
"Young man, no, you should hand over these new wooden tools to my brothers to make. How can you let this vulgar person do it?"
Zhao Gui pulled a curve to the corner of his mouth, and said with a hint of complacent voice: "Little shopkeeper, since these two people say that I have a vulgar skills, why not let me wait for the three of them to use this new table and compete? Whoever does the best will be the rest. I wonder what the little husband wants?"
Yi Fan naturally has no objection. If you have a free show, why not do it?
Yi Fan handed the drawings to them and ignored them.
The three of them were a little disappointed when they saw the drawings. They thought it was an exquisite object, but they were no different from the original table. They were just a hole in the middle to put the pot.
Mulin and Musen returned to the room with drawings to study how to make a hot pot table.
Zhao Gui did not leave, but asked Yi Fan to take a step to speak.
Yi Fan had no choice but to take him to the study room, and sat down at the study room. Zhao Ji took out a long gift slip and handed it to Yi Fan.
"Speaking of this, Zhao has to thank Xiao Langjun. If it weren't for your new table and chair, Zhao would probably still be worried about food and clothing now.
Since Chang'an people began to like these new tables and chairs, I have taken more and more jobs, and now I have brought several apprentices.
I only finished the work I had done two days ago, so I had time to thank you in person with my husband.”
?Yi Fan looked at the gift list in his hand and felt infinitely moved. In this era without copyright and patent, there were people who took the initiative to give things to the inventor.
Yi Fan was not polite and accepted it directly. Seeing that Yi Fan had accepted the gift list, Zhao Gui breathed a sigh of relief.
These days, Zhao Gui always feels uneasy when he is doing new tables and chairs. He is like stealing something from someone else. He always feels that one day the owner of this thing will come. He is here today to spend money to buy peace of mind.
Zhao Gui called out several apprentices to carry the gifts into the backyard of heaven and earth, said goodbye to Yi Fan, and then took a carriage from the back door.
In the carriage, Zhao Gui let out a long sigh and said to himself: "I can finally sleep well tonight."
