Chapter 608 604. Bad-tempered Old Man
People say that out of ten carpenters, nine are missing a finger.
This old man is missing three, so he must be capable.
So even though the old man had a bad attitude and was very arrogant, the first thing he said when they met was not polite, and he didn't introduce himself.
He asked for the price directly: "You want to make furniture. Let me be frank. The labor cost is 3,000 per day, and the materials cost is another price."
The village chief's wife didn't refute anything.
Instead, he handed over a piece of paper and said, "We will provide the materials ourselves. Please see if these things can be made first."
This is the furniture that the villagers reported to me yesterday that they wanted to replace.
The old man took it and took a quick glance. He saw that they were all tables, cabinets, beds and other things. There were quite a few of them, about thirty or forty pieces.
He threw the paper back and pouted, "Let's calculate it based on one and a half months first, and add more if it's not enough."
"Ah?" The village head's grandmother was shocked. Three thousand a day, one and a half months, more than one hundred thousand. How much would these furniture cost if they were new? A beautiful big wardrobe in the furniture store only costs three or four thousand yuan.
Before the village head lady could bargain.
The old man added, "Let me make it clear first. You guys are the ones who provide the materials, but I won't use them if they're not suitable. Don't think I don't know that you guys provide the materials just to save money. Who knows where you got those shabby boards from? They broke after two years of use and ruined my reputation."
The village chief’s grandmother was angry.
What kind of person is this? He makes conditions before you give him a job.
What a broken board!
The village head’s face immediately darkened.
He slapped the table and stood up. "Come on, I'll take you to see it, lest some people, with their vision as narrow as the tip of a needle, squat at the bottom of the well and can't climb out."
This old man said without any hesitation: "Come on, I want to see whether it is Phoebe nanmu or sandalwood. You are so arrogant."
The village head’s wife snorted coldly, then strode out of the office with her head held high and her chest puffed out.
The two of them started to argue.
They just met and just a few words made the good-tempered village head lady so angry.
This old man is really capable.
The son of the Seventh Master was stuck in the middle and felt very awkward.
Arriving at the gate of the village committee, the village head's grandmother glanced at the old man and asked, "Your legs and feet are still strong enough, can you walk on the mountain road?"
The old man snorted in response, "Why, go up the mountain to plant trees? It's a little late."
"I have a car. I have a car." The son of the Seventh Master quickly responded.
Without waiting for the two of them to say anything, he quickly ran and drove the car over.
The village chief’s grandmother got on the passenger seat.
The old man went to the back on his own accord.
When the son of Master Qi started the car, he felt extremely regretful and overwhelmed. He wished he would not have taken this job earlier.
-
It only takes a few minutes to drive from the village committee to the platform.
Through the village, through the meadow, and then through the woods.
We soon arrived at the gate of Qingyin Agriculture.
The son of Master Qi stopped the car, rolled down the window, stuck his head out and respectfully called out "Master Gonggong."
Today it is Uncle Gougou who is on duty at the gatehouse.
Uncle Gonggong responded and took out three cards and handed them over.
I put another one on the car door. This is the rule.
Then press the remote control to open the door.
The seventh master's son took the cards, kept one for himself, and was about to pass the remaining two inside.
One of them was snatched away by the village chief's grandmother.
He turned around and threw one to the old man, "Hang it up, don't lose it, or you'll be arrested. There was a spy incident a few years ago, and the police used guns to arrest people."
This is already considered a threat.
But the old man surprisingly didn't respond.
I stared in a daze at the several signs hanging on the door, as well as a large "Radar Monitoring Area" warning sign.
After entering the gate, I saw the towering radar tower again.
A large pillar supports four flat panels, with the words "Radar Tower" written in large letters on the pillar.
These are all modified by the manufacturers after the radars were made public.
It means it can act as a deterrent.
That’s the effect.
The old man sat up straight subconsciously. After the car entered the gate, it drove forward for a while, turned left, and drove along the road to the warehouse.
The old man was stunned after getting off the car.
There are a lot of people and large excavators on the distant mountain, more than on the construction site.
There were a lot of planes in the sky, some of them were so huge, carrying large bundles of saplings, flying back and forth.
What kind of place is this?
"What are you daydreaming about? Come here." The village head's grandmother raised her voice.
The old man was startled and woke up. He looked up and saw that the village head lady had walked far away, so he hurried to catch up with her.
As for the Seventh Master's son, he escaped.
After getting off the car, he hurried to find Luo Yihang.
Luo Yihang is at the drone take-off and landing point today.
Watch the kids in the company operate the drones themselves under the guidance of Engineer Qiao and others.
Although they have passed the exam, the exam and practical experience are not the same thing.
How many people get a driver’s license but don’t dare to drive.
But young people learn things quickly.
Engineer Qiao and his team taught them several times today, and the kids were able to operate it quite well.
Not bad, it didn’t bring shame to the company.
The son of Master Qi found Luo Yihang and quickly told him what happened, mainly about the conflict between the village headwoman and the old carpenter.
"Oh, it's my fault. I didn't ask about it in advance. Who knew that this old man had such a bad temper?" said the son of the Seventh Master at last.
"Uncle, you didn't know each other before?" Luo Yihang asked curiously.
According to seniority, Seventh Master's son Luo Yihang should call him uncle.
The son of the Seventh Master shook his head. "How would I know him? I was just chatting with someone while delivering goods, and I heard that there was an old carpenter in Hutou Village with good craftsmanship."
He usually goes from village to village delivering goods, so he is well-informed.
At this point, the Seventh Master's son sighed again.
"Were you looking for a carpenter yesterday? I mentioned it. My old man told me to ask him last night. I went there today. When I asked him to come, the old man didn't say anything. I thought he just didn't like to talk, but I didn't expect he would have such a bad temper..."
I see, people treat him as an errand boy and there's no point in talking to him.
Soon, Luo Yihang saw the old man and the village chief's grandmother.
Luo Yihang greeted the village head’s grandmother first.
Then he looked at the legendary bad-tempered old man.
He was in his sixties or seventies, wearing a blue cloth jacket and trousers and black cloth shoes.
He is not tall, has gray hair, a slightly hunched back, and a big bump on the back of his neck.
The pressure caused his upper body to lean forward slightly.
His face was still rosy, with a few age spots scattered across it, and a few short wisps of beard on his chin.
The most special thing about him is his hands, with thick knuckles and thick palms.
The ring finger and middle finger of the left hand were severed at the root, and only one knuckle remained on the little finger.
Luo Yihang only glanced at him and didn't look at him again. Instead, he smiled and said, "What's your name, old man?"
Upon hearing this, the son of the Seventh Master slapped his thigh and blamed the old man for coming over and starting to talk nonsense without even having the chance to introduce himself.
"Excuse me, my last name is Li, Li Axe." The old man gave a nickname, and after looking Luo Yihang up and down, he asked, "Are you the boss?"
Luo Yihang nodded, "I invited you here."
Li Axe opened his mouth but said nothing.
After a pause, he pointed to the mountain of branches in the material storage area and asked, "I heard them say that the materials are here with you. Could they be these?"
"No." Luo Yihang waved his hand, "Come with me."
After saying that, he took Li Axe around the tree branch mountain and headed towards the inside.
I was thinking on the way that this old man doesn't have as bad a temper as people say.
At most, he speaks a little bluntly.
As a result, when Li Axe saw the prepared big tree trunk.
I turned against him right away...
