Shen Huai had a dream all night. In the dream, he was drawing blueprints, from the outline of the chair to the prototype, and the details of each part. All the lines became clearly visible in his eyes, as if he hadn't done it before. Suddenly understand something.
After waking up in the morning, the moment he opened his eyes, his first thought was to rush into the study and write down what he thought of.
It was exactly five o'clock in the morning, and the sky had just dawned.
Chen Yuan and the children were still asleep. Shen Huai picked up the design drawing and began to study it again. He just started drawing yesterday, and the drawing was not very good in many places, especially when compared with Chen Yuan's design drawing. Tragic.
Comparing the contents of the two pictures, Shen Huai felt more and more how difficult it was for Chen Yuan to draw such lines, and every stroke was very meticulous.
Chen Yuan has white, tender and slender fingers with clearly visible knuckles and no calluses. A pair of thin and beautiful hands have created so many miraculous things. It is unbelievable to think about it. She is really an extraordinary woman. .
Shen Huai appreciates Chen Yuan from the bottom of his heart, and he has to catch up with Chen Yuan's ability as soon as possible.
His progress today is better than yesterday, at least he can draw shapes in a decent way.
When Chen Yuan woke up, seeing Shen Huai being so diligent, she was of course happy in her heart. It was the best thing that the other party could take the initiative to start a fight.
When Shen Mingyuan came to Shen's house again, Shen Huai gave Shen Mingyuan the design drawings that had been produced and asked.
"Mingyuan, can you do this?"
Shen Mingyuan took it over with a slightly trembling shoulder, and was very surprised. He could tell at a glance that the drawings of the table and chairs were unusual, but he had never seen such a good drawing. It was of high quality, exquisite details, and the key styles were not the same unusual.
This style is unheard of and unseen before. It has some functions, and I don’t even know what it is for. Besides, it should be a set of tables and chairs. No matter how you look at it, the craftsmanship is extremely complicated.
He shook his head without confidence, knowing that his own technology is not good enough to make such a high-quality blueprint, and trying to do it is just a waste of it: "This blueprint is very fine, I'm afraid I won't be able to make something like this."
When Chen Yuan heard this, she came out of the study and said seriously: "No matter what difficulties you have, the two of us will help you make them together. We can't make some parts by ourselves, so we go to the foundry to process them, but the core parts We have to do part of it by ourselves, and the process should be very troublesome, but if it is really done, your two nephews will not be so tired doing homework in the future."
Shen Huai actually understood Chen Yuan's intentions. She was not only thinking about the children, but also thinking about Shen Mingyuan. Otherwise, wouldn't it be enough to hand over such a difficult thing to a more powerful craftsman? Why did she hand it over to Shen Mingyuan? No, I still want to help him out of poverty.
From selling melon seeds before to the current multifunctional tables and chairs, everything Chen Yuan did was actually helping Shen Mingyuan grow up, and the most important thing was that after these things taught Shen Mingyuan, the future was his means of survival. Being able to be independent is Shen Huai's greatest expectation for him.
When Shen Mingyuan heard what Chen Yuan said, he was particularly moved by Chen Yuan's help. No matter what melon seeds he made or the blueprint, his second sister-in-law would teach him by hand. As far back as he could remember, no one had been so patient with him, even The second elder brother can't care about him like the second sister-in-law, and he has nothing to repay her, so as long as the second sister-in-law tells him, he will definitely complete all the things.
"Thank you, thank you, I will definitely do it well, and I will definitely let Dabao and Erbao use such tables and chairs."
"If you have time, you can go to the store and the lumber factory first to see if there are any raw materials we need. After the purchase is complete, we can start production."
After arranging their respective affairs, Chen Yuan went to make lunch for the children, while Shen Huai was drawing drawings to the point where he forgot to sleep and eat. After a few days, he would devote himself to drawing whenever he was free. Chen Yuan still has to concentrate.
Chen Yuan deliberately slowed down her work progress, but handed it over to Shen Huai for overall planning, especially when the design draft was completed, she completely became the hands-off shopkeeper.
As for Shen Mingyuan, apart from setting up a stall of frying melon seeds these days, he and Shen Huai bought raw materials everywhere, but the materials are not very easy to buy, and some of them take a few days to customize, and the cost of this set of tables and chairs is very high, so the whole set is made to order. , the cost was 30 yuan, which was more than his monthly wages in a newspaper office, twice as much as his apprenticeship in a wood factory, and three times more than the allowance for the disabled.
He deeply felt that with his previous salary, he couldn't even afford a set of such desks and chairs. Wealth symbolizes ability, and one can imagine how small his ability is.
Shen Mingyuan secretly made up his mind that even though his body is disabled, his soul is complete, so he must make himself strong so that he can become someone who can help his second brother and sister-in-law in the future.
Since he didn't go to work, his time to set up a stall has become full-time. According to the list of entertainment places given to him by his second wife, he found the most suitable time and place to set up a stall based on the squatting and testing.
And we must ensure that we can grab the best position before other hawkers come. His business has always been very good, and he has made a lot of money these days. Earn more than working.
Shen Mingyuan still set up a stall as usual, but to his surprise, someone came earlier than him today, and took his pre-calculated position. This kind of situation did not happen before. Business will be just as good.
Taking a closer look, it turned out that the one who occupied the best position was actually the old man who sold melon seeds he met before. Today, the old man was different from before. He straightened his back and looked at Shen Mingyuan arrogantly. His posture didn't take him seriously at all. inside.
The old man pointed at his booth and yelled, surrounded by many customers: "Take a look, I also have creamy and jasmine-flavored melon seeds here, which are delicious and cheap, only 8 cents a cup."
The customers came over curiously, because it was really attractive when they heard that it was two cents cheaper than the usual price.
The family is not very rich these days. Although two cents is small, it is still money, and I can buy two candies.
The cheap price attracted a lot of people to sell melon seeds. The old man's tactic robbed most of the business. If there are eight cents of melon seeds, customers think that ten cents is very expensive, so Shen Mingyuan's business suddenly became bleak. Only a few old customers who used to buy melon seeds before took care of the business, but the number of them was very small, and there were still 20 catties of melon seeds in the box that no one cared about.
Shen Mingyuan suddenly felt that what the old man said that day was actually true. Did he really crack the secret recipe and imitate it just by eating it
Because the old man robs business, his business today is not as good as before.
Some customers also persuaded him to lower the price, but Shen Mingyuan's melon seeds cost a lot. If he lowered the price, he would definitely not be able to make money. Moreover, he and his second sister-in-law did business together, so even if they wanted to lower the price, they had to ask the other party's opinion.
Shen Mingyuan also felt that if the old man really used the same formula as him, then he would only sell it for eight cents, would he still make money? What's more, even the original melon seeds that don't add anything are still sold for ten cents a cup, isn't this too cheap now
He felt that something was wrong, so he decided to find a familiar customer to help him buy some from the stall next door to see if the taste was the same.
Shen Mingyuan tasted it, and felt that it did have a creamy taste, as well as the taste of jasmine, and it was so heavy that he could hardly taste the taste of melon seeds. fragrant.
Today, Shen Mingyuan saw that the business at the cinema was not good, so he turned around and rode his newly bought bicycle to the Cultural Palace to set up a stall. After tossing around, this time without the old man's involvement, it was finally sold out.
After returning to Shen's house, Shen Mingyuan told Chen Yuan about the old man selling melon seeds for 8 cents.
Chen Yuan was curious, tried the bag of melon seeds that Shen Mingyuan brought back, and suddenly frowned after eating, "These melon seeds have all gone bad."
"Ah, why can't I eat it?"
"Because the other party used a lot of essence to cover up the deterioration, so you can only taste the essence, but not the fragrance of the melon seeds themselves."
Chen Yuan's sense of taste is very sensitive, and she knew that the melon seeds were broken as soon as she ate them. It seems that the old man used shoddy methods to lower the price.
"Mingyuan, the most important thing in business is honesty, and eating is not important, food safety and taste are the first, so you see, because the price is cheap, it is also the customer who wants to be fresh for a while, but so Doing business will never last long."
Shen Mingyuan nodded, he kept in mind what his second aunt said, he must be honest when doing business, so that the business can last and customers can trust him.
"The new flavor of melon seeds hasn't been released yet, and it will be ready to sell in a few days."
Shen Mingyuan nodded honestly and agreed, after the plums are pickled, they can be used to soak melon seeds.
After a few days, this difference really made Chen Yuan right. That old man only had good business for the first few days. After a long time, everyone felt that his melon seeds were not tasty, so they stopped buying them and came back to continue to Shen Mingyuan. Buy melon seeds at the stall.
His sales have returned to what they were before, and after the three new flavors of melon seeds were launched, they have aroused a burst of enthusiasm among customers.
These three flavors are more special and delicious, especially for customers who like salty melon seeds. The five-spice beef flavor is simply a blessing for them. The caramel-flavored melon seeds taste sweet and sweet, and the plum flavor is the most special. , everyone is most curious about this kind of taste, the special sour taste with a hint of sweetness, it is the best snack to stimulate the secretion of saliva, and it is said that after eating the plum flavor, the appetite will improve, and you can buy it for one or two yuan at the same time The melon seeds can still be knocked out, and you can buy them in a variety of flavors, and they all taste delicious. There is no choice syndrome. Adults must have them, and children only make choices.
The old man's business deteriorated and he began to be jealous of Shen Mingyuan, but he couldn't use the method of reducing the price, otherwise the cost of inferior melon seeds would not be able to cover the cost, and no matter how cheap the essence was, he would have to spend money to buy it. If he didn't make money, wouldn't his work be in vain? But seeing the customer's money running into Shen Mingyuan's pocket like running water, his jealous eyes turned red.
At the same time, raw materials for multifunctional tables and chairs were also bought back.
Shen Huai and Shen Mingyuan were busy for about three or four days, and finished the production in the rented house. During this period, they encountered various problems, but they were all easily resolved by Chen Yuan.
After the chair is finished and placed in front of everyone, it is difficult to express the excitement of the work born from my own hands. Moreover, the chair looks good no matter how it looks, and the children will definitely like it when they see it.
When Dabao and Erbao came home from school, the first thing they saw was that the old desks and chairs had been replaced!
And the new tables and chairs look completely different from the old ones.
There is a thick layer of sofa cushions on the chairs of the new tables and chairs, the texture is soft, and the buttocks are very comfortable to sit on.
Dabao's eyes were stunned, and he reached out his hand to touch the table curiously. He found a switch on the leg of the table, stretched out his hand and pressed it hard, and suddenly there was a clicking sound at the place where the leg of the table was connected to the table.
The children were startled by the sound.
Looking at this multifunctional tabletop and table legs, the two parts are perfectly separated, and the whole table is not one piece
Er Bao didn't understand the connotation, but panicked and anxiously said beside him: "Oops, brother, why did you break the new table and chairs."
