Chapter 132 Making Planks
Then, Ji Shan went door to door and asked, and finally found twenty young and strong men who could start to work on Ye Guoguo and Ji Jingbai tomorrow.
Ye Guoguo and Ji Jingbai came out of uncle's house, but did not rush to go home, but went to find Carpenter Yao.
For this woodblock printing, you must first have a wooden board to engrave the reverse characters on the wooden board, and then apply ink to print.
So, of course, this first step is to find someone to make wooden boards. Ye Guoguo thought of Carpenter Yao in the village and asked Carpenter Yao to make the wooden boards, but Ji Jingbai had no objection.
Carpenter Yao is very rough and rough. He speaks thicker, but he is very good at being a good person and has a good craftsmanship. Although the things he makes are very ordinary, they are all very strong and durable.
Furthermore, this wooden board does not require too high technical content, so Ye Guoguo will naturally not let others go far to make it.
At this moment, Carpenter Yao was in a panic.
In the past month, except for Ji Jingbai who bought a carriage and two kang tables, he basically had no business.
To be precise, he has not had much business in recent years.
When he first started working as a carpenter, his business was still very good because there was no carpenter in the village. However, over time, the villagers had to work with him for everything they should do. A small table and chair could be used for many years, so his business naturally gradually got worse.
He doesn't know how to do any complicated things, they are just very simple furniture styles, otherwise, it would be better for him to send the things he made to the town to sell.
The carpenter in the town looks much better than him. Even the simplest style is carved with flowers, and it is almost the same as his price.
Fortunately, the business was good at the beginning and he accumulated some money. Otherwise, the business would be so bad, and the family only had acre of land, so where could his family go?
But there are always times when the accumulated money is used up, and the business has never shown any sign of better. Anyway, Carpenter Yao can be so upset that he is bald every day.
Sitting in the yard, idle and annoyed, suddenly seeing Ji Jingbai holding Ye Guoguo, he immediately stood up happily, rubbed his hands and strode over: "Jingbai, Jingbai's wife, are you going to make something?"
"Ye Guoguo nodded.
Carpenter Yao was even more happy: "What are you going to do?"
Ye Guoguo: "The wooden board is like this size." She took out a piece of paper the same size as the book to be printed at home.
Then, I talked about the thickness again.
He asked: "Uncle Yao, can you do it?"
"Of course it can be done! What do you want to do with such a wooden board? Do you use it as a cutting board? It's too small." said Carpenter Yao.
Ye Guoguo scratched her head with her hands: "Uncle, if you can do it, just help me do it."
It is clear that I don’t say what this wooden board is for.
"Okay, I'll make it for you." Carpenter Yao was also happy. "I'll make such a small board in a while, and it doesn't cost much wood. You don't have to give me money. Last time your family bought a carriage from me, I didn't even give you a small stool. I just thought it was my gift to you."
"No, uncle, I want to make 20,000 yuan." Ye Guoguo said quickly.
"What?" Carpenter Yao took out his ears and thought he had heard it wrong.
Yeguoguo: "I want to make 20,000 yuan for a wooden board like this."
This piece of wood is equivalent to one page of paper, with so many pages of a book, and so many books, and I will buy other books in the future. The total number of pages is more. 20,000 wooden boards are not necessarily enough. Anyway, I will do 20,000 first, and then I will do it if I have fewer ones in the future.
