When he arrived at the furniture factory, Zhang Junping first extracted half of the structural components from the furniture drawings, redrawn the drawings, and marked the quantities on them.
We made an agreement with Factory Manager Li yesterday. Factory Manager Li will come over later to sign the processing contract and get the drawings.
After finishing the drawing, Zhang Junping took out the fence panels processed yesterday and began to draw lines on them.
It turns out that the fence board on the canopy bed is surrounded by hollow carvings with patterns of carps emerging from the water, which symbolizes the beautiful meaning of carps leaping over the dragon's gate.
There is a silver inlaid pattern in the middle, and the flowers are blooming and rich.
Hollow carving the pattern of carp out of the water on the wooden board is quite complex and requires very high carving skills.
Even Zhang Junping did not dare to enlarge the work and directly blindly carve it. Instead, he first drew a large drawing on the wooden board.
After a busy day, Zhang Junping was able to finish carving the hollow patterns on the two fence panels.
Of course, there was a little delay in signing the processing contract with Director Li and delivering the drawings.
Just like that, Zhang Junping's hand speed once again shocked Master Du, Zhao Jiazhu and other masters from ear to ear. They were astonished.
They have worked as carpenters all their lives, but their hands are not fast enough to carve two fence panels in one day.
You know, this fence board has a pattern of four carps coming out of the water, and the two fence boards have a pattern of eight carps coming out of the water.
Even at their peak, could they finish carving two fence panels in one day?
It seems impossible. The most I can do is complete the carving of a fence panel.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed that someone could be so fast. It seemed like they didn't need to think at all. The chisel and carving knife in their hands moved quickly and crisply, without any fear of making mistakes.
"Director Zhang, your carving skills are amazing!"
"Yes, not only is it fast, but the carving is also good, the knife skills are exquisite, and the figures carved are lifelike and lifelike."
“Young Master’s family has a successor!”
"As expected of the young master's disciple..."
"Master Du, Master Zhao, you praise me, I'm still far behind."
Facing the compliments and compliments from Master Du and others, Zhang Junping shook his head in dissatisfaction.
It's not that he is dissatisfied with the carved graphics. To put it bluntly, the carp-out-of-water pattern he carved is no worse than the carving of the original canopy bed. It's even worse.
Zhang Junping is dissatisfied because he is dissatisfied with the speed.
The efficiency of hand tools is still not good, but with the help of electric tools, he can complete the hollow carving of all five fence panels in one day.
Now carving relies entirely on the strength of his hands. Even Zhang Junping feels that he has become much stronger after traveling through time. At the end of the day, his hands are unbearably sore and swollen.
"We are not flattering. We have been doing carpentry work all our lives, and we have never seen anyone work faster than Director Zhang. The key is that Director Zhang is quick and not messy, and uses just the right amount of force with every cut."
"Yeah, not to mention the speed, this carving skill alone can only be achieved by me in my forties."
"Okay, please stop praising the masters. I'm almost floating. Let's clean up and go to eat." Zhang Junping interrupted the compliments of Master Du and others with a smile.
Although these compliments and praises sounded very pleasant, he had to interrupt. If he continued, he would delay his meal.
…
When he arrived at the Liulichang West Street Restaurant, Zhang Junping saw that the food was the same as before, "Manager Wang, you stew vermicelli with pork and cabbage every day. Although it tastes good, you always get tired of eating the same dish after a long time!"
Can’t we try something new?”
"Director Zhang, I also want to change, but in this winter, there are no other vegetables except cabbage and radish, right?" Manager Wang explained with a wry smile.
From the furniture factory business, their restaurant really made a lot of money. At the street meeting a few days ago, the secretary praised him by name.
But the problem is that the young factory director in front of me is too mouthy, and the other workers have nothing to eat and the food is delicious. However, this young factory director either has insufficient oil or lacks meat, and he has to give advice every day.
If he hadn't planned to contract this hotel and was unwilling to lose Zhang Junping as a customer, he would have fallen out with him long ago.
"Why not? You can make fried tofu with green onions, or you can buy some soybeans, mung beans, and sprout some bean sprouts?"
If that doesn't work, you can fry radish balls with radish and stew the radish balls with cabbage. It will taste delicious!" Zhang Junping said still dissatisfied.
"Okay, since Director Zhang said it, let me go back and tell the masters in the kitchen to do something different." Manager Wang agreed with a smile.
"Also, breakfast in the morning is too monotonous. Instead of tea with bean juice and burnt ring noodles all day long, you can also make some chicken noodle soup and steam some steamed buns.
It doesn’t mean that you should do so many things every day, but that you should change things every one or two days.
On this cold day, buy some mutton bones and beef bones, stew them at night, and in the morning get some mutton, beef, vermicelli and cabbage and put them in. Isn't this just ready-made mutton soup and beef soup, paired with spicy pepper, and it will be warm to eat.
I feel energetic working all day long.”
"Okay, tomorrow I will cook mutton soup for everyone and buy some water chestnut pancakes." Manager Wang nodded and agreed.
"That's right, don't forget to get some shredded pickles!" Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"You have a lot of things to do. I think this dish is quite good. What can you eat without cabbage in the winter?" the eldest lady scolded in a low voice.
"Sister, you don't understand. I'm not complaining about the food, I'm trying to beat him up.
Give him advice from time to time so that he doesn't dare to fool us when cooking." Zhang Junping explained in a low voice with a smile.
"Only you can!" The eldest sister rolled her eyes at Zhang Junping and stopped talking.
"Niuniu, Nini, tell your uncle what you want to eat." Zhang Junping picked two pieces of lean meat from the bowl and put them into his niece's bowl.
"Uncle, I want to eat meat!"
"I want to eat...eat...apples!"
"Haha, okay! Let's eat ribs at noon tomorrow, and uncle will buy you a big apple to eat later!" Zhang Junping agreed with a doting smile.
Then he shouted to Manager Wang who was about to leave: "Manager Wang, please improve the food at noon tomorrow and braise pork ribs with winter melon!"
"Stewed pork ribs? Okay, no problem, I'll braise pork ribs for everyone at noon tomorrow!" Manager Wang readily agreed.
In this era, pork ribs are not easy to sell. Everyone thinks that the ribs have no meat and are unwilling to buy them. The best-selling pork belly is pork belly.
Therefore, winter melon braised pork ribs will not increase the cost much.
"Just spoil them. I don't dare to talk about them now. When I talk about them, I cry and look for my uncle.
If this continues, I might as well give you the child, I don’t want it anymore,” the eldest sister said angrily.
"Okay, as long as the eldest brother-in-law has no objection, give it to me." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"You think so, you want to have a child on your own!
Do it! Eat your food!" Seeing the two girls' faces beaming with joy, they jumped down from their stools and approached Zhang Junping. The eldest sister's face turned pale with anger.
"Hahaha..." Zhang Junping laughed unscrupulously, picked up his two nieces and kissed them.
