Zhang Junping practiced calligraphy for a while, and then practiced landscape painting on the stone table.
Not to mention, painting landscape paintings on a stone table, between hooking, chapping, dotting and dyeing, has a special charm in it.
It's a pity that it's summer now. Zhang Junping used clear water to paint on the stone table, but the water will soon disappear due to evaporation.
However, this does not affect Zhang Junping's mood for painting. Water evaporates quickly, so practice fast painting.
The brush moves like a dragon and a snake, hooking, chapping, and dotting. The brush moves like flying, outlining mountains one after another.
It wasn't until the old lady woke up from her nap that Zhang Junping started making folding chairs again.
In the next few days, Zhang Junping lived a fulfilling and leisurely life.
Every day I go to school during the day and the old lady's studio studies the restoration of ancient furniture from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and comes back at night to make folding chairs for sale.
I don't earn much every day, only five or six yuan.
During this period, I went out to get two carts of old wood.
They are all old door frames and old window frames that were dismantled from people's construction sites.
There were also beams and other things, but Zhang Junping thought it was too troublesome and expensive to open and untie the wooden boards, so he didn't want them.
Old door frames and old window frames, which in other people's eyes may be used as cooking materials, can be turned into exquisite folding chairs in Zhang Junping's hands.
Therefore, there is no useless wood, only useless carpenters.
A few days later, Zhang Junping ran out of wood again.
I processed the last bit of wood I had into a mat, and used the packaging tape I found at the junkyard to tie it on.
Zhang Junping patted Mazar, stretched, and finally finished!
He is planning to end his business of making folding chairs and stop working after selling the folding chairs and mats tomorrow.
In one week, Zhang Junping saved a huge sum of fifty yuan.
The average salary in Beijing is 60 yuan, but after countless people are averaged out, the real monthly salary of many people is only 30 yuan.
Fifty yuan is more than most people's monthly salary, but it only took Zhang Junping a week.
It’s not that folding chairs don’t make money, folding chairs are still popular, but Zhang Junping is no longer satisfied with making three to five yuan a day by making folding chairs.
It's not that Zhang Junping is too distracted and can't stand the high income of 200 yuan a month, but that he has a better choice.
This starts from a few days ago. A few days ago, he used his poor English to sell a folding chair and got a one-yuan foreign exchange coupon.
Listening to the foreigner's very good words, Zhang Junping's mind became active.
yes!
Chinese people cannot afford to consume their own wood carvings for the time being, but foreigners can!
Zhang Junping once read a report in his previous life that in the 1980s, there was a gray industrial chain.
Some people buy various antiques at low prices in China and then resell them abroad through some channels.
A small-leaf red sandalwood chair only costs a hundred and ten yuan in China, but can be sold for tens of thousands of dollars abroad.
Famous cultural relic experts, scholars, cultural relic connoisseurs, collectors, researchers of the Chinese Cultural Heritage Research Institute of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, and librarians of the Central Research Institute of Literature and History, Wang Shixiang and Wang Lao, worked hard to create "Research on Ming Style Furniture", but later they often talked about "Ming Style Furniture"
"Research on Modern Furniture", Wang Lao would cry and say that he was a sinner of the country and the nation.
Because the book "Research on Ming-style Furniture" he created has actually become a guide for cultural relic dealers to resell antique furniture abroad, and has also become a collection guide for foreign collectors.
The price of any Ming Dynasty antique furniture included in his book has increased several times.
I really can’t blame Mr. Wang Shixiang for this. In this era, people still don’t have a clear understanding of antiques.
Even the country regards antiques and cultural relics as important resources for exporting and earning foreign exchange.
Such as Friendship Store.
The Friendship Store is specially opened for foreign friends. It only accepts foreign exchange coupons. There are a large number of exquisite antiques for sale in the Friendship Store.
Going too far, Zhang Junping would never do that kind of thing like reselling antique cultural relics.
He plans to sell the handicrafts he carved and made to foreigners.
I imagine that my wood carvings will be loved by foreigners, they will collect them at high prices, earn a lot of foreign exchange, reach the pinnacle of life, and marry Bai Fumei...
Zhang Junping fell into sleep.
In the dream, beauties with long legs and black stockings were crying and shouting that they wanted to marry him and give him monkeys.
Just when Zhang Junping climbed over the mountain and was about to fetch water from the dark canyon, the straight black beauty suddenly turned into a skeleton, which frightened Zhang Junping and woke him up from his sleep.
Wiped the sweat on his forehead.
Zhang Junping got up and drank a cup of cold water before calming down.
Sure enough, beauties and everything are all red and pink skulls, but they are still fun!
It becomes whatever you want it to be!
Whatever pose makes you happy, that’s the pose!
With a knife in hand, I have the world!
Early the next morning, after breakfast, Zhang Junping took the folding chair he had made overtime to Dashilan as usual.
Today, Zhang Junping is quite famous in Dashilan, and everyone knows that there is a young man who sells folding chairs.
His folding chairs are made with old craftsmanship, without using a single nail or a trace of glue, but they are very beautiful and strong.
I had just arrived at Dashilan, and before I could stand still, all the folding chairs I was wearing were sold out.
"Little comrade, why are there only so many?"
"Any more?"
"Can't you make a few more?"
Those familiar words made Zhang Junping embarrassed to tell them that he wouldn't be coming tomorrow.
After selling the folding chairs, Zhang Junping went to the accessories company and bought two inner and outer tires, a car seat, and a car bell.
The fun of riding a bicycle lies in the bell. When riding on the road, when you meet an acquaintance, you press the bell, and the ringing sound is clear.
This is just like the people in later generations who bought a new car and walked on the road, hoping to meet an acquaintance and honk the horn, then lower the window and say hello to the other person.
Two words, show it off!
Back at his residence, Zhang Junping quickly replaced the inner and outer tires, installed the car seat and bell, and then said hello to the old lady.
Leaving the alley with a string of crisp ringtones.
Along the way, cheerful bells rang from time to time.
I think back then, I was the owner of a BMW after all, but now I am riding an old bicycle that I assembled and pieced together, and I am actually a little excited.
With the cheerful ringtone, I rode the wind and waves all the way to Central America.
"Xiao Zhang bought a bicycle?" The guard saw Zhang Junping and greeted him with a smile.
These days, Zhang Junping comes to school every day and has become familiar with the guard.
Anyone who can be a doorman is a discerning person.
I know that Zhang Junping has a good relationship with the department chair, and he can go to the department chair's studio to study during summer vacation.
Naturally, he looked at him differently.
“I bought an old one and repaired it myself!
Uncle Wang, you are on duty today!" Zhang Junping stopped the car and greeted the guard, Uncle Wang.
Don't underestimate the doormen, especially the old doormen in the 1980s. They are not simple.
