In the next few days, Zhu Hansan was in charge of sketching, Zhang Liao was in charge of carving, and the other guys either came to help with polishing or were responsible for other small pieces. Everyone was very busy. As the saying goes, once a child learns twice, he made the first tabletop that Zhang Liao used.
Three days, the second one only took one and a half days, and the others just half a day. After the rough outline was worked out, Zhu Hansan went to refine the pattern, working day and night without sleep and food for several days. It really took a few of them to complete five sets of Eight Immortals tables.
Although the pattern was a bit rough and the workmanship was not meticulous, Zhu Hansan was short on time and there was nothing he could do. Fortunately, he had a lot of spare parts for the Eight Immortals Table in stock, otherwise he would not have been able to get them out.
To be honest, Zhu Hansan really wanted to thank the five families at this time. The intense work for several days reminded him of the assembly line work method. These five sets of furniture were all assembled, and the joints were fixed with nails.
From a distance, it really looks like that, but when you walk in, it's a bit uneven. But fortunately, there is also something like tree paint. Zhu Hansan used some dark red dye and added it to the mixture and stirred it.
Apply it evenly and it will look like that.
Finally, the day came to deliver the furniture. Li Hu and others arrived as scheduled, and the five families came together. Before anyone arrived, Zhu Hansan heard Li Hu's loud voice. "Haha...Brother Zhu, that's what I ordered."
Where are the tables and chairs?”
"What Brother Li wants, I have to get it for you even if I don't eat or sleep. It's all in the yard!"
Zhu Hansan led everyone to the inner courtyard and saw five sets of furniture placed there.
"Tsk, tsk, Brother Zhu is really good at craftsmanship! This carving is amazing!"
Li Hu was a rough man. He stared at the table for a long time and couldn't tell that he was ugly. In the end, he could only give a thumbs up and praise bitterly.
"This appearance seems a little different from that of my third lady!"
Butler Zhang was the second to step forward. After looking at it carefully, he said to Zhu Hansan with a half-smile but not a smile.
"Butler Zhang, you are a little bit dismissive of the villain. The villain is not a god, how can he be exactly the same?"
Zhu Hansan smiled, but in his heart he scolded this old and immortal ancestor from the 18th generation. To be honest, he hates this kind of duplicitous person the most, although he is also such a person. Haha, he can treat others, but he can't do it to others.
You can't do it yourself.
"Tsk, tsk, this carver is so different from the third lady's. You dare to charge us 150,000 yuan for a set? Do you really think it's easy to fool us?"
Ma Yuan, the housekeeper of Ma Mansion, still had some eyesight. After careful observation, he could see the roughness of these tables and chairs, so he put his hands behind his back and prepared to attack the enemy.
"Yes, this money is not worth spending!"
People from the Duan family were more direct. They crossed their arms with their chests as soon as they came in and didn't even look at the furniture. After hearing Ma Yuan's words, they sneered: "If shopkeeper Zhu doesn't give us an explanation, we can't explain it."
I’m going to the Yamen to see the county magistrate for his review!”
"Speaking of the County Lord, I just remembered something. I heard that the County Lord sent someone to ask for a set of dragon and phoenix tables and chairs a few days ago, but he was told that it would take half a month to get it. Now Shopkeeper Zhu can actually get it in just a few days.
Just make five sets. If this comes to the ears of the county magistrate, he will probably be angry!"
Wang Fu was short and fat, with a pair of mustaches that made him even more comical, but his light words made Zhu Han feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He didn't know how to answer. The scene fell silent, and everyone else was unprepared.

Looking at Zhu Hansan kindly, even Zhang Liao looked at him with a worried look.
"Haha, Butler Wang is joking. I heard that some of my family members passed their birthdays, so I worked overtime to make it. I naturally take it to heart that the county magistrate wants the furniture."
If there was a knife at this moment, Zhu Hansan would have wanted to go up and give this fat guy a few blows, secretly thinking that this guy really knows how to find trouble.
"Oh, the Lord County Lord still made a reservation in front of us and other aristocratic families. Now he has not used it, but he asked us and other aristocratic families to be the first to use it. If this spreads out, who can bear this responsibility?"
Wang Fu turned his head and glanced at the other people, shouting angrily.
"Even though I don't dare to use it first."
"I don't dare either!"
"You don't dare, how can I dare?"
Several people came together to make things difficult for Zhu Hansan. As soon as Wang Fu finished speaking, they began to echo him.
"In that case, why don't you guys wait a few more days and come back to pick up the furniture after I've finished it?"
This kind of thing may be big or small in modern times, but in this era, it is really a big sin. Zhu Hansan thought about it and gritted his teeth and said.
"It's not impossible, but it's written clearly in black and white. Every time the date exceeds one day, Shopkeeper Zhu will pay us a compensation of one thousand yuan per day. I just don't know how many days it will take Shopkeeper Zhu to drive away the furniture of the County Lord."
Make it?"
Wang Fu pinched his orchid finger, nodded at Queen Zhu Han, and said with a sweet smile.
‘Eh!’
Not to mention Zhu Hansan in front of him, even the people around him looked disgusted. Li Hu even took a few steps to the side, not daring to line up with this hermaphrodite.
"Since we have an agreement, I am willing to pay the overdue compensation. Please come back!"
Zhu Hansan resisted the urge to beat Wang Fu violently and gritted his teeth.
"Okay, let's go back first! Anyway, the things are already done, and it won't be short of the three days and five days. There is still money to be made, so why not do it!"
Wang Fuxi smiled broadly. What he was waiting for was Zhu Hansan's words. He turned around and smiled at the other people.
"In that case, I'll take my leave!"
The other people all looked at Zhu Hansan with an indifferent expression, then turned and left.
"Boss, as long as you say a word, I will beat them up tonight."
The good-tempered Zhang Liao couldn't stand listening for a long time. After everyone left, he said angrily.
"Alas, what a bunch of clowns are worth mentioning. What really worries me is the county magistrate, Liu Yao."
Since opening this shop, although the business has been good and he has made some money, it has made him a fish on the chopping board of the big guys, and he can do whatever he wants. During this period, Wang Wu no longer
appeared, Zhu Hansan also went to the Yamen several times to find him, but Wang Wu used various excuses to shirk him. At this time, he felt really tired, so he sat on the stone bench and sighed: "That Liu Yao is Anping
If Wang Liuxu's people are angry, let alone our small Chenxiang Pavilion, even Jingxian County will be shocked. Those are the real people in power and the powerful ones."
"Then we can only let them slaughter us?"
Zhang Liao was not convinced and asked with his fists clenched.
"What can I do if I'm not convinced? People have power, money, and
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
There are people in this land who are deeply rooted in this county. How can we shake them? We are not as strong as others. No matter how aggrieved we are, we can only endure it!"
Zhu Hansan's eyes flashed with coldness. He was not a good boy to begin with. People bullied him like this. At least he had to retaliate. He turned to look at Zhang Liao and said bitterly: "Wen Yuan, the world is not peaceful these days.
You said that the sudden appearance of several thieves in this city is quite reasonable, right?"
"Boss, have you figured it out?"
Zhang Liao's face lit up with joy and he said with a smile: "Let me just say, those people eat meat but don't spit out the bones. They usually act arrogantly and bully the people. We can be regarded as doing justice for God. You say, we
How to do it?"
"Then take a few brothers you trust and go out for a walk at night. They ask us to compensate. Okay, then we will just go and rob them to compensate them. Remember, enough is enough, and no one can be killed.
.”
Zhu Hansan looked like a ruffian and adhered to the principle that if the front is too strong, then we will resort to evil methods. Anyway, we can't suffer the loss ourselves.
"Okay, boss, just watch it!"
Zhang Liao grinned, turned around and went down to prepare.
However, Zhu Hansan still underestimated Wang Lun, who was now reporting the matter to Liu Yao in Liu Yao's study.
"Then the shopkeeper of Chenxiang Pavilion really did this?"
Liu Yao was over forty years old and the city was very deep, otherwise he would not have been appointed by King Anping to be the magistrate of this county. After listening to Wang Lun's words, Liu Yao did not immediately get angry, but just confirmed again with a deep expression.
"Is there any lie in this matter? Those five sets of furniture are placed in the inner courtyard of Chenxiang Pavilion. If you don't believe it, you can go and have a look for yourself. Let me tell you, Zhu Hansan is still a money-minded person. How can we?
If your family gives you money, you will help us do it first. If you don’t give me money, my lord, you will have to postpone it. In this Jingxian County, you have the final say. What Zhu Hansan did is, to put it bluntly, he doesn’t take you seriously.
!”
Wang Lun shook his feather fan lightly, and although his words were soft, he was heart-breaking every word, making Zhu Hansan worthless inside and out.
"Oh? Recently, the people in the city have said that Shopkeeper Zhu is a great philanthropist who helps the poor from time to time. This seems to be somewhat different from what the Royal Lord Bo You said!"
Liu Yao sneered, glanced at Wang Lunhou, and said unhurriedly.
How many people who can achieve the title of a county are idiots? Although the oppression of the people is due to different classes, how could Liu Yao, who was also from a noble family, not see the little Jiujiu in Wang Lun's heart?
"As the saying goes, what you hear is false, and what you see is true. You might as well go and have a real experience, so as to confirm the truth in the public opinion."
Looking at Liu Yao's eyes full of meaning, Wang Lun quickly bowed and replied.
"In that case, I will personally visit the Agarwood Pavilion to see if it is really as rumored!"
Liu Yao nodded slightly. In his opinion, he was the emperor of Jingxian County. If Zhu Hansan really made their tables and chairs first and pushed his own as Wang Lun said, Liu Yao wouldn't mind letting this Agarwood
The pavilion is closed. As the saying goes, a person lives for a breath and a tree fights for a skin. He represents the face of the Anping Palace. How can he let the common people and despicable businessmen tease him?
After what happened to Wang Fu and the others, Zhu Hansan lost his mood and went to the city alone to wander around. When passing by Calabash Alley, he saw a group of people gathered around Li Shucai's stall and pointed. Out of curiosity, Zhu Hansan followed suit.
