Chapter 212 Furniture Most People Can't Afford
After making the rough embryo of the plaque, Zhang Junping directly took the carving knife and started to carve characters on it.
When a carpenter carves a pattern or text, the general process is to design and draw a sample first.
Then paste the sample on the wood, trace it on the wood, and finally do the carving.
Only a master carpenter, like Zhang Junping, can directly carve without designing a prototype or drawing a pattern on the wood.
In fact, there are also sample drafts, in my heart.
Have it in your heart and have it in your hand.
This is the so-called unity of mind, eye and hand.
Sawdust splashed, and large characters appeared on the plaque.
After a while, the four majestic characters of "Happy Furniture" were displayed on the plaque.
"Director Zhang, your carving skills are better than mine, an old carpenter who has been working for decades."
"Don't talk about you and me, I think it's better than Master Chu's sculpture."
"That's right! Although Master Chu can carve directly without drawing a pattern, he is definitely not as fast as Director Zhang."
"Does it need to be said? Director Zhang himself is a calligrapher, and what he carves are his own characters. Master Chu carves all other people's characters. Can this be the same?"
Master Du, Master Zhao and several other old masters complimented him beside him.
It's not flattery, it's sincere admiration, and I'm impressed by Zhang Junping's exquisite carving skills.
They have worked as carpenters all their lives, making and installing mortise and tenon structures, and carving, so they are proficient in everything.
However, if they are like Zhang Junping, they can't do it without designing a prototype, without drawing a pattern on the wood in advance, and directly engraving.
It's not absolutely impossible. There are many patterns, and they can carve directly without drawing patterns.
However, those are all patterns that have been carved for a lifetime, and they have already been thoroughly familiarized, and practice makes perfect.
Therefore, they were absolutely convinced by Zhang Junping's skills.
Then again, it's really hard for Master Du, a carpenter who has been dealing with wood all his life, to flatter him.
If they really know how to flatter, they won't be able to retire early and stay at home with superb carpentry skills.
"Master Du, who is the Master Chu you are talking about?" Zhang Junping didn't take their compliments to heart, but he was very interested in the Master Chu they were talking about.
"Master Chu is the master master of the woodware factory, the master carpenter in the woodware factory, he is this!" Master Zhao said and gave a thumbs up.
"Master Chu's hometown seems to be in Yuan City, but he has been in Beijing for more than 100 years. He moved to Beijing during the Qing Dynasty. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, he opened a woodware shop in Luban Hutong..."
"Master Chu is still working at the Beijing Carpentry Factory?"
"I have retired a long time ago. Master Chu is five years older than me. After retiring, he was rehired by the factory for a few years, and he completely retired the year before last."
"Master Du, can you invite Master Chu to our factory as a teacher and lead a group of apprentices.
Master Du and Master Zhao, don't get me wrong, I don't dislike you.
I told everyone before that our factory is going to expand again, and we will definitely recruit workers again.
Master Guangdu, you guys must be too busy, and you can't take so many carpenter apprentices.
This requires us to have more master carpenters, the more the better. "
"Let me ask for you. Master Chu is over 70 this year, so he may not be willing to come out." Master Du nodded in agreement.
"Okay then, I'll leave this matter to Master Du.
Please ask Master Du to polish this plaque.
I will take another couplet and hang it at the door. "
Zhang Junping made another wooden couplet.
Fortunately, gold, wood, water, fire, and earth are full of blessings, east, west, north, south, and middle.
The word happiness is hidden on the head.
After finishing this couplet, Zhang Junping made another couplet.
There is a pair of couplets in front, which are large couplets, hanging on the doorposts on both sides of the door.
Now I am making small couplets, which are hung on both sides of the door.
View here is not like a mortal place,
Looking at the furniture is like living in a happy home.
Zhang Junping made the couplets on the plaque in front of him. Master Du, Master Zhao and several other masters personally helped to polish, polish and wax.
Now that he did it once, Zhang Junping also made the plaque and couplets of the furniture factory in one breath.
Happy Furniture Factory.
Shengmo sets the rules, and the wardrobe and reclining chairs are called exquisite art;
Turning a ruler to measure the radius, carving a bed and painting a cabinet is called ingenuity.
After it was done well, it was naturally indispensable, and was praised by Master Du and others.
Even the carpenter apprentices showed expressions of envy.
I probably said in my heart that the boss is too powerful.
The carved characters are more beautiful than the written characters.
So beautiful, this is the real penetrating three points.
"Master Du, after this plaque is finished, just hang it at the gate outside.
I took this plaque and couplet away. "
Zhang Junping explained that he wrapped the polished and waxed plaques and couplets in linen cloth, and left the furniture factory on his shoulders.
Riding a bike with one hand and carrying a plaque with the other.
Fortunately, there were not many cars in this era, and the road was wobbly, and finally arrived at Qianmen Street safely.
"Brother-in-law, come and help hang up the plaque." Zhang Junping called the elder brother-in-law and a few apprentices to hang up the plaque and couplet together.
So far, it looks like a furniture store.
"Comrade, are you a furniture store?" Just as the plaque was hung, an aunt came to ask.
Why are there so many aunts? Because aunts retire early, and uncles of the same age are still dedicating their final brilliance in factories or units, so there are more aunts than uncles on the street.
"Yes, aunt, we are a furniture store!"
"How did you sell the furniture?"
"That depends on what you want, do you want a single piece or a complete set?
A complete set is more favorable than a single piece, a set of [-]. "
"What? One thousand and two sets of furniture? Are you robbing? It's really dark!" The aunt curled her lips, dropped a word, turned and left.
Zhang Junping was not given a chance to speak at all.
Looking at the back of the aunt going away, Zhang Junping seemed to see the scene of him setting up a stall in Dashilan half a year ago.
At that time, his woodcarving decorations sold for one yuan each, and this sentence was the most heard.
Zhang Junping is not upset either, his furniture itself is not positioned as civilian furniture.
Most people definitely cannot afford it and are reluctant to buy it.
What he wants is that most people can't afford it.
His goal is to be a luxury brand in the furniture industry.
Twelve thousand this year, two thousand next year, three thousand the year after, and five thousand the year after.
Ten years later, if you don't have 1 yuan, don't even think about buying his furniture.
Walking into the shop, Zhang Junping saw that the originally empty shop was already filled with furniture.
Furniture placement is also a science.
You can't just put the furniture out casually, you have to match the color and style.
There are more than 300 square meters downstairs, and three sets of furniture are placed, all of which are arranged according to home life.
Zhang Junping looked up, the lighting was a bit poor, the store was not bright enough, and the furniture looked a bit dull.
Still need a few more lights.
