Chapter 189 The sense of ritual is also very important
Chen Ming got up early in the morning and was like calling Chen Min'an. Later, he thought that if the table and chairs couldn't be fully equipped, it would be embarrassing to throw them to grandma's house. So he decided not to tell anyone. He would wait until the table and chairs were installed before talking. After all, he had not mastered his skills and lacked confidence.
I had to go to the sports rehabilitation center for half a day in the morning. Now the number of patients who have been seeing the doctor has returned to normal, so Chen Ming went home early.
"Doctor Chen, Ma Guangyong can be discharged from the hospital today. Do you want to give him a review?" Wu Yuming reminded him.
"Just let him be discharged from the hospital, what should I do?" Chen Ming said.
When Chen Ming was speaking, Ma Guangyong was listening, which was a bit uncomfortable. I spent much more money than the villagers went to your doctor. Villagers, you can change the medicine and remove the clips. When you come to me, you will not turn it off after you finish the exam.
When Ma Guangyong wanted to go out and say something to Chen Ming, Chen Ming was gone. He rushed back and put on the set of Eight Immortals Tables and Eight Master Chairs.
The main thing is that I am not sure, the more anxious I am to see if I have done it well. If I am sure, I will not be so anxious.
Chen Ming used a unique craft to make this set of Eight Immortals table and Taishi Chair. All the accessories were installed at one time, so it was not so easy to remove them. If Baman took them off, it would be likely to destroy the accessories.
Carefully splice the wood one by one, then cover the table top, and after setting the hole, put a wooden board on the table, and gently tap the four corners of the table with an axe in order. The wooden tenons of the four wooden table feet accurately fit into the grooves of the table.
It is not bad at all, and the tabletop is covered with silky silk on the wooden tenon at the foot of the table, and it is stable and there is almost no gap at the junction.
The table was swayed to the ground, steadily and elegantly styled. Although the carvings on it were a little immature, they looked quite exquisite. They were much better than the shaking Eight Immortals Table passed down by Mr. Chen.
"I'd like to call Min'an here for a long time." Chen Ming felt that putting the table in secret was like walking in a brocade dress at night, without the sense of ritual and refreshing feeling at all. Oh, I was wrong.
Chen Ming picked up the phone and was about to dial it out, but thinking about the eight Grand Master Chairs had not been installed yet. If there was one that could not be put together, wouldn’t it be a joke for Chen Min’an?
Although the chair seems smaller than the table, it is actually more difficult. The table is square and large in size, but the process is not complicated. However, the chairs are different. The armrests on both sides and the backrest behind are all curved. If there is a slight mistake, it may not be installed.
Although Chen Ming was made according to the craftsmanship in Lu Ban's book and the techniques introduced in the online video, he also strictly measured the size to ensure that the size is not wrong.
However, after all, it was the first time to make it, and Chen Ming was still not sure that he would successfully assemble the Taishi Chair, and there was no problem at all.
"Put on a chair first." Chen Ming started to move.
This is not the ordinary chair made by a carpenter in the countryside, but a handmade Taishi chair with relatively complex craftsmanship. To put it, the armrests are not glued together, but a whole log that is bent through special craftsmanship. The bend of the armrests of these eight chairs alone took Chen Ming's efforts. Several devices were specially made to bend logs. This is not a problem for a carpenter who can make irons.
Chen Ming first installed the feet of the chair and the surface of the chair, and then started to install the handrails. After installing several handrails, he aimed the entire handrail at the supported wooden tenon and patted it with his hand to accurately fit into the groove of the handrail.
Chen Ming checked it carefully, sat on it and tried it several times, and was very stable. Now he was very confident and he was really uncomfortable not to make a phone call.
He made calls to Chen Min'an and others one after another.
"Today I will install tables and chairs. You come to my house for dinner. I don't need to help, I have already installed half of them." Chen Ming really wanted to see the envious look of these people who saw their tables and chairs. Didn't I waste my time learning to be a carpenter? Let's see me, a carpenter, that's different.
Chen Min'an and others were also very curious. What did Chen Ming learn carpenter skills for so long?
Soon, they came to Chen Ming's house one by one. Now the road is built in the village, and travel is really convenient. Ma Yan has not bought a car yet, so he bought an electric car first. From the village headquarters to Chen Ming's place, it will be there in two or three minutes.
Chen Min'an bought a pickup truck to facilitate the loading of clay pots to ship. The online store business is doing well now and often needs to ship the goods. It is inconvenient to have no car.
Chen Yonggang bought a van, which is very suitable for him.
"Huh? You guys came very quickly." Chen Ming said.
"Now the road is open, ride a bike over and it will be there in two or three minutes." Ma Yan said.
"We drive faster. Ma Yan, please change your car quickly. You are a village cadre and riding an electric bike, which really makes us lose face in the teashu village." Chen Min'an quipped.
"Do you think I don't want it? The problem is that I didn't get the driver's license, and I didn't dare to drive after I bought a car." Ma Yan said angrily.
Ma Yan, the income of village cadres is not high, but the income of family farming is not low. It is definitely not worse than working outside.
"Doctor Chen, you should take a driver's license and buy a car now. You are also a special expert at the First Affiliated Hospital. You can't go anywhere, but you have to rely on two legs, right?" Chen Yonggang said.
"I have a horse at home!" Chen Ming said.
Several people smiled knowingly. Chen Ming really has a horse. But nowadays, who is still riding a horse out?
"Let's not talk about this for now, look at my desk and chair, how about it?" Chen Ming was so proud.
When Ma Yan saw the table and chairs, his eyes couldn't turn.
"Is this what you made? It's so beautiful, like an antique." Ma Yan walked over and touched the desktop with his hand. The desktop had not been polished finely, although it was not rough and not very smooth.
Chen Min'an's eyes also lit up: "I thought you made an ordinary Eight Immortals table. That kind of table is now eliminated. Your Eight Immortals table is so beautiful. Doctor Chen, why don't you help me make a set of it? Compared to you, the dining table I bought for seven or eight thousand yuan is simply invisible."
"Doctor Chen, why don't you help me make a whole set of furniture? I'll replace all the furniture at home." Chen Yonggang also said hurriedly.
"What are you thinking? I just invited you to dinner, but I'm not going to help you make furniture." Chen Ming would not agree. At that time, the whole village would come to call for furniture, and he would be exhausted to death.
While talking, Chen Ming was assembled one chair at a time, and no chair was wrong.
"Doctor Chen, you are so amazing. How long has it been? The carpenter's work has reached this level. How can you let other carpenters live?" Chen Min'an said.
"Now the city uses machinery to make furniture. No matter how carpenters live, I can't blame me." Chen Ming said.
"Speaking of this, this kind of classical old furniture is still good at looking. The modern European furniture looks quite eye-catching at the beginning. After looking at it for a long time, the uglier the more you look at it. This kind of old furniture looks better and better." Chen Yonggang looked at the pieces of furniture in Chen Ming's yard and couldn't put it down.
With the skill of assembly skills, the assembly speed naturally became faster. Chen Ming quickly assembled a complete set of tables and chairs. Fortunately, there was no mistake, and he did not make any mistakes in front of Chen Min'an and the others.
"Before, I said I wanted to build a wooden building. What did you say?" Chen Ming asked.
"Uh. We just worry that you have spent money and the building is crooked. I didn't expect that your craftsmanship will improve so quickly. It's like riding a rocket." Chen Yonggang smiled.
Su Moxi came a little later and there were more things to do in the village.
"Your set of tables and chairs are really ready. Unfortunately, it has not been painted yet. But it looks pretty good." Su Moxi was not shocked by the tables and chairs. After all, her own set of mahogany furniture at home, and the workmanship is even more exquisite than Chen Ming's set of furniture.
She was just surprised that Chen Ming's woodworking skills were improved so quickly that he could make such traditional solid wood furniture in such a short time.
Although this set of furniture is ready, it cannot be used. It is not painted and once it is dirty, it will be difficult to clean.
When painting, Chen Ming was not planning to buy the synthetic paint, but was preparing to find some natural paint handmade by traditional crafts online. He also used traditional crafts to paint the surface. The surface still needs to be polished.
Therefore, when you have dinner, you can only eat it on the somewhat ragged Eight Immortals table at Chen Ming’s house.
"Doctor Chen, do you really want to build a wooden building?" Su Moxi asked.
"Of course." Chen Ming nodded.
"Let me ask my friend to help you find some books on ancient architecture, and you can design it carefully. Since you want to build it, it is best to build a landmark building in Tea Tree Village." Su Moxi is also optimistic about Chen Ming's wooden building now. Moreover, once this wooden building is built, it will definitely become the most eye-catching landscape in Tea Tree Village.
"Then thank you first." Chen Ming said.
The tables and chairs made by Chen Ming are completely in accordance with the online plan. There are almost no changes. He mainly wants to improve his skills. But now it is almost impossible to build a wooden building. The ancient architecture books mentioned by Su Moxi are really what Chen Ming needs.
Such more professional books are simply impossible to buy in Donghua County. It is difficult for people who are not professionals to know what kind of books they are better to buy.
So in the next few days, Chen Ming was thinking about the problem of making natural paint.
But I didn't find any clues, so I had to turn to Su Moxi for help.
