Chapter 202 Ma Yan's family wants to open a restaurant
As soon as autumn begins, the weather in the mountains becomes colder. Chen Ming's house seems to be immersed in the thick white fog all day long. Even at noon, he can only see a little gray-black roof.
But when I arrived at Chen Ming's house, I couldn't feel any mist.
The yard is still full of wood and wood chips. Chen Ming’s family can consume not much wood chips every day, so they can only be stacked in the yard.
Chen Ming’s furniture already has an additional cabinet and a kitchen shelf, and a brand new microwave oven is placed on it.
In addition to the set of Eight Immortals Tables and Eight Taishi Chairs that were made before, there was an incense table, a coffee table and a solid wood initiative in the main room, which filled Chen Ming's living room.
There was no change in the room, the Linglong bed had not been made yet, and the desk, official hat and bookcase had not been completed.
Chen Ming threw the wood in his hand to the ground and stopped. The wood was not enough. He had long planned what board to make for based on the specifications of the wood. In this way, the wood here could no longer be made of furniture.
Chen Ming found Su Moxi again: "Can you buy wood online? My house has used up all the wood."
"You can buy it, but it is not recommended. The online price is opaque, and what you buy may not be your favorite. This is best to buy it at the wood market. Ordinary wood should be able to buy it locally, and high-end wood may be more troublesome." Su Moxi is not familiar with the wood market.
"I'll just buy some ordinary hardwood. I'll go to the county town tomorrow. If it really doesn't work, I'll consider buying it outside." Chen Ming said.
Chen Ming asked Ma Yan again, and this kind of thing might be more reliable for locals.
"What are you doing in the county? There are woods to buy in Daxipu. Our Daxi Township is a mountainous area, and Daxipu Forest Farm has certain logging indicators every year. You must not buy any mahogany, sandalwood, rosewood, etc., but when you buy ordinary hardwood, you must buy as much as you want. I will accompany you when you go to buy it." Ma Yan really knows these very well.
"I'm waiting to use it. Why don't you go today? Do you have time?" Chen Ming said.
"I'll talk to Secretary Su, wait for me. I'll drive over later." As soon as Ma Yan got his driver's license, he bought a Great Wall pickup truck.
The salary of village cadres is not high, which is equivalent to part-time work. There are usually other work at home, otherwise they really can't support the whole family. Therefore, their work is generally more flexible. After completing all the things they should do every day, they can do their own things. When there are too many things, they can also take the work home.
"Drive slowly." As soon as you get in the car, Chen Ming reminded Ma Yan.
"The road is so easy now, and I dare to drive without a driver's license. In fact, it's easy to drive. You went to learn that day. Now, it's really inconvenient to go without a car. The road in our village is so good, it's a pity not to buy a car." Ma Yan's movements were chic, excited, and nervous. He held the steering wheel tightly with both hands, and he was a novice at first glance.
The road was ready, and the speed was indeed fast. In about ten minutes, the two of them arrived at a timber station in Daxipu.
"In the past, the timber station at Daxipu Forest Farm was too good to have business, and it was full of wood. Now, no wood is used to build houses, and furniture is used to buy ready-made boards. Daxipu Forest Farm cannot be built here. Now it is not allowed to cut down trees at will, even if it is a small fuss." Ma Yan parked the car casually in the open space in the timber station.
The two of them walked around the timber station, but they didn't see anyone coming to greet him.
The wood station is full of ordinary materials, and Chen Ming also needs hardwood wood suitable for furniture.
"There is no business here, so I want to buy wood and find someone inside." Ma Yan led the way to an old bungalow at the timber station.
There were several people playing cards inside. When they saw Chen Ming and Ma Yan in, they looked up and looked up: "Do you two bosses want to buy wood?"
"Well, I need to buy some wood to make furniture." Chen Ming nodded.
"If you want ordinary wood, or better wood?" the man asked.
"Do you have Lihuamu here?" Ma Yan asked.
The man shook his head: "How is it possible? I also put the pear blossom trees in big cities to sell them. Who can afford the Daxipu to buy that kind of material?"
"Is there any sandalwood?" Ma Yan asked again.
"Brother, are you here to tease me?" The man was not annoyed and threw a cigarette for Ma Yan and Chen Ming.
"Then do you want ordinary wood or better wood? I ask if you have rosewood, and you said no, then what do you say is better wood?" Ma Yan smiled.
"There is no rosewood, but there are still materials such as old elm. The furniture produced is no worse than that of rosewood. Rosewood is a name." The man said.
"If you need some hardwood to make furniture, old elm wood is fine," Chen Ming said.
Ma Yan hurriedly said, "You have to give a affordable price. This is the most powerful carpenter in our Daxi Shop. We are going to build a wooden building next year, and we need a lot of wood. If you are greedy this time, you will not come here next time."
"Don't worry, it's the most affordable price." The man promised.
Chen Ming didn't know whether the price was expensive or not, but Ma Yan was very smart. Before he came in, he had already called several times to ask about the market. He knew whether the price offered by this man at the timber station was high.
"This is the wood in the farm. Now some can be sold. I will definitely give you the lowest price in the county. In the future, we will be more and more strict in management, and our cutting indicators will be less and less. Maybe it will be the last batch. If you need it, it will be very cost-effective to buy them all." The man said.
Life in Daxipu Forest Farm is getting harder and harder, and this batch of wood has been backlogged for a long time. It is a little bit to sell.
Chen Ming and Ma Yan had just seen the condition of the wood outside. Although it had been stacked for a long time, the wood itself was not very problematic. There was no problem with the furniture being used.
"If you buy all the hardwoods here, how much will the price be discounted?" Ma Yan asked.
"Brother, you are such a ruthless person. You are a good person. I have already offered the offer to the end." The man said with a sad face.
"I know, but your pile of people here has been almost half a year. Maybe they have already started to decay." Ma Yan said.
"Not half a year, only one or two months." The man felt a little guilty.
"One or two months? I saw you dragging this batch of wood from the mountains. To be honest, the good materials have been picked up by others long ago, otherwise they would not have been put here for half a year. If I missed this time, I am afraid I can only make firewood. By the way, you can use it to burn charcoal in winter." Ma Yan said.
Ma Yan's mouth was really poisonous. The man's mouth twitched. There was such a plan in the field. If this batch of wood could not be sold and the weather was getting colder, he would prepare to open a kiln to burn charcoal.
No matter how cold the weather is, the price of charcoal cannot be sold at the price of wood.
Ma Yan took the opportunity to cut the price down a lot.
"Brother Ma Yan, why did I buy so much wood to go back?" Chen Ming asked when he paid the money and asked the car to drag it back.
"It's cheaper. It's at least half cheaper than usual. If you buy less, you may spend almost the same amount of money. Why not buy them all. Didn't you say you made a chair for me? I'm afraid that you will say that there will be poor wood in the end, and this time there will definitely be no poor wood." Ma Yan smiled.
Although the wood is piled up like this, it seems that there are not many wood here, and when it is moved back, Chen Ming’s yard will definitely not be piled up.
Finally, he ordered a large truck and drove the wood back. As expected, Chen Ming's yard could not be piled up, so he could only pile it on the side of the road for the time being.
When Ma Yan returned to the village, he brags about how much money he saved Chen Ming.
Chen Ming was also happy, saving a lot of money, but there are so many sets of whole furniture made of this wood. Could it be that it is really sold for furniture?
"It is impossible to sell furniture. If there is too much wood, use it to repair the wooden house. Replace all the things that can be replaced. This batch of wood can almost be digested. If there is no material left at that time, will Ma Yan's Taishi chair be postponed indefinitely?
With sufficient wood, Chen Ming was naturally busy and fulfilling every day. The furniture in the house was gradually replaced with new ones, and many other things that were not before were added.
If it weren't for some things, Chen Ming might not have taken the risk of divination and yin techniques in his life.
The ancestor has not appeared in Chen Ming's life for a long time, and he has not come out to supervise Chen Ming's daily homework and practice. Fortunately, Chen Ming has already formed a habit of not having to supervise and can complete his homework spontaneously every day.
After the road was built, Chashu Village became more and more lively. There were many more tourists from other places driving by themselves in the village.
The boy from the Ma Yan family is only a few months old and is very tangled. But Ma Yan's wife Chen Xiuhe is a woman who can't stay idle. Others' families are getting more and more prosperous, so how can she sit still? Chen Xiuhe is good at craftsmanship, no worse than Ma Guangyong's wife Xiao Qingcui. Seeing the old tea tree restaurant in Ma Guangyong's family's business is booming every day. Chen Xiuhe is also eager to try it out.
She asked Ma Yan's parents to take her, and also dressed up her yard for a while and prepared to open a small restaurant. After thinking about the name, she called it "Ma's Restaurant".
It is not very investment to build a small restaurant. You can buy a few sets of tables and chairs at the market. In addition, you can buy a freezer and some cooking utensils. It doesn’t cost much money. The investment is not big, and the risk is not big. Once you start, it will be a business to support your family. Ma Yan’s salary is not high, so you can’t expect him to support the whole family. Although you can also pay for some money for planting at home, it is all about food and clothing. It is not that easy to get rich.
On the day the restaurant opened, Chen Ming also went to the store to join in the fun.
Ma Yan is a village cadre and has a good reputation. Many people come to take care of business on the day of opening. Mandang sat about ten tables, and most of the village came here.
Ma Guangyong was a little anxious and circled inside and outside the house.
