I am bound by the sect

Chapter 9 Keep a low profile, Master Guo, call the carpenters!
Of course, the specifications that were decided were based on the conversation between the two of them. In order to be more precise, the shopkeeper of the beautiful woman directly ordered the designer to paint the style described by Fang Ming and the material described by the shopkeeper of the beautiful woman again by means of painting. After drawing it, the final style was almost exactly what Fang Ming wanted, and after Fang Ming suggested revisions, the designer made revisions, and finally determined the specifications and colors of the clothes.

Although the designer's painting skills are not as good as Zhang Yaozong's, he can describe what Fang Ming wants to the greatest extent, which is already considered good. After all, when he actually started sewing clothes, there was still some difference from the design. , It depends on how well the master tailor performs.

As the head of the shop, Fang Ming had to make a tailor-made order of course. The shopkeeper of the beautiful woman actually took the initiative to measure Fang Ming's size, and Fang Ming actively cooperated without showing the slightest hypocrisy.

After all the hard work, the beautiful shopkeeper did not show any signs of impatience or fatigue, and always maintained enthusiastic service.

It would take at least a month to complete these fourteen sets of clothes.

Fang Ming knew that sewing clothes was slow work and meticulous work, so he wouldn't be in a hurry.

A set of clothes for the master needs 100 taels of silver, three sets of clothes for elders need 30 taels of silver, and the clothes of the inner and outer disciples, as well as the handyman’s clothes add up to five taels of silver. Fang Ming bought the painting of Qingling Mountain from Zhang Yaozong as a template, and sewed it on everyone's clothes like a cat or a tiger. Of course, as for how to sew it, let the tailors do it themselves, as long as it looks decent That's fine.

The painting of Qingling Mountain can only be left in the tailor shop for the time being. Fang Ming told the shopkeeper of the beautiful woman to take good care of the painting, and the shopkeeper of the beautiful woman swore to agree.

The material cost of the clothes is 130 taels in total, plus 50 taels of manual and service fees, the total is 180 taels.

Fang Ming paid 180 taels of silver directly. This was a big order for the shopkeeper of the beautiful woman. She dared not neglect it in the slightest. Even if she ordered someone to start work, what Fang Ming should do was to come and pick it up in a month's time. Clothes will do.

After Fang Ming left, the servants next to the shopkeeper Meifu asked the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, I can't tell that this young man is dressed in ordinary clothes, and he made such a generous move. He didn't even say a counter-offer."

"How many times have I told you that you can't just look at people on the surface. This person looks very low-key. If I'm not wrong, this person should be from the Qing Lingzong. We will take orders from other customers first. The deposit will only be paid in full after the completion and the customer is satisfied. But this person paid in full directly. He should have expected that we dare not take this order seriously. Let us tell our tailor again that this order is ten thousand Don't underestimate me, please pay attention to me." The beautiful shopkeeper said with a calm expression.

"Yes, shopkeeper."

It was getting late, so Fang Ming stayed in an inn in Luliu Town. He went out early the next morning and began to move around the town, mainly looking for carpenters who could make furniture.

He himself only found two carpenters all morning, explained clearly where and what to do, how much they would be paid, and paid a deposit of two taels to each of them before he was willing to go to Qing Lingzong with Fang Ming.

It took only one morning to find two carpenters, and the efficiency was really slow. In the end, Fang Ming tried to ask the two of them, "Who knows who is the famous carpenter here, and what is his prestige?"

"We have two most famous carpenters in Luliu Town, Qiu Zhi and Guo Xianyong. They are of the same level, but their personalities are very different. Qiu Zhi can only concentrate on his own work, and his personality is relatively withdrawn. Therefore, No one learns carpentry from him, and there are very few friends. If it weren’t for his excellent craftsmanship, it would be difficult for him to get a job. Then Guo Xianyong is different. He has an open-minded personality, loves to make friends, and has many apprentices. They learned carpentry there," explained one of the carpenters.

To make so many beds and cabinets, relying on the two of them alone is not only tiring but also slow in efficiency. It is also a good thing for them to find more people to work in Qing Lingzong.

"So that's it. Can you show me this Master Guo?" Fang Ming was overjoyed. If he found the leader, the other sheep would follow the leader. Guo Xianyong was the leader.

"That's no problem. If you're looking for him to do business, you'd better buy a drunk chicken and a jar of peach blossom wine to meet him. Master Guo likes this one."

Fang Ming heard that, under the leadership of two carpenters, he went to buy Zuixian Chicken and Peach Blossom Brew. These two things are the special roast chicken and fine wine in Luliu Town. I went to see that Master Guo with a generous gift.

Giving a gift is to match what one likes. If the other party likes it and accepts it, things will be much easier.

Guo Xianyong is a man in his 50s. Although he is older, he is full of energy. After he received the drunk chicken and peach blossom wine, he took Fang Ming to a deserted place and started talking.

Fang Ming wants to hire Guo Xianyong to work in the Lingzong of the Qing Dynasty, and ask Guo Xianyong to have a few more carpenters to go to the Lingzong of the Qing Dynasty. Fang Ming can pay some deposit first, and he will pay the corresponding silver for each bed or wooden cabinet completed. , until one hundred beds and one hundred wooden cabinets are completed, all costs will not be lower than the market price.

To make a bed and it is a high-quality bed, the market handmade price is [-] taels, Fang Ming gives [-] taels. To make a high-quality wooden cabinet, the market handmade price is [-] taels, Fang Ming still gives a high price of [-] taels. .

Fang Ming gave them the same price as the two carpenters found in the morning.

Also, all the wood is sourced locally in Qingling Mountain. In a forest 200 meters away from the dormitory, there is a very suitable tree called Tenglong wood, which can be used to make beds and cabinets, which can prevent snakes, insects, rats, and ants.

After Guo Xianyong heard Fang Ming's conditions, he immediately agreed. After all, Fang Ming gave each person a deposit of [-] taels first. For every bed or wooden cabinet that is of good quality, he can get [-] taels of craftsmanship fee. The most important thing is It is possible to get materials nearby, but if it is in Luliu Town, you have to chop trees from the outside, and it takes a lot of effort to transport the wood to the town.

Fang Ming requested that one hundred beds and one hundred wooden cabinets be made within a month.

Guo Xianyong agreed, and called seven carpenters who worked with him, plus the two carpenters that Fang Ming had found long ago, and Guo Xianyong himself, a total of ten carpenters. After finishing tools, he followed Fang Ming to Qing Lingzong.

Guo Xianyong roughly calculated that from cutting down the trees to making 20 beds and [-] wooden cabinets, if he tried his best, it would be completed in less than [-] days.

In addition to the deposit of two taels of silver, they can get 600 taels of silver after finishing the bed and cabinet. Because they work together, they usually cooperate very tacitly, and the rewards will be evenly distributed. Allotted 160 taels of silver.

Ten carpenters are just enough. If there is one more person, they will lose some money. If there is one less person, the efficiency will not be improved.

For their carpenters, they don't have work every day, and sometimes they need to go out to find work by themselves. This time, they can earn so much money at once, and they can't miss this opportunity no matter what.
