PDLP Chapter 145 Baby Chair
Chapter 145 Baby Chair
When A Yue came back with Snowball in her arms, the yard was bustling again.
"The chair you asked me to make is now ready. Let Wu Yuan sit on it and try it out."
Amin walked in carrying a chair.
Wu Yuan was able to sit up soon, and Xu Yiyi thought of getting him a suitable chair.
"I've never seen the style you described before, so I can only rely on my imagination. Do you think it's okay? If not, I'll make it again."
Armin held his hands and looked at it uncomfortably.
He originally learned the craft from a master carpenter in the town, but he was too honest.
Everyone in the woodworking shop was happy to bully him, and since Amin had some talent, he was noticed by the shopkeeper.
His master became jealous and fabricated a story that Amin was doing something dishonest and rushed him back.
No matter what others say, the people on the island don't believe it.
After all, he is a child that I have watched grow up, and he is a very honest person.
So my great uncle, who was very angry, took his clansmen to Zhenshan to seek justice.
More than a dozen people holding harpoons blocked the wood shop. They didn't fight, they just quarreled.
The quarrel lasted for three or two days, and the woodworking business was unable to do business.
Under the shopkeeper's questioning, Amin's master was willing to tell the truth.
The great uncle brought people to force Amin's master to quit his job and run back home in disgrace. He only stopped making trouble after receiving compensation.
When leaving, the owner of the wood shop asked Amin to go back.
But perhaps because he was afraid of being bullied, Amin returned to the island to work as a fisherman.
But the craftsmanship has not been lost.
In his spare time, he makes various furniture in the house every day. People on the island are happy to go to him to customize furniture.
Xu Yiyi looked at the polished chair and carried Wu Yuan up.
The chair is small and exquisite, with a slightly curved back. Wu Yuan sits on it and leans against it comfortably. There are armrests on both sides.
The front table can be removed.
It is somewhat similar to a modern baby chair.
"If the chair is too hard, you can put a cushion on the seat. It will make Wu Yuan more comfortable."
When A Ming saw Wu Yuan frowning, he quickly spoke.
Xu Yiyi carried him down.
"Thank you! Brother Ming, you are so skillful. The one you made is even better than I expected."
Xu Yiyi was generous with her praise, and Amin felt as if he had drunk honey water.
"Si Hai, get money for Brother A Ming."
Seeing that Amin was really nervous, Xu Yiyi had no choice but to let Sihai come out to talk to him.
According to her, Amin should be a little socially anxious.
In addition, he had been bullied for a long time in the wood shop, so he felt uncomfortable talking and interacting with the elders on the island and peers like Xu Yiyi.
Sihai ran over and took out thirty coins from Xu Yiyi's room.
He stuffed it into Amin's hand.
"Here, Brother A-Ming, this is money."
Sihai spoke in a soft voice, which gave Amin a say.
Amin handed back the ten cents in his hand.
"It's not expensive to make a chair myself. Since everyone is supporting my business, I can't charge you too much. You can take this money back."
Sihai looked up and took the money only after seeing the elder sister nod.
Amin took the money and said goodbye to them with a smile.
……
At this time, smoke could be seen rising from the yard.
Xu Anyang entered the yard carrying a bucket of fish.
"Sister Yiyi, these are freshly dead fish. They are hard to sell, so my father asked me to send them to you to dry."
This time Xu Pinghai and his crew took a simple and lazy boy with them on their voyage.
The caught fish were put into the bottom warehouse without puncturing their swim bladders.
By the time we got back to the dock, most of the fish were dead.
The less they sell, the more they die.
Xu Pinghai watched the crew teach the boy a lesson, and then had the fish divided up.
Xu Anyang squatted in the yard, holding a small knife to scrape the fish scales, while Sihai worked non-stop to smear coarse salt on the fish and put it in a ceramic jar for a day.
It can be hung up the next day.
……
Er'er doesn't care about the taste of the food he cooks. The dead fish seemed fresh, so he simply picked out two of them and fried them slowly over low heat.
Because of the previous conflict with Sihai, he specially fished out a few swimming crabs from the pool and steamed them with egg custard.
This is what Sihai likes to eat.
If Xu Yiyi had ignored it, Er'er would probably have just cooked another pot of porridge and been done with it.
"Stir-fry some taro with shrimp paste. Isn't there some pork belly in the well? Throw it in and stir-fry it together."
Xu Yiyi squatted in the yard, preparing ingredients for the evening stall.
Seeing this, Xu Anyang quickly asked her to stop.
"Sister Yiyi, I see you've done it so many times that you've gotten the hang of it. Go sit over there and rest. I'll clean up. You'll have time to work in the evening."
Xu Yiyi twisted his hands and continued to work.
"I'm not as delicate as you think. There are so many things here. It will be too late to clean them up by yourself."
I'm going to set up a stall after dinner.
"Then take your time and let me do more. My grandfather has already told me to do the hard labor, so feel free to order me around."
Xu Anyang quickened his hands.
At least I managed to get the ingredients ready before dinner.
Today, the two children at home had a conflict, and she mediated.
Otherwise it would have been cleaned up long ago.
……
Dinner is light and refreshing.
As soon as Sihai sat down at the table, he saw the plate of egg custard and smiled happily at Er'er with his small teeth showing.
Aunt Li returned the boat before Xu Yiyi set up her stall.
I also brought a small bag of snacks when I entered the yard.
Sihai took a bite and it was all powder, the dessert was choking.
He ate it with water and refused to eat a second piece.
"I knew you were going out around this time, so I came back quickly."
Aunt Li's mood improved after she went out.
When I saw Er'er, I was no longer as upset as before.
After asking, I found out that he went to the Temple of the Sea God in the county.
"I've been feeling really down lately and having trouble sleeping at night. But after going to the Temple of Poseidon, I feel better now."
Li Shen smiled and helped Xu Yiyi move the various sauces to the river.
"That's good, I can sleep well at night."
Xu Yiyi had a bright smile on her face.
After all the ingredients were packed, Xu Anyang rowed the boat out of the river.
"I think Aunt Li was pissed off by Li Xiuying."
Xu Anyang complained, and Xu Yiyi glanced at him while rowing his own boat.
He closed his mouth obediently.
A Yue and Er Er sat at the bow of the boat holding Snowball.
Xu Yiyi sighed. The boat was becoming more and more crowded.
I don’t know when her big ship will be completed.
