The old things I repaired have become fine

Chapter 124: One more wage earner at home (Subscription required)
According to Doctor Qin, Yaoyao, who had become a spirit of the Yaoqin, had no idea about the piano platform. She just wanted a piano platform that was "comfortable to sit on and where I could display my strength."

Anyway, she already has many kinds of piano stands, including red sandalwood, boxwood, rosewood, golden nanmu, and various precious woods.
She has collected almost all the imaginable styles and decorations, including carvings, gold inlays, and jade inlays. Some of them are customized by her, and some are given by friends...

Shen Le: “…”

It must have been given to me by a suitor like you, right?
right?

"Anyway, I have two pieces of good wood here. One is rosewood, exactly the same as the piano table she smashed before."

Dr. Qin was unaware of Shen Le's criticism. He took out his phone, showed him the picture, and explained his needs to him:
“Another piece is made of paulownia wood, which has a clear and distinct sound that is extraordinary.

I'll give you both. The rosewood one can be made into a piano table exactly the same as the original one, and the paulownia one can be made as you like...

I'll pay 20,000 yuan for each piano, and if she's satisfied, I'll add another 20,000 yuan, how about that?"

One zither costs about 20,000 yuan, two costs about 40,000 yuan, and a small oil lamp costs two-fifths of the monthly food ration.

Shen Le naturally accepted it with a smile. He accepted the 10,000 yuan deposit, and Dr. Qin's face was full of red, and he thanked him profusely:
"My happiness depends on you! When the piano is finished, I will have a gift for you. It's a big surprise!"

Shen Le directly gave the piece of rosewood to the little inkstone, asking it to make a piano stand exactly like the original one. Shen Le himself still focused all his energy on the doll cabinet:

For ten days, the Maoshan Taoist duo drove a car and took the doll cabinet (and Shen Le) to travel through the streets and alleys of Zhuxi Town, every community, and every building.

Over 100 square kilometers, dozens of streets and villages. Fortunately, a quarter of it was lake surface, so Shen Le didn't get exhausted...

After going through all this, the doll cabinet finally said that it thought it was worth a try, at least in the town, in the central area.

So Shen Le lent the doll cabinet to Gu Yulin and asked him to put it in the office to see if the little guy would call the police if a case occurred and give the police directions.

If possible, the little guy can be a useful tool spirit to society and fulfill the wishes of its master;

By the way, I can work and earn a salary. Add some money to Shen Le's wallet, at least, to make back its own value and the cost of repairing it?

First day at the doll cabinet:
"It reported a fight, but it pointed to the wrong place. When we arrived, the fight was already over, the police response was over, and everyone was taken back to the police station!"

Shen Le:

"Next time, teach it more, or take it for a ride more often? Artificial intelligence also needs training..."

Second day on the job:
"It reported a theft... Unfortunately, it's not a supernatural case, so it's not our responsibility. Can you tell it to only report supernatural cases next time?"

Shen Le:

"It's a bit difficult, I'll give it a try... However, its owner only wants it to report the crime, and the factory settings may not be easy to change..."

The third day on the job:
"It's not moving! The reading has hit rock bottom, down to triple digits! Did we wear it out?"

Shen Le: "...If it doesn't work, pull it back, let me take a look..."

The result of the investigation was that the doll cabinet was not broken. It was just that it had been placed in a place with insufficient spiritual energy for a long time and had not been replenished. It was too tired...

"...If that doesn't work, why not leave it at my house?" Shen Le discussed with them:

"The power of the things I repair grows slowly. If you keep them in my house, at least they won't be killed by you for no apparent reason one day, right?"

"…So you're okay with us setting up an office in your house?"

"How much is the rent?"

"Well... you see, our office expenses are not high..." Gu Yulin smiled awkwardly:

"In this town, the monthly rent for a 20-square-meter house is no more than yuan. Your house is old and well furnished. How about renting a room for yuan a month?"

"What a joke!"

Shen Le denied it outright. Do I look like someone who needs this little money?
Do I look like I need someone who can pay 2,000 yuan a month?
When I first arrived in Zhuxi Town, there was still a shortage of people, and I had to rely on Pinocchio to work hard every day and earn 3,000 yuan a month.
But now, I have no shortage of money! I make a piece of antique furniture, or repair a piece of Ming and Qing furniture, and the labor fee is 20,000!
"Two thousand? Two thousand, not even enough to cover the depreciation of the room!"

"No... our office budget is really limited..."

After a while of arguing, the two sides sent the doll cabinet to Binhai for another test, which confirmed that it was "beneficial and useful to humans and could be developed into a non-staff member."

With the identity, there are corresponding standards. With the corresponding standards, the two sides finally reached an agreement:

Shen Le set aside a separate room in his home to place a doll cabinet and installed a monitoring system so that Gu Yulin and Zhang Bingxin could check at any time;

The Maoshan Taoist duo promised not to disturb Shen Le's life unless it was absolutely necessary. If they saw a murder case and couldn't find it, and it was urgent, they would notify Shen Le and ask him to communicate with the doll cabinet;
Of course, this communication is not in vain. The doll cabinet has a salary!

Pay wages according to Gu Yulin’s standards!
The monthly salary is 200 yuan. Because it is a doll cabinet, there is no need to pay social security. The net income is yuan, plus points!

At the current stage, the capacity of the doll cabinet only covers the urban area of Zhuxi Town.

In the future, if the doll cabinet can cover more than 100 kilometers around Zhuxi Town, if it can cover Binhai City, if it can provide accurate early warning and only report cases related to supernatural powers... after verification, the salary can be increased!

"Great! I can make money!" Shen Le smiled and patted the doll cabinet.

Pinocchio's performance fee so far is about 10,000 yuan per month, which is earned by performing every day, rain or shine, and working eight hours a day.

The doll cabinet just sits at home and does nothing, but it can earn you 12,000 yuan every month!
The door of the cabinet was opened and closed, closed and opened, deliberately making a creaking sound. The dolls in the cabinet filed out, jumped onto the map, and danced happily...

"By the way, now that it's alive, it should have a name." Shen Le followed the custom of his family and patted the doll cabinet with a smile:

"What do you want to be called? Or should I give you one?"

In Shen Le's mind, the aura in the doll cabinet fluctuated violently, and it seemed that everyone was interested. Soon, seven or eight voices rang out in Shen Le's heart, impatiently:
[Yingying! Call me Yingying! ]

[No! Yingying is the old master's name! ]

[That's called Xingxing? ]

[No! Xingxing is the name of the old master, the old master's brother!]

[Can I call her Haizhu? The old master is called Chen Haixing, and the old master is called Chen Haiying. Should we follow this order? ]

[Absolutely not! ]

[We are made by the old master and the old master. We are their children. How can we have the same name as them? Are you stupid? ]

【You are the fool! 】

[Bang, bang, bang, bang…]

Shen Le was surprised to see that the young men and women, middle-aged men and women, old women, and little girl dolls rolled together and punched each other.

If we can’t come to a conclusion through discussion, then let’s come up with one!
Shen Le: “…”

Last time, the little oil lamp refused to give a name, because its spiritual wisdom was not yet fully developed, and it had no obsession with things like "names";
This time, the doll cabinet couldn't be named because there were a group of dolls inside, each with their own ideas, and no one could convince anyone else...

"Forget it, before you come up with a conclusion, just call it a doll cabinet." Shen Le patted the cabinet board, shook his head and walked away to look up information and draw the style of the piano stand.

A piano stand costs 20,000!

Of course, we should try to make it more refined and in line with customer needs!
"Zheng Mo, come and see, can you make this style?"

[It’s so easy! I can do it with my eyes closed!] The little ink fountain reached over the lead weight and took a look:
[With this style, I can finish it in one day without polishing! ]

"Very good! I'll send it to the customer for confirmation. If there's no problem, we'll do it! We can take care of the low-value products later. Or if you don't want to do it anymore, you don't have to do it!"

Little Modou was working diligently, directing the tools to work. Meanwhile, in the mutton restaurant, Old You was coming back and forth, urging them to come for the third time:
"Madam, what do you think? What did the maker say? Is it possible to take a custom job?"

"He's been busy lately and has no time to take orders." The lady boss calmly pushed back the herbs that Lao You had sent over:

"Just be patient and wait until he finishes the work at hand. Maybe he will be free. Or... you can find something that he is interested in and try to please him?"

"Is there anything that interests you?!" Old You was overjoyed.

I am not afraid that he will not listen to me, I am afraid that he will not have any desires. As long as he is a person and has needs, we can please him in a targeted way!
"Look... what should I look for? Herbs? Precious jade? Books? Antiques? Or martial arts? I don't necessarily have to look for a beauty, right?"

Actually, it’s not impossible to have beautiful women, but the aesthetics of monsters are always a little different from that of humans...

The boss lady was also stumped. Shen Le usually stayed at home and never went out, and he didn't buy anything strange.

He had been eating at Tianxianglou for several months, but he never got tired of it. He kept asking for more and ordered a variety of dishes.

Although the waitresses in the store were pretty, he just looked at them as a sight and was not attracted to them. If there was a hobby that could impress him...

Got it!

"Well, you can find some old items. The more popular they are and the more stories they have, the better. Don't worry if they are dented or damaged. I'll send them over for you and see if he's interested."

Lao You’s eyes suddenly lit up!

"That's right. Anyone who likes to make all kinds of beds must like carpentry! I'll find old things for him! Find him good wood! Find him tools! I'm going!"

He made a phantom body, flew out of the window, and soared into the sky. The proprietress leaned against the window, looking up at a brown line going straight away, stretching out in the sky, and couldn't help but smile:
Should!
You should be asked to search the world for good things! You should be asked to bring back seventeen or eighteen things, none of which would please Mr. Shen!
It tells you to keep flying around and snooping!

I told you to find a group of crows and have them run into the house and start cawing!
When you were circling around and looking around, do you know how hard it was for me to stare at you?
I can’t just knock you away!
