Chapter 1287: Exchanging for wood
Yuan Zhou said that quite seriously with a serious expression. He didn’t seem to be joking at all.
However, Ma Xiao was stunned. He lowered his head and looked at the wood on the ground, then at Yuan Zhou and then at his master. For some reason, he suddenly understood why he favored Yuan Zhou, the apprentice he had just accepted.
“If I had this kind of yellow Rosewood, I would definitely treat it as a family heirloom and pa.s.s it on. I would only wish that I could offer it three joss sticks a day as a tribute. Why would I use it to build a wooden shelf?” Ma Xiao’s heart was bleeding.
“It’s just an ordinary bowl holder. ” Ma Xiao looked at Yuan Zhou and couldn’t help ridiculing him again.
After complaining, Ma Xiao looked at the wood on the ground with an infatuated look. He wondered what kind of furniture would be made from such old fragrant Rosewood.
Carpenter Lian, on the other hand, suppressed the anger in his body and took a deep breath. After he exhaled, he said with a hoa.r.s.e voice,””Little Yuan, do you recognize this wooden block?”
“Don’t worry, master. I know him. ” Yuan Zhou said affirmatively.
When he heard Yuan Zhou say that he knew him, Carpenter Lian’s heart ached for him. He closed his eyes and said again,””This is the sea. I took a look at the southern Yellow Rosewood when I was opening it just now. It’s not young, and I’ve never seen such a big heart material since the founding of the country. ”
While saying that, Carpenter Lian paused and looked at Yuan Zhou before he continued,””This block of wood must be a thousand years old.”
“Master has good eyes. It’s indeed a thousand year yellow Rosewood.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

After his guess was confirmed, Carpenter Lian didn’t feel happy at all. Instead, he felt his heart ache even more. He said,””It’s such a loss to make a bowl rack out of such good material. ”
Carpenter Lian bit his heart when he said that. His face was scrunched up, showing that he was extremely distressed.
Before Yuan Zhou could say anything, Carpenter Lian continued,””The remaining three are all the same yellow Rosewood, right?”
Yuan Zhou nodded his head. Carpenter Lian looked at the fragrant Rosewood on the ground and then at Yuan Zhou before he continued,””No matter what we do with this kind of wood, we’ll lose money. It can’t be described with money anymore. This is a treasure.”
“Right, it’s worth at least a hundred million.” Ma Xiao nodded solemnly at the side.
“It’s worth hundreds of millions?” Yuan Zhou was also a little surprised in the heart.
Yuan Zhou had only been working as a Carpenter for a short period of time. Although his craftsmans.h.i.+p was not bad, he still had some knowledge about carpentry in reserve. As for these precious woods that had a fragrance, it was really beyond his knowledge.
Therefore, Yuan Zhou only roughly knew that such a big yellow Rosewood was very, very precious. However, the concept of more than 100 million Yuan still startled Yuan Zhou.
Almost immediately, Yuan Zhou asked the system in his mind,””This piece of wood is worth hundreds of millions?”
The system displayed,[hundreds of millions are just coins. Its true value lies in the priceless treasures.]
“Then can I sell it and buy other wood to make the bowl rack?” Yuan Zhou said immediately.
One should know that Yuan Zhou’s current wealth hadn’t even exceeded 100 million Yuan. Therefore, he naturally had other thoughts when facing treasures that exceeded 100 million Yuan.
The system displayed,”this is specially made for the bowl rack and can not be bought or sold.”
Having already guessed that, Yuan Zhou just sighed in his heart,
“It’ll be my own if I make it into a bowl rack anyway. ” Yuan Zhou consoled himself for a while and then silently thought of the eight-figure savings in his bank account. Only after he felt a little balanced did he say that indifferently.
“The fragrant Rosewood is not suitable for carving tableware. If the fragrance is too strong, it will affect the taste and texture of the dish.” Yuan Zhou said with a slight frown.
Not only did Carpenter Lian’s face Twitch, even Ma Xiao couldn’t help giving Yuan Zhou a thumbs up. He was full of admiration for Yuan Zhou.
“I won’t be able to reach this level in my life.” Ma Xiao thought to himself.
Carpenter Lian took a deep breath and continued,””Of course it’s not suitable to be used to make tableware. You can make some expensive decoration or something. Your carving is quite good.”
“No need, just make a bowl rack. This is a must now.” Yuan Zhou shook his head and said.
Seeing that Yuan Zhou wouldn’t listen to him no matter how he tried to persuade him, Carpenter Lian finally stopped being serious and said irritatedly,””You brat, you only know how to waste good things. Is this the kind of wood that can be used to make a bowl rack?”
Carpenter Lian pointed at the wood on the ground and said repeatedly. Of course, Carpenter Lian kept saying that it was a waste to use such good wood to make the bowl rack.
In fact, Carpenter Lian also felt bitter in his heart. He had originally planned to persuade Yuan Zhou with reason and emotion, but Yuan Zhou just refused. As a result, he couldn’t control his temper.
To be honest, this was only possible for Yuan Zhou. If it was Ma Xiao who wanted to use the scented Rosewood to make the bowl rack, Carpenter Lian would have strangled him to death.
When facing Yuan Zhou, although Carpenter Lian had the protection of an elder, he also had a sense of befriending a master of the same generation. He was even sure that Yuan Zhou would definitely go further than him in the future. Therefore, he couldn’t be tough.
“But wood is wood, not to mention that it has already been cut down. It’s the same for any kind of furniture. The bowl rack is no different from the others.” When Yuan Zhou said that, he was quite serious. He also thought so in his heart.
This time, Carpenter Lian had nothing to say. After a moment of silence, Carpenter Lian crouched down and touched the yellow Rosewood on the ground. He then said,””How about this? I have a few red sandalwood with small leaves. It’ll be better to make a bowl rack.”
“I’ll use three red sandalwood to exchange for half of your fragrant Rosewood. ” Carpenter Lian said.
“Master, there’s no need. Didn’t you say that you’d keep your red sandalwood as a family heirloom?” Yuan Zhou knew that Carpenter Lian had red sandalwood. Therefore, he immediately said.
“Even so, I can’t just watch you waste good things.” Carpenter Lian mumbled.
“Master, don’t worry. It’s the same as a bowl rack. It’s also proper furniture.” Yuan Zhou said earnestly.
“I think you’re the one who’s not serious now.” Carpenter Lian said unhappily.
Yuan Zhou didn’t say anything. He just silently picked up the tools and began to dismantle the remaining wood in the same way Carpenter Lian had done.
Carpenter Lian, on the other hand, went to Yuan Zhou’s side and asked,””Just half a piece. Although my red sandalwood isn’t a thousand years old, it’s still a hundred years old. It’s a good material. I won’t cheat you if I exchange it for half a piece.”
Carpenter Lian was really trying his best, but Yuan Zhou still shook his head and said,””Master, you can keep your good wood.”
Yuan Zhou’s tone was resolute, but he couldn’t bear to do that in his heart. After thinking for a while, he said in his heart,”System, the rest of the wood used to make the bowl rack belongs to me, right?”
Before the system could say anything, Yuan Zhou continued,””If I didn’t have any wood shavings left, it would be weird if you recycled them, right?”
Yuan Zhou’s tone and reason were quite legitimate. He didn’t have the intention to pocket it at all.
The system was silent for a moment, then displayed,””The host can deal with it on his own.”
“Okay. Don’t worry, system. I’ll definitely take care of such a small matter. After all, I’m the future master chef.” Yuan Zhou said immediately.
However, the system didn’t respond to Yuan Zhou’s words. At the side, Carpenter Lian and Ma Xiao had already begun to dismantle the other wood.
“I’m sure master will like the surprise. ” Yuan Zhou thought in his heart and then started to work.
