The diameter of the wood exposed in the grease cloth was no more than 40cm. But the premise was that this wood was the scented rosewood, which was worth tens of thousands of gold coins, not to mention the sandalwood.
Even though Yuan Zhou hadn't seen the Hainan Rosewood in person, the wood on the ground now clearly told him that it was the legendary second-grade national protected plant wood, the Hainan Rosewood.
"System, what are the remaining three?" Pointing at the wood on the ground, Yuan Zhou felt deeply shocked in his heart.
The system displayed, "It's naturally better to use the same wood for the shelf."
Not knowing why, Yuan Zhou felt that the system didn't care about the words at all.
As an experienced and knowledgeable future Master Chef, Yuan Zhou continued to ask calmly, "How old is the wood?"
Yuan Zhou had intended to ask whether it was a new wood or an old one. But when he saw the degree of decay of the outer skin, he directly swallowed the obvious fact and changed to ask the age of the wood.
The system displayed, "Fragrant Branch Wood is also known as Hainan Yellow Sandalwood, Hainan Yellow Rosewood or Xiangtan Yellow Sandalwood. It grows on islands with tropical monsoon climate. In the growing season of hot and rainy, its wood is relatively wide and its color is slightly lighter. In the period of dry and cool weather, its wood is slightly darker."
"Due to the unique climate and slow growth period, it will form a unique joint scar when it encounters bad weather, which is also known as the" Ghost Face "pattern in the legend."
"The growth of the Hainan Rosewood is slow. Artificial planting starts from the seedling and starts to bear heartwood after 15 years. The diameter of a 20-year-old tree is 17-20cm and the diameter of the heartwood is only 2-5cm. Without heartwood, the tree can't grow into a tree. Wild Hainan Rosewood needs 100 years to grow into a tree."
"The wood provided by the system is wild Hainan Rosewood."
"Thank you." Yuan Zhou was both happy and depressed in his heart. But he still persisted to ask, "System, how old is the Hainan Rosewood provided by you?"
The system displayed, "The Huanghuali provided by the system is purple in color and grows on the hillside 35 meters above sea level. It has a soft color and a beautiful pattern after being cut open. Its fragrance is similar to that of roses. The wood feels moist and the wood is stable. The softness and hardness of the wood are suitable for making furniture."
"Therefore, the System is providing the heartwood of a thousand-year Yellow Rosewood."
"Cough, cough, cough." Yuan Zhou choked.
"A thousand years?!" Yuan Zhou exclaimed.
The system displayed, "Yes."
"Do you have a certificate?" Yuan Zhou's first reaction was to ask.
"If I remember correctly, the scented rosewood is a second-class protected plant of the country. It's a crime to cut it without permission, not to mention that it's a thousand-year-old scented rosewood," Yuan Zhou felt that there were four 15-meter long and 40-centimeter-wide gold bars lying on the ground.
No, it could be said that the gold bar had underestimated the value of these old pieces of wood. It should be four diamonds of this size.
The system displayed, "All the procedures are in order. Host, you don't need to worry."
"That's good." Yuan Zhou wasn't surprised to get the answer that he had expected.
After all, the system could even provide the transaction receipt for those precious ingredients that he didn't know. Therefore, he wasn't worried at all. However, as a law-abiding citizen, Yuan Zhou indicated that this was just a routine inquiry and he wasn't worried at all.
"Where did you get the thousand-year Yellow Rosewood? I remember there isn't any Yellow Rosewood in the market anymore, unless it's the Vietnamese Rosewood," Yuan Zhou continued asking.
The system displayed, "This Yellow Rosewood is from Hainan Rosewood, not Vietnamese Rosewood. It was collected by the system a hundred years ago. All the procedures are in order. Host, you don't need to worry."
"After the wood was cut, the system preserved it according to the most suitable ancient method. Now that I think of it, it's mellow and can be made into furniture."
"Since it's from a hundred years ago, where did you get it from now?" Yuan Zhou asked.
The system displayed, "Host, you don't have enough authority. Please work hard to level up and become a Master Chef as soon as possible."
"Ho Ho," Yuan Zhou looked at the Yellow Rosewood on the ground and immediately felt a headache when he thought of Carpenter Lian who was about to arrive.
"I wonder if Master Lian will beat me to death if he knows that I'm going to use this wood to make a bowl rack." Yuan Zhou supported his forehead with one hand and couldn't help touching the wood with the other.
It couldn't be helped. This was also the first time that Yuan Zhou had seen this legendary and precious wood. As expected, even if it hadn't been polished or waxed, it was still warm and comfortable to the touch.
"I wonder if it's too late to find another wood to replace it," Yuan Zhou muttered inwardly.
Although they hadn't known each other for long, Yuan Zhou knew that Carpenter Lian was truly an experienced carpenter. He was truly fond of some good wood. It was just like how Yuan Zhou couldn't walk away from the vegetable market and had to take a stroll there.
However, just when Yuan Zhou was thinking about that, Carpenter Lian's energetic voice came from the restaurant, "Yuan, we've arrived."
"I hope Master's heart is in good condition." Yuan Zhou muttered. He put away the expression on his face and walked out of the sergestes wall view with a carefree expression.
As soon as Yuan Zhou walked out of the door, he saw Carpenter Lian wearing his usual blue coarse work clothes and a pair of comfortable black cloth shoes. He was also holding a small toolbox in his hand.
Clearly, Carpenter Lian was really here to help Yuan Zhou build a bowl rack. Beside him, Ma Xiao was holding a big toolbox in each hand and carrying a big wooden saw on his back. He was also wearing work clothes.
"Master, Junior Brother Ma, you guys are really early," Yuan Zhou said politely.
It wasn't early. Breakfast ended at 9 am. Yuan Zhou didn't go upstairs to wash up and directly went to look at the wood in the courtyard. It was only 9: 30 am now, so he didn't come very early. He still had to calculate the time to come.
"Of course. I still keep your matter in mind," Carpenter Lian wasn't as reserved as Zhou Shijie and said straightforwardly.
Ma Xiao, who was at the side, also nodded his head. It wasn't because of his heart that his disciple could only be a helper now.
"Thank you, Master," Yuan Zhou said as his heart warmed.
"What are you thanking me for? Bring me to see the good wood you mentioned," Carpenter Lian waved his hand and said straightforwardly.
"Yeah, I also want to see what kind of good wood Senior Brother Yuan has," Ma Xiao also shouted.
Yuan Zhou thought of the wood that was randomly placed in the backyard and his heart tightened. However, he still maintained a straight face and acted naturally.
"I wonder if Master will slap me when he sees the system randomly placed the wood. It seems like I have to adapt to the situation later," Yuan Zhou said in his heart.
Speaking of which, the pub was the largest among the few shops. After all, it used to be a teahouse. Not only was the place big, it was also spacious. Otherwise, the backyard wouldn't be able to contain the four 15-meter long wood.
"Let's go. Let me see what kind of good wood you got," Carpenter Lian also needed someone to lead the way. He directly walked into the sergestes wall view door.
Carpenter Lian had been to this small courtyard a few times. He knew that the wood was definitely not in the small garden in front, but in the backyard.
Therefore, Carpenter Lian led Ma Xiao to the backyard, while Yuan Zhou followed behind them.
However, when they passed by Yuan Zhou, Carpenter Lian suddenly said, "Yuan, the smell on your body today is quite familiar."
It wasn't familiar. It was the mellow and light wood fragrance of the old Huanghuali that lingered for a long time.
I'm dead, I'm dead …
