Hearing this, Yuan Zhou also felt the smell on his body. He replied indifferently, "Master, you will know in a moment."
"Aren't you always unwilling to use smelly things? Why are you still keeping us in suspense?" Carpenter Lian teased with a smile.
"This is an exception," Yuan Zhou said.
"Senior Yuan also knows how to joke," Ma Xiao added with a smile.
"You will know in a moment," Yuan Zhou didn't explain further. He just gestured for the two to continue walking to the backyard.
From the Kitchen God to the sergestes wall view door to the backyard where the wood was placed, it wasn't far. They arrived in less than five minutes.
Carpenter Lian and Ma Xiao immediately saw the four pieces of wood lying on the ground. One of the ends of the wood had been disassembled a little.
Because the weather was sunny today, the fragrance of the rosewood was not as strong as it was on a rainy day. Moreover, the backyard was open. Other than the rich and mellow smell when the wood was disassembled, the smell was not as obvious after such a long time.
Of course, the smell was not obvious to ordinary people like Carpenter Lian and Ma Xiao. To Yuan Zhou, the smell was very obvious.
"We came at the right time. You haven't had the time to disassemble it yet," Carpenter Lian said with a smile.
"Yes, master and junior can disassemble it together," Yuan Zhou said with a gesture of invitation.
"That's great. It's a good thing to disassemble good wood together," Carpenter Lian said with a smile.
"Yeah, good wood is hard to come by nowadays," Ma Xiao nodded.
"En," Yuan Zhou nodded and didn't say anything else.
"Take out the tools and place them here. We will disassemble it together," Carpenter Lian said to Ma Xiao as he put down the small tool box in his hand.
"Yes, master," Ma Xiao nodded and put down the tool box and saw on his back.
Then, Ma Xiao squatted down and opened the tool box. He took out the tools for disassembling the outer layer of the wood.
Carpenter Lian, on the other hand, went to the place where Yuan Zhou had disassembled one end of the wood. Clearly, he wanted to see what kind of wood it was.
Carpenter Lian squatted down out of habit and squinted his eyes. However, the moment he squatted down, the first thing he smelled was a faint fragrance.
"Huh?" Carpenter Lian frowned in confusion and carefully looked at the wood.
But when he looked at the wood, his squinted eyes instantly widened. He immediately lowered his head and almost touched the wood on the ground.
"This, this, this is …" Carpenter Lian was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He turned and looked at Yuan Zhou with a burning gaze.
"Master, take your time. There's no hurry," Yuan Zhou said calmly.
"Okay, I'll slow down," Carpenter Lian replied in a daze. He then turned his head to look at the wood on the ground.
After a while, Carpenter Lian stretched out his withered and rough hand to touch the wood. However, he stopped a centimeter away from it. He looked like he wanted to touch it, but he was also a little afraid.
Just as Carpenter Lian was struggling in his heart, Ma Xiao walked to the other end of the log Carpenter Lian was on with the unpacking tools. She bent down and was about to start working.
"Master, let me dismantle this place." After saying that, Ma Xiao prepared to take action.
Carpenter Lian almost jumped up and grabbed Ma Xiao's hand with incredible agility. "Master?" Ma Xiao looked at Carpenter Lian with a dumbfounded expression.
"Zhou?" Ma Xiao looked at Carpenter Lian with a dumbfounded expression. He didn't know what was going on.
"Do you think you can touch this thing? Get out of my way, you're so rough, "Carpenter Lian pulled the tools out of Ma Xiao's hand and glared at him.
"Ugh …" Ma Xiao felt that he was being looked down upon by his master again, but he didn't know why.
At the side, Yuan Zhou said, "Master, I have already dismantled half of it. I will definitely dismantle the rest."
"You're the one who dismantled this?" Carpenter Lian pointed at the wood that was exposed.
"Yes," Yuan Zhou nodded.
"What a waste of resources. Where did all the things I taught you go? What if you damage the wood with such rudeness?" Carpenter Lian immediately scolded.
Fortunately, Carpenter Lian was still rational. He knew that the person in front of him was his proud disciple, so he didn't beat him up.
"Cough cough. Master, why don't you dismantle the rest yourself?" Yuan Zhou touched his forehead and said.
"Of course I'll dismantle it. You two should stay away from me," Carpenter Lian said in annoyance.
Before Yuan Zhou and the dumbfounded Ma Xiao could leave, Carpenter Lian said, "You two should stand closer and learn how to dismantle it."
This time, Yuan Zhou and Ma Xiao both smiled helplessly at each other. Only then did they stop one meter away from Carpenter Lian.
Although Carpenter Lian was sure that this was the precious wood he knew of, he didn't dare to recognize it until he saw the whole thing.
It couldn't be helped. There was no longer any Huanghuali wood in existence. Even new wood was extremely rare, let alone old wood like this.
Even those in the collecting circle had never seen such a big piece of old material. The biggest one was only as thick as an arm.
But the one in front of him was a solid 15-meter long, 40-centimeter wide heartwood. This wood couldn't be considered valuable anymore. It was a priceless treasure.
Moreover, looking at Yuan Zhou's expression, Carpenter Lian was afraid that the remaining three pieces of wood on the ground were also Huanghuali wood.
"No, I can't think about it anymore." Carpenter Lian pressed on his heart and shifted his gaze away from the three pieces of wood on the ground. Only then did he focus on dismantling the one in his hand.
Although Carpenter Lian was an old man, his arms were full of muscles due to his long years of carpentry. His palms were also very big, and he spoke with a strong voice. He had a bad temper and would often scold people.
But now, he was as gentle as if he was holding his newborn child for the first time. His actions were extremely gentle, but his expression was very sincere.
Carpenter Lian's dismantling speed was also very fast. He cut the iron wire without making any sound and gently removed the greasy cloth. His movements were so light that not even a speck of wood powder fell off the rotten outer skin.
Then, the whole piece of wood was presented in front of the three people.
The piece of wood was 15 meters long. Including the rotten outer skin, it was about 43 centimeters long. The whole piece of wood was perfectly straight, and after dismantling, it emitted a faint, lingering smell of wood. It smelled like a fragrant rose with morning dew.
"F * ck! Hainan Huanghuali wood. "Ma Xiao's eyes widened. He couldn't help but take a step forward to take a closer look.
"It really is Huanghuali wood," Carpenter Lian said in a praising tone.
This time, other than Yuan Zhou, the other two people surrounded the piece of wood in a daze. No, it should be said that they were admiring it. After all, such a big Huanghuali wood was a treasure that no one had seen for a long time.
On the other hand, Yuan Zhou had a calm expression. He looked as if he was used to it. Clearly, he had forgotten the shock he felt when he dismantled it.
The courtyard was silent for a while. Suddenly, Carpenter Lian turned to look at Yuan Zhou and said loudly, "Kid, what kind of furniture did you ask us to make yesterday?"
Under Carpenter Lian's aggressive and passionate gaze, Yuan Zhou said calmly, "Large-scale bowl rack."
"Senior Brother, are you going to store gold and jade bowls?" Ma Xiao swallowed his saliva and asked.
"No, the bowls and plates in the store need to be changed every season. The wooden rack is used to store bowls and plates that are not in season," Yuan Zhou said seriously.
Hearing this, Carpenter Lian and Ma Xiao were instantly stunned.
