As mentioned before, chefs usually had a hobby or a side job. Zhang Yan's hobby was to make bracelets, agate, amber, or jade. However, his favorite was still made of wood, and the position of scented rosewood in his bracelets was too high.
As mentioned before, there were not many scented rosewood in the world. The biggest scented rosewood they had found was only the length of an arm.
However, Yuan Zhou had taken out four 15-meter-long heartwood, and it was even a thousand-year-old tree. If Zhang Yan knew about this, he would be so excited that his blood vessels would explode.
Once he knew that Yuan Zhou had used such a national treasure to make a bowl rack, it would no longer be a matter of dismantling a table or building a house. Even if it was a bowl rack, even if Zhang Yan was a chef, he would probably have the thought of killing Zhou Shijie.
Yes, if Zhang Yan wanted to kill someone, he would naturally kill his old rival, Zhou Shijie. Even if he was furious, he still had some rationality in his heart. After all, Yuan Zhou was the hope of the younger generation of chefs, and the old Zhou Shijie was useless. Killing the wood sacrifice was just right.
Zhou Shijie was sure that if Zhang Yan knew about this, he would definitely do the same.
As if thinking about his own ending, Zhou Shijie couldn't help but say again, "Yuan, you have to keep this a secret. You can't let that old guy Zhang Yan know about this."
"He loves skewers very much," Zhou Shijie emphasized.
"I won't say it, but Chairman Zhang will know about it, right?" Yuan Zhou paused for a while and then said.
Hearing this, Zhou Shijie was stunned. It wasn't that Zhang Yan didn't pay any less attention to Yuan Zhou than him. It was only because he wasn't familiar with Carpenter Lian that he didn't know about it. However, who could guarantee that he wouldn't know about it in the future?
"I'll give Chairman Zhang a bead bracelet," Yuan Zhou said.
"No. That old brat is dreaming. He doesn't do anything but take advantage of a junior like you. No." Zhou Shijie refused immediately.
"Alright, you don't have to worry about this. I'm just saying. However, you really shouldn't tell anyone about this. This thing is too valuable." Zhou Shijie pointed at the wooden box on the table.
"Um. I use it to store the dishes. It's not open to the public," Yuan Zhou said.
"That's good. I'll add two more security guards to the front and back of Taoxi Road," Zhou Shijie said after thinking for a while.
"I don't think so. There are already security guards around Taoxi Road." Yuan Zhou shook his head.
Yuan Zhou still believed in the security of the system. After all, the famous food thief returned in failure last time.
"That won't do. There are only a few of them. If your wood is exposed, they won't be able to do anything." Zhou Shijie shook his head repeatedly and then said, "I'll find you some retired special forces soldiers. They should be able to do something."
"No need, Uncle Zhou," Yuan Zhou said.
"Do you know how much such a small box is worth?" Zhou Shijie rolled his eyes at Yuan Zhou and then said.
"…" Yuan Zhou didn't say anything. Instead, Zhou Shijie said, "A house. Based on what you said, the leftovers here are worth a house. How much do you think the five bowl-holders are worth?"
"The lock in my restaurant is pretty good." Yuan Zhou had to settle for the next best thing and said.
As the saying goes, a house in the downtown is worth a house in the downtown. It was even more impressive here. With one shelf, Yuan Zhou had many houses in the downtown.
"Alright. I know you are afraid of trouble. The people I find won't bother you. You can cook at ease." Zhou Shijie waved his hand and said.
"Don't worry too much. My place is not open to the public. Not many people know about it," Yuan Zhou said.
"I know what I'm doing." Zhou Shijie nodded. Then, he took the box and touched the surface of the box lovingly. "Then, Uncle Zhou, I'll accept your box shamelessly."
"You're welcome. You are my Uncle Zhou," Yuan Zhou said seriously.
"I'll pick you up for tea tomorrow afternoon," Zhou Shijie said without raising his head.
"Okay. I'll go back first." Yuan Zhou nodded.
"Do you want Xiaozhong to send you?" Zhou Shijie raised his head and asked.
"No need." Yuan Zhou shook his head.
"Okay. I won't keep you. Be careful on the way." Zhou Shijie nodded and then waved his hand.
"Okay. See you tomorrow, Uncle Zhou." After saying that, Yuan Zhou walked out of the office.
Zhou Shijie nodded and watched Yuan Zhou walk out of the office. Then, he lowered his head and touched the box gently, murmuring, "No wonder it's a thousand-year-old scented rosewood. Even a layman like me can't bear to part with it. The texture is really marvelous."
On the other side, Yuan Zhou was sent downstairs by Zhong Lili and hailed a taxi. Only after that did Zhong Lili go back upstairs again.
When Yuan Zhou got on the bus, he suddenly thought of something and directly told the driver to turn around and go to another street. That street was a street of incense, candles, and ingots. As the name suggested, this whole street was close to a temple in Chengdu that was full of incense and incense. These were all sold on this street.
Yuan Zhou got off the taxi and bought a box of incense from the biggest incense shop he frequented. Then, he hailed a taxi and went back.
This incense shop was frequented by Yuan Zhou because he bought the incense for his parents here. But this time, he bought a different kind of incense.
As soon as the taxi arrived at Taoxi Road, Yuan Zhou paid the fare and got off the taxi. Then, he went back to the restaurant from the back alley. As soon as he entered the restaurant, Yuan Zhou took the incense and went upstairs.
Only after he put down the incense did Yuan Zhou go downstairs again.
"It's 4: 30 in the afternoon now. I still have some time. Let me choose the wood first." Yuan Zhou checked the time and then went to the first floor of the pub.
The first floor of the pub was very spacious. The four corners of the pub were still filled with wine barrels. But now, there were some long things tightly wrapped in greasy cloth against the wall. Those were the bowl racks that hadn't been filled yet.
On the other side of the door, there was an ordinary wooden shelf with three items wrapped in greasy cloth placed on it.
Yuan Zhou walked over and opened the medium-sized bag. There were some pieces of wood inside, which were the leftover wood for the bowl racks.
The other bags were also made of wood. The smallest one was made of very small pieces of wood. The smaller ones could only be used to make bead bracelets and the like. The largest bag was made of yellow rosewood shavings. The medium-sized bag was made of slightly larger pieces of wood that could be used to make small boxes and other small things.
Yuan Zhou chose a cylindrical piece of wood and took it out after making a few gestures.
"This piece should be about the same size." Yuan Zhou chose the wood and then wrapped it in greasy cloth again.
As it was getting late, Yuan Zhou took the wood and put it on the table in the backyard. He didn't start carving immediately. Instead, he went back to his room to wash up.
After all, it was time to prepare the ingredients for dinner.
After washing up and changing his clothes, Yuan Zhou muttered to himself when he went downstairs, "This should be a good way to thank the system."
That's right. Yuan Zhou thought of a way to thank the system and planned to implement it after he finished cooking dinner.
"I hope the system won't be too touched by it." Yuan Zhou thought to himself.
