Chapter 1285: A familiar fragrance
The wood that was revealed from the oilcloth that Yuan Zhou had unwrapped was actually only about 40 centimeters in diameter. However, the premise was that the wood was the yellow Rosewood that was worth tens of thousands of gold, let alone the sandalwood.
Even if Yuan Zhou had never seen the scented Rosewood with his own eyes, the wood on the ground clearly told him that it was the legendary wood of the second class National protected plant, the sea. Southern Yellow Rosewood.
“System, the remaining three are all from this?” Yuan Zhou pointed at the wood on the ground and felt that his heart was deeply shocked.
The system displayed,”naturally, it’s better to use the same wood for the shelves.”
Not knowing why, Yuan Zhou saw a carefree and unconcerned feeling in this line of words.
As a future master chef who had seen many things and was knowledgeable, Yuan Zhou continued to ask calmly,””How old is this piece of wood?”
Yuan Zhou had originally wanted to ask if it was a new material or an old one, but when he saw the degree of decay of the outer skin, he directly swallowed the obvious fact and asked about the age of the wood instead.
The system displayed,”incense wood is also known as the sea.” Southern Yellow sandalwood, sea. Southern daylily pear wood or sandalwood, which grows on islands with a tropical monsoon climate. In the hot and rainy growing season, the material part is wider and the color is slightly lighter. During the dry and cool period, the wood part is slightly darker or very dark. ”
“Due to its unique climate and slow growth period, it will form a unique scar phenomenon when it encounters harsh weather, which is the legendary ‘Ghost Face’ pattern.”
“On the other hand, the growth of scented Rosewood is slow. Artificial planting starts from the growth of the seedling and only begins to form the heartwood after 15 years. The diameter of a 20-year-old tree is 17 20 cm, and the diameter of the heartwood is only 2 5 cm. No heartwood can not become a tree, and wild scented Rosewood needs 100 years to grow.”
…
“The system only provides wild yellow Rosewood.”
“Thank you,” she said. Yuan Zhou felt both happy and depressed in his heart, but he still insisted on asking,””So, system, how many years of fragrant Rosewood are you providing?”
The system displayed,”the yellow Rosewood provided by the system is purple and grows on the hillside 35 meters below sea level. Its color is soft, the pattern is beautiful after cutting, and the fragrance is like that of roses. The wood is warm and moist to the touch, the material is stable, the hardness and weight are appropriate, and it is suitable for making furniture.”
“Therefore, the heartwood provided by the system is a thousand-year yellow Rosewood.”
“Cough, cough, cough.” Yuan Zhou choked on his own saliva.
“A thousand years?!” Yuan Zhou said.
The system displayed,”yes.”
“Do you have the proof?” Yuan Zhou’s first reaction was to ask.
“I remember that the yellow Rosewood is a second-class protected plant in the country. It’s a crime to cut it down privately, not to mention that yours is a thousand-year-old one.” Yuan Zhou felt that what was lying on the ground were four big gold bars that were 15 meters long and 40 centimeters in diameter.
No, it could be said that the gold bar had underestimated the value of these old logs. It should be said that they were four diamonds this big.
The system displayed,[all the procedures are complete. The host doesn’t need to worry.]
“That’s good. ” Yuan Zhou wasn’t surprised to get the answer that he expected.
After all, the system even had transaction records for those precious ingredients whose origins he didn’t even know. Therefore, he wasn’t worried at all. However, as a law-abiding citizen, Yuan Zhou indicated that he was just asking for the routine and thus wasn’t worried at all.
“Where did you get this thousand year scented Rosewood? I remember there’s no scented Rosewood on the market, unless it’s Vietnam scented Rosewood.” Yuan Zhou continued to ask.
The system displayed,”this scented Rosewood is from Hainan and not from Vietnam. The logging certificate was collected by the system a hundred years ago. The host doesn’t need to worry.”
“After logging, the system preserved it in the most suitable ancient way. Now, it’s reserved and rich, and can be used as furniture.”
“Since it’s something from a hundred years ago, where did you get it from now?” Yuan Zhou said.
The system displayed,[host, you don’t have enough authority. Please work hard to level up and become the master chef as soon as possible.]
“Hehe.” Yuan Zhou looked at the fragrant 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 be so angry that he 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 on the ground with the other hand.
It couldn’t be helped. It was also Yuan Zhou’s first time seeing the legendary precious wood. As expected, even if it hadn’t been polished or waxed, it still felt warm and comfortable to the touch.
“I don’t know if it’s too late to find other wood to replace it.” Yuan Zhou said inwardly.
Although they hadn’t known each other for long, Yuan Zhou knew that Carpenter Lian was an experienced Carpenter. He really loved good wood, just like how he couldn’t walk when he saw the vegetable market and had to go in for a stroll.
However, just as Yuan Zhou was thinking about that, Carpenter Lian’s energetic voice came from the restaurant,””Little Yuan, we’ve arrived.”
“I hope master’s heart is not bad.” Yuan Zhou muttered to himself and then got rid of the expression on his face. He then walked out of the Sergestes wall landscape door with a carefree manner.
As soon as he went out, Yuan Zhou saw Carpenter Lian wearing his usual blue coarse work uniform and a pair of comfortable black cloth shoes with layered soles. He was also holding a small tool box in his hand.
It was obvious that Carpenter Lian was really prepared to help Yuan Zhou make the rack. Ma Xiao, on the other hand, was holding a big tool box in each hand and carrying a big saw on his back. He was also wearing his work uniform.
“Master, Junior Brother MA, you’re early.” Yuan Zhou said courteously.
It wasn’t early. The breakfast time ended at 9:00 am. Yuan Zhou didn’t even go upstairs to wash up and directly went to look at the wood in the courtyard. It was only 9:30 am now. He didn’t come very early. He came according to the time.
“Of course, your master still takes your matter to heart.” Carpenter Lian was not as reserved as Zhou Shijie. He said directly.
Ma Xiao, who was by the side, nodded his head repeatedly. It was not because of shangxin, but because his disciple could only be a helper now.
“Thank you, master.” Yuan Zhou felt warm in his heart and said.
“What are you thanking me for? quickly take me to see the good wood you were talking about.” Carpenter Lian waved his hand and said directly.
“Yes, I also want to see what kind of good wood brother Yuan uses.” Ma Xiao chimed in from the side.
Yuan Zhou thought of the wood that was placed randomly in the backyard and felt his heart tighten. However, he still maintained a straight face naturally.
“I wonder if master will beat me up when he sees how the system is so casually placed. It seems that I have to adapt to the situation.” Yuan Zhou said inwardly.
Speaking of which, the tavern was the largest of the few shops. After all, it used to be a teahouse. The place was large and empty. Otherwise, the backyard would not have been able to fit the four 15-meter-long logs.
“Let’s go, let’s go. I want to see what good wood you got. ” Carpenter Lian also needed someone to lead the way. He walked straight into the Sergestes wall-view.
Carpenter Lian had been to this small courtyard a few times. He knew that the item 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,””Little Yuan, the smell on your body today is quite familiar.”
It wasn’t familiar, it was the rich and light wood fragrance of the old fragrant Rosewood that didn’t dissipate for a long time.
‘I’m going to die …’
