Chapter 1289: The overqualified Carpenter Lian

By the time Yuan Zhou arrived at the backyard, Carpenter Lian had already completed the frames of several bowl holders. However, the ground was unusually clean.

In general, carpentry required cutting wood. Then, whether it was for the support or the middle Division, a plane was needed to level the wood.

At this time, the ground would naturally be piled with wood shavings. But now, there was not even a bit of leftover material on the ground. It was very clean.

That’s right, Yuan Zhou didn’t even see any rotten wood chips on the ground.

“Senior brother, you’re here.” Ma Xiao first greeted.

At the side, Carpenter Lian was seriously measuring the size of the wood he had cut with his head lowered. He did not raise his head.

“I’ll help when I’m done over there. ” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

“Oh, my master asked me to use this to store the wood chips. Senior brother, do you think it’s okay?” Seeing that Carpenter Lian did not need any help for the time being, Ma Xiao immediately pointed at a few new bamboo dustpans in the yard.

The bamboo winnowing baskets were green in color and each of them was the size of a grinding disc. Originally, Yuan Zhou had wove them himself in the summer and stored them on the first floor of the pub. There were only six winnowing baskets in total.

But now, all of them had been taken out, and the missing bits and pieces of wood and wood were placed on it, each of which was neatly arranged.

The wood shavings were put into a dustpan, and the leftovers were put into another dustpan. The leftovers were also sorted according to their sizes.

“Sure.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

“That’s good. The rest of the things are good stuff too. We can’t lose them.” Ma Xiao heaved a sigh of relief and said seriously.

“It’s good stuff. ” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

“Hmph, if you know it’s good stuff, why didn’t you take it?” At this moment, Carpenter Lian raised his head and said in an unpleasant tone.

“But I have you, master.” Yuan Zhou turned his head and said.

“Get over here and help. The earlier I finish, the earlier I can leave.” After Carpenter Lian finished speaking, he paused for a moment and mumbled to himself,””So that I won’t get angry when I see you.”

Ma Xiao couldn’t help laughing. Yuan Zhou, who had always had sharp hearing, pretended not to hear him and directly went over to help.

The afternoon was long. As he needed to make the bowl rack, Yuan Zhou didn’t go out to sculpt. He spent the whole afternoon in the backyard of the pub.

What was rare was that when Wu Hai, who was on the second floor of the opposite building, saw that Yuan Zhou didn’t appear for the whole afternoon, he probably didn’t smell the fragrance and thus didn’t come to look for him after knowing that Yuan Zhou wasn’t cooking.

Carpenter Lian made an open-style bowl rack according to Yuan Zhou’s request. Such a bowl rack was a piece of cake for an experienced Carpenter like carpenter Lian.

No, it was not even considered proper furniture. If it were not for the excellent quality of the wood used to make the bowl rack, Carpenter Lian would not have bothered to do such a small task. Such small tasks were usually given to Carpenter apprentices to practice their skills. Even Ma Xiao would not do such a simple task.

Therefore, after one morning and half an afternoon, Carpenter Lian managed to complete the frame of all five bowl stands, one of which was a deformed one.

The reason why it took so long was because the material used was yellow Rosewood. When he was making it, Carpenter Lian was extremely careful. If it were any other day, he would be able to finish all five bowl holders in less than an afternoon.

The rough shape of the yellow rosewood bowl frame was a magnificent purple. It was still a little rough because it hadn’t been polished with sandpaper, but it didn’t affect its beauty.

One could clearly see the beautiful peacock pattern on it. For example, Carpenter Lian had been very careful to leave a complete peacock pattern on the pillar of the bowl rack. From a distance, it looked like the pillar was wrapped with many different peacocks.

Peacock patterns were also growing on the flat wooden shelves. If one looked closely, they could even see a Peacock with a different shape on each wooden board.

“I’ve already completed the mortises and tenons. When will you be done with the renovation?” Carpenter Lian said as he looked at the bowl rack on top of the greasy cloth.

“There should be two more days. I asked them to paint the walls with quick-drying paint. There were no decorations on the walls, so it was done very quickly. It mainly took some time to clear the second floor and then fix it.” Yuan Zhou explained.

“What decorations do you need? these are the best decorations.” Carpenter Lian pointed at the bowl rack on the ground and said.

“Yes, I think so too,” Yuan Zhou added.

“Hmph,” he snorted. Carpenter Lian snorted coldly and didn’t say anything.

“All that’s left is to use sandpaper to Polish it. This has to be done slowly. Slow work will produce fine work.” Carpenter Lian wiped his hands and walked around the bowl rack that was covered with an oily cloth.

“Okay, master, we’ll Polish it tomorrow.” Yuan Zhou looked at the sky and then said.

“Of course. I’ll Polish it tomorrow,” Carpenter Lian nodded and continued,””Since we’re going to use the saw today, we’ll make some small things so that you won’t ruin the good stuff again.”

“Are you talking about the scraps over there?” Yuan Zhou pointed at the dustpan filled with wood materials of different sizes and said.

“Yes, I’ll make a small box out of the big one for you. You can use it to store the wood shavings. The wood shavings are good stuff too. Keep them well.” Carpenter Lian said.

“Alright,” he said. Yuan Zhou agreed readily.

In fact, even if Carpenter Lian didn’t tell him to do so, Yuan Zhou would have done the same as well. That was because he had already planned to let Carpenter Lian deal with the leftover materials.

Even though Carpenter Lian was not a sculptor, he was an experienced one. He could make exquisite little things, and these exquisite little things would fulfill his wish of collecting them.

Carpenter Lian could not bear to destroy such a precious wood. Therefore, he paid special attention to the leftover materials when he cut them.

However, because the inner pattern of the heartwood was very beautiful, even if the outer skin had rotted and peeled off, when one looked at the outer wood of the heartwood, one would find that the yellow Rosewood provided by the system was only very straight in general, but the actual outer layer was still full of potholes and not so smooth and straight.

It was these imperfections that created the beautiful peacock pattern on the inside. Therefore, none of the three people present despised it. They just carefully removed the outer imperfection and flattened it, finally revealing the inner pattern.

The skill required to make the bowl rack was really not that high. In the remaining half of the afternoon, which was when the bowl rack was completed, Carpenter Lian once again showed Yuan Zhou his high level of carpentry skills.

From threeo’ clock to FiveO’ clock and two hours later, Carpenter Lian was very fast. His hands were very steady as he made five boxes of different sizes that were combined with mortises and didn’t use any nail or glue. They looked like tissue boxes.

And Yuan Zhou made three such small cases.

Naturally, Ma Xiao was not allowed to do anything. He kept passing the tools to the two and watched them work. He did not look impatient at all. Instead, he looked very serious.

“Master, please stay for dinner.” After Yuan Zhou said that, he added without waiting for Carpenter Lian to answer,””You ate bread at noon, so you can’t eat casually for dinner. I’ll cook a meal for you after the business hours are over.”

“That’s good. Since you’re going to open a shop, I’ll Polish this wooden box.” After Yuan Zhou said that, Carpenter Lian didn’t refuse him. He just nodded and agreed.

“Okay, then I’ll have to trouble Junior Brother to take care of master. I’ll go open a shop.” Yuan Zhou said to Ma Xiao.

“Senior brother, don’t worry.” Ma Xiao quickly agreed.

Then, Yuan Zhou got up and opened the door of the backyard. After that, he went upstairs to wash up.

After all, he had been working as a Carpenter for an entire afternoon. Even though Yuan Zhou knew that the system would clean up automatically, he still didn’t directly pass through the kitchen that was full of kitchenware and ingredients. Instead, he went upstairs directly from the back door.
