Chapter 1288 Wooden Plan
Although he looked unhappy when he was demolishing it, he was only unhappy when facing Yuan Zhou. Once the two of them looked at the wood on the ground, they smiled again.
That gentle look is really comparable to when he was chasing his wife. Anyway, that's how Ma Xiao looks now.
The three of them dismantled the wood very quickly. Although the carpenter except Yuan Zhou did not let Ma Xiao dismantle the wood alone, four pieces of wood that had been dormant for a hundred years were revealed again in just twenty minutes.
It was a coincidence that the sun, which came out less and less after the weather got colder, suddenly shone down, and the golden and bright sunlight suddenly filled the entire yard.
"The sun actually came out." Yuan Zhou thought to himself.
But before Yuan Zhou could sigh with emotion, Carpenter Lian on the side said quickly: "You two, go and get some sunshade cloth. This cannot be exposed to the sun."
"Okay, master, we'll go right away." Ma Xiao responded much faster than Yuan Zhou.
"Okay." Yuan Zhou nodded and took Ma Xiao to the first floor of the tavern.
The first floor is empty. Except for some wine barrels, there are actually piles of sunshade cloths in the corner. Yuan Zhou bought them in the summer and put them here without using them.
But when the two of them took the sunshade to the backyard, the sun couldn't reach the backyard due to time constraints. It had already moved to the roof of the backyard, leaving just enough shadow.
"What are you doing standing there? You can't see that. Let's see what you do with the wood." Even the carpenter saw the two apprentices looking at him and immediately said in a gruff voice with dissatisfaction.
"This is your own wood. Yuanzhou, come over and see what kind of bowl rack you want to make." Carpenter Lian added.
"Okay, master." Yuan Zhou nodded, first put down the sunshade cloth in his hand, and then walked to Lian Carpenter.
Yuanzhou had already made a plan in his mind. He looked at the fragrant wood that was peeled off and said, "It's like this. I'm going to open up the shop next to the tavern, and then make a high shelf with a spiral staircase around it." Plant, put some things that are not used temporarily on the upper layer, and then put them down one by one."
"I have a lot of ideas." Lian Carpenter muttered, and then said directly: "Take me to see the situation inside your small building."
"It's not that I have many ideas, it's mainly that I don't have much wood." Yuan Zhou said seriously.
"Go away." Lian Carpenter slapped Yuan Zhou on the shoulder angrily.
Even the carpenter's hands are not as good as Yuan Zhou's. His hands are thick and strong due to long-term carpentry work. His palms are thick and rough, and there are even some prickly calluses.
Although he was very angry, Lian Carpenter's slap was merciful and did not hurt Yuan Zhou. Therefore, Yuanzhou didn't take it seriously and smiled gently at Lian Carpenter, and led the people to the next door.
Ma Xiao was following behind and wanted to take a look together, but after taking only two steps, Lian Carpenter turned around and stared at him: "What are you following? You are in the way."
"I'm going to check it out too so I can put on some show." Ma Xiao said innocently.
"What are you looking at? You're going to strike today, it's not your turn to take action." Lian Carpenter waved his hand in disgust.
"But..." Ma Xiao wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Lian Carpenter.
"But what, you just look at the wood here, they are much more important than you, stay still." Lian Carpenter waved his hand directly, and then pointed to the huanghuali on the ground.
Lian Carpenter couldn't be cruel to Yuan Zhou, but he was so rough with Ma Xiao.
This is like how a father treats his son who is the top scholar in liberal arts and his two sons who are rough in martial arts. Both are good apprentices, but one has to be polite, but the other is not.
"Okay." Ma Xiao agreed reluctantly, and then looked at the wood.
"Excuse me, junior brother." Yuan Zhou said politely.
"No trouble, the master is right, such a valuable thing really needs to be watched." Ma Xiao shook his head and said immediately.
"Ignore him, go check out the placement and try to make the prototype of the shelf today." Carpenter Lian strode towards the cherry shrimp wall view door.
Yuan Zhou took Lian Carpenter out of the house and walked directly to the vacant shop, where workers were currently renovating it.
It didn't affect the two of them from looking at the size and layout of the house. Yuanzhou also explained how to place the dish racks.
Carpenter Lian carefully measured the dimensions and recorded them. After doing this, the two returned to the backyard of the tavern.
"Your two-story building is self-built, with a total floor height of seven meters. As you said, you don't want the second floor to be connected directly. The shelf must be six meters long, and then it needs to be raised up to make a frame, which is six meters two. It looks like that." Carpenter Lian pointed to the wood on the ground and said.
"Yes." Yuan Zhou nodded.
"A piece of wood here can make about one and a half open-shelf dish racks, and there are still some scraps left." Carpenter Lian measured the wood and then made an estimate.
"Then do it in an open position." Yuan Zhou said.
"Well, I'll make exactly five dish racks. In addition to the four corners, a strange-style dish rack can be placed on the middle staircase. When the time comes, I will make the last dish rack according to your newly built stairs." Carpenter Lian said quickly.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Master." Yuan Zhou said.
"That's natural. If you let others come, they won't dare to touch your wood." Lian Carpenter said angrily.
"That's because no one else can master your skills." Yuan Zhou said seriously.
"Huh." Lian Carpenter snorted, but his expression softened and he looked happy.
Lian Carpenter naturally felt comfortable with Yuan Zhou's compliment.
"What are you doing in a daze? You are responsible for delivering the tools today and don't touch the wood. Xiao Yuan, you can help when you have time." The happy carpenter Lian turned around and saw the dull Ma Xiao, and immediately started yelling.
"Yes, Master." Ma Xiao didn't complain after being yelled at. Just like what the carpenter said, he really didn't dare to touch such a precious piece of wood if he was given it.
To put it bluntly, this bowl rack looks simple, but it must be formed at one time, and because the heartwood of huanghuali wood has its own pattern, it must be cut and arranged according to the pattern. If it is not done well, or If it was done badly, Ma Xiao felt that he really wasn't as valuable as the wood, and to put it bluntly, he couldn't afford to pay for it.
Now that he can watch his master do it and help Ma Xiao on the side, he is very satisfied.
Just do what you say. Even Carpenter and Yuan Zhou are action people. After making arrangements, they started to do it.
No matter how much the carpenter felt at first that this precious wood had to be used to make a dish rack, and he didn't even dare to touch it, when it was done, the carpenter started cutting the wood without shaking his hands.
The sound of "嗗嗗" kept sounding. This was when Lian Carpenter saw the position and started cutting directly.
"This is a peacock pattern. It is indeed good wood." Carpenter Lian's face was soothing and he admired, but he continued to work without stopping.
When you open it all, you can see the beautiful patterns of pear wood. The patterns are not like ordinary grimaces, but rare peacock patterns, which are very clear and beautiful.
Time passed very quickly, and the three of them worked very quickly, without taking a break all morning. By the time Yuan Zhou went upstairs to wash up and prepare ingredients for lunch, the wood had already been preliminarily cut.
When the lunch time in Yuanzhou's store ended, Carpenter Lian and Ma Xiao in the backyard did not take a break. When Yuan Zhou passed by, Carpenter Lian had already begun to dig out the outline of the dish rack.
Of course, during this period, the outer layer of corroded white skin had already been carefully rubbed away by Lian Carpenter.
