My super cowardly system

Chapter 139 Agarwood

The master carpenter was stunned: "Too cheap?"

Li Rourou nodded seriously and said: "Yes, I have seen a lot of sculptures since I entered the door just now. These wood carvings are clearly made by your master. With this quality, let alone fifty, even if it is five thousand, I’m willing to learn too!”

"Five thousand?!"

The carpenter was completely taken aback.

Who is this girl? Does the family have a mine, or does the family live in the mine?

Learned how to carve, and was willing to give five thousand.

Even if he has a rich family, he can't stand such a prodigal family, right?

Li Rourou has long discovered that the wood carvings carved by this master carpenter are indeed better than the wood carvings seen in the market outside, especially the three wood carvings placed in the innermost part of the room are really lifelike.

If she can make that kind of finished wood carving herself and give it to dad as a birthday present, dad will definitely be happy.

As long as her father can be happy, let alone 5000 yuan, she will be willing to pay 50 yuan or [-] yuan.

"By the way, Master Chen, when we came here just now, my friend said that there are different types of wood for woodcarving. In other words, do you have many kinds of wood here?" Li Rourou asked while looking at the woodcarvings around. road.

The master carpenter already knew that this girl was a miner, so naturally he would not neglect it, and quickly explained:

"That's right, I don't have many other things in my dilapidated house, but there are many types of wood. I have all the more common wood on the market now, and I also have some rarer ones here. You can see which one you want."

Li Rourou didn't even think about it, she said directly: "I want the most expensive one."

He Xiaofan: "..."

The master carpenter clapped his hands, laughed loudly, and said, "Okay! Miss, you really found the right person!"

As he spoke, he turned and walked towards his room. After a few minutes, he came out with a long wooden box in his arms.

Carefully putting down the wooden box, the carpenter clapped his hands and said, "This is the most precious wood here."

When the wooden box was opened, a refreshing and unique woody fragrance emanated instantly, even directly covering the original woody fragrance in the room!

"This wood is called agarwood, and it is the oily part of the dried woody wood of the Daphneaceae plant. It is a wood, but it is also often used in spices and traditional Chinese medicine."

""Compendium of Materia Medica" also records agarwood. Agarwood has strong antibacterial effect, aroma enters the spleen, clears the mind and qi, nourishes the five internal organs, relieves cough and phlegm, warms the stomach and spleen, ventilates and relieves pain, and can be used as medicine. It is a first-class medicinal material Excellent."

"It can be said that the existence of this kind of wood itself is a very precious item. When it was auctioned abroad, it was auctioned at a sky-high price of [-] US dollars per kilogram!"

The first time Li Rourou saw this piece of agarwood, she didn't look away at all, she was obviously very fond of this piece of wood.

He Xiaofan shook his head helplessly, originally he was here to carve a wooden sculpture, why did he suddenly buy wood?
"Then Master Chen, this piece of wood looks quite heavy, how much are you going to sell it for?" He Xiaofan asked, not forgetting to add: "Master Chen, we are all acquaintances, don't think we are students, just want to kill us." Us."

"Hi!" Master Chen waved his hand and said, "My surname is Chen. I have been a carpenter all my life, but I have never slaughtered anyone. Don't worry."

Glancing at Li Rourou, the carpenter thought for a while and said, "Actually, I've been collecting this piece of wood for a long time, and it's because it's too expensive, so I'm really worried about letting me use this piece of wood for woodcarving." Can't bear it."

"But you let me keep it like this, it's really a waste, so I just plan to sell it recently, sell some money, and then I can leave it for my son to get married and buy a house use."

"So if you really want it, then I'll give you a cost price of 20 yuan for this piece of wood. I won't accept any more and I won't sell any less, but you have to promise me that this piece of wood must be paid for." Use a knife to carve with me, and you can't take it out and resell it."

Li Rourou didn't even think about it, and said directly: "Okay, I promise you, 20, I want it."

He Xiaofan: "..."

When Carpenter Chen heard this, he gave a thumbs up immediately, and said, "Little girl is bright, I like dealing with people like you! Since you are so forthright, little girl, then I won't be stingy. I will give you free of charge for the labor cost, and the wood you used for practice before carving!"

He Xiaofan couldn't help but shook his head again, and sighed: 20, that's 20!

Just a piece of broken wood, if it were He Xiaofan, even if you sold it to him for 20 yuan, he would not take it.

Li Rourou smiled slightly, and said: "Master Chen, please give me a bank card number, and I will ask someone to give you money right away."

"Okay!" Master Chen immediately cheerfully prepared to go back to the room to look for the bank card.

But He Xiaofan suddenly interrupted: "Wait a minute."

Li Rourou and Carpenter Chen looked at him at the same time.

I saw He Xiaofan put the small suitcase in his hand on the ground, gently opened it, then took out 20 stacks of hundred-yuan bills from inside, and pushed it to Carpenter Chen.

"Her 20, I'll help her out, just cash it, okay?" He Xiaofan said.

The carpenter looked at the pile of money in his hand, was stunned for a moment, nodded immediately and said: "Yes, please wait for me first, I will be right back."

After finishing speaking, Carpenter Chen ran towards his house, not knowing whether he was going to hide the money or go to inspect the banknotes.

Li Rourou stood aside, a little surprised and said: "Xiaofan, that's not you"

He Xiaofan clutched his chest, said: "Don't talk now, let me calm down for a while, my heart hurts a little."

"Oh~" Li Rourou stood aside obediently, looking at him quietly.

After a while, He Xiaofan finally regained his composure, and said: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not because of you, nor because of your father."

"I just felt that I didn't participate in the last and most critical part of this Martial Arts Conference, so I didn't get the bonus reliably, so I gave you 20 yuan."

"After this time, we'll be clear!"

Li Rourou giggled and said, "Okay~ I know."

When Carpenter Chen came out again, his face was rosy and glowing, obviously confirming the authenticity of the piles of hundred-yuan bills.

Now he looked at He Xiaofan and Li Rourou, he couldn't help becoming gentle, and said with a smile: "I kept you two waiting for a long time, I don't have any important things here, when can the little girl start learning?"

Li Rourou thought for a while and said, "Just now, I want to feel it first."

Carpenter Chen nodded and said, "Carving is a skill that is very difficult to master and requires great perseverance and patience. If you just want to carve a birthday present, you can do it in less than a week. I will give it to you here." There are still a lot of wood for beginners, and all the tools are here, you can get started first to find out the feeling.”

"Okay, then I'll give it a try."
