Weak Rebellion

Among the huanghuali trees that Jiang Mingkang had planted at the beginning, there was a rare quality one. Jiang Mingkang used nutrient solution to urge it up, and after so many days of growth, it is now as thick as a person.After adding some other large and small huanghuali trees, he felt that he could almost make a few pieces of furniture, so he gave Master Yu a call.

The ornament for Grandpa Jiang had already been carved, and Jiang Mingkang has been busy recently and has no time to get it, so he simply sent wood to Master Yu this time and brought it back along the way.

This time, Jiang Mingkang's logs were unloaded from the farming system to the warehouse in the town, and he found a trailer to tow them outside Master Yu's studio in the city.Master Yu is a carver, and his studio is a large warehouse, with a lot of wood inside and out, which is half-level with the work that has already begun to carve.

He also has rare wood here, but he has never seen Jiang Mingkang so proudly dragging a dozen big yellow pears at a time.If this huanghuali is a 30-year-old material that can be used quickly, the core material is only as thick as a finger. If you want to make furniture, you must use small wood to splice it.It is the first time that Jiang Mingkang has dragged so much to make furniture at one time, and it is the first time he has met Master Yu after working for so many years.

"Mingkang, these huanghuali are all wild." Master Yu stepped forward to look at the huanghuali that had just been unloaded.He couldn't put it down and touched it again and again, as if these huanghuali were his children and grandchildren.

"Yes, my friend bought these huanghuali pears from abroad. He bought a lot of them. I picked some up. I don't know how the core material is. Now, the cut surface on the outside is still very good." Jiang Mingkang The ordinary core material of these huanghuali pears dragged here is also the size of a fist, and the core material of his rare variety has a diameter of at least forty centimeters.Such a large core material is extremely rare in China.

For wood like chrysanthemum pear, before it is completely cut, it is inaccurate just to look at the size of the outer core material. Every tree has its own growth process. Maybe halfway through its growth, the core material will be crooked or hollow. , No one knows what the tree looks like until it is completely cut out.So now there are a lot of bets on huanghuali.If you are lucky, a tree as thick as an arm can make you a lot of money. If you are unlucky, a huanghuali tree as thick as a person will be as thick as a little finger at most without the white skin.

Master Yu has come into contact with a lot of wood. Jiang Mingkang said that these chrysanthemum pears came from abroad. He is also skeptical. He has seen many chrysanthemum pears from home and abroad, but he has never seen one that is similar in texture to the one in Jiang Mingkang’s hand. It can only be said that the world is full of wonders.

The workers in the studio are all experienced craftsmen, and the speed of peeling the white skin of huanghuali is super fast. Jiang Mingkang only felt that the bark was flying around in the yard, and a few thinner huanghuali trees were peeled off in a short while. , exposing the core material inside.

Master Yu estimated some of these core materials and the size of the core materials produced later, and was first surprised.Jiang Mingkang's batch of huanghuali is simply against the sky. Although these core materials cannot be used for large-scale furniture, they can still make a lot of small-style furniture.If this is sold on the market, the price may be hundreds of millions.Master Yu has met many rich people, and never thought that he would meet such a special young man in a city like Qingyang City.It's unbelievable that a young man with simple clothes, simple speech, and no trace of extravagance can sell huanghuali worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

"Mingkang, what kind of furniture do you want to make? I'm thinking about making a tea table for drinking tea with these huanghuali, and a kang cabinet." Master Yu suggested.

"Master Yu, can you open this big chrysanthemum pear tree first? I want to make a canopy bed, imitating Ming's style. It doesn't need to be too big, just the size of a double bed." Jiang Mingkang expressed his thoughts.He had thought about Master Yu's suggestion a long time ago. This huanghuali is too precious. If he made large furniture, it would be a bit eye-catching.

Some families in Qingyang City who have kangs still continue the custom of making a whole kang cabinet on one side of the kang. There are large and small ones. Small objects.If his huanghuali is made into such a small kang cabinet, it should be possible. After all, the kang cabinet is small and uses less wood.

"If you make a canopy bed, it's really just a canopy." Master Yu said, walking around the biggest huanghuali tree.The ancient canopy beds are not as simple as they are now. They usually have a large area of ​​hollow decoration. The huanghuali in front of me obviously can’t make that kind of style. The base below and several uprights around it.

"It's okay. I've seen some canopy beds made of rare wood before, and they are all very beautiful. I don't care if they don't have those hollow decorations." Jiang Mingkang said.The idea of ​​this canopy bed still comes from his life in that remote town in his previous life. He was poor at that time and didn’t even have a decent bed. In the end, he bought a dilapidated canopy bed from a fellow villager. Don't look dilapidated, but it's really solid. The bed hasn't been damaged since he's lived there for so long.

"Okay, you like canopy beds so much, then let's see if we can make one." Master Yu called two skilled masters over to remove the white skin. The huanghuali tree is thick, and the core board inside is also very large. Now he is a little worried, whether there will be holes in such a large core board. If there are holes, let alone a canopy bed, even a small jewelry box cannot make a pair.

The masters who removed the white skin were very skilled. One of them held a toolbox in his hand, which contained more than a dozen extremely sharp knives, and replaced them one by one. The white skin was almost gone soon.

In the spare time of Baipi, Master Yu came over with a notebook and a ruler, and quickly drew the drawings. He made countless canopy beds, and he could draw the drawings even with his eyes closed.An assistant kept measuring the various sizes of the huanghuali with a ruler, and occasionally drew a few lines on it with the ruler.

When the masters removed the white skin to reveal the core material inside, the work on Master Yu's side has also been completed.

"Look, how about this style." Master Yu handed the design drawings in his hand to Jiang Mingkang himself to see the newly released huanghuali core material.

"No problem, that's all for Master Yu." Jiang Mingkang just took a look at the blueprint, and he liked it very much. The master is the master, and the canopy bed on this blueprint is many times better than the canopy bed he used to have.

"Then let's start cutting the core material. After this cut, I don't regret taking the medicine." Master Yu finally asked.

"Well, no regrets."

The cutting machine was humming, and Jiang Mingkang and Master Yu were not afraid of the dust, and gathered around waiting for the result.For better or worse, the result can be seen in a few minutes.

A piece of huanghuali core material was cut into three parts, and the master stepped forward to look at it inch by inch, usually looking at the cut surface and exclaiming, "Your huanghuali is the best. It is smooth and smooth, like jade and water. It is really rare." treasures."

Jiang Mingkang didn't care if it was a treasure or not, he just wanted to know if his canopy bed was good or not.

"Master Yu is my canopy bed." Jiang Mingkang was a little anxious. After waiting for a long time, Master Yu just looked at the wood and didn't speak.

"No problem. It is definitely no problem to make a canopy bed with such a large piece of core material. By the way, have you bought the root material of this tree? Such a good huanghuali root material can make a very beautiful root carving."

"Really? The root materials are in the warehouse. I'll send them to you some other day." Jiang Mingkang was relieved when he heard that he could make a canopy bed. As for the remaining root materials, he could do whatever he wanted.

Jiang Mingkang stayed at Master Yu's place all day, and came out of Master Yu's studio after 9 o'clock in the evening. When he came out, he brought a list of sky-high processing fees.His huanghuali is good, and the processing fee is also very beautiful.Jiang Mingkang's wallet was instantly deflated.

"You're back." Xu Lang asked who was reading a magazine in the living room.

"Well, I'm almost exhausted, I'm going to take a shower first, I'm covered in dirt." After staying in Master Yu's studio for a day, Jiang Mingkang felt that his body was covered in dirt and sawdust.

"Hurry up and wash it. I'll come out later to look at the furniture. I've chosen a few sets. You can help me make up my mind."

"Okay, let's take a look together later."

Jiang Mingkang hurried to take a bath, but he didn't see Xu Lang's wicked smile. All the soft furnishings in this villa were chosen according to Jiang Mingkang's preferences. Maybe Jiang Mingkang didn't realize it himself. Xu Lang looked at the house, but it was more like two people decorating a wedding room together.

The two chatted for a long time in the living room, talking and wondering when Jiang Mingkang fell asleep. He half leaned on the sofa, holding a set of sofa brochures in his hand.Xu Lang glanced at Jiang Mingkang, whose clothes were slightly disheveled, and his Adam's apple moved slightly.He really doesn't know how to say that Jiang Mingkang is good, he clearly knows that he likes him, but now he is still falling asleep defenselessly in front of him, does he trust him too much, or is he expecting him to do something?

Thinking about it, Xu Lang can only live his addiction quietly. He really wants to live with Jiang Mingkang instead of just being irresponsible in a relationship.

Gently carried him into the bedroom, covered the quilt, Xu Lang sat by the bed for a while, then turned off the light and went out.

The moment the light was turned off, Jiang Mingkang opened his eyes, and when Xu Lang hugged him, he woke up.He didn't know why he had to pretend to be asleep. He was expecting something, but also afraid.It's not that he's afraid of having sex with Xu Lang, but that Xu Lang is just like the men he once knew, feeling that going to bed is a common thing, and having sex is as simple as drinking saliva.Of course breaking up is easier than drinking water.He didn't want such feelings at all.

Since Xu Lang confessed his love last time, Jiang Mingkang was still a little uncomfortable at first, but the discomfort of seeing each other every day has disappeared.He is a bit like an ostrich, and he really can't give any response to this matter for the time being.On the one hand, there are problems at home, and on the other hand, it is himself. He is not ready to accept a relationship.As for what happened to Han Rui, it was completely an accident. He was blinded by the once innocent first love in his heart, and he never thought about what would happen if he and Han Rui were together, nor did he think about the two of them if he came out Can afford it.

When he saw Han Rui and Lu Ming together, he woke up instantly. For him now, love is a luxury for him. He can't give it to anyone, and he can't accept it from others.

Meeting the wrong person at the wrong time is destined to have no fate.
