For Zhang Laifu, who often deals with the main materials of wood, you can tell that it can be judged by just one glance, touch, and smell. Especially for the section just opened, the fragrance-reducing smell is something that ordinary wood does not have.
"Master, do you know if this wood can be used as a pen holder?"
Zhang Laifu glanced at Zhong Yue and said slowly: "Ayue, do you know the value of Hailan Huanghuali? I don't think it's appropriate."
Zhong Yue frowned, "Why isn't it suitable?"
"It's a waste to make a pen." Zhang Laifu was originally thinking that his little brother had cheated Zhong Yue, but now he knew about the yellow rosewood wood, he couldn't help but feel sorry for Liu Erpang. He played with the wood for a lifetime, but was picked up by a naughty green man. "If these pieces of wood are sold to some wood merchants, they can be worth at least 30,000 to 40,000 yuan. At present, the price of this sea yellow has been sold to 30 million yuan per ton. Your wooden rack weighs at least 30 pounds."
It’s a pity that there is no pattern on this wooden stand, and it is painted with heavy paint, completely covering up the original pattern of Huanghuali, so it can only be sold as wood. But then again, if it weren’t for this reason, Zhong Yue wouldn’t have picked up this cheap one.
"Just carry the pen holder!"
Zhong Yue gritted his teeth. Now for him, completing the novice task is the most important thing. Without spending a lot of money, how could he complete this novice task so easily?
When Zhang Laifu heard Zhong Yue’s decisive answer, he said, “Okay, then I’ll help you.”
"Don't, Master, just watch from the side, I'll come by myself."
Zhang Laifu's face showed a painful expression, "I'm afraid you will be in trouble. Such expensive wood will be dozens or hundreds of times, don't you feel heartbroken?"
"I can't bear to bear the child and can't trap the wolf!"
"Ah? What?"
"Uh...I mean there must be a time when you are alone."
Without further ado, Zhong Yue first disassembled the fixed wooden frame and divided it into sections of wood. He picked up a small section. According to the size of this section, it was enough to produce about sixteen to twenty pen holders. If he was bringing a car with a yellow rosewood bracelet, it would be about ten star-grain bracelets. This value is definitely less high than the pen holders he brought with him. This is also the reason why Zhang Laifu thought he wasted.
The simple wooden strips have already been carted out. In order to avoid cracking, Zhong Yue has also put enough spare parts. Fortunately, he has been using these machines these days. A round pen holder was slowly polished and polished on the roulette. Zhong Yue placed the pen tube on the small table next to him, rubbed it around with his hands to see if there was any place that needed rest.
The wood chips on the ground were only one hour, and the wood that Zhong Yue polished was almost worth hundreds of dollars, which made Zhang Laifu feel a little painful. Huanghuali was naturally not a precedent set by Zhong Yue. It has existed since ancient times, but Huanghuali has been a precious wood since ancient times. Generally, literati and scholars can afford such royal wood. They mostly use bamboo tubes instead. But is Huanghuali good for pen holders? It is indeed good.
First of all, Huanghuali is very oily. Generally, the pen made of bamboo tubes will be used for less than a year or two. If the pen tip is broken, it will be thrown together with the pen tube. The main reason is that the bamboo is prone to cracking. Huanghuali is different. The more you use it, the brighter the patina becomes, the purer and thicker the patina.
"This is a waste..." Zhang Laifu smoked, not daring to breathe, for fear that he would speak loudly. When Zhong Yue shivered, he would scrap his pen tube. That was, things that were hundreds of large were gone.
Zhong Yue focused on slowly hollowing out the pen tube and made hollow wooden tubes. Unlike bamboo pen tubes, the wooden tubes do not need to be driven very thinly except for the section where the pen tip is plugged, but the long section behind the wooden tubes do not need to be driven too thinly, but rather they are too thin and easy to crack.
Zhong Yue handed the pen tube of the car to Zhang Laifu and wiped the sweat, "Master, how do you see?"
"Ahem, you can barely be sloppy. If the apprentices in the pen factory had such a car as you, they would have gone bankrupt long ago!"
In the early years, the pen factory could occasionally receive orders for making pens with such precious wood. They were carefully designed and rarely put in reserves. With hexagonal superposition, one piece of wood can basically produce two to six more pens. If it is all based on the rich car method like Zhong Yue, it would be a waste.
However, such a way to take out materials is very challenging to craft. Now Zhang Laifu is giving some advice from the side, and as for how to do it, Zhong Yue will make the decision.
After the pen holder is polished, the next basin is to pick hair and cut into pieces and other conventional skills. The pens made by Zhong Yue are all the regular sizes and do not need any pen buckets, which can expand the capacity of the pen cut. The rubbed pen cuts are the best matched by the seven purple and three wolfs. Such pen cuts are written in small regular script and are especially strong and powerful when writing iron and silver hooks.
After repeated repetition, it took more than half an afternoon to drill two symmetrical holes in the pen holder and tie a knot with a thin rope. It was a perfect result.
"Master, do you see my pen, are you satisfied with it?"
Zhang Laifu held it in his hand and looked at the pen, "Do you want me to tell the truth?"
"certainly."
"The pen holder is so easy to watch. The work of the water basin is more than a lot worse than the female workers in the pen factory today. The work afterwards is also so careless and wasted so much good materials. If I were the owner of the pen factory, I would like to strangle you to death."
Zhong Yue's eyelids jumped twice unconsciously, "Is there nothing worth praising?"
"For an apprentice for a few months, it is already good to make such a pen, but if the pen you make is not qualified or not easy to use, even if it is ten or twenty years, I will still say the same thing, wasting good materials."
Zhong Yue knew that he was indeed a bit eager for quick success and instant benefits in doing this, but this was impossible. At present, he had to focus on what was the purpose of making pens? It was not used to make handy brushes for calligraphy. Ancient calligraphers even bought pens, so he could not afford to spend ten or twenty years on pen making.
"I understand, Master."
Zhang Laifu handed the pen to Zhong Yue, "No matter what, this pen is the finished brush you have made the most attentively since you learned to make a pen in the past few months. How to improve in the future depends on yourself. What the master should teach you."
Zhong Yue nodded, "The house is about to be decorated. I will put some furniture and items here for the time being. Isn't it a problem?"
"I'm a bad old man, if you don't think I'm dirty, just throw it here."
"Master, I have to tell you the truth. I went to Ghost Market before, and bought furniture for me."
Zhang Laifu smiled, "I knew it long ago."
"How did you know?"
"Apart from you, who in our countryside still cares about those rags? You are also stupid and stupid. You picked up such a treasure for a while. You don't need to use the remaining pieces of wood to sell them for money."
“…”
Zhong Yue held the pen, waiting for the system's judgment.
"Drip! The system detected a finished Hailan Huanghuali with a single piece of hair. It has medium quality, medium practicality, high material, and a comprehensive score of 79 points, reaching the primary brush level."
Zhong Yue breathed a sigh of relief, and indeed, there is still money that can make the devil push the grinding...
When he logged into the system with great enthusiasm and saw the next novice task, he almost cried. [Junior Ink Ingo Production], is this a novice task? This is simply to cultivate him into an all-round talent!
