Chapter 2039: Two shadows

Translator: 549690339

After the rice was finished, Yuan Zhou took the bowl back to the restaurant. Then, he washed up and changed his clothes before starting a new round of sculpting practice.

It was still more than a month away from master Lian’s birthday. Yuan Zhou intended to step up the practice so as to realize his idea as soon as possible, not only for the birthday but also for the master to test the level of woodworking. This was the old practice in the carpenter industry.

As the saying went,”an old Carpenter lives his life without any money to earn.”

Yuan Zhou’s junior Brother, Ma Xiao, was also very busy recently. He had come to Yuan Zhou before and intended to inquire what kind of object Yuan Zhou would sculpt as a congratulatory gift.

In the past, when he followed his master, he was not nimble enough and even his master scolded him. “I’ve never seen someone as stupid as you. You can’t even hit a table after learning for so many years. What’s the use of you?”

Ever since Yuan Zhou acknowledged him as his master, the scolding had changed,””You’re not even half of little Yuan’s age, and you’ve been studying for so much longer than little Yuan. Apart from growing your heads to increase your height, are you guys just using them to vent your anger? Can’t you be like your senior brother and use your brain?”

As master Lian’s disciple, he used to live under the shadow of his master alone. Now, there were two shadows.

Fortunately, no matter how good Ma Xiao’s disciples ‘aptitudes were, there were no problems with their character. Otherwise, there would probably be conflicts.

In order to be able to give master a satisfactory gift, Ma Xiao, the former eldest senior brother, and the current second senior brother, naturally had to come to collect the Scriptures.

While Yuan Zhou was practicing, his phone rang. It was Ma Xiao.

“Senior brother, I wonder if there’s any news about the piece of wood I asked you to ask last time?” Ma Xiao went straight to the point as soon as he picked up the phone.

“It’s done. I’ve placed the order. I checked the delivery yesterday. The address is written at your place. Just sign for it. I’ve seen the quality. It’s about the same as what you’ve requested. But you can check it again when you receive it. If you’re not satisfied, you can change it.” Yuan Zhou readily accepted the advice.

It was mainly because the matter that Ma Xiao had entrusted to him was more complicated. The wood that Ma Xiao wanted this time was Torreya, and it was an old one.

......

Ma Xiao had a furniture factory of his own. By right, he didn’t lack wood resources. However, it was also a coincidence that he couldn’t find any if he wanted to. He only had one month before he came to Yuan Zhou to ask for help.

When Yuan Zhou went to visit Mr. MA, he really passed by a wood factory. It was the kind in the village that wasn’t very famous, but its main business was Torreya trees. The elevation and the geographical environment there were both suitable for the growth of Torreya trees, so the small factory could survive for a long time.

Yuan Zhou only remembered this factory because he had a deep impression of the Golden color and fragrant characteristics of Torreya trees. When Ma Xiao came here this time, he thought of trying to contact them and found that there was really Torreya wood that met Ma Xiao’s requirements.

“That’s great. Senior brother, you’re really resourceful. I’ll transfer the deposit to you later. Sorry for the trouble.” Ma Xiao heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that the problem had been solved. He was very happy.

“It’s nothing, I’m just asking on your behalf. ” Yuan Zhou didn’t say that it was free.

After that, Ma Xiao hung up the phone after a few small talk with Yuan Zhou, not daring to disturb him too much.

After hanging up the phone, Yuan Zhou once again immersed himself in the practice of his cutting skills. Recently, he had been practicing the three Stars of Fortune, longevity, and luck. The postures he carved were all different. Sometimes, when he was satisfied with the carving, he would put it on the shelf at the door.

If there were any defects, Yuan Zhou would throw them directly into the trash can after he finished sculpting them. Someone once said that he was very envious of the trash can of master chef Restaurant as it was not used to store waste paper and other things, but money.

“Shua shua shua”

Yuan Zhou’s hands rose and the knife fell at an extremely fast speed. Having practiced for several days, his speed was getting faster and faster. His movements were also incomparably skillful. Very soon, the image of a Fortune Star was formed under his knife.

Lu Xing was wearing a huge hat and holding a beautiful jade Ruyi scepter. He was wearing a wide robe with large sleeves. He looked like a floating immortal.

This time, Yuan Zhou was quite satisfied with the Fortune Star. He directly put it on the shelf. Seeing it was getting late, he stood up to clear the trash and prepared the ingredients for lunch.

Recently, Zhao Lunze hadn’t been here for a long time. Previously, he had specially come here to tell Yuan Zhou that he intended to open up a part of the sculptures that Yuan Zhou had sculpted previously for exhibition.

“I just don’t know if anyone went to take a look.” Yuan Zhou muttered in the heart.

Of course, Yuan Zhou didn’t know that Zhao Lunze was so busy over there that he couldn’t wait to break a person into eight pieces.

“Is this peony really sculpted out of radish? why does it feel like a real flower?”

“The famous master sculptor, Yuan Zhou. One of his sculptures was sold for tens of millions of Yuan. Such a price.”

“That court lady is too beautiful, like a jade carving. You told me it was carved by radish, isn’t this a lie?”

“The carving of this flower seems to have been done using slanted carving, embossed sculpture, hollow carving, and many other carving techniques. It’s really the work of a master.”

What Zhao Lunze was displaying this time was the sculpture he had obtained from Yuan Zhou previously, which had been preserved by him in a special way.

There wasn’t much traffic on the first day, but there were more and more people starting from the second day. Many of them had been here on the first day.

“I hope boss Yuan doesn’t practice his carving skills these days.” Zhao Lunze wiped the sweat off his forehead and silently prayed in his heart.

Otherwise, if he thought about how all those perfect sculptures were either thrown into the trash or put on the shelf, he would want to die. Most importantly, his master did not care.

Before he ate at the master chef Restaurant, Zhao Lunze had always felt that Yuan Zhou was a Grandmaster sculptor who had been delayed by his culinary skills. After the meal, he felt that it was too wasteful to use such excellent sculpting skills on a Top Chef.

Looking back at master chef Restaurant, there was a strange-looking customer in the restaurant today. He should be a new customer, or at least the old customers around didn’t have any impression of this person.

The person was wearing a woolen hat, a scarf, and a pair of large glasses. His entire face was covered, only revealing his dark-colored lips. He was dressed in a neutral manner and was about 1.75 meters tall. He was thin and looked less than 90 pounds, so it was impossible to tell his gender.

“Hello, what do you need?” Su Ruoyan walked up to him and asked.

In the restaurant, no one intended to take off their hats and sunglasses. However, everyone just glanced at them at most and then stopped paying attention to them. Was boss Yuan’s dishes not fragrant enough? if they had the energy to pay attention to other things, they might as well eat more.

“What’s good in the shop?” The person’s voice was hoarse, and it was hard to tell if he was a man or woman. One look at the question and one could tell that he was indeed a newcomer.

“All the dishes on the menu are delicious. What do you want to order?” Su Ruoyan’s tone was confident.

“I like something light.” The man muttered as he flipped through the menu with his slender fingers.

“Then you can directly see if there’s anything you like in Jiangsu or Cantonese cuisine, or the Chengdu school’s Sichuan cuisine.” Su Ruoyan’s response was already very experienced.

“I’ll have a Kung Pao Shrimp ball and a bowl of white rice then. ” The person flipped through the menu but still didn’t have much of an appetite, so he ordered his favorite dish to make do with it.

“Alright, please wait a moment, customer.” After su Ruoyan memorized the menu, she turned around and walked towards the next customer.

“I don’t know if it’s really that good here.” The customer tidied up his hat and scarf, revealing a pair of small ears. It looked like she was a girl.
