Chapter 1248: A piece of practice

Yuan Zhou carried the box and walked into the courtyard.
The sun was shining brightly in this courtyard, and the flowers and leaves were luxuriant and looked full of vitality. However, it was not hot at all, and instead, there was a kind of comfortable feeling of a natural wind blowing.
Naturally, this was all thanks to the system.
“Peng,” Yuan Zhou put down the box and directly took out a folding letter opener from his sleeve pocket. He straightened the letter and then began to open it.
“Si la,” Yuan Zhou directly cut off the outer layer of adhesive tape and tore off the paper box wrapping layer on the surface, revealing the exquisite wooden box inside.
“A wooden box?” Yuan Zhou looked at the wooden box curiously and then continued to open it.
The wooden box was wrapped in a complete package. It was dark brown in color and was engraved with fine patterns. When he touched it lightly, the fine patterns and the smooth texture of the paint told Yuan Zhou that this wooden box was very expensive. It was not an ordinary item.
“Could it really be an ingredient?” Yuan Zhou opened the wooden box and made a guess curiously.
With a clatter, the lid of the box was opened, and the thing that was wrapped inside was revealed.
“Zi Zi,” it was the sound of the foam materials rubbing against each other when Yuan Zhou picked up the thing.
/
“Ceramic tableware?” What Yuan Zhou picked up was a plate that was completely wrapped.
He quickly removed the foam material and revealed the plate inside.
The plate was a shallow round plate with a dark brown bottom and a green glaze on the inside.
However, the color of the glaze was not uniform. It looked a little green, a little green, and a little dark green, like a grassland.
When he touched it with his hand, he found that the surface of the plate was very smooth. It was not that the glaze was uneven, but that it was deliberately made to look uneven visually.
“It’s a good plate. ” Yuan Zhou set the dish down and continued to look at the tableware in the wooden box.
It was complete with ceramic plates, bowls, saucers, chopstick holders, soup bowls, and even small bowls for eating. It was obviously a whole set of tableware.
“It’s a series of cutlery. ” Yuan Zhou sorted out the cutleries and placed them on the path made of bluestone slabs one by one.
After arranging the entire set of cutlery, the note lying at the bottom of the wooden box was particularly clear.
It was a white piece of paper, and the edges were not complete. It looked like the owner who tore it off had done it very casually.
What was even more casual was the words written on it.
[A casual piece of work] Chu Xiao.]
The four simple words were written in the style of Dragons and phoenixes. The last inscription was extremely flamboyant, which was very much in Chu Xiao’s style.
“It seems that Chu Xiao’s ceramic skills are very good.” Yuan Zhou couldn’t help raising his eyebrows.
Because of that, Yuan Zhou took apart all the other dinnerware and looked at them carefully again. These dinnerware were flawless.
After that, Yuan Zhou placed the utensils back into the wooden box one by one. Of course, Yuan Zhou placed them back very lightly. After he finished packing them, he carried the wooden box and returned to the second floor of the restaurant.
Since it was sent by someone else, Yuan Zhou naturally had to put it in his own room.
As soon as he entered the restaurant, Yuan Zhou directly placed the wooden box on the top of the shelf and then went downstairs again.
“It seems that I have to prepare a gift in return.” Yuan Zhou said in his heart.
Coincidentally, after lunchtime ended and before Yuan Zhou started to wash up, Carpenter Lian called him.
“Little Yuan, the wood you bought is here. You can make the bowls in the afternoon.” Carpenter Lian did not beat around the bush and said directly.
“Okay, I’ll be there in 40 minutes.” Yuan Zhou said immediately.
“En, be careful on the road.” Carpenter Lian instructed.
“I know, master.” Yuan Zhou agreed with a nod.
After that, the two hung up the phone. It couldn’t be helped that the master and disciple were both people who didn’t like to socialize. Apart from exchanging good carpentry skills, they usually didn’t talk much.
He had always been the business-like type when he called.
However, Yuan Zhou revealed a smile when he looked at the phone,””It seems like there’s no need to think about it. The return gift has arrived.”
That’s right. Right after Carpenter Lian informed Yuan Zhou that the wood had arrived, Yuan Zhou immediately thought of what gift he should give Chu Xiao in return.
Thinking of returning the gift, Yuan Zhou washed his face and rinsed his mouth even faster. Therefore, he arrived at Carpenter Lian’s place 10 minutes earlier.
“There’s no need to rush. This wooden block won’t run away. ” Carpenter Lian said with dissatisfaction when he saw Yuan Zhou come over so quickly.
“The road conditions are good today, and there are few red lights, so we came a little faster.” Yuan Zhou explained in a mild tone.
“It’s good that you’re not in a hurry. This wood won’t rot in a short time anyway. ” Only then did Carpenter Lian’s expression ease up.
“Then master, let’s go take a look at the wood.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then suggested.
“If I had known that you would want to see it, I would have already let you move in.” Carpenter Lian said as he led his people toward the workshop.
“Thank you, master.” Yuan Zhou said.
“That’s enough. You were clearly fine on the phone. Why are you talking nonsense in front of me?” Carpenter Lian thanked Yuan Zhou with dissatisfaction.
“Because master didn’t give me a chance to tell you on the phone.” Yuan Zhou said directly.
“You’re welcome. The wood hasn’t even been unwrapped. It’s very well wrapped.” Carpenter Lian waved his hand and said.
“Yes.” Yuan Zhou didn’t say thank you this time. He just nodded and looked at the wood wrapped there expectantly.
Carpenter Lian proposed to send the wood he bought from Vietnam to Yuan Zhou’s place. Anyway, Yuan Zhou would be sculpting here at this stage. In that case, it would save him the trouble of transporting the wood and it would indeed be much more convenient.
As the amount of wood was relatively large, Yuan Zhou and Carpenter Lian asked Zheng Jiawei to help them send the wood back to their country after they bought it.
Otherwise, this amount of wood would have to be inspected in Vietnam. After all, Vietnam had already banned the export of several kinds of wood.
Without Zheng Jiawei, it would definitely be more troublesome to send these pieces of wood back to their country.
After dismantling them one by one, the wood remained intact. The current dry and wet level of the wood was suitable for production.
“Master, I’ll start now.” When Yuan Zhou looked at the wood, he couldn’t help but want to start sculpting directly.
“You may begin.” Carpenter Lian clearly understood Yuan Zhou’s mood. He just nodded his head and left him alone.
Of course, even though he said he didn’t care, Carpenter Lian still paid attention to Yuan Zhou’s cooking from time to time.
As Yuan Zhou had started to make the whole set of tableware, it had already passed the appointed time of one hour. However, Carpenter Lian remained silent when he saw Yuan Zhou’s concentrated manner.
Yuan Zhou didn’t stop until he finished a whole set of 10 wooden tableware. By the way, the ceramic tableware sent by Chu Xiao was also 10 pieces.
“Not bad.” Carpenter Lian said with satisfaction after watching the whole thing.
“Yes.” Yuan Zhou let out a sigh of relief and looked at the work of his subordinates with satisfaction.
“Three dishes and one soup for a single person.” Carpenter Lian said after checking the number of plates and bowls.
“Yes, sir. Can you help me with international express delivery?” Yuan Zhou vaguely remembered that Carpenter Lian had said proudly that many foreigners came to order furniture.
“Of course you can. After all, there are many Chinese people overseas. They don’t have our skills.” Carpenter Lian said proudly.
“Then I’ll have to trouble the master to send this set of cutlery to this address.” Yuan Zhou took out the note that he had written earlier and said.
“France? If there’s no problem, I’ll get someone to pack it up for you. ” “Yes,” Carpenter Lian agreed.
During the process, Yuan Zhou also put a piece of paper into the wooden box that he had just made.
However, Yuan Zhou tore the paper neatly. On the square paper, there was also a sentence written.
The sentence “work of practice” was written by Yuan Zhou in a very normal way, as if it was very natural.
However, just like the exquisite wooden box that Chu Xiao had specially customized, the wooden box that Yuan Zhou used to store the tableware was carved together with him. Not only was it of the same style as the tableware, but it was also made from the same wood from the same tree.
