Gao Ming, who was holding a fifty-centimeter-long thick wooden stick in one hand and a birthday cake in the other, did not rush back to the bachelor apartment, but went to the commissary in the teacher's family area to buy a knife, and then sat down on the rest chair under the street lamp, carefully examining the wooden stick in his hand, which was still quite straight.

Camphor wood is characterized by firmness and fineness, if you make a Shaolin stick that can cast a "crazy demon one hundred and eight sticks", it is also a good material, and beating people is definitely a faint one.

But if Teacher Gao, who does good deeds and doesn't leave a name, sends a powerful weapon to her liking because Su Da Beauty has a hobby of turning into a violent chick, it will definitely be a brain pump.

The object of the violent Su Xiaoniu's most impulsive and forceful use is often Gao Ming herself.

Teacher Gao is obviously not so stupid.

After thinking quietly for a moment, I saw Gao Ming, who was holding the wooden stick, moved his hand, rubbed his hands lightly, and the wooden stick spun in his hand.

As Gao Ming's hands rubbed from the top of the wooden stick to the lower part, the original cyan wooden stick gradually turned black, and then Gao Ming took the wooden stick and shook it gently, and the black-brown bark powder was shaken clean, revealing yellow-brown wood.

The wood, which was originally full of moisture, was steamed dry by Gao Ming with the real fire of the house in just one minute.

The dehydrated camphor wood is round like jade, and the milky yellow wood glows with a pale yellow luster under the light, and exudes a natural wood fragrance. Gao Ming shook his head regretfully, this was already the best material he could find on campus, if Su Keran could tell him about his birthday earlier, he would be able to bring the big branch on the decades-old nanmu next to Grandpa Xishan's small courtyard to make wood carving.

Gao Ming has been unpleasant to the eye of that nanmu for a long time, who made it so good material, especially suitable for wood carving, that is, Gao Ming has never found an excuse.

But now, I can only make it with the camphor wood in front of me, which has been evaporated.

That's right, the birthday gift that Gao Ming prepared to give to Su Keran was wood carving, which was one of Gao Ming's housekeeping skills. Of course, Gao Ming never intended to be a master of wood carving, the purpose of his practice of wood carving was to make the old man's hands holding silver needles more stable and accurate, but even the old man did not expect that Gao Ming's talent for wood carving was far beyond his imagination. The money for going to an Internet café to play games in my teens was all exchanged for a piece of wood carved on a small piece of wood on the mountain.

Wood carving is one of the oldest traditional skills in China, and the earliest records can even be traced back to the Neolithic period. If you want to make a beautiful wood carving, the skill is the most important, followed by the choice of materials, no matter how good the skills, without excellent materials, not only can not be preserved for a long time, but more importantly, because the problem of materials can not express the mind of the maker.

The best material for carving wood carving is red sandalwood, ebony, mahogany, rosewood, nanmu and other precious trees, camphor wood as one of the unique tree species in Jiangbei Province, the material is rough, the durability is strong, the texture is staggered obviously, the luster is beautiful, and it is also the best material for wood carving.

It's just that Mr. Gao's little heart jumped several times when he was drinking, and he wanted to give Su Da Beauty the best gift, so he naturally didn't like the second-class material of camphor wood.

Previously, he used the real fire of the house to evaporate the water in the wood, which was also one of the prerequisites for making wood carving. Even if the wood is carved with too much moisture, it will deform and crack over time.

However, the general wood carver either uses the artificial drying method to seal the wood in the steam drying chamber, and uses the steam to promote the evaporation of water and dry the wood; Either by natural drying, the wood is placed in a ventilated place and allowed to dry naturally. These two methods, as little as a week, may take several years, but they will not be like Gao Ming, who uses the true fire of the martial arts master level to evaporate the water in the wood in one minute.

Of course, more importantly, Gao Ming injected pure yang internal qi into the wood carving, although most of it will escape, but there will always be a part left in it, if the wood carving can be carried with the sound, it will be of great benefit to Su Keran's yin vein disease. If it is replaced by someone who knows the goods, not to mention what kind of wood carving Gao Ming has to carve, even this wooden stick can be regarded as a treasure.

I don't know what kind of mood the ancestors of the Absolute Medicine Sect will be when they see the younger disciples holding the true fire of the inner family to be a carver.

I guess it's not going to be too good.

didn't crawl out of the coffin in the middle of the night to settle accounts with Gao Ming, an unscrupulous disciple, it should be because the juniors respect the teacher too much, bury it too deeply, and have a bit of a lot of mounds.

When everything was ready, Gao Ming took the knife he had just bought and started to use the knife against the wood.

The knife light is like electricity, and the sawdust is flying.

The fifty-centimeter-long timber gradually shrank to the size of a baby's fist, and Gao Ming began to carve a knife on the wood.

After only five minutes, Gao Ming took a knife, looked at the wood carving in his hand about the size of a ping pong ball, and smiled slightly, obviously very satisfied with his work.

Carefully put the carved work about three centimeters long into the pocket of his clothes, Gao Ming carried the cake back to the bachelor apartment.

Seeing Gao Ming coming back with a cake in his hand, Su Keran, who had been waiting for a long time and had an anxious look on his face, had a smile on his face.

She visibly felt her heart beat faster, and a sweet current quietly flowed through her heart.

"It's not a big birthday, why did you go out to buy me a cake so late!" Although Su Keran's heart was sweet, his mouth was disgusted.

"How can you do it without a cake on your birthday?" Gao Ming smiled as he put a candle in the cake.

"Why only eighteen sticks for me? Everyone is already twenty .......years old" Su Keran was suddenly a little stunned when he said it, but it was not his birthday, he was a full twenty-six years old, and people in the south used to use imaginary years to calculate, that is, twenty-seven years old, which is considered an older woman.

However, Gao Ming seems to be only twenty-three, and even if he is imaginary, he is only twenty-four, a difference of three years. Su Keran thought of Gao Ming's age, and his face inevitably showed a trace of loneliness.

As the old saying goes, a female junior, holding a gold brick, can be very comforting, but as a modern woman, Su Keran knows that it was ancient women who had to take care of housework, men who had to study hard behind closed doors in the hope of being named on the gold list, and older women who could help their husbands with family affairs. In modern times, it is very rare for a man to choose a woman who is older than him, let alone three years older.

Age is always a hurdle that women can't overcome. Even if it is as good as Su Keran, it is no exception.

"I've heard that women don't like to talk about age, so I only took eighteen candles and wished you eternal youth and beauty like an eighteen-year-old girl." Gao Ming laughed.

Of course, Mr. Gao would not say that there were only eighteen candles in total from the cake shop. This is the rhythm of forcing Su Xiaoniu to look around for a golden hoop stick.

"Speaking so skillfully, have you said this to many girls?" Su Keran glanced at Gao Ming and said, but his heart was sweet.

Sure enough, Mr. Gao was right.

Age is the weakness of all women, as long as the age is smaller, the favorability of men is gradually increasing, even if it is white-eyed, it is all with tenderness.
