"Let's go, go back, I'm going out tomorrow, let's go back today and rest early!" Seeing that the time is not early, Shen Yibin began to beckon everyone to get in the car and go home, this time he was too lazy to move the roots back, Marc's carving studio has been moved from the shop here, and then the workers will build a shed to cover the roots of the trees so as not to let them get rained, and come here directly when they want to work, so as not to affect the normal operation of the store.

Ha'er, Xiaoliu, and Bald Head Qiang swarmed into the car, and Shen Yibin said twice to the project manager of the construction unit, comparing the space needed for the shed.

This is a matter for the construction unit to clean up casually, and he agreed without hesitation, "Mr. Shen, don't worry, I'll get it for you in a while, even if it rains at night, you won't be able to get these roots wet." "It's a big deal, he doesn't even bother to mention the money.

"Thank you then, I'll bring you a bottle of wine next time I come over." Although the other party didn't say it, Shen Yibin was embarrassed to take advantage of others for nothing; Eh, a bottle of monkey wine seems to be much more expensive than the labor fee? Sure enough, the free one is the most expensive! Shen Yibin was a little distressed, but he didn't take it to heart, after drinking such a good wine, those workers would definitely work harder, and the manor would be built as soon as possible with quality and quantity.

Back in the store, on the mobile phone to check the road conditions to go to the forest farm tomorrow, by the way to prepare all kinds of things needed for travel, Wen Yuan called the person in charge of the forest farm in advance, explained his intention, with Qin Qing's greeting, the other party naturally welcomed again and again.

Early the next morning, Shen Yibin took Wen Yuan and all the pets produced by the future pet store in the store to go to the forest farm to find wood, along the way Wen Yuan was popularizing the information he found out last night to Shen Yibin, "I checked, the tree species in this forest farm can reach thirty meters high There are hemlock, southwest birch, Simao pine and toon, these trees are very straight, rarely twisted, and can completely cut out more than 30 meters of columns." ”

"However, not all tree species are suitable for carving, according to my research, pine wood is soft, high moisture content is also easy to cause cracking, for carving this is a big defect, so let's first exclude Simao pine; Although the birch wood is delicate and the texture is good-looking, the same wood is soft, and it is not resistant to corrosion, not wear-resistant, easy to crack and warp after drying, the most important thing is that the fiber shear resistance is poor, it is easy to break the stubble, if you make a totem pole tree outside, maybe it will be hung up by a gust of wind that day, so the southwest birch is definitely not good. ”

"Fir is relatively better, often people use fir as the beams and columns of the house, the mast of the sea ship and the bridge, in terms of strength is better than the two tree species, the hemlock after drying, can maintain a stable shape and size, will not shrink, expand, warp or twist, the wood is solid, the texture is fine and uniform, the corrosion resistance is strong, especially the water moisture; If you put it outside, you don't have to worry about cracking and breaking, and it can be used as an alternative to totem poles. ”

"But the wood above is not as good as toon wood, toon wood has a beautiful texture, hard quality, shiny, strong rot resistance, no warping, no cracking, not easy to deform, easy to construct can be comparable to mahogany, so we will go to the forest farm for a while to focus on toon wood, and there is no suitable one to consider hemlock."

After analyzing these, Wen Yuan sighed, "Hey, in fact, if you want to carve it beautifully and keep it for a long time, it's better to use yellow rosewood or rosewood as a pillar, but unfortunately there is no one in the forest farm!" ”

Poof, Shen Yibin almost sprayed, as far as he is a layman, he also knows, red sandalwood and yellow rosewood are extremely expensive wood, red sandalwood is known as an inch of red sandalwood and an inch of gold, yellow rosewood seems to be more expensive than red sandalwood, and the thicker the wood, the more expensive the price, how much can a thirty-meter-high red sandalwood tree be sold for? I'm afraid it's more expensive than Shen Yibin's manor, even if he can buy it, he won't dare to stand at the door, if someone steals it, he won't be distressed to death?

YY all the way, it didn't take long to enter the mountains, and when they arrived in the mountains, these little guys immediately became extremely happy, if it weren't for the fact that there were still things that hadn't been done, Shen Yibin might have taken them out of the car to have a good time, and drove around the mountains for more than two hours, and the car finally arrived at the forest farm.

I stopped the car and made a phone call at the door, and after a while, I saw a dark-skinned man walk out, "Hello Mr. Wen, hello, hey, isn't this Mr. Abin?" Hal is here too! "Yes, Shen Yibin was recognized without introduction, "I am the field manager here, and everyone else calls me Lao Qi, and you call me that!" Come, let's go to the rest meeting first, and then I'll take you to the mountains to look for trees!" ”

"Huh! Phew! Seeing so many big trees around, Bald Qiang's eyes immediately lit up, and Shen Yibin hurriedly grabbed it, "Don't get excited, we'll find it in a while, and then you'll gnaw it!" ”

After resting for a while, Lao Qi took Shen Yibin and them into the mountain, "Mr. Wen wants a tree over thirty meters, right?" There aren't many of these trees that are allowed to be cut down these days, but what do you think of that Simao pine? ”

"The quality of the pine tree is not suitable, let's see if there are others." Wen Yuan shook his head and rejected Lao Qi's proposal, the tree was not only a wooden problem, but the body of the tree was not straight enough, it was a little crooked, and the fork was also divided early, so it was not suitable for being used as a totem pole at all.

"Look, where's the hemlock on the hill over there?" Lao Qi immediately handed the telescope to Wen Yuan, pointed to the opposite mountain and said.

Wen Yuan took the binoculars and looked at them carefully, and then handed them to Shen Yibin, "I see that there seem to be several tree holes in the tree, and it is not suitable." "This one may be okay for Xiaoliu to brew, but it's not suitable for totem poles.

"Let's go up to the hill ahead." For the next whole afternoon, Shen Yibin took Ha'er and them to follow Lao Qi around, Ha'er and Xiaoliu had a good time, but Shen Yibin and Wen Yuan never found a big tree suitable for carving totem poles.

Either the tree species is not suitable, or it is not straight enough, or the size is not enough to reach thirty meters, and there are problems such as cracking, full of tree holes, etc., so that in the end, Shen Yibin was a little deflated, "Why don't we find a shorter one?" I see that the toon tree in that mountain just now is not bad, and more than 20 meters is not short? ”

"No, we can't find it here, so we'll look elsewhere." Wen Yuan refused to give up, he regarded this as a job, and he would never compromise on his work.

"Huh? What is that tree? Why is it so high? Suddenly, Shen Yibin saw a towering tree.
