"Oh, let me see first." Dou Zhishan took it with his big hand, first put it in the palm of his hand and weighed it, then closed his eyes and rubbed it for a while, then put it in front of his nose and smelled it, and finally put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, and couldn't help frowning, "Old woman, you turn on the light." ”

"Huh."

Dou Zhishan took it under the light again and took care of it carefully.

"Uncle, do you see anything famous?" Sanzang asked with a smile.

"Hmm...... This piece of wood is a little weird, like teak but not teak, like mahogany but not mahogany, no taste, very dense, hard texture, it should be very durable, not domestic, right? After Dou Zhishan finished speaking, he gently placed the small wooden block in front of Sanzang.

"Uncle has a good eye, that's right, it's called Rhodesian red teak, it is produced in the southern part of Africa, I want to ask if this wood can be used for carving?" After Sanzang finished speaking, he pushed the small wooden block in front of Dou Zhishan.

"Well, this wood is a little harder, but it's okay to carve it, what do you want to use it for?" Dou Zhishan picked up the small wooden block in front of him and re-observed it, and said affirmatively.

"How do you think about making Buddha statues and shrines?" Sanzang hesitated for a moment, hiding his truest purpose.

"What? Buddha? Shrines?! You're ...... You're just playing the piano randomly! Such a good wood should be very valuable, and it is not easy to get.

You're going to make these things, it's ...... It's really ......" Dou Zhishan was so angry that he almost wanted to scold his mother, but he couldn't help it after thinking about it, "Besides, this kind of thing shouldn't be easy to sell in China, right?" ”

"That's right, it's not sold in China, I'm going to sell it to Dongwei, so it's going to be a test of the withering work of you masters, if it's as beautiful as a work of art,

At that time, the price will be whatever we want, only US dollars, not Japanese yen. Sanzang said with a smile, and told half of his plan.

"Hey, is this going to work?" Dou Zhishan heard that he could make US dollars, so he no longer objected, the hardwood furniture factory he worked in had the task of earning foreign exchange through exports every year, and he was no stranger to US dollars, but he looked at Sanzang suspiciously.

"It must be possible, more than half of the population in Dongwei believes in Buddhism, and every household has the habit of worshiping Buddha shrines.

As long as it is exquisitely withered, and then cooperate with the local famous mountains and temples, please open a light or something inside, and it will definitely sell well when the time comes. "Sanzang has already thought of a marketing strategy.

"Well, you're a good idea, I'm afraid I'm afraid that the Dongwei people can't afford the price, the Buddha is like a delicate job, I estimate that your wood is also difficult to wither, a skilled hand may not be able to wither a few a month,

If the price is too low, it will not be very cost-effective. Dou Zhishan said with a worried face, he applied the practice of the old lady in the countryside in the old society, thinking that he could invite a Buddha statue from the temple to go home for a few yuan.

"Haha, your old lady underestimates the Dongyu people, their average annual income is about 3 million yen, which is 13,000 US dollars, and it is not a problem to spend 180 US dollars on this." Sanzang This is really reduced by one zero, for fear that telling the truth will directly scare Dou Zhishan.

"Well, listening to you say that, this business seems to be done." After Dou Zhishan finished speaking, he touched the stubble of his chin.

"Of course, if it's the kind of artwork you carve old, we won't sell it for less than a thousand dollars." Sanzang gestured with an index finger as he spoke.

"Haha, it's too exaggerated, it's too exaggerated, I'll be satisfied if the thing I carved can be sold for three or four hundred dollars when the time comes." Dou Zhishan was very happy when he heard it, and he was quite useful to this sycophant.

"What three or four hundred dollars? Yo, you're in the house. At this time, the door was suddenly pushed open by a young man with a simple appearance, and he saw Sanzang with luxurious clothes and extraordinary appearance at a glance.

"What are you doing when you don't go to work and come home?" When Dou's mother saw that it was her youngest son, she was angry and didn't fight anywhere.

"I want to go to work, but I have to have a job." The young man went to get a teacup and pour water to drink, very measured, and did not come to disturb Sanzang.

"The hardwood furniture factory is not alive again?" Dou Zhishan frowned when he heard this.

"Yes, it has little to do with us temporary workers, and now we are doing a big export job, and the requirements are very strict, how can we let us temporary workers get started? My brother is there. The young man took a big sip of tea and complained weakly.

"Alas, you're really not a thing, I'll go to your factory director in two days and help you talk about it, your carving skills are so good, I should arrange something serious for you to do, how can you always see wood?" Dou Zhishan sighed and said helplessly.

"You, it's useless to go, it's useless to go, now the hardwood furniture factory is still the main force of you rehired masters, and the factory director only trusts you guys. Although my brother has taken your class,

It's a regular worker, the carving technology is better than mine, but I can only start, now the export is the top priority, no one can bear this responsibility if there is a problem, our factory director will not take risks indiscriminately. The young man shook his head.

"Then you can't always leave work early, what if the factory finds out and fires you?" Dou's mother patted her son's arm vigorously.

Small kiosk

"I'm fired, I'm not going to do it, besides, I'm not the only one who has temporary workers in the factory like this." The young man deliberately dodged, although the fight was not painful, and he had to save face if he was present with outsiders.

"No, don't you usually stick to Xiao Min after work? Why did you come back alone today? Dou Mu asked suspiciously.

"Blown." The young man said nonchalantly.

"What? It's blowing again, are you trying to me off? How many people have you been with in the past year? You don't look at your conditions, you want a house or not, you want a job or not, you have to look good, you want to work and have a job,

Such a good girl can take a fancy to you, that's your creation, how dare you blow it, I'll kill you this indisputable thing. Mother Dou casually took a feather duster from the table and pumped it vigorously on her son.

"Xiao Min Xiao Min, you know Xiao Min, she already knew that my brother-in-law had made a fortune in Hong Kong City, so she asked me to take her to Hong Kong City to develop, I have been wondering why she fell in love with me? This is the original form. The young man stood and did not hide, and told the truth one by one.

"What you say is true? When did this happen? Dou Mu stopped thrashing with an incredulous expression.

"Why am I lying to you, just yesterday afternoon, she told me in person." The young man hurriedly stretched out his finger and swore an oath.

"I believe, I have always felt that there is something wrong with this Xiaomin, even if our son marries her in the future, he will have to be eaten to death by her for the rest of his life." Dou Zhishan spoke.

"Alas, this doesn't work, that doesn't work, what kind of do you want to marry?" Mother Dou sighed and inserted the feather duster in her hand.

"Mom, they're not good, I just want to marry a good wife who looks pleasing to the eye, has a good heart, and can honor the second elder, but can't be like a sister-in-law." The young man said softly as he held his mother.

"I know you have filial piety, but it's not a thing to be so single, you're almost 34 years old today, and you don't have a formal job yet, it's really a headache." Dou Mu shook her head helplessly.

"I've thought it out now, men should focus on their careers, and any good job is secondary, now as long as you can make money, you are an uncle, won't I discuss it with your second elder?" Young people talk.

"Discussed, discussed? I want to beat your sister again, don't even think about it, your sister said, you two brothers are not business materials, sooner or later you will be cheated out, 20,000 Hong Kong dollars is our family's money to protect the capital,

I'm looking for a house, and when the time comes, you and your eldest brother will be one and a half, and the rest of the money will give you a daughter-in-law, and you will honestly give me a job. Dou Zhishan slapped the table and glared at his youngest son and said.
