Chapter 587: The Pipe's Doorway

Early the next morning, as usual, neither Su Chen nor Xiaoru behaved abnormally.

Dowling had come for a while, but after a brief turn, he was back to his room, not knowing what he was doing.

In fact, he was perfecting the type of pipe, and he chose to produce pipes instead of cigarettes first, because pipes are healthier than cigarettes, and they also reflect the user's calm character and refined taste.

Therefore, Dowling should make the pipe more refined, and it must reflect that quality, from the essence and breath inside, to the deep light and mood, the invisible is the rhythm of the smoke waves, and the tangible is the Qiankun in the palm.

There are actually many classifications about pipes, from geography to material to appearance, there are many types, and Dowling doesn't know much about it, it can only be said that it is just a fur, and the only way to understand it is from his grandfather in his previous life.

His grandfather was an old smoker, from the earliest dry tobacco, bongs to cigarettes, and finally stopped on pipes.

Most pipes are imported from abroad, and the convenience of pipes replaces the use of cigarette pouch pots, but cigarette pouch pots also have their own unique lovers.

There are 14 types of pipes.

For example, the Billiard style has a straight handle that extends all the way to the mouthpiece, and the straight handle of the pipe is at right angles to the bowl, which can be very small or huge.

And what is the Chimney chimney style, this chimney style pipe is very recognizable, it is shaped like a roof chimney, especially when the smoke rises, but because this towering bowl increases the difficulty and cost of making, it is also more expensive.

As for the others, there are some weird styles, such as the OomPaul, which has a curved angle, the handle and bowl are angled horizontally, and the spout extends for easy use.

There is also Tomato tomato, his bowl area is relatively large, and it belongs to the strongest existence in the apple bucket.

That's all Dowling knows, after all, their family is not very rich, and his grandfather only had a cigarette, but he was not so obsessed with what the tobacco carrier was.

In order to make a high-end pipe at a glance, Dowling began to write and draw on paper, he did not have drawing skills, but the shape could still be drawn, he drew the four pipes that he remembered the most in his mind in one breath, and then ran out in a hurry.

"What did he do?" Chen Feng, who was helping to prepare the food, was almost knocked over.

Dowling first went to the wholesale lumber market, he had to choose the right wood, the most suitable wood for making pipes is briar, and yesterday Dowling made a temporary pipe with ordinary wood, using that kind of pipe will affect the taste, and the second is not resistant to burning.

Heather is different, the density of heather is low, light weight, breathable, water absorption is relatively good, will not lead to excessive deposition of condensate produced by tobacco combustion in the bowl, and after treatment, it will not produce excess odor at the high temperature of tobacco combustion, and heather is far more resistant to burning than other woods.

Dowling came to the timber market, and to be honest, he regretted that he had come, and he should have brought white cherry blossoms with him when he came to this kind of place, after all, he really didn't recognize which kind of briar was.

"Don't miss it when you pass by, there are any trees!" A shout rang out from the side.

Dowling looked over and saw an old man looking at him.

"Excuse me, do we have briar here?" Dowling thought for a moment and walked over and asked.

"Heather? Of course there is, please inside. The old man nodded and invited Dowling into his shed.

Dowling nodded and walked in, and suddenly a strong smell of wood came to his nose.

"Old man, which one is heather?" Dowling asked curiously, looking at the dazzling array of wood.

"Heather is in the innermost, come with me." The old man was on a crutch, and it seemed that it was made of golden silk nanmu.

Dowling was shocked, but he still honestly followed the old man inside.

Some of the truncated timber he could recognize, but only a small part of it, after all, was only a piece of wood.

"That's heather, take a look." The old man stopped, pointed to a piece of wood neatly arranged in front of him, and said.

Dowling stepped forward and touched it, this briar is not too thick, it can only be regarded as a rule.

"This heather is useless, it's not easy to burn firewood, and it's usually just a gadget." The old man tapped the brinan with his stick and said.

Dowling suddenly remembered that what was needed to make heather was the nodules of the tree, so he asked, "Old man, what I want is the nodules of heather, I wonder if you have any here?" ”

"Nodules? No, that thing is useless, and it usually stays there after cutting down trees. The old man shook his head and said.

Dowling's eyes lit up, what did this mean, it meant that he could get a lot of heather without spending money.

"Old man, can I inquire where are the heather roots you mentioned?" Dowling hurriedly asked respectfully.

"In a mountain thirty miles south of the city, heather belongs to the Rosaceae plant, which likes light, can also tolerate shade, likes warm, humid climate, is more cold and drought tolerant, in general, this heather is very good to feed, and this heather will also bear some small berries, which are also spread and grown through bird droppings." The old man seemed to be intent on explaining, and Dowling listened attentively.

"You want those heather nodules, do you want to carve something? If you want to carve something, I suggest you use a cypress, it's a good thing after all. The old man kindly reminded.

"Thank you old man, this money should be used as the tuition fee for my teaching." As he spoke, Dowling took out ten taels of silver and stuffed them into the old man's hand.

"What is this doing, old man, I have not done anything, how can I take your boy's money?" The old man said as if he was returning the money to Dowling.

"This money, you received just right, you explained to me the trees I need, this knowledge is very important to me, I should spend money to study." Dowling said with a smile and turned around and left.

The old man shook the silver taels in his hand, sighed and said: "Understand etiquette, love to learn, and the country is strong when the youth is strong!" ”

Dowling left the old man's greenhouse and didn't go to other greenhouses, the heather in the Great Wilderness World is a relatively useless wood, especially the root nodule position, which is not as good as other woods for carving, so it is not valuable.

Leaving the timber market, Dowling thought about it for a while and decided to go back to the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon Residence to bring the white cherry blossoms, he couldn't recognize all the trees, if there were only wood roots left, wouldn't it be even more unrecognizable.

When Bai Sakura heard that Lin needed help, she was very painfully happy to agree, and the two of them said to their partners, and then walked towards the position provided by the old man.
