Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 5 The Emperor Who Sells Wood Carvings

Chapter 5 The Emperor Who Sells Wood Carvings
Of course, this is just speculation.

Zhang Haogu kept his expression on his face, carefully counted the young man, and judged the true identity of this guy.

This is a good opportunity.

To curry favor with Eunuch Wei is to be a eunuch.

It's so good to say that Eunuch Wei is nine thousand years old, so he has to be his godson and grandson.

It is king to have a good relationship with the dog emperor.

Zhang Haogu looked at the guy in front of him carefully, but he became more and more sure in his heart that this guy might really be Zhu Youxiao.

It's really hard to judge if another emperor is changed.

However, the carpenter emperor is too famous.

Which wealthy son who is full and has nothing to do works as a carpenter? Of course, there are still some, but it is clear that he was in the Tianqi Dynasty and he was in the capital. If the age is matched, it should be Zhu Youxiao.

Zhang Haogu's guess is really good, this woodcarving peddler in the market is the emperor who sits high in the hall, the famous carpenter Emperor Zhu Youxiao.

At this moment, Zhu Youxiao is enjoying the flattery of the spectators around him with peace of mind.

Will my own carpentry work work?

The dead eunuch beside him doesn't count, the maid doesn't count, and the guards don't count either.

Only by showing it to the people to see and evaluate it can it be called a real skill.

At this moment, there are quite a few people around Zhu Youxiao.

Someone came up to look at it for a long time, picked up one or two from time to time, and said in admiration: "This carver is not bad! Look at the carving of this bird, drink, the eyes are vivid, good carver, or Sandalwood?."

Hearing the buyer's praise, Zhu Youxiao said complacently: "It's natural. For all animals, the most difficult thing to carve well is the eyes. The eyes of raptors are cold and fierce, and the eyes of birds and beasts are agile and vivid." Vivid, this carving happens to be a canary, it's not easy to grasp those docile and pleasant eyes, I, hehe, I also spent a lot of effort to get it out."

If a general peddler talks about something mysterious like this, most of it is to raise the price and sell it at a better price.

But Zhu Youxiao is different, he is a real person who loves wood and knows wood, and is struggling to find a confidant.

"I think you are young, brother, but this carver is first-class!" The buyer nodded.

Zhu Youxiao immediately became excited: "Exactly, everything is a painstaking work. The canary wood carving in your hand has a sharp and thin beak. If you are not careful, it will be damaged. I only keep the last Excellent quality, with absolutely no blemishes. All the rest are ruined"

But the buyer was stunned: "You used sandalwood, and if there are any defects, it will all be destroyed?"

"Naturally, since it is incomplete, why keep it?" Zhu Youxiao said naturally.

Buyer: "..."

Zhang Haogu was also speechless. The carpenter emperor didn't know whether he was too rich or didn't take money as money.

This person seemed to really like it, and he couldn't put it down. He held the canary wood carving in his hand and played with it for a long time, but he refused to put it down: "How much do you ask for this wood carving, I'll buy it!"

But Zhu Youxiao said: "My wood carvings are priceless treasures. If you meet someone who understands and loves you sincerely, the one with the highest price will get it."

Seeing a street vendor so unruly, the buyer was not only not annoyed, but was even more eager to get the wood carving. He gestured with five fingers: "I'll pay five taels of silver, is it enough to buy one?"

Zhu Youxiao is an emperor and rich all over the world, so of course he doesn't pay attention to five taels of silver.

But the higher the price of the wood carvings he carved, the more he would be happy from the bottom of his heart: "Is there anyone else who bid higher?"

The previous buyer's bid has already discouraged many people.

It should be noted that the other small vendors next to each other can only earn twelve taels in total for a whole year.

If Zhu Youxiao's five woodcarvings can be sold for five taels of silver, then selling all of them will earn more than other vendors in a year, which will make other vendors jealous.

"I'll pay you 20 taels of silver."

Someone else asked the price: "This wood carving is so lifelike, and it's sandalwood. It's a pity that it only sells for five taels of silver."

It doubled in the blink of an eye, making it even more daunting.

Before the words were finished, another rich man with a big belly said, "Then it's not a pity if you pay 20 taels? I'll pay 50 taels!"

Zhang An couldn't hold back anymore: "50 taels? Is a piece of wood so valuable?"

"His woodcarving level is considered top-notch. However, the woodcarving itself is not that valuable. What is really valuable is the sandalwood. This sandalwood is hard, has an eternal fragrance, is colorful and invulnerable, and is immortal. It can also ward off evil spirits, so it is also called Shengtan. He can carve a bird, which is just average. If he carves a Buddha statue, it will not be 50 taels, at least, it can be sold for 3000 taels!"

Zhang Haogu spoke casually.

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

Not to mention Zhu Youxiao.

"Brother, what do you mean? Do you think my wood carving skills are not worth so much money?" Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but frowned.

Zhang Haogu waited for Zhu Youxiao to talk to him.

At that moment, he smiled: "If you don't believe me, you can ask this man if what I said is right!"

The rich man who just spent 50 taels immediately chuckled: "This young man is not bad at all. This sandalwood itself is priceless. Unfortunately, it was carved into flowers and birds by you. If this is the Buddha who always smiles, Hehe, the price is not limited to the current price!"

Zhu Youxiao was stunned, feeling a little hurt.

Zhu Youxiao was already obsessed with carpentry work, but now he never expected the real situation to be like this.

Emotional own woodcarving skills are worthless.

The most valuable is wood.

This made Zhu Youxiao a big blow.

But Zhang Haogu said leisurely and contentedly: "Actually, this carpenter's job is not to sell things that are priceless in themselves to be more expensive. If it can turn decay into magic and sell low-priced things at high prices, then it will be more expensive." Call it your job!"

"Oh?"

But Zhu Youxiao became interested: "I heard what you mean, brother, do you have this ability?"

Zhang Haogu smiled, and said slowly, "Naturally!"

"How did you see it?" Zhu Youxiao chased after him.

"Brother!" Zhang Haogu stopped the rich man and asked, "I have a question for you. If there is a wooden horse that can walk automatically after riding it, would you be willing to spend money to buy it?"

"There is such a thing?"

The rich man froze for a moment, then nodded and said, "I know, I know, I've read Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and this is Zhuge Liang's wooden cow and horse. Of course I'm willing to buy it, but this thing probably doesn't exist!"

"You haven't seen it, how do you know it doesn't exist? Unfortunately, I have seen it!"

Zhang Haogu smiled, and said slowly: "Farewell!"

Slow!

Zhu Youxiao suddenly stopped in front of Zhang Haogu, and his eyes showed strong curiosity: "Brother, please make it clear, does this wooden cow and horse really exist?"
