I Have a Paradise on Earth

Gu Xuan transmigrated into the body of a freshman university student on Blue Star. He acquired the Paradise on Earth System and began transforming a piece of land into a paradise. The area of this ...

Chapter 23 Carving

Gu Xuan began preparing things.

In the Muxiang Pavilion in Haicheng.

A young man in his early twenties ran up to the office on the third floor and pushed the door open.

The elderly man sitting at his desk looked helplessly at the person who pushed the door open and came in.

"Komori, what are you doing, all flustered?"

The young man who came in quickly said.

"Grandpa, I've found what you were looking for."

The young man's full name is Jiang Sen, and the old man's name is Jiang Mufeng.

Jiang Mufeng is the owner of Muxiang Pavilion and has been running it for a long time. He has a special fondness for wood, especially rare wood.

Jiang Sen was also interested in this, so instead of starting a company with his father, he ran the Muxiang Pavilion with his grandfather.

Today, Jiang Sen saw the timber in Gu Xuan's warehouse and realized that his grandfather had been searching for top-quality Hainan rosewood and top-quality small-leaf sandalwood, which Gu Xuan's warehouse had, so he came to find his grandfather.

Jiang Mufeng looked puzzled.

"What did you say? What am I looking for?"

"Top-grade Hainan rosewood, and also top-grade small-leaf sandalwood."

Jiang Mufeng smiled slightly.

"Do you know how rare that thing is?"

Jiang Sen, however, said...

"I found it."

These words startled Jiang Mufeng.

"You're kidding, right?"

Jiang Sen then placed his phone in front of Jiang Mufeng.

At this moment, Gu Xuan had finished cutting four pieces of wood and moved to another room in the live stream, where there was a workbench.

Jiang Mufeng also happened to see the four pieces of wood that Gu Xuan had put down.

You can see the cross-section right away.

That one glance was enough to leave Jiang Mufeng stunned.

"This, this is top-grade Hainan rosewood, and top-grade small-leaf sandalwood, and they were just cut off. How is this possible?"

Jiang Mufeng looked up at Jiang Sen.

"Where is this? How far away is it from us? How many are there?"

Jiang Sen said.

“I saw that he has dozens of logs, and they are all top-quality. I just asked him, and he said he could sell them to us if we need them. Grandpa, what do you think? Is this what you need?”

Jiang Mufeng nodded.

"These are exactly what I need. Dozens of logs, so many! Quickly, contact a truck."

"Why is Grandpa in such a hurry?"

"We have to be in a hurry. Once those old guys find out, there won't be any left for us."

"Then I'll make the arrangements now."

"Hurry up, where is this person?"

"It's in the northern part of the city."

"So close."

"Um."

"Then you drive, we'll go first, talk to them, and then you can arrange for a vehicle to transport the goods. We'll grab the best ones first."

"Understood."

Jiang Sen began to take action.

We asked Gu Xuan for the exact location.

Drive there.

Meanwhile, news of top-quality Hainan rosewood and top-quality small-leaf sandalwood appearing in Gu Xuan's live stream also reached the ears of some old-timers in Beijing.

On this day, some old guys in the capital also began to take action.

Those who got the news and specialized in the timber business also began to get restless.

Gu Xuan also received the news.

I already have an idea in mind.

He also understood that leaving so much wood here would eventually lead to its discovery, so he figured it was better to sell some and keep some to make something himself.

At this time, Gu Xuan also prepared the carving tools.

The tools are also given as an extra gift by the system after you acquire the carving skills.

The people in the live stream also started to get curious.

'What is the streamer going to do with such good wood?'

It looks like you're going to carve something.

The streamer can also carve.

It seems so.

This made the viewers in the live stream even more curious.

Gu Xuan explained.

"The purpose of preparing these things is to make a few tea canisters and a few wooden boxes to give to the three people who came today."

Upon hearing the streamer's words, the live stream chat instantly erupted in excitement.

'The streamer is so generous, giving away such an expensive item so easily.'

'I'm so envious.'

"It's nothing."

Gu Xuan didn't take it to heart.

Then, based on the approximate shape, the four pieces of wood were cut into six circles and three squares.

The six round pieces were used to make tea canisters, while the three square pieces were used to make three wooden boxes.

Of the six round pieces, three are made of Hainan Huanghuali (rosewood), three are made of small-leaf sandalwood (red sandalwood), and all three wooden boxes are made of Hainan Huanghuali.

After the cutting was completed, the live stream showed the scraps that Gu Xuan had left.

"Host, you probably don't need the parts you cut off, right? Let me handle them."

"Upstairs, you've got a screw loose in front of me."

"It's okay, I'm close to the streamer, I'll just go help them clean."

'I'll go too.'

Gu Xuan smiled as he saw these comments.

"I'll make these leftover scraps into bracelets later. If there are enough, I'll hold a giveaway in the live stream, and the winners will receive them."

The live stream chat erupted in excitement upon hearing Gu Xuan's words.

Wow, this streamer is amazing! Giving away tens of thousands of yuan worth of stuff like that.

"Does the streamer need any lackeys, the kind who'd run errands for him?"

The live stream was filled with images of gifts.

Gu Xuan quickly stopped him.

"No need to send gifts, just follow me."

Qian Guxuan didn't care about these gifts at all; with the system around, money was no problem.

Therefore, during live streams, fans are usually advised not to send gifts.

I originally wanted to turn it off, but after thinking about it, I didn't do it.

However, his fans were very considerate and only gave small gifts, which was not a big deal.

His words immediately attracted another wave of attention.

His reputation was boosted once again.

Gu Xuan began making tea canisters.

The sharp carving knife began to work, and he easily began to carve.

He used the relief carving technique.

He began working with ease, without any pause, just like a master craftsman with centuries of experience.

'The streamer is amazing! He just went straight for it, that's skill!'

'The anchor's hands are so steady.'

'This is a relief sculpture, isn't it?'

One word: awesome.

This immediately drew a lot of praise.

Gu Xuan, however, was engrossed in carving and didn't even glance at the live stream.

This sitting session lasted for an hour.

Three tea canisters were carved in an hour.

The three small-leaf sandalwood tea canisters were carved and then shown to the viewers in the live stream.

'Wow, this streamer is really good!'

'These are all carved flowers, could they be peach blossoms?'

'It looks like a peach blossom to me.'

"It is indeed a peach blossom. I saw a few peach blossoms before that I really liked, so I carved them on this tea canister."

After saying that, he started carving other things.

The three tea barrels of the Sea King are carved with bamboo.

Once the carving was complete, the three-dimensional effect of the bamboo was instantly revealed, eliciting another wave of surprise from the live stream audience.

What remains are three wooden boxes.

These three wooden boxes will take longer to prepare.

It took about two hours.

Then, using tools, he made the remaining piece of small-leaf sandalwood and some scraps of Hainan rosewood into bracelets, making dozens of them at once.

After he finished carving, the people who took the photos returned.

Gu Xuan carefully put the things away, without letting the others see them beforehand.
