Chapter 68 Learning Top-Level Woodworking



Because he recycled the longevity lock that Li Xiuxiu gave him, Wei Mo can be considered a small tycoon, and now he has more than 20,000 trading coins to use.

With the deal with Li Taiping about to be completed, there was no need to accumulate too much money, so Wei Mo set his sights on the skill shop.

I'm planning to learn another skill; I'm figuring out which one would be most helpful for my family.

His gaze slowly swept downwards, starting from the postpartum care of the sows and gradually moving down until several skills came into Wei Mo's view.

Top-tier woodworking skills, priced in gold coins.

Advanced Traditional Chinese Medicine skill, priced at 8000 gold coins.

Wei Mo was envious of these two skills. Although he had bought the Traditional Chinese Medicine skill once before when he was collecting herbs, it was only at the beginner level.

It can also be used to treat minor injuries and illnesses, but after learning it, Wei Mo felt it wasn't very useful. However, now that it had been upgraded to an advanced level, it must have gained a lot more knowledge.

Taking advantage of his current financial situation, Wei Mo gritted his teeth and bought the two skill books.

As a result, Wei Mo instantly acquired a wealth of medical knowledge and carpentry skills.

Once you learn this, it's like it's engraved in your brain and etched into the memory of your muscle tissue.

Now, given enough tools, Wei Mo can manufacture all sorts of wooden products, and he has also become quite proficient in medicine.

Based on the knowledge Wei Mo received, his advanced TCM skills were at least equivalent to the level of a professor in a major hospital in later generations.

Traditional Chinese medicine doesn't rely on many tools; at most, it uses silver needles and cupping. Wei Mo searched for them in the online store.

Cupping set. Price: 150 gold coins. Buy it.

Silver needles, priced at 800 gold coins, I'll buy them too!

Looking at the mere 3,000 gold coins left in the trading shop, Wei Mo frowned, hoping that Li Taiping would be helpful and exchange more gold and silver for him.

He didn't actually have any requirements regarding the style; even if he exchanged it for some antiques, they would still be valuable in the future.

Wei Mo didn't insist, he just hoped to collect more of these things. As long as Li Taiping could provide enough goods, then the grain would naturally be as plentiful as needed.

With that in mind, Wei Mo began to carefully study the skill he had just acquired.

Li Taiping ran all the way to the brigade headquarters without even catching his breath. He found the brigade leader, borrowed a small cart, and then hurriedly pushed the cart towards the dilapidated temple.

According to Li Taiping's calculations, if those two bags of grain weighed 100 jin (50 catties), he, as the middleman, could earn at least 1/10 of the weight.

Even if there's only a 1/10 profit, that's still ten pounds of refined grain.

You have to understand that fine grains are extremely rare these days, and it's impossible to buy them. However, as long as we help Wei Mo sell them for a sufficient price...

He could keep some of the rest for himself, so he was very excited and ran very fast.

When they reached the dilapidated temple and saw Wei Mo guarding it, they felt relieved and pushed the cart to one side of the temple.

He loaded the two bags of grain onto the truck, then piled some green vegetables on top. Only then did he speak to Wei Mo.

"Little brother, I'll take the grain with me. No matter what, I'll come to your house tomorrow night."

Wei Mo nodded upon hearing Li Taiping's words and said,

"Okay, big brother, then be careful when you leave."

The two didn't say much. Li Taiping quickly and secretly pushed the cart back to the educated youth compound and hid the grain.

Now only Zhou Fen and I live here. Wang Hao and Zhao Haixia have moved to Yu Jun's dilapidated thatched house, although Yu Jun's house doesn't look as good as this place.

However, Wang Hao really liked that place because there was no one else there, making it very convenient for him and Zhao Haixia to get intimate.

After hiding the grain, Li Taiping pondered how to sell it in exchange for a large amount of gold and silver.

Wei Mo strolled slowly home, searching his spatial dimension for the tools he needed to make wooden furniture and other wooden products, such as planes and chisels.

He didn't rush to take them out, but went home first, nodded to his mother, went back to his room, and took out all the tools.

As for how Wei's mother will weave these lies, we'll have to wait and see how she performs in a bit.

Having received her son's signal, Wei's mother followed Wei Mo into the house. Seeing the tools, she asked Wei Mo a question in confusion.

"Son, where did these tools come from? What are you going to do with them?"

Wei Mo tilted his head, feeling that his mother seemed rather stupid, before turning to Wang Zhenhua and saying...

"Mom, Grandpa Dragon King said he would teach me how to make things, and he asked me to prepare some wood. What is it for? He didn't say."

When Wang Zhenhua heard Wei Mo's words, his eyes lit up. He then squatted down to look closely at his son.

It's important to know that woodworking skills were highly valued in that era, because people didn't have iron tools, and many tools were made of wood. Once a son learned woodworking skills, he wouldn't have to worry about finding a wife in the future.

"Good, good, son, you must learn well from the Dragon King, understand?"

“I’ll take these tools out in a bit. I’ll arrange things for them. You should go find your grandfather and get the wood ready. If he disagrees, remember to come find me and I’ll speak on his behalf.”

Wei's mother had already taken care of everything for Wei Mo, and at the same time, she asked him to go find Grandpa Yu, since Grandpa Yu was the village chief.

Getting some wood was quite convenient. Wei Mo ran out excitedly to find the old man, while Wang Zhenhua scratched his head in the house, thinking about how to explain the tools.

It has to be said that Wei Mo is really spoiled at home. After he told the old man that he wanted some wood to make something, the old man's eyes lit up!

Wei Mo had too many precedents to follow, including those concerning medicinal herbs. The old man had also inquired with people in town and confirmed that there were indeed people who bought them.

However, it was only because Sanhe Town was too backward that no one came here to collect medicinal herbs. Otherwise, his eldest grandson would have had another success.

And now? When he heard that his grandson wanted wood, he went out without saying a word, drove an oxcart to the cowshed, got a permit from the brigade headquarters, and went to the forest farm on the mountain to haul timber.

Wei Mo never expected the old man to be so efficient. When he saw the old man bring back a lot of timber, Wei Mo's eyes lit up.

She stepped forward and grabbed Grandpa Yu's leg, then climbed up his body.

Grandpa Yu quickly picked him up, and Wei Mo kissed the old man on the face while saying something.

"Thank you, Grandpa."

Hearing his eldest grandson's gratitude, the old man's face lit up with a smile, feeling that he was happy to have been able to help his grandson.

Looking at his eldest grandson snuggling in his arms, the old man decided that he would help his grandson more in the future!
