Ye Laosan originally wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect that there were actually a few pieces of Melia azedarach wood in the warehouse of Prince Rui's Mansion. Although they were not too big, they were enough for Ye Laosan to try his hand.
Princess Rui was also very generous. She directly asked someone to give all the pieces of wood to Ye Lao San, and also promised that if the construction supervisor needed it, she could help find larger and more complete pieces of wood.
Ye Laosan hurried back to the Construction Bureau with the wood, and then began to try it under the supervision of Cheng Changan.
In recent days, Ye Laosan has made this ribbon countless times and has been thinking about it over and over again in his mind.
He had already deduced in his mind countless times how to make each move.
So in Cheng Changan's opinion, Ye Laosan's knife strikes were as if assisted by God, and each knife strike landed exactly where it should be, without the slightest hesitation or bias.
Cheng Changan thought it was simply amazing. Even he couldn't do such a smooth operation now.
Even in the General Construction Supervisor, only senior masters with experience like Master Liu or above had seen it.
What kind of genius is Ye Laosan? How could he be so powerful?
Master Liu really has a good eye. He discovered Ye Lao San's extraordinary qualities at once.
Ye Laosan was completely focused on the wood carving in his hand and didn't notice Cheng Changan's complicated psychological activities beside him.
Just when one person was concentrating on working and another was concentrating on watching, Master Liu suddenly came over from behind.
He called for a long time in his workshop in the backyard but Cheng Changan didn't come, so he had to find him himself.
As soon as Master Liu arrived at the front yard, he saw this scene and immediately walked over with light steps.
Cheng Changan was watching intently when he was startled when suddenly someone stood next to him.
He turned around and saw that it was Master Liu. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Master Liu making a gesture to him to shut up.
Cheng Changan then remembered that he couldn't disturb Ye Laosan, and quickly swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
Master Liu stared at Ye Lao San as he cut the knife, his eyes full of passion.
He had thought about recruiting Ye Lao San to the General Construction Bureau before, but for someone like Ye Lao San who came from a self-taught background, it would be quite difficult for him to join the General Construction Bureau.
But at that time, Ye Lao San had not yet demonstrated such strong abilities, and he himself had not expressed similar intentions, so Master Liu did not mention this matter.
But now, seeing Ye Laosan's craftsmanship, Master Liu's eagerness to recruit talented people can no longer be suppressed.
Such a good skill should not be left to the common people.
Master Liu already had a plan in mind at this time. Regardless of whether Ye Lao San could succeed this time, he would find a way to get him to work in the General's Office.
Then the two of them put their hands behind their backs and watched Ye Lao San cut the knife without blinking.
Seeing that the wood carving in Ye Laosan's hands was getting closer to completion, Master Liu became extremely nervous. He clasped his hands together tightly and didn't even dare to breathe.
Ye Laosan has now reached the point where he had failed every time before.
He couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
Ye Laosan suddenly stopped the carving knife in his hand, wiped the sweat from his palms, took a deep breath and continued.
This scared both Master Liu and Cheng Chang'an, who thought they had failed again.
Fortunately, both of them held back and did not scream, and then watched Ye Lao San carve out the remaining parts in one go.
After Ye Lao San made the last move, he was still a little bit unbelievable. Was it really so easy to do this time?
He was holding the carving knife in his hand and was about to take a closer look at the ribbon he had just finished when he heard a cheer from behind him.
"Okay, great!"
Master Liu's voice was full of surprise. If he wasn't afraid of damaging the newly made wood carving, he would have wanted to pat Ye Laosan on the shoulder and praise him.
"Third brother, you are really amazing, I was right about you!"
Ye Laosan didn’t know when Master Liu came, but fortunately he succeeded this time.
He was also very excited and said, "Master Liu, that's great, it's finally done.
"But this is not my credit, it's mainly because the wood is suitable.
"As soon as I started carving, I thought this wood might be good, but I didn't expect that I could actually make it in one go."
After hearing this, Master Liu patted Ye Lao San on the shoulder and said, "You don't have to be overly modest. I know the difficulty of this part of the wood carving.
"If you weren't so skilled, someone else wouldn't be able to make it even with the same wood."
After praising Ye Lao San, Master Liu curiously picked up another piece of wood and asked, "Is this the wood it's made of? What material is it made of?"
As he spoke, he habitually pinched the wood with his fingernails to feel its texture.
Cheng Chang'an finally came back to his senses from the shock of Ye Laosan actually completing the wood carving. Hearing Master Liu's question, he hurriedly told him the miraculous experience of how Ye Laosan discovered this kind of wood.
Master Liu was amazed after hearing this, and felt that Ye Laosan was not only a skilled craftsman, but also a person who observed everything in life.
Ye Lao San blushed at Master Liu's praise, and quickly waved his hand and said modestly, "Master Liu, please stop praising me. I don't deserve it.
"In fact, all this is just a coincidence."
"Oh, that's wrong." Master Liu waved his hand and said, "In many cases, luck is also a part of ability, and it is something that is more difficult to find."
Ye Lao San said, "Master Liu, all you need to do next is find a large enough piece of Chinaberry wood to make the wood carving. The Princess of Rui has already agreed to help find the wood. For the rest of the matter, you can just send someone to contact the Prince of Rui's Mansion.
"I should go back too. The woodworking shop will open in a few days, and I have a lot of things to do before then.
"I've been putting all my time and energy into this wood carving recently. Fortunately, it has lived up to expectations. Now I will focus on the woodworking business again."
When Master Liu saw that Ye Lao San was about to leave, he quickly grabbed him and said without thinking carefully, "Lao San, do you want to work in the Construction Supervisor?
"If you want to come, you don't have to start as an apprentice. I can help you get it, and you will be on the same level as Chang'an when you come in. How about it?
"The treatment for our supervisors is quite good. Not only do we receive a monthly salary, but we also receive rewards for the things we produce.
"With your craftsmanship, if the Emperor praises your work, you might even receive a reward..."
Master Liu praised the Chief Architect to the skies, wishing Ye Lao San would nod in agreement right away.
Unexpectedly, faced with such a huge offer that fell from the sky, Ye Lao San shook his head without hesitation and said, "Master Liu, I'm very sorry, but I'm not interested in this."
