Master Cha Qi recalled the scene when Jiang Tiantian was at his place two days ago.

"Grandpa Qi, your craftsmanship is so good, it's a pity to just make some regular furniture."

Jiang Tiantian stood in Cha Qiye's woodworking workshop, in front of a half-finished cabinet. She looked at the intricate carvings on the cabinet door and said with regret.

Master Cha Qi was busy with his hands, smiling, and asked casually: "So what do you think we should do?"

Jiang Tiantian pointed to the old tree basket in the corner of the yard outside the door and said, "Grandpa Qi, what are you going to use that old tree basket for?"

Master Cha stretched his head and took a look. "Oh, that one. I just dragged it down from the mountain a few days ago. I was going to chop it up and use it as firewood."

"These old tree knots are very effective when burned."

"Tsk tsk tsk..." Jiang Tiantian couldn't help but shake her head and sigh.

What a nice root carving coffee table mold! How can it be burned as firewood?

"Grandpa Qi, don't burn that old tree trunk. Sell it to me!"

Master Cha paused and looked up at her in confusion, "Why do you want an old tree bag?"

After a pause, he continued, "If you want it, just take it away. What are you selling?"

"How much is an old tree stump worth? It's so funny to say that!"

As he spoke, Master Cha Qi shook his head and smiled.

This girl is still being distant with the villagers?

Hearing this, Jiang Tiantian smiled charmingly, "Seventh Grandpa, I dare not ask for it for nothing. Besides, I still need you to help me process it a little more."

Jiang Tiantian walked over, took out the things in Cha Qiye's hand, put them down, and pulled him out.

"Grandpa Qi, come with me first, I'll tell you how to do it."

She turned to look at Ah Ku who was walking around the room, looking at the wooden furniture, "Ah Ku, you come with me too."

The three of them stood in front of the old tree trunk that was more than one meter long.

Jiang Tiantian gestured as she spoke, "I want to make it into a coffee table specifically for drinking tea."

"Grandpa Qi, look, use this side as the base, and flatten the other side from here... dig a groove here... and here... process it a little bit, and make a small hole here as a water outlet... here..."

After Jiang Tiantian's detailed description, the idea gradually took shape in Cha Qiye and A Ku's minds.

After Jiang Tiantian finished speaking, she looked at Ah Ku and said, "Do you have a picture in your mind? Draw it and show it to Grandpa Qi."

"good."

Ah Ku nodded, walked into the house, took out a pencil and a piece of paper, and started drawing casually.

Master Cha Qi walked around the old tree twice, stroking his chin, and said thoughtfully, "Tiantian, your idea is good. Why have I never thought of this before?"

By taking advantage of the unique shape of the old tree roots and doing just a little processing, you can get a unique masterpiece.

This is a unique aesthetic that cannot be achieved by regular coffee tables that are standardized and mass-produced.

A Ku finished the picture in just a few minutes.

Jiang Tiantian took it and looked at it, then nodded in appreciation, "With your talent for painting, it's a pity if you don't become a painter."

Ah Ku rolled his eyes at her and said, "Can a painter support himself these days?"

“Uh…” Jiang Tiantian was a little at a loss for words for a moment.

"It's okay. Painters become more popular as they get older. Just because they can't support themselves now doesn't mean they can't in the future."

"You are still young now, so accumulate more works. Who knows, when you are older, your works may be worth a fortune."

Jiang Tiantian laughed and said, then handed the blueprint to Master Cha Qi, "Master Qi, take a look, this is the final product."

Master Cha Qi took it and took a look at it. "Well, it's pretty much what I imagined. It has to be like this to be worth processing."

At this time, Liu Qingshu strolled in.

"What are you guys talking about, gathered around an old tree?"

Master Cha Qi smiled and handed the blueprint in his hand to Liu Qingshu, "Tiantian wants to use this old tree trunk to make a coffee table. Take a look, what do you think?"

This man was the most recent distinguished guest in the village. As soon as he arrived, he bought all the tea in the village, and the price was quite high.

Everyone in Chajia Village was polite when they saw him.

This person is easy to get along with and can chat with anyone he meets.

Liu Qingshu glanced at the paper, then walked around the old tree a few times and couldn't help but sigh.

"Sister-in-law, we are all human beings. How come you have so many clever ideas?"

He owns a teahouse, so naturally he can see the benefits of this coffee table.

It combines artistic appreciation and practical functions.

It looks much more upscale and tasteful than the ordinary long table in his current teahouse.

Liu Qingshu was more and more satisfied as he looked at it. He turned to Master Cha Qi and said, "Uncle Cha Qi, do you have any more old tree trunks like this?"

"Make me a few similar coffee tables later. I'll put them in my teahouse."

Jiang Tiantian smiled and replied, "Brother Liu, if you want it, it's easy. There are old tree trunks like this everywhere in this mountain. You can have as many as you want."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingshu slapped his thigh and said, "It's settled, Uncle Cha Qi, I'll reserve five coffee tables from you first, and you find some old tree trunks, and I'll come and pick them out later."

Master Cha Qi didn't expect there would be such an unexpected surprise.

Suddenly, an extra business came in.

He nodded quickly. "Okay, OK. I'll have someone go look for it in the mountains tomorrow. When we find old trees with good wood, we'll bring them back. You can come and pick them out then."

Since then, the old carpenter and his apprentice started a new money-making business - root carving art.

Thinking of this, the old carpenter looked at Jiang Tiantian and smiled knowingly.

No wonder the village chief's family cares so much about this girl!

Who doesn’t like a generous, smart and sweet-talking girl?

…

In the old stonemason's workshop, Jiang Tiantian was very happy listening to the shocked and excited discussions of the villagers.

She knows clearly how much potential these stones will have for development in the future.

Her purpose was to educate the villagers and let them realize the value of these ordinary stones.

Thus, turning waste into treasure!

"Dear fellow villagers, please be quiet and listen to me for a few words." Jiang Tiantian said with a smile.

The villagers present stopped discussing and turned to look at Jiang Tiantian, waiting for her to continue speaking.

Jiang Tiantian looked around and said loudly: "I think everyone has already seen that the stones by our Qingjiang River are not ordinary, right?"

"That's right."

"right!"

“I don’t think it’s ordinary either.”

“So beautiful!”

"yes!"

“…”

Hearing everyone's answers, Jiang Tiantian nodded with satisfaction and continued:

"These stones are not just for viewing, they can also be sold for money in the future."

"But only those who know the subject can appreciate the preciousness of these things."

Jiang Tiantian looked at the villagers with burning eyes, expectation and curiosity, and slowly said:

"My fellow villagers, what I want to say is that if you have time, you can go to the riverside more often and pick up some beautiful stones."

"After picking them up, we store them at home. A little bit adds up to a lot. When tourism in the village develops in the future, we can sell these stones as local specialties to tourists who come to visit and appreciate them."

The villagers were stunned when they heard this. "Tiantian, do you think this thing can really be sold for money?"
