"I've brought my tools," Yuan Zhou took out a working attire box and said.

"I've already prepared mine, but you can also use yours. " Carpenter Lian waved his hand and said.

"Thank you, master." Yuan Zhou nodded his head and thanked her.

"Alright, alright. Let's go. An hour isn't long." Carpenter Lian walked quickly and arrived at the studio that Yuan Zhou had visited last time in just a few steps.

This studio was Carpenter Lian's own carpentry room. The room was as large as 100 square meters. When Yuan Zhou came here last time, it was still quite empty with piles of wood, tools, and some semi-finished furniture.

But now, it was clearly divided into two parts, one on the left and the other on the right, with the same size.

There were two large woodworking tables on the left and right sides of the room, as well as a complete set of woodworking tools. There was a Luban ruler, which was one foot, four inches, and four inches long, and a complete set of chisels, chisels, and flat shovels.

There was also a shiny silver axe. The axe was a necessary tool for the old Carpenter, especially when he went out. It could be used for self-defense and to ward off evil, as well as to represent his identity.

In addition to these, there were also several rulers at the side. The common ones such as the triangle ruler, the right-angle ruler, the movable ruler, the umbrella ruler, and so on were all placed at the side. Beside the rulers were hammers made of goat's horn. These hammers were not used to knock iron nails, but to hammer mortises.

Other than that, there were also the wood files used to file the holes, corners, grooves, or to repair irregular surfaces of the components, and the drag drill, which was rarely used for drilling.

There were also four saws of different styles and an ink fountain, which was commonly known as the class monitor. These were the tools that were the same on both sides. The only difference was that Carpenter Lian had a few plane at his side. Other than the three common ones, namely rough plane, fine plane, and light plane, there were also two groove planes and line planes. However, the right side did not have these tools.

Carpenter Lian had even prepared some rarely used tools for Yuan Zhou.

There were a lot of these tools, but they were all neatly placed there. Each tool was made of high-quality wood, and the handles were very round, and the edges looked extremely sharp.

It was precisely because there were so many tools that Carpenter Lian didn't think Yuan Zhou would bring such a complete set of tools everywhere. Therefore, he directly prepared a set for Yuan Zhou. Moreover, it was personally made by Carpenter Lian in a rush for two days.

"I'll help you with the woodwork in the places where there are no plane knives. Those plane knives are easy to use only after I've made them myself." Carpenter Lian pointed to the right and said.

"I know, master, but I have two here that are enough for now." While saying that, Yuan Zhou took out two sets of plane.

One of Yuan Zhou's plane was a small and delicate hand plane while the other was of medium size, which could be used for medium-level woodwork.

"You can't have too many planes. If you're empty, you can make a few more." Carpenter Lian looked at Yuan Zhou's tools and said with a nod.

"Alright," he said. Yuan Zhou went up and answered seriously while holding the tools.

"I see that you only have bowls and plates. I'll teach you how to make a wooden bowl with the carving nested method. It'll be easier as long as you can do the rest." The first thing Carpenter Lian said was that his craftsmanship was at the level of a master.

It didn't give Yuan Zhou any time to adapt to the new environment at all. It started with a hell level difficulty.

With an indifferent expression, Yuan Zhou stared at Carpenter Lian earnestly, waiting for his teaching. He didn't seem to be afraid at all.

Seeing Yuan Zhou's performance, Carpenter Lian nodded his head with satisfaction again.

"No matter what, you should study seriously and not complain. At least you should have the spirit to not be afraid of hardships and difficulties." Carpenter Lian thought to himself.

"You'll use the wedge nested method to make the bowl. First, I won't ask you to make it more varied and beautiful. The first requirement is that the bowl can't leak water." Carpenter Lian said as he picked up the tools.

"I will work hard." Yuan Zhou said.

"Don't say so many pretty words. It still depends on your skills. Watch carefully." Carpenter Lian waved his hand and said.

"Yes." This time, Yuan Zhou just nodded his head and said nothing.

One hour was really not a long time. Previously, Carpenter Lian had spent 10 minutes looking at the sketchbook that Yuan Zhou handed to him. Therefore, he only had 50 minutes left.

Within the 50 minutes, Carpenter Lian used only 40 minutes to make a wooden bowl the size of an adult man's palm with his superb skills.

The wooden bowl had already been assembled, and it looked as if a piece of wood as thick as the mouth of a bowl had been taken out directly. There were no signs of joining together on the surface, and one could even see the continuous wood texture.

"Take a good look. This bowl is for you. You can make it yourself tomorrow." Carpenter Lian passed the wooden bowl to Yuan Zhou.

"Yes." Yuan Zhou looked at the wooden bowl seriously without even raising his head. He just answered with a random "hmm."

"There are only ten minutes left. Pay attention to the time. I'm not going to send you off." After saying that, Carpenter Lian left the studio and went to see his other disciples in the outer court.

Yuan Zhou nodded his head and said "okay" loudly. During the process, he still didn't raise his head and just stared at the wooden bowl earnestly.

"I'll tear it down when I get back and I should be able to understand it better. " Yuan Zhou thought to himself while holding the wooden bowl.

While Yuan Zhou's woodworking skills were on the right track, someone was preparing to find trouble with Yuan Zhou aggressively on the other side.

And it was not just one person, but a group of people. These people were almost all wearing the simplest short-sleeved Tang suit, holding teacups in their hands as they sat around drinking tea and talking.

The topic of their conversation revolved around the matter of Yuan Zhou winning the title of exemplary restaurant with numbing and spiciness. That was because the older generation of Sichuan cuisine chefs had already been very disgusted with Sichuan cuisine, which had numbing and spiciness as its selling point and representative.

However, these four people were all Sichuan cuisine Masters of the older generation. The old man in the gray Tang suit was burly. His name was Qian Yun, and he was 67 years old this year. He had started learning how to cook Sichuan cuisine at the age of 13 and had only retired for five or six years.

The other old man, who was wearing a short-sleeved white Tang suit, had white hair and looked the oldest. He was small, but his stomach was big. He was slightly fat and his face was gentle. His name was Yang Rui.

The only old man who wasn't wearing a Tang suit was of medium build, and his hair was neatly combed. His name was Chen Zhou. The last and most excited man was Zhou da, who was a little younger, about 50 years old.

Zhou da was very angry. He was so angry that his face was red. When he spoke, his saliva was spurting out. "Don't you think that Zhang Yan is stupid? the Sichuan cuisine exemplary restaurant actually won with spicy taste."

"Zhang Yan is the chairman of our Sichuan cuisine, so mind your words." Chen Zhou, whose hair and speech were both meticulous, said with a frown.

"I think he's right. Our Sichuan cuisine has all kinds of flavors, and each dish has a grid. Now, he says that we're both spicy and numbing. This time, he even chose a numbing and numbing dish as the exemplary restaurant. This is ridiculous." The burly Qian Yun slammed the table and said.

"It's indeed inappropriate. No matter how good Yuan Zhou's craftsmanship is, it can't represent our Sichuan cuisine. The numbing and spicy taste is just one of the 24 flavors. How can it represent us?" Yang Rui, who had a gentle expression, also shook his head and said.

"I heard that he can cook all Sichuan cuisines. I think he's good at numbing and spicy." Zhou DA's tone did not have any disdain, but he just thought so.
