"Hiss, did you just make this dish?" Carpenter Lian didn't even ask Yuan Zhou to take it himself. He directly reached his hand into the box in excitement.

"This is it." Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

"Exquisite, exquisite." Carpenter Lian picked up a bowl and fiddled with it with his yellow fingers for a while before he figured out the mechanism in Yuan Zhou's bowl.

"Kada." A light sound came from the bowl, and then a passage for the meatball to roll down was revealed.

"Not bad, not bad." Carpenter Lian said 'not bad' twice in a row. Clearly, he was very satisfied.

Thank you for your praise, Carpenter Lian." Yuan Zhou nodded his head and said.

"What's there to be humble about? this is what I should do. If it's good, then it's good. " Carpenter Lian raised his head and took a look at Yuan Zhou before he lowered his head and continued to look at his work.

"Although you didn't use any amazing skills to make this bowl, it's meticulously made. It's also exquisitely polished and very beautiful. The mechanism is also well designed." Carpenter Lian said.

"Yes, I'm not very good at carpentry. I can only use some simple and practical skills to fit them. I'll try my best to do it to the best of my ability." Yuan Zhou directly nodded his head and replied to Carpenter Lian.

Perfect ... Carpenter Lian mumbled to himself. In his heart, he was scolding his disciple for not being able to live up to his expectations. However, he still nodded his head and said,""Indeed, these techniques are quite common, but what's rare is that you're so meticulous."

"I only know the basics." Yuan Zhou nodded his head earnestly and said.

Even Carpenter Lian, who was known for his shamelessness, blushed when he saw Yuan Zhou nod his head and admit it in such a serious manner.

That's right. Although Yuan Zhou indeed didn't use any lost woodworking skills, the craftsmanship of the wooden bowl itself was absolutely exquisite.

Even if Carpenter Lian's long-time apprentice and Yuan Zhou were to make such a bowl at the same time, they would not be able to reach Yuan Zhou's level.

That was because Yuan Zhou's craftsmanship of the wooden bowl was so meticulous that it was extremely strict. In other words, he could make it to the fullest, which was definitely not something that ordinary people could compare with.

Moreover, Yuan Zhou himself didn't know how to carve wood. Carpenter Lian naturally knew about this. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked him to make the cabinet last time.

In such a short period of time, Yuan Zhou had handed in such a beautiful answer sheet for woodworking. For Carpenter Lian, this was simply a miracle.

The reason why Carpenter Lian said that at the beginning was to tell Yuan Zhou not to be proud. However, he didn't expect that Yuan Zhou would not be proud at all. Instead, he really felt that he was still far from being able to do that. This made Carpenter Lian feel both upset and happy.

He was happy because Yuan Zhou was not proud at all and thus, there was still room for improvement. He was sad because he had such excellent woodworking skills and yet he was not proud and had such a good attitude. However, he was a chef.

It was so unbearable that Carpenter Lian's heart felt like it was burning.

"This is simply a waste of God's gift." When Carpenter Lian took out the small ornaments from the box, he felt even more uncomfortable.

"What's wrong?" Yuan Zhou looked at Carpenter Lian's constantly changing face with puzzlement and asked.

The sculpting skills of non-ingredients provided by the system were all related to the kitchen. There was naturally no top-notch carpentry skill. After all, the goal of the system was to cultivate Yuan Zhou to become a master chef.

Yuan Zhou knew very well that his woodworking skills were only at the ordinary Level. Therefore, when he looked at Carpenter Lian's expression, he thought that he felt that such a simple woodwork was not worth his attention.

Putting himself in Yuan Zhou's shoes, if he were to ask an apprentice who had just learned how to cook to cook, he would naturally feel uncomfortable.

Yuan Zhou felt that compared to Carpenter Lian's woodworking skills, he was only at the level of someone who had just learned how to fire.

It was like a programmer instructing a noob who only knew how to turn on and off a computer.

Therefore, Yuan Zhou lowered his attitude and really asked Carpenter Lian to examine him.

"It's fine. I think the decorations look real. They're also made of small materials. They're not carved out of one piece, are they?" Carpenter Lian said.

"Because this way, you can practice your woodworking skills better." Yuan Zhou nodded his head and said.

"This Pavilion is well made. There are no gaps in the joining and it's very stable. What did you use?" Carpenter Lian pointed at the small pavilion and asked.

"It's made of edible gelatin, and then some cooked glutinous rice starch. " Yuan Zhou said in full detail.

"I see that you put some thought into the tables and chairs inside. Are they all made like this?" Carpenter Lian said.

"Yes, because it's too small, it's not easy to make a contract, so I used the dip method to make it." While saying that, Yuan Zhou was a little shy.

Yuan Zhou knew that those skilled carpenters would never use a nail-like adhesive, no matter the size. For example, the one in front of him would never do that.

"You've already done quite well. " Carpenter Lian said with a smile.

"Thank you," he said. Yuan Zhou nodded his head and said.

"I can see that you have some ideas about mortises, don't you?" Carpenter Lian put down the bowl and ornaments in his hands and asked Yuan Zhou while looking at him seriously.

"I've carefully looked at the wooden cabinet you made for me. It's very exquisite and beautiful, but I really don't know how to do this. " Yuan Zhou said directly.

"This thing can be said to be simple, but it can also be said to be difficult." Carpenter Lian kept Yuan Zhou in suspense. When he saw Yuan Zhou listening to him seriously, he continued,""However, the bowl you made has a bit of mortises and tenons in it, but it's the simplest kind. It's not bad."

"I'm here today mainly to ask Carpenter Lian to help me open my eyes. It would be even better if he could give me some pointers." Yuan Zhou said directly.

Although Yuan Zhou wasn't good at socializing, he could still sense whether others liked him or not. Therefore, he said it directly.

"That's easy. After all, you're old man Zhou's man. I'll let you experience my unique skills today. Follow me." When Carpenter Lian heard Yuan Zhou's words, he immediately calmed down and then said solemnly.

Thank you, Carpenter Lian." Yuan Zhou was overjoyed and immediately said.

"Why are you being so polite? just follow me." Carpenter Lian led Yuan Zhou all the way to the back.

They walked directly to the place where Yuan Zhou cooked the three fragrance to the ocean last time and then led the others to a room on the left.

The house had two closed wooden doors. Carpenter Lian pushed open the wooden door, revealing an empty space inside. There was not much complete furniture inside. They were all scattered here and there.

"This is where I usually work. You came at the right time. There's a yellow Rosewood Chair here. You can take a good look at how the collar is made." With his back to Yuan Zhou, Carpenter Lian revealed an expression of determination.

"A pin-piercing ring? It's because the perpetual cabinet and circular chairs were used a lot during the Ming Dynasty, but they are basically lost now. I didn't expect you to know how to do it. " Yuan Zhou sighed with emotion.

"You know quite a lot, kid. That's it." Carpenter Lian nodded in satisfaction.

"I know a little." Yuan Zhou said.

"Then, do you know about tenons, hollow nails, and hand tenons?" Carpenter Lian continued to ask.

"I've read some information. " Yuan Zhou said honestly.

"Do you know about this?" Carpenter Lian asked as he picked up two pieces of wood that were tied into a cross.

"This is a three-spring drill." Yuan Zhou said.

"It's good that you know. Let's just wait and see. " Carpenter Lian nodded his head in satisfaction and then got ready to start.

Carpenter Lian had deliberately tested Yuan Zhou just now. Naturally, he hoped that Yuan Zhou would understand it better. After all, the more he understood, the more he would know how rare and precious the skill he would be using later was.

The layman would watch the show, while the expert would look at the tricks. Naturally, it would be easier to trick someone who was neither inside nor outside.
