Chapter 607 603. Wood
Mr. Luo Luo is a wood picker, who is responsible for picking out wood.

The first thing Luo Yihang thought of was to make a weapon.

A long stick, a gun barrel, or Mr. Gou Gou’s signature weapon, the Panlong stick.

Grandpa Gonggong stood up, turned his head and waved his hand contemptuously at Luo Yihang, "These materials are not good."

"Why not? I think it's fine. There's a long one here, straight and smooth."

Luo Yihang casually pulled out a long branch, which seemed to be a main branch at the bottom of the oak tree. It was as thick as a bowl, long and straight, with few branches in the middle.

Hold the tail end horizontally under the ribs, keep still for two seconds, then suddenly pull your hand back and poke forward. The tip of the more than two-meter-long branch does not move at all, and even the gun flower does not shake out, which shows that it is quite hard.

Luo Yihang was so smart that he couldn't use the Liuhe Spear stance in front of Master Luo Luo, so he used the Ping Spear from the Twenty-Four Arm Postures.

The most basic of basic skills.

After reading it, Grandpa Gonggong nodded silently, feeling very relieved.

"Okay, the kid is not bad, his kung fu has improved, and he hasn't been lazy."

Luo Yihang raised the corner of his mouth and accepted the compliment without hesitation.

As his strength improved in recent months, Luo Yihang found that he didn't need to use the internal martial arts to store energy and increase power, so he was more inclined to the external martial arts taught by Grandpa Luo.

However, Luo Yihang did not dare to say that he was now better at using the whip because Grandpa couldn't do it.

Instead, the topic turned back to "I think this material is good. It can be made into a gun barrel without any problem."

The wood that is nourished by spiritual energy, even if it is just a little bit that spreads when the spirit gathering array is stuck, is still stronger than ordinary wood.

Uncle Gonggong nodded, then shook his head and said with a smile: "The material is good, but it is not good for making tools."

"Why?" Luo Yihang didn't understand.

"Let's not talk about the fact that all of your wood is oak and pine, which is not the right material for making tools. Just look at where the wood grows." Grandpa Gou Gou turned around and pointed to the north. "The wood used to make tools has to grow on the shady side, but your wood is all on the sunny side."

Well, the prerequisite is screwed.

Luo Yihang threw down the branch in his hand.

Uncle Gonggong also opened up and told Luo Yihang what good materials are.

This move of his requires great power and is heavy, swift as the wind, quick to start, and short in stiffness.

I have always played with hardwood weapons.

Therefore, when choosing materials, I prefer the dragon cypress, diamondwood and mountain elm growing on the shady side of the Qinling Mountains.

Trees growing on the shady side have dense internal texture, small temperature difference, similar growth rate in winter and summer, uniform wood fibers, and are not easily broken when hit hard.

Among them, cypress and diamond wood are hardest and heaviest.

Alpine elm is also a hardwood, but slightly lighter.

Uncle Gou Gou's Panlong stick is made of diamond wood. He was very powerful when he wielded it when he was young, but now he is old and can no longer wield it.

That long hardwood spear, or lance, is made of mountain elm and can still be used for a few moves.

After understanding these.

Luo Yihang asked again, "What are you looking for?"

"Pick a piece of material."

"Ah?" Still picking materials?

“Make a rolling pin.”

"Oh~~"

"These materials can't be used to make gun barrels or sticks, but they are good for making furniture. What do you plan to do with them?" asked Uncle Luo Luo.

Luo Yihang replied: "I plan to crush them and ferment them to raise earthworms. I have expanded the earthworm farm by 20 mu, and the amount of feed required is high."

Upon hearing this, the wrinkles on Grandpa Gonggong's face twisted, "Why do you raise so many? If you want to loosen the soil, just dig in the ditch."

His tone was full of disdain.

Ha, I didn't realize that Uncle Luo Luo was afraid of earthworms, no wonder he never went to the earthworm farm. "It's not for my use..."

Luo Yihang told Uncle Gou Gou about how the typhoon in Hainan had damaged 70,000 acres of fertile farmland, turning it into high-salt-alkali land, and that earthworms were needed to improve and restore the land.

After listening to this, although Grandpa Gonggong still looked disgusted, his wrinkles smoothed out. He stroked his beard and nodded, "Relationships still have this use, so nurture them. You should nurture them."

As he spoke, his eyes unconsciously looked towards the pile of branches again.

"Uncle Gonggong." Luo Yihang called out, "Do you have any ideas? It's okay. Earthworms eat everything. You can even shovel fallen leaves from the mountains to feed them. If you think it's useful, just tell me."

"Not that it's useful. I just think it's not easy to grow up like this. Even if it's just making furniture."

"Sure, no problem. There's plenty of wood. Why don't you ask around in the village and see if anyone wants to replace their furniture? I'll provide the wood and hire a carpenter. We can replace everything."

Little things.
-
Grandpa Gonggong thought so too. It was a good thing for the villagers to see the kids growing up and wanting to respect their elders.

He simply didn't even bother looking for a rolling pin, and went back to the village with his hands behind his back to call for help.

By the way, ask if anyone knows a good carpenter.

Alas, it’s hard to find a good carpenter these days.

Luo Yihang was reminded by Grandpa Gou Gou that it was a bit of a waste to use so many trees and shrubs to feed earthworms.

I simply leaned against the pile of trees, compared the current materials, and used my mobile phone to search for what I could do.

As a result, he actually discovered a problem.

A lot of pine trees were cut down this time, and the pine needles they brought back were still green, fresh.

The volatile oil contained in fresh pine needles will affect the activity of microorganisms and the formation of metabolites during the fermentation process, so pretreatment is required before fermentation.

It's troublesome.

These volatile oils can be made into perfume.

The whole try?

Luo Yihang returned to the office and asked around.

Luo Yihang’s network is now very impressive.

It was easy to ask the professionals at the Agricultural University who were researching spice and flavor technology.

After making a phone call to ask for advice, I found that making perfume, essence, and fragrance are all similar. The basic process is quite simple, and the main difficulty is to determine the formula.

In fact, those perfume brands also use manual methods to formulate their products, because what is needed is not technology, but inspiration.

Inspiration! Luo Yihang feels very proud of himself.

So I decided to give it a try myself first, since the project would take more than half a month to complete anyway.

I requested a document and purchased the corresponding equipment.

Not long after I finished here, the village head’s wife called.

Ask Luo Yihang if he really wants to replace the furniture for the villagers?
"Of course I did. I cut down a lot of trees on the mountain. The wood is all good. It's a ready-made material, and it would be a waste to leave it alone. I can just hire a carpenter to do it."

Luo Yihang answered very casually.

The village head's grandmother also knew that this was nothing to Luo Yihang, so she agreed readily.

"Okay, then I'll do some statistics and ask the villagers to sign up. By the way, your seventh master's son said there is an old carpenter in Hutou Village who has good skills and is a very honest person."

Hutou Village?
No one knew where Luo Yihang was.

But since Qi Ye's family introduced him, I might as well ask him to come over and make a few pieces of furniture for me to try out.

The village head lady took on the responsibility and went to find Master Qi.

Turn around.

The son of Master Qi, using his small truck that he used to deliver goods to supermarkets, picked up an old man who looked a bit arrogant.

The most special thing is that he only has seven fingers...
