At 4 o'clock in the morning, Jiang Qiuyun woke up. She is also a monk, has high energy, and does not need to sleep for seven or eight hours.
After waking up, I lingered with Lu Cheng for a while, then got up to practice swordsmanship, and then practiced Wu Qin Xi and Wu Qi Gui Yuan Jue.
Lu Cheng took out the incense burner, recited the incantation, and exuded rich spiritual energy. He practiced in this environment and made very rapid progress.
Because he ate the "Shenglong Pill" and the mulberries of the hibiscus tree, he reached the late stage of the second level of innateness and was not far from consummation.
Jiang Qiuyun's Qi of the five internal organs has also accumulated 60 to 70%, and she hopes to enter Xiantian in another year.
After breakfast, the two drove back to Daicheng.
Lu Cheng took out the rosewood, put it into a storage belt, and gave it to his father to handle.
Lu Tianming is responsible for the management of both the furniture store and the spice store. Lu Cheng has never been to the store.
This time, he rented a large truck, hauled 10 tons of rosewood, and went to the furniture store with his father.
The furniture store is small, with only about a dozen people in total, but it is led by a senior carpenter in his fifties, who pays attention to meticulous carving and an all-mortise and tenon wooden structure without using a single nail.
Lu Cheng moved a table and two chairs from the store. The furniture had been polished but not painted yet.
Zhang Danian, a senior carpenter in the store, asked curiously: "We have well-painted furniture, why don't you choose it?"
Lu Cheng smiled slightly and said, "I don't like the smell of paint."
There was still a lack of furniture in his small wooden house in another world. It would be too eye-catching if he brought beautifully painted tables and chairs. Even the unpainted tables and chairs felt too exquisitely made. But because there were no
Iron nails and the like are still acceptable.
Zhang Danian was full of praise for the newly arrived 10 tons of rosewood!
"This is an authentic huanghuali with bright colors and clear and beautiful texture. Such thick wood is really rare! Did you know? Even for small materials, the current price is 18 million per ton! For large materials like this,
Even if it costs 50 million per ton, people are rushing to get it! Mr. Lu, where did you get all this wood?"
The Mr. Lu he asked about was Lu Tianming. He was just a carpenter and didn't care about national affairs. He didn't know what Lu Cheng did. In his eyes, Lu Cheng was just an ordinary young man.
Lu Tianming pretended to be mysterious and said: "The source of the wood is a secret."
Zhang Danian laughed and said: "It is said that huanghuali is a national first-class protected plant. It can grow so big that it is equivalent to the king of trees! Not to mention that it cannot be cut down on Hainan Island in China, even in Vietnam, it is not allowed to cut down, right? I
I just don’t understand, where did you get the wood?”
Rosewood is one of the five famous trees, and is divided into Hainan huanghuali, Vietnamese huanghuali, Indonesia and Myanmar also have huanghuali, the varieties are slightly different, but they are all precious wood. Wild Hainan huanghuali is produced on Hainan Island, among which Baisha
, Dongfang, Changjiang, Ledong, Sanya and Haikou are the main production areas. They generally grow on hillsides below 350 meters above sea level. The precious Hainan Huanghuali mainly grows in the Li area, especially the Hainan Huanghuali in the Wangxia area of Changjiang.
Rosewood is the most precious.
Lu Tianming waved his hand: "Don't say it, don't say it."
Zhang Danian could only suppress his doubts and immerse himself in work.
Lu Cheng and Jiang Qiuyun stayed in Daicheng for two days, and then drove to Suzhou. Because the winter in Quancheng is a bit cold, the climate in Suzhou is slightly warmer.
According to Jiang Qiuyun, if you still feel cold, go to Yunnan and build a courtyard to live in!
Lu Cheng has a very good impression of Cangshan Erhai Lake in Yunnan, and it is close to the origin of jade. You can go shopping when you are bored, so he completely agrees with her proposal.
Originally, the average temperature in Suzhou in winter was 2c~9c. In recent years, due to a bright rune fireball in the sky, the temperature has increased by 2 degrees. The average daytime temperature in winter is 11c. Wear a jacket or suit and a thin sweater.
.
Moreover, what Jiang Qiuyun likes most is that the vegetation in Suzhou is still green in winter. If it were Quancheng, there would only be winter wheat in the fields and green grass on the ditch slopes sheltered from the wind, while the pines and cypresses on the mountains would be pale black.
Qiucheng Garden, after two months apart, is still quiet and quiet.
The 4.5-acre garden is approximately square with a side length of 54 meters. Except for one villa, flowers, plants and trees are planted in other areas. It is taken care of by professional gardeners, and housekeeper Liu Qingcheng comes to inspect it every day.
Of course, spending money is inevitable. If you don’t have money, who will help you manage it?
Lu Cheng doesn't need to worry about these. Jiang Qiuyun earns a lot of money, but she doesn't know how to spend it.
Lu Cheng never asked her about her income. Even if he was short of money and wanted to invest more, he would not bother her because buying stocks is addictive.
There is no way to buy the stocks of thousands of companies!
The two of them settled in Qiucheng Garden, feeling peaceful and peaceful.
In addition to practicing cultivation, Jiang Qiuyun also writes books, and when she is writing books, she is in a happy mood, the heavenly orifice above her head opens, and spiritual energy falls from the sky and fills her internal organs. This is a special way of cultivation.
In this state, her soul and thinking are very active, her thoughts are flowing like a fountain, her index finger is beating on the keyboard, and paragraphs of text appear on the screen like running water.
For her, writing is like weaving a dream, which is very relaxing and enjoyable, but revising is more painful. Especially revising over and over again to compress a 3 million-word novel into more than 2 million words is too torturous.
!
Lu Cheng said to her: "I suggest you find a personal assistant to help you revise your article."
Jiang Qiuyun smiled bitterly: "It's easy to hire someone, but they can only do text correction. I have to do the serious revision myself."
"It would be nice to help you with the text correction. At least it can save some time."
"Well, what you said makes sense."
She contacted her senior sister Luo Yingjing and asked her if she knew any junior classmates who were willing to do part-time work as word correction.
Luo Yingjing is a doctoral candidate and also works as a teaching assistant. She replied to help her ask questions.
After a few hours, Luo Yingjing recommended a female student who was a sophomore in the Literature Department of Qilu University, named "Yao Jing". She was from Zhejiang, from an ordinary family, studied hard, and had good writing skills.
Jiang Qiuyun added Yao Jing's QQ and video chatted with her for a while.
Yao Jing is 20 years old, with a dignified appearance and a gentle personality. She said she likes to write poetry and sent Jiang Qiuyun a modern poem and a seven-character ancient poem.
Jiang Qiuyun looked at it and praised: "Your poems are well written. Keep up the hard work and you will have a bright future. Can you tell me why you like writing poems?"
Yao Jing chuckled and said, "Because there was a poet in my ancestor, Yao Xie, have you heard of it?"
"I've heard of it. Does this mean you have a family background?" Jiang Qiuyun casually looked it up on the computer.
Yao Xie (1805-1864) wrote more than 1,000 words and more than 12,000 poems. His ancestral home was Zhuji, Zhejiang. His grandfather Yao Yun wrote a collection of poems. His father Yao Cheng was a scholar in the county. His family was poor. Yao Xie had
A self-statement of "Fifth generation Confucianism, frugality and sincerity are appropriate". Although Yao Xie was highly talented and knowledgeable, he was very unsatisfied in the examination room and failed to pass the examination three times.
Yao Jing said that she was willing to help correct the text, and she had both time and energy.
Writing poetry is different from writing novels. Writing novels, especially online novels, is purely a kung fu job. Sitting in front of the computer every day is like playing mahjong, and you sit for most of the day. Writing poetry requires inspiration. Once you have inspiration, you will be there soon.
You can write it, but if you have no inspiration, racking your brains is useless.
In order to make money, Yao Jing also works as a tutor on weekdays. Reviewing manuscripts can open up ideas and improve literary standards, which is much better than being a tutor.
Jiang Qiuyun made an agreement with her to correct the text for a fee and provide revision suggestions.
Her "Clouds Rising from the Sky Mountain" has been revised three times, but there is no guarantee that there are no typos.
She passed the novel to Yao Jing and asked her to read it one last time and mark out any doubts or fallacies.
Jiang Qiuyun taught Yao Jing how to download the review software and how to make a logo next to it.
Because this was the first time we collaborated and it was Sanxiu’s article, she only asked Yao Jing to make the logo and not allow her to modify it directly.
