Chapter 19 Sun Shouzheng
Early the next morning.
Urged on by Su Wuming, Su Wuchen got up early.
Yawning and rubbing his eyes, Su Wuchen stepped out of his room and was stunned when he saw the breakfast laid out on the table.
"Time to eat, bro."
"Wait, when did you learn this skill?"
Su Wuchen looked at the breakfast on the table with a suspicious expression, then looked up at Su Wuming.
Their parents passed away early, and the two of them lived with their grandfather from a young age. Although they were both his biological children, their grandfather clearly favored him more.
As he grew older, Su Wuchen gradually took on the role of the older brother. With his and his grandfather's care, Su Wuming naturally rarely entered the kitchen.
But now, Su Wuming has actually made a breakfast that looks quite appetizing, which makes Su Wuchen a little surprised.
Su Wuming smiled and said, "Self-taught."
Su Wuchen was delighted. After breakfast, the two opened the shop door.
Su Wuming used a feather duster to quickly clean the dust off the items, while Su Wuchen checked the store's inventory.
Memorial tablets are something that every funeral parlor has.
But Su Wuchen only glanced at them before putting down the beechwood memorial tablets.
"Amin, I'm going to buy some timber. You stay here and watch the shop."
"Brother, let me go with you."
Su Wuming turned his head and looked over, "Get Grandpa a better piece of wood."
Su Wuchen smiled and nodded; the two of them had the same idea.
"OK."
They closed the shop, got into their car, and drove away.
Some say sandalwood is good for making memorial tablets because it is not only durable but also has a pleasant fragrance that can soothe the souls of the deceased. Others say camphor wood is good because it is a symbol of good fortune and can gain the approval of the spirits...
of course.
There are also many wealthy and powerful people who use expensive rosewood to make memorial tablets.
The 18-year-old pickup truck stopped at the timber market.
The timber market was bustling with people.
"Exquisite century-old ebony, a rare find in the world, don't miss it if you pass by."
"Top-grade lightning-struck wood, the perfect choice for crafting flying swords, come and take a look!"
"A Buddhist prayer bead bracelet personally blessed by a seventh-grade Buddhist cultivator; once worn, it can enhance the speed of one's comprehension of source energy..."
Su Wuchen led Su Wuming familiarly through the bustling streets and headed deeper into the area.
The familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar scenery made Su Wuming curious and want to walk around and look around. Several times he wanted to buy something, but Su Wuchen stopped him with a clap of his hands.
"Have you forgotten what Grandpa told you?"
"Choose the timber from the Sun family."
Su Wuming chuckled and put down the Buddhist prayer beads in his hand.
The restaurant had regular vegetable vendors, the Taoist priest had a family-run rice shop, and the funeral parlor naturally had timber merchants with whom they had long-term partnerships.
Outside the Sun family's timber shop, the Su brothers stopped in their tracks.
The shop wasn't very big. Inside, two shop assistants were busy introducing the timber, and a man around forty years old was engaged in a heated discussion.
Su Wuchen smiled and stepped forward, looking at the game that Sun Shouzhen was playing.
A world of warriors.
Sun Shouzhen is controlling a martial artist who is fighting a minor boss, a gang leader.
However, the character controlled by Sun Shouzhen was being completely suppressed by the mini-boss and was about to be defeated when Su Wuchen couldn't help but remind him, "Slide tackle from behind, use a groin strike underwater, and seriously injure him."
Just as Sun Shouzhen was tense and on the verge of defeat, upon hearing this, he subconsciously controlled his character, sliding around to the back of the mini-boss. He then used his longsword to perform a "Moonlight Scoop" attack, which greatly reduced the mini-boss's health bar. He then leaped up and slashed the mini-boss's weak point with his longsword, severely injuring it.
puff.
The mini-boss's health bar vanished instantly.
The little boss slowly collapsed to the ground, extremely unwilling, and then revealed the dialogue.
"Yay!"
Having successfully defeated the mini-boss, Sun Shouzhen looked around.
"Hey, who's got such talent? It's you, kid."
Sun Shouzhen laughed and tossed down the game stone, then punched Su Wuchen in the chest. "What, out of stock again? You could have just called. Why did you come all this way?"
Su Wuchen grinned: "Just giving you some pointers."
Sun Shouzhen was overjoyed.
Although he was more than ten years older than Su Wuchen, they shared similar interests and both liked playing video games.
Therefore, despite the age difference, the two have a very good relationship.
Especially when playing games, they would affectionately call each other "rebellious son".
"Brother Sun."
At this moment, Su Wuming, who was wandering around the shop, also came over and greeted them with a smile.
"Oh, what a rare guest!"
Sun Shouzhen chuckled and said, "How much material are you getting? You even brought your brother along?"
"Since this guy was taking a break and had nothing to do in the shop, I brought him out to play..."
Su Wuchen casually explained, "By the way, do you have any camphor wood left?"
"Are you kidding? How could my shop be short of that stuff?"
Sun Shouzhen glanced sideways. How could a timber shop not have any timber?
How many do you want?
"Pick a good one for me, I'll make a memorial tablet for the old man."
"Is that so..."
Sun Shouzhen nodded. "Come with me."
Su Wuchen and his companion followed Sun Shouzhen into the backyard. After passing through various pieces of wood, they entered a room filled with all sorts of odds and ends.
After searching for a while, Sun Shouzhen took out a cardboard box package that was more than half a meter long and handed it to Su Wuchen and the other person.
"How about this?"
Upon opening the outer packaging, a fragrant aroma wafts out, which then gradually fades.
Su Wuchen raised an eyebrow. "Good heavens, you have something this good?"
Sun Shouzhen laughed heartily, "Hey, when it comes to the wood for your old man's memorial tablet, would I give you anything inferior?"
"Okay, this is it."
Su Wuchen nodded. "How much?"
Sun Shouzhen waved his hand, "Take it, take it. Talking about money hurts feelings."
"That won't do..."
Su Wuchen shook his head.
A single section of ordinary camphor wood this length would cost a thousand or eight hundred yuan, not to mention that Sun Shouzhen provided top-quality goods, which would at least double the price.
Sun Shouzhen glanced at him sideways. "What, are you being so polite with your father?"
"You son of a bitch..."
Su Wuchen immediately laughed and scolded, "Hurry up."
Sun Shouzhen waved his hand, "I already told you to take it, don't bother with all this stuff."
After saying that, Sun Shouzhen pushed Su Wuchen and walked outside. As if he remembered something, he looked at Su Wuming, who was standing opposite the table and chairs.
Seeing Su Wuming staring intently at something, Sun Shouzhen glanced over and said, "What's on your mind, Ah Ming? I'll give it to you."
Su Wuming pointed to a piece of wood and said, "Brother Sun, I feel there's something strange about this wood."
"Which piece of wood...?"
Su Wuchen and Sun Shouzhen walked over and saw a piece of black wood, about the size of a palm, casually tossed on the shelf.
At first glance, this piece of wood doesn't look like wood at all; it looks more like a beautifully crafted piece of amber. However, due to external force, a corner of it was damaged, causing some damage to the figure statue inside the amber.
"Hey, you've got a better eye than him."
Sun Shouzhen was immediately amused and stepped forward to take the black wood. "I acquired this thing a few months ago. It's said that a martial artist brought it back from a secret realm. I played with it for a few days, but apart from its hard texture, I didn't discover any secrets, so I just left it here."
"Take it if you like."
