Dashan Orchard 1988

Chapter 54: Impersonation (Additional update on Tuesday, please follow up)
"The best jujube wood, you can touch it and knock it, you will see how strong it is. I am not here to tell you how strong it is, but in my carriage, if you pull something weighing a thousand kilograms, the carriage won't even breathe."

"What are you bragging about? Your carriage weighs a thousand pounds. Can the wheels of the carriage bear it?"

"That is, we must tell the truth and seek truth from facts, but we cannot deceive others."

"Hey, I'm telling you, why are you trying to dismantle me? We all do our own business. Brother, don't listen to them. I promise you, this carriage is definitely not big. I'll give you another one later. Put on the good wheels, I guarantee that you will be satisfied with the use, and it will run no slower than that car."

"Listen, where did this go? It's a car. Have you ever seen a car? I think you look like a car."

"If you keep talking, see if I don't slap you loudly!"

"Come on, whip here. I was just thinking about lying on the kang and waiting for someone to take care of me. Come now, otherwise I will be your grandson..."

Li Muyang watched these living treasures chattering here and couldn't help but interrupt them.

"Is it really Zaomu?"

"Of course, we are all fellow villagers, so I can't lie to you. Look at this gap, what is it if it's not Zaomu?"

Li Muyang looked where he pointed, and after just one glance, he smiled bitterly and said, "Where is this jujube wood? It's obviously poplar wood. You still said you wouldn't lie to me..."

"Where's the poplar? Do you know the poplar?"

Li Muyang thought, what you told me about the tree is really just Luban playing with a big ax in front of the door. I have worked in a nursery for so many years. If nothing else, I can just find a wooden wedge at random. I just need to smell it and see it. Touch it and you can immediately tell what it is.

As for these most common types of wood, they are so simple that they can be distinguished immediately by just looking at them.

This guy talks nonsense and swears so confidently.

Turns out he wasn't honest either.

He stopped looking at this guy's things and looked at the other two houses one after another. He found that their wood was all poplar, and he felt helpless.

Poplar is a poplar tree, which is a very common tree growing in the northwest. There was a song in the past that said: "The bird leads the way, the poplar tree rustles", which refers to this kind of tree.

This tree has advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that it grows very fast. A small sapling can grow into a towering tree in less than ten years.

And this tree also has a very good point——

It's very straight.

The branch joints of the poplar tree are very small. As long as they are pruned on time, they will not produce branches, and the pruned branches will not form too big scars.

Therefore, poplar trees are very convenient for cutting boards.

The biggest trouble when using many log products is that the trees are too thin and the cut boards are too narrow. Many boards need to be processed together to complete a large wooden product.

Moreover, when cutting boards, these joints that have grown past the tree branches will also leave scars, which is neither beautiful nor reasonable use of the boards.

Therefore, when people choose wood, they will not choose wood that can easily produce branches.

Instead, choose wood with small joints such as pine, cypress, oak and other branches.

However, these trees have a fatal flaw, that is, the growth cycle is too slow.

As the saying goes, it takes ten years to grow a tree, but in fact, ten years is simply not enough for a decent pine tree to grow to the stage where it can be cut.

At least for 30 years.

If you have to use pine trees that are ten years old, the wood will be very thin and consist of thin boards, which is difficult to handle.

But aspen trees are just fine.

It grows quickly and can become very thick easily.

It has small joints and can be used well.

Therefore, if the wood products are not very demanding, they can be made of poplar wood.

For example, some tables, benches, boxes, etc.

But poplar wood also has a fatal shortcoming, that is, because of its rapid growth cycle, the wood's fineness is very poor.

For wood of the same thickness, poplar is much lighter than pine.

It is because of its loose wood.

Wood products made of this kind of wood have some shortcomings.

For example, it is easy to break.

It’s easy to attract bugs.

It looks thinner and lighter.Because of this shortcoming, aspen is not a wood that can be grown on a countertop.

The degree of use is not as high as that of pine, cypress, oak, and certainly not that of fir, etc.

But pine wood is relatively expensive, and when people use it, they are reluctant to part with it, or they can't easily afford it.

Under normal circumstances, some wood with similar properties will be found as a substitute.

For example, if you are only pursuing fineness and solidity, then use jujube wood, elm wood, apple wood, etc. instead.

If you want to take advantage of the elasticity of wood, it's oak, willow, etc.

These woods are relatively cheap, they are common woods, and ordinary people can afford them.

Li Muyang didn't long for a pine car. He at least wanted an elm or jujube car.

After all, it is not meant to be used for a day or two, nor is it hung for people to see, so the quality must be guaranteed.

These three guys are not honest.

They all want to use poplar wood instead of jujube wood to deceive people. They are really unscrupulous.

The conscience is so bad.

The three of them did not expect that Li Muyang could actually recognize the processed wood, and they were immediately embarrassed and said nothing.

Li Muyang was worried. There were only three people selling cars here. If he didn't buy from them, where would he buy the car from?

Suddenly I saw an old man sleeping on a brand new frame truck in the corner in front.

With a straw hat covering his face, he was sleeping soundly as if no one was around.

There was a busy city around him, but it didn't seem to have any effect on him.

Li Muyang walked over and shouted softly: "Uncle, is the car under you for sale?"

"hu~hu~"

The old man didn't hear it and continued to sleep soundly.

Li Muyang had no choice but to shake his arm. The old man suddenly jumped out of the car and sat in the carriage looking at Li Muyang.

"What are you doing?"

"Uncle, I want to ask, are you selling this frame car?"

"Of course, if it's not for sale, am I just going to watch it?"

The old man glared at him angrily, stretched, opened the teacup next to him, and took a sip of strong tea.

This strong tea is really strong.

The tea leaves are already filled more than half way.

Judging from the appearance of the tea leaves, it should be cheap fine tea leaves with no tea leaves in it.

It is in line with the characteristics of elderly people drinking tea.

Li Muyang's mother-in-law likes this kind of tea very much, saying that tea is her life.

If you don't drink tea every day, people will become less energetic.

I have to rely on a cup of tea in the morning and evening.

If people go to see her, they don't need anything. As long as they bring her a can of tea, she will be very happy and say that they understand her.

Otherwise, even if you bring other nice things, you may not be able to please her.

"Uncle, did you make this car yourself?"

Li Muyang didn't have any objection to the old man's indifferent attitude. Many old men here were like this.

He was more concerned about the car under the old man.

I wasn't sure from a distance, but I smelled a familiar smell when I walked closer.

This car is made of elm wood.

　There will be more updates until 23:00 in the evening.

　　This way, there is a greater chance of resurrection. I didn’t mean to separate the updates. Please forgive me for being a humble author with no popularity.
