Xu Yang plans to do a leisurely live broadcast for a while today.

Take in the scenery and stroll around.

But there are always many unexpected surprises every day.

Xu Yang was resting in the woods with the leopard. At this moment, two black bears, Laohei and Erhei, appeared in Xu Yang's sight.

These two black bears also live in this forest.

They are neighbors of leopards.

However, there is no overlap between the two.

After all, they are all ferocious beasts, and no one wants to fight with the other and get hurt easily.

When the two black bears saw Xu Yang, they immediately trotted towards him happily.

The drone took pictures immediately and netizens became excited.

【The black bear is coming! 】

[Wow, all the beasts are gathered today! ]

[He raised all these children? No, the police didn't arrest him even though it was like this? Isn't this illegal?]

[The police just gave him a certificate and bonus. Why don’t you call the police? ]

There are a lot of people in the live broadcast room.

In reality, many people raise wild animals, and they keep them in cages for fear that the animals will do something out of line.

But wild beasts are still rare.

Just then, the two black bears and the leopard noticed each other.

They went from being relaxed to being alert, and immediately adopted threatening postures, sizing each other up cautiously.

Seeing them like this, Xu Yang hurriedly said:

"You three, stop fighting."

"It's fine."

After hearing Xu Yang's comfort, the leopard and the black bear felt a little calmer.

You know what, Xiaohua and Laohei usually look silly, but just now, the momentum that the two guys burst out was strong and a bit scary.

The beast is still a beast after all, it is just gentle in front of Xu Yang because it is close to him.

It would be completely different if someone else came.

Xiaohua ran to Xu Yang, leaned against him, and looked at the black bear with a vigilant look.

The two black bears turned around and left tactfully.

Cats are not to be trifled with.

It is impossible to let them live in peace rashly, so the current situation can be considered as an understanding.

Xu Yang was sitting high up on a hillside. There were few trees around the place and it was very empty.

There is grass all around, it's all green.

The scenery is very good.

I don't have anything to do today, so I'll just sit here for a while.

It’s really good to have money so you don’t have to struggle for a living.

Even if you just sit and rest for a day, it won’t be a problem.

Xiaohua was beside Xu Yang and accompanying him.

Xu Yang didn't comment on anything, but the popularity of the live broadcast room remained very high.

Everyone felt very comfortable looking at such a unique scenery.

After playing in the mountains for two hours, Xu Yang stood up, brushed the dirt off his pants, and prepared to go back.

He touched Xiaohua's head. Xiaohua understood what he meant and trotted away.

"That's all for today's live broadcast. In a few days, I'll think about where to go and then start the live broadcast again."

Xu Yang also said goodbye to his netizens and then strolled back to the farm.

As soon as I returned to the farm, I saw Marvin studying carpentry.

He found some wooden boards and planned to make a simple cabinet.

Xu Yang was surprised to see Ma Wen busying around, so he said:
"Why are you making a cabinet?"

Hearing this, Marvin smiled and replied:

"During the renovation some time ago, a lot of broken cabinets were thrown away and were still piled up in the warehouse. I thought it was a bit wasteful, so I took out all the usable wood and nailed a new cabinet."

"Wouldn't it cost a lot of money to buy a cabinet?"

"Captain, do you want to?"

Hearing Ma Wen's words, Xu Yang waved his hand and said:

"I don't need them. You can use them as you like. It's best to recycle them."

Xu Yang was planning to throw away the old furniture that he had found before.

He has money and doesn't lack these things, but his employees are all workers with a monthly salary of several thousand yuan. If they tidy up a little, they can still use them for themselves.

There are cabinets in the staff dormitory, but it would be nice to have two more.

Xu Yang returned to his yard and entered his two-story building.

Not to mention, when he went back and looked around, he found that the living room was indeed quite empty.

Apart from the sofa, coffee table, a set of tables and chairs, a TV and so on, there is nothing else.

For Xu Yang, his attention had always been on the e-sports room, which he decorated beautifully, but he did not pay much attention to other places.

After all, I only use it in the e-sports room and the bedroom every day, and it is not used anywhere else.

But when I came back and took a closer look, it was still too simple.

Minimalist style.

Xu Yang was still thinking about the layout, so he started thinking about the furniture.

When I went online, I was surprised to see that good furniture costs tens of thousands of dollars.

Even an ordinary cabinet costs more than ten thousand yuan.

"It's so expensive. We have a lot of this wood here. The price of furniture made from it will be at least 10 times higher."

“Considering the shipping and labor costs, it’s reasonable.”

Xu Yang thought to himself.

50% of the country’s timber comes from the Northeast forests. There is a lot of timber here, including top-quality timber.

A lot of the wood is shipped outside.

Some are shipped to the south.

Good wood is very heavy, and the shipping cost is very expensive. "I might as well find some top-quality wood myself and hire a carpenter to do it."

“It’s not hard to find two carpenters with good skills.”

Xu Yang was thinking in his mind.

There are people doing woodcraft here, and there are skilled craftsmen, but due to the popularity of custom-made furniture, craftsmen are gradually becoming obsolete.

If Xu Yang wants fine furniture and wants top-quality wood, he can ask them to make it.

The cost is definitely much cheaper than buying directly.

So, the next day, Xu Yang got in his car and went to the timber market to pick out timber.

The timber market here is very large, and all you see are ancient buildings and a great environment.

“It’s nice here.”

Xu Yang looked at these buildings and exclaimed in admiration.

There are piles of wood in front of many buildings, large and small.

In the open area nearby, there were cranes and large trucks loading goods.

This place is close to the sea and has a freight terminal, which is mainly used to transport timber.

Generally no one comes to such a place.

Xu Yang found someone who knew the business and asked about buying wood.

The best way to buy wood is to go to the dock, and negotiate the price directly for whatever you like.

The timber for the dock is all first-hand, and some of it has not yet been secured.

These timbers were transported from forests further north and were prepared to be shipped south to be sold.

If you can buy it here, the price will be lower.

The wood sold in these buildings is of poorer quality and has many flaws.

Xu Yang wandered around the timber market and then went to the dock to look at the timber.

He heard some lumber merchants chatting.

"Those sourwood branches are too young, not as good as the ones I have, so you can't buy them."

"And the red wood from that store is old enough, but it has a lot of cracks and can't be made into good wood."

"I also saw a family whose wood had worm holes in it."

After hearing the conversation, Xu Yang also understood that there are many details to pay attention to when making wood.

At least the wood on the dock is of mixed quality. Many times, only the outside of the material looks good, but we don’t know what the inside is like.

There are a lot of wood displayed at the dock, and some people are selling them at stalls.

It's a bit like a mountain product market.

Xu Yang felt quite familiar.

Xu Yang talked to a merchant and found out that they would be here for more than a month, and the timing of shipping the wood would depend on when all orders were received.

Xu Yang looked at the vast and somewhat bustling timber market and felt a little at a loss as to where to start.

It turns out that to enter any field, you need professional knowledge.

Otherwise, they would be fat sheep.

Some people recognized Xu Yang, pointed at him and thought he was a wealthy man, hoping to make some money from him.

Although Xu Yang did not have professional knowledge of wood, he had a treasure hunting compass.

The upgraded treasure-hunting compass can also be used in places like this.

The boss and the customer are playing a game of bargaining, and both sides want to take advantage and not suffer any loss.

Xu Yang used the treasure-hunting compass and immediately located a piece of wood.

It’s a little far away, in a factory next to the dock.

Xu Yang drove along the way and saw all kinds of wood laid out everywhere.

Xu Yang arrived at his destination quickly.

There are more timber shops here.

There are many pieces of wood thicker than a person placed next to it, which is a nice decoration.

The treasure-hunting compass located a tree stump, which was very large and uprooted.

The diameter of the tree stump is about 1.23 meters, and a person can sit cross-legged on it.

"A stump?"

"With so much wood, the treasure-hunting compass located it on a tree stump?"

Xu Yang didn't know much about wood, so he was quite surprised.

But he knew the treasure hunting compass would not be wrong.

Buying wood is not like buying antiques. There is no need to be secretive. Just say what you want to buy.

"Boss, how much is this wooden stake?"

"I think this area is quite large, it would be nice to change it into a round tea table."

Xu Yang saw the boss coming and asked.

The boss took a look at the big wooden stake on the ground. It had been dug out for a long time, but no one wanted it.

After all, it’s not easy to renovate it. I can make it into a small table but I don’t know what it can be used for.

According to what Xu Yang said, it is suitable to be transformed into a tea table.

"You can take this away if you give me 2 yuan."

The boss responded immediately.

Some people saw Xu Yang bidding and came over to see what was going on.

There were two bosses who were not very honest. They directly told Xu Yang that they had better wood at home and could make a tea table directly.

After being scolded by the owner of the tree stump shop, he became silent in anger.

But the owner of the tree stump also lowered the price to 1.
A tea table is so expensive and beyond Xu Yang's budget.

But if the treasure hunting compass locates it, then it must be a good thing, definitely worth more than 1 yuan
So Xu Yang hardened his heart and bargained:
"1. I'll buy it if I can sell it."

Hearing Xu Yang's words, the boss showed a somewhat embarrassed expression. The next second, as if afraid that Xu Yang would go back on his word, he immediately said:
"Okay, deal."

Seeing him like this, Xu Yang's heart skipped a beat.

So refreshing?

Broken, expensive.

It can be even cheaper. (End of this chapter)
