"This is me?"
She looked at the orange wood carving in her hand and did not react for a moment. The wood carving was about 12 centimeters tall, and a short-haired girl was smiling sweetly. It was her appearance, and it looked very exquisite.
Her face suddenly turned red, and her eyes were filled with shyness. She wanted to perfectly imprint her appearance on this wood carving. The owner of the carving must have observed her a lot.
"That's right. This is an apology. I have to thank you this time.”Kenichi Uesugi chuckled.
"But this is too expensive." Kato Megumi wanted to decline the offer immediately. This wood carving was obviously expensive. Not to mention the craftsmanship, the wood alone was worth a lot of money. Moreover, the carving was so lifelike that she recognized herself at first sight. This could be sold for a lot of money.
When she pushed the wooden carving back, she suddenly remembered that the wooden carving was of her appearance. Her hand froze in mid-air, not knowing what to do.
If she wanted it, it would be too expensive. If she didn't want it, this wooden sculpture was her…
"Wow, what's this? Shang Shan, you're actually hiding something like this?”Kobayashi Yoshihara, who had been following behind, immediately shouted when he saw the wooden carving in Kato Megumi's hand.
"Let me see." As he spoke, he reached out his hand to take it, but Kato Megumi dodged him reflexively.
Kobayashi Yoshihara looked at Kato Megumi's vigilant gaze and scratched his head. Then, he looked at Uesugi Kenichi and said,""Did you carve this wood carving yourself?”
"Yes." Kenichi Uesugi nodded.
"F * ck, you're too powerful!”Kobayashi Yoshihara shouted in an exaggerated manner. Although he didn't look very closely, he could recognize that the sculpture was Kato Megumi from afar. It was shocking that such a high school student had carved it.
Watanabe looked at the wooden carving in Kato Megumi's hand with envy. He wanted to take it over and take a look, but he didn't know how to say it.
"Alright, if you want it, I'll find some time to carve one for you.”Kenichi Uesugi said helplessly. Then, he looked at Kato Megumi."Take it. Otherwise, I would have left it on the desk.”
Kato Megumi's face turned even redder. The wooden carving of her was placed on Uesugi Kenichi's desk and he looked at it every day. Just thinking about it made him feel embarrassed.
But what she didn't know was that there was a row of…
"Then I'll accept it. Thank you very much.”Kato Meghan bowed and thanked him.
……
"Shang Shan, you have to keep your word. I want one too.”Kobayashi Yoshihara took out his phone and took out a photo. He placed it in front of Uesugi Kenichi and kept waving it.
Kenichi Uesugi looked at the photo in front of him and rolled his eyes, not knowing what to say. In the photo, Kobayashi Yoshihara was wearing a thick red armor, as if he was playing the role of a general from the Sengoku period. However, his overly thin body made him look like a monkey who was laughing hysterically.
"Are you sure you want this?"
"That's right. Only by doing this can I, Master Xiao Lin, display my domineering appearance and be worthy of your supreme skills. Please!”Kobayashi Yoshihara bowed deeply and said solemnly.
"Alright, alright, alright. As long as you're happy." Uesugi Kenichi was already unable to deal with him. Anyway, he was giving it to him, so he could do whatever he wanted.
"What about you guys?"
"I can do whatever I want." Watanabe replied immediately. He felt a little embarrassed facing his gay friend.
"As for me, I hope you can help me carve another character, can you?”Hideki Sato pushed up his thick glasses. Rather than carving himself, it would be better to carve a wife for him. If he was not afraid of troubling Uesugi Kenichi, it would be best if he had one for each of his dozens of wives.
"I don't think I need it." Ishida Tetsuya was a little embarrassed.
"It's fine. It won't take long.”Kenichi Uesugi smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
"Oh right, don't forget about the Shibuya Comic-con the day after tomorrow. If they're of the same standard as the one just now, your wood carving will definitely sell for a good price.”Hideki Sato suddenly remembered the matter they discussed last time.
"Don't worry, I remember." Of course, Uesugi Kenichi remembered. The main purpose of learning sculpting was to earn money. How could he forget such an important thing?
However, if it was the day after tomorrow, he had to prepare well tonight and tomorrow.
……
"I'm back." Kato Megumi returned home and changed her shoes. She glanced at her mother who was busy in the kitchen and returned to her room.
She turned on the lights and lay on the bed, sighing contentedly. She rolled around on the bed.
Then, she held the wood carving in her hand and carefully examined it.
This feeling was very novel. It was a completely different concept from looking at her own photo. She rubbed the wood carving and felt the texture of the wood carving on her hand. She imagined that Kendo Uesugi would use a carving knife to carve her own face. She couldn't tell how she felt in her heart.
"Time to eat."
Kato Megumi came back to her senses after hearing her mother's voice." I'm here."”She stood up and looked around the room. Then, she placed the wood carving on the desk solemnly and nodded in satisfaction. When she left the door, she suddenly thought of what if the wood carving here was Uesugi Kenichi?
Her face blushed, but her eyes carried a smile that she could not detect as she went downstairs.
But what should he prepare in return?
Should I make a bento for Uesugi-san?
……
"Is there anyone in the house? Please open the door."
"He's here." Kenichi Uesugi threw down the carving knife in his hand and went to open the door.
"The yellow pear wood you wanted has been sent over. Do you need me to help you put it in?”A young man wearing a hat smiled.
"No need, I can do it myself.”Uesugi Ken picked up the wood on the ground and smiled when he found that there was no problem.
"Then I'll take my leave first. Thank you for your patronage. If you need anything else in the future, please let me know.”
"Definitely."
After sending the person off, Kenichi Uesugi brought in the yellow pear wood. He had bought it from a nearby wood shop. The shop owner had been very considerate and provided delivery service. The service attitude was quite good.
The wood he had given to Kato Megumi was bought from this shop. Although the quality was average, the price was not expensive. Even laymen could not tell the quality of the wood.
These pieces of wood cost him 80,000 yen. If he smashed them this time, he would be heartbroken for a long time.
As usual, he practiced Bajiquan. After eating the bento he bought on the way back, he poured himself a cup of tea and arranged the wood beside the table to prepare for the battle.
He thought about it. First, he had to finish the wood carvings that he had promised Kobayashi Yoshihara and the others. Then, he would start carving the popular characters that he had found online.
Time passed very quickly as he focused on carving…
Uesugi Kenichi only put down the carving knife when he felt an unbearable pain in his shoulders and wrists. He looked at the wooden carvings on the table and a trace of satisfaction flashed across his eyes. There were a total of ten of them. His efficiency was amazing. These were all money...
He took out another tool from the toolbox and polished the wood carvings. He only heaved a sigh of relief when he finished polishing the carvings. He stood up and stretched his muscles and bones. There was a tooth-aching crackling sound coming from his joints.
He looked at the time and saw that it was already 11:30. Just as he was about to wash up and go to bed, he suddenly saw a large message prompt on the LINE.
