As he spoke, he took out a carving knife and a small piece of wood from his box.
Yun Yi, filled with curiosity, asked, "How long will it take?"
Zhao Feng scratched his head and estimated, "I think it will take about a quarter of an hour." A quarter roughly equates to fifteen minutes.
Such speed was indeed surprising. It is known that wood carving is not a task that can be completed in a day; it requires patience and meticulous craftsmanship. Yet Zhao Feng was able to finish in just fifteen minutes, demonstrating quite an impressive efficiency.
"Alright, go ahead and start. I'll wait here," Yun Yi said.
Zhao Feng nodded in agreement and immediately focused intently on his work. His skill was remarkably proficient; the carving knife seemed to have a life of its own in his hands.
After just a few swift cuts, the outline of a figure began to emerge. Although the specific features were not yet clear, as Zhao Feng continued to carve, the shape of the figure became increasingly distinct. By the midway point, Yun Yi could already see the general likeness taking form.
Observing his work, Yun Yi was filled with admiration: "Zhao Feng's craftsmanship is like a butterfly dancing gracefully. Even in the modern carving world, he would be considered a master at his level." Moreover, he was still quite young, only around fifteen years old.
At this age, one would only be at a beginner level in any professional carving study. It is evident that Zhao Feng possesses extraordinary talent in the Mo Family's craft. In fact, throughout the five thousand years of Chinese history, there have been many remarkable individuals and countless gifted people. However, as the saying goes: "In all matters, the humble are lowly, while only those who study are noble." This ideology has led to many practical artisans not receiving the recognition they deserve.
These unique individuals should not be overlooked amidst the masses. Especially for Zhao Feng, Yun Yi felt it necessary to invest all efforts into his cultivation. With Zhao Feng's outstanding talent combined with Yun Yi's understanding and application of tools, they might significantly enhance contemporary productivity.
Take water grinding technology as an example; despite the impressive continuous flow of water, there are still many limitations. If one were to rely solely on manual labor to transport materials slowly, it would take an indefinite amount of time to complete large-scale projects. In contrast, if water grinding is employed, only a small number of workers would need to maintain the flow, allowing for a steady supply of water through channels. This level of efficiency is something that even dozens or hundreds of manual laborers would struggle to achieve.
While Yun Yi was deep in thought, Zhao Feng finished his wood carving piece and then took out two bottles of paint from his toolbox—one gold and one silver. Just as he was about to start painting, Yun Yi quickly stopped him: "Hold on, don’t rush into coloring; hand me the wood carving first." Despite Zhao Feng's confusion, he respectfully handed over the exquisite artwork.
