The reason why Zhao Chenxing values these fly ash so much is because he is a craftsman.
He has the sensitivity of a craftsman, for wood, and for wood.
Even for wood ash.
Zhao Chenxing could tell from the scene of the fire that the wood had not burned completely when the fire occurred due to the strict orderliness of the hall and poor ventilation.
So a very thick charcoal ash is formed here.
In the eyes of outsiders, these black charcoal ash is so useless that it cannot be considered waste.
For ordinary people, the first thing to do when renovating a house is to clean it out and throw it into the trash.
But Zhao Chenxing understood that these gray carbons were fly ash from precious woods such as red sandalwood and agarwood.
In the past, this was something that only princes and nobles could get if their homes were on fire.
In modern times, that is something that no one would dare to burn, let alone produce ashes and carbon.
Therefore, in Zhao Chenxing's eyes, these ashes are treasures that cannot be found with a lantern.
It is no exaggeration to say that these woods are gray carbon, which is a rarer material than the wood itself.
I'm afraid it's hard to find these high-quality ashes in the whole world.
What Zhao Chenxing wants to do is to use these extremely rare wood ash to make a "treasure" to solve the current financial crisis.
Of course, even if he had a good idea, Zhao Chenxing had to collect the fly ash first.
He knew that the ashes had been left to cool for more than a month, and as time went by, the "useful ingredients" in them were becoming less and less.
Under this situation, Zhao Chenxing felt that time was pressing.
Therefore, after he asked Boss Guang to purchase raw materials, he didn't even care about the mess of his clothes.
He squatted on the ground and separated the black dust and floating matter little by little.
Finally, he tried his best to seal the best black parts of the carbon materials in plastic bags for later use.
Occasionally, he would pick up large pieces of charcoal with his hands and put them aside.
Zhao Chenxing's process of sweeping away dust was slow and arduous.
During this period, he squatted for a long time, and inevitably his head was covered with black water and fog, and his face was gray and gray.
Even the palm of his hand was cut bloody by sharp charcoal fragments, but he didn't bother to deal with it.
He works so hard because he knows that these black charcoal are not waste, but "black gold."
It is the black gold that determines his future survival.
Zhao Chenxing acted very quickly.
About three hours later, he cleaned out seven or eight bags of useful carbon dust from the pile of fly ash in the ruined palace, and also found two agarwood sticks that had not been completely burned and could be used whole.
As Zhao Chenxing's cleanup progressed further, he made new and even more shocking discoveries.
Just as Zhao Chenxing dug out the seemingly thick pile of dust in the corner with his hands and dustpan, he suddenly discovered that there was a wooden stick hidden under the pile of black dust.
Although this wooden stick was buried in black ash, there were no traces of excessive fire.
It was very different from the burnt charcoal wood that Zhao Chenxing had seen before.
The wooden stick under the black ash is red in color, approximately in the shape of a "T", as long as someone's thigh, and just thick enough to hold in one hand.
This wooden stick is completely smooth and is obviously made by hand.
The head of his "T"-shaped stick is about the length of a human hand, slightly concave and unadorned, just enough to accommodate a person's palm.
All in all, this is a very useful crutch.
Although it is simple in workmanship and has little decoration, it is neither heavy nor light, neither big nor small.
It is very consistent with "human body mechanics" and is a masterpiece.
This was enough for Zhao Chenxing to understand that the person who made the staff was definitely a craftsman with considerable wood skills.
The kind who have rich experience and are good at using materials.
However, compared to the skill of the cane maker, what surprised Zhao Chenxing the most was not the workmanship of the cane itself, but why the cane existed alone here.
You know, a month ago, there was a "furnace fire" here.
The temperature at which many kinds of precious wood in this antique shop are burned is at least three to four hundred degrees Celsius.
In such a temperature, even glass and jade will melt and break, but why is this wooden crutch safe and sound?
With a hint of doubt about the craftsmanship of this thing, Zhao Chenxing picked up the newly discovered cane and looked at it carefully and again at the sunlight coming in from the leaky tiles on the ceiling.

After a while, he made another shocking discovery It turns out that the "processing skills" of this staff are far from as simple as Zhao Chenxing imagined.
Morning Star used the sunlight to see clearly that the body of the cane was not made of wood, but was carefully wrapped with an unknown thin fiber.
The wrapped fibers are extremely delicate and have regular lines.
They are arranged like golden fish scales in the sunlight, carefully protecting the core of the staff.
In addition to the layer of finely arranged and intricately crafted mesh fibers, there is also a translucent, amber-colored coating on this crutch.
The coating was neither thick nor thin, and felt cold to the touch.
Although Zhao Chenxing didn't know what material it was made of, he instantly understood that the coating should be insulating.
The secret of this wooden stick being hot but not burning is probably related to this coating.
What's even more interesting is that in the middle of the handle of the heat-insulating coating, there is a line of small ink characters embedded under the coating.
"The old mountain ghost accumulates bamboo, the lonely old man sticks"
The word "Ji Zhu" in that note instantly enlightened Zhao Chenxing.
Staring at the word, he blurted out: "Ji Zhu Mu Zha" The bamboo stick is exactly how this walking stick is made.
Zhao Chenxing knows this method well and knows how to use it.
So looking at the handwriting, Zhao Chenxing probably understood the method of making this cane.
According to legend, the manufacturing process of this kind of bamboo and wooden lattice is the first "composite material" manufacturing process in the world.
It is the "secret technique" used by generals and emperors to make magical weapons thousands of years ago.
It is also the "secret technique" of Zhao Jialu Ban Common methods such as "organism".
The steps to make a bamboo teapot are complicated.
The trick is to use the best hardwood as the core, and then wrap the core wood with two layers of green bamboo "篾青" mesh as thin as cicada paper.
Then the bamboo and wood mixture is wrapped and bound with soft fibers such as zong hemp and horsetail using the "sea scale method".
After the main body is completed, the stick wood needs to be coated with tung oil, gray oil and the like, soaked and painted repeatedly, and then shaped.
This cane-making process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it takes at least half a year to complete.
But once it is made, it will definitely be the best wooden staff in the world.
Not one.
Because of the use of composite materials, the material of this bamboo wooden stand has unique benefits.
It has the hardness of hardwood and the toughness of bamboo.
It is made durable by tung oil and light by rice dumplings.
With a good bamboo stick, even if you use a sharp machete to cut it hard, the wooden stick will only bounce back a few times before returning to its original form.
But a rigid knife will definitely break and chip.
Because there are so many benefits to the bamboo teapot, Zhao Chenxing’s family knows how to use it and loves to use it.
In fact, many agricultural tools in his hometown were made using this method, and they have not suffered any serious damage after being used for decades.
But even so, Zhao Chenxing was still very shocked when he saw this work.
Because the craftsmanship of this cane is much more sophisticated than the things I used to make using the "Ji Zhu method", and the materials are even better and astonishingly good.
Not to mention anything else, the "ability" of a wooden stick to resist burning when exposed to fire was something that Zhao Chenxing couldn't figure out.
He knew that in addition to the bamboo and wood technology of this cane, some more rare techniques or materials must have been added to it to make it perform so amazingly.
Most importantly, who made this?
So who is the "lonely old man" mentioned above, and what is the old mountain ghost:
