NovelBookChapter 257 “| think it has a unique scent,” Lily said without beating around the bush. “Your shop has a scent that's a mixture of many things, so I'm guessing that you used different woods for your carvings, am | right?” At first, it puzzled the owner, but le finally understood what Lily meant. “Oh my! | see you're an expert. We use the best wood in our shop, and | assure you that you'll find what you want here. Ma'am, what type of wood would you like your carvings to be made from? You can also place an order if none of the goods lere piqued your interest. Price-wise...” “You take private orders for customization here, too?” Lily asked with interest.

The customized items would cost more, but it's worth the price. The most important thing is you get what you want, making you happy.” Lily could save a lot of tthanks to the owners enthusiasm for promoting his products.” You're right. Are there many customers who make private orders, though?” “Not exactly. There would be a few from tto time, though there arent many who could afford...” He stopped talking abruptly, found the situation strange, and looked at Lily warily.” Young lady, why are you asking so much? Do you want to buy what we have here or place a private order? If you're going to make a private order, write your requirements. You'll also need to pay a deposit for us to process the order.” “About that...” Smiling, Lily glanced around the shop. Seeing that attitude, the owner felt he had wasted his ton her and instantly becupset. “Young lady, look around if you're not planning to buy anything.” He turned to leave, but Lily pointed to a pair of carvings on the shelves. “I'll get that.” It was the wooden carvings of two children.
The little boy had a round face and a bright smile, while the little girl had two ponytails and held a lollipop in her hand. The craftsmanship was not exceptional, but their expressions were lively. This was the item that she liked the most in this shop.
“Sure thing!” The owner smiled again and reached out for the carved item carefully.
Then he turned to look at the young man. “Why are you still sitting there? Get a box to pack this up for our customer here!” Slowly, the young man stood up to take a box and a paper bag to pack the item up for her.

A sudden thought popped into her head, so she asked randomly. “Sure, we'll get it ready in time. What kind of wood would you like to use? What would you like to carve and what's the approximate measurement for it? Do you have any other requirements?” Lily looked around and pointed to the unfinished product in the young man’s hands. “About that size. I'll let you know the other details in a few days. How's that?” “That's not a problem!” The owner nodded fervently. “The deposit...” “I can pay that now, but | have a request.” “What is it? Just letknow.” “I want him to be the craftsman of my product!” Lily said thoughtfully as she pointed to the young man.
Her words made the young man shoot his head up to look at her in confusion. He thought he had misleard her.
The owner was surprised as well. “Him? He's still learning about craftsmanship. We have professional craftsmen to handle our private orders.” “It's fine.” Lily interrupted the owner. She walked over and then bent down to look at the unfinished product. “I think he’s doing great, and | want him to do it for me.” “I can't do it.” The young man rejected.
“I think you'll do just fine. I'll find someone else to do it if you're not going to.” Lily took the paper bag and prepared to leave.
