Lin Yue's heart had already warmed a few degrees towards Zhang Qiusheng, but when Zhang Qiusheng placed the finished carving in front of her, she was still pleasantly surprised. This Zhang Qiusheng's skill was simply too impressive, wasn't it? The work he had carved not only met her specifications entirely, but was even a tad finer and more vibrant than her drawings, bringing an essence of life into the carving. Although Zhao Fuquan had greatly improved and could now replicate what she drew with seventy to eighty percent accuracy, no one else she knew could do any better. Using Zhao Fuquan as a comparison only served to highlight Zhang Qiusheng's exceptional talent.
"Master Zhang truly has unparalleled craftsmanship. Your reputation as the best woodworker in Xin'an City is well-deserved and beyond dispute," Lin Yue said merrily as she looked at the carved work before her, and she was not stingy with her praise.
