The rain came suddenly, and at this moment, Chen Zhou was not interested in the joy of unboxing surprises; he hurriedly tore off the damp corrugated paper and found himself momentarily stunned by the contents.
They were three wooden elongated objects stacked together.
The topmost wooden strip was the longest, the middle one was shorter, and the bottom was the shortest.
They measured roughly 70, 50, and 30 centimeters in length.
All wooden strips had similar shapes, one end square, the other flat and round, with holes drilled into the square end, tied with a small yellow cord.
The craftsmanship reflected modern assembly line characteristics, finely polished, coated with clear varnish on the reddish-brown wood surface, now dotted with beads of water from the rain.
The square end handle was engraved with anti-slip bamboo-like nodes, adding detail to the wooden strip.
Though it made it appear more refined, it couldn't change the inherent cheapness of the item.
