Chapter 93: Show Your Hands
Liang Shaoxi was not enthusiastic about Zhang Junping and his group's sudden visit, but he was not so cold that he was turned away.
He brought a few people into the office and had someone make tea.
Liang Shaoxi's office is more like a studio, with a cabinet against the wall, and slowly placed books inside.
As for whether it is used to show off, no one knows.
In front of the cabinet is a large and generous office desk and a European-style sofa chair.
The most conspicuous thing in the office is a workbench placed in the middle.
The workbench is filled with various furniture patterns.
There are also many small wooden strips, which should be wood samples collected by Liang Shaoxi.
When making furniture, you naturally need to study various woods and identifying wood is also one of the basic skills of carpenters.
Then we go there, the reception area is the reception area, a double sofa, a group of single sofas, and a long coffee table.
From the office layout, we can see that Liang Shaoxi is a pragmatic person.
"You are all fellow travelers. I welcome you to visit our furniture factory!
Just..." Liang Shaoxi said in a deep thought.
"Mr. Liang has any requirements, and we will do our best if we can do it!
Our purpose is very simple, we hope to go to the workshop and see how our colleagues in Xiangjiang produce furniture!" Zhang Junping said hurriedly.
After all, it is a request for others. Zhang Junping is more modest in his attitude as he learns.
"Since last year I went back to my hometown to run this furniture factory and came to visit and study, the abortion of people inspected has never stopped!
If I receive everyone when I come, then my factory doesn’t have to do production!
After a year, the money I earned was not enough for the hospitality fee!" Liang Shaoxi did not rush to ask, but explained the cause and effect first, "So, I set a rule!
Not to mention the official person, if you want to visit and inspect, you have to show your true skills!
In fact, it’s simple. We are carpenters and furniture makers. You can show off your skills as a carpenter. As long as we can satisfy our masters in the factory, we will pass the test!
I will naturally be able to treat you with good cigarettes, wine, and food!
Whether it is a visit, an inspection, or other things, I try to satisfy what I can do!”
"This is simple, I wonder what Mr. Liang wants to see?
We are made in traditional furniture. You can click on the tricks of traditional furniture at will! What you want to see, what we show!" Zhang Junping said with a confident smile.
"You can do whatever you want, just be as you want! I also want to communicate more with my colleagues in the North!" Liang Shaoxi said generously.
The more this happens, the less Zhang Junping dares to neglect.
It doesn’t matter whether you can visit the production workshop of the furniture factory. What’s important is that you can’t be embarrassed in front of Liang Shaoxi, a fake Xiangjiang compatriot.
"Wood carving is one of the basic skills of carpenters! In traditional furniture, whether it is Guangxi furniture, Beijing furniture, or Suzhou furniture, they attach great importance to carving!
I saw that there were many wood samples on Mr. Liang’s workbench. I took one and showed Mr. Liang how to show the wood carvings?" Zhang Junping stood up and said with a smile.
"The handsome guy also knows wood carvings?" Liang Shaoxi looked at Zhang Junping unexpectedly.
He never expected that Zhang Junping would personally showcase the carpenter skills, and it was wood carving, the most kung fu carving technique.
Wood carving is very simple to get started. You can get started in three months and you can get started in three years. However, if you want to be proficient, you can't do it without more than ten years of hardship.
Some people study for a lifetime and immerse themselves in a lifetime is just a carving worker and cannot become a master of wood carving.
"I understand a little bit! Among these people, I am the youngest and have the worst skills.
So my stupid bird flew first, show it first. I can't get into Mr. Liang's eyes. Then I'll let my senior brother and others take action, it's not too late to let my father take action!" Zhang Junping played with a wooden carved knife in his hand, grinning and smiling.
"Please give me a favor!" Liang Shaoxi didn't say much, waved his hand and signaled that Zhang Junping could choose the wood by himself.
Zhang Junping was not polite, so he picked up a piece of wood casually, "A gentleman in the wood, small-leaf boxwood, just use this!"
Seeing that Zhang Junping easily recognized the boxwood, he also accurately stated that it was a small-leaf boxwood.
Only then did Liang Shaoxi start to pay attention to Zhang Junping, and this vision alone is not simple.
I have said before that, when you know wood, you can also be a carpenter, and many carpenters may not be able to recognize all the wood after learning it for more than ten years.
Not to mention, identifying wood is not only about identifying the type of wood and saying the name, but also about being able to clearly know the purpose of wood.
For example, boxwood is more suitable for making wood carvings, among which boxwood is of the best quality.
The small-leaf boxwood grows slowly, and it is difficult to see the eyes of the boxwood with the naked eye alone. The surface is smooth and smooth, and the color is yellow and gentle. It is a top-notch material for carving technology. In the 1970s and 1980s, many official seals were made of small-leaf boxwood.
Another advantage of making boxwood wood carvings is that as time goes by, the color will become darker and darker, giving people a sense of historical thickness and a round and fullness that has experienced vicissitudes.
Instead of carving the whole wood sample, Zhang Junping took a carving knife and cut one knife on the long wood sample in front and back, and took off a piece of wood square the size of a matchbox from above.
Liang Shaoxi didn't say anything, but just focused on Zhang Junping's actions.
Cut off a piece of wood that is one centimeter thick with just two knifes. It seems simple, but it is actually not easy. At least, Liang Shaoxi believes that he does not have the wrist and finger strength.
Holding the wooden blocks the size of a matchbox, Zhang Junping looked at them for a moment and then began to use the knife.
For a moment, the office was quiet, and only the carved knife in Zhang Junping's hand made a rustling sound through the wood.
Zhang Junping's movements were very fast, with the light of the knife flashing, the wood chips flying, and the small wooden blocks changed shapes in Zhang Junping's hands.
Time passed by minute by minute, about half an hour, Zhang Junping stopped his movements, held the wooden block that had already turned into a strange shape for a while, and started moving again.
Compared with the chorus that started just now, Zhang Junping's carved knife still slashed quickly on the wooden block this time, but the movements were much gentler.
More than ten minutes later, Zhang Junping stopped the carved knife in his hand again and handed the wooden block to Liang Shaoxi, "Mr. Liang, please see if you have any magical eyes that can be seen?"
“This…this…this…this, amazing!
Mr. Wang’s surname?” Experts knew if there was any one at the right time. Liang Shaoxi looked at the wood carving that Zhang Junping had just made, and his face changed suddenly and asked solemnly.
"My surname is Zhang!"
“Mr. Zhang is so young and promising!
The wood carving skills have already come into the hall, and with this scratching and grinding technique, Liang is also ashamed of himself!" Liang Shaoxi sighed while playing with the wood carving pieces.
What Zhang Junping just showed was not only wood carving skills, but also scratching and grinding skills.
Carpenter masters do not need to use sandpaper to polish furniture. Just a knife is needed to achieve the sandpaper polishing effect.
