The third thousand five hundred and ninety-seventh chapter tiger father has no dog son
While talking, the grandfather and grandson finally arrived at the door of the store.
Yu Fei and the other three didn't move a step in the store, they just sat together and talked about the carved artworks on the shelves.
Even if they are laymen, the three of them admire the old man's skills very much. The texture, cracks and color difference on each piece of jade can be used to give people a sense of ingenuity.
The three of them just admired each other and communicated in low voices. After the old man and his granddaughter came back, the three of them stopped immediately.
The old man was obviously old, but his body was still strong, and he strode into the store.
Yu Fei also stood up with a smile. He had thought before that it would take decades to practice such a unique skill. He was definitely not a young man!
"Hello! Master!"
Yu Fei didn't know how to call him, so he just used the honorific title given to his seniors in various industries.
"Hello, can I take a look at the jade first?"
The old man nodded and asked very directly.
"no problem!"
Yu Fei knew that the main reason why everyone met and even cooperated was because of this piece of jade. It was always right to let the other party take a look first.
Yu Fei opened the box again, and the old man went up to it with a magnifying glass and stared at the top-quality jade stone again and again. It was obvious that he was very satisfied and couldn't put it down.
Yu Fei also waited patiently aside. The old man seemed to have lost his mind recently. He gently held up the top-quality jade stone with both hands and began to inspect it without missing any blind spots.
"Yes, this is the color I have been dreaming about, the first touch of green in spring, the color of life! It's so beautiful. Sure enough, the most beautiful colors are all naturally formed!"
After looking at it for a long time, the old man finally spoke and carefully put the top-quality jade stone back into the box. His movements were very light, as if he was afraid of breaking it.
As for the other jade stones in the box, even if they were all top-grade jade stones, the old man didn't even bother to look at them. Others thought he regarded the jade stones as treasures. In fact, he understood them best and he just liked to look at them under such crystal clear stones.
Just doing creations on stones.
"Young man, what do you mean by bringing so much jade here?"
The old man was finally willing to move his eyes away, looked at Yu Fei and asked Yu Fei.
Yu Fei suddenly brought over a box of jade. He obviously had ulterior motives, and of course the old man had to ask clearly.
"These are my own things. I planned to find someone to make them into jewelry for relatives and friends to use, so I brought them over together."
Yu Fei smiled and explained without saying who he wanted to do this. He was obviously waiting for the old man to speak.
"Then stay with me. I will make this top-quality jade stone, and let her practice the rest!"
The old man agreed quite readily, knowing that Yu Fei was not clear about the scope of his business here.
After all, they are open for business, and it is impossible to always have top-quality jade that can be used for carving, so they usually also accept other materials, which is mainly made by girls, with the old man guiding them.
Ding Taotao and her mother, after hearing the old man's frivolous words, glanced at the innocent-looking girl and felt that the old man was a bit hasty.
That girl looks like she doesn't understand anything. Can she do it?
But Yu Fei didn't say anything. If the old man said it was okay, then it must be okay. At his age, he shouldn't be joking with others casually. He wouldn't say that if he wasn't sure.
It can also be seen that this old man is full of arrogance, and only the best jade is worthy of his own production.
"I heard that you want to observe my production process?"
The old man asked Yu Fei again
.
"Although I am an outsider, I still feel that your works are majestic and full of vivid aura, as if they are given life to the works, so I want to see your production process."
Yu Fei quickly explained why he wanted to observe.
"It doesn't matter, it's just that you have thought about what you plan to make of this top-quality jade stone?"
The old man nodded calmly. He did not feel proud of Yu Fei's praise. Perhaps he had been used to it for a long time. Instead, he asked about Yu Fei's request.
After all, the owner of the best jade is Yu Fei. Even though he is a master, he must follow the customer's requirements as much as possible. The customer will give a general direction and he will do the rest.
"I don't have any special requirements. I just want to make a piece of jewelry for my girlfriend. Just feel free to do whatever you want!"
Yu Fei shook his head. He really didn't have any requirements. The jade jewelry he knew were only bracelets, rings and other common items. If someone made this, they would probably not be happy.
When the old man heard what Yu Fei said, his eyes suddenly became filled with surprise and admiration for Yu Fei. A piece of top-quality jade was allowed to be used freely without any requirement. No one would dare to believe it if he told it.
When Ding Taotao heard Yu Fei's words, she immediately felt surrounded by happiness, and her pretty face turned red all the way to her neck.
The girl behind the old man glanced at Ding Taotao secretly, her eyes full of envy. Last time Yu Fei came, he also brought Ding Taotao with him, so the girl could naturally guess Ding Taotao's identity.
"I have a general idea. If your girlfriend can be there, I can change it according to the wearer's height, appearance and temperament to make it more perfect."
The old man didn't notice that much and asked Yu Fei directly.
Most of the jade stones are made into jewelry, so the stories in them are often closely related to love and love.
The old man has long been used to it, so he is relatively calm.
"Of course, Taotao!"
Yu Fei nodded without hesitation, turned around and pulled Ding Taotao over who was sitting there.
Ding Taotao was dressed very ordinary, with jeans on the bottom and a T-shirt on the top.
But even with this most ordinary dress, her temperament has not been buried. On the contrary, this simple dress also has high requirements for her figure. The lack of scheming in her dress shows that her figure is real.
Ding Taotao stood there a little embarrassed, but the old man had already started to look Ding Taotao up and down. The old man's eyes were like a ruler, and there was no inappropriate look. He was just memorizing the key data on Ding Taotao, which would be related to what he would do next.
Work related.
When the old man's granddaughter saw this scene, she suddenly felt sour and uncomfortable. She was fed a lot of dog food early in the morning, and her life was getting harder and harder!
"This girl has a good foundation, it's ready!"
The old man finally stepped forward, reached out and touched Ding Taotao's skull. He completed the preparations and praised Ding Taotao. He didn't know whether he said that her skull was good or that she had a good figure.
Then the old man took Yu Fei into his workshop, and of course he brought Yu Fei's piece of top-quality jade with him.
The old man's workshop is neither big nor fancy, it just looks like a working place for an old craftsman.
"I already have an idea. This piece of jade is the pure first touch of green in spring, so we can't waste this color. I plan to carve it into a grass ring, just like the willow tree that has just sprouted in early spring.
Break off some branches and weave a grass ring, which is only pure green."
After the old man sat down, he took the jade and continued to ponder it a lot, while saying to Yu Fei.
"But I'm afraid the size of this piece of jade is not enough, right?"
Yu Fei looked at the size of the top-grade jade, his own
Xi himself knew it well. Originally, this thing was not as big as a human head. How could it be made bigger during carving so that it could be worn on the head?
"We can use the splicing method to make full use of this piece of jade as much as possible, divide a circle into three equal parts to make it, and assemble it when wearing it."
The old man is not that stubborn person and actually thought of such a method.
"Is it still possible to do this? Is it strong? Will it fall to the ground and break?"
Yu Fei always felt that splicing jade was only something that I heard scammers would do, but no serious person would do it!
"There are many things left by our ancestors. You don't need to worry about this. I will start next."
The old man felt that after talking to Yu Fei up to this point, he had no idea of continuing the conversation. He was afraid that Yu Fei would ask him later if he should use three-second glue or two brothers!
Yu Fei nodded, intending to see the old man's technique, but the old man held the jade in both hands, as if it had turned into a sculpture. Yu Fei waited for more than ten minutes, and the old man's hand moved slightly, slightly adjusting the direction of the jade.
For a moment, he stopped moving again.
Yu Fei is a very patient person. After waiting for nearly half an hour, he saw the old man turning the jade in his hand again, then stopped and stared at the jade, as if he himself had become a sculpture.
Although Yu Fei couldn't completely know what the old man was doing, he had his own guess. He felt that the old man was analyzing every grain on the jade, the changes in color shades, etc.
If you are familiar with all of these, you can basically imagine the finished product you want to make in your brain.
This requires a person to have extremely strong memory ability and spatial thinking ability, but for the old man, it seems that he has been used to it for a long time. He started as soon as he started and he was immersed in it immediately.
At this moment, Ding Taotao and her mother were outside, trying hard to calm down and wait for Yu Fei. They also knew that if Yu Fei wanted to learn something or watch something, it would definitely take time.
The girl had already collected all the remaining jade stones, and took a note of the special requirements for the items made from these jade stones. Finally, she found out that Ding Taotao's father wanted a seal, and the rest seemed to be made into jewelry.
Already.
The girl began to prepare absentmindedly. He knew that Yu Fei wanted to see something, but he would not be able to think of it for a while. Not many people could resist just staring at the jade in front of him.
In the end, before Yu Fei came out, the girls outside had already started moving. The only specific request was for Ding Taotao's father's seal, so she prepared to make a seal for him.
I chose a piece of dark green material, cut it roughly first, and shaped it into a rough shape. Then I picked up the carving knife and started carving the details.
Ding Taotao and her daughter were bored to begin with, so when they saw the girl moving, they joined in to watch the fun. They were very sensible and did not make random noises to disturb others.
The girl looked young and carefree, but when she really started to use her hands, she obviously had some skills. With the carving knife in her hand, the jade was carved easily like tofu.
Soon the rough outline came out. A rectangular body was wrapped around a giant dragon. The dragon's head was placed at the top, which was also the position of the gripper. It was easy to use and the more it was used, the brighter it became.
The other end was naturally the place for engraving, and the girl planned to save it until the end because her handwriting was too beautiful and not suitable for engraving on a man.
After the rough outline is carved out, the girl begins to fill in the details. This is the time to test the basic skills. If the hand shakes, all the previous efforts may be wasted.
Chapter completed!
