Chapter 0178: Cheapskate

Looking at so many jade carving tools, Chu Nan finally bought some tools for carving small jade, and even didn't plan to buy the larger cutting machine.

Of course, if he goes to Ruili's new house again and needs to deal with the matte stones in the basement, he will definitely have to buy a cutting machine.

Chu Nan bought all the simple gadgets such as electric drills, electric drills, grinding wheels, and carving knives.

However, these prices are not low, and they have to be worth several thousand yuan. When I finally left, because there were many tools, the boss asked someone to send them to Chu Nan's home.

Chu Nan took a casual car back and took the small items to his room. After looking at the time, he found that it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon.

However, Liu Wei has not come back yet, and it is still early.

Chu Nan came to the storage room and found a piece of bean-type jade that was three-thumb-sized with a protruding side.

The jade was cut out from the wool stone and cut into this small part.

Chu Nan saw the appearance of this jade, which was small at the top and large at the bottom, and the proportion was similar to a triangle. So after looking at it for a while, he quickly realized that if this jade was used to carve a small jade Buddha, it would be very good.

With this plan, Chu Nan immediately took action.

The first step was that Chu Nan first used the grinding wheel to grind the jade stone into the rough appearance of the jade Buddha. Because Chu Nan used the grinding wheel for the first time, he found that after plugging in the power, he rotated very quickly, and even saw that he looked like that.

Knowing it's very sharp.

However, in fact, this grinding wheel is a tool that "eat soft but not hard". Even if your fingers touch it, you will not be injured.

However, for the sake of caution, Chu Nan still didn't easily let his fingers touch it, and roughly ground the outline of the jade into the outline of a jade Buddha.

Soon, we can move on to the second step.

The second step is to draw the outline.

This is different from the first step just now, because the first step is to carve the jade artifact you want based on the rough appearance of the piece of jade.

However, if it is different, if you want to carve it into other jade, or more complex jade, what should you do if you don’t have that outline?

The first step is even more complicated. In that case, it is easy to break the jade, because it may be destroyed once, and the value of the jade will decrease.

It was Chu Nan's first time to carve. He definitely didn't dare to do other complicated and difficult carvings, nor would he do it. Without the guidance of other mentors, he could only take it out step by step.

It's like crossing a river with a touch of stones. Chu Nan can only read the books and combine them with the carving tools in front of him.

Speaking of the second step of drawing the outline, Chu Nan was also very serious.

In addition, Chu Nan did not have a fine art background, but when he thought that this piece of jade could be carved into a small jade Buddha, the jade stone was already in Chu Nan's mind.

Soon, draw the place to be carved.

Chu Nan drew different places, and then borrowed other tools to slowly carve them.

Fortunately, the difference between him and ordinary people is that even in the smallest places, other carving masters, especially those with older carving masters, not only have to borrow reading glasses, but also magnifying glasses to carve them seriously.

.

...

When Chu Nan stayed in the room to carve the jade Buddha, he didn't know that time had passed quietly. By the time he looked up at the window, it was already dark.

"So soon to be black?"

Chu Nan found that there was nothing else except for his neck and waist, which was a little tired and painful.

After turning the lights in the room, Chu Nan put down the almost finished jade Buddha. When he left the living room outside, he had already seen Liu Wei.

"Liu Wei, when are you back?"

"I'm back at five o'clock. When I saw you carving in the room, I came out."

When Liu Wei came back just now, she naturally heard the sound from Chu Nan's room. At first, she thought why, but she didn't expect that she saw Chu Nan carving the jade very seriously, even she stood at the door for a long time.

No discovery.

If a person is dedicated to this level, it is easy for people to think of a lunatic.

People who do things like crazy are like people who forget the rest of the world. Such people are also easy to succeed in that career.

However, Liu Wei found it very strange. It would be fine if Chu Nan bets on stones in Ruili, but after returning to Jinling, he actually carved jade himself. I really don’t know what he thought?

"Is my sister-in-law back?"

"She went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables."

After accompanying her sister-in-law and her daughters for dinner, Chu Nan continued to enter the room to carve the mills.

...

In the following time, Chu Nan and Li Xiaopang went to the suburbs with Li Xiaopang in the morning to learn driving. In the afternoon, they returned home to learn carving alone and carved jade by themselves.

Time passed day by day, and the scorching summer in July passed quickly, and it was soon to reach the middle of the eighth month. In less than half a month, the summer vacation was about to end, and Chu Nan was about to enter his freshman year.

During these times, Chu Nan and Li Xiaopang were in that driving school for exactly one month. When the driving school organized students to take the exam, Chu Nan and Li Xiaopang passed the exam at one time.

However, Chu Nan knew that Li Xiaopang worked much harder than him in liberal arts. But before college, Xiaopang drove a luxury car. Every time Li Xiaopang went home, he memorized those liberal arts questions by rote, and memorized them more than the college entrance examination.

If you still have to work hard on liberal arts questions, it will definitely be a one-time pass.

The two of them passed the exam and can get their driver's license from the vehicle management office.

However, Chu Nan was not in a hurry for those things.

While Li Xiaopang was waiting for his driver's license, Chu Nan spent more time on carving.

During the second week when he personally carved it, Chu Nan spent fifteen days. The first work he carefully carved was called the Jade Buddha of Chu, which officially appeared in front of him.

Although this smiling Jade Buddha with a big belly is not as valuable as the Jade Buddhas in the market, it gives me a good feeling.

He also knew very well that it was already very good for a person who only relied on touching his own stones to cross the river to hone his carving.

After Chu Nan was cleaning it with warm water, he carved six small Chinese characters under the jade Buddha.

"Namo Amitabha."

At this time, Chu Nan knew that it was OK.

When Chu Nan looked carefully, he suddenly saw Liu Wei pushing open the door and walking in and saying.

"Chu Nan, give me this Jade Buddha!"

"No, this is the first work I carved, so I can't give it to you."

When Liu Wei heard Chu Nan's words, she was stunned and embarrassed and said with her lip biting.

"Hmph, stingy, forget it if you don't give it to me, who cares about you!"
