All the sweet potato seedlings in the field have been planted!

When autumn comes, it's harvest time!

The cow carved in the village, the old village chief came to see it and praised it, praised it vigorously, and waited to take it to participate in the activities in the city, and the scenery was good!

As for Xu Fugui, he came to Xia Jie's courtyard every day for the past two days.

Since you want to learn to make porcelain, you have to endure hardships first.

So Xia Jie asked him to start learning from dredging, crushing mud, and washing mud.

Of course, after Xu Fugui gets started, you can consider buying mud bricks directly, which is more convenient.

After all, not everyone is like themselves, and they have inexhaustible strength.

And with the memory of inheritance, Xia Jie knows that if he wants to make those exquisite porcelain, it is more reliable to participate in the whole process by himself.

Otherwise, even if there is a lapse in one link, it will lead to a failure in the end.

After eating, sending off Xu Fugui, who had been busy all day, Xia Jie took the package sent by Shunfeng Express and returned to the house.

The drone hovered quietly in mid-air, and the live broadcast room was turned on.

"Hello everyone, the ordered carving knife has arrived, so you can start carving bamboo carvings tonight!"

Crash!

Xia Jie said as he tore open the box directly, and inside was a brand new set of carving knives.

"This apprentice is gone, and the master has a new flower?"

"Tsk, the craftsman is really versatile, not only can he carve roots, he can make porcelain, and now he has begun to engage in bamboo carving, you can!"

"This bamboo carving and root carving are all interconnected, right?

"It's not the same, one big and one small, and the skills are all different!"

"That's right, sand painting and ink painting are both paintings, do they look the same?"

Taking the carving knife out of the box, Xia Jie explained one by one: "There are five in total, you see, they are flat knives, round knives, shallow round knives, triangular knives and warped knives. ”

"These are relatively basic, if you are interested in learning ****, you can also buy a set. ”

"Usually used to make bamboo carving, we have to choose the kind of bamboo or Nanzhu that has grown for three to four years, too old or too tender bamboo, the texture structure is not so fine, and at the same time, it is easier to burst when dry, which is not suitable for long-term storage. ”

"I had already cut some bamboo a few days ago to see if it was yellow, and if it didn't, I had to treat it before I could use it. ”

Saying that, Xia Jie came to the yard, and when he was about to take the bamboo, he suddenly saw a majestic sword mantis on the flower pot next to him.

It's the familiar praying mantis!

At the same time, he was also a prophet in the eyes of the ancient Greeks.

Xia Jie's arrival did not frighten the praying mantis, because it was staring closely at a small grasshopper opposite.

I saw the praying mantis spread its wings and flutter to the sides, and its hind wings stood upright, like a small sailboat.

With the fluttering of its wings, it also makes a hissing sound, like a poisonous snake spitting apricots.

The turquoise body stood erect, its knives tightened, and it stood motionless, its big eyes fixed on the grasshopper.

The little grasshopper moved slightly, and the praying mantis's fan-like head also turned.

In this way, the little grasshopper seemed to be frightened, and slowly lay down on the leaves, not daring to move again.

Slowly moving its four legs, the praying mantis approached the little grasshopper little by little, and then pounced on it.

The two knives came out together, and directly took down the little grasshopper, which became a delicious meal in its mouth

"I'll go, there is still this kind of manipulation, I know how to be coercive, this praying mantis is amazing!"

Seeing this, Xia Jie couldn't help but exclaim.

Although I often caught praying mantis to play when I was a child, it was the first time I saw the whole process of mantis knowing how to intimidate and prey like today.

Sure enough, he is a high-level killer in the insect world, and he abuses creatures of the same level.

Xia Jie couldn't help but secretly admire.

Wait, a flash of light flashed through his mind.

The ancient method of carving using shades of depth will carve these small insects on bamboo pieces, but there is only a form.

You can do a fine processing and directly use bamboo to carve exactly the same insects.

It's like when my grandfather used palm leaves to weave grasshoppers for himself when I was a child, and I can carve exactly one insect out of bamboo.

Thinking of this, Xia Jie suddenly felt quite interesting.

Okay, that's it!

So he immediately went back to the house, took a pen and paper, and drew a pen on the praying mantis, which was enjoying a good meal.

After all, there is a heritage of root carving and porcelain, which is indispensable for painting skills.

Coupled with the amazing eyesight, which can be observed clearly, Xia Jie quickly drew a praying mantis of the same proportion, and even the barbs on the claws are quite numerous.

"Hey, isn't Dalijie going to do bamboo carving, why do you paint again?"

"This should be in preparation for carving!"

"Well, I know a little bit about bamboo carving, and the anchor is going to rub the painting, so that you can avoid mistakes. ”

"The craftsmanship is really from big to small, the root carvings are all big guys, and the bamboo carvings are gadgets!"

"Why do I suddenly think of Sheriff Black Cat when I see a praying mantis?"

"Uncle upstairs, you've revealed your age!"

"To be honest, the sketching level of the craftsman is okay, he should have graduated from an art school. ”

"What are you talking about, didn't you say that New Oriental is good? Why did it become an art school again?"

In the discussion of the audience in the live broadcast room, Xia Jie took the bamboo and returned to the house, ready to start.

Because I want to be a three-dimensional praying mantis, I definitely can't do it on a piece of bamboo.

So Xia Jie decided to take a few steps.

The head, body, wings, sickle, and feet are carved in a total of five parts, and finally combined.

As an "old" craftsman with rich inheritance skills, and already has some practical experience in root carving, Xia Jie can be said to be handy when carving this praying mantis, and there is no jerky at all.

The moonlight is misty, the stars are shining, the quiet courtyard, and the craftsman sits alone.

In fact, for carving, the smaller the thing, the greater the difficulty, and the more it tests people's heart, eyesight and patience.

Obviously, Xia Jie is not lacking in these three points.

Moreover, he behaved even better, seemingly completely immersed in carving, moment by moment.

From the moment it was passed on, it naturally became a hobby for him.

Where is the impatience to do what you love?

The drone truthfully reflected this scene to the audience in the live broadcast room.

Everyone seems to know that they can't disturb the craftsmen's work, and even the speeches are a lot less, but the number of viewers is rising.

An hour later, the fan-like head was carved.

Two hours later, the banana-shaped body was complete.

Four hours later, two pairs of visible wings were in place.

Six hours later, the murderous scythe was also formed.

Seven hours later, the four slender hind feet were finally done!

Before I knew it, it was almost three o'clock in the morning.
