"Not bad. Stonemasonry, you have already graduated. ”

After Xu Wen carved this stone carving, his emotions had not fully recovered, and he was still a little stunned, and even Tianqing's words pulled him back to reality.

"Thank you, Master. Xu asked.

Lian Tianqing's standard for becoming a teacher is actually very high.

Although he had already graduated from the carpenter department after the apprenticeship county test, he had already learned all the eighteen skills by that time, and all other carpentry skills were just extensions of this foundation.

"But in terms of details, there are still some things that can be paid attention to. Lian Tianqing said again.

He picked up Xu Wen's stone carving, as if he wanted to modify it directly, but just now he picked it up and put it back, went outside again to take a piece of granite of a similar size, and demonstrated it to Xu Wen from scratch.

Xu Wen immediately retracted his mind and looked at it seriously.

Even in the old wood yard before, even Tianqing rarely had this kind of hand-to-hand modification demonstration for him.

Stone carving is first made of a rough embryo, then shaped step by step, and finally/refined.

The first step was to beat the embryo, and even Tianqing's movements looked similar to Xu Wen's, but Xu Wen immediately saw that the way he held the chisel, the technique of swinging the hammer and the landing point were all subtly different.

And the difference between a top stonemason and an ordinary master is often in this subtlety.

Xu Wen looked at it, and his hand subconsciously moved, imitating and exerting force in the void.

Just by imitating it like this, he could clearly feel that some of the sluggish places that he could feel but didn't realize when he was carving before suddenly became smooth, and the effect was immediate.

Lian Tianqing carved all the way back, and the technique was very similar to Xu Wen, obviously according to his method.

This is really not simple, you must know that Xu Wen's stonemason skills were not actually learned from him, but from ancient times to today, from handwritten notes to hand-held teaching, from many people.

But even Tianqing watched Xu Wen demonstrate it like this, and learned all these things. It was like he had mastered something more fundamental and essential, and that it was just an evolution on that basis.

Like eighteen tricks and other carpentry skills?

Xu Wen looked at it carefully, and suddenly had some associations.

Therefore, above the twenty-four carvings of the Meng family and the Qin codex, there is a higher and more original level?

This piece of granite has gradually taken shape, exactly the same as the one carved by Xu Wen. This hard stone didn't bother Xu Wen, even Tianqing.

It seems that at a certain level, the limitation of stone is already very small for them.

Lian Tianqing continued to carve, becoming more and more detailed, and Xu Wen quickly abandoned superfluous thoughts and became more focused.

Gradually, he held his breath and stared closely at the face and human body that were gradually formed by the hard granite, and the whole person seemed to be completely intimidated.

In fact, Xu Wen's original work has been completed very well, and even Tianqing's adjustments are not big, only a few corrections.

But it's just such a little detail correction, and the picture is suddenly full of tension. The strong emotions were about to come out, and they were sealed in the stone statue, as if they would explode at any time.

This was simply a magic-like scene, and Xu Wen stared at it closely, not daring to miss it at all.

But when all the details gradually plumped out and the stone statue was about to be completed, Lian Tianqing suddenly stopped and frowned.

"No, I can't. He stared at the stone statue in front of him and shook his head, "The carving is broken." ”

"Huh?" Xu asked, looking up, not knowing why.

He held his breath and stared, waiting to see the birth of a superb masterpiece, but even Tianqing actually said that the carving was broken?

What's broken?

"The emotions are too much, and there is a suspicion of grandstanding. Containing but not spitting, mourning but not sadness, is the right way. Lian Tianqing was a little dissatisfied with his work, and turned to Xu Wen's previous one, "The technique is a little clumsy, but the mood is just right, better than mine." ”

Master said that the apprentice's work is better than his own, which is very rare in this era, but it is normal to put it on Lian Tianqing.

Xu Wen was also comparing, looked at it for a while, nodded and admitted: "Master is right. It would be nice to combine the two sides......"

Hearing this, Lian Tianqing not only didn't think it was wrong, but a faint smile appeared on her lips, and she stood up and said, "Then take this as your next homework." When will it be done, when will it be handed over to me. ”

Although Xu Wen's current stonemason skills are not as good as Lian Tianqing, he is already the top of the top, and even if he makes offerings to the royal family, it is more than enough. What's more, he has a heavy responsibility next, and he may even have to squeeze in time to sleep in a year or two. Lian Tianqing's homework is difficult and unnecessary.

But Xu Wen got up and saluted respectfully, "Yes, Master." ”

He carefully wrapped the two statues in cloth and placed them in a nearby box. He put away his things, looked up and was about to speak, but found that Lian Tianqing had already gone out.

"Master......" Xu Wen was stunned when he stopped half of his words, and then scratched his head.

Even Tianqing specially called him out, Xu Wen thought he was going to ask him, but he finished checking his homework?

Does Master really have nothing to say to him? Then why did he avoid seeing him along the way? When he took on such a big job, he didn't have anything to give him an explanation?

Xu Wen was stunned for a while, put the box away, and followed out.

As soon as I went out, I heard the noise outside loud and became a little noisy.

Even Lin Lin and the others had finished eating, and they were piling up next to the window and pointing and talking about something. Previously, because the master and apprentice were talking about things, they didn't dare to speak loudly, but when they came out, their voices immediately rose.

"Xiao Xu Xiaoxu, come and see this one cut by Luo Shao, I'm dying of laughter. Lian Linlin saw Xu Wen and hurriedly beckoned to him.

Xu Wen walked over and saw that they were "appreciating" the paper-cuts they cut when he went out with Lian Linlin before.

After they came back, they went straight to the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and before cooking, Luo Zi and they had already finished cutting paper and pasted it on the window.

Lian Linlin was referring to one of them now.

Now glass has been invented, but it has not yet been popularized to such a remote place as the Western Desert, where the windows are mainly made of wood, rattan face, and cotton curtains are hung in winter to keep the wind warm.

In addition to being beautiful and adding atmosphere, another important function of window grilles is to keep warm in winter.

The situation of Lvlin Town is special, and the windows are relatively light and thin, but the window grilles of each family still continue to use the unique style of the Western Desert, and the three-dimensional paper-cutting is one of them.

Luo Shao was very familiar with paper, and quickly figured out the trick and made a picture of it.

Interestingly, instead of using the folklore and auspicious meanings common to paper-cutting, he cut a small scene with a story.

There is a man and a woman on the screen, and the woman is being scolded by the man, holding her head, and looking very aggrieved.

It seems to be an ordinary domestic violence scene, but if you pay a little attention, you can see that the man is Lian Linlin, and the woman is him Luo Shao himself. Although the gender has changed, the appearance and demeanor of the two are somewhat similar to the prototype, which is a copy of their daily life!

Xu Wen walked to the vicinity and immediately recognized it, and couldn't help laughing.

"You're making it up! When did I become so fierce!" Even Lin Lin burst into tears and pointed at Luo Shao and said.

"Hey, don't beat me, husband, the concubine knows it's wrong. Luo Shao covered his face and pinched the orchid fingers and pretended to be a monster.

The courtyard was quiet for a moment, and the next moment, everyone burst into laughter, even Lian Tianqing, who was standing under the wall not far away, couldn't help but laugh a little.

Lian Linlin laughed the most, bent over and squatted on the ground, I don't know if it was wine or laughter, her cheeks turned red, and the starlight seemed to disappear from the sky and landed in her eyes.

Xu Wen looked down and saw that the depression in his heart that had just been born from the carving of the stone statue had completely disappeared, and his mood became light and happy.

Lian Linlin raised his head, just in time to meet his gaze, and the light in his eyes suddenly seemed to be brighter.

She jumped up and shouted, "I've got fireworks, let's have fun!"
