Since he promised Wang Yun, Qi Lao must have called Zhu Mingqiang.

Even if Zhu Mingqiang is one of the top jade carving masters in China, he is also cautious about Qi Lao's call.

However, when he heard that Qi Lao asked him to accept an apprentice, Zhu Mingqiang was obviously stunned for a moment.

Qi Lao explained to him that he just wanted Zhu Mingqiang to pretend to agree to accept an apprentice, teach him some basic carving techniques, and then find an opportunity to hit him hard, so that he felt that carving was not as simple as he imagined, and it would be good if he could give up learning this thing.

In fact, Qi Lao had always wanted Wang Yun to put his mind on the cultural relics as much as possible, and even the gambling stone Qi Lao felt that it had delayed Wang Yun a lot, but after all, it was Wang Yun's job, and he couldn't say anything.

Unexpectedly, he still wanted to learn carving now, which was even more time-consuming, so Qi Lao was not so willing for Wang Yun to touch these things again from the bottom of his heart.

As soon as he said this, Zhu Lao hesitated a little, like his current status, there are too many people who want to worship him as a teacher, so he also depends on the other party's qualifications when he accepts apprentices.

After all, the water quality and development space of the apprentice in the future also represent the ability of this master to a large extent.

It's just that Qi Lao has spoken, so he naturally won't refuse.

"Elder Qi, who is this person who makes you pay so much attention?" asked Zhu Lao curiously.

"Speaking of which, you also know this person, his name is Wang Yun. ”

Hearing Wang Yun's name, Zhu Lao's heart suddenly moved.

He knew very well that Wang Yun was now a closed disciple of Qi Lao, and his ability to gamble on stone and jade was very powerful, and he was even the youngest ancient jade expert in China.

Regardless of whether he has these skills or not, it depends on him being a disciple of Qi Lao, and then he will be his own disciple, wouldn't it be ......

Thinking of this, Zhu Lao suddenly said, "Old Qi, I know, I'll prepare some things for him in a while, and see if he can sit still." ”

"Okay, then I'll bother you. ”

Zhu Mingqiang was very concerned about Wang Yun's affairs, and sent a package out on the same day.

After Qi Lao received the things the next day, he asked Qin Han to send them to Wang Yun.

Wang Yun also read a lot of information collected by himself today, but these things are theoretical knowledge, and carving is a handicraft, and you can't see the feeling.

After Qin Han sent the things over, he naturally stayed on his side, and this time in addition to protecting Wang Yun, he actually faintly acted as Qi Lao's eyeliner.

Wang Yun took the things in Qin Han's hand and said happily, "Thank you Brother Qin, I'll go and say thank you to Elder Qi tomorrow." ”

Then, he took these things to a small room, and Qin Han followed.

This was originally a maid's room, but it had been vacated by Wang Yun and prepared to be used for jade carving.

There are already workbenches and jade carving tools inside, as well as some raw materials.

There was also a sofa and a coffee table or something, which was obviously the inspiration he got from Huayun Jewelry.

He put the box on the workbench and opened it excitedly, and found that the contents were not some of the things to be learned at the entry level.

In the case of jade carving, the early stage is divided into material selection and peeling, as well as design, and then the official carving begins, and the carving is also divided into rough adjustment and fine carving, and then it will be polished and waxed.

Only after these processes can you get a complete thing, and the technique of jade carving is still quite difficult to learn.

Let's just say that the premise of choosing the process of peeling will take a long time, but this is for others, for Wang Yun, he used to make gambling stones, and the ability to gamble stones is very strong, so he knows the quality of jade at a glance.

If you peel the skin, it is because the color of the outside of the jadeite is different from the color inside, and the carving should be based on different needs, sometimes the outside color must be peeled, and sometimes the outside color must be retained.

And because Wang Yun has perspective, his ability in this area can be the same as that of a master like Zhu Mingqiang, and he can determine how much color difference there is between the inside and the outside when he gets a piece of jade.

After these two things are passed, it is designed, which is the most critical step in jade carving.

The carver designs a suitable pattern on the drawing according to the expected texture, color, literature and other factors, and also considers how to use or cover up some flaws on the jade, and the most important subject matter of the carving should be suitable.

This is not difficult for Wang Yun, he has just identified hundreds of ancient jade, and the subject matter can be that the club has already stocked a lot of things, and even the use of some flaws, because Wang Yun has the ability of perspective, so he can plan well in advance, and he can definitely use or dispose of these flaws perfectly.

Therefore, for Wang Yun, what is lacking at present is the kung fu in his hands.

It just so happened that the information sent by Zhu Lao was about the experience and skills of carving, which was also in order to complete the task assigned by Qi Lao, so he deliberately omitted the previous things, the purpose was of course to hit him as Qi Lao said.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yun had already learned a little about the things he omitted through the Internet, and he felt that he could skip those things and ignore them.

It's just that Zhu Lao not only omitted the previous steps, but also took all the information related to large pieces, because he said that the ancients' carving methods were all big and then small, and they generally carved small things, not necessarily large ones, but as long as they can carve large pieces, they will definitely carve small pieces.

"Do you really start with the big items at the beginning? Then how do you use a knife ?...... this" Wang Yun looked at the things sent by Zhu Lao over and over again, and asked himself excitedly.

Qin Han saw that he was fascinated, so he withdrew from the opposite side, so as not to disturb him.

It's just that after a while, he appeared in the living room of Qi's hometown.

"Did Wang Yun feel anxious and ready to retreat?" Qi Lao asked curiously.

"No, I saw that Mr. Wang was quite serious, after getting Zhu Lao's things, he sat there and didn't move, he shouldn't have even known when I came out of the room. Qin Han said truthfully.

"Ah, I haven't moved, have you eaten lunch?" Qi Lao asked nervously.

"No?" Qin Han shook his head.

"This ...... Xiao Wang ......" Qi Lao stood up excitedly and hurriedly called his cook.

Seeing that Qi Lao was so nervous, Qin Han thought to himself, no wonder everyone said that Qi Lao treated Wang Yun closer than a closed disciple, looking at the nervousness, he didn't know that he thought he was worried about his grandson.

It's just that after the chef came, Qi Lao pondered for a while, didn't say anything, and let him go down.

"I'm here to see how obsessed this kid is with jade carving, and I'll call him over in the evening to take the homework he told him before taking the test, and if he can't answer those historical questions, I'll teach him a good lesson." ”

His angry appearance made Qin Han hold back a smile and return to Wang Yun's villa.

At this time, Wang Yun was still immersed in the jade carving, and he stayed in that small room to study what Zhu Lao gave him.

In terms of hand-carving, the difference between the present and the ancient times is not very big, and even the tools are similar, but many tools have been improved and are more convenient to use.

For example, the most commonly used gun head in modern engraving, although the shape is no different from the ancient times, but now it is added to an electric pen and used, and the gun head will rotate quickly after starting, and in ancient times, it must have been made to rotate by hand.

There are good and bad electric ones, and the advantage is that the efficiency is naturally higher, but the disadvantage is that when using these tools, not only must you be very skilled, but you must also concentrate on it, otherwise you will ruin a piece of jade if you are not careful.

Normally, beginners in jade carving basically practice on some stones, and then remove them from small to large, because even outside, large jade carvings are relatively rare.

But Zhu Lao directly asked Wang Yun to carve large things, asked him to find a big stone, and said that She Manni pebbles and the like were good.
