Only then did Zhu Mingqiang tell Wang Yun about the purpose of calling him over this time.

It turned out that Kyoto was going to hold a jade carving competition for the emerging jade cup, and the participants were all newcomers, and Zhu Lao felt that Wang Yun was now also his disciple, and wanted to take him over to see the world.

As a result, when Wang Yun heard this, he hurriedly refused, "Old Zhu, can I not participate in this, I'm embarrassed to go to the competition with some children!"

Although Wang Yun feels that he is sometimes embarrassed to be an expert, this identity is on him after all, and it is somewhat difficult to participate in this kind of competition again.

When Zhu Mingqiang heard him say this, he immediately smiled and said, "What kind of children, the jade carving competition is not divided into any age group, every time there are people in their twenties and fifties, but now basically only some jade carvers will train new jade carvers, and other jade carvers are almost all pulled into the team, so everyone's age will be higher." ”

After listening to Zhu Lao's explanation, Wang Yun immediately breathed a sigh of relief, if it was compared with someone about his age, it would definitely not matter, and it happened that he could also have a long experience.

"Some of my apprentices should be in this contest as well, but I think you're going to win. "Zhu Mingqiang is very optimistic about Wang Yun.

Hearing him talk about his apprentice, Wang Yun couldn't help but laugh.

Since he wanted to learn jade carving, he still has a certain understanding of this industry, and knows that Zhu Lao is the one who receives the most apprentices in the jade carving circle, although most of them are not the kind of formal apprentices, but he likes to communicate, and he also likes to share his experience and experience with others, so many people who have been instructed by him have come out to play his name.

"Old Zhu, I haven't been learning this thing for a month, can I do it?" Wang Yun felt that he had only been in contact with it for so much time to go to the competition, which seemed too hasty.

But Zhu Lao seemed to have a lot of confidence in him, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "I'm optimistic about your strength, just go for you." ”

Then Zhu Lao told Wang Yun about the process of the competition, the competition will start tomorrow, but the first day is mainly by the jade carving association to tell these newcomers about the situation of the jade carving industry, and then a jade carver will be carved on stage, which is equivalent to giving these newcomers a teaching lesson, and the second day is the real competition.

Next, Wang Yun didn't go anywhere, so he stayed at Zhu's house to learn some knowledge of jade carving.

There are a lot of works in Zhu's family, and as long as you look at them with your heart, you can learn a lot of things, but with Wang Yun's current ability, although he can see it, it is difficult to express it in his hands.

During the competition, there were many people lined up at the gate of the arena, and there were more than 50 people who came to participate in the competition this time, and the age span was also very large, from eighteen or nineteen years old to adulthood, to thirty years old.

Everyone is from all over the country, and they are all newcomers in their own area with outstanding ability, it seems that only Wang Yun, except for Zhu Mingqiang, does not know anyone in this circle.

Zhu Mingqiang looked at the situation at the scene, and then said to Wang Yun, "These are all newcomers, but at least they have studied for half a year, and some have even studied for more than a year, and you have only been in contact with it for less than a month, so you must be one hundred and twenty points of spirit!"

Wang Yun suddenly had a bitter smile, knowing that he had only studied for a month, and insisted that he would come to participate in the competition, wasn't Zhu Lao afraid that he would embarrass him?

However, he doesn't have too much pressure, most of these people should start from the most basic learning, just start from the selection of materials, peeling, if you have not been in contact with jade carving before, and have not been in contact with jade, it will take a lot of time to learn these two.

And because I knew a lot about jade before, I skipped it directly, and even when designing the composition, and even when carving, I can use the help of abilities, as if carving against a mold.

At this time, a young man walked over to Wang Yun, "You are Zhu Laoxin's apprentice?"

Wang Yun saw that this young man was about the same age as himself, nodded and asked, "Whose apprentice are you?"

After all, jade carving is a handicraft, and it is basically learned from the master, and few people stay at home and learn it by themselves.

Zhou Yuancai heard him ask this and said with a smile, "I don't have a master, I learned from my father, and my father learned from Li Lao Li Bogu." ”

Li Bogu, like Zhu Lao, is the top jade carving master in China, and he is also developing in Kyoto, while several other top jade carving masters are all in other places.

Zhu Lao and Li Lao are both first-class jade carvers in China, but Zhu Lao is very good at large and small jade carvings, while Li Lao focuses on small jade carvings, and his jade carvings are almost unmatched in the grasp of charm, and almost every work has a deep heritage.

Suddenly, Wang Yun laughed, "In this case, according to the seniority, are you going to call me uncle?"

Zhou Yuancai was stunned for a moment, this Wang Yun looked a little smaller than himself, and now he actually wanted to suppress himself with his seniority.

He stubbornly said, "The beauty you think, our jade carving realm master gate is not so wide. ”

Wang Yun smiled and touched his nose, in fact, he just wanted to make a joke with Zhou Yuan.

If he really said what he said, many people in their forties and fifties might call him uncle, and if they dared to call him, he wouldn't be so cheeky to agree.

"You are Zhu Lao's apprentice, then we are the biggest competitors in this competition, how long have you been studying?" Zhou Yuancai then asked.

"It's been almost a month. Wang Yun said truthfully.

It's almost a month? That's every month?

Zhou Yuancai's eyes widened in shock, "How is it possible?" I have been practicing for more than a month when I first turned off the selection of materials and peeling, what can you learn in less than a month?"

Saying that, Wang Yun was still a little embarrassed, "I used to make jade, so I don't need to learn these peeling and material selection, and I just learned some carving techniques from Zhu Lao." ”

After listening to his explanation, Zhou Yuancai was still shocked, the carving skills were not so easy to learn, but he could carve a complete sculpture after learning for almost two months, and it took another two months to keep the things he carved from deforming.

And the young man in front of him dared to come to this kind of national competition after studying for less than a month.

"What are you going to do about the official competition? At this time, you have to choose your own design for the I-level materials, and Zhu Lao can't come up to help you, what should you do alone?" Zhou Yuancai asked kindly, he obviously misunderstood what Wang Yun said.

Wang Yun hurriedly said, "I used to carve things I carved and the design and selection of materials were all made by myself, although I have not been learning jade carving for a long time, but I have learned a lot in the jade industry, I can do it alone." ”

Zhou Yuancai still looked at Wang Yun at the meeting, everyone understands the truth that interlacing is like separating mountains, even if Wang Yun has been in the industry, at most he knows how to distinguish the quality of jade, but the jade used in the competition is almost a level, and everyone has no choice at all.

He suddenly felt that this Wang Yun was only afraid that he was a self-righteous young man, relying on his own understanding of some things and wanting to take shortcuts, Zhu Lao was afraid that he deliberately brought him over to sharpen his sharpness.

Hmph! In this way, even if he is Zhu Lao's apprentice, it is not enough to justify, tomorrow's game will definitely be the first place! Zhou Yuancai's previous worries were swept away.
