After the people from the Jade Association finished speaking, a jade carver came up to the stage to give everyone a carving demonstration.

On the stage was a middle-aged carver, who wore a set of Chinese-style casual clothes, and the whole person looked like a literati.

"That's my dad. Zhou Yuancai whispered to Wang Yun.

Wang Yun looked at the stage, although the middle-aged man on the stage had a name tag pinned to his clothes, but they were sitting too far away to read the words on it clearly.

However, Wang Yun's ability was amplified, so he narrowed his eyes casually and saw the name written on the name tag.

It's just that before he could think about Zhou Wenxi, Zhou Yuan was next to him and continued, "Have you heard my father's name? He got the title of jade carving master a few years ago. ”

There are some jade carving master titles in China every year, and Jieyang has also had them before, but taking some of them is on a small scale, which is equivalent to providing some jade carvers with some opportunities for them to enter a new class, and the real jade carving masters are still different.

People who have the title of jade carving master are not good, but there are few people who can be regarded as top jade carving masters.

Since Zhou Wenxi is Li Bogu's disciple, it is only a matter of time before he gets the jade carving master, if he can't even get this title, it is estimated that he himself is embarrassed to say that he is Li Lao's apprentice outside.

There are two large projection screens on the left and right of the venue, and the picture broadcast at this time is the picture of Zhou Wenxi on the stage, and he is now sitting in front of the jade carving workbench with a piece of green jade.

The materials of jade carving generally include white jade, green jade, and some Shoushan stone, Qingtian stone, jadeite is just one of them.

The green jade in Zhou Wenxi's hand is very small, the shape is irregular, even the surface is not smooth, he can't even draw lines, and he doesn't know what he is going to carve.

When ordinary people carve, they will use a black pen to paint the things they want to carve on the material to be carved, which is one of the most basic techniques, but for some skilled sculptors, they have already been familiar with what they want to carve, so it is not very important for them to draw a line or not.

However, for Wang Yun, his ability can directly print the pattern to be carved on the material, which is much easier to use than scribing, so there is no need for this process.

Zhou Wenxi is not a jade carving master, and after a while, the general appearance of the fast green jade is basically presented.

The color of green jade is generally dull, and it doesn't look as transparent and shiny as jadeite, but at this time, what Zhou Wenxi carved out is also quite vibrant.

He carved a small lotus canopy, and there were lotus seeds popping out of the lotus pod.

"He is worthy of being a master of jade carving!" Wang Yun praised from the bottom of his heart.

Zhou Wenxi's carving is very sophisticated, and there was originally a little bit of different color on the green jade, but after the tip of the lotus seed came out, the different color became the same as the finishing touch.

Hearing Wang Yun's admiration, Zhou Yuancai was naturally extremely proud in his heart.

After Zhou Wenxi finished carving, an old man came to the stage and explained to everyone with Zhou Wenxi's carved works.

In the end, he emphasized, "We can't carve every piece of jade to be perfect, sometimes when we encounter some flawed jade, don't think about removing these flaws first, but think about whether these flaws can be better used, just like this lotus canopy, that layer of variegated color is handled, but it becomes the highlight of this jade carving." ”

After the old man explained, the first day of activities was over.

At this time, Zhu Lao also came to Wang Yun's side, "How is it?"

Wang Yun said a little frustratedly, "Old Zhu, if someone is about the same level as Zhou Wenxi tomorrow, I will definitely have no hope." ”

As soon as his voice fell, Zhu Lao suddenly smiled and said, "How is it possible, Zhou Wenxi is relatively good among the jade carving masters, and tomorrow's ones are just some beginners, it is estimated that many people still can't carve things with complete opinions, even if you take out your usual level, you can definitely get a ranking if you carve a complete work." ”

"Okay!" It's all about this time, so I can only do my best.

At this time, Zhou Wenxi saw Zhu Lao, so he took Zhou Yuancai to this side, and greeted Zhu Lao from a distance, "Zhu Lao!"

"Your kid's carving has grown a lot recently, and the effect of that layer of different color on the tip of the lotus seed by you is really good, so you can think of dealing with it like this at such a time, and you are worthy of being Li Lao's apprentice." Zhu Lao did not hesitate to praise Zhou Wenxi.

And Zhou Wenxi was not proud after hearing Zhu Lao's praise of himself, and the expression on his face became more modest, "If Zhu Lao gets this piece of green jade, what kind of thing will he use to carve?"

Zhu Lao didn't hide it, and said directly, "I should choose to carve some round things, like walnuts or Chang'e running to the moon, because this will reduce the loss of materials." ”

Wang Yun recalled that although the piece of material that Zhou Wenxi got was not very regular, it was still generally round, and if a round object was carved, the loss would indeed be relatively small.

And the lotus pod is like a cone, and the lower part is indeed a little more lost.

Loss is also a key problem in engraving, and basically every knife will produce a certain degree of loss.

If you carve some ordinary things, then it's fine, but Wang Yunxue carving is to carve out some good materials that he gambled on, just like that piece of golden egg yolk, every moment of a knife is estimated to be like a prick in the heart, if you don't consider the problem of loss, it will really cause a lot of unnecessary waste.

"Jiang is really still old and spicy. Zhou Wenxi said admiringly.

Old Zhu smiled and shook his head, "It's just my idea, you are Old Man Li's disciple, your works are more elaborate on artistic conception, and the lotus canopy is also very good." ”

At this time, Zhou Wenxi also noticed Wang Yun standing beside Zhu Lao, so he asked curiously, "Zhu Lao, I haven't seen this before, is it your old and new disciple?"

"Yes, I have been teaching him for less than a month, and he has other things to do behind him, so I thought I would take this opportunity to bring him over to see the next world. Zhu Lao said.

When Zhou Wenxi heard him say this, he couldn't help but look at Wang Yun.

He has been in the jade carving circle for twenty or thirty years, and this is the first time he has heard of such a thing.

However, since it was brought by Zhu Lao, he naturally had his thoughts, so Zhou Wenxi quickly put away his surprised expression.

After everyone exchanged a few words, Zhou Wenxi left with Zhou Yuanwen.

"Dad, I just chatted with Zhu Lao's apprentice for a while, he really studied for less than a month, I think Zhu Lao really brought him over to see the world, and I will definitely win tomorrow." Zhou Yuancai said confidently.

"Well, if you win Zhu Lao's disciple, your master will definitely be very happy, he and Zhu Lao are mortal enemies, and the two often tear apart, this time it can be regarded as giving you a chance to make your master happy. Zhou Wenxi said.

And Wang Yun's side, Zhu Lao was also telling him, "Wang Yun, Qi Lao didn't approve of you learning jade carving before, you have to grasp this game well, but you used carved stone before, and tomorrow you will use jade, there is a difference between the two, if you don't master it well, but there is no hope." ”

For this, Wang Yunzhi is not worried, he has been in contact with so much redundancy before, and when he was calcining the stone before, he also cut so much jade, and he knows this very well.
