Chapter 424: Volunteer Teacher
Wen is no stranger to playing gourd, so Hu Yang did not continue to explain to everyone.
Soon, Lao Su came back with the purple gourd, and with a happy face, he knew that he had bought something good. And the fat man who sold the gourd was equally happy, and finally caught a wronged man.
In fact, there is no natural purple gourd.
In the circle of literary gourds, the purple gourds in Tianjin have been circulated, but in fact, they are all colored gourds. Purple is more noble, so there are unscrupulous profiteers, so they took advantage of this and came up with such a gimmick to attract people's attention, and by the way, they were the first to eat crabs and deceived many people.
When everyone reacted, there was no natural purple gourd at all, and they had been fooled, and they regretted it.
Lao Su is naturally clear about this. So, at first, after Hu Yang said that the purple gourd was a good thing, he immediately leaned over and looked at it for a while.
After reading it, I realized that it was not a real gourd. It was made of wood, and he soon knew what kind of wood it was, made of purple heart suzu.
"Xiaohu has good eyesight, you can see this. Lao Su said without hesitation.
"Purple gourds, it's really rare. Andy said.
Lao Su shook his head: "This is not a gourd grown from a gourd vine, it is made of precious wood." ”
Belch!
Xiaoxiao and the others hurriedly took a serious look, and sure enough, they found that it was wooden. But, the question is, is there purple wood? What kind of wood is this?
"This kind of wood, the color is so beautiful. Ran Ran couldn't help but say.
"This is purple heart su, which is one of the world's most precious woods. Lao Su explained.
The heartwood of this wood is dark reddish-brown to purple-brown, attractive in color, shiny, no special odor, high strength, rot resistance, acid resistance, and resistance to termites and silverfish.
He told everyone that when the purple heart is first cut down, the color of the cut surface is light brown, and it will gradually oxidize and turn to purple red, dark purple to purple brown. Because of its natural and unique purple color, it is very rare, and it is favored by people, just like black tulips and purple roses, which are very rare, and are called "violets in the wood".
Of course, if it is pure wood, the price of purple heart suzhou wood is far less than that of top timber such as golden silk nanmu, huanghuali wood, and red sandalwood.
The really precious place is the depiction of the surface of the gourd, which is very exquisite, and he will get it for a thousand yuan, and he will definitely make a lot of money.
"This portrayal is definitely engraved by a master. Lao Su looked excited, although the depiction on the surface of this gourd did not leave a signature, I don't know if it was made by the master, but there is no doubt that this is a precious gourd.
If you take it to the auction market, more than two or three hundred thousand, there is no problem.
This may be nothing to those millions, millions, or even tens of millions of treasures, just gadgets. But even so, for Lao Su, it is also a rare leak.
Sure enough, it was the right decision to bring poplar out today.
For a while, he thought that if his daughter could marry this guy, it seemed to be a good choice, but he didn't know if his girl would give it a good idea.
Suddenly, there was a commotion ahead.
"Hey, this position has always been mine, where did you kid come from? Do you understand the rules here? Are you ......?"
I saw that a middle-aged man grabbed a young man, counted down and taught him a lesson, and his speech was a little mean, ugly, and harsh!
The young man was carrying a large bag of things, and in front of him, there were many carved goods, which seemed to be quite good. It can be seen that this person does not come to this kind of place often, and even does not do this kind of thing often, and he is still very jerky.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'll go. With that, the young man hurriedly packed up his things and prepared to shift his position.
It is true that he does not come often, and this is the first time.
In fact, he is a volunteer teacher, but his family lives nearby. After graduating, he chose to teach in remote areas. The place is very backward, the transportation is inconvenient, the access is very inconvenient, and the information is not circulating, it is one of the most backward mountainous areas in the country, right?
The children's education in the village is very poor, and many facilities are not available.
When he arrived at the village, he realized that the conditions were more difficult than he had imagined, and he almost backed down. But when I saw the longing eyes of those children, my heart softened, and I stayed.
This stay is more than three years. In addition, he also matched a girl in the village, and after getting married last year, he couldn't leave that village even more.
For this reason, his mother did not say much about him, everyone else is a person who goes to a high place, but you are a person who goes to a low place! Moreover, he has not gone home a few times throughout the year.
After all, my mother is missing his son.
In this regard, his father did not say anything, but only supported his son's approach, feeling that this is the duty of a teacher.
Recently, he plans to equip the school with something, but it will require a lot of money. The village has gritted its teeth, and everyone has made up some, but it is still insufficient. For this, he himself paid half a year's salary.
Two days ago, he needed to go home, and there was an old man in the village who played carving all day, and handed him a big bag of carvings, and asked him to take them out to the big city to see if anyone wanted them, and if they could sell them for some money, they could be regarded as feeding the village to do something.
He looked at these carved goods, they were quite good-looking, and he felt that there was a market, and he remembered that there was a place near his village where he could sell these things, so he came to see them today.
Wei Zhengyi didn't want to quarrel with others, and he felt that it was unnecessary, so he simply gave up his position.
Xiaoxiao and Ran Ran are both girls around eighteen years old, and they like cute things. Among those carved items, there are many cartoon characters, such as Peppa Pig, etc., which are quite cute.
"Wow! This is good-looking, how much does it cost?" Ran Ran had already taken two or three pieces from other people's stalls.
Wei Zhengyi saw that there was a customer immediately, and he was immediately overjoyed: "Wait, wait, wait, I have to give up a place." ”
He hurriedly found a vacant seat, and then went into business: "Beauty, this sells for fifty yuan a piece, do you think it's okay? To be honest, this is carved by a master in the mountains, and the old roots are all dug out, whether it is to find materials or carve, it takes time and energy." ”
Yes, this is not going to be a business at all!
However, it doesn't matter, fifty yuan a piece, hand-carved things, in fact, are not expensive. So, she and her good sister Xiaoxiao picked several pieces.
Seeing that this person was real, Hu Yang said: "Big brother, your carved product sells for fifty yuan a piece, which is a bit low." ”
Hearing this, Wei Zhengyi was completely relieved and said with a smile: "It's good if you don't think it's expensive." These items are all entrusted by the master to me to sell and then donate to the school......"
As he spoke, he explained the matter a little, so he was still full of gratitude to the old master.
Only then did the audience in the live broadcast room know that this was a volunteer teacher who had been working in remote mountainous areas for three or four years, and couldn't help but admire.
Xiaoxiao and them, they originally heard Brother Hu say that the sale was cheap, and they still wanted to give more, but after hearing this, it was even more unreasonable to take advantage.
"Brother Hu, how much is this more suitable?" they asked.
Hu Yang glanced at it a few times: "The master's carving skills are relatively rough, and it is estimated that he usually does less of this kind of fine work, maybe he is a carpenter?"
Wei Zhengyi was surprised: "Yes, that master was originally a carpenter, and he did not carve much. This time, it took a lot of effort to fund the school. ”
As you can see, this big snakeskin bag is estimated to be as many as a hundred or dozens of pieces, even if it can carve several a day, it will take many days!
"These root carvings, there are pine wood, there are also some shrub roots, the quality is okay. However, he did not make full use of the characteristics of the roots of the tree to carve it, and as a craft, the artistic value is very low, but if you play with it yourself, use it for decoration or something, it doesn't matter.
According to the price of furnishings, a piece of 100 yuan is also acceptable. Hu Yang said.
Root carving, as I said earlier, is to take the self-generated form and distorted form of tree roots as the object of artistic creation, and create artistic image works such as figures, animals, and utensils through conception, artistic processing and technological processing.
The root carving process pays attention to "three points of artificial, seven points of nature", which means that in the creation of root carving, the natural form of the root material should be mainly used to express the artistic image, and the auxiliary artificial treatment and modification are carried out, therefore, the root carving is also called "the art of the root" or "the art of the root".
However, the master did not understand these and reversed the two. In addition, the craftsmanship of the carving is a bit rough, and in terms of artistic value, it is really reluctant.
However, if it is only used as a toy or ornament, it is sufficient.
"Then two hundred?" Xiaoxiao also deliberately raised it to two hundred.
If there are two hundred pieces, Wei Zhengyi's large pile of root carvings can be sold for a lot of money.
When Wei Zhengyi heard this, he was even more happy, and hurriedly thanked them, and did not be polite to these people. He could see that these people didn't seem to lack that much money. Anyway, if you sell these for money, you don't use them for yourself, and you don't have to worry about selling them expensive.
"I thank you on behalf of the dozens of students in the village. Wei Zhengyi said with heartfelt gratitude.
At this time, some of the viewers in the live broadcast room couldn't help but want to help buy one or two pieces and asked Brother Hu for help.
Hu Yang thought for a while and said to Wei Zhengyi: "That's it! I'll buy the rest." Also, how much money is there for the school? I'll donate a little bit. ”
As soon as everyone listened, the audience knew Brother Hu's urine. This is to forcibly give everyone benefits, whether you like it or not, anyway, I just want to send the rhythm.
Wei Zhengyi was stunned, this buddy, not only bought them all, but also said that he wanted to donate a sum of money?
He hurriedly thanked him again, and also made public the number of 30,000 that the school was temporarily vacant.
"Okay, I'll donate 100,000 yuan, the extra money, I hope you can use this money well. ”
Everyone knows that when encountering such a thing, Brother Hu will never be ambiguous.
