"Chen Li, have you forgotten to go home for dinner again!" came his wife's sigh on the other end of the phone.

"You and your daughter eat first, I'll come back later today." ”

"Okay, don't patronize the work, even if you don't come back for dinner, you have to find something to eat in the studio, I have a lot of cookies in the cabinet, if you..."

Hearing that his wife was still chattering differently on the phone, Chen Li couldn't help but interrupt her and said, "Okay, I know, hang up first." ”

After that, Chen Li was once again immersed in the skills of nuclear carving, and he had maintained this state for about a week.

The olive pit requested by Wang Zhiwei had already been carved, and it was carved by an old man with a smiling face according to the requirements, and it did not take too much time for Chen Li.

However, the feel of this olive pit is addicted to Chen Li, he has not experienced the feeling of being comfortable for a long time, although this olive pit is only a new material, but now Chen Li no longer dares to despise this olive pit, and even he is ready to use this olive pit carving work to participate in the nuclear carving competition held in his country.

According to the manuscript he designed, the olive pit in Chen Li's hand will be made into the appearance of a Buddha statue, and coincidentally, according to Chen Li's observation, this olive pit has left obvious growth lines when it grows, resulting in a darker color on one side than the other.

He modified his design according to this characteristic, making the left half of the Buddha's face look loving, with a slight smile in his eyes, and the other side as if he was glaring angrily, the light and dark tones on both sides of the walnut accentuated this feeling, even under the natural light, the Buddha statue seemed to have different emotions.

With the continuous polishing of the details, Chen Li watched the finished product in his hand be completed little by little, he was a little stupid, such a delicate expression, smart and delicate details, this can be said to be the most satisfying work in history.

A week later, Chen Li held his work and an award certificate on stage, never dreaming that his work "Double-Faced Buddha" would be shortlisted for this year's gold medal.

"Master Chen, I don't know if your award-winning work "Double-Faced Buddha" has any intention of selling, the price is negotiable!"

"This piece means a lot to me, and I have no intention of selling it for the time being. ”

A group of collectors surrounded Chen Li, and after his words, the people around him showed obvious disappointment.

You must know that Master Chen won the championship in one fell swoop in this nuclear carving competition in his country, and he overwhelmed the local carving masters in his country, but I am afraid that this "Double-faced Buddha" can be sold for a sky-high price when it returns to China.

"Master Chen, I would like to ask you to help me carve a nuclear carving process, I don't know when you will be free. ”

"I don't have much time recently, so I won't take orders for the time being, of course, if there is material I like, even if I don't charge money, I'm willing to sell. ”

"Master Chen, your work "Double-Faced Buddha" in this competition seems to be using new materials, I don't know if there is any saying in it?"

"Actually, this is an ordinary olive pit, something I used to practice, but I observed its special growth structure, and all the inspiration came to make it into this "Double-faced Buddha". ”

What Chen Li said is very similar to this, if other people in the industry who have come into contact with Kunyang olive core hear it, they are afraid that they will scold him for being shameless, and the mediocre Kunyang olive core, you really dare to say it!

The news of Chen Li's award has not yet come back from China, and Wang Zhiwei came to Chen Li's studio, ready to come and get his previous customized olive pit bracelet.

"Mr. Wang, my teacher went to his home country to participate in the nuclear carving competition, he asked me to hand over this bracelet to you, and you can also call me the final payment. ”

Wang Zhiwei saw the bracelet handed by Li Chao, and there was a smiling old man with a kind eyebrow sandwiched between the ten round and shiny olive cores, and he took a fancy to it at once, no wonder there is a saying in the literary and entertainment world called eye edge, and this thing seems to be his own.

So Wang Zhiwei happily paid the final payment, and the cost of 10 Li Chao's handmade products was calculated as a package price of 5,000 yuan, plus the one that Chen Li personally did, a total of 9,000 yuan.

As soon as Li Chao's money arrived, he received a call from Chen Li: "Ah Chao, don't take orders in my name at will recently, I won the gold medal of the country this time, and the price of a nuclear eagle will rise to more than 20,000 yuan in the future, as my apprentice, your value will also change, how can you charge about 3,000." And the quality of the olive pits I used this time is good, you ask Boss Wang if there is still stock over there, and ask him to buy a batch of goods, it doesn't matter if the price is a little higher. ”

In their carving line, there is a price for the carving level, but various awards are the source of extra points, just like before going to the country this time, everyone called Chen Li "Master Chen" at most, and when he came back, he brought the trophy and immediately changed the title to "Master Chen", this circle is so realistic.

Wang Zhiyuan was next to Li Chao, and vaguely heard what Chen Li said, Li Chao didn't hide it, and said to Wang Zhiyuan after hanging up the phone: "Boss Wang is lucky, my master won the gold medal in his home country this time, you laymen may not know the value of this award, so let's put it this way, the kung fu of this bracelet on a phone has increased several times, and if you go back and play for two more years, maybe it can be doubled again." By the way, Boss Wang doesn't know if there is any material for this olive pit? My master still wants to ask you to buy a little, and the price is easy to say. ”

"Congratulations to Master Chen, I still have some olive cores on my side, but should we sit down and discuss the specific price?" Wang Zhiyuan didn't expect that he was originally here to spend money, but he sold a batch of olive cores at a high price, not to mention, and in the end, the bracelet carved by this master seemed to be picked up for nothing.

Leaving Chen Li's studio and returning to the car, Wang Zhiyuan looked at the slightly shiny bracelet in his hand and felt quite emotional.

Before, Lao Zhu and the others joked that they could make a lot of money even if they sold straw paper with Kunyang, and at that time they laughed at him for his real sound, and he dared to say anything in order to get the goods.

Now the facts are in front of him, this batch of olives in Kunyang is the best example, the sky-high price of 1200 pounds began to sell, I heard that there is a chef in Chaoshan who feels cheap for 2000 pounds, and then the olives have become a literary play, from a pound to a price, and now the olive core on his wrist just Chen Li's phone said how much is a piece?

Ten 3,000 and 20,000 are a total of 50,000 yuan, how many times has it increased in just half a month?

In the future, follow Kunyang to work hard, are you afraid that you won't be able to make money?

Zhou Kun, who was in the orange orchard, didn't know that this olive pit helped him invisibly recruit a desperate wholesaler.
