"Hello, sir, it wasn't that I was deliberately offended, but I can't believe that you have such a high level of carving art at such a young age, and I beg your pardon for my shallowness. ”

The man immediately apologized to Lin Yue, he saw that Zhou Lao said so surely, and Lin Yue was so calm, he also had a little belief in his heart.

Hearing the man's words, Lin Yue couldn't help but sigh in his heart at the other party's tutor, who could still have angry thoughts after these words.

If the other party directly asks him for money, then he has to consider whether this favor is to help, carving is an art, art can make money, but it must not succumb to money. It's sad to think about making money and learning something. But the other party didn't ask for money, but showed a very humble appearance, and then Lin Yue was a little moved.

The simple situation Lin Yue has already understood this morning, the other party is filial, he should fulfill the other party, considering Zhou Lao's face, he has no exit, and what Zhou Lao meant just now is undoubtedly to let him help with this, so that there will be no chance to take care of Zhou Lao's face, then he can help with this favor.

A pair of wood carvings of Fu Lu Shou birthday wishes, Lin Yue is still confident that he can complete it in two days.

"You're welcome, you're too humble. ”

"You forgive me, thank you so much, my grandfather likes wood carving very much, he is not in good health, I want to send a pair of wood carvings of Fu Lu Shou to please his old man's like, and also bless his old man's health Kangtai, the day after tomorrow is his old man's birthday, so you can't help me, Zhou Lao said no one can do it except you, please! You don't need to think about money, I will definitely give you a satisfactory remuneration, please!"

The man said very sincerely, and with his expression, even the most hard-hearted person would probably be soft-hearted.

Lin Yue didn't rush to agree, he wanted to see what kind of carving it was, and he didn't know the situation so he rashly agreed that it was not his style, if he agreed and couldn't do it, it would be a bit of a trick on others.

"Can you first tell us what kind of picture you want to engrave, what kind of scale, what kind of figure?

Lin Yue asked.

"Wait!"

The man immediately ran out, and Lin Yue didn't refuse, giving him a glimmer of hope.

Not long after, the man and his driver walked in carrying a large piece of wood.

Seeing this, Lin Yue hurriedly stepped forward to help, and walked into Lin Yue only to observe the size of the wood in front of him, which was definitely cut from a big tree that was not very old, it was a plate-like wood, about one meter and a half long, one meter wide, and about fifteen centimeters thick.

After carefully observing the wood, Lin Yue immediately determined that the wood in front of him was African rosewood, which belonged to the second class of wood carving. The first class is Huanghuali, red sandalwood, both of which are basically extinct, Hainan has Huanghuali, the diameter grows into four or five centimeters thick for hundreds of years, you can imagine the degree of preciousness, as for the furniture made of Huanghuali wood has become a collection. The second class is black sour branch, ebony wood, and African rosewood, although it is also more precious, but it is not extinct. It was the first time Lin Yue had seen such a large African rosewood in front of him, and it would cost millions to say the least.

It can be seen that the man's family background in front of him must be very good, and he is also very filial, I don't know how much effort was wasted to get such a large piece of wood, not only that, but this piece of wood is cut just right, and it is definitely guided by professionals.

A few people put the wood away, Zhou looked at it, and his mouth was also smacking, he had never seen such African rosewood.

While everyone was inspecting the wood, the man went out to the car outside and took out a scroll of ancient paintings.

Immediately after opening, a picture of "Fu Lu Shou three-star birthday picture" appeared, and the faces of the three gods of Fu Lu Shou were full and very happy, which made people appreciate the new love at a glance and be full of joy. Not only that, but the three gods also have a trace of dust on their bodies, and this painting can be seen at a glance by the hands of famous artists.

"Can you carve it according to the demeanor and demeanor of the three stars of Fu Lu Shou on this painting?"

The man looked at Lin Yue with burning eyes, but he also knew that the requirements were a bit excessive, because painting and wood carving were different, and the flat painting could arbitrarily express the demeanor of the character, after all, it was two-dimensional, but the carving was three-dimensional, focusing on more aspects, it was good to be able to carve the image, and the carving seemed to be a bit too demanding.

Although Lin Yue didn't know how to appreciate the paintings, he could feel them with his heart. When he saw the painting in front of him, he suddenly had the demeanor of the three gods and the image he wanted to express. If he didn't have this painting, he would never have sketched the image of Fu Lu Shou Samsung in his heart so quickly, but with this painting, it was different, and it immediately gave him a direction, and he could naturally associate many things along this direction.

However, what Lin Yue formed in his mind was his own feeling, not exactly the same as on this painting, each carver has his own style, and if he imitates others, he will fall into the lower class, and the carver who is strict with himself will never allow himself to do so.

"Yes, but it can't be exactly the same. ”

Lin Yue said with a slight groan.

The man thought that Lin Yue was loving modesty, so he was overjoyed in his heart, and said: "Thank you, I really don't know how to thank you, this work will be needed the morning after tomorrow, I don't know if you can really complete it, it's not that I doubt your strength, but I don't want to be disappointed because I have too much hope in the end, I have been disappointed many times, so please forgive me for my straightforwardness." ”

Lin Yue didn't say anything, and said the word "can", which showed his strong confidence.

Hearing Lin Yue's words, and then looking at Lin Yue's very affirmative look, the man immediately breathed a sigh of relief, immediately took out the check, signed it quickly, and handed it to Lin Yue: "This is a deposit, please accept it." ”

Deposit?

Lin Yue was slightly stunned, this was the first time he made money with carving, and he was slightly excited in his heart, and soon he reacted and took the check, although it was a help, but it could not be helped for free, if it was a financial difficulty, he would help, and there would be absolutely no complaints, but what was in front of him was a very wealthy person, so he naturally had to accept a sum of money. When he saw the numbers on it, he couldn't help but be stunned again.

Million?!

A deposit of 1 million?

Is it really that expensive to engrave a piece?

Lin Yue has been practicing ancient carving, if he is asked to tell the price of a piece of porcelain or a piece of jadeite, he will definitely open his mouth, but if you ask him to say the value of the carving, he will be a little difficult. He didn't expect that the opinion carving works were worth so much money, he was originally hundreds of thousands of dollars in one dimension, and the other party actually paid a million for the deposit alone.
