Strange wood.

In short, it is the whimsical shape of wood that has been nurtured by nature.

And buying Qimu is also a bit of a gambling nature.

A piece of wood, until you saw it, you never know if it's a beautiful growth ring, or a hollow dead material.

Good things come by, it's all about luck.

Sometimes, the carpenter encounters a strange wood, the modeling creativity is all designed, and he excitedly saws it, but the result is a hollow inside.

In just an instant, a high-grade strange tree was declared scrapped.

This kind of pain is tantamount to smashing the heavenly artifact to the ground on the spot, which is heart-wrenching and heartbreaking.

Although he will accidentally step on a mine and scrap a piece of strange wood, the carpenter is also helpless about it, and he is both painful and happy.

After all, Qimu itself is the product of the Creator's joke, and human beings can only gamble with their destiny.

Since Qin Huai decided to play Qimu, he was ready.

He stepped into the lumber shop calmly.

The shopkeeper was unkempt and unkempt, sitting at the counter at the door of the shop, and the computer screen showed that he was fighting the landlord.

Seeing that a guest was coming, he put down his entertainment, stepped on his slippers and walked out, speaking a very pure Jinling Yayin.

"What type of wood does the gentleman want to buy?"

"Let's see. ”

Qin Huai walked directly into the hall, and there was a ring-shaped glass table against the wall in the huge living room, on which were placed a dazzling array of tree roots, tree stumps, and ghost claw cypresses.

The counters are rich in wood, hardwoods and softwoods from the north and south.

"Wood carving. ”

Horizontal comparison of jade carving, stone carving, and nuclear carving...... Actually, wood carving is quite easy.

However, it is easy to get started, but it is difficult to get started, and it is even more difficult to remember the wood carving work.

After all, wood carving is also a long-standing craft, from its birth to the present, has developed three categories: architectural wood carving, furniture wood carving, and wood carving handicrafts.

Whether it is carved beams and painted buildings, carved lintels, roof rafters, panes, railings of the building wood carving.

It is also a wood carving of furniture such as a table, a stool, a table, a chair, a couch, a table, a desk, and a screen.

It is also a wooden palace lamp, floor lamp, woodcut screen, mirror frame, pen holder, pen holder, and mirror frame of wood carving handicrafts.

The ancients had great achievements.

The ancients of the Chinese family are unmatched by any nation in terms of extravagance.

If you don't believe it, you can just take a piece of art.

It's bound to have a smaller piece of art to go with it, and there will be a smaller one to go with it.

And in wood carving, this extravagance is vividly reflected.

Under the carved beams and paintings, there must be a table scene, and next to the table scene, there must be small ornaments.

There are more small ornaments, which may be porcelain, jade, agate, or wood carving mixed with jade.

Like the golden silk nanmu wedding certificate ornament, it is actually a display wood carving handicraft with a special meaning.

However, the furniture in Qin Huai's home, except for the screen carved too late Zhong Qianli Songtao, the other furnishings are all in a minimalist style.

Whether it is a flower table or a chess case, they all pay attention to the beauty of geometric lines.

The wood is graceful and charming, with the body of a plump beauty or a majestic cheetah.

or feminine, or masculine, the whole interior, yin and yang are harmonized, dignified and interesting.

It is in line with Qin Huai's philosophy: truly beautiful works are either simple or extremely painstaking.

Furniture is an item in life, and it should be kept simple.

And when you really play Qimu, you have to work hard.

However, there are many famous wood carving holy places in China.

Immortal... Tour, East... Yang, music... Clear, spring... State......

In these sacred places of wood carving, all kinds of masters emerge in an endless stream.

The old carpenters will not be less than 40 years old in practicing the basic skills.

And the muscle memory given to Qin Huai by the system is almost only thirty years.

In other words, when competing in technology, Qin Huai is even inferior.

The system sensed the coming black cauldron blow, and hurriedly showed a line: [Are you going to dump the pot for me?]

'No, thirty years is more than enough. When art is played at the top level, it basically depends on talent.

Michelangelo was only twenty-three years old when he became famous in Rome. Does he have time to train in the basics for thirty years?'

Qin Huai's face was full of confidence, it was impossible to shake the pot.

'In the art world, artistic talent occupies the commanding heights.

Even if the technology is ahead, it can't be. A few hundred years after the Industrial Revolution, technology exploded in two hundred years.

Today, our science and technology are not the same as they were hundreds of years ago.

But our painters are still not as good as Leonardo da Vinci.

Our calligraphers are still not as good as Wang Xizhi's writing.

Our writers are still not as good as Cao Xueqin's editorial.

To be gifted is to be able to do whatever you want. And my talent ...... You saw it too. ’

Qin Huai communicated with the system in his heart, and his words were full of confidence.

The system was silent for a long time before a line appeared: [You have changed, you are no longer the host who can be fooled by me, you have actually begun to fool me.] ]

Qin Huai smiled.

There is reincarnation in the way of heaven, who does the sky forgive?

'By the way, can you make an atomic probe probe, I want to try it with high-tech engraving......

System: [Farewell!]

Qin Huai: "......"

In the process of communicating with the system, Qin Huai had already browsed all the woods.

I'm not satisfied!

The timber is lackluster.

"Shopkeeper, that's all this wood for furnishings?"

Qin Huai turned around and asked, a huge log shop will not be able to find a satisfactory piece of strange wood.

"Did the gentleman really buy wood?"

The shopkeeper asked suspiciously, Qin Huai is too raw, and the woodmaker who has just entered the industry should not buy strange wood, after all, it is difficult to play, so he is a little suspicious.

"Of course I buy it!"

Qin Huai was categorical.

"We have a basement, so please come with me. ”

The shopkeeper shook his head suspiciously and led Qin Huai to the back room.

Walking down the small gentle slope to the basement, Qin Huai first smelled the light wood fragrance in the dark and cold environment.

It's a bit of a smell of baby milk, which is very interesting.

Later, Qin Huai saw the eye-catching fluorescent words pasted on the wall.

"Please refrain from touching it. ”

Finally, when he saw the wood hidden in the shadows, Qin Huai's eyes lit up, and he bent over and moved small steps to observe.

"Boxwood. ”

Qin Huai took a breath lightly, the aroma of boxwood is very light and light, elegant and not vulgar, it can be described as a fragrance.

After taking a sip, Qin Huai's mood also became leisurely, with his hands behind his back, he bent over, slowly moved his steps, and carefully observed the wood grain on the wood.

The magnificent natural gift of wood grain is worth savoring.

Qin Huai's expression was very serious, and his facial features seemed to have a faint light.

The shopkeepers are all infected.

"In recent years, boxwood carvings have been in short supply, but boxwood has become increasingly scarce. The boxwood I have here is also an old commodity from northern Hubei that was stored a few years ago. ”

The shopkeeper was quite proud.

Hearing this, Qin Huai smiled.

Boxwood is indeed quite rare, growing for forty or fifty years, and its diameter is only fifteen centimeters.

Li Yu once recorded in "Idle Love": boxwood is one inch per year, not overflowing, and shrinking by one inch in leap years, which is the destiny of heaven.

Su Shi also has a poem: "There are countless springs of grass and trees in the garden, and there is only a leap year of boxwood." ”

Of course, it is superstitious that boxwood shrinks by an inch every leap year, but it is an objective fact that boxwood is difficult to grow.

Because it grows very slowly, the wood is extremely dense and has a delicate texture comparable to ivory.

However, slow growth also has drawbacks. That is, boxwood can only be carved into fine small pieces.

Occasionally, hundreds of years of excellent wood will inevitably produce high-quality boxwood carving!

But now, don't think about centuries-old boxwood. The state will not allow logging.

……

"I'll do all of that. ”

Qin Huai clicked a few times with his hand and took out all the good boxwood materials.

Then, under the stunned gaze of the shopkeeper, he turned around and continued to search.

Rosewood, rosewood, nanmu, sandalwood, when you meet a satisfactory one, the wrist is lightly raised, that is, buy, buy, buy, buy.

Ten minutes later, Qin Huai moved nearly one-third of the inventory in the store without blinking an eye.

The owner of the store was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth, and the business done in just ten minutes was probably half a month's turnover of the store.
