Chapter 272: Live Performance
"If a person's knife work has a strong personal style, or to put it simply, his knife skills have their own characteristics, which are different from everyone's, then such jadeite works undoubtedly have a high market value and collection value. Xu Zhiguo swore and said, and deliberately shook the jade Guanyin pendant in his hand, "Let's just say this jade pendant, if it is from the specific details, it is really a little, a little unsatisfactory, it can be clearly seen that the carver himself is not very familiar with the craftsmanship of jade carving." However, in terms of its knife technique, it is really enviably tight. At least, I've grown this big and haven't seen anything like it yet. …… By the way, boss, this thing must have really been carved by you, right?"
"What do you say?" Jia Rudao was speechless in his heart, but he was still quite satisfied with Xu Zhiguo's previous evaluation of this jade pendant. Moreover, what Xu Zhiguo said is also reasonable. This kind of carving method is really rare, even a novice in jade carving like Jia Nidao who is not very knowledgeable, can also see the special features of this jade Guanyin pendant!
Let's not talk about it for the time being, how much artistic level can Jia Rudao carve with the skills at hand now.
With such carving techniques, Jia Rudao has undoubtedly stood on a commanding height!
Xu is usually used to seeing Jia Nidao's big grin, at this moment, suddenly, seeing Jia Nidao say something with a serious face, Xu Zhiguo was quite unaccustomed to hearing this, and even when he spoke, he also felt slightly intermittent: "That, that boss, this thing, you really made it?...... It seems, yes, in terms of the performance of the Jade Guanyin statue, it's really a bit like the boss's craftsmanship. But, boss, you're learning too fast. And, how did you carve it?"
In the end, Xu Zhiguo looked at Jia Yidao's eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little hot.
"I don't know how to carve it. Jia Rudao rolled his eyes widely, it can't be said that he has a sense of ability, right?" Actually, I think I'm still not satisfied with this jadeite work. ”
"Not satisfied?" Xu Zhiguo said in surprise, "Since boss, you are not very satisfied with this thing, why don't you give it to me for collection, how about it?"
"That won't work. Hearing Xu Zhiguo talk about collecting, Jia Rudao's heart moved, and he said, "Anyway, this is also a jadeite work I made, and I am still ready to collect it." ”
"Then it can't be helped. Xu Zhiguo smiled wryly, handed back the Guanyin pendant in his hand to Jia Yidao, and said, "But, boss, next time, can you carve out a jade ornament for me to collect?"
"Next time?" Jia Rudao's mouth smiled slightly, and he couldn't help but say, "Why wait until next time?"
"What do you mean, boss?" asked Xu Zhiguo suspiciously.
"Just carve one now. Jia Rudao said, "Anyway, I don't have anything to do at this time, so naturally I can carve one in front of your eyes, I can't say, I still need you, the master, to give me good guidance." Saying that, Jia Rudao didn't care about Xu Zhiguo's mouth wide open, and he didn't know how to close it for a while, so he chose a piece of jadeite material from the edge of the factory that was originally used to carve ordinary jade pendants for Xu Zhiguo.
I put it on my hand and checked it, and it felt pretty good.
In terms of its quality, it is naturally a little smaller than last night's piece. It is generally the same size as those small jade pendants circulating in the market. And the texture of the jadeite material is also slightly different from last night's piece. The original carved piece belongs to the ice species. At present, this piece of material belongs to the ice bean species.
Speaking of which, Jia Rudao also wanted to feel what kind of difference there would be between the jade of this ice bean seed and the ice seed in the carving process under the perception of the ability.
"By the way, Xiao Xu, where's your carving knife? Of course, on the side of the factory, Jia Rudao himself also has a set of carving knives for learning carving, but in any case, there should be a big gap between its quality and that used by Xu Zhiguo, right?
Sure enough, with Xu Zhiguo's curiosity and expectation, he took his carving knife and handed it over. After Jia Rudao held it in his hand and prepared for a new round of carving, the feeling of carving knife in his mind was much sharper than when he used it last night.
Jia Rudao's heart moved slightly, and he secretly wondered that he might also be able to get a decent set of carved guys.
"Boss, are you going to start carving?" Xu Zhiguo looked at Jia Yidao's actions and muttered in his heart, "Don't you need to take a look at the general situation of the jade material first?"
"This, of course, needs to be seen. Jia seemed to smile and looked at his current appearance, his left hand was fixed with the jade material, and his right hand was holding a carving knife, clinging to the jade material. However, from the perspective of a normal person, it is really a bit premature for Jia Yidao to start carving like this. After all, it was only a moment from the time he picked up the jade material to the time he took over Xu Zhiguo's carving knife.
So, Jia Rudao immediately added, saying: "I don't want to compare it first to see if this carving knife is handy." ”
"No wonder. Xu Zhiguo nodded.
Jia Rudao immediately gestured at the carving knife in his right hand, and then began to seriously check the jade material in his hand. Faintly revealed that there is a green place, not very uniform, most of the parts, are still colorless jadeite, but as far as the whole piece of material is concerned, it is more suitable to carve into a Maitreya Buddha, because, in the middle part of the jadeite, some slightly protruding, just like the Maitreya Buddha's belly.
Xu Zhiguo looked at such a piece of jadeite material, and also agreed with Jia Yidao's judgment, and said: "Boss, if this piece of material is carved into other forms, it is really not so easy, and it is not easy to ensure the maximum use of jadeite raw materials." ”
In the eyes of a carving master like Xu Zhiguo, even a small piece of jadeite material is also a gift from nature, and it needs to be used as much as possible in jadeite ornaments, rather than throwing it away at will!
"Then carve it into Maitreya Buddha. Jia Rudao nodded, but then he said, "That, Xiao Xu, are you looking for a ready-made Maitreya Buddha first, let me refer to it." Otherwise, I'm not good at going under the knife. This can be regarded as the gap between a beginner like Jia Rudao and a veteran like Xu Zhiguo.
Xu Zhiguo was happy when he heard this, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and he easily took out a jade pendant from his pocket, which was the shape of Maitreya Buddha. Jia Yidao raised his eyes and looked over, there were still a few traces on it that had not been repaired, and he couldn't help muttering: "This shouldn't have been carved by you, right?"
"That's natural. Xu Zhiguo replied: "Otherwise, do you think that so early in the morning, there are ready-made jade pendants in this factory for your reference?"
Thinking of Uncle Zhou Fugui, every day will carve the carved jade works, all received "Zhou Ji" there, Jia Rudao was relieved, and then looked at the jade pendant carved by Xu Zhiguo, among which the face of Maitreya Buddha, the expression is the most obvious, happy, at a glance, you know that it is a kind and kind smile. As for its more obvious features, the belly part of Maitreya Buddha is outlined with only a few strokes.
"By the way, boss, I have to warn you. The Maitreya shape carved out of me, although it is also Maitreya Buddha, is still different from the shape of the jadeite material in your hand. Xu Zhiguo tapped his finger and said, "It's like the leg and foot part under this." On my side, because the material is relatively narrow and long, I put a little effort into carving the lower body part. However, your piece of material is relatively short, so the shape of this pair of feet, coiled up, and the processing of this piece in front of you cannot be the same. ”
Subsequently, Xu Zhiguo also said some other precautions to Jia Nidao, and Jia Nidao began his own carving.
Fortunately, the ability perception of Jia Nidao's left hand is silent, and it is completely reflected in Jia Nidao's mind, and the movements in his hand, as long as he follows the scene in his mind and operates, even if Xu Zhiguo stands by Jia Nidao's side, he will not notice anything abnormal.
In particular, Jia Yidao's concentrated demeanor was originally the easiest place to make people suspicious. Xu Zhiguo glanced at Jia Nidao's expression, and at most, he would only think that Jia Nidao was staring at the carving action in his hand.
However, Jia Rudao didn't carve a few times here, but Xu Zhiguo's heart was flooded with turbulent waves.
First, Jia Nidao's carving technique is indeed very ordinary, and it is exactly what Xu Zhiguo told Jia Nidao in the past two days, and even the actions made by Jia Nidao now are not much different from when he carved yesterday afternoon. Whether it is in the light and heavy rotation, or in the speed of the degree, Jia Yidao's right hand, while being cautious, has never been out of the scope of Xu Zhiguo's knowledge.
Second, the form of Maitreya Buddha carved by Jia Rudao is also carved completely according to the prototype provided by Xu Zhiguo, only in the place where Xu Zhiguo has warned in advance, there are a few slight changes. Of course, for these changes, Jia Rudao has not done a good job. At least, the smiles on Maitreya Buddha's face, in Xu Zhiguo's opinion, the expression carved by Jia Rudao seems a little false.
Of course, this is also entirely caused by Jia Rudao's beginner jadeite carving. You can't expect Jia Rudao to be able to go out smoothly just after carving three or five pieces of jade jewelry, right?
However, Xu Zhiguo also paid attention to the details. That is, when Jia Nidao was carving, during the whole process, the knife in his right hand never left the jade material, so Xu Zhiguo somewhat understood the effect of the jade pendant carved by Jia Rudao, why does it look like the craftsmanship is a little rusty, but the lines are somewhat coherent and natural.
Even in terms of knife skills, it gives people a feeling that is extraordinarily chic.
Subconsciously, Xu Zhiguo picked up a piece of jadeite material from the side, learned the appearance of Jia Nidao, and carved it according to Jia Nidao's technique. However, within three or two cuts, Xu Zhiguo frowned. Subsequently, he compared the local effect carved by himself with the jade pendant in Jia Rudao's hand, and the gap between it was not one or two points, which can be said clearly.
Could it be that the craftsmanship of a master is not comparable to that of a beginner apprentice?
Xu Zhiguo was secretly surprised in his heart, and he was even more concerned about the movements in Jia Rudao's hands. It's just that, in addition to the simple carving techniques, Xu Zhiguo is really hard to see, and there is something in this that he doesn't see.
I want to ask Jia Nidao, seeing that the other party is working hard to carve, it feels like he is doing it in one go, Xu Zhiguo handed the words to his throat several times, and in the end, he didn't disturb Jia Nidao's carving.
And Jia Rudao, because it was a time to show his carving technique in front of people, and in the case of using his own ability perception, naturally he would not be as unsuspecting as he was in the basement of the villa last night. At the beginning, he was carving, and then, he stopped, let himself out of the environment of his ability perception, and paid attention to Xu Zhiguo's movements, and after seeing that there was no big problem, he continued to carve himself.
is so intermittent, but the movements of the hands are not slow.
Just as Xu Zhiguo looked depressed, shaking his head and sighing while looking at Jia Nidao's carving, the carving knife in Jia Rudao's right hand had already been replaced one after another, and after that, he suddenly stopped, glanced at Xu Zhiguo meaningfully, and said, "Xiao Xu, at this point, it should be about the same, right?"
"yes, that's almost. Xu Zhiguo nodded and said, "But, why is there such a big gap between me and you to learn carving?"
Jia Rudao looked at it slightly, and couldn't help laughing. "Flutter" and laughed.
