"Xiao Fang, huh?"

Old Shi looked at Fang Yi and said, "I've been friends with your unserious teacher for decades, what kind of Shoushan stone do you want, as long as you Uncle Shi and I have it, I will definitely take it out." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Uncle Shi, I want to find a piece of excellent material to carve a seal, for people to celebrate their birthdays, I don't know much about seal stones, Uncle Shi, you recommend it to me." ”

Fang Yi said honestly, although he had heard Yu Xuan explain the four seal stones to himself, Fang Yi had too few physical contacts, and just the materials he had seen along the way just now were not enough for Fang Yi to have a deep understanding of the seal stones, and Fang Yi did not show off his shallow knowledge on the seal stones.

"Old stone, it's better to find a big piece of material. Yu Xuan added next to him.

"Why do you want big ingredients?" the old stone asked a little strangely: "The small material of the seal stone is just right, and it is too wasteful to use the big material, right?"

Although Shoushan stone is listed as one of the four major seal stones, it is not that Shoushan stone can only be used as a seal, on the contrary, because the ore layer of Shoushan stone is thin, the general block degree is only between square inches, and there are very few large pieces of rough stone.

"Small pieces are fine, but take a few extra pieces. Yu Xuan said without hesitation: "I am also about to celebrate my birthday, let Fang Yi engrave a seal for me, it can be regarded as an early birthday gift." ”

"Hey, I said old Yutou, do you still want to be shameless?"

Hearing Yu Xuan's words, Lao Shi's eyes suddenly widened, "If I'm not mistaken, didn't you old boy have your birthday last month? Why is it that you are about to pass your birthday? There is still a year to go, okay?!"

"I had the solar calendar last month, can't I have the lunar calendar this month?"

Yu Xuanyan rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said: "You don't talk nonsense, hurry up and take out the treasure at the bottom of your box, by the way, I remember that you have a piece of material from Shanbo Cave, and you must have brought it over this time, right?"

Yu Xuan said that the Shanbo Cave material, also known as the Shanbo Cave Shoushan Stone, is produced in the Shanbo Cave in the southwest of Yuewei Mountain, and is also called the "Xianba Cave" in the local area.

The characteristics of Shoushan stone in Shanbo Cave are obvious, the texture is crystal clear and oily, the wax is strong, translucent or slightly transparent, rich in luster, there are gold sand spots in the old Shanbo cave stone, and there are pink and white spots in some stones, commonly known as "peanut cake".

"Do you want the material of Shanbodong? Is it your apprentice who carves the seal, or do you carve the seal? You have to make this clear to me. ”

The old stone looked at Yu Xuan suspiciously, because the texture of the Shoushan stone in Shanbo Cave is slightly firm and tough, so it is more difficult to carve the chisel blank, and the particles of the stone powder under the knife are larger when repairing.

The old stone had traded a few pieces of material from Shanbo Cave with Yu Xuan before, and most of the seals carved from those pieces of material had become some private treasured objects, each of which was worth a lot of money, so Lao Shi did not think that the young man in front of him had the ability to carve the Shoushan stone of Shanbo Cave.

The old stone who has played Shoushan Stone all his life, his love for the best Shoushan Stone is deep in the bone marrow, this matter is not clear, the old stone will never sell the best Shoushan Stone to Fang Yi, he would rather not make money, than let people spoil his treasures.

"Of course he came to engrave it. Yu Xuan said with some reluctance: "Old stone, on the craft of seal carving, this kid can pull me a street, the material of Shanbo Cave, he is the most suitable to carve the seal." ”

"Old Yutou, you don't have a fever today, do you?"

Hearing Yu Xuan's words, Lao Shi looked at him in disbelief and said, "Are you saying the opposite, let me tell you, if you want to lift a disciple, it's not this kind of lifting method, be careful to hold the young man too high, it will hurt if you fall to the ground." ”

Although he quarreled with Yu Xuan when he met, the old stone and him were friends for half a lifetime, and he naturally knew Yu Xuan's craftsmanship very well, and he knew that Yu Xuan was a master-level craftsman whether it was in gold and stone seal carving or jade carving, how could he be inferior to the young man in front of him.

"Old stone, although he is my student, he did not follow me to learn gold and stone seal carving. ”

Yu Xuan smiled bitterly when he heard this, the craft of seal carving is to talk about talent, and he can't do this line of work if his hands are unstable, and Fang Yi is hands are unusually calm, and there is no slightest drag in the knife, the first time he saw the seal carved by Fang Yi, Yu Xuan didn't believe that this was a young man's craft at all.

"I don't believe it, you mean, he's better than our teacher back then?"

Lao Shi shook his head, their teacher came out of the old society, in the thirties and forties was a famous Jinshi family, after the liberation, he was rated as a master of art and craft in the first batch, and now Yu Xuan already has the success of the teacher, if he is far inferior to Fang Yi, then their teacher is afraid that it is not as good as Fang Yi.

"Well, this kid's carving is unmatched. Yu Xuan nodded seriously and said, "Old stone, you have a carving tool here, right? If you don't believe it, let him give you a live performance." ”

To be honest, watching Fang Yi carve things, that kind of flowing action, will give people a feeling of enjoyment, Yu Xuan has not seen Fang Yi move the knife for a long time, and he also wants to see if Fang Yi's craftsmanship has improved this year.

"What kind of carving knife do you want?" said the old stone, "the flat-bottomed sharp knife, the straight knife for hand, or the spiral milling knife for the machine, or the three-dimensional shaped knife?"

"Teacher, there are so many people, is it appropriate?"

Yu Xuan himself is a big man in the jade industry, coupled with the old stone, a figure who calls for wind and rain in the Shoushan stone industry, there are already a lot of people gathered next to him at this time, looking at the onlookers around him, Fang Yi is a little hesitant.

"Suitable, what's inappropriate?!" Yu Xuan said with a smile: "We are craftsmen, craftsmen eat with their skills, there is nothing to be ashamed of, don't you say?"

"Yes, what Mr. Yu said!"

"The craftsman has no skills, so what is it called!"

"Teacher Yu, just let your senior apprentice show us a hand. ”

Hearing Yu Xuan's words, the people next to him suddenly began to coax, the most important thing that the Chinese people lacked was the spirit of watching the excitement, and when they heard that someone was going to show a seal carving, the people who were originally scattered in the venue suddenly gathered here.

"Huh, Xiaofang, why are you here? ”

With a loud voice, Qin Haichuan walked out of the crowd, and behind him was followed by Li Jingyang, who Fang Yi knew, and when he saw Hua Ziyi standing behind Fang Yi, Qin Haichuan suddenly said: "Ziyi, Xiao Fang has come to the capital, why don't you tell me?"

"Teacher, I only found out last night. Hua Ziyi smiled bitterly when he heard this.

In the eyes of outsiders, Hua Ziyi can be regarded as a young and successful person, and he learned the ability to identify and restore cultural relics from Qin Haichuan, but Hua Ziyi himself knew that in the teacher's heart, he and Fang Yi were not comparable at all, if you had to compare, Fang Yi would be compared to a genius, then he would be an out-and-out mediocre talent.

"Then you should tell me about it. Qin Haichuan waved his hand dissatisfiedly and said, "Xiao Fang, do you want to carve an object on the spot?"

"Old Qin, I, Teacher Yu, am chasing ducks to the shelves. Fang Yi smiled bitterly when he heard this, he has always been low-key, performing in front of so many people, Fang Yi was really full of reluctance.

"Fang Yi, your Teacher Yu will not harm you, if he asks you to perform, you can perform one. Li Jingyang, who was beside Qin Haichuan, laughed, both experts in the identification of antiques and miscellaneous items, Li Jingyang and Yu Xuan were also old friends for many years, and they knew what Yu Xuan had in mind.

Li Jingyang knows very well that in the two professions of jade carving and gold and stone, if he only has craftsmanship or ability and does not promote himself, he is destined to be a craftsman in his life.

Yu Xuan's move was to let Fang Yi promote himself, coupled with the help of these old men, Fang Yi's reputation would definitely go to the next level, Yu Xuan not only wanted to help Fang Yi on the horse, but also to give him a ride.

"Fang Yi?" Li Jingyang heard Fang Yi's address in the ears of the onlookers.

"Is it Fang Yi who has been on fire recently?"

"I heard that Fang Yi is indeed a student of Teacher Yu. ”

"That's right, it should be this Fang Yi, the price of his jade carving works has increased several times a year. ”

Fang Yi is also quite famous in the jade shop, but the people who participated in his apprenticeship banquet were all people of the same generation as Yu Xuan, but few of these jade merchants present had seen it, and it was not until Li Jingyang called out Fang Yi's name that everyone was right.

"Mr. Fang, I am the manager of Yusheng Qisheng Arts and Crafts Company, and it is a pleasure to meet you. ”

"Mr. Fang, I am from Guangdong Xinda Arts and Crafts Company, can you leave a contact information?"

"Teacher Fang, I'm ......"

After knowing Fang Yi's identity, the scene in the venue suddenly became a little chaotic, for these businessmen present, Fang Yi's works were equivalent to increasing money, and everyone wanted to get in touch with Fang Yi to buy a few of his works.

"Guys, guys, it's nice to meet you, and listen to me. ”

Seeing that the scene was a little chaotic, and those people even almost squeezed a few teachers aside, Fang Yi suddenly frowned and said, "My work has been signed to others, if you want it, contact Manager Wei, and I will tell you his mobile phone number." ”

Although Fang Yi has decided to withdraw his shares from the antique shop, in addition to the works he gave away, all of Fang Yi's jade carving works will still be sold from that antique shop.

There were at least twenty or thirty merchants present, and when they heard Fang Yi report the fat man's phone number, almost everyone took out their mobile phones and remembered it, although they couldn't get the first-hand supply, but in today's skyrocketing prices of Fang Yi's works, even if it is a second-hand source of goods and then to the hands of customers at the sales terminal, they can also earn a lot of money.

With Fang Yi's promise, the people around immediately dispersed, and formed an arc around the place centered on Fang Yi, as the saying goes, it is better to see than to hear, they all know that Fang Yi's works are valuable, but there are not many opportunities to see Fang Yi's carved objects with their own eyes.

"Xiao Fang, your craftsmanship is really better than Lao Yutou?" Until this moment, Lao Shi still couldn't believe it.

"Uncle Shi, since the teacher said it, I'll carve something out here. Fang Yi smiled bitterly when he heard this, sometimes the more he wanted to be a low-key person, the more he was forced to be high-profile.

"Professor Zhang, see if you can change the garage door here, the alley here is wide enough, and cars can drive in directly. ”

At this time, the fat man Sanpao and the Manchu army who came to see the excitement were following Professor Zhang and Director Li Boss Zhao and others to survey the courtyard on the spot, he pointed to the direction of the back door and asked Zhang Weichen, which is located at the mouth of the alley, which has natural convenience, and it will be much more convenient to repair a garage to travel.

"Xiao Wei, right?"

"Just call me fat. ”

"It's still Xiao Wei. Zhang Weichen was a little unaccustomed to this kind of title, "I used to want to change a garage here, but it is not allowed above, I don't care about this matter, you have to ask Director Li." ”

It is not easy to reconstruct ancient buildings, without the approval of Director Li and their department, it may be illegal to move a brick on the appearance, of course, Director Li They can't manage it so meticulously, as long as the people don't sue it, the officials will not be prosecuted.

However, the appearance of the garage has changed a lot, and it may affect the surrounding neighbors, so Zhang Weichen has declared it before, but the report has been rejected within three days, and the answer is naturally "not approved".

"This thing is not okay in principle, but modern society must also keep pace with the times, Xiao Wei, you can make a report, and we will study it." ”

The fat man told Director Li the meaning of rebuilding the garage, Director Li first made an official tone, and then asked the fat man to make a report noncommittally.

said that it was a field survey, but Director Li just asked his subordinates to take some pictures, and the fat man secretly took a look, and those photos were taken in some irrelevant places, such as staying in the garage and being omitted intentionally or unintentionally.

Director Li's favor is also sold enough, leaving a lot of space for Fang Yi to renovate this set of yards, but the specific renovation plan still requires Boss Zhao to go back and produce detailed drawings, which is not something that can be done in a while.

The fat man was busy here, the phone suddenly rang, and when he picked it up, he listened to it, what kind of handicraft store manager, he opened his mouth to buy Yi's jade carving works, the fat man inexplicably perfunctory a few words just hung up, and another phone call came in.

For a full ten minutes, the fat man was so busy that he didn't even have a chance to call Fang Yi to ask what was going on, one after another almost didn't blow up his mobile phone, and finally the fat man had to take the phone three times before he figured out the ins and outs of the matter.
