Chapter 333: Zodiac Signs (Supplement 1.14)
When he heard "purple eyes, women's hearts", Jia Rudao's mind naturally came up with the idea that using these jade materials in front of him to carve jade jewelry and give them to girls can more easily touch the hearts of girls.
Then, there was Xu Zhiguo's smiling explanation, and for a while, not only Jia Yidao, but also several other people, including Lao Li, who had a wife, looked at the 13 pieces of jade material on the table at this time, and couldn't help but have a special look!
"Boss, what are you going to do with these pieces of jadeite material?" Xu Zhiguo asked curiously, "Is it true that all of them are not carved, and they are directly placed in the jadeite shop, so that customers can just look at them?" If this is the case, it is really a bit of a waste." From Xu Zhiguo's words, it is not difficult to hear that if you just want to display it in the jade store without carving, only one is enough, and such 13 pieces of jadeite material are undoubtedly a bit too much to put out at one time.
"What do you mean?" Jia Rudao smiled and asked.
Whether it is what Jia Yidao has always thought, what kind of name do these purple jade materials in front of him have, whether it is "spring eyes" or "purple eyes", if you don't carve like this, it's not impossible, but it seems too casual. If Jia Yidao's jadeite shop is used to sell jadeite rough stones, you can really consider it.
"In my opinion, it's going to be carved. Xu Zhiguo said with some smugness, "If not, what else do you want us jade carvers to do?"
"yes, yes. The young carver on the side echoed the same. A master carver can only see the value of their existence from the carved jadeite works. Especially this kind of superb jadeite material, anyone who encounters it will be treated specially.
"If you want to carve it out, you can do it. Jia Rudao said, "However, you have also seen that these jadeite materials, such a small size, can be carved into what form?" If it is a general form, such as temporarily starting from the form of the jadeite material, more like a brooch and eyes, and carving it into a brooch and eyes, then there is no need to carve it at all, and it is placed directly, and others can see it at a glance.
This is also the reason why Jia Yidao heard someone say that it was placed so naturally in the first year of junior high school, and he would subconsciously shout "good". Who made the form of these "purple eyes" so realistic? What's more, in such a realistic form, these purple jadeites scattered with bewitching magic still have a unique charm. It seems that once someone's eyes are fixed on it, they can't take their eyes off it!
"In my opinion, it would be good to selectively carve a few of them that are more ordinary in form. Lao Li thought about it for a moment and said, "As for the others, they are very pictographic in form, so they are placed directly, which is also perfect." ”
"You're talking lightly. Jia Rudao said with disgust. However, it is undeniable that Lao Li's idea is also very referential. After all, on the one hand, it takes care of the emotions of all the carving masters and can participate in the carving process with their own hands, and on the other hand, it also allows these purple jadeite materials to fully display their characteristics. Even, it can take into account the idea that Jia Rudao agreed before, and put these jadeite materials directly without carving, which is really a triple win.
"Boss, I think that these jade materials in front of me are very rare. Since it has finally appeared, shouldn't we spend more effort to design them and carve them into a group of jadeite ornaments?" a young carver on the side said, "These pieces of jadeite material are relatively small, but they can also be carved by skilled craftsmen." ”
"I agree with that. Xu Zhiguo said, "However, if you really want to carve and polish these 'purple eyes', to be honest, I can't bear to do it......" Speaking of this, Xu Zhiguo paused, looked at a few people on the side, and then continued, "Looking at them, it's like seeing other people's eyes, how can I still have the heart to carve." ”
"Hehe, it's because you have such a psychology that you need to test you with these superb jade materials. Lao Li joked with a smile. "You know, it's a very precious material. When you start, you will definitely be cautious, and your mental power is very concentrated. In this way, you can overcome the mentality that you can't bear to carve the best jadeite material. Perhaps, after you carve a piece of work, your craftsmanship will improve greatly. ”
"Hehe, that's a good idea. Jia Rudao smiled playfully at the corner of his mouth and said, "It's very debatable." ”
"Boss, I think, you better spare me. Xu Zhiguo squeezed out a bitter gourd face and said, "I think about it, I haven't carved such a spiritual jade material!" After speaking, Xu Zhiguo also spread his hands, indicating that he was telling the truth.
"Speaking of the spirituality on this jade material, I do see that among these pieces of jade material, in addition to the look at it, there is a feeling of water spirit. In its form, it also has a lot of spirituality. ”
Lao Li's face was a little solemn, and he said, "Boss, I'm wondering, should we separate them and look at them, and then study them one by one, what kind of jewelry should be carved into what kind of jewelry?"
"However, these jadeite materials are relatively small after all, and I think most of the carved jadeite jewelry should also be based on small gadgets such as brooches and ring faces, right?" Xu Zhiguo said on the side.
"Well, that's fine. Jia Rudao nodded. As for whether it is carved into a brooch or something, as long as the material of the jadeite is suitable, everyone's design is more distinctive, and Jia Yidao will naturally not disagree. "I think that's it. Let's take a look at this piece, the smallest one, what can be carved into it. ”
As he spoke, Jia Rudao put away the other twelve pieces of jade material on the table. Suddenly, the entire desktop seemed to have lost a lot of color because of Jia Yidao's movements. The rich purple full of charm also dimmed in such an instant.
Fortunately, on the entire desktop, there is also a piece of purple jadeite material, although the size is very small, but the purple light scattered in it, because there is no contrast with other purple jadeite materials on the side, suddenly it looks extraordinarily intense. It seems that the kind of mystery and charm that the 13 pieces of jadeite material just now will have are concentrated on such a piece of jadeite material at once.
Not only Jia Nidao, but also Lao Li and a few people, seeing such a scene, they were also surprised!
"Boss, I take back what I just said. Lao Li said, "This kind of jade material, I think, we should really design it." Otherwise, it would be too wasteful. ”
"I see, in the carving of such jadeite material, among the people present, except for the boss himself, no one has the means to carry out a separate carving. Xu Zhiguo pondered and said, "Don't look at me like that, I don't shirk responsibility at this time." Boss's craft, I think, you should know it too, right?"
Although the glass imperial hedge Cui Guanyin pendant carved by Jia Rudao has been sent to Wang Biao, several people present have seen it. No matter how bad it is, Jia Rudao also deliberately took videos and photos for that work and kept it.
Anyway, it was also a piece of jade jewelry carved by Jia Yidao that was sold!
As for, before this, the two jade pendants that Jia Nidao used to practice his hands, although in terms of form, are not very mature, and in terms of craftsmanship, they are also quite unfamiliar, but they can already see the characteristics of Jia Nidao's carving. Moreover, these two works, Jia Rudao did not hide them, but was very generous, and sent them to the factory, so that Xu Zhiguo and other carvers could take a look at them from time to time.
Perhaps, the carving skills of Xu Zhiguo and others can figure out what can be found from the carving characteristics of Jia Rudao.
Completely learning this kind of carving technique, Jia Rudao is not extravagant, after all, it is carved by relying on his perception of ability. However, as long as Xu Zhiguo and others can make a little progress, or in other words, master a little way, so that the carved jade jewelry is more distinctive, whether it is for themselves or for Jia Yidao's jade company, it is a good thing!
"If it's all up to me to carve, isn't it too much in terms of workload?" Jia Rudao pondered for a moment, but still thought about it, "And I don't have that much time." "After all, it is very close to the opening time of the National Day jade store. Jia Rudao needs to be busy, but there are still many things.
"Boss, you don't have to worry about this. Xu Zhiguo said with a smile, "What do you think, how can we show all such good things at once?" So, when the jade shop opens, we only need to take out one or two of the carved ones, which are enough to attract everyone's attention, and that's it......"
"Moreover, we can also use these thirteen pieces of jadeite materials as a basis to make a combination of themed jadeite jewelry. The young man who had carefully carved these pieces of jadeite material just now continued, "In this way, customers estimate that they will be more looking forward to our follow-up display of jadeite jewelry." ”
"That's a good idea. The remarks of the two suddenly made Jia Yidao a little moved.
In fact, no matter who carved these 13 pieces of purple jadeite material and became famous, that is for sure. After all, this is "purple eyes", even Jia Yidao is in the jade line, and he has been so familiar with it, he has not heard of the best jadeite. Therefore, once it is carved into jadeite jewelry, if it is taken out and displayed, it will cause a sensation, there is no doubt about it.
The question is, after anyone carves these 13 pieces of jadeite material, what is the difference in craftsmanship between each other, others can see at a glance that these 13 pieces of jadeite material are from a piece of jadeite rough.
If it is replaced by some other jadeite materials, such as the bright green of the ice species, perhaps, only the experts in the jadeite line can roughly estimate what kind of jadeite rough is derived from the carved jadeite jewelry. However, this "purple eye" is too obvious.
Therefore, Jia Rudao's original plan was to let these carvers under his command each carve one or two pieces. In this way, it can be regarded as everyone's collective achievement.
However, in this way, the advantages and disadvantages are also very obvious.
In terms of benefits, it can consolidate the cooperative relationship between these people under Jia Rudao, so that their future work will become more relaxed and happy, that is for sure, and because of the combination of such a set of jade jewelry, it will add a bit of collective honor. As for the disadvantages, it is the degree of each person's craftsmanship is different, after all, it is four people, plus Jia Yidao himself, that is, five people are participating in carving, and everyone's carving strengths and technical characteristics will not be exactly the same.
When such a set of works carved by everyone is placed in front of everyone's eyes, it is undoubtedly a "slap in the face" behavior for the carving master who is relatively poor in carving skills.
Fortunately, at this time, all the carving masters did not have the idea of greedy merit, and directly agreed with Xu Zhiguo's suggestion, and completely carved by Jia Nidao. In this way, at least the combination of this set of jadeite jewelry, in terms of craftsmanship, there will not be too much gap, especially rare is that Jia Yidao's carving techniques, in dealing with some small places, especially the processing of details, has a very obvious advantage!
Otherwise, in the place of large-scale carving, everyone uses carving instruments, the only difference is probably the degree of application of their respective engraving instruments, right?
In the more popular parlance, that thing is too untechnical.
Thinking of this, Jia Rudao nodded. said: "Okay, then these 13 pieces of jadeite material will be carved by me personally." However, when it comes to engraving, I'm still there. However, if I had to design it myself, it would have been a bit reluctant. I think you can help us design it, right?"
Otherwise, Jia seems to be saying to himself, but he doesn't know that such a piece of jadeite material in front of him is more suitable for carving something. Brooch? Okay, but if Jia seems to come by himself, it is estimated that it will be a bare brooch, and there are no too many tricks!
"What about this piece of material in front of you......" Xu Zhiguo picked up the jade material, put it in his hand, looked at it for a while, and then said, "I think it's better to carve it into earrings, after all, it's too small in size." In terms of its form, it is still more suitable to carve into earrings. Especially the slightly larger end here, the purple color is very dazzling. It is used to carve into studs and wear them on women's ears, which can definitely make all men look at her earlobes and can't take their eyes off it!"
"What you said is light!" Jia Rudao looked at it carefully, this small jade material was really in line with Xu Zhiguo's statement.
"However, if it's just a simple earring, won't it seem too monotonous?" Lao Li said. At this time, suddenly from the door of the factory, there was a child's crying voice, which disturbed everyone's thoughts, Lao Li apologized first, needless to say, it should be Lao Li's child.
"This kid is really crying at the wrong time. Although Lao Li said so. However, I think Lao Li should not be blaming the child's crying, but complaining about his wife for not taking good care of the child, right?
"By the way, when this kid cried like this, I came up with a design. Xu Zhiguo said a little proudly, "Lao Li's mind must be blaming his sister-in-law for not taking good care of the little baby, right?" As he was speaking, the voice of a woman coaxing the child came. Everyone's faces, suddenly, showed a knowing smile!
Especially on Lao Li's face, a hint of red faintly appeared!
"So, I thought about it right away. This woman can't manage her children very well, so can you design a little trick on this earring earrings that are specially polished for women to warn you?" Seeing Jia Rudao, he couldn't help but urge him. Only then did he simply say, "No, I just thought of adding a little animal form to this piece of jade material, snake!"
Speaking of this, Xu Zhiguo no longer hesitated, pointed to the jadeite material in his hand, and said: "You see, this piece of jadeite material, the big end, naturally has nothing to say, but the small end, now it seems, is too small." And, in terms of overall form, it's not very straight!"
After all, when Jia Rudao dug out these "purple eyes", he had the mentality that he would rather attach some ordinary jadeite on the side than damage the purple jadeite in the slightest, so the purple jadeite material at this time looked like it was just an embryo. The specific part of the jadeite that completely exudes purple still needs to be carefully inspected to be able to see it completely.
"When I first thought about polishing the earrings, I naturally didn't take into account the twists and turns of this part. Xu Zhiguo said, "Now, ......"
Xu Zhiguo doesn't need to say anything at all, a "snake" character can already fully show the bend of this part.
