264 Craft

On November 11, Jingzhong Academy was on a collective holiday, except for the students selected by each college to participate in the handicraft competition, who had to go to the host Dongxi Academy, other students who were willing to go to the venue, and those who did not want to go were not reluctant.

Of course, Yan Qi wanted to go to Cui Xi's aid, and even took Wu Yue, Lu Rong and Young Master Yan Jiu with him, and when he arrived at the gate of Dongxi Academy, it was already crowded inside and out, and the comrades of the Heavenly Dynasty would not reduce their enthusiasm for joining in the excitement at any time.

Yan Qi also saw Young Master Yan, Third Young Master Yan and Fifth Miss Yan in the crowd, and even saw Xiao Chen after entering the gate.

"Hey, Xiao Yuanyi, are you here to join in the fun?" Wu Yue beckoned to Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen glanced at this and nodded slightly.

"I don't feel like you're a fungiver. Wu Yue stared at him up and down, looking suspicious that Xiao Chen was possessed.

Young Master Yan Jiu glanced at his sister with a smile, and slowly asked her in a volume that the people next to him couldn't hear, "What did you talk to about in the morning exercise?"

"Uh, ahem, I'm talking about coming to watch this tournament today. Yan Qidao, "Do you know that if you are too sensitive, you will get pimples?"

"Then you can mix with us!" Wu Yue had already made the decision to include Xiao Chen in the gang, and turned his head to greet Yan Qi and the others, "Hurry up, hurry up, let's go and grab a good position first, there will be too many people to occupy the front row in a while!"

Several people hurriedly quickened their pace, Young Master Yan Jiu was still planning to float slowly, but when he saw Yan Qi was about to come over and take his hand, he flicked his sleeves and avoided the Eight Immortals, and kept up with the speed of these people with an expressionless face.

The place of the competition is located in several spacious pavilions, divided into wood art group, stone art group, soil art group, metal art group, etc., etc., the audience can choose the competition they are interested in to watch in the hall, or they can watch back and forth in each hall. Cui Xi reported a wood art competition, because "it saves trouble and is too lazy to do complicated".

Five, six, seven, nine took Xiao Chen directly to the Xuan Pavilion where the wood art group was located, and saw that a wide and flat high platform had been set up in the hall, and a row of tables and chairs were placed on the stage for the players to compete on it.

Before the contestants entered the hall, Wu Yue looked around, and suddenly saw that Yan Wu girl was stepping in from outside the door with Yan Young Master and Yan Third Young Master, and couldn't help but pout, and pulled Yan Qi next to her: "Why is she here too?!"

"Let's join in the fun. "Yan Qidao.

"She's interested in this, why didn't I find out!" Wu Yue rolled her eyes.

"Idle is idle. Yan Qi didn't care.

The eldest young master Yan also saw the Yan Qi sisters and brothers, smiled and waved at the box, and walked over with the third young master Yan and the fifth girl Yan: "I knew that you would also come to see it, so we will go out together." ”

"Let's go and meet Ah Yue and Xiao Lotus first. Yan Qi explained.

"Cheering for Cui Xiaosi?" Young Master Yan looked at Yan Qi with a smile and a bit of banter in his expression.

"yes. Yan Qi has long been resistant to this kind of gossip gaze, "Big brother, you too?"

"In addition to cheering, I also plan to go back to some interesting things," Young Master Yan said with a smile, "I heard that there are a lot of strange things at the exhibition, and I have brought all the silver." ”

"The exhibition will only start tomorrow, right?" Wu Yue interjected beside him.

"Ming'er is still here," Young Master Yan smiled, "If anyone makes something interesting in this competition today, then buy it now, and after all, this money is also used for charity." ”

"Big Brother is a real player. Third Young Master Yan chuckled beside him.

Young Master Yan laughed, as if he liked the title "player" very much. This person is very fun-loving, and he is interested in things related to play, such as cockfighting, cricket, gambling on stones, gambling on competitions, listening to plays, raising a family, collecting ancient and rare children, and is a famous player in Beijing.

The legendary Kyoto Four Princes (纨) Zi (绔), the Yan family accounted for two, one Yan Si Master, one is Yan Da Young Master, uncle and nephew are not a way, Yan Da Young Master is eating, drinking, playing, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, elegant and vulgar, Yan Si Lao Ye is more evil, go to the sky and the moon and go down to the sea to catch turtles, see God and see ghosts, but Mrs. Yan still said a very fair word: This uncle and nephew together is the Yan Zike of the year, when it comes to playing, none of you can play that goods.

So Yan Jingchao inherited the part of his father's traits that he could play? Wu Yue looked at the golden brocade clothes of the young master Yan, and shook his head secretly, it was a pity, it seemed that this inherited Mrs. Yan had more traits.

Yan Wu girl stood next to her and ignored this room, just looking at the temporarily empty competition table in a daze, Wu Yue felt that this person seemed to have changed a little compared to before, but the specific change was not said for a while, while the others were still talking there, she quietly dragged Lu Lotus, and asked her in her ear: "Do you think Yan Wu has changed?"

"Compared to before, it seems to have less aura. Lu Rong also realized, "Just looking at her eyes, they are not as smart and vivid as before." ”

"That's better," Wu Yue snorted, "so as not to think about calculating others all day long." ”

Cui Xi walked in the back position, wearing a peacock blue robe inlaid with silver wire, with silver gray mink hair rolling on the collar, lined with a face as white as jade, and saw Yan Qi under the stage at a glance, a bright smile bloomed on his lips, causing a gentle inhalation sound from the audience.

Cui Si usually has a cold face towards everyone, but every time he sees Xiao Qi, he laughs out of flowers. Wu Yue whispered to Lu Rong.

"It's exactly the song that Xiao Qi taught us before: I laugh when I see you. Lu Rong covered her mouth and chuckled.

"I don't know why, I smiled when I saw you, and with you, I never had to worry about it......" Wu Yue hummed incompletely.

Xiao Chen next to him looked at Cui Xi on the stage silently.

Of course, the way of the woodwork group competition is to do woodwork, light the timing incense, about two quarters of an hour, do what you want to do, stop when the timing incense burns, and then have a small stick of incense for about five minutes to the audience, each audience can spend ten dollars to buy a yarn flower to vote for the contestants, put the flowers in front of the table where the contestants sit, a stick of incense to end the vote, with more flowers to win, and the audience to buy the money will also be used as a donation to charity.

The woodworking competition is divided into eight groups, each group of ten people, the top two are selected to advance to the top 16, and then divided into four groups to determine the first place in each group to enter the finals.

Two quarters of an hour is only half an hour, and what can be made of wood in that half an hour? The spectators were silent and quietly waiting to watch the game.

The ten players on the stage sat on the chairs behind the table in turn, put the wood and tools they brought on the table, and the referee checked them one by one.

Since the time is only two quarters of an hour, the contestants are unable to do more complex crafts, which tests how to make novelty, beautiful or ingenious works with smaller wood in a short time, so most of the contestants only use tools such as carpentry knives and small files and small planers.

Cui Xi still only used his knife, unhurriedly holding a piece of wood to cut and carve, but the players next to him were racing against time, for a while the knife light flashed and sawdust flew together, one was probably too nervous, the knife in his hand was not held, and when he carved the wood, he suddenly broke away from his hand, and flew directly to Yan Qi who was standing in the first row, Yan Qi was thinking that if he hid the people behind him, he was afraid that he would suffer, and before he finished his thoughts, he stretched out a hand next to him to pinch the knife firmly in mid-air, seeing that it was Xiao Chen, he held the knife with two fingers and shook it gently, and threw it back in front of the player, The sound of "collapse" was inserted on the desktop next to the person, and it was almost a centimeter to be inserted into the person's hand, which scared the person into a cold sweat, and looked at Xiao Chen in the audience in confusion, Xiao Chen stared at him: "If you don't know how to use a knife, don't show your eyes on it." ”

Five-six-seven-nine: "...... "Big brother, you speak too directly......

The audience in the audience also had a false alarm, and they all booed the person who missed, and the person was about to cry: Lao Tzu is not Xiao Li Feidao...... Who is Xiao Li Flying Knife?

Half an hour usually feels very long, but this time it flies, the wood in the hands of the players gradually has a prototype, the first player seems to be carving a nuclear boat, and the little man with an exposed belly on the boat is vivid. The second contestant carved the Guanyin master, and the willow branches inserted in the net bottle in his hand are all clear. The third contestant carved a camellia, and the intricate petals were as thin as cicada wings that could flutter with the wind. Fourth player......

"They are all masters!" Wu Yue said, "Cui Siding can't stand it?"

"He can't lose just by looking at his appearance. "Yan Qidao.

Wu Yue understood the word "appearance", and when he heard the words, he looked around, and saw that no matter whether he was male or female, the eyes of the vast majority of the audience were staring at Cui Xi's face or hands.

"Well, I don't worry about him anymore. Wu Yue shrugged and spread his hands.

It turns out that Cui Xi is not only good-looking, but also has excellent craftsmanship - his work is "A Cup of Spilled Milk...... That's right, a cup that fell to the ground and was half broken out of wood was carved, and the milk in it was spilled, and a small part was left in the half of the cup that was not broken - the milk was also carved out of wood, and after carving, it was colored with a blended oil paint, so that the wooden cup looked no different from a real blue and white porcelain cup, and the milk was even more realistic, and the roundness and smoothness of the water were carved so that it was difficult to distinguish the authenticity, and even the thickness of the milk was vividly expressed!

When this finished product was presented in front of the audience's eyes, the admiration almost tore off the roof of the Xuan Pavilion, if it weren't for the fact that each audience was limited to buying one yarn flower to vote, Wu Yue dared to say that the girls who shouted the loudest could buy all the money they brought with them and vote for Cui Xi.

Cui Xi finally entered the top 16 with the first place in the group, and the sixteen-to-four game will be held in the afternoon. ”

Public: "......" hands can be carved like this if they are frozen, if they are not frozen, can you even carve out the dust on the milk?!

"I brought you a pair of gloves. Yan Qi carried a satchel today, and took out a pair of gloves from the satchel, the outside is deer skin and the inside is rabbit down, she doesn't know how to do it herself, she described the appearance and asked the embroidery lady in the needlework room in the house to help make it, and by the way, she brought Wu Yue, Lu Lotus and Yan Xiaojiu to make a pair.

Cui Xi happily took it and put it on, the size and weight were just right, "It's warmer than a hand stove." ”

Where can it be compared to the hand stove, probably because the heart is warm, so the hands are also warm.

Xiao Chen turned his head, but he inadvertently saw Yan Qi's fifth sister, staring at this room with resentment in her eyes. 166 Reading Network
