Zhang Tianyuan had already completed the carving of the phoenix, and Zhang Xiaoyu was still nervously busy, it could be seen that she was really engaged at this time, and she didn't even pay attention to Liu Lao and Zhang Tianyuan talking on the side.

"Let's go, Mr. Liu, I invite you to eat in the food street. When I came back, I brought a copy to this girl by the way. Zhang Tianyuan said.

The food street is near the Drum Tower, about a hundred meters away, and the two discussed a lot of things about carving techniques when they were eating, which was quite enjoyable.

When she returned to the store, Zhang Xiaoyu was already asleep on the sofa, and the phoenix she carved had already taken shape.

"Although this calligraphy is a little tender, but this girl is talented, let her follow you to the imperial capital, it won't be a loss to you, right?"

"No! I can't be happy. Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.

The sound of the two of them waking up Zhang Xiaoyu, Zhang Tianyuan put the barbecue, dumplings and other things he bought on the table and said: "Beauty, hurry up and wash your face and eat while it's hot, although it's summer now, it's still not delicious when it's cold." ”

Zhang Xiaoyu didn't rush to eat, but hurriedly asked Liu Laodao: "Liu Lao, tell me quickly, who won?"

"Girl, you also know how to carve, can't you see this? Do you have to make it clear?" Liu Lao sighed and said.

When he said this, Zhang Xiaoyu knew that he was right, Zhang Tianyuan not only carved for a shorter time than her, but also carved more delicately and beautifully, especially the knife work, how old you look, it doesn't look like a young man's technique at all. No matter how you compare, you lose.

"Alright. Don't be discouraged, this little brother Tianyuan is a talent that is rare in a hundred years. You can't compare with him, but your carving is not bad. Ordinary people can't tell the difference between good and bad, and tomorrow the customer will be happy to pick up the goods, don't worry. Liu Lao comforted.

"Your name is Zhang Tianyuan?"

"That's right. Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.

"I know you, but it's not about carving and jadeite, it's about wine, your Baiguo Brew and Hundred Flowers Brew are famous at the sugar and wine party, I still want to buy a few bottles for Liu Lao, who knows that thing is so expensive." Can't it be cheaper?" Zhang Xiaoyu looked at Zhang Tianyuan with some complaint.

"Everything has to have a cost price, our Baiguo Brew and Baihua Brew are really made of collecting Baiguo and Baihua, and it has great benefits to the human body, compared to liquor and wine, it is much better, it's no problem to be a little more expensive, you don't look at the virtue of foreign high-priced red wine, we can't lower the price, but if Liu Lao wants to drink. I can have a few bottles sent to you, and I'll pay for it. Zhang Tianyuan looked at Liu Lao and said.

"No, no, no, you can't pay for it, the old man can still afford a few bottles of wine. It's just that there has been no way, and if I had known that you were the real owner of the winery, I would have been looking for you a long time ago. Liu Lao said with a smile.

"Didn't you still find me? I'll be just a phone call away and I'll be able to bring you a few bottles of good wine. Do you prefer a fruit or a potpourri?"

"Does this make a difference?"

"The taste is not the same, and the effect is a little different. I think it's better for the elderly to drink Baiguo Brew, and girls drinking Baihua Brew will help improve the quality of their skin, and if they drink it for a long time, they will have a faint floral fragrance, and they don't even need to spray perfume. Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.

"Then buy me a few bottles, I don't have any money, how about you give it to me?" Zhang Xiaoyu said with a wink.

"Okay, it's no problem to send you, but this is an employee benefit, you will go to the imperial capital in the future, but you have to give me a good job." Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.

"That's fine, I promise to work hard. Zhang Xiaoyu's original haze was suddenly swept away, and a smile appeared on his face.

……

Three days later, all the pendants commissioned by Zhang Tianyuan to build by Liu Lao were all carved.

The pendants of the water jade are all packed into a beautiful gift box, ready to be taken to the imperial capital for gifts.

As for the pendant of the Ice Seed Emperor Green Jade, Zhang Tianyuan gave it to his sister, mother, father, niece, nephew, and the remaining pendant and a pair of earrings were ready to be given to Xu Xu.

Although Xu Xu is not his girlfriend, he plays an extremely important role in his life, just like his family.

It can be said without this woman, he may find a place to commit suicide one day, at that time, he had just fallen out of love, and his love was extremely unstable.

Because there were still leftover scraps that had not been used up, he simply became a good person and gave Zhang Xiaoyu a pair of earrings, but the appearance must be different from Xu Xu's, and it was not made by him, but Zhang Xiaoyu got it for himself.

Of course, the gift is not given for free, Zhang Xiaoyu is completely tied to the chariot by him now, and he can't get off even if he wants to.

……

"Dad, Mom, you go back, you don't need to send it! I'll call you when you get to the imperial capital." ”

It didn't take long to come back, and Zhang Tianyuan was about to leave again, but the second elder was used to this kind of thing, although he was reluctant, but his son was not going to learn badly, and he always had to support him.

"Be careful when you arrive in the imperial capital, Mom doesn't ask you to have much interest, just want to be safe and hungry, you know?" Li Lanxiang still couldn't help crying.

"Mom, don't worry, I'll be careful, and I have friends over there, and the people from the last archaeological team were in the imperial capital. Zhang Tianyuan said while wiping his mother's tears.

"Okay, that's good. Li Lanxiang was also relieved when she heard that there was an acquaintance, otherwise her son was not familiar with the place, which was really worrying.

"By the way, the two children of my sister-in-law's family are working in the imperial capital, if you can, take care of them. At this time, Zhang Ruhai said.

"Don't worry, Dad, as long as I can find them, I will definitely take care of them. "The relationship between relatives in rural areas is still relatively good, especially the children of my aunt's family, which Zhang Tianyuan is very familiar with.

The children of his sister-in-law's family, one of whom is a girl, is very beautiful. To put it mildly, when I was in junior high school. Zhang Tianyuan also thought that he would be able to marry her in the future.

That little girl has been sticking to Zhang Tianyuan since she was a child, and Zhang Tianyuan is five years older than that girl. When she was in college, the little girl dropped out of school and later went to Beijing to work.

The other is a boy, who is also four years younger than Zhang Tianyuan, and now these two are in the imperial capital, and I heard that they are doing some work such as distributing leaflets.

The last time Zhang Tianyuan saw these two people, it was when his grandfather died, although he heard these two people say that life there is very good and not hard. But reporting good news and not bad news has always been the talent of sensible children, and they don't want to let their families worry about it, and they don't want others to look down on them, so what is going on, you have to see it to know.

"Dad, I'll give you that car, change the license plate, change it for the local one, and the license plate in Shangpu is not easy to get. I'll have to save it for later. "Zhang Tianyuan didn't want to drive, because Zhang Xiaoyu didn't know how to drive, and if he went from here to the imperial capital alone, something would definitely happen.

It's better to take the high-speed rail.

"Okay. It's just that you're going to have to run around in the future, and your car can solve big problems. "Zhang Ruhai used to be a soldier in the army and drove a car. It's a truck, but he's pretty good.

"That's it. I wish Dad, your orchard will be completed as soon as possible, and lead the villagers of our village to become rich. ”

"Don't worry. Your dad is now focused on this, and he can't be wrong. ”

"But don't be too tired, don't be afraid to spend money, hire more professionals, you're actually not too young. Zhang Tianyuan said again.

"You kid, why are you more verbose than your mother, okay, hurry up and get on the road, the train is almost here." Zhang Ruhai urged.

"Then I'm leaving. ”

When he walked into the station with Zhang Xiaoyu, Zhang Tianyuan obviously saw the tears slipping through the corners of Zhang Xiaoyu's eyes, he stepped forward and touched Zhang Xiaoyu's head, and said with a smile: "Girl, don't cry, just treat me as a relative in the future, I can't give your parents' care, but you can treat me as a brother." ”

"Who's going to be your sister? Zhang Xiaoyu said with a smile.

"Hahaha, you're tsundere!"

……

Xifeng is located in the heart of our country, the traffic is very convenient, extending in all directions, there are cars to the southeast and northwest, and it is very convenient to go anywhere.

Zhang Tianyuan bought that kind of closed sleeper at a high price, this kind of sleeper was originally only for special people, but as long as you have money and access, you can still buy it.

From Xifeng to the imperial capital, it was only a few hours to take the high-speed rail, and he didn't even have to sleep, but Zhang Tianyuan had valuable jade on his body, so he didn't want to be with others, so as not to have any accidents.

Although the historical accumulation of Xifeng is not inferior to the imperial capital, the imperial capital is one of the largest cities in the country after all, and it is also the center of political and cultural gravity.

The most famous Dashilar and Liulichang in the imperial capital, the former is not famous, but the Liulichang has even heard of many people who don't understand antiques at all.

Such names often appear in TV dramas and novels.

Although Zhang Tianyuan said that he was confident to go to the imperial capital to make a career, when he got in the car, he was still a little apprehensive, after all, this was the first time he went to the imperial capital.

The imperial capital has gathered a large number of bigwigs in the antique and collecting worlds, and even the carving, which is definitely leading the northern trend.

Previously, it was said that there are differences between the techniques of the south and the north in carving, but in fact, if it is subdivided. There are four major schools of jade carving technology: "Northern School", "Yang School", "Shanghai School" and "Southern School".

The carving style formed by the jade carving craft masters in the "northern school" imperial capital, Jincheng and Liaozhou is the most outstanding in the imperial capital.

The "four monsters and one demon" are Pan Bingheng, who is famous for carving group portraits and thin tire craftsmanship, Liu Deying, who is famous for three-dimensional round carving flowers, He Rong, who is famous for round carving gods and Buddhas, Wang Shusen, who is admired for the elegance and elegance of jade pieces such as "flower pieces", and Zhang Yunhe, who is "bird Zhang". The northern jade carving has the characteristics of solemnity, simplicity and elegance.

"Yang School" - the unique craftsmanship of the jade carving in the Zhouyang area. "Yangpai" jade carving pays attention to the rules, exquisite craftsmanship, and the shape is elegant and beautiful.

"Shanghai School" - the art style of jade carving centered on Shangpu. "Shanghai School" is characterized by the delicacy of utensils (mainly imitation bronzes) and the vivid and expressive shapes of figures and animals, with delicate carving, rigorous modeling, solemn and elegant.

"Southern School" - Dongguang, Nanxun area of jade carving due to the long-term bamboo and wood ivory carving technology and Southeast Asian culture influence, in the hollow carving of multi-layer jade balls and high-grade jade jewelry, unique, plump shape, echoing expressive, forming the "Southern School" artistic style.

Here, even if you are a master, you have to be careful, because if you are not careful, you may be blinded and you may be fooled, and this city is actually not very friendly to some people. (To be continued......)
