Chapter 354: Engagement

Tian Yu had always been terrified before Zhang Tianyuan's inspection, because he knew very well that with the two pieces of materials in Zhang Tianyuan's hand, even if it didn't cost money, as long as the news was leaked, then there would be a large gang of jade masters working for him for free.

After all, good jade is hard to find!

The masters will not make a move, and once they do, they must have good materials.

It's just that Tian Yu didn't know that Zhang Tianyuan invited him for other reasons, one of these reasons was that he didn't want to make a noise, after all, Qi Peilin had just been taken down, and the case was not completely closed yet, if Zhang Tianyuan asked the master to make jade for himself with great fanfare at this time, then it would inevitably cause some suspicions.

Another reason is that Zhang Tianyuan figured out Guò this time and included Tian Yu in his company, if Tian Yu really has the ability, he will dare to open a high salary.

When the two of them walked to Zhuoyu's warehouse, Tian Yu still didn't dare to feel at ease, so he said to Zhang Tianyuan: "Boss Zhang, I didn't know you had such a good material before, this is the best material that Zhuoyu people dream of, I don't want the cost of Zhuoyu, and I can't ask for it anyway, otherwise, others will say that I don't know what to do." ”

Zhang Tianyuan smiled and said: "It's not strange that you can have such an idea, if you don't want money, I can thank you in another way." ”

"In what way?" Tian Yu asked in surprise.

Zhang Tianyuan said: "Let's tell you the truth, I have now established a jewelry company in the imperial capital, which is under the jurisdiction of the Shenluo Ancient Art Company, and there is only one designer at present. But she's not as good at jadeite as you are, so I want to hire you as the deputy chief designer and work with her, how about it?"

Tian Yu's mind was clear, and at this moment he finally understood why Zhang Tianyuan could obviously ask a more powerful master to help, but in the end he chose him, and the trap was waiting here.

But he wasn't angry, he felt that he could be looked down upon by Zhang Tianyuan, which was also a kind of luck.

"I don't know who the other designer is?" asked Tian Yu.

"Xu Yue also went to Europe to study. Zhang Tianyuan replied.

"Xu Yue, is that Xu Yue who has won a design award in Europe?" Tian Yu looked a little excited.

"That's right. Do you know each other?"

"Recognize. Of course, I met her, I was a classmate of her, and we studied together abroad. If it's her, I'm willing. Xu Yue's professional level is very strong. And very picky about the work environment. She can accept your invitation, so I think you will be able to provide an environment that satisfies me, right?" Tian Yu asked with a smile.

"Naturally, I guarantee that the salary and working environment will be the best in the country. Even in the future, we will catch up with and surpass the world. Zhang Tianyuan replied.

"In that case, wouldn't my exhibition in Xifeng be meaningless?"

"Don't change what has been decided, the exhibition will continue, but in the name of our company, how about it?" Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.

"Boss Zhang really deserves to be Boss Zhang, he is really good enough, okay, since I'm going to join your company, this is not a problem, but I will lead the exhibition, right?"

"That's natural, if you don't feel that the influence is big enough, I can pay for you to advertise, try to do it decently, in this way, we can also do the jewelry market in Xifeng together." Zhang Tianyuan said.

"That's what you are considering, I am the same as Xu Yue, but I am good at professional knowledge, and I am really not good at management and marketing, and I have to help from your company." ”

"That's fine. ”

The two of them were talking, and they had already come to the warehouse, all kinds of tools and machines were readily available, but Tian Yu didn't have them, Zhang Tianyuan also asked someone to buy them back yesterday, originally Shaanzhou was a big jade province, so these machines were still easy to find.

According to their own design, the jade master processes the jade material, that is, uses various tools and operating techniques to process the original jade material into the final utensils according to the design requirements, this process is called jade treatment, also known as jade. Today, we usually call jade carving, but in fact, jade is not carved, but the use of emery, quartz, garnet and other "jade sand" with hardness higher than jade, supplemented by water grinding, is the so-called "stone of other mountains, can attack jade". And the saying that "jade is not cut, it is not made" also comes from this processing process of jade.

The material of jade is water and "jade sand", and the tools of jade are various stones. The machine consists of a stone and a transmission device. A stone is a round sheet that, when rotated, provides even friction. Through the continuous rotation of the machine and the adjustment of the position of the jade, skilled jade craftsmen can carve jade objects of various shapes as they like. The stone machine, also known as the "water stool", appeared as early as the late Neolithic period. In the thousands of years since, the way of driving, the attitude of the operator, and the material of the stone have all improved, but the basic structure of the stone machine has not changed. To this day, although jade workers have used electric energy to drive and emery to polish, the tools for jade cutting are still the stone machines invented by their ancestors thousands of years ago.

Speaking of which, modern people are still quite ashamed, and the tools they use are still the same as their ancestors.

After arriving at the warehouse, Tian Yu asked Zhang Tianyuan: "Your tools and instruments here are very complete, thank you, I still need to design it before I can do it." ”

The processing procedure of this jade bare large piece is generally divided into material selection, design, pondering and polishing, if it is just a bracelet, it is basically not necessary to design, draw a sketch out, as long as the size is not wrong, it will basically not be a problem, but the bare body is more troublesome, every inch has to be carefully designed, otherwise it is easy to have problems, if such a good material is ruined, then don't say sorry Zhang Tianyuan, even Tian Yu himself will feel very unhappy.

Now the material is not to choose, the next step of the work is naturally design, this is also a very important part of the study of the jade master's skills, the basic skills are not solid, from the design drawings he draws, it can be seen that the jade master should be good at painting, but also understand some of the traditional culture of our country, such as the eight immortals to do this time. If you don't understand the Eight Immortals, don't understand the Eight Immortals, don't say that you have done it, it is estimated that you don't even know how to start.

Fortunately, now there is a computer, which is not as troublesome as before, and can only draw on paper, and can also query some information on the Internet.

"Do you need to go online?" asked Zhang Tianyuan.

"What? Do you still have a network cable here?"

"No, I don't have internet access here, but I do have Wi-Fi. 4G. It's fast, you can use it however you want. Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.

"That's great, I might really use the Internet, you can help me, and I don't have to worry about the Internet connection. Here's what's next. Leave it all to me. Tian Yu said excitedly.

Zhang Tianyuan nodded. Helped Tian Yu link up the wireless network, and then debugged it to confirm that there was no problem. Only then did he leave the storeroom.

Tian Yu is very similar to Zhang Tianyuan in some things, that is, once he enters concentration, he doesn't care about the things around him.

Seeing Tian Yu concentrating on drawing on the computer, Zhang Tianyuan didn't dare to continue to bother him, but walked out, he planned to invite an aunt to cook, after all, Tian Yu was going to live here for more than a month, and it was not appropriate to always trouble his mother, anyway, now that he has money, take care of the aunt in the village, and give some money to be responsible for cooking every day, which is also a good thing.

This thing is done very smoothly, he is now an absolute celebrity in this village, and people know him everywhere he goes, in fact, when he had no money before, it was basically the same, after all, most of the people in the village are still very simple, there are not so many intrigues, in such a village, people will feel very comfortable, very comfortable.

Nie Qinglan went to Zhang Tianyuan's mother early in the morning to learn how to cook, saying that she wanted to take this opportunity to learn a few more Shaanzhou dishes and cook them for Old Man Nie in the future.

Old man Nie's hometown is in Shaanzhou, he is from Guanzhong, and he lives in Zhang Tianyuan's county, and the Shaanzhou cuisine in the imperial capital is not very authentic, and it is still not as good as the people in his hometown, so Nie Qinglan also had a whim.

Zhang Tianyuan asked her if she was not going to visit Tian Yu's jade process, and she said that it was inconvenient for lonely men and widows to be together.

Zhang Tianyuan really didn't expect it, this Sister Nie is actually shy, it's really rare.

At the end of September, it was about to be the National Day, and the weather became cooler, when Zhang Tianyuan came back from his errands, he received a call from Nie Zhen from the imperial capital, saying that it had been raining in the imperial capital for the past two days, and Nie Zhen told him that the marriage with Ye Yulan was basically decided, and he was engaged on the National Day, and then he got married during the New Year.

"You're in such a hurry to get engaged, I can't go back at all?" Zhang Tianyuan said with annoyance.

"You don't have to come back, we are going to travel and get engaged on National Day, catch up with the fashion, and you won't see us when you come back." Nie Zhen smiled: "You can prepare gifts for us with peace of mind." ”

"Don't worry, I've already started preparing the gifts. ”

In fact, Zhang Tianyuan hasn't prepared yet, his carving speed is very fast, and it is very human, so it's almost time to rush a little, so there's no need to be in such a hurry.

"That's great, please, our wedding gift can't be much worse than the gift of the old man's birthday." ”

"Don't worry, I can still go wrong?" Where are you going to travel?" Zhang Tianyuan asked.

"First to Hong Kong, then to the United States. Nie Zhen said.

"Go to Hong Kong, that's great, I have to ask you to do something. Zhang Tianyuan said.

"What's the matter?"

"On the National Day, there will be an auction of jade jewelry in Hong Kong, which is the last queen's graceful jade jewelry set, please help me auction it, and I will give you the money when the time comes. Zhang Tianyuan replied.

"Do you want that too? What should I do, Aunt Ye also said that she wanted it. Nie Zhen was a little embarrassed.

"It's not that I want, it's Sister Nie who wants it, if you dare to rob her, then grab it." Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile: "You sue the Ye family girl, just say that she wants jewelry, I will use the best jade to make it for her, but Ah Wanrong's jade jewelry set, let it be given to Sister Nie, that is not suitable for her." ”

"I'm ......" Before Nie Zhen finished speaking, the phone was snatched away.

"Brother Zhang, you don't have to worry about me, if Sister Nie wants it, I will give it to her, but the wedding gift you promised me to give me can't be cold. The phone turned out to be snatched away by Ye Yulan.

"Okay, you two are actually tired of being together, haven't you been separated since you came back from here?" Zhang Tianyuan asked with a smile.

"Nonsense, we went back to our respective homes and reported the situation. Ye Yulan explained.

"Okay, I don't need to explain, I understand, men love women, it's normal for people!" (To be continued......)
