The whole root carving work is not complicated, the bottom is a simple and rough hill, on the top of the hill stands a goat, and there are two small lambs, one large and one small, next to the goat. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The big one should be the ewe, and the small one is their cub.

It may seem like a simple root carving, but the goat's form is so well carved that each hair is as if it were real, and you can see it at once.

In particular, the eyes of these three sheep have carved out their expressions. The look in each sheep's eyes is different, and when you look at it, it seems that each sheep is looking at people, and you can almost stare into people's hearts.

Chu Ning was touched by the little lamb's gaze at his parents.

That trace of admiration is the softest place in people's hearts.

There have been countless times when she has imagined the joy of being with her parents. It's a pity that it's always just imagination, and it's impossible to have it in reality.

Therefore, she is especially envious of those children who are pampered by their parents.

Meng Dongyue looked at this root carving work, even with his critical eye, he had to admit that the craftsmanship of this root carving was really good.

The person who carved this root carving work is definitely a veteran who has been in this industry for decades, even if he is not a master.

Otherwise, this root carving would never have reached such a level.

But even so, Meng Dongyue didn't think that this root carving was worth much.

The main reason is the selection of materials for this root carving.

There are not many types of wood that can be used for root carving, some are valuable, and some are cheap.

The material of this root carving in front of me is the usual camphor wood.

Camphor wood is actually a good building and furniture material, not only not easy to deform, but also able to prevent insects.

In addition to being often used to make furniture, camphor wood is also often used as other wood products.

Wood carving is one of them.

Because of the characteristics of camphor wood to ward off filth, dampness and insecticide, it is also often used to carve Buddha statues.

Chu Ning's fancy to this root carving is very large, and it can be seen that the age of the camphor wood used for carving is definitely not short, at least for several decades.

It stands to reason that such wood is still very valuable.

But the wood looks so new, and the wood carving is definitely not more than ten years old.

In other words, this root carving work is completely a modern handicraft, and it has nothing to do with antiques.

No matter how beautiful the carving is, how good the wood is, as long as it is a modern craft, the price will never be called.

Unless it's the work of some well-known master.

Of course, the finished product of this carving is definitely not high.

Chu Ning and Meng Dongyue could see that there were some problems with the selection of materials for this camphor wood root carving, which should have been damaged during the excavation. That is to say, the root carving master who carved this work is skilled enough, so that he can develop his strengths and avoid weaknesses, and carve it into today's smart appearance.

Meng Dongyue said with some hesitation: "Little junior sister, this carving is indeed good, but it should not be an antique ......."

That's a tact.

Chu Ning smiled indifferently: "I know it's not an antique." However, I don't like whether it's an antique or not, I just like it. ”

There is no need to persuade that.

Meng Dongyue thought for a while and said: "In addition to the good craftsmanship of this carving, there are actually a lot of merits. For example, the three sheep carved out of it can be completely named and given the name of Sanyang Kaitai, which is beautiful and auspicious! In the future, there will be a chance to find another enlightened monk to open the light for it, and maybe it can become some magic weapon and bring it to the town house!"

Chu Ning was amused by him.

They do antiques, and the people they come into contact with have always been in three religions and nine streams, and there is a category of people who are the legendary heavenly masters, also known as feng shui masters.

For Feng Shui masters, ritual tools are a must-have tool.

Some of the magic weapons have been handed down from ancient times. At first, it was regarded as a worthless old gadget, and when it was discovered that the other party was a magic weapon, the value immediately rose gradually, and it was not much worse than the treasures and antiques of the same period!

However, for the so-called magic weapons, they antique appraisers don't know how to distinguish them, and they can only understand when they meet a feng shui master and are pointed out by a feng shui master.

Looking at Meng Dongyue's appearance, he seems to have some research on magic weapons.

I, Senior Brother Meng, have a wide range of knowledge!

"Then borrow Senior Brother Meng's auspicious words. Chu Ning said with a smile.

Meng Dongyue understood now.

It seems that Chu Ning really wants to buy this root carving work!

After confirming this, Meng Dongyue did not delay any longer, and directly approached the stall owner and asked, "Boss, how do you sell this carving?"

The stall owner is a middle-aged man in a dusty coat, he has been sitting in front of the stall seriously, carefully watching the crowd of people coming and going in the stall, his eyes are expecting and lonely.

Obviously, although this root carving is good, but because it is not an antique, so many people come and go, and no one is willing to buy it.

In addition to the large root carving that Chu Ning fancied, there were also some other root carvings on the stall owner's stall, some large and some small, some with good craftsmanship and some rough craftsmanship, which should not be from the same person's handwriting.

Seeing that a young man from Meng Dongyue suddenly came to ask the price, the stall owner was even stunned before he reacted, and hurriedly said: "My carving is very cheap, only 18,000 yuan!"

Meng Dongyue was stunned.

There are still fractions of this price, and I don't know how to open it.

However, for such a root carving work as Dior, even in terms of the price of modern handicrafts, it is really not expensive, and it can even be said to be very cheap.

It's just that the people who come here are here to pick up big leaks, and it is inevitable that they can't look down on such a bulky and non-antique thing.

"Eighteen thousand, this is too expensive!" Meng Dongyue habitually talked about the price, "I see that your carving skills are very rough! And this selection of materials, there is no difference from leftovers, right? According to me, I am kind to give you 8,000 yuan!"

The stall owner obviously didn't expect Meng Dongyue to belittle his root carving so badly, and he couldn't react for a while, and his face was red.

He hesitated for a long time, and finally said in embarrassment: "No, this is really the lowest price, I can't be less!"

Oh, people who sell things, that's what they generally say.

Meng Dongyue didn't believe it at all.

He wanted to say more, but Chu Ning suddenly pulled him and said in a low voice: "Senior Brother Meng, don't talk about it." It's only 18,000 yuan, I bought this root carving!"

Although Chu Ning's voice was very low, the people who heard it were not only Meng Dongyue, but also the stall owner.

I didn't expect this business to go so smoothly, the stall owner was overjoyed, but Meng Dongyue had a dark face.
