Chapter 5: Nobody
Hey, by the way, Lu Zu often used jade to depict charms back then......
Thinking of this, Fangzheng's eyes began to light up. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The right hand drew a few dots out of thin air, Fang Zheng nodded with satisfaction, the feeling when he depicted the charm was still there, although it did not reach the level of Lu Zu's arm, but if he wanted to practice more, the level could be improved.
The thought of practicing more, Fangzheng's teeth are a little sore, now that jade is so expensive, this practice is not only a charm, but also money.
It is no wonder that the practice pays attention to the wealth and land of the Dharma couple, and the truth that it is difficult to move an inch without money is not only feasible in modern times, but also in ancient times. Pouting, Fang Zheng didn't have much heart to walk around the roadside, and walked around the market.
When passing by a stall selling tools, Fang Zheng stood directly.
The stalls are a bit remote, after all, not many people who visit the market now will buy tools, so a complete set of electric drill tools can be sold a few sets a day, even if it is very good. Therefore, the stalls selling tools will not be in the middle of the market.
The uncle in front of him who sells power tools obviously has his own shop, and then set up a stall in front of the store to solicit business.
Modern craftsmanship is no more troublesome than in ancient times, when engraving was much more troublesome, but now with power tools, engraving has become much easier.
After picking and choosing a lot of tools for grinding, carving, and polishing, plus a motor that could be used, there were only a hundred oceans left in Founder's wallet.
"Uncle, do you see Ming'er setting up a stall here for you? Something to process for someone else? After selecting the things, Fang Zheng did not ask the stall owner to pack them immediately, but asked a question that was more important to him.
If you want to make money by carving, you must first have a machine, second, electricity, and third, a customer. Now that the machine has been bought, as long as the shopkeeper gives electricity, it will be easy to do.
"You want to do machining?" There weren't many people dangling in front of the stall, plus Fang Zheng had just bought something for more than 300 yuan, so the uncle had a rare exchange of views with Fang Zheng: "It's no problem to give you electricity." But, young man, it's not easy to do processing now. ”
There are a lot of carved parts sold in the market, and most of the people who buy raw materials are ready to process them themselves, so it is not easy to do business in the market for processing. After all, sometimes the processing fee is too expensive, even more expensive than the price of the finished product, and it is troublesome, and you have to risk the destruction of the material...... So the business is very cold.
The uncle's tone made Fang Zheng feel bad, but after all the tools were bought, could he still be scared away? Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders: "It's okay, just set up a stall and try it." ”
"Okay, then put it at my door." The uncle would not refuse the door-to-door business, and pointed to the side of the stone steps in front of the store: "Put it here tomorrow, the electric pipe is enough, and I will charge you thirty yuan a day." ”
In normal times, shopkeepers set up stalls in front of their stores, but they don't have to pay a fee or anything; However, during the weekend market, the stalls in front of the store are rented out. For example, the uncle can set up a stall now, but he has to put it away tomorrow, because someone has already rented the stall.
A stall needs to pay a lease fee of 100 yuan like market management, and it may compensate the store for 10 yuan or 20 yuan, after all, the stall can be regarded as affecting the store's business to a certain extent.
However, compensation varies from place to place, with some places having it and some places not having it at all.
Of course, shopkeepers can set up stalls in front of their own homes, which even the market management has acquiesced, is it possible that you still don't let people do business? Therefore, some shopkeepers rent out the stalls at the entrance privately, and the booth fees charged are much lower than the management fees charged by the market.
Especially the place where the uncle's stall is located is relatively remote, and no one may come to rent it on weekends, so it is no more or no less to charge 30 yuan.
Fang Zheng didn't bargain anymore, and said boldly: "Okay! That's it! Uncle, in that case, I'll put this tool directly here for you. ”
"Don't." Uncle waved his hand: "This is the same thing, business is business, we don't know each other, you put this thing here for me, tomorrow if the number is not right, it will be another troublesome matter, right?" Or do you bring it back yourself and bring it back tomorrow. ”
When it comes to this, it's a bit difficult to say anything more.
Fang Zheng gave a thumbs up to the uncle, this business is done, open!
"Okay, then put it up for me."
Carrying a large box, Fang Zheng began to wander around the market. Compared with the antique market and cultural toy market that Founder visited in the past, there is not much difference in the main categories of the display, and there are all kinds of wood, stone, copper and iron, calligraphy and painting miscellaneous toys.
Maybe there will be a big set tomorrow, and many merchants have rushed over one after another, especially some of them who often rent stalls, and they are more familiar with the local shop owners, so they set up stalls directly.
There are gradually more people in the market, and it is much more interesting to shop. In particular, some "Tibetans" wearing Tibetan clothes and speaking Mandarin with an awkward accent even sell various Tibetan specialties to passing tourists.
Putting aside the truth or falsehood of things for the time being, people are not necessarily authentic Tibetans, but they can't bear the four words, people are stupid and have a lot of money.
On the Tibetan stalls, some tiger bones, Ganoderma lucidum, dzi beads, green pine beeswax, Gabala, are simply unique. In particular, Gabala, a ritual instrument used in Tibetan Buddhism, is made of the skull of a monk, which is very rare, and even fewer are very old. In Fangzheng's impression, it seems that it can be confirmed that it is genuine, and it has been long enough, there is only a string of a big star in the mainland.
Gabala is indeed real, but many of them can only be found in Tibetan temples, and some Gabala circulating on the market are basically imitations. imitation general, with cow bones and the like; If there are high imitations, the source of materials will be abundant, anyway, it is not a big deal that there are fewer bones in a certain grave and a few fewer corpses in the hospital......
On the Tibetan stall in front of him, there are several strings of gabala, and there is a human skull placed there, and I don't know how many lifetimes of mold have been poured, and the dead skull will be put out.
After a short pause, Fang Zheng left, he didn't have any Tibetan cultural complex, and he didn't believe in Buddhism, of course he wasn't interested in these things.
I walked around the market a few times, but I didn't come across anything suitable to buy. There is no way, the things that can be seen are too expensive, and the things that are not eye-catching do not want to buy at all. Just the 100 yuan in Fangzheng's wallet is really not enough to buy things.
After seven o'clock in the evening, even if the street lights were on, it was a little dim, and in order to prevent things from being taken away, the stall owners put away their stalls one after another.
Most of the few remaining stalls are ordinary goods, such as bracelets for ten yuan, wenges, ebony, obsidian, tiger's eye, etc., which are purely some tourist souvenirs.
After walking around again and confirming that there was no legendary good luck in picking up leaks, Fang Zheng returned to the small hotel with his tools.
If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. Although there are similarities between the depiction of charms and carving, they are both sketched one by one, but there are still differences.
The requirements for the spell are relatively high, especially when it comes to the operation and flow of true qi, and the difference is thousands of miles, so there must be no mistakes at all when depicting.
Rune paper drawing talisman needs a special talisman pen, poured with a true qi pen to walk the dragon and snake, in line with the way of heaven and earth vitality operation, this is a disposable rune paper, most of the monks made the talisman is this.
This kind of rune paper is more like a catalyst, and after use, it can stimulate the radical changes of the vitality of heaven and earth, producing the effect of wind, fire, rain and electricity.
A little more advanced is the jade talisman. The jade talisman has relatively high requirements for the texture of the jade material, and it must be able to absorb the vitality of heaven and earth, and usually accumulate in the jade talisman.
The jade talisman used for health preservation, such as the peace talisman, can nourish the human body with the temperature of heaven and earth; The jade talisman used for defense, after being activated, can use the accumulated heaven and earth vitality to build a barrier; The jade talisman of the attack type can be regarded as a bazooka, pointing to where to fight. The lines on the spell are equivalent to a simplified version of the meridians, which can interact with the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi.
The depiction of the charm not only requires the accuracy of the depiction, but also requires the true qi as the introduction.
Engraving is different, the requirements of engraving are much lower, there is no real qi limit, and it does not need to be so precise, it is more about the creator's own creativity, just like painting, after the abdominal draft, the general direction is not wrong, and the rest of the attention to detail is on the line.
Some master-level works, with the form and spirit, are not lower than some simple paper charms in terms of the difficulty of depiction. Of course, considering that only after a person builds a foundation can he have true qi and draw talismans, there is no comparison between the two at all.
What's more, carving spells is completely different from the tools used for carving. Power tools are not the same concept as the rune pen and knife at all, and if you talk about carving alone, the materials are too rich, agate jade, amber beeswax, bone wood, ...... There are many more types than rune paper and jade.
After clamping the chuck and abrasives for the electric drill first, and looking for the feeling, Founder was thinking about his advantages.
After all, there are a lot of carvings on the market now, which is nothing more than the difference between good and bad work, and even some carvings can be carved by machine to make rough embryos, and then through manual refinement, the products made are still beautiful.
Therefore, if you want to make some money and spend money in these two days of bazaar, it is not ordinary, not only to consider the competition issue, but also to consider the problem of labor and time.
So now Founder is clarifying its advantages.
First, with the inheritance of Lu Zu, Founder's foundation is very deep, whether it is Chinese painting or sculpture, Founder's "experience" is very rich, that is to say, according to the shape and material of the material, the appropriate subject matter can be selected, plane carving and three-dimensional carving can be done.
Second, it's speed. The motor that Founder bought is not bad, it is very stable after plugging in the power, and there is very little tremor in the hand. Replaced with a small sharp-needle-shaped grinding wheel, with Fangzheng's control ability, it can be used as a carving knife in Fangzheng's hands. And this "carving knife" does not need to be carved for a moment due to exhaustion. In other words, the speed of the square can be increased as fast as the swish.
These two advantages are enough to ensure Founder's strength. The only thing that worries Fang Zheng is that for the carving world, he is still a nobody, how to attract a group of customers in just two days, this is a big problem.
