Chapter Seventy-Five: See the Apprentice Again

ps: The double shift starts today, the first one is 9 o'clock in the morning, and the second one is 7:30 in the evening

Shopkeeper Zhao was stunned.

When he was high-spirited and famous, he didn't care about how many people cried and shouted to worship him as a teacher. Later, when the hand was abolished, who still wants to worship him as a teacher? He himself gave up the idea of accepting disciples.

It's just that in the dead of night, I occasionally regret it. I regret that I was young and frivolous, and I didn't accept an apprentice earlier to pass on the master's skills.

But I can't really be a teacher if my hand is crippled. From a piece of jade to a piece of jade, it takes four steps.

Xiangyu, rowing, pondering, grinding.

Xiangyu is "looking", designing and intending. This can be taught with a single mouth.

But you have to teach you how to draw a line, right? When pondering, you also have to demonstrate the guillotine, chisel, punch, press, hook, and smooth! If you move your mouth, he'll be able to do it? That's a real genius! What are people looking for you to do, people are masters when they buy books!

Therefore, he can't be a master anymore.

"Hehe, Grandpa Zhao is now more than willing but not strong enough, he can't hold the knife at all, he can't hold the tuo, I'm afraid he can't be your master." Shopkeeper Zhao had some regrets.

"It's okay, I'm smart, I'll be there as soon as you say it!"

Zhao shopkeeper

"Hehe, so smart, then I'll tell you to try." What a lovely kid!

Shopkeeper Zhao picked out a relatively large reads from a small pile of jade materials on the table. The smaller the better, the more difficult it is to operate, Changsheng is a novice, of course, it is appropriate to take the big one.

This pile of jade materials is what he usually uses to play with, and it is destined to be wasted, and he is not distressed at all by playing with Changsheng.

"Come, let's learn Xiangyu first, Xiangyu is"

Changsheng listened attentively. Ask questions from time to time. Of course, it's all pretended

"Okay, you draw a picture and I'll see it."

Changsheng picked up the pen and simply drew an orchid.

"Yo, that's a good drawing! Ever learned to draw? "And it looks very charming! It seems that he is very artistic, such a person learns carving, and often gets twice the result with half the effort.

"Yes."

"Come, let's learn to paddle now. It's about putting your design. How do you draw it on the material? To be based on the

"Come on, you try it."

Changsheng picked up the jade material. Finish painting in three or two.

Zhao shopkeeper

"Good drawing. Okay, let's learn to ponder now, which is the most critical step, and the most complicated step. Let's start with the tools we use."

In fact, Changsheng had already seen it, but she couldn't believe it. Her guesses were true! It's just a jade carving, don't you want to be so troublesome!

There are more than a dozen large and small tops alone! One will use this, one will use that! Do you still have a water spray when grinding? And what kind of shellac, cowhide dipping. Pearl mortar also has to be used?

You can't do a day of work just like that!

Changsheng operated according to the words of the shopkeeper Zhao while scolding. A little absent-minded, but she heard the principle, and how to use it is not simple. It's just that I'm not skilled.

But stumble for an hour. Finally finished carving an orchid.

Shopkeeper Zhao only felt that his heart was pounding! It's going to jump out! He also pretended to be casual and asked, "Changsheng, you're quite skilled." Studied before? ”

Changsheng didn't raise his head, looking at this little grass that took the longest time to complete in his life, hoping to see something different, and it was not in vain that she "carved carefully" and wasted an hour.

It's a pity that there are people who are different, but they are uglier than others! No, the first finished product of her thirteen-year-old practice seems to be at this level.

"No, I've never seen it before, and today is the first time I've practiced." She didn't know what Shopkeeper Zhao was excited about, and she was worried when she heard the sound of her heartbeat.

"Then you're amazing." Shopkeeper Zhao licked his lips, if this is really the first time, it will be a real genius! At this level, they have caught up with the master in his shop!

This is his apprentice

"Then let's learn the last step, grinding, that is, polishing"

What the? How much does it take for the machine to polish? Does it take longer to polish by hand? Half-machine, half-manual to be

Forget it, she doesn't want to know, she regrets it, she doesn't want to learn reads;

"Well, that's pretty much it. This one will be alive in a few days. ”

Shopkeeper Zhao rubbed his hands: "That, Changsheng, you just said that you want to worship me as a teacher?" ”

Changsheng looked up at him, wanting to say that you heard it wrong, but when he looked at his worried expression, hey, he was also a poor person.

"Yes, Grandpa Zhao wants to take me?"

"Collect, collect! Of course! You see, when is it convenient for us to hold an apprenticeship ceremony? "In the traditional industry, apprenticeship is still very traditional.

Oops, forgot to ask if you want to kowtow!

"That, I already have a martial arts master, he doesn't want me to kowtow to others again, you see, I worship you as a teacher, and I also take all the obligations of my apprentice, but this kowtow"

"No, no, kowtow is not popular now, just toast a cup of tea!"

That's fine.

The next day, Zhao Shengyan met with Mrs. Chen to discuss Changsheng's apprenticeship.

Mrs. Chen muttered in her heart, her girl is really smart, she can think of such a good way! This Zhao Shengyan, she read it and inquired, it's quite reliable!

The apprenticeship ceremony was held at Zhao Shengyan's home.

In addition to Zhao Shengyan's family, there were also his friends for many years, friends from the jade world, friends from the carving world, and friends from the antique world.

Full of old man!

Zhao Shengyan is fifty-nine years old this year, and his friends are almost all of this age, and the youngest is in his forties. In addition to Changsheng, the youngest is his grandson Zhao Manyu, who is sixteen years old this year.

Zhao Manyu has been in a trance since the first time he saw Changsheng. His little princess, his little princess, his little princess!

He was just about to shout excitedly when he was stopped by Changsheng. Zhao Manyu immediately turned into a sister control, and his little princess became his grandfather's apprentice, so wouldn't it be his care! It's his little sister!

Hahaha~~ Princess Yunyun is his sister! He kindly let his parents go!

Changsheng looked at Zhao Manyu who was in a trance, and his heart was full of helplessness: why was she so ill-fated! How did you meet an unreliable classmate! But now it's too late to regret it. I hope he is stronger than the second senior brother.

"Come on, come on, Changsheng, this is your Grandpa Tang, you saw it years ago, this is Grandpa Song, the boss of Jubaozhai, this is Grandpa Luo. The owner of Feng Yaxuan. This is Grandpa Chang."

Changsheng greeted humbly and politely on his face, how well-behaved and well-behaved! In fact, my heart is vomiting blood: it makes you soft-hearted and makes you suffer for yourself. It's okay to find yourself a bunch of grandpa!

After the ceremony, everyone did not leave, but sat in the living room and chatted.

Although Zhao Shengyan is useless, he has been running Biyuxuan for so many years. The family is rich. Now this courtyard is not big, but it is also square. One in and one out, there is a big courtyard in the middle, and there is no 10 million that cannot be brought down.

It's not easy for so many old guys in a circle to get together, and everyone just took the opportunity to chat about reads;.

"Old Don. Myanmar public market in March, do you want to go? Someone asked.

"Go, of course! If I don't go again, I'm going to run out of stock! It's thanks to our immortality. This little lucky star brings me good luck. Old Tang looked at Changsheng with a smile.

There are people around who don't know why, so I'm curious to ask. When asked, they were all amazed and praised Changsheng's good luck!

"I'm going to take a look, I heard this is the last public sale?" Boss Song said.

"I don't believe it. What the last time, I think, is a gimmick made by the Myanmar government. Last year's public market was too miserable, and the secret bid only sold more than 40%! I'm afraid that this year, like last year, scares us! Boss Luo said.

"Yes, I agree with Lao Luo. In the past few years, jadeite has risen too hot, and the fire is too much! Many people follow the trend as soon as their minds are hot, and now the supply exceeds demand. In just a few years, what used to be a few hundred yuan is now tens of thousands! The common people are not stupid, who will buy it. Who can afford it? So the days of sky-high prices for bricks have passed, and the Myanmar government is in a hurry. ”

"But I've heard that they're not going to sell rough anymore, they're going to sell finished products." The old man spoke with a sarcastic tone.

Everyone paused, and then burst into laughter.

I really admire the Burmese man who came up with this idea, how big a face does he have? Don't you even look in the mirror?

The jade carvers in Myanmar, the Chinese do not call them masters, they are called carvers! They don't know anything but egg noodles and bracelets!

Of course, it is not absolute, but there is also one or two masters?

At this overall level, do you want to export finished products? Then they will starve to death.

Now the low-end jade is becoming more and more difficult to sell, and some stores in Jieyang have not even opened for several months! The pendant is almost unsellable, just pointing to the beautifully carved ornaments!

If there are only egg noodles and bracelets on the market, Myanmar, which is still in the middle and low grade, will be destroyed.

"Don't laugh, don't laugh, I've heard that if any master goes to Myanmar, he will be visa-free, and there will be a lot of benefits." The person who speaks tells others not to laugh, but he himself can't stop laughing.

"There you go! I heard that you can marry several wives in Myanmar, so go quickly. ”

"Hahahaha"

Changsheng rolled his eyes, what a man, he is seventy or eighty years old, and he still wants to marry a wife. I'm not afraid of the death of a beautiful woman.

However, she checked some information before, and has a little understanding of the current jewelry industry gambling stone industry, and knows what a public market is.

The Myanmar public market is the largest and most complete in the world, and it is also the original jade public market. Jadeite rough is only produced in Myanmar, and the rough stones produced by each jadeite mine must be handed over to the government for numbering, and the annual collective auction, that is, the public auction.

Don't sell it privately! Without a transport permit issued by the Myanmar government, it is smuggling.

The mainland also holds this public market and that public market, but the wool is bought from the Myanmar public market and then sold.

Myanmar holds two to four public fairs a year, and the Myanmar Jewelry Fair in March, Su will definitely participate, because they participate every year!

Changsheng also wants to go! (To be continued)
