Chapter 074: The Carving Knife
As Fang Changde estimated, it took 250,000 and thousands to complete all the formalities, and after a busy afternoon, Wang Meng finally got the door key as he wished!
From now on, that bungalow is Wang Meng's in the legal sense!
Things can go so smoothly, naturally thanks to the help of Tao Daming's uncle Fang Changde. Wang Meng originally wanted to invite the two of them to a meal, but Fang Changde refused on the grounds that he was too busy with work!
"Wang Meng, my uncle won't go, I'll go!" Tao Daming patted Wang Meng's shoulder, with a greedy expression.
"No problem, what do you want to eat?" Even if Tao Daming doesn't mention it, Wang Meng will not forget his friend!
At Tao Daming's suggestion, the two went to a good restaurant for a big meal!
After eating and drinking, Tao Daming picked his teeth with a toothpick and asked, "Wang Meng, what are you going to do in a minute?" ”
Wang Meng looked out the window and found that it was still early, so he said, "I'll wait a moment and want to take a look inside the bungalow!" ”
"You're in a hurry, aren't you?" Squinting his eyes, Tao Daming laughed, "Anyway, I don't have anything to do, so I'll go with you!" ”
"It's just that I'm worried that I don't have the labor to help clean up!" Wang Meng made a joke.
After paying the bill, on the way to the bungalow, Wang Meng asked Tao Daming about carving!
"Da Ming, I remember you told me that your family is in the carving business, right?" Wang Meng asked with a very casual look.
"Yes!" Tao Daming nodded, and at the same time looked at Wang Meng curiously, "Why did you suddenly remember to ask about this?" ”
"It's nothing, I saw a book in the library today that there is a very beautiful jade carving, and I was interested, and I just thought that your family was in this business, so I wanted to ask about this!" Wang Meng said.
"What do you want to ask?" Tao Daming smiled, and showed an expression that you are asking the right person.
Wang Meng actually didn't know what he wanted to ask, but after thinking about it, he felt that since he was going to start learning carving, he must use tools.
Sister Ghost said that only one knife is allowed, but there is no rule on what kind of knife it is, can you find a tool that suits me?
"Daming, just tell me what kind of knife will be used in carving, maybe one day when I am interested, I will also learn carving!" Wang Meng said.
"You want to learn carving?" Tao Daming was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said, "Okay, I can accept you as a closed disciple, as for the tuition fee......
Seeing Tao Daming's appearance as a master, Wang Meng hurriedly smiled: "You still want to teach me before you have a teacher, I think it will be almost the same when I teach you in the future!" ”
Tao Daming smiled, and then asked seriously: "Wang Meng, if you really want to learn, I can help you ask my grandfather, although my grandfather's carving skills dare not say that they are the first in the country, they can also be regarded as famous teachers!" ”
Wang Meng was a little moved, he didn't expect Tao Daming to be so enthusiastic, not only asking his uncle to help, but also introducing himself to his grandfather, such a friend is really hard to find!
"Hey, what are you laughing at, I'm not kidding you, if you really want to learn, you can call my grandpa right now!" Tao Daming said that he really took out the mobile phone.
"Forget it, let's talk about it when I make up my mind and want to learn!" Wang Meng didn't want to owe Tao Daming too much, besides, he learned to carve in order to condense qi, and his carving would only rely on a knife.
"The engraving will be carved according to different materials, and the knives used are also different, which one do you want to ask?" Tao Daming put the phone back in his pocket and asked.
"Just talk about it!"
Wang Meng just wanted to know what knife he chose to be the easiest to use, as for the rest, it didn't matter, anyway, he used the attachment of "qi" to achieve the effect of carving stones, which had little to do with the hardness and length of the knife.
The key point is that it has to be handy!
Maybe I didn't practice my carving skills, but the knife skills were practiced!
Wang Meng couldn't help but smile, he felt that it was very possible!
"You're too general, there are a lot of knives used in carving!" Tao Daming sorted out his thoughts for a while, and then asked, "Round knife, have you ever heard of this kind of knife?" ”
Shaking his head, Wang Meng asked, "Is it the kind of knife that has a round shape?" ”
"Don't be funny!" Tao Daming smiled, "The edge of the round knife is arc-shaped, mostly used for circles and round indentations, and it is also very useful for carving traditional flowers, such as the round surface of flower leaves, petals and flower branches. It's not called a round knife because of its shape! ”
Wang Meng also smiled, not daring to interject casually.
"The horizontal movement of the round knife is more labor-saving, and it can adapt to large ups and downs and small changes. Moreover, the lines of the round knife are uncertain, so it is flexible and easy to explore. According to different uses, the models of round knives are different, and the size range is basically between 5 cm and 0.5 cm. ”
In order to show off that he is an insider, Tao Daming added: "The two corners of the knife edge of the round carving figure should be ground off and formed in an arc shape, otherwise when carving clothing patterns or other dents, not only can it not be pushed, but also both sides of the dent road will be damaged." ”
"If you do relief, you should keep the two corners of the knife edge, and use the function of its corner tip to carve the corner of the ground, so it should be equipped with two types. The round knife also has the difference between positive and negative, the bevel is in the groove, the back of the knife is straight for the positive round knife, it eats the knife is deeper, and it is most suitable for round carving, especially in the billet and billet digging stage. ”
"Da Ming, you know enough!"
Afraid that Tao Daming would continue to play, Wang Meng hurriedly praised him.
"That's it! You don't look at who I am! Although I don't like carving much, I also come from a famous family anyway, and I have been exposed to ......."
"Okay, praise you for two sentences, you will go to heaven, don't ink, do you have any other knives?" Wang Meng glanced at Tao Daming.
"What to do in such a hurry! The next one to introduce you is the flat knife! ”
This time, without waiting for Wang Meng to ask, Tao Daming continued: "The edge of the flat knife is straight, which is mainly used for chopping and smoothing the unevenness of the material surface to make it smooth and traceless. The large model can also be used to chisel large, with a sense of block surface, and the method of use, such as the brushstroke effect of painting, appears strong and powerful, vivid and natural......"
"The middle steel knife has a straight mouth and slopes on both sides. Also known as 'seal knife'. ”
"A triangular knife has a triangular edge, because its front is on the left and right sides, and the sharp set point is on the middle corner."
“……”
Listening to Tao Daming's gushing narration, Wang Meng felt dizzy!
Oh my God, there are so many knives used in carving, how long would it take me to learn if I had to learn the same!
It's okay, it's good that I just need to pick a knife!
Secretly relieved, Wang Meng now began to understand how wise the ghost's request was!
It is estimated that it will be a headache for a person like him who is a halfway monk to fully master the use of so many knives!
