Chapter 911: A God-like Knife Worker
Chapter 911: God-like knife work
"Lao Chen, rest assured, we will never say a word!"
Hong Lao's face was serious, and he nodded cautiously, he and Chen Wuji have been fighting all their lives, although they are usually rivals, but they are also the people who know each other best.
The material of the dragon stone species is very important to Chen Wou-ki, and if this material is done well, it will become a representative work of Chen Wou-ki.
In his later years, he was able to use raw materials like dragon stone seeds to continue his last glory, and Hong Lao had an unrelenting envy for Chen Wuji.
Chen Wuji nodded his head and sat down on a sofa in the room.
Chen Lei came over with a basin of hot water and asked Chen Wouji to soak his hands, this is Chen Wouji's habit, he has to soak his hands in hot water before important work, so that he will be more energetic after a while.
After soaking for five minutes, Chen Wuji took out his hand, his wrinkled hands were steaming hot and a little red, and Chen Lei on the side stepped forward and wiped his hands clean with a towel.
After doing all this, Chen Wuji walked to the table.
There was a box on the table, and next to the box was a tool that Chen Wou-Ki often used, and when he walked to the table, Chen Wou-Ki did not sit down, but opened the box and took out the dragonstone jade inside.
Seeing this beautiful jadeite raw material, Huang Hao's eyes instantly straightened.
Like his master, he is full of desire for such good raw materials, but Hong Lao is weak, but he is still in the prime of life. At this time, he could only lament why Chen Wuji, who had sealed the knife, had reappeared in the rivers and lakes, otherwise, with his relationship with Li Yang, this piece of raw material might have fallen into his hands.
But now it's useless, I can only watch others use such good materials.
Fortunately, it was a master who was more famous and of a higher level than him, and although he was a little jealous, he was still very convinced, calmed down, and was ready to learn from Chen Wouji.
"Li Yang, I have carefully calculated this piece of material, after making the bracelet, you can also make two jade plates and a jade pendant!"
Chen Wuji pointed to the material, said slowly, while gesturing, how to use the material, is also a science in jade carving, a good jade carving master, can use limited materials to make more works.
Li Yang nodded slightly, the two jade plates and a jade pendant were already better than he imagined, and he only thought about the two jade pendants at the beginning.
Chen Lao gestured for a while, and then continued: "I plan to make the jade plate into Spring Water and Autumn Mountain, from the materials up and down the jade plate, you can also make a pair of beaded bracelets, and the jade pendant is made into a dragon pendant, and the remaining materials can just be used to make those two pairs of ring noodles!" ”
Chen Wuji finished and looked at Li Yang again.
The raw materials are Li Yang's, and Li Yang has to make an idea of how to do it, this is just his suggestion, this kind of material that has long been extinct must be cautious and cautious.
"Just do what you do, I don't have a problem with what you think is the most appropriate style!"
Li Yang smiled lightly, he really didn't understand how to place it, and he was also very satisfied with Chen Wuji's plan, which was much more tools than he had thought before, which was equivalent to using this raw material more economically.
Hong Lao stood behind and nodded his head in agreement.
Jieyang and Suzhou have one thing very similar, are very economical, the older the jade carving master, the more particular the material, eight million of the material, stunned is able to be used as 10 million.
Chen Wouji's assignment is very appropriate, and it is also very fine, and it makes reasonable use of every penny.
This is also a common characteristic of their southern carvers.
The north is not compatible, the north pursues more of the appearance of the product, they first consider the product, what kind of product is the most suitable, even if there is waste, it doesn't matter.
Under normal circumstances, they waste at least one or two percent of a raw material than in the south, and when they meet people who pursue perfection, they waste more, and some people even waste three or four percent, and even more excessively, they can waste more than half.
The south is very unaccustomed to this habit of the northern jade carving masters, and there have been many debates in the jade carving world for this reason.
In fact, this is also due to historical reasons, the north produces a lot of jade, and the south does not produce or produces very little.
Many of the raw materials from the south were transported from the north, but now it is okay that planes and trains can be delivered to the premises quickly, and as long as there are them, they can be sent over as many as possible, but in the past it was different.
Jade itself is a valuable item, even jade ore is worth a lot of money, and such a tool is more troublesome to transport.
In ancient times, there were no trains and planes, and many jade raw materials were transported from other places, and it took longer to send them to the south.
The same raw materials, after arriving in the south, the cost is much higher than that in the north, and it is very rare, so it has developed the habit of saving materials for jade carving in the south, and in the eyes of the jade carvers in the north, this has become gas.
Think about it, the northern jade carving masters are centered in Beijing, what kind of place is there, the capital of several dynasties, the best raw materials in the world are gathered there first, and it is naturally much stronger than the south.
Because of this, among the four top masters, Hong Lao and Chen Wou-Ki have a closer relationship, and both of them are representatives of the south.
Li Yang did not veto, and Chen Wuji officially polished the raw materials of this dragon stone according to his own thoughts.
The bracelet is the most wasteful, and the material left is the most, so the jade pendant is ready to use the material taken out of the bracelet to carve, and Chen Wuji is the first to prepare to make the two jade plates.
Spring water autumn mountain jade plate.
Spring water and autumn mountains are not actually referring to landscapes, but to two stories.
During the Song Dynasty, there were two ethnic minorities in the north, Khitan and Jurchen, both of which had the habit of hunting, which were divided into autumn hunting and spring hunting.
Spring water jade, carved is Haidongqing to catch swans, people in Liaojin and Jinjin, are good at catching eagles, falconry, they domesticate a kind of eagle that is not big, but it is very ferocious, this kind of eagle is called the eagle, and the people of Liaojin and Jin countries call this kind of eagle Haidongqing.
Spring hunting is a very solemn and grand event for them, and they have to make a lot of preparations, as well as a complete set of laws.
First of all, their emperor had to look at the sky first, and as soon as he saw the swan coming, he ordered the sea to be released. The swan is much bigger than Haidongqing, and it is not easy for the eagle to go up and catch the swan directly, it can't move the swan, what should I do? Hai Dongqing has developed a special skill, it sees a swan, and after finding the target, it flies higher than the swan.
Then, it grabbed the swan's head from the air and held it down until it hit the ground. At this time, the falconer who has been following the eagle will run up, grab the swan, pick the swan's head with a spiny goose cone, and feed the brains inside to Hai Dongqing.
The swan's brain is Hai Dongqing's favorite food.
After successfully hunting the swans, they plucked off the largest feathers of the swans and regarded them as trophies, the biggest and best of which was a tribute to the emperor. The more swans are harvested, it indicates that life in the past will be smoother, the city will be happier, and the warriors who capture more will get rich rewards.
This is the origin of spring water jade, no matter what kind of spring water jade, the city above has Haidong green and swans, and there are traces of water lines, water lines represent the meaning of spring.
Chunshui jade is a type of jade, which originated in Liaojin, and there are still many people who make this type of jade.
Chen Wou-Ki made the spring water jade card, and hoped that Li Yang could be like an eagle and swim in the sky forever.
As for Akiyama, it is much simpler to understand, Akiyama belongs to autumn hunting, hunting on the mountain, hunting in the mountains is the most common, the best prey is the deer, and the ornamentation of the Akiyama jade plate first has a deer.
The second is the tiger, and the tiger here is not the tiger they feed, but the hunter, which means that their hunter is as fierce as a tiger.
The spring water and autumn mountain jade cards are exactly a pair, all with the meaning of bravery.
Chen Wou-Ki is a southerner, and the spring water and autumn mountain jade are purely northern stories, and being a pair of tools is also a challenge for Chen Wou-ki.
After the jade material was separated, Chen Wuji sat there, his face became extremely focused, and began to work.
Chen Wouji's hand was very flexible, and the drill bit quickly sharpened out the rough model of the jade plate, looking at the jade card in front of him, Chen Wouji smiled with satisfaction.
Receiving the special carving knife handed over by Chen Lei, Chen Wuji's hand holding the carving knife kept fluttering on the jadeite raw material, and Hong Lao, Huang Hao and Li Yang all widened their eyes.
When it came to the actual carving, Chen Wou-Ki showed everyone his god-like knife work.
"Yin and Yang carving?"
Watching Chen Wou-Ki hold the carving knife and flip it up and down flexibly, Li Yang's mind naturally presented the name.
This is Chen Wou-ki's specialty, yin and yang carvings are incompatible, and it is not easy to fully coordinate them, and it is not easy to juxtapose rigidity and softness, and only Chen Wou-ki, who has Tai Chi skills, can use this technique perfectly.
Huang Hao looked more intent, and he recognized this technique after Chen Wuji moved the knife.
The jade carving technique of yin and yang carving, Chen Wuji is the second, no one dares to be the first, even Hong Lao can't compare to him, Tai Chi Gong pays attention to the harmony of yin and yang, Chen Wuji has the roots of martial arts, and he is indeed cheaper than them.
Chen Lao's carving was carved quickly, and it didn't take long for the eagle's appearance to be slowly revealed.
Hong Lao, who was standing behind, nodded silently.
Chen Wouji's speed is one of the fastest among our masters, in addition to physical strength, it also has a lot to do with the knife technique he is good at.
On the corner of the jade plaque, the sharp beak of the eagle's head gradually appeared, and it brought out a chill before it was formed.
"Double groove insidious lines!"
Li Yang's heart moved, and he remembered a jade carving technique, when carving the eagle's beak, Chen Wuji obviously used this technique, skillfully combining the curvature and sharpness of the eagle's beak together, not looking at the other, just looking at the curvature, he knew that it was a very fierce bird's mouth.
Chen Lei was also unusually concerned on the side, and every time Chen Wuji looked up, he sent the knife to him.
Every time Chen Wuji changed the knife, Hong Lao Du looked very attentive, the fewer knives used when carving, the better, and some people used a knife, so that it was more familiar.
However, there are many advantages to using more knives, which can make the shape more changeable and more spiritual.
