Under some dazzling table lamps, the hard diamond drill bit gently glides over a pale cyan jade like the tip of a pen, and the slender blue lines smoothly extend from under the tip of the pen.

Chen Ran's eyes stared intently at this piece of jade, and his breathing was gentle, as if he was afraid of alarming something. If you look closely, you can see that his right arm has not moved at all from beginning to end, only his wrist has moved!

And his right wrist was as flexible as a snake, as soft as a bone......

Suddenly, the diamond pen in Chen Ran's hand was slammed, and with the fall of the tip of the pen, suddenly, the image of Maitreya Buddha with a big belly and a smile appeared vividly in front of Chen Rui's eyes.

Chen Ran looked at the Maitreya Buddha that had been formed in his hand, and couldn't help but exhale lightly, although he almost repeated the same action every day, but every time he carved, he always held twelve points of caution.

It's not just about worrying about damaging the rough and having to suffer a lot of losses, it's also an attitude!

And he knew that if he wanted to go further on this road, he had to have such an attitude.

The tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and Chen Ran suddenly felt a feeling of dizziness coming from his brain, but after seeing the slightly dim luster of this Maitreya Buddha pendant, he immediately forcibly lifted his spirits again.

As the saying goes, "jade can't be made without cutting." "Although this jade pendant has been formed, it is still missing the last process: polishing!

Polishing is a very important and irreplaceable step in jade carving.

No matter how you carve and polish, the surface of the jade piece is always rough, not showing the crystal clear beauty of the jade, only the perfect polishing can make the jade table xiàn out of the warm and smooth appearance, in order to make the jade have a noble temperament, inch can show the true value of jade.

Polishing mainly refers to grinding the surface of jade to make it smooth and bright, and more beautiful, otherwise no matter how beautiful the jade is, it is also a semi-finished product without polishing.

Chen Ran casually picked up a piece of gauze from the shabby desk in front of him and gently wiped it on the jade pendant, his movements were skillful and natural, he couldn't see the slightest hindrance, and his face was still as focused as before.

After about half an hour, the polishing process of the jade was finally completed.

Holding the jade in his hand above his head, Chen Ran looked at it quietly, the surface of the polished jade pendant exuded a faint light, looking at the light, it gave people a crystal clear feeling, and the smiling Maitreya Buddha seemed to have been opened......

It was only at this time that Chen Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief completely, the quality of the jade was very good, and he should be able to get a good salary.

Chen Ran's source of life is to rely on carving this low-grade jade, since graduating from university, he has not stopped every day, repeating the work day after day, and now it has been more than a year!

Pulling open the drawer, taking out one from a pile of jewelry boxes, and putting the jade into it, Chen Ran found his mobile phone and looked at the time, and found that it was late, so he hurriedly cleaned up the messy room.

Chen Ran's room is very small, only less than forty square meters, there is a half-old work table in it, there are some jade carving tools on the table, in addition to the work table is relatively clean, the rest of the room is piled up with mountains of sundries, these sundries are also varied, piles of old books, scattered all kinds of raw materials.

In this humble place, Chen Rui has lived there for a whole year.

The place where he lives is on the outskirts of this city, and his room is almost the worst house in this suburban village, a small room like his, you only need to pay one hundred and fifty yuan a month to move in, which is much cheaper than other rooms that are often two or three hundred, which he finally found.

For a poor person like Chen Ran, there is really no cheaper place than here. What's more, in his opinion, he is already quite good in this way, but there is a family of three living in a room of the same size opposite him.

After tidying up the room, Chen Ran carefully put the small box containing the jade into his pocket.

In February, the night in the city is long and the days are short, just after six o'clock the sky outside slowly darkened, the street lights on both sides of the road gradually lit up, so that the city continues to be bright, the crowd of people who get off work is like a huge spider web in the streets and alleys of the city, and all kinds of sounds echo in the sky above the city......

Colorful lights turn the streets into an underground labyrinth.

Sensing the slight coolness, Chen Ran buttoned up his open jacket and looked up at the sky, this winter came later, it was not very cold a year ago, and it was so suddenly cold after the year, thinking that he was awakened by the cold in the middle of the night last night, he unconsciously shivered.

Passing through the street of this village, it is a very large antique city, Zhongdu is the capital city of Central Plains Province, and the Central Plains undoubtedly has an irreplaceable role in the history and culture of China.

Passing through the antique city flower market, Chen Ran walked towards a jade shop.

The jade shop is not so much a jade shop as a grocery store, the name is Baoyu Pavilion, compared to the other rows of antique shops with simple decoration, Baoyu Pavilion looks a bit vulgar, but for Chen Rui, there is a kind of intimate feeling, which makes him involuntarily think of it......

In the Baoyu Pavilion, there was silence, only an old man of fifty or sixty years old stood at the counter, the old man had half-white hair, a pair of reading glasses, and was reading a book with his head down, and when he noticed Chen Ran coming in, he raised his head and greeted: "Xiao Ran is here, I'm waiting for you to close the door!" ”

"Yes." Chen Ran responded, and then took out the small box containing jade from his pocket, handed it to Uncle Liang, but said in his mouth: "Uncle Liang, why did you close the door so early today?" ”

“…… cough cough cough cough ......" Liang Bo opened his mouth and was about to answer, but suddenly coughed violently, Chen Ran hurriedly stepped forward and patted his back, Liang Bo coughed for a while before he came back to his senses, waved his hand towards Chen Ran, and said with a wry smile: "People are getting old, their health is getting worse and worse, and there is no business in this store, so just close the store early!" ”

As he spoke, he opened the box, took out the jade, and groped for a magnifying glass to look up his head slightly, and muttered softly: "Well, yes, Xiao Ran's craftsmanship is getting higher and higher, thanks to you, or I would have lost a lot of business in this store." ”

Chen Ran smiled slightly, but didn't answer, he knew that Liang Bo was just encouraging him, carvers like him didn't talk about other places, just in this antique city, I don't know how many there were, and although his skills were constantly improving, he was only barely getting started.

Liang Bo also knew Chen Ran's temper, smiled, put down the jade, turned around and took out a fifty ticket from the cash cabinet, paused, and took out two twenty tickets and handed them to Chen Ran.

Chen Ran was stunned, and looked at Uncle Liang with a little surprise: "Uncle Liang, why are there so many?" ”

There are two ways for him to pick up the work here in Liangbo, one is to buy the rough stone himself, carve it into jade, add a salary, and resell it to Liang Bo's shop, and the other is that the customer does not look down on the carved jade, so he provides the rough stone himself or buys the rough stone in the store, and makes some requests for the carver to carve.

However, the second kind of time is very rare, only occasionally, mainly Chen Ran's carvings are low-grade jade, and it is rare for customers to be so troublesome, only when some young people who pursue mood or have any special significance.

Chen Ran's carvings are all small pieces, and one piece can earn about forty to fifty, and if it is a little more, it is more than sixty, which is almost what he is worth, and there is also Liang Bo who takes care of him, or his worth is only twenty or thirty.

Chen Ran basically maintains one piece a day, which is already his limit, and the most he earns in a day is only more than 70 yuan.

Unexpectedly, this time Uncle Liang gave him 90 yuan directly!

He knew very well that he was not worth so much.

Liang Bo looked at Chen Ran with a smile, and when he saw the touched look on Chen Ran's face, he understood what he was thinking, and couldn't help but feel relieved: "Take it, this is what you deserve, don't you see that your craftsmanship has improved a lot, this Maitreya Buddha is carved very well, and the water is also good, it should be able to sell for a good price, and it won't let me lose money." ”

Although he heard Uncle Liang say this, Chen Ran also understood that Uncle Liang was taking care of himself, he hesitated for a moment, then took it, but silently thought in his heart that if he had the opportunity in the future, he would definitely repay Uncle Liang well.

He knew how much the old man in front of him had helped him in the past year, if it weren't for him, Chen Ran believed that the current life would be so far away for him, and it was even very likely that he would stay in prison......

After staying in the Baoyu Pavilion for a while, Liang Bo gave him two pieces of raw stone material and carved them into a couple pendant, and there was no requirement for what to carve into, but about this, it was obvious that Liang Bo believed in Chen Ran very much.

Although Chen Ran's craft is just getting started, in the eyes of Liang Bo, Chen Ran is a carver with a lot of ideas, and if you want to become a master carver, this is an indispensable innate condition.

After responding, Chen Ran was about to leave, but at this time, Liang Bo suddenly stopped him: "Xiao Ran, wait a minute!" ”

Chen Ran stopped, turned around and looked at Liang Bo suspiciously: "Is there anything else?" Liang Bo. ”

Liang Bo nodded, and looked at Chen Ran with a smile: "I almost forgot about it, there is one more thing, I met a friend who forgot her year at noon today, she is a big person in the collection world, she is very famous, and she has a wide range of doors, and I suddenly remembered you when I ate with her at noon." It's a wild way for a person like you, and there's basically no way out, unless you can have a master carver to take you. Thinking of this, I mentioned it to her by the way, and asked her to introduce you to a master carver, but I didn't expect her to agree......"

Before Uncle Liang's words could speak, Chen Ran's eyes lit up, and then a burst of emotion appeared in his heart, Uncle Liang, I was thinking about how to repay you, but I didn't expect you to send me a great favor again......

If Chen Ran still has the confidence to repay the favor he owed to Uncle Liang before, then now he has no confidence at all in this favor, and this favor is not small!

In the circle of carvers, almost every beginner carver has a dream, that is, suddenly a master carver takes a fancy to him and takes him as an apprentice, just like everyone dreams of winning the grand prize of five million.

The difference between having a famous teacher and groping for oneself is too great.

It's a world of difference!

Even if you don't learn any skills from a famous teacher, but just the identity of a famous master and apprentice, your value will change drastically, just like Cinderella suddenly became a little swan......

The gap between the rich and the poor between the carvers is huge, and a beginner carver like Chen Ran is worth thirty or forty, which is still the reason why Liang Bo takes care of him, in fact, his current value is one or twenty, and this person may not let you carve it.

And it is normal for a master carver to pay hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of dollars at every turn, and even some masters, if you are not a human being, you will not carve any money.

That's the gap!

I have to say that for Chen Ran, this is a great opportunity

"Tomorrow you won't work, come over at noon." Liang Bo saw the look of surprise on Chen Ran's face, and couldn't help but smile, he hadn't seen such an expression on this young man's face for a long time.

"Thank you Uncle Liang!" Chen Ran straightened his mind, nodded to Uncle Liang, and then turned around and walked out of Baoyu Pavilion.

But he didn't know ......

After saying goodbye to Uncle Liang, Chen Ran walked along the antique street towards the way back, although he haunts the antique city every day, but in fact, except for a certain understanding of jade, the rest is considered to be ignorant.

Like many collectibles markets in China, there are not too many tourists who usually come here, most of them are tourists from other places, but when it comes to weekends or holidays, it must be another bustling scene, on the one hand, many people have time to try their luck on weekends and holidays to see if they can find satisfactory collections, on the other hand, many small traders in the surrounding areas also come to admire, a newspaper or a piece of flannel has also become a counter, and all kinds of old gadgets are placed on the top. Get a small stool in the back and sit down, and the business will be opened!

Although it is already dark, there are still a lot of stalls on both sides of the road, and even the lights are turned on, today is not a Sunday or a holiday, but there are not many people during the day, and there are more people scattered at night, perhaps because they are busy with work during the day and go out for a stroll at night.

The most of the people who come and go are young men and women, but they are all wandering, rarely stay in front of a stall for a few minutes, and most of the people who buy are handicrafts, and the price is also ten or eight yuan, which is relatively cheap, far from being a valuable collection.

Chen Ran passed by every day, he was used to it, but he didn't look around, unless he passed by a stall selling jade, he would stop and stop, this is also to observe and learn, but most of the jade is machine carving, and he lacks creativity, so he lost interest.

Just as he was about to leave, suddenly, in the corner of his eye, a golden light flashed like golden lightning......
