Chapter 7: The Amazing Rally
The brothers are talking, and the work in their hands can't be idle, the eldest brother prunes the branches, and Yang Bin carves them. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Why do you want to carve bonsai, in fact, it is based on the characteristics of the mulberry style, the mulberry tree itself is vigorous and powerful, and there is a kind of simplicity in the bending, if it is made in the form of a horizontal, waterfront or jungle is unreliable, the only thing that can be done is a dry bonsai.
Imagine the mottled bark of the tree, revealing a few small corroded holes under the tree, withered like peaks, withered roots like claws, like mountains but not mountains, like scenery but not scenery. On the other side of the tree, there are green branches and green leaves, full of vitality, is this kind of allegory alluded to the meaning of dead wood in spring?
To carve it is to let it reveal more dryness, and let the flavor of history penetrate into it. Of course, the use of carving techniques is not generalized, it is just a kind of decoration, you use it to make the bonsai appear more natural, more flavorful.
If you do too much decoration on the bonsai, it is not impossible, but in that case, you need more time and old techniques, so that the carved place slowly blends into the flavor of history, and makes it look unobtrusive and natural.
Yang Bin doesn't have so much time, he can only try to work the original pile, and when he digs, he has noticed whether the stump has a section or erosion, if there is one, dig it, if there is no first few knives, and then dig it after a few years to meet the requirements.
After one o'clock in the night, after finally planting all the trees, Yang Bin found another sprayer, mixed the nutrient solution he had made in the morning with water, and sprayed it evenly on the stump.
Time flies, and before I know it, I come to May, which is a busy season for farming, but also a harvest season. In the past few days, his parents have to be busy cleaning up the rice fields, Yang Bin is also busy harvesting rapeseed, and his sister-in-law also wants to help, but Yang Bin's family is not allowed, one is because the sister-in-law has not been in good health since giving birth to the child, and the other is that the family has opened an online store, although the benefits are not too good, but two or three customers can be received every day. There is another one, the eldest brother goes home to eat after work at noon every day, everyone goes to work, who will cook!
At noon on this day, **** rode a two-eight-bar bicycle back home as usual, there was no rapeseed to harvest today, and he walked into his younger brother's 'plastic courtyard'.
He hasn't been here for a few days, he has been to work during this time, and when he has free time, he is not busy helping the family harvest rapeseeds, or planting seedlings in the field, and the bonsai is managed by the younger brother since it was planted.
Unexpectedly, when he walked into this place again today, it was completely beyond his ideal range, only to see the stumps of trees standing in clay pots of different sizes, and the leaves of the trees naturally stretched out, and many fruits had already borne under the green leaves, some of which were pale green, and some of which had turned red to ripen.
"This, this, how is this possible?"
Looking at the scene in front of him and rubbing his eyes vigorously, he couldn't believe that this was a stump planted by himself, and this was still one of those stumps that did not have a trace of bare branches and leaves.
"Zhou Li, Zhou Li!" Shouted twice.
"So?" Zhou Li ran out of the hall.
"Zhou Li, come and see, look at these bonsai made by my little brother, why do they grow leaves so quickly? And the fruit was taken. **** wondered.
"Oh, what did I think you were calling me for? What's so strange about this, from the third day you planted it, this tree is like eating prolactin, I asked my uncle why this tree grows so fast, he explained that it was because he used the kind of nutrient solution given by his friend, that kind of nutrient solution is specially used to cultivate rare plants, if it doesn't work, can others use it on rare plants? Zhou Li looked at her husband and explained indifferently.
"I see, I said how did this tree grow so fast?" Enlightenment.
"Anything else? There's another customer waiting for me to reply. Zhou Li said.
"Got a customer? Then you go get busy, I'll take a look again, this guy is good-looking, I haven't seen such a beautiful mulberry tree when I'm so big! "**** hehe smirked, this is my own hands, I watched the trees grow with my own eyes, look at these shapes, and my heart is called a comfort.
"Look at you stupid, just steal the fun! Uncle said that these trees will be on the market in two days, and then our online store will be able to put some products on the shelves, and the scope of business can also be expanded. Zhou Li looked at her husband's appearance and joked with a smile.
She looked at the trees, and she was very happy in her heart. Since marrying a ****, I have been busy day and night, and I always thought that I could work more overtime and do more work. but
Now I don't have to worry about buying rice and vegetables, I don't have to work overtime until what time, and my husband doesn't have to squat in the workshop every day; There is wine and meat at home, although the money is a little less, but when this bonsai comes out, it can make up for the income from going to work, and the uncle can say that after these bonsai are sold, the money will be divided into half of them.
"Hehe, I want it!" Keep giggling.
"Hey, I won't tell you, there is still customer service waiting for me!" Zhou Li almost forgot what was right as soon as she spoke, so she hurriedly turned around and ran into the hall.
At lunchtime, **** mentioned the bonsai thing, Yang Bin thought about it and felt that it was almost the same, so he hurriedly took a lot of pictures in the afternoon, and used the computer to make promotional pictures, and then put them on the shelves one by one.
Of course, these are not enough, he thought about whether to wait for the day after tomorrow for the eldest brother to rest, and the two of them took a train to the flower and tree market in Yucheng to see if they could find a stable receiving channel.
Speaking of flower and tree markets, there are actually ones in Tong County, right next to the gymnasium, but since Yang Bin went there once, he dispelled the idea of close sales. Because he found that the market in Tongxian County is not big, and the prices inside are also uneven, those bosses as soon as they heard that they are selling bonsai desperately to lower the price, 80 is high, and some people can even open the price of thirty or forty.
Although Yang Bin doesn't know the specific market situation, he knows that his bonsai is not bad, check the Internet, a good point of the stump in the post bar is about 100, and sell it at a price of 80 Isn't it a loss to grandma's house?
In the afternoon, the sister-in-law and her parents went out to plant corn, and Yang Bin had nothing to do after passing the picture, so he thought about it and simply went to the post bar to advertise, no matter whether anyone bought it or not, it was regarded as expanding the popularity of his store.
Two flowers, one on each branch; When Yang Bin clicked on Du Niang and posted in those post bars about bonsai, Cheng Jun, who was far away in Yangcheng, was paying attention to the news sent by Yang Bin.
Cheng Jun is over 40 years old and has a company with assets of hundreds of millions, and he usually has no hobbies, except for necessary business activities, only drinking tea, fishing, and serving flowers and plants.
The Golden Bullet Bar is a place that Cheng Jun often visits, because where he can buy a lot of raw stumps (stumps that have just been dug), and sometimes he will help novices with the same hobby and answer some questions that he can solve.
After finishing the company's affairs in the afternoon, Cheng Jun clicked on the golden bullet from the browser's favorites, he habitually looked at the front and found several new posts, one by one, they were all some bragging and showmanship posts, and they were boring.
Refreshed again, at this moment a title caught his attention, "Selling Dry Mulberry Bonsai", Cheng Jun is not a novice, he understands the meaning of withering, and it can be seen from this title that someone is selling cooked piles, that is, bonsai that have been coiled. (There are two interpretations of cooked piles, one is a pile that has only taken root for a year, and the other is a pile that has been coiled for a few years and has a certain shape, both of which are collectively referred to as tree stumps.) )
Click on the webpage, the page is refreshed, good guys, what catches your eye is a very beautiful bonsai picture, and the person who posted it is also very careful to mark the size of the bonsai at the bottom of each photo, and some short introductions.
The first picture is a large bonsai tree, the height of the tree is 1.46 meters, the length of the tree reaches 1.78 meters, and the landscape adopts a wide layout, and the overall look is a bit like the welcoming pine on the Yellow Mountain. However, it is more vigorous and powerful than the welcome pine, and it is full of historical charm hidden under the few leaves.
"What a beautiful mulberry tree, how young does this tree have to be to meet one?"
Looking at the picture, Cheng Jun couldn't help but muttered to himself. He loved this bonsai from the bottom of his heart, and since he started collecting bonsai, there had never been a bonsai that had made him shine as much as he did now. Although the tree species of this bonsai is not precious, but such a unique shape and such a thick sense of history, there is no one in his collection of bonsai that can be compared.
Even if you compare it with the award-winning bonsai at the flower show, this bonsai is just as good as they are in terms of unique shape. And what's even more gratifying is that this is a large bonsai, and it is difficult to see traces of artificial shaping on its body, which means that it is naturally generated, unlike those bonsai with a strong artificial smell.
"No, how can such a good thing be let go?"
Looking at it, Cheng Jun couldn't help but have the idea of keeping it for himself, so he didn't have time to check other pictures, but couldn't wait to pull down with the mouse to find the way to contact him.
Fortunately, although the contact person did not leave a specific contact number, he left a Taogou website.
Copying the URL and opening the webpage, Cheng Jun didn't look at what was sold on the webpage at all, but directly chose to use Want Want to talk to him.
"Is the boss there?"
