After a few days of delays in the delivery of his works due to a painting competition, Xi Qing admired his completed works in the garage rented by Hu Zhongxian and Fan Runmin.

Hao Le, this kid, found this place yesterday and learned that Xi Qing had been working overtime here for the past few nights. However, Hao Le also witnessed the footprints of Xi Qing's carving, and for him, this kid's carving skills are definitely advancing by leaps and bounds.

At least in the past month, his level seems to have risen a few steps. However, Hao Le also suspected that this kid was deeply hidden, in short, on the carving, Hao Le didn't know how much Xi Qing was still hiding himself.

"How's it going, these five pieces?" Xi Qing asks for opinions,

Hao Le nodded after reading it: "Not bad." The carving is vivid. Tell me, what kind of wood is this? ”

Hao Le is a bit illiterate.

Xi Qing smiled: "This is yew wood, which grows all over the motherland, but the yew wood in the south is a little better than in the north." This wood will grow for four or five hundred years. ”

"Four or five hundred years? Isn't that rare? "Hao Le was stupid.

"It's not very precious. Do you see all this scrap on the ground? Just this small scrap is worth a thousand eight hundred. ”

Carving wood usually leaves a lot of scraps, and every work of art will remove some wood, and there are many carving masters who rely on scraps to make money.

They take over a carving job, thousands of carving wages, but the scraps can make a profit, if they meet a good one, such as Xi Qing such yew wood, the scraps alone are higher than the wages.

Hao Le would bend down and hurry to collect the wood, and said while picking it up: "Then you are not rich, I see forty or fifty pieces of scraps." You pick up twenty or thirty pieces, a thousand pieces a piece, and you have twenty or thirty thousand. ”

"What are you doing?"

Seeing Hao Le's eyes glowing with gold, Xi Qing stepped forward to stop him, and his attitude suddenly became stern.

"What? Pick up this material, there are so many scraps, and you say that this wood is very valuable, you must pick up some. Isn't it a waste not to pick it up? ”

"No! You put it all down for me. Xi Qing frowned, he naturally knew that the idea of picking up some was human nature, after all, the use of this material is the carver's own mastery, and saving more material is also his own ability.

Besides, employers don't care much about scraps, but Xi Qing doesn't care about it: "Hao Le." Although we don't know about this material, I can't do it. I'm going to stick to it, so we can't take even a piece! ”

Hao Le's love was still very high just now, but when he heard Xi Qing say this, he suddenly hit it like frost, his hand let go, and the material also fell to the ground.

When the work was delivered to Hu Zhongxian and Fan Runmin, the five of them were very satisfied with the yew coffee table completed by Xi Qing.

Whether it is the dragon living Buddha, the crane, the double fish, the golden toad, or the rooster, each work shows its incisive portrayal.

It is almost the art flowing wantonly on the work, and when I see the work, it seems that I can immediately reproduce the free and easy work of Xi Qing pushing and carving and broaching.

Fan Runmin handed over the remaining 10,000 yuan to Xi Qing, and at the same time returned Xi Qing's ID card, saying: "Thank you very much, Xi Qing, you are a rare genius of carving." ”

Han Aiguo said: "The territory of this rooster matches me very well, thank you, Xi Qing." ”

Hu Zhongxian said: "Xi Qing, the symmetrical design of the Tenglong Living Buddha is ingenious, I am not wrong about you, you are a rare talent in carving, and you will definitely be able to shine in the carving in the future for the benefit of the people." ”

Fan Runmin said: "Xi Qing, our trip to Binjiang was a complete success, tonight, we are leaving Binjiang, and I am really a little reluctant with you." ”

"Me too, next time I come to Binjiang, inform me in advance, I will accompany you to go around Binjiang, this time it is really a little insufficient."

Xi Qing came and went, and he also had feelings for a few old gentlemen, and he grabbed his head and was praised and said a little shyly.

"Okay, I'll call you next time. Also, you can go to Los Angeles to find us when you have time. A few of our old men welcome you as a guest. ”

"Yes, Los Angeles is a place where the Central Plains culture gathers, you should be very enthusiastic about traditional culture, and you can also study in Los Angeles."

"If you have the chance, you will definitely go." Xi Qing nodded and said.

"Gotta come." Hu Zhongxian smiled and concluded: "Okay, if you talk too much, you will be reluctant to leave, Xi Qing, a few of us old guys will leave." ”

"Yes. Wait a minute. ”

At this time, Xi Qing took out two big bags from the garage, and the bags were all yew scraps, and Xi Qing helped them sort them out and put them into big bags, so that they could carry them: "Uncle Hu, Uncle Fan... Here's your yew scraps, it's all here. ”

Hu Zhongxian and Fan Runmin were stunned at first, thinking that this kid was going to do something, but they didn't think that he would go to take off the scraps, looking at such a big bag, the two old gentlemen looked at each other and smiled.

The other old gentlemen also smiled.

"What is this?"

"This is the scraps of your yew wood." Xi Qing repeated.

Han Aiguo spoke first this time: "Haha, Xi Qing, you kid is Te Shi, when will we tell you that you are going to come back to this scrap?" ”

"Ahh You guys... No? "Xi Qing remembers that they told them to save materials.

Han Aiguo said: "We wanted you to save materials at that time, because we didn't want you to waste such a good yew wood, and you did this and completely found a work that conforms to the form of wood." This scrap is your own saving, that's your ability. We've decided to give it to you from the start, and a few of us old guys think you deserve it. ”

"What, for me?"

"Okay, Lao Han, don't say so much, let's not talk about catching the train, that's it, Xi Qing, goodbye, look forward to seeing you next time."

Give me? It's mine?

Xi Qing looked at the distant background for a long time, and felt that this qiē was very unreal.

What is not true is that the scraps of forty or fifty yuan, the scraps worth twenty or thirty thousand, the four old gentlemen actually gave them to themselves?

"Uncle Fan, Uncle Han, Uncle Hu...... You guys..."

"I'm really gone..."
