Chapter 14, Yew carving
Five sets of tea tables and chairs, 20,000, and one set of 4,000?
This price is not too high, but he is not well-known now, he is twenty years old, he has no bargaining power, looking at the appearance of a few people, 20,000 yuan must have been negotiated a long time ago, and it is not good to raise the price by himself.
Doing business, the picture is real, the trickle of water flows, do a good job, spread the word of mouth by them, there will be the next work.
Xi Qing undoubtedly picked up the pie and said happily: "Okay." Then I'll take this order! β
"Happy. Ten thousand dollars now we give it to you. However, for the sake of safety, you will need to temporarily impound your ID card from us. Again, write us a note. β
"No problem."
Xi Qing knows that these are all rules in the industry, and it is right for everyone to be a little wary when they cooperate for the first time.
β¦β¦
Yew is a shallow-rooted plant with inconspicuous taproot and developed lateral roots, which is recognized as a natural rare anti-cancer plant that is recognized as endangered in the world, and is an ancient relict tree species left by Quaternary glaciers, with a history of 2.5 million years on the earth.
Yew generally has to go through a long growth cycle, four or five hundred years before it can grow, so the wood of yew almost does not have a large-scale growth base in the world, and it is also very precious.
Looking at the yew wood, which is more expensive than gold, there are at least four or five square meters in total, just talking about this material, I'm afraid it is worth more than one million.
These millions of wood, carved by themselves, this excitement Cheng dΓΉ is no less than that Monkey King.
The carving of yew is different, just because it has no resin channel and resin cells, and the texture of yew is uniform, the structure is fine, the hardness is very strong, and the toughness is particularly strong.
It is also this point that yew is more used for fine processing, carving is more used, and the developed side roots are also more used to carve the root carving of the tea house.
In addition, with its uniform texture and fine structure, yew has strong antiseptic properties, and you won't worry that there will be insects in the wood after a long time, just like a camphor tree, which itself has a certain insect prevention function.
Looking at these yew trees, the red flesh is quite beautiful, and in some places, you can see the bright red color like fog.
The little charm rendered on the brick-red fleshy surface is like Bai Juyi's poem: stop and sit in love with the maple forest at night, and the frost leaves are red in the artistic conception of February flowers.
Obviously, the lateral roots of this wood have been found by the master in the early stage of gluing and air-drying, and Xi Qing does not need the previous steps, but only needs to create inspiration according to the current whole yew.
The shape of yew wood requires the carver to carry out natural imagination processing according to him, and carve it into a tea table after inspiration packaging, which is also the so-called image carving, but fundamentally speaking, the tea table still belongs to the category of practical carving.
To be honest, there are a lot of coffee tables that Xi Qing has seen, but they need to be fabricated and processed in their current form, and Xi Qing needs to sort them out.
Soaring?
Xu had just processed the coiled dragon, and Xi Qing planned to put the image of the dragon into his works, especially one of the more abundant yew trees, and Xi Qing planned to make it into a dragon.
The large table top is made about one meter, the width is 60, the height is 58, the table top extends out is the dragon head that flies upward, and the whole area under the table is carved with the dragon body, a picture appeared in Xi Qing's mind, and he suddenly found that if the dragon is flying on one side, the other end of the table will be relatively empty. After pouring the water, the water at this end may run down and it needs to be decorated.
Then add a living Buddha here?
The living Buddha of Tenglong is something that sculptors are tired of creating, and they all have beautiful meanings. Why don't you connect the two together and present them in one work.
Tenglong to the living Buddha, east and west, two directions, complement each other, just this wood can again not have to cut too much scraps, but also in line with the old gentlemen's requirements to save materials.
Yes, just make a Tenglong Living Buddha coffee table!
The second: the white crane coffee table, the shape of the white crane's bright wings.
Xi Qing had the first burst of inspiration, and then his thoughts were like springs, looking at the yew, Xi Qing seemed to be able to immediately imagine what it was more like, and it was very beautiful in line with the artistic conception of the object.
This third one is to make a rooster on a big stage, like a work of Chinese territory, and then this one will be given to Mr. Han Aiguo, and his name can still reflect each other.
This fourth one is made into a Pisces coffee table, symbolizing that there is more than one year in the year.
The last one is to be a fortune golden toad, rich and noble, and fortune into treasure.

"Hao Le, what has Xi Qing been doing in the past two days? They don't come to play with us on weekends. β
Zhang Ye asked Hao Le.
Hao Le spread his hands: "I don't know, this kid is not at home at all." β
"I want to play with him. It seems that QAQ has been lost again. β
Hao Le said: "By the way, haven't you been notified of the preliminary examination of the student union of your sports department?" β
"No, I don't. Is your propaganda department out? β
"Not yet. Somehow, the secretarial department is relatively fast, and it is estimated that we will not be notified until the rematch is completed. Hao Le was depressed.
Zhang Ye nodded: "It's possible." Maybe you recruits get a good score in the semi-finals, and you can be directly admitted to the student union. β
"That's right. In case there is a guarantee, we really have to fight hard to get a good place. "It's just..."Hao Le suddenly became a deflated balloon: "The two beauties in the art department are freshmen, their paintings are very popular, and they are from professional classes, I'm afraid that the places in the student union will be snatched for them, you don't know, these two guys got the top two works in the preliminary round." It's already in the finals. β
"I didn't hear of anyone who won the top two, but I heard that these two girls were very beautiful. It can be said that it is the two sister flowers of the Oriental Art major this year. Zhang Yi joined the topic discussion at this time, and he was very keen on the topic of beautiful women.
Xi Qing, who had completed the work, rang again, lowered his eyes and glanced at him, and the caller turned out to be Liu Yan.
"What's the matter, what's the matter with me looking for me so late?"
After that painting incident, Liu Yan couldn't understand this Xi Qing anymore, he obviously hinted at his love, but he still pretended to be 13 every time he spoke.
Despite her complicated heart, Liu Yan called to never ask for such an answer. She has more important things to do.
"I'm too lazy to look for you if I'm fine, tomorrow is the school painting semi-finals, you remember to come on time, ten o'clock in the morning."
"Race? I know, but I can't promise to come, you can do whatever you want tomorrow, don't wait for me. β
There is no class tomorrow morning, Xi Qing is actually thinking about delivering this carved work tomorrow, so that he can get the rest of the commission. As well as the fall of a large rock.
In short, when the customer is satisfied, he can go to other things.
As for the painting competition, Xi Qing didn't pay enough attention to it at all.
