The town is not very far from Cangshan, but it is also a half-day walk. Ah Yin hired two donkeys, and it was almost noon before the two arrived in the town. The town was originally famous, and from afar I saw a boulder engraved with the words "Nuclear Sculpture Town" in vermilion.

Jiang Xuan covered his mouth and snickered, and said, "It is carved on the boulder so brightly, for fear that others will not know that the people living in the town are all nuclear carving technicians." ”

Ah Yin was very excited.

In the past, her grandfather never allowed her to show her nuclear carving skills outside, and when she learned nuclear carving, the only people she could communicate with were her grandfather and Ah Xuan's sister. And now it's all nuclear carvings! Whole! All! Be!

She turned over and got off the donkey, stopped in front of the boulder to observe, and only said: "The handwriting is vigorous and powerful, you can see the knife skills, if there is a nuclear carving, I really want to see it." ”

A sneer, not light, not heavy, sounded.

Ah Yin looked up, only to see a bright girl showing disdain for her, and casually said to the girl dressed as a maid next to her: "In these years, cats and dogs can talk about nuclear carving, how can those mediocre people talk about nuclear carving?" It's ridiculous. ”

The maid chuckled: "That's what the girl said." ”

"Go, go in, lest anyone defile my ears."

Jiang Xuan was slightly annoyed, and was about to refute out loud, but was stopped by Ah Yin. She shook her head lightly and said, "Now that nuclear carving is flourishing, talented people can be appreciated." The girl just now looks like she is only twenty-eight years old, and if she is also a nuclear carving technician, she should be arrogant at this age. ”

Jiang Xuan muttered: "When my sister was sixteen years old, the most expensive nuclear carvings sold outside couldn't match my sister's. ”

Ah Yin glanced at her and said, "You should be humble when you go out, not to mention that there are people outside the sky." ”

"No, my sister is the best."

Ah Yin couldn't cry or laugh, but he couldn't do anything about her. After entering the town, Ah Yin found that there were many girls walking on the streets, and after inquiry, he learned that most of them were maids who came to buy nuclear carvings for the master's family. The stalls and shops in the town are dazzling, all of them are nuclear carvings, because of the uneven level, some of them are like a market, and some of them are crowded.

Ah Yin pretended to choose a nuclear carving, and asked: "I just saw a girl who was born with bright facial features, and seems to be involved in nuclear carving." ”

She wanted to describe the girl's appearance again, but the stall owner slapped her thigh and said, "You are talking about the pearl of the Gongcheng Luo family, Miss Luo!" She's not like the rest of the world. Last year, the Luo family produced a nuclear carving genius, it was the eldest brother of the third girl Luo, his nuclear carving was loved by the prime minister of the current dynasty, and at the end of last year, he was recruited to Yongping and became a guest in the prime minister's mansion. Now it's a celebrity in front of the prime minister, a little girl, do you know that one person has ascended to heaven? Now don't say that the people in our nuclear carving town, even the people in Gongcheng have to let their Luo family score three points. ”

Ah Yin had heard about the Luo family, but he didn't care about it at the time.

The stall master said: "This Luo San girl is also a little talented, and now with the prestige of her eldest brother, no one dares to care about her when she walks sideways in Nuclear Eagle Town." What are we carving the core for? Isn't it just to get ahead one day? I have been carving the core for three years, and the nuclear carving Shen Yun workers are not bad, you look at this, it is very face-saving to buy it back as a fan pendant. Look, you're the first time you've come back to our nuclear carving town, right? My reputation is known to the whole street. ”

Someone laughed at the stall next door.

Ma Da said without changing his face: "What are you laughing at?" Have the ability to sell more than Lao Tzu and laugh again! ”

The man's face was scornful.

Ma Dahe rubbed his hands and said, "Little girl, what do you think?" It's not expensive......" looked Ah Yin in front of him up and down, squinted and smiled: "Look at the first time you come back, fold it for two dollars, and only charge you thirty yuan." ”

Thirty dollars, Dongyun's monthly money for half a year.

Jiang Xuan was speechless and said, "Sister, isn't this a robbery?" ”

Ah Yin didn't say anything, his fingers picked up the nuclear carving, and put it in the palm of his hand to look at it.

It is a pit carving of a monkey's head with a longevity peach.

The spring is bright and bright, reflecting on Ah Yin's slender white five fingers, which is particularly dazzling. Ma Dahe's heart came suddenly, and for some reason, the girl in front of her looked like a yellow-haired girl, and her speech was mediocre, but when she quietly measured her nuclear carving, the hands that looked extraordinarily thin were so calm and powerful, as if they could easily turn over the clouds and rain.

Ma Dahe said in a thick voice: "To buy or not to buy?" Don't buy it, don't get in the way! ”

Ah Yin asked: "This is a nuclear carving of 30 yuan, what kind of nuclear carving is 100 yuan?" ”

When Ma Dahe heard this, he thought that he had met a master who spent a lot of money, and immediately smiled and said: "Yes, yes, I have everything here." He opened a wooden box and took out a satin brocade box, which contained a nuclear sculpture of an Arhat.

Ah Yin smiled: "It turns out that Boss Ma is good at Luohan nuclear carving. ”

"I have been apprenticed for three years, carved countless Arhats, and the Arhat nuclear carving rosary I sell here is not a hundred but also eighty," he glanced at the monkey head in Ah Yin's hand, and said: "Of course, the monkey I carved is also extraordinary, it is rare for you to know how to appreciate my skills at a little girl's family, I sell you 110 yuan for Luohan nuclear carving, just this year is the Year of the Monkey, and the one in your hand will be given to you as an additive." ”

Ah Yin asked again: "If I buy it, this nuclear carving will be at my disposal?" ”

"You want to smash it!"

Ah Yin said: "I only brought 30 yuan, so I bought this nuclear sculpture in my hand first." As he spoke, he really took out thirty yuan and handed it to Ma Dahe. Ma Dahe accepted the money, and asked with joy in his heart: "Another Arhat nuclear carving, girl, when do you plan to buy it?" I'll keep it for you. ”

My heart was full of joy.

I met the stupid God of Wealth today!

Ah Yin said: "A quarter of an hour later. ”

When Ma Dahe heard this, his eyes looked over Ah Yin and looked out of the town. Dozens of carriages were parked in unison on the flat clearing. He immediately said flatteringly: "I can accompany the girl out for a trip, so as not to trouble the girl back and forth." ”

"No trouble." She pointed to the wooden box under the bench of Martha's nuclear core and asked, "This is your tool for carving cores, can you lend me one?" ”

Ma Dahe looked at her stunned, and only came back to his senses for a while, and gave the wooden box to Ah Yin inexplicably. Ah Yin opened it and looked at it, slightly satisfied, took out a sharp cone knife, and then whispered a few words in Jiang Xuan's ear.

Jiang Xuan understood, his eyes lit up slightly, and he opened his mouth and shouted: "There is a little monkey offering a peach carving, it is only sold for one hundred and ten yuan, and I will come and see it when I pass by!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Ma Da Nu was like a thunderbolt, looking at Ah Yin with the eyes of a fool.

When the stall owner next door heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

Ma Dahe's stall is not far from the exit of the town, it is a lively place where people come and go, and there are already many people watching from the sidelines, and now listening to a girl who is smart and screaming such ridiculous words, the number of people around him gradually increases.

Ma Dahe's cheekiness felt unbearable, and said angrily: "Hey, you ......"

Ah Yin didn't seem to hear it, and asked gently, "Has anyone bought it?" ”

Jiang Xuan echoed with a smile: "Does anyone want to buy it?" It's only one hundred and ten. ”

The crowd burst into laughter, and someone teased: "One hundred and ten Wen, do you count a pair of sisters who are like flowers and jade?" ”

Jiang Xuan stared at a pair of copper bells and said, "My sister is hard to buy!" ”

Ah Yin was not annoyed, and held the sharp cone knife in the midst of the uproar. The carving core has five, hair file, flat file, flat cone, cone, and pointed cone, of which the pointed cone is used to carve the eyes. Although the little monkey peach pit carving has its shape, it lacks its spirit. At the beginning, Yin's grandfather taught Ah Yin to carve monkeys, and specially caught a monkey, Ah Yin faced each day for an hour, for half a year, before he took the monkey's demeanor to the bottom of his heart.

The monkey is the most naughty and jumpy, and a pair of monkey eyes is the essence of the monkey core carving.

The noise in the crowd ceased abruptly.

Most of the people who can come here know something about nuclear carving. As soon as the yellow-haired girl held the sharp cone knife, everyone immediately knew that this was a knowledgeable person, the posture of holding the knife was very standard, and the movements were smooth, without the slightest drag.

Gradually, gradually......

Someone let out an exclamation.

Fang Cai was just an ordinary monkey, and in just a moment, it seemed to come to life, and the monkey's wit of offering peaches was lifelike. Although it has not been polished, it has not been polished, but everyone knows this kind of knife skill, let alone one hundred and ten wen, two hundred wen are willing to buy.

"One hundred and twenty wen, sell it to me!"

"I'll give one hundred and fifty!"

"Get out of your hall, I'll speak first!"

……

Ah Yin finally sold it for one hundred and sixty wen, she took the money and turned around slowly. Ma Dahe's face was blue and white, and he knew that it was not difficult to carve a monkey, and it only took some time to carve a living monkey, but the difficult thing was to modify the finished product.

His face was slapped unusually loudly by a yellow-haired girl.

The skills are not as good as others, he can only admit it.

Before Ah Yin could speak, Ma Dahe packed up the stall and left quickly. The stall owner next door looked at Ah Yin's eyes differently, and he said, "The girl is so skilled!" I don't know who I studied with? ”

Ah Yin smiled and said, "Is there a place to rest nearby?" ”

"Yes! It just so happens that I'm going to close the stall earlier today, so I'll take you there. He grinned and said, "My surname is Fan, and my name is Fan Haohe." ”
