Holding the peach wood in his hand, Yang Jie was not in a hurry to do it.

At present, the wood carving has a vague form, basically out of the blank state, and if you want to modify it on this basis, it is not easy to start.

If you let Yang Jie come by himself, it may not be possible to show him for half an hour. But at the moment, Yang Jie has an advantage, ruthless memory, which brings him a lot of convenience.

"The eagle strikes in the sky, and it should be feasible to complete it."

After closing his eyes and thinking for twenty minutes, Yang Jie slowly opened his eyes, picked up a triangular knife from the wooden table, and began to decorate the wood carving that already had a shape.

After more than an hour of wandering around, Yang Jie saw Dongyang wood carving the most, and Yang Jie subconsciously chose Dongyang techniques to carve.

This technique began more than 1,000 years ago, although it became popular in the Ming and Qing dynasties, but in the Song Dynasty, many people already knew this carving method.

ruthless, but also the best of them.

The most important thing in the carving of wood eagles is the wings and eagle eyes, the more distinct the layering of the feathers, the stronger the three-dimensional sense of the living surname, which is commonly known as the spiritual surname.

And a pair of eagle eyes is no less important than the finishing touch. In fact, whether it is carving or drawing, the eyes are always troublesome, and it is likely that the first thing is very good, and the last point is this, and the whole wood carving is ruined.

Yang Jie has seen a lot of this kind of wood carving, and he doesn't want to be like this. You must know that he has a chance, and if he messes up, then he is embarrassed to bargain with the boss for the wood carving painting.

"It's a decent moment, don't want to be brilliant, it's good to be steady."

Although there are many carving techniques that can be borrowed in memory, in the end, Yang Jie still gave up many ideas and used the simplest carving circle to match the eyes of this wood eagle.

More than half an hour passed, and Yang Jie almost finished the wood carving in his hand, but it was still a little bit close, and it was the broken incision mentioned before.

Originally, the incision was supposed to be a small thing grasped under the eagle's talons, which was used to fix it. But the small piece of wood carving has been broken, and it is not good to use it again.

At present, if you forcibly carve out the talons of the eagle, although the final thing is formed, it must not be well placed, and it cannot be carved out and then let it lie flat, it must stand up.

"No matter what, it's the last step, you have to try if you don't try."

Putting down the jade knife in his hand, Yang Jie picked out the thinnest and sharpest light trimming knife from the wooden table.

"In the era of ruthlessness, the carving tools were not so complicated, and an ordinary knife could carve a lot of good things. I don't believe that modern technology is becoming more and more scientific, and it can't be done yet. ”

With a sense of reluctance, Yang Jie began the final refinement, the blade moved on the wood carving slightly, a few minutes passed, if you don't look carefully, you really can't see any difference from before.

The previous carving, Yang Jie only took less than forty minutes, but the final refinement took Yang Jie almost an hour.

But fortunately, I finally got what I had in hand before half past ten.

The formed wood carving is a giant eagle with its wings outstretched overlooking the ground, holding it in his hand to play with one or two, Yang Jie is very satisfied with the water product he made for the first time to do wood carving.

After looking at it for a while, Yang Jie hadn't forgotten the boss next to him, raised the wood carving in his hand, and asked with a smile, "How is it?" ”

At this moment, the decadent uncle of the wood carving shop has stopped drinking, but looking at his half-squinted eyes, you can also see that this guy should be drunk, and I don't know if the previous verbal agreement counts.

Regarding Yang Jie's inquiry, the decadent uncle didn't even open his eyes, and shook his head directly: "General." ”

Hearing this, Yang Jie was not surprised, after all, carving an eagle should not be difficult for this uncle. And what he wants the other party to look at is not just the appearance of a wood eagle.

"Look, here's the moment to witness the miracle!"

Although this sentence is a copycat without any new ideas, Yang Jie's movements are like that magic master, which can bring people amazement.

The wood carving broke away from Yang Jie's hand and stood quietly on the wooden table, without the slightest fixation and without any assistance. It relied on three wooden claws and was firmly nailed to the table like nails.

As if to prove the stable surname of the wood carving, Yang Jie took a thin book from the side and fanned it hard at the wood carving. The shaking of the paper brought a light breeze, and if the wood carving was not placed very steadily, it would have already fallen.

But in reality?

The wood carving still stands motionless on the wooden table, which is even more stable than other carvings with a chassis.

Seeing this scene, the decadent uncle, who was originally hazy and hazy, was shocked, and he had already stepped down from the wooden rattan chair, approached the wooden table, and carefully looked at the wood carving in front of him.

"Awesome, you're awesome."

Without other evaluations, the decadent uncle could only repeat this sentence to express his strange mood at the moment.

Before, because of other things, he was distracted and damaged this white mahogany, and the uncle no longer had any hope for it. But he didn't expect that on the day of the damage, a young man who looked to be in his early twenties at most would be successfully carved.

If he was asked to evaluate this wood carving, it was only seventy points when he held it in his hand before, then now he looks at it, it is at least ninety or more. This kind of novel wood carving is even rarer than the horse stepping on the swallow in the bronze.

"That boss, as I said before, help you get this thing, you'll be" Speaking of this, Yang Jie didn't say any more, no matter how you look at yourself, you have a little bit of a grace to repay.

It's just that the decadent uncle didn't reply in time, looked at the wood carving, picked it up from the table again, then put it down again, picked it up again, and so on many times, and finally shook his head and sighed silently.

"You take it."

With a silent sigh, the uncle got up and handed the wood carving to Yang Jie: "Since you completed it, take it all." ”

"I don't want this, I'm short of money for the time being, just give me that mahogany painting carving."

"I said take it, take it, where is there so much nonsense, take it and leave quickly, Lao Tzu wants to close the store."

After saying this, the decadent uncle began to drive people away, Yang Jie could only smile bitterly and leave with two wooden carvings, and watched the iron door slowly close behind him.

And at the moment when the iron door was about to close, the decadent uncle suddenly squeezed out half of his body: "Young man, what's your name?" Where did you learn carving? ”

"Me? My name is Yang Jie. Seeing the uncle's inquiry, Yang Jie immediately shrugged: "I am a police officer, and the carving is self-taught." ”

"Police?" Hearing Yang Jie's profession, the uncle who was about to close the door couldn't help but be stunned, and then closed the door with his right hand, locked it and shook his head and said to himself: "Such a good craft, it's actually a policeman, it's a pity, it's a pity." ”

What the uncle said, Yang Jie couldn't hear it at the moment, and now he looked at the two wood carvings in his hand with some tears and laughter. I didn't expect to achieve my goal, not to mention, I also got an extra white peach carved eagle.

"This guy, let's talk about a few thousand dollars."

Checking the wood carving eagle in his hand, Yang Jie showed a little ridicule, if he was really poor, he might be able to sell it, this thing was higher than his salary.

As for returning it, Yang Jie didn't think about it, like the surname of the decadent uncle, he wouldn't want it if he returned it. Although they have only known each other for a few hours, Yang Jie can already be sure that this uncle is a person with a story, and he may even have a very high status.

Leaving with two wood carvings, there was just the last bus at half past ten, and Yang Jie didn't have to spend money to take a taxi back.

When he arrived home at eleven twenty, Yang Jie began to think about where to put the two wood carvings as soon as he got home, and the wood carving drawing board was useful, so he put it directly on the coffee table in the living room.

As for his debut novel, Yang Jie thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to hide it, this thing, Yang Jie is not ready to expose it in the eyes of outsiders.

After getting the two wood carvings, Yang Jie was ready to wash and sleep, the time was not early, and he had to get up early tomorrow to go to the branch office to continue to sign for the information, this task was not completed, and it was always a pimple in his heart.

"Wu Zun, you'd better pray not to be caught by me, otherwise, don't blame me for making Jiangnan full of wind and rain again."
