Chapter Seventy-Four: The Knife

Before the official start, Xie Bin had a good night's rest, calmed down, stabilized his slightly nervous mood and slightly disordered breath, and only started the next day.

It is said that in the previous era, if they encountered such good materials, the masters really had to bathe and fast, burn incense and clean clothes to show their sincerity before they started. In fact, it is just a set of small rituals that allow him to fully devote himself to the hands, which is similar to Xie Bin's current purpose.

In fact, there are such rules in some places now, not only carving by hand, but also buying back valuable wool, and burning incense and praying before opening the window, in order to expect to be able to cut the price of the knife, the knife and knife rise, if it really rises, but also to put the whip and fireworks to pay tribute to express gratitude.

But Xie Bin doesn't have that habit, as long as he can calm down, it's completely fine. In fact, it is almost impossible to achieve complete normality, after all, this is not ordinary good material, but a peerless treasure that is almost destined to shock the world when it is launched.

In the face of such a piece of material, it is impossible for Xie Bin not to be nervous, but the degree of severity is different. After a night, Xie Bin felt that he could bring out his highest level, so he began to carve.

The drawings have been drawn, and they were re-drawn by a master after Xie Bin modified them, this drawing is absolutely professional, and only Xie Bin needs to go under the knife according to the drawings, and there is no need to think about other things. This is both convenient and shackles for Xie Bin, because it restricts Xie Bin's own play.

Xie Bin never used drawings before, he completely thought about the knife and followed his own thinking, so that there would always be a flash of inspiration when carving. And this flash of inspiration may become the highlight of this work.

Now according to the drawings, it is stable, but after all, it is not Xie Bin's own drawings, and the best result is to turn this jadeite into an ornament in full accordance with the requirements on the drawings.

Of course, Xie Bin doesn't pursue so much now, as long as he can follow the drawings, this will be a national treasure after completion. Xie Bin dared to say this, no matter who came, there was no way to refute it, not to mention anything else, this piece of material alone could make all those who love to pick on thorns shut their mouths.

For three days, Xie Bin was completely isolated from the world, and even Doudou was driven by Xie Bin to Zou Xintong's side, and the things to eat and drink were all prepared a long time ago. In the past three days, Xie Bin has no more than ten hours of rest, and fortunately Xie Bin is energetic, otherwise the average person would have collapsed after such an overload.

To do this, it is not only physical work, but also mental work, and the test of the brain and spirit is the most important thing. Every time the knife is made, this is a new test for Xie Bin, and every knife must be cautious and not allow for the slightest mistake.

In fact, Xie Bin also knows that this kind of mentality is a big taboo for artists, because this kind of mentality completely suppresses his feelings, and in the long run, it is not beneficial to the development of craft. Fortunately, it's just this once, and it's estimated that it's just one time in this life, and such good material is not something that can be picked up casually by picking up stones on the ground.

When Zou Xintong saw Xie Bin coming out of the villa, his eyes widened in surprise, and he said half-loudly: "Hurry up and take a bath." ”

Xie Bin smiled, and then remembered that he didn't seem to have taken a bath in the past three days, except for eating, sleeping, and going to the toilet. Under normal circumstances, if you don't take a shower for three days, it's like that, and you can't see anything. But now Xie Bin has a bad face.

This can't be blamed on Xie Bin, don't think that jadeite is such a clean thing, not to mention the appearance of polishing and a little stone chips, even when carving jade meat, it will also make some scraps, plus Xie Bin's basement is completely a messy carpentry room and carving room, you can imagine what it will be like to stay in it for three days.

Someone said, you can take a break, why are you so desperate, just slow down, and the material won't run away.

This is a layman's term, and most knowledgeable people know that when completing a work, it is best to complete it in one go to avoid stretching the cycle too long. Because sometimes, you really don't know how your hands feel, if the mood before and after is different, this piece may have two styles, especially this kind of object that has not been greatly modified, even more so.

Sometimes, the day before yesterday, I thought it was best to go under the knife like this, but after two days, I might feel that it was better to change the knife method, so it was not a good thing for either the work or the artist.

Although Xie Bin did it according to the drawings, he still shortened the cycle as much as possible to avoid accidents. This is not an ordinary object, although Xie Bin does not pursue too high a realm, at least he can't let others find fault with him, especially some hard injuries.

Xie Bin took a bath and ate a comfortable meal, Zou Xintong waited until Xie Bin was satisfied with a full burp, and then asked expectantly, "How is it?" He explained: "Those masters have been waiting for the past few days, and they don't even have the heart to work." ”

Xie Bin smiled, "Where is it so fast, the basic modeling and details are almost done, but polishing is a laborious job, you have to take your time." "It's true, in the face of such a treasure, when Xie Bin polished it, he was extra careful, for fear of leaving any flaws.

What is more convenient than traditional hand polishing is that the objects made by Xie Bin do not have too many burrs and other collateral products. Because after Xie Bin carves, he has to repair the light like a wood carving, so that he can save a lot of things when polishing.

Hearing Xie Bin say this, Zou Xintong was also relieved, although she couldn't get a penny for this work even if it was sold, but for a tasting, it was a good opportunity for publicity, which was even better than the oral propaganda of Liu Yifei and Ding Huaiyue.

Zou Xintong said that something suddenly came to mind, and smiled at Xie Bin: "By the way, your father-in-law is looking for you, and when I see that you don't turn on the phone or open the door, let me inform you, saying that you will find him immediately after you leave the customs." ”

"What's the matter?" When Xie Bin heard this, he was a little nervous. Seeing that Zou Xintong was in a hurry, he was secretly worried about whether Li Jingjing told Li Guohui about his derailment, and now Li Guohui is looking for him to settle accounts.

Zou Xintong just smiled and didn't say anything, as if waiting to see Xie Bin's good show. This made Xie Bin even more nervous, could it be that the matter between himself and Yu Xinyan spread so quickly? But it's impossible to think about it, Wu Jing doesn't talk much, he is a person in the entertainment industry, and he cares about these things very much, and the big mouth is not very easy to mix in the entertainment industry.

Chen Jianjun is not enough, his identity is there, doing such a thing, it is not only Xie Bin who offends, it is estimated that Yu Xinyan is not very happy. With Chen Jianjun's shrewdness, such a thing would never be done.

Just suddenly thought of the couple who went up the mountain with Xie Bin and others at that time, Xie Bin frowned secretly, could it be them. Although those people were not sure whether Xie Bin had anything to do with Yu Xinyan, if they said it with a big mouth, they couldn't help but think what Xie Bin and the others thought, after all, Yu Xinyan was also a star.

came to his father-in-law's house with apprehension, but seeing Li Guohui's smile on his face, Xie Bin's heart suddenly relaxed, as long as his was not exposed, other things were easy to say.

Li Guohui was unusually enthusiastic, and after seeing Xie Bin, he stood up and said with a smile: "Xie Bin is here, hurry up and sit down," saying that he wanted to make tea for Xie Bin.

Where did Xie Bin receive such treatment, the old man made tea, which really did not appear in Li Guohui. Hurriedly took the teapot in Li Guohui's hand, "Dad, I'll come, you can sit down." ”

Li Guohui sat on the sofa with a smile, looking at Xie Bin with eager eyes, as if Xie Bin was carrying some treasure.

When making tea, Xie Bin reacted, this old man wouldn't be interested in his piece of Fulu Suxi material, right? Although I don't know how Li Guohui knows, but thinking about Li Guohui's temperament, it seems that this is just such a possibility. Although Xie Bin has a lot of good things in his hands now, what can make Li Guohui make this kind of situation is the unfinished Fulu Suxi.

Sure enough, after Li Guohui said a few words to Xie Bin, he eagerly picked out the topic, "Xie Bin, has your piece of Fulu Suxi material been completed?" What styling? ”

Xie Bin saw that he couldn't hide this from his father-in-law, so he had to ask curiously: "Dad, how did you know about this?" I don't think many people will know. ”

Li Guohui smiled, "You still want to hide it?" People all over the country know that you have such a treasure, and even several big players in Hong Kong and Macao are asking if the things in your hands are natural. ”

Xie Bin was shocked, "Won't it?" I didn't do publicity, how could there be such a big reaction? ”

"That second boss of yours put up a picture on your membership system, and it became a sensation all of a sudden," Li Guohui said with a smile, "There are many people in our country who play jadeite, but this circle is really quite small, can such a treasure be hidden?" Unless you cut the stone yourself, and no one is around, you will be approached sooner or later, and the noses of those merchants are very sensitive. ”

Xie Bin secretly complained, your nose is also sensitive enough. But if you think about it, you can understand, there seem to be a lot of people in the circle, but most of them have an unclear relationship, you tell me, I'll tell him again, this matter can spread throughout the circle without even a day.

It's no wonder that there are so many missed calls on my mobile phone, and there are fifty-six people who don't know each other, and there are fifty-six people who are often contacted. Xie Bin didn't understand why so many people were looking for him just now, but now he understands that it is all the fault of this piece of Fulu Shouxi.

As he was talking, Xie Bin's phone rang, but it was Old Man Zhou's. For this, Xie Bin didn't dare to slack off, and said with a smile: "Old Zhou, what did you want to call me personally?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, Xiao Xie, where is that piece of Fulu Suxi's material? Keep it for me, I want as much as I want," the old man simply didn't even say a polite word.
