Chapter 17 Rotten wood can be carved

Coming out of the first wood carving shop, Yang Jie immediately visited four or five stores in a row.

If you dare to open a store on Zhongping Street, you must be a person with two brushes, but judging from Yang Jie's situation that he is still empty-handed, you know that he didn't find what he wanted.

The expensive ones can't afford them, and the cheap ones can't be looked down upon, and when he came out of a wood carving shop again, Yang Jie began to doubt how feasible the idea of buying an eye-catching wood carving was for a few hundred yuan.

It's just that wood carvings have to be bought, and looking for Chen Kai to come to the house for dinner is not purely for the friendship of fellow villagers, he has something to entrust to others. And in this year, even if you are looking for someone to ask about something, you have to pay the corresponding bargaining chips.

This has nothing to do with family and friendship, not to mention that he Yang Jie and Chen Kai are not related, at most, when they were still in their hometown, they had a few encounters.

"If you go shopping, you can't do it, so you can only change to something else."

Seeing that there is still a small half of the street that is not patronized, Yang Jie can only hope that the following stores can make him a success, and his requirements are not high, as long as he can get it.

Walking into a store called 'Flying Flower Eagle', this wood carving shop is one of the two largest stores that Yang Jie has seen so far, and it does not match its name at all.

Similarly, the store is large, attracting more customers, and more than a dozen people are scattered around, giving people the impression that this store is very good.

Among the many customers, Yang Jie's dress is very ordinary, although the boss saw him come in, he didn't take him to heart, and still accompanied the big customers by the side.

And Yang Jie is also happy to be like this, anyway, if he doesn't see a suitable one, he will automatically leave, and he doesn't need to be close to the shopkeeper.

There is a huge storefront, and the wood carvings under Yang Jie's eyes are naturally there, and after looking at it for ten minutes, Yang Jie finally stopped in front of an antique wood carving of Guan Gong's horizontal knife.

This wood carving is placed in an inconspicuous corner, and the price is only 666, which is very suitable for Yang Jie at the moment.

And the carving is not bad, whether it is the curve or the painting technique of the wood carving itself, in Yang Jie's opinion, it is better than 70% of the wood carving in this store.

Of course, Yang Jie can see that it is good, and it is impossible for the shopkeeper not to know that the so-called orb dust is not something that can be seen from time to time, and the price of this wood carving is only 666, of course, there is a reason for him.

"It's a pity, it's a half-rotten wood, or the cheapest poplar."

No matter how good the carving is, it is difficult to hide the texture of the wood carving itself, and who wants to buy it home and collect the handicrafts carved out of a piece of half-decayed poplar wood?

There aren't many collectors in this world, and most people still want to join in the fun, and such people will never buy this good-looking wood carving.

There is no market, no matter how high the level of engraving is, the price cannot be raised.

But others don't want it, it doesn't mean that Yang Jie doesn't want it, after shopping for so long, that is, this piece of broken poplar is the most suitable, if you don't buy it, you may not be able to find other wood carvings in the future.

With the wood carving in his hand, Yang Jie walked to the shopkeeper not far away: "Boss, how much is this wood carving willing to sell?" ”

Although he is ready to buy it, this does not mean that Yang Jie will really pay more than 600 soft girl coins, bargaining is a must, and how much can be cut.

It's just that Yang Jie overestimated the value of the broken poplar in the heart of the shopkeeper, seeing that Yang Jie seemed to have the idea of a counteroffer, the bald boss didn't want to wave his hand directly: "That's the price, don't put it back, don't touch it." ”

After speaking, he immediately carefully introduced the high-end goods in his store to the big boss next to him, and didn't seem to treat Yang Jie as a customer at all.

"Rub, the one who buys 10,000 yuan is the customer, and Lao Tzu buys you a broken poplar wood, so he is not a customer?"

Receiving this kind of differential treatment, Yang Jie was naturally very unhappy, and the unhappy result was that the original idea of paying was extinguished, and he put Yang Mu to the side, and then raised his feet and left.

"I still don't believe it, I can't buy what I want for a few hundred dollars?"

Leaving the 'Flying Flower Eagle' with a little bit of indifference, Yang Jie finally knew that the thing of the shopkeeper bullying customers existed in any industry, which should be regarded as the special business culture of Huaguo.

Although he knew it in his heart, the corners of his mouth were still broken, so that Yang Jie was not in the mood to watch the next few stores at all, so he went in and out, and then quit in disappointment.

Walking from the west side of Zhongping Street to the east corner, more than an hour was spent here, but Yang Jie still didn't buy a suitable wood carving, seeing that the street had come to an end, it seemed that he could go home.

Of course, Yang Jie also thought about going back to buy that poplar wood carving, but as soon as this idea came out, he shook his head helplessly, a half-rotten wood carving, even if he bought it back, I am afraid that the effect of giving it away will not be too good, it is better to change it to something else.

Thinking like this, Yang Jie planned to turn around and leave, but at the moment of leaving, he caught a glimpse of a door number on the corner of the street: rotten wood can be carved.

This is a wood carving shop with a not very good location and a very small area, if it wasn't for the inadvertently shaking the store sign, Yang Jie really didn't notice, and there was a wood carving shop that he hadn't visited.

"Now that you see it, let's go in and take a look. Anyway, it was more than an hour wasted, and it wasn't bad for that time. With this thought, Yang Jie turned around and walked into this 'rotten wood carving'.

Walking into this store, Yang Jie nodded involuntarily, although the store is small, but the things are very refreshing and tidy, on the wooden shelves against the wall on both sides, all kinds of wood carving objects are arranged in order of size, unlike other stores, all look at the price.

The visual effect is good, and if you take a closer look inside, Yang Jie can't help but be happy, the feeling is that it is such a small shop, and it is also a small workshop.

At the back of the cash register, there is a long wooden table, on which a lot of wood is piled up, and carving tools, the most conspicuous is a few flat knives and triangular knives inserted vertically into the wooden table.

At the wooden table, there was a middle-aged uncle with a scumbag sitting against the wall, holding a wine bottle in his hand, pouring a mouthful of it, very decadent as an art professional.

"It seems that this decadent uncle is not only an old version, but also a carver himself."

With a slight bow, Yang Jie noticed the way the other party held the wine bottle, his thumb was buckled horizontally, and the other four fingers were twisted and bent, if he hadn't been used to using a handmade knife all year round, he would never have grabbed the wine bottle in such a weird way.

After glancing at the decadent boss, Yang Jie began to have a large number of utensils in the store, not to mention anything else, there were many things in this store that made Yang Jie's eyes shine.

It's just that price, hehe, hehe, Yang Jie can only laugh like this twice after seeing it.

Picking it up, Yang Jie picked up a limewood carving with a price tag of 1,002, which was a longboard the size of two palms, and it was completely hand-carved a map of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River.

If he can buy it for eight hundred, Yang Jie is ready to make a move, as for the next life, whatever, grit his teeth for a while, and there will be a salary.

It's just that I just want to ask the boss to reduce the price, so I might as well have someone next to me to speak before me.

"Boss, how do you sell this thousand-armed Guanyin?"

Following the sound, Yang Jie saw a boy who looked like a student, holding a large wooden carving in his hand, and kept flipping through it.

Well, that thousand-armed Guanyin Yang Jie also noticed it before, it should be one of the few treasures in this small store, and the price tag is a big five-digit number: 88888.

"There are so many rich children now."

Seeing that the boy was only ten ** years old, he opened his mouth to ask such an expensive thing, Yang Jie was sad for a while, he was really poor and short, even if he became a policeman, he still couldn't become rich and handsome.

Watching the shopkeeper walk over with the wine bottle in a swaying way, Yang Jie shook his head secretly, and at the same time walked against the long table carved by the boss carved wood, he wanted to see what these things that were being created would look like.

On the nearly two-meter-long wooden table, there are more than a dozen large and small wood carvings, some of which are about to take shape, and some of which are still just moving.

"Huh? This is? ”

And among these wood carvings, Yang Jie saw a special wood carving, which was a piece of white peach wood that was broken in half, and the large one had been carved out of the outline, which was a flying eagle.

"It's a pity again."

Shaking his head, Yang Jie had a feeling of laughing at the moment, and only half an hour ago did he see a wood carving with very poor wood quality and good carving. And now, there is another piece of wood that is very good, but part of it is broken due to poor carving, resulting in the entire wood carving cannot be formed.

"If this thing doesn't break, it can definitely be sold for a good price."

Such a thought flashed through his mind, and the next moment, Yang Jie's thinking suddenly stopped.

Rotten wood can be carved, this wood carving is just a broken piece, it may not be able to continue to carve out, right?

At least, in their own memory, someone can do it!
