Chapter 66: Bloodstone Huaiyue Micro Engraving

Ding Huaiyue naturally hadn't heard of Li Xueqing's "big name", not to mention that the old man was only famous in the island city and Ludong Province, even if he was really a well-known seal carving master in the country, Ding Huaiyue would not necessarily pay attention to it.

It's just that Ding Huaiyue saw that Xie Bin was so sure and full of confidence, and then saw a set of extremely exquisite jewelry in front of him and so many beautiful ornaments, and his heart itched terribly.

Now people who have a bit of identity, who doesn't like to get some objects that show their identity and knowledge to play? This seal is also one of them, especially the bloodstone seal, this Ding Huaiyue has heard of it, but he has never seen it.

Seeing the bloodstone in Xie Bin's hand at this time, Ding Huaiyue would not be satisfied, not to mention anything else, just for the name of the bloodstone, he would not disagree. In fact, Xie Bin and Ding Huaiyue are not the kind of people who are short of money, and there is a price difference of hundreds of thousands, which is nothing.

It's just that these two people are from poor backgrounds, and this bargaining ability is already like a conditioned reflex, always thinking about maximizing profits when doing business, and will not miss any opportunity to squeeze opponents at any time.

The bloodstone in Xie Bin's hand has a blood content of about 40%, but it can't stand the foundation, and the blood color is distributed relatively evenly, and there is blood on all four sides after being cut, although it is not much, it can be regarded as a small superlative.

Such a superlative, it is said that it is impossible for Xie Bin to give it to others as an add-on, especially Ding Huaiyue is not a person with a very good relationship. It's just that people have just spent almost 200 million here, if it really doesn't mean anything at all, Ding Huaiyue will inevitably muttered in his heart.

Now taking out such a small superlative, how much is it worth is one thing, at least it makes Ding Huaiyue's heart feel a little cheap, such a big money, maybe you can come to patronize it in the future. Besides, although Ding Huaiyue is just a nouveau riche, the people she is dating now are all masters with thousands of dollars.

As long as Ding Huaiyue mentions a few words after he goes back, he may be able to bring a lot of business to Yitasting. With such a good opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, how could Xie Bin watch it slip away? Besides, Xie Bin can be regarded as advertising in advance for his seal carving skills.

Now Xie Bin has left the impression on others, that is, he can write, paint and play carving, that's all, his seal carving and miniature carving skills are still unknown. After Mu Feng bought Xie Bin's Wanfu bracelet, it didn't seem to be hyped up, so that no one can know that Xie Bin can still make miniature carvings.

Looking at Ding Huaiyue's slightly eager expression, Xie Bin asked with a smile, "What kind of seal does Boss Ding want to engrave?" ”

"What kind? What's the difference? Ding Huaiyue asked.

Xie Bin nodded, "There are name seals, font size seals, and you can also engrave patterns and other contents, there are many styles," said Xie Bin and told Ding Huaiyue about the general types and differences of seals.

Ding Huaiyue was also frank when she heard this, "Brother Xie, where do I understand these things, you just look at it." ”

Xie Bin nodded, "Okay, that's it, if Boss Ding is not in a hurry, wait here for an hour, it won't take much time to make seals." ”

Ding Huaiyue nodded and smiled: "I thought it would take a long time, so fast?" ”

Xie Bin smiled, "If you don't care about the quality, you can make it in half an hour." ”

"Then I'd better wait," Ding Huaiyue hurriedly waved his hand.

Xie Bin took the bloodstone and ran to the next door, there is no special workshop here, but it is not very time-consuming to make seals, and it does not require too many tools, and those that are needed are placed in Xie Bin's space.

An hour passed quickly, and Xie Bin returned to the living room with the freshly baked bloodstone seal. In the living room, Ding Huaiyue didn't know what to say to Zou Xintong, which made her laugh. Xie Bin shook his head slightly, this Ding Huaiyue really has a hand, and he can get along with anyone.

Although Zou Xintong can talk and laugh, he rarely laughs like now, which makes Xie Bin have to admire, thinking that this person can mix well in society, and it is impossible to have some real skills.

Seeing Xie Bin coming in, Ding Huaiyue rubbed his palms and asked, "Brother Xie, are you done?" ”

Xie Bin nodded, "Fortunately, I don't disgrace my life," he said as he handed over the seal in his hand.

Ding Huaiyue held the seal of bloodstone and looked left and right for a long time, and smiled embarrassedly: "Brother, what does this mean?" Why can't I read it? Is it a painting? ”

Xie Bin smiled, "Boss Ding, this is the Dongba script I just learned, the meaning of the two words is very simple, it is the last two words of your name," said and said with a smile: "Boss Ding's name is really chic, these last two words are very meaningful, I took these two words, carved them out with Dongba characters, and then added some patterns." ”

After speaking, he looked at Ding Huaiyue, who was overjoyed, took a magnifying glass and handed it to Ding Huaiyue, "You use this to take a look?" ”

Ding Huaiyue took the magnifying glass suspiciously, and after looking for a long time to understand why Xie Bin gave him such a magnifying glass, he looked at it and exclaimed; "Brother Xie, this, how did you do this?"

Xie Bin smiled a little proudly: "This is micro-engraving, speaking of which, this is the first time I have used micro-engraving skills in this area." ”

Ding Huaiyue smiled, "Then I'm not welcome, brother, if you take it back, you won't envy them to death, haha." ”

Xie Bin smiled and didn't speak, and Zou Xintong on the side said: "Brother Nading will help us taste and say a few good words after we go back, and take care of our small business." ”

Ding Huaiyue smiled: "Sister, it's a trivial matter, in fact, your store, even if you don't need me to publicize it, will become popular, not to mention anything else, this craftsmanship alone is enough to compare with most jewelry stores in China." ”

Xie Bin sighed secretly, it's easy to say, but if you really want to reach that point, it's not that you just have to do it well, you have to be recognized by most people. If those art masters don't admit it, Xie Bin's store will never reach its peak.

You know, not everyone will like Xie Bin to carve jadeite so finely, just like not everyone likes sketching, some people just prefer abstract painting or ink painting, and they like that hazy sense of picture, which is also normal.

So Xie Bin still has a long way to go in terms of carving. However, for Ding Huaiyue's praise, Xie Bin did not accept it at all, because this seal deserves this praise.

Speaking of which, this piece of bloodstone was encountered by Xie Bin when he was traveling in Lijiang, and there are many such small stalls in some tourist attractions there, selling some special jade and the like. In Lijiang, there are naturally more jadeite, but Xie Bin took a casual look but didn't see any good goods.

Instead, I accidentally found this bloodstone at a stall. Naturally, the goods on the stalls are not good things, they are all scraps that no one wants to get here to fool the layman.

However, when accompanying Yu Xinyan to choose, Xie Bin accidentally found this treasure hidden under the thick skin, and bought it back for five hundred yuan. This stone is not big, it is slightly thicker than the thumb, and it is not as long as the thumb of some people, and it can make a seal.

At this time, Xie Bin was cut into a standard seal form, the seal surface is square, and the middle is written in Dongba with the two characters Huaiyue, and in order to match the two words, some simple line patterns are added, which looks more like a painting.

Dongba text is originally a bit like a picture, for example, the word "moon" in Huaiyue, in Dongba text is a pattern of a moon, but the word Huaiyue is like a person hugging the moon. The pattern looks vivid and vivid, and after Xie Bin's processing, it looks even more beautiful.

And in the border of the square printing surface, Xie Bin engraved another poem, which is Ouyang Xiu's masterpiece "Linjiang Immortal", "The light thunder outside the willow is raining on the pool, and the rain drops and the lotus sounds." The west corner of the small building is broken. Leaning on the trunk, stay in the moon. The swallow flew to peep at the painting building, and the jade hook hung down the curtain. The cool waves do not move, and the lines are flat. The water spirit double pillow, there is a fallen hairpin. ”

This word doesn't have a too profound artistic conception, but when it is placed here, it matches the word Huaiyue. But the focus is not here, but Xie Bin's micro-engraving technology.

This is not just a micro-carving, but a seal. The quality of the seal, not to mention other things, at least the words or patterns you carve out, after being printed on the paper, can remain so clear, which is the most important and the most basic point.

It is not difficult for Xie Bin to engrave these fifty-eight characters on such a subtle frame, this is not even a miniature carving, many masters can do this. But whether the engraved words can be clearly printed on the paper makes many people embarrassed. This not only requires the quality of the seal and the ink to be very good, but also requires that when the seal is engraved, the font is clear and organized, and the strokes must be sparse and appropriate, and it is also required that it will not be easily worn.

The hardness of bloodstone is inherently low, and then carved out such a subtle font, it will be damaged if you are not careful, which requires that you must grasp the layout between each word and the structural distribution of bloodstone when carving. Another point is that the printing surface must be very flat, a slight error, the printed words appear uneven, and some even can't be printed at all.

It's easy to say, but it's very difficult to do it completely, and of course no one has done it, but there are really very few people who can do it. And what can be done as easily as Xie Bin is probably not.

Xie Bin also relied on his own ability or the wonderful use of qigong to complete such a complex work in such a short time, of course, the miniature carving skills taught by Old Man Zhang are the most important factor.

Xie Bin took out a box of ink from his collection, took Ding Huaiyue's seal, and gestured: "Boss Ding, although this seal is very chic, it is also very easy to be damaged, so you should be extra careful when using it," After saying the ink, he gently and steadily pressed it on the paper.

"How about you see the effect?" After Xie Bin picked up the seal, he pushed the rice paper in front of Ding Huaiyue.
