Looking at Mu Feng's tangled appearance, Xie Bin smiled, let your kid make things difficult, see what you do? But there are also some doubts, this kid's intention is really obvious, he is here to make things difficult, if Xie Bin refuses to take his business, then casually say it, Xie Bin's newly opened tasting is estimated to be affected. It's just that someone can command this person who claims to be the eldest young master of the Mu family in Yun Province to make things difficult for him Xie Bin.

And just now Mu Feng himself said, what is the heir of the Mu family's jewelry, could it be that this infamous Mu family jewelry store is also specialized in high-end jadeite like him? Thinking about the extremely advantageous geographical location in Yun Province, there are also some jade families that have been inherited for several generations, but it is not impossible.

It's just that in this way, Xie Bin is even more unlikely to show weakness. Besides, it's also a very big test of his own craftsmanship. To engrave 625 blessing characters on a bead, this difficulty is really not small.

It is said that as a "first-class folk arts and crafts artist" awarded by UNESCO, a member of the China International Calligraphy and Painting Artists Association, a "lifelong honorary professor" of the Chinese Calligraphy Artists Art Creation Center, an "honorary president" of the International Xizhi Academy of Calligraphy and Painting, the president of the Zhizhihua Hard Pen Calligraphy Association, the executive deputy editor-in-chief of the Hard Pen Calligraphy and Painting Newspaper, and the vice president of the Poetry and Calligraphy Institute of the National Poetry and Wine Association, he was able to write 6,183 Chinese characters on a 2.5×3 cm piece of paper.

And Mr. Guo's record broke the Hungarian Emman who is known as the "world miniature calligraphy master". On the back of the commemorative stamp (2.8×3), Lajor wrote a record of more than 2,000 letters in pencil.

Think about it, people can write more than 6,000 words on a piece of paper the size of a thumb, why can't he Xie Bin carve more than 600 words on the surface of a bead? Although it is very difficult and challenging, Xie Bin doesn't mind trying it.

Speaking of which, it was the biggest challenge he'd ever faced since he had the ability. Thinking of this, Xie Bin had already made up his mind, no matter whether this Young Master Mu would place this order worth 100 million US dollars or not, he would challenge it himself.

In the field of miniature carving, Xie Bin really hasn't tried it, the last carving of the Baifu bowl is really not a miniature carving, those blessing characters can still be seen clearly with the naked eye, and the works of these miniature carving masters, that are all need to be observed with a magnifying glass.

Speaking of this, Xie Bin was a little suspicious that in the era when there was no magnifying glass, how those old craftsmen made the miniature carving process so exquisite. For example, Wang Shuyuan's "Carving Boat", and some masters can carve poems in the edge and border of the seal without the help of any tools, and so on. And when the miniature carving memory is integrated into the seal, it can not only be appreciated as a beautiful work of art, but also anti-counterfeiting, which was often used by people in ancient times.

It's just that the requirements for the artist's comprehensive ability are too high, and the requirements for the creator's eyesight, wrist strength, pen strength, energy and physical strength are very high.

It is said that Guo Yueming was able to carry forward the miniature carving skills, or because of the combination of qigong. Well, Xie Bin is skeptical about this, because the controversy of this guy Qigong is too great. But thinking about his abilities, Xie Bin didn't think it was ridiculous, he just wanted to have a chance to get to know those people. If there is really qigong, and it is so magical, Xie Bin would like to practice it and try it to see if he can have some chemical reactions with his own abilities.

At this time, Young Master Mu, who originally wanted to make it difficult for Xie Bin, was stumped by Xie Bin. 100 million US dollars, this is not a small number, although it is not too high for the Wanfu Emperor Green Jade Bracelet that may exist, but what if Xie Bin really makes it?

Looking at Xie Bin's confident and breezy appearance, Master Mu gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I don't believe you can really make it, do you have to pay a deposit?" ”

Xie Bin smiled, "No need, presumably with Master Mu's family property, he won't cheat, right?" ”

Mu Feng snorted twice, shook his neck and said, "That's natural," and said, "But you have to give a time limit, don't let me wait for ten or eight years." ”

Xie Bin nodded and smiled: "Two years, how about it?" Two years is not a long time for such a superb object. ”

"Okay, if you can't do it in two years, I want you to apologize publicly," Mu Feng laughed, as if he had seen Xie Bin's embarrassed appearance when he apologized.

Xie Bin nodded and said no more, but he was even more confused in his heart, could it be that this kid really wanted a miniature carving work? If you want to make things difficult for yourself, two years is too long, and after two years, Xie Bin's shop may have already become popular all over the country, and a trivial letter of apology is really nothing.

Xie Bin proposed a two-year time limit, thinking that this Mu Feng would object, but he didn't expect him to agree without even thinking about it.

In fact, this is Xie Bin's difficulty in making this request to Mu Feng is seriously underestimated, from ancient times to the present, there are many masters of playing miniature carving, but no one can play on jade. Because the hardness and rigidity of jadeite are very strong, it is necessary to use grinding and other processes to process when processing, where can such microscopic carving be carried out?

Of course, Xie Bin is an exception, and it is precisely because of this that Xie Bin's jade Baifu bowl is so valued by Li Guohui. Of course, it is precisely because of this that Mu Feng dares to make such a request without fear, because according to the current means, it is impossible to complete the hot task.

The eldest young master Mu Fengmu, who thought that the provocation had succeeded, proudly hugged the wine girl and got into his sports car, and then roared, "whoosh-" and jumped out for a long distance.

Looking at Xie Bin's confident appearance, Zou Xintong was a little worried, "Xie Bin, are you really sure?" This is obviously looking for trouble. ”

Xie Bin smiled, "I'm not afraid of what you're afraid of, it's cool enough to have a challenge!" Then he asked, "What is the origin of that jewel?" Do you know? ”

Zou Xintong frowned and said: "When I was in the headquarters of Xu's Jewelry before, I seemed to have heard of it, but I don't know the specific situation, I checked it on the Internet," without waiting for Zou Xintong's action, a cashier on the side Xiao Wang said with a smile: "Two bosses, Mujia Jewelry is a large jewelry dealer in Yunnan Province, with a business scope covering the whole country, including Hong Kong, Macao and other places, and Taiwan Province is also involved, in addition to having a lot of business abroad, it is a predator in the jewelry industry, and they don't just make finished products, The control of various raw materials is the main thing, including jadeite, gold, diamonds and jewelry, as well as Hetian jade. ”

Xie Bin was stunned, is it so big? However, for Xie Bin, it still can't have any impact, Xie Bin is mainly engaged in jadeite, but his raw materials do not rely on others, but completely rely on his own purchases. Speaking of which, Xie Bin's consumption of raw materials here is really not large, but the quality is higher.

Therefore, Xie Bin didn't take this small Mu family son to heart, but this Wanfu Emperor Green Jade Bracelet had to be carefully studied. Not to mention anything else, it's not easy to find the material of imperial green alone, and now Xie Bin still has a little glass material in his hand, but the color is a little lighter, and it can't be regarded as imperial green.

It seems that he has to go to Pingzhou again, Xie Bin shook his head helplessly. Fortunately, the raw materials of the jadeite market are still relatively sufficient, and there are several jadeite wool distribution centers across the country.

Speaking of which, the best materials such as Imperial Green and Fu Lushou are both available but unattainable, but there is something to find after all. It's like buying a lottery ticket, you add all the numbers, and there will be a set.

In terms of Xie Bin's way of selecting materials, as long as there is enough time, there is no material that he can't find, and the premise of being a person is that there are such materials in this world for him to choose.

However, the most difficult thing in this matter is not the rare imperial green material, but how to carve 10,000 blessing characters on sixteen beads. How big is a bead with a diameter of one centimeter? Well, Xie Bin has not been to school for so many years, and he has really forgotten what this formula is like.

However, no matter how small it is, it will not be smaller than the piece of paper used by Mr. Guo Yueming, and the carving of six hundred and twenty-five blessing characters, this difficulty is not known how much, after all, writing is writing, and carving is two different things. Engraving takes up a lot more space than just writing.

So Xie Bin felt that it was better to practice his hands first. It's just that he doesn't have any foundation at all, he really has to learn it first, it's definitely too late to apprentice, Xie Bin can only read some points and other things on the Internet, and then explore it himself. This is Xie Bin, if other people are apprentices, they may not be able to learn well.

Carving is easy to learn and difficult to master, and although miniature carving is difficult, it is a similar thing to carving, but it has been reduced many, many times.

Simple text carvingXie Bin also did it when he was doing wood carving, especially when he often did bamboo carving. However, at that time, they were all used in conventional fonts, such as carving a few sentences of Analhangs or inspirational quotes on bamboo boards, and also did some antique bamboo weaving to transcribe the entire Analects.

When carving the text, it is generally divided into two types: yin and yang. The understanding is very simple, Yin is the kind of text that is concave on the surface of the text, while Yang is naturally convex. But if you really want to use the knife, there is a slight difference in the need for knife skills.

Relatively speaking, Yin script is more suitable for people's writing habits, while Yang script is more suitable for carving creation. Of course, the two can also be used together, for example, when carving seals, the two characters of yin and yang are combined together, and sometimes there will be a harmonious beauty. Well, this harmony refers to the harmony of yin and yang, just like the Taiji diagram, which is more in line with the aesthetics of traditional Chinese people.

However, after thinking about it, Xie Bin decided to only practice Yinwen, because Yinwen is relatively space-saving, the layout is slightly less difficult, and the effect of carving is a little better than Yangwen.

If it is engraved in yang script, such a small font makes the surface of the bead as if it has thin burrs, which is easily damaged.
