Chapter 127: Shoushan Stone
Anyway, when Xie Bin was setting up a stall, Mr. Wang didn't take care of him, although it was not a big favor, but Xie Bin was still very grateful, and it has been the case until now. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Therefore, no matter what this exchange meeting is like, Xie Bin will not let it go. After returning to his villa, he turned out his collection of raw materials and found a few suitable pieces. The finished jadeite Xie Bin has it, he doesn't need to prepare much, but he can get two more pieces of nephrite finished jade, and he doesn't want to be misunderstood as only playing jadeite.
Xie Bin has some nephrite jade in his hand, that is, Hetian jade. From white jade to green jade and black jade, although the quantity is not very much, the quality is quite good. It's just that the price of this high-quality Hetian jade is also very high. Although Hetian jade can also gamble, but after all, it is not on a large scale, and ordinary people still buy finished jade directly.
Because of the cost, Xie Bin's tasting rarely appeared nephrite objects, and the batch of materials he had made before were restored and untouched. This time it will come in handy.
It's just that this nephrite jade is called nephrite, but in fact, the hardness is harder than glass, as high as 6.0 to 6.5, and the hardness of jadeite is only 6.5 to 7.0. Therefore, for the average jade carver, nephrite is also a relatively difficult material to overcome, and it is also processed with a diamond grinding head when carving, just like jadeite.
At home, Xie Bin can do whatever he wants, and others can't see it, but at the exchange meeting, it is a bit shocking to do it in person. Xie Bin thinks it's better to keep a low profile, after all, there are insiders there, and if Xie Bin shows his processing process without leaking, it is inevitable that some people will be suspicious.
Therefore, when it came to showing his skills, Xie Bin had to prepare other materials, but in addition to nephrite jadeite, Xie Bin also had two pieces of bloodstone in his hand, which was still not very sè, and he couldn't control the scene when he took it out. After thinking about it, Xie Bin contacted Wang Xinzhi, who he had just met.
Wang Xinzhi is playing with Shoushan stone, presumably she should have ready-made Shoushan stone materials in her hands. To be honest, Xie Bin has never seen Shoushan Stone, and he doesn't know much about the price of Shoushan Stone, but he has only heard of the name of Shoushan Stone.
Wang Xinzhi opened a handicraft shop near Wuyi Square in the island city, the store is not big, but it is very elegant, from the window to the counter there are different sizes of Shoushan stone carving handicrafts.
As soon as Xie Bin entered the door, Wang Xinzhi greeted him and said with a smile: "I thought that if I wanted to see Brother Xie, I would have to wait until a few days later." ”
As soon as he heard this, Xie Bin coughed dryly and understood the girl's thoughts, which was a sign of favor. I can't say how this girl is, but when people interact with people, it's like this. When you meet a beautiful woman or meet a person with better conditions, you will also show closeness.
Xie Bin didn't care, and said with a smile: "No way, I have a request for you, sister." ”
Wang Xinzhi nodded, "Come in and sit," she said, leading Xie Bin into the room.
There is a small living room inside, not big, but it is also very neat, and there is a safe in the corner, which should be used to place valuables, which is normal. In addition, there is a workbench with a semi-finished stamp on it.
Xie Bin bowed his hand and said apologetically: "I'm sorry to disturb your work." ”
"It's okay, it's okay," Wang Xinzhi invited Xie Bin to sit down, "What do you want Brother Xie to drink?" Tea? Coffee? ”
Xie Bin said politely: "Tea is fine." ”
Wang Xinzhi smiled and said to Xie Bin: "Brother Xie doesn't have to be too polite, wait a minute," said and went to make tea,
Xie Bin walked to the workbench and carefully measured the half-finished seal. The material is naturally Shoushan stone, the face sè is very magnificent, the sè color is more, and the texture is rich and delicate, and it looks very textured. This is a seal with a button, and the button depicts a lying cow.
The carving skills are very jing, which Xie Bin admits, but to be honest, if you really want to say how superb the skills are, Xie Bin really can't see it, it can only be regarded as decent. Maybe it's because this seal is not very valuable, in short, Xie Bin is not eye-catching.
But there is one point, that is, the shape of this seal is very special, it is designed with the shape of the stone itself, which looks a little more ingenious, and this is the special feature of Shoushan stone carving. The carving scheme is designed according to the shape of the stone itself.
In the Shoushan stone carving industry, there is a saying that "one is worth nine work", which means that the quality of a stone is worth nine points of carving craftsmanship. This is also true. Because the Shoushan stone carving itself is more peculiar in appearance and texture, sometimes there is no need to carve at all is a beautiful stone with ingenuity, and sometimes the carving is not good, but it will reduce the ornamental value of the Shoushan stone itself.
Not long after, Wang Xinzhi came in with a tea tray, saw Xie Bin looking at her works, and asked with a smile, "What do you think, Brother Xie?" Have some suggestions? ”
Xie Bin sat down, shook his head and said, "It's the first time I've seen Shoushan Stone, where can I put forward any opinions?" In fact, although it was the first time he saw Shoushan Stone, it was not the first time to play carving, and his eyesight was very high, but to tell the truth, he was afraid of hurting this girl's self-esteem, so he had to hide his clumsiness.
Wang Xinzhi didn't care, sat down with a smile and asked Xie Bin: "Brother Xie, what kind of stone do you want?" ”
Xie Bin thought about it for a while, and explained to Wang Xinzhi: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, sister, I'll get two stones, mainly to use them when the exchange meeting is displayed on the spot, after all, jadeite and nephrite are too hard, the tools are inconvenient to carry, and the processing is also troublesome, which is a little worse than Shoushan stone, so I want to find a sister, you can see if there is a stone that is not big and of good quality." ”
Wang Xinzhi smiled generously when she heard this, "I thought it was something, I don't have anything else here, there are a lot of stones, Brother Xie likes that piece and takes it casually." ”
Xie Bin coughed, "How can that work?" How much is that? ”
Wang Xinzhi said with a smile: "Actually, the stones here are not valuable, and I can't afford to play with valuable stones, so Brother Xie doesn't dislike it." ”
Xie Bin waved his hand, "What do you say, I look good." ”
Wang Xinzhi explained: "Brother Xie saw Shoushan Stone for the first time, he may not know much about it, in addition to looking at the face and shape, this texture is also very important, some stones, not only have pores and checks, but also have many cracks, and it is very difficult to carve." ”
Wang Xinzhi said and picked up a fist-sized stone, "Brother Xie, you see, the shape and appearance of this stone are good, but if you look closely, there are more cracks, and the texture is also worse, it is a bit false to say that it is worthless, but it is almost the same, when I buy it, it is packed in a sack." ”
Xie Bin took a closer look at it in front of him, and sure enough, it was so. The stone with the same mind is estimated to be the kilogram material in the jadeite. After careful observation, Xie Bin could even see those cracked faults, and sighed secretly in his heart, such a stone is indeed useless, even if it is barely carved, it has lost the most important >feature of Shoushan stone carving
Shoushan stone carving is a kind of carving process that pays attention to returning to the basics, when carving, try to retain the original characteristics of the stone, and some even retain a part of the stone skin or the original stone form, so as to enhance the collection value and appreciation value of the stone carving.
And this piece in Xie Bin's hand, not to mention retaining the original condition, is to cut it into a seal, and it is only a hundred and ten yuan of goods, and the quality is here, even if it is a layman, I know that this is not a good thing when I take a closer look, not to mention the impurities in the stone.
Of course, Wang Xinzhi was originally a handicraft shop, specifically for those tourists who came here to travel, and there could not be anything too precious. However, looking at the business in the store should be good, in a year, three or five hundred thousand is easy, if you can sell a few high-end items, millions will not be a problem, which is already a very remarkable thing for an unmarried woman.
The two sat there and chatted for a while, Xie Bin also had a general understanding of Wang Xinzhi, she was a native of the island city, and her academic performance in high school was not good, so she specialized in art, studied art for a year, and then was admitted to an art academy in Fuzhou, where she studied sculpture.
Later, I accidentally met the old man Liu Huiqing, got the guidance of the old man, and then specialized in Shoushan stone carving, and returned to the island city after the art was completed, and opened such a Shoushan stone carving handicraft shop, and then joined the carving association of the island city, and it is also the new craftsman who is more sè.
Then Wang Xinzhi took Xie Bin to her warehouse to take a look, there were dozens of large and small stones piled up, with different shapes and textures, but there were nothing too high-end. Wang Xinzhi said with a smile: "Brother Xie, why don't you come to my house to have a look, there are a few good ones in the house, I guarantee that you are satisfied." ”
Xie Bin waved his hand, "Don't bother, anyway, it's just a show of craftsmanship at that time, I'll just pick two pieces here." ”
Xie Bin said that he picked two pieces at random, but in fact, he picked the two most outstanding pieces at once.
One of them is just the most textured, very delicate with few cracks, and there are not many impurities, but the face is less, and the shape is also very ordinary, nothing special, like a round cake, the bottom is red and white sè, and most of the top is yellow sè, like chicken jelly, which is somewhat similar to bloodstone.
There is another piece but not bad, mainly red sè, with white sè and yellow sè mixed, the bottom is also quite delicate, and the size is the size of a fish tank, if you think about it, it can be sold at a good price.
Seeing that Xie Bin picked these two stones, Wang Xinzhi felt a little bleeding in her heart, but she said that Xie Bin would pick it casually, but she didn't expect Xie Bin, the first time he played Shoushan Stone, to pick the two most outstanding ones at once.
Fortunately, Xie Bin didn't prepare anything to ask Wang Xinzhi for nothing, although this woman is also more sè, but she is not attractive to Xie Bin, he doesn't want to have any entanglement with this person, it is enough to be a friend. smiled and said to Wang Xinzhi: "Sister, how much are these two stones?" ”
Wang Xinzhi was also a fat man with a swollen face, and grinned: "Brother Xie will take it if he likes it, and talk about any money." ”
