After negotiating business, Liu Tong immediately transferred 850,000 yuan to an account provided by the old village chief. This account is the official account of Chujiazhai, and the deposit in it has exceeded five million. Most of them are the shares of those companies, and many of them are donations from Jackton and others.

From this moment on, Chujiazhai's education funds exceeded one million. It can be said that the village has the ability to bear all the expenses of children's white spoon education. According to the plan of the old village chief, starting this year, the children's white spoon education expenses will be paid from the village. Of course, the villagers strongly agree with such a decision, especially those who have many children in their families.

After transferring the account, Liu Tong immediately instructed the driver he had called to drive the car over. The old village chief called the two excavators and used their white spoon boom to lift the stump into the car.

When it was done, the old village chief invited everyone to the house for tea. Liu Tong saw the village chief's little grandson playing with a woodcarved Monkey King, and he couldn't take his eyes off it.

"Little friend, how about you, the Monkey King, let Uncle take a look?" Liu Tong squatted down and discussed with the little guy.

The little guy didn't have a scheming, so when he heard this, he handed over the wood carving. Maybe a little timid, and then immediately hide behind the old village chief.

"Huh! See that, right? Hong Lao smiled. For the carving process of the wood man, he also admired it a lot. This kind of entry belongs to that kind of folk master, who has almost reached the realm of being able to capture it, and it is half a step away from the grandmaster.

"Awesome! This wood carving is not simple! It looks like it's newly carved, but I don't know which master it is, so I really want to visit and ask for advice. Liu Tong looked at it, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was not easy to carve this wood carving.

"Of course there is a chance, that master is in Chujiazhai, and he is still an authentic villager here." Chen Wu said.

Speaking of which, Chujiazhai is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and a very ordinary old man in it may have a unique skill that makes him marvel.

When Liu Tong heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, his heart was overjoyed, and he hurriedly said: "This is true, take me to visit!" I admire it a lot. ”

For them, if they can still ask for advice and get the other party's guidance, it will be a great blessing to be born.

"Don't worry, take a sip of tea first, I'll live here when I get home, and I won't leave." Hong Lao said.

After drinking a cup of tea hastily, Liu Tong couldn't help but beg Chu Jiaqiang to take him to visit Mu Gong. Chu Jiaqiang also understood his feelings, so he took him over first, and he didn't know if Mu Tougong was free now.

It's really impossible to say about this matter, but now he is very busy. Many tourists come here to order a wood carving from him and take it home as a souvenir. The price is not expensive, but the carving is vivid, and everyone likes it. Because of this unique skill, his family also has a few catties on the list of the top ten richest people in Chujiazhai.

This rich list was also made by the kid from Chu Jiacheng, and the top of the list is, of course, Chu Jiaqiang.

"Wood, a colleague has come to see you, come out to greet you!" When the old village chief arrived at the door, he shouted loudly. This is really polite, and the shouting that followed him was all wiping sweat.

Liu Tong hurriedly waved his hand and said honestly: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be!" We can only be regarded as juniors, how can we let our seniors come out to greet us. ”

At this time, Mu Gong came out, still with the same face that was not good at smiling. glanced at everyone lightly, and said very casually: "Come in!" ”

The corners of Chu Jiaqiang's mouth twitched

smoked, worthy of being a wooden man, was called wood, and the words were really pitiful.

"Huh! This guy is like that, just get used to it! The old village chief hurriedly smiled and said. Seeing that after entering the house, he added an additional 50,000 yuan, and the old village chief made the most enthusiasm.

When they arrived at the house, Mu Gong's wife and two daughters-in-law hurriedly poured tea to greet everyone. In China, guests come in, and they all greet each other in this way, first drinking tea and then eating.

"Something?" Mu Gong asked, the language so concise that he didn't know what to say.

After Liu Tong came in, his eyes never left the wood carving carved by Mu Gong, and the more he looked at it, the more he admired it. Hearing the master's words, he immediately replied respectfully: "I have seen the craftsmanship of my predecessors, and my juniors have admiration for them. ”

The words of this line are different, with connotation and literary brilliance. Of course, in some eyes, it may be crepe.

Mu Gong glanced at Liu Tong and nodded: "It's okay." ”

"Lao Mu, show your hand to this kid and give him some knowledge!" Hong Lao said. I've been here for so long, and I'm very clear about this temper. This is the way the character is, not smiling, not aimed at a certain entry.

Mu Gong nodded again: "That's good." He was also used to Hong Lao, Wan Lao and others calling him like this. The same age in the village, like Old Man Li, the old village chief, etc., all shouted him wood.

After saying that, there is no nonsense, he is a man of action. I saw him pick up a carving knife, and with the other hand, he picked up a piece of wood casually, and moved quickly. The knife was in his hand, and it swam on the surface of the wood like a nimble fish. This technique is quite admired by other laymen, let alone Liu Tong in the industry.

A long history, exquisite skills of various sculpture crafts, such as ivory carving, jade carving, wood carving, stone carving, clay carving, face carving, bamboo carving, bone carving, carved inkstone, etc., is a precious artistic heritage in Chinese arts and crafts. Ivory carving, jade carving and other crafts due to the expensive materials, and the workmanship is very fine, so it gradually changed from practical goods to appreciation, so it was called "special crafts", before liberation, it was only a plaything in the hands of the exploiting class. Wood carving, stone carving, clay carving, face sculpture and other crafts are mostly spread among the people, with a strong local atmosphere.

Hong Lao told everyone that carving is also a very difficult art, and he pays great attention to techniques and knife skills.

The so-called technique is the author's treatment of image and space in the creation of wood carving. This technique is mainly embodied in carving and carving in the sense of reduction. To be precise, it is to excavate and reveal the form step by step by subtracting waste materials from the outside to the inside.

In the subtraction modeling again and again, we not only experience the pleasure of the work "coming out of the shell", but also feel the special charm produced by various knife techniques, and some accidental effects can make the work produce new rhyme. Therefore, in the creation of wood carving art, the most meaningful exploration is to use various knife techniques to properly reflect the creative intention of the carver.

Knife technique is a technique used by sculptors to embody their own creative ideas, and it is also a means to vividly reveal the content of art. The turns, setbacks, concave and convex, and ups and downs of the knife are all in order to make the work more vivid and natural, so as to fully reflect the material beauty of wood carving and reflect the rich carving beauty.

Unknown wood carving art into the into, in the use of the knife is not to use the knife for writing, but to paint and artificial, and then timid afraid of carving, the result of the knife rigidity and ingenuity, carved out of the wood carving fun. Therefore, it is necessary to carve more, practice more, ponder more, and become familiar and perfect in order to form your own artistic language and artistic style.
