Chapter 196: Ingredients
When Zhang Can saw this stall and the things in the store, he knew that it was him, and immediately stopped and asked, "Master, I want to ask ......?"
"You want to carve a seal?" The old man raised his head, looked at Zhang Can, his expression immediately had some guesses, and said: "A young person like you, no one wants to carve a seal, only the old man still has that habit!" ”
It is true that now that science and technology have reached, almost no one uses private seals anymore among young people, unless it is an enterprise, and the carving of the official seal must have a certificate, and it cannot be carved in private hands, so the industry of carving seals like this old man is basically impossible to find food now, but Zhang Can also understands that in the antique industry, the master with good skills, or some collectors will find them to process their own stone and wood, etc., and the carving fee usually given by collectors is relatively high, enough for their living expenses.

So as soon as the old man saw Zhang Can's age, he had some guesses, and it was estimated that he was not here to carve and process.
Zhang Can immediately brought the stone in his hand to him, and said with a smile: "Master, I want to process my stone, if the cost is concerned, you can just make a price." ”
The old man was stunned, and he could see that Zhang Can's tone was indeed casual, he relied on his skills to eat, as long as he had business, he thought about it, he stopped what he was doing, and then asked, "You this stone?" …… How do you process it? ”
When the old man looked at the stone in Zhang Can's hand, he couldn't help but be stunned, how to process such an ordinary piece of bluestone with white material? This kind of material can't be carved into any jewelry, nor can it be carved into a seal, what jewelry is carved into that is worthless, not worth anything, I don't know how Zhang Can is going to process it?
Zhang Can immediately handed the stone to the old man, and then said: "Old man, I want to cut this stone open, because the stone is small, I think you can use your old tools to open it, and you don't need a big tool to solve the stone!" ”
"Cut?" The old man was stunned again, could this young man still think that there was jade in this stone? And what is the use of cutting? After thinking about it, he said, "How do you want to cut it?" But...... If I cut the stone, I will have to pay 400 yuan, what do you think? ”
Zhang Can smiled and said: "I'll give you a thousand yuan, I'll draw two lines, you can always cut it according to this line." ”
The old man is when the fist-sized stone is cut casually, not calcite, if it is calcite, then whether there is jade to solve it or not, the price is not low, and to solve the top jade, the jade owner will give a large reward, but as a waste stone casually cut open, it will also charge a few hundred yuan meaning.
Of course, in the eyes of ordinary people, even if they charge 400 yuan, it is a high price, but Zhang Can is even more bold, directly increasing the price to 1,000 yuan, the old man is also stunned, it is rare to see a strange person like Zhang Can!
Zhang Can didn't hesitate, he immediately took out the money, counted ten hundred bills, and then handed them to the old man, and said, "Master, borrow another pen from you and I'll use it." ”
The old man nodded, took out a thick pen from the pen holder made of a mineral water bottle with the top half cut on the glass counter, handed it to Zhang Can, and then watched Zhang Can's movements.
Zhang Can took the pen, and saw the position of the jade in the stone layer with his perspective eye, and then drew a few lines at the edge of the jade, and if you cut from these lines, you can see the jade layer, there is a thin point, and it will not hurt the jade inside.
As soon as a few lines were drawn, Zhang Can handed the stone to the old man again, and then said, "Master, just cut it according to this line." ”
The old man frowned, but he didn't take the stone, and stuffed a thousand yuan back into Zhang Can's hand, and said lightly: "Young man, you should take this money back, you find someone else to cut it for you, I won't cut it!" ”
Zhang Can was stunned, not knowing why the old man had changed suddenly, and immediately asked, "Master, why is this?" ”
The old man said lightly: "There are rules for a line, young man, I look at the lines you draw, this is the way to play the jade wool, since it is a calcite, then I also have my rules, I have to solve it according to my method, otherwise you will take it, and I don't understand how much it is!" ”
Only then did Zhang Can understand that the old man did not cut the stone for him, but drew the lines himself, which made the old man feel that this was a technique that he did not trust him, so he was annoyed and didn't cut it for him, so he couldn't help touching his head and smiling a little bitterly.
If it is up to the old man to cut it himself, even if the old man's skills are good, he is not absolutely sure that he will not cut the jade inside at all, but his perspective eye ability is that sure, but this is an impossible secret.
When I arrived in such a strange place in the capital, I didn't know where there was a place to solve the stone, and this Tianhuang stone was far different from the solution of jadeite wool.
The old man looked at Zhang Can holding the stone in a daze, but he could see that this young man really didn't seem to be joking, he hated the money and burned it again, so he thought about it and said: "If you want me to cut the stone according to your method, that's okay, but I have one condition." ”
"On what terms?" Zhang Can heard that the old man had a little turn for the better, and immediately asked, if it is to add money, it is a trivial matter, no matter what, the old man will not ask for more than 10,000 expenses, and the value of this Tianhuangshi must be more than one million, he actually doesn't really know the value of this Tianhuangshi, more than one million, that is just his perspective to guess.
The old man immediately stood up, and then beckoned to Zhang Can, "Come inside with me." ”
When he arrived at the store, Zhang Can saw the old man stop at the counter, and then pointed to the many small wooden blocks on the counter shelf and said: "I am doing carving, the main skill is to carve seals, there are hundreds of small pieces of wood on this shelf, which are specially used to carve seals, and I have collected them from south to north for more than 40 years, I said, young man, among the hundreds of pieces of wood, as long as you can recognize the names of five pieces of wood, even if you pass my conditions, I will cut this stone for you!" ”
Zhang Can couldn't help but smile slightly, most of the small pieces of wood on this shelf have been decades old, and they have been cut, no skin and no original color, it is difficult to recognize what kind of tree it belongs to.
But for Zhang Can, it's nothing, the old man couldn't imagine that Zhang Can has incredible perspective ability, and the aura can analyze the year of the substance and the type of material with the perspective, to distinguish the name of these woods, not to mention just recognizing five kinds of them, even if they recognize all of them, it is also a trivial matter.
The old man thought that Zhang Can would definitely retreat in the face of difficulties, but he didn't expect that Zhang Can smiled and nodded: "Okay, master, then I will be ugly, let me say a few names first, right!" ”
The old man also smiled, it seems that this young man is not immortal in the heart of the Yellow River, at his age, it is naturally impossible to recognize him these woods, the wood used for carving seals is miscellaneous wood, which belongs to the relatively hard kind, and the soft, loose wood cannot be carved.
The miscellaneous wood that can carve the chapter is generally born in the deep mountains, the species is relatively small, and it is rare, and there are some rare species, it is even more rare, Zhang Can has seen a lot, such as golden silk nanmu, mahogany, red sandalwood, etc., these are the most rare wood.
Looking at the small wooden blocks on the shelf, Zhang Can didn't pick one of them, but took a piece from scratch next to hand, touched it in his hand, and then said: "Master, this piece of wood has a fine texture, and it has been put for a long time, smooth, and a little heavy, this is the longan wood in the south, right?" ”
The old man was really stunned, he didn't expect Zhang Can's first piece of wood to be accurate, and he didn't know if it was a coincidence or a real acquaintance, so he nodded after being stunned, but he still didn't say anything, so he let Zhang Can continue to say.
Zhang Can put the longan wood back on the shelf, then picked up the second piece of wood and touched it again, in fact, he was just pretending to do the touching, and as soon as he analyzed it, the results had already appeared in his mind.
Next, Zhang Can named the small wooden blocks on the shelf like a number of treasures, which made the old man stunned!
"This piece is ginkgo, this piece has a lot of grain changes, this is ash, this piece is boxwood, this piece is rosewood...... This piece is camphor wood......"
kept talking, Zhang Can didn't skip the wood at all, but identified each piece next to each piece, and every piece of wood did not admit that he was wrong, and after talking about it, he almost said all the small pieces of wood on the shelf, and there were only ten or twenty pieces left!
The old man was stunned for a long time, and seeing that Zhang Can was still talking, he immediately shook his hand and said, "Okay, okay, you don't need to say any more, this condition is considered to have passed you, and I will cut the stone for you, but don't worry, I still have something to tell you!" ”
"Okay!" Zhang Can smiled and stopped, of course he was full of confidence in the names he just said.
The old man was also shocked, these small pieces of wood were obtained by him with decades of painstaking efforts, with a person who was so familiar with wood materials, if he didn't get these wood materials with his own hands, he would not be able to recognize them all, but Zhang Can didn't spend much effort to say all of them accurately, which made the old man feel incredible, thought about it, and felt that Zhang Can might be a child of a carpentry family, and it was very likely that he had that ability to face wood over the years. But there is always something incredible in my heart.
The old man went to a table inside, took out the key from his waist and opened the lock on the table, and then took out two small pieces of wood, which were smaller, only two or three centimeters thick, more than two inches long, and a little black in color, but it could be seen that the two pieces of wood were not of the same texture, not of the same variety.
After placing two small pieces of wood on the table, the old man beckoned to Zhang Can: "Young man, come and see this, what kind of wood is this?" ”
