"Master, I understand what you mean, whether a piece of jade is worth or not, the key is not in the jade, but in the person, the tree is dead, the person is alive, you have to use your brains more." Tang Dashao said in a deep voice.

"Hehe, that's what it means, you see this piece of jade, the texture is not very good, it can be said to be the middle and lower, if it is cut into small pieces, made into jade pendants, pendants and the like to sell, a piece is estimated to be worth dozens of yuan, hundreds of dollars, the whole piece of jade is completely divided, and it can be sold for tens of thousands of yuan at most."

"But after such a process, the main part is carved into a mountain, the fracture is carved into a cliff, and the variegated part is carved into a forest, the value of this jade has completely changed, and I can conclude that when I completely carve this ornament, its value will definitely not be less than two million, and it will increase in value in the future!" Xing Lao said.

"Look at it this way, Brother Wang, he has made a lot of money." Tang Dashao said with a smile.

"Of course, how can jade depreciate when it passes through my hands? Unless the whole thing is demolished, even if it is demolished, I have a way to make it not lose money......" Xing Lao said with some pride.

"That is, Master, your manual fee is not collected for nothing, it is not ......," Tang Dashao complimented.

At this time, Shi Yan walked over with three shelves in his hands, and each of the shelves had a picture, as if it was made in the form of a roll-up banner, and then fixed on the shelf......

"These four drawings add up to a panorama, I heard that there is a CAD tool recently, which can be designed by the computer first, which is much more convenient than drawing, but unfortunately I can't use it, and your third senior brother doesn't understand." Xing Lao shook his head and said.

"CAD tools? It should be a computer software, I don't know much about this thing, if you have a need, I'll ask Brother Wang to find a master in this area to teach you? Tang Dashao said softly.

"Hehe, this is okay, and let your three senior brothers learn together, so you don't have to worry about drawing." Xing Lao said with a smile.

"Master, you drew all four pictures by hand?" Tang Dashao was surprised as if he had discovered a new continent.

Although these four pictures look quite strange, they are not as majestic as the landscape pictures seen on weekdays, but the orderly lines, pine branches and cypress leaves are also well-founded, and this painting is also a must in the eyes of Tang Dashao's appreciation.

"Well, it's all painted by me, before we carve something, we always have to design the shape, size, generally speaking, it is measured by hand, and then drawn, this hand is a necessary skill for carvers, and you will have to learn it in the future." Xing Lao nodded.

"Master, I feel that you are no less than some painters." Tang Da Shaodao.

"It's not inferior to a painter, that's definitely an exaggeration, you ask me to paint a person, a landscape, I definitely can't draw it, but you ask me to draw a bracelet, draw a design drawing of an ornament, you can. It's like a carpenter, he can draw tables, chairs and benches at any time, but I can't do that, I have a specialization in the arts, and that's probably it. Xing Lao shook his head and said.

"Yes, junior brother, Master doesn't know how many design drawings he has drawn over the years, there are several thick stacks in the small warehouse, if you are interested, you can look through it yourself." Shi Yan said with a smile.

"Master, can you give me these drawings?" Tang Dashao suddenly asked.

"For you? What do you want it to do? Xing Lao asked.

"Exhibition!" Tang Dashao gently spit out two words from his mouth......

"Exhibitions? Can this thing be exhibited too? Xing Lao asked a little dumbfounded.

"Why not? These drawings bear witness to the journey of a carver's life, from a beginner to a master, and of course can be exhibited. ”

"If Master is willing, after my museum is completed, I can open a special exhibition hall for Master, hang all these drawings of Master, and then explain each drawing, which will definitely attract a large number of people who are interested in carving." Tang Dashao said softly.

"Hehe, what you said this little guy, I was a little moved, what do people live for? It's nothing more than fame and fortune, as soon as your exhibition hall opens, if it really becomes popular, then your master may really leave a strong mark in the carving world like Lu Zigang's predecessors. Xing Lao smiled lightly.

"Master, did you agree?" Tang Dashao said in surprise.

His museum must be big enough, but the collection is not enough, and it is not bad to open a master-level exhibition hall of engraving drawings, which can attract a lot of popularity......

"No, I don't say yes!" Xing Lao shook his head lightly and said.

"Why?" Tang Dashao asked puzzled.

You always said to yourself, people live for a lifetime, for fame and fortune, if these drawings enter the museum, and then publicize, it will definitely be popular, once this fame is there, the profit will come, fame and fortune, Tang Dashao is a little puzzled, why would the master refuse?

"Because I haven't really taken that step yet, I don't have the qualifications." Xing Lao shook his head and said.

"Take that step?" Tang Dashao wondered.

"Well, it's the realm of the Grandmaster! The so-called master realm, in fact, not only me, many people have reached it, but the realm of the grandmaster, except for Lu Zigang's predecessors, I have not heard of anyone who can reach it, there are many romantic figures in the carving world, and your master and I used to be one of them. ”

"We have all reached the realm of masters, but we can't break through to the realm of grandmasters, we can't reach this realm, Jing will never be able to experience the mentality of Lu Zigang's predecessors, and we can't carve his unique Zigang jade, let alone pass it on to future generations."

"Your kind of hype-like propaganda may be able to raise my reputation to a peak, and even become a representative of the carving industry, but those are not what I want, people are rare, fame and fortune are just clouds of the past, what I really want is to be able to take that step and carve a real grandmaster-level work, when that time, these things of mine will really have the qualifications to enter your museum!"

When Xing Lao was talking about the grandmaster-level works, his eyes were shining, and he was obviously extremely longing for the grandmaster realm......

"Master, Grandmaster-level carving, you should know very well what you need...... "Tang Dashao said softly.

Grandmaster-level works seem to have spirituality, but this spirituality is given by the author himself, and in order to endow it with spirituality, the author will consume a lot of essence and energy, and even life force......

"Of course I know, I have also read the books of Lu Zigang's predecessors, maybe I will die because of this, but I am afraid that I will die at the end of the day, I am afraid, I will not have the opportunity to hear the Tao in this life......" Xing Lao sighed.

Tang Dashao looked at Xing Lao, and his heart was full of admiration......

He is an old man, his own master, but he is also a respectable seeker, for the sake of the Tao in his heart, he can ignore his life, regardless of qiē......

Seeing that he was so persistent as a master, Tang Dashao couldn't help but wonder, what was he pursuing? Is there anything that you have to do to risk your life?

"Okay, okay, this topic is a bit heavy, you kid wants to see those things, just go and see them, it's good to see more, it's good for you to see more, it's good for you to see more."

"I know that your kid is a big family, and it is impossible for you to dedicate yourself to the carving career, and you will dedicate every qiē to carving, but I still hope that you can learn more, and you will not be pressured by more skills." Xing Lao smiled and patted Tang Dashao's shoulder.

The topic just now is really heavy, what kind of death, seeking the Tao and the like, some things can be done as long as you cling to them......

"Well, I understand, Master." Tang Dashao nodded.

"Haha, come on, junior brother, let's take a look at this panorama we designed, how about it? Do you have any comments or advice? Shi Yan said with a smile.

"Senior brother said that I laughed, I don't have any opinions, but there are just a few small mentions......" When Tang Dashao said the second half of the sentence, his voice was a little weak......

Shi Yan originally listened to the first half of the sentence, which was quite comfortable, but the second half of the sentence suddenly made him a little depressed......

This little junior brother is really ashamed, he and the master don't know how many times this panoramic design has been modified, and they think they have reached the point of perfection, but this guy actually really mentions yì, and it is a few ......

"What's the matter, let's hear about it......" Xing Lao said.

"Master......" Shi Yan looked at Xing Lao Dao.

"It's okay, let your little junior brother finish!"

"Okay, junior brother, you come ......" Shi Yan was a little unwilling......

When Tang Dashao saw this situation, he also knew that he seemed to be in a hurry, after all, this drawing must be the final draft that the master and the third senior brother had worked hard to revise for a long time......

"Master, Third Senior Brother, I just mentioned a little bit of Xiaojian, you look at this place, the dark green jade is in the form of flakes, Master and the Third Senior Brother plan to make this place into a forest, in fact, I feel that it will be more appropriate to make it into a lawn, because this place belongs to the gentle slope ......"

"And this place, the idea of the cliff, the color of the jade here, some white, can be carved into the shape of a river, the dark green above should not be cut off, carved into a single-plank bridge in the shape of a beam, and here, here ......"

However, after a while, Tang Dashao proposed five ......

In fact, none of these came up by himself, but at the moment he just entered the door, Lu Zigang's figure appeared in his mind, and the jade stone was carved in Tang Dashao's mind, and it had already been carved by Lu Zigang......

Strictly speaking, Tang Dashao had already seen the most perfect jade ornaments, so after seeing the panoramic design drawn by Xing Lao and Shi Yan, he couldn't help but say something different from what he saw......

After Xing Lao and Shi Yan listened, they first fell into deep thought, and then their faces showed ecstasy, as if Tang Fei's few small mentions could make the overall effect of jade ornaments go to the next level......

This little guy is really amazing......
