At this time, Master Xiao Zhao was also immersed in it, as if he had entered a state of selflessness, made a mark, and then cut the rough embryo and shaped.

This process used to be done by hand, but now with modern tools, it is different, the place to cut, with a grinder, the drilling, there is a drill bit for drilling, the speed is almost more than half, the first rough embryo, soon came out.

The first time the rough embryo came out, Master Xiao Zhao cleaned it again, took it in his hand again, looked at it carefully, and then went up again, marked, this time the time of the mark on the picture was much longer than before, and it was much finer, about a dozen places, Master Xiao Zhao changed it once, and changed it a second time, the most, reached four or five times.

This was followed by cutting and grinding, and this time it took almost half the time compared to the previous one.

Then it was polished again, and by this time, Xu Dong, Mu Siqing and others had slowly seen that what Master Xiao Zhao wanted to do was to make an ordinary jade statue of Guanyin sitting on the lotus.

Of course, this is not to say that it can be seen immediately that this is a delicate statue of Guanyin sitting on a lotus, but in the impression of Xu Dongmu Siqing and others, it is roughly like that.

It didn't take a few minutes for a three-dimensional human figure to be roughly polished, and at this time, Master Xiao Zhao cleaned the human sample and uploaded the picture again.

In this way, in the last picture, carved for a while, polished for a while, and in the whole project, all the body and mind of Master Xiao Zhao were completely immersed in it, as if between heaven and earth, there was only the tool that kept jumping in his hand, and the statue of Guanyin that gradually took shape.

Half an hour passed, and Master Xiao Zhao finished carving the last lotus flower of this small jade piece, polished and polished it again, and then put down all the tools and let out a long breath.

The whole process, it was less than an hour, a very delicate Guanyin statue appeared vividly in Xu Dong's hands, Zhang Juncheng, Mu Siqing both, the atmosphere did not dare to take a bite, Xiao Zhao Master carved out of this Guanyin, whether it is speed, or fine Cheng dù, has been beyond imagination.

Xu Dong played with this piece of Guanyin statue that had just been carved out by Master Xiao Zhao, only to see that this Guanyin eyebrows were like a small moon, eyes like double stars, solemn and graceful, wearing a crown, wearing a heavenly robe, and a close-fitting Luo skirt at the waist. Wearing the heavenly clothes of Guanyin Bodhisattva, taking the net bottle of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and occupying the lotus platform of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

After looking at it for a while, Xu Dong felt that the face of this Guanyin Bodhisattva was very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, very similar, but definitely not like it.

Xu Dong looked at it for a while, and then he thought of a word "things are gods", this Guanyin's face is indeed somewhat similar to Mu Siqing's appearance, but in Xu Dong's opinion, this Guanyin is like a woman's softness, but it does not have the kind of rigidity that Mu Siqing has been restrained, and without the restrained rigidity and fierceness, Mu Siqing is not Mu Siqing.

"Miss Mou......" Zhang Juncheng took the Guanyin statue in Xu Dong's hand, looked at it for a while, and couldn't help but shout.

"I'll you, isn't this Miss Mou! Mom pulls a bar, this eyebrows, this eye, and this chin, hehe, mom pulls a bar, this craft, it's really home......"

As soon as Zhang Juncheng opened his mouth and closed his mouth, he had to "I'll take it" and "Mom pull a", several people have long been used to it, listening to scolding words, in fact, he is appreciating Master Zhao's craftsmanship,

In addition to being amazed, Zhang Juncheng said with a smile: "Master Xiao Zhao, you have been practicing for a few years, it seems that you have two or three years of knife skills, mom pulls a bar, this thing carved out is really loved, I'll take it, catch up with Ming'er, I'll buy a piece of good jadeite, let you carve it for me......"

Master Xiao Zhao is a little embarrassed, when it comes to skill, how can you do this between three or two years, not to mention the selection of materials in front, just design the picture, just this one, at least four or five years of skill, a famous carver, generally speaking, he also has the level of a master of calligraphy and painting, and the subsequent carving technology, but also at least a few decades of skills, this is not ingenious!

Engraving needs several necessary factors, one is talent, the second is patience, the third is skill, one is indispensable, first of all, on the talent of this item to eliminate the vast majority of people, the second and third items are now the most lacking in the general people, so this technology, deep and exquisite, has become less and less.

Master Xiao Zhao because of an accident, since the accident, can no longer participate in other work, but since then, more than ten years have been devoted to carving, not to mention six or seven years, carved things, at least there are hundreds of thousands of pieces, up to now, although it has not reached the point of "famous", but just to make ordinary carvings, it is definitely a small success.

Otherwise, this step would not have been possible anyway.

Between the admiration of several people, Master Xiao Zhao's daughter-in-law came out with a few bowls of noodles on a tray.

It seems that Master Xiao Zhao's family is not very wealthy, otherwise he would not use ordinary noodles to entertain guests.

Xu Dong, Mu Siqing, and Zhang Juncheng were not polite, took the noodles, and ate them, especially Zhang Juncheng, who was snoring, and after a while, a bowl of noodles and even the noodle soup were eaten cleanly.

Zhang Juncheng wiped the soup on his mouth, and said with a smile: "Mom, I haven't eaten such sweet noodles for a long time, I'll take it, sister-in-law, is there anything else?" ”

Xiao Zhao's daughter-in-law covered her mouth and smiled, this Zhang Juncheng was also refreshing, and he directly said that he wanted it before he was full, and at that moment, he answered, and went back to cook noodles for Zhang Juncheng again.

After eating the noodles, Master Xiao Zhao began to make the more difficult one for Xu Dong again, so he couldn't get it tonight, but Xu Dong didn't care.

While watching Master Xiao Zhao design and carving, while chatting with Master Zhao.

Xu Dong asked, Master Xiao Zhao has such a good craft, why not directly increase the intensity of production.

Master Xiao Zhao replied with a wry smile while marking the materials: "Since I broke my leg, there is no job, the family situation is getting worse, the children have to study, the old mother is also sick in bed all the year round, and we need money everywhere. ”

Mu Siqing smiled slightly and asked, "This jade processing business should be very profitable, why doesn't anyone believe it?" ”

Master Xiao Zhao smiled bitterly and said: "In this place of Tongcheng, big businessmen and big companies who do jade business, not to mention one or two places, think of people like us, if they want to make a name for themselves in such an environment, how easy is it, besides, with my own strength, how many things can I make in a year, and how much profit can I make......

After a slight pause, Master Xiao Zhao sighed again: "Limited to financial reasons, we can't get good materials, besides, even if we get good materials, my carving skills are not good, a few years ago I also scraped together a sum of money, trying to buy a good material, just carved out, not only failed to make money, but also lost tens of thousands of yuan......

Tens of thousands of yuan, for Xu Dong, Zhang Juncheng, Mu Siqing and others, it is indeed just a little pocket money, drizzle, but for a family like Master Xiao Zhao, that is an astronomical amount, Master Xiao Zhao said, until now, old accounts and new debts, living expenses, there are still forty or fifty thousand.

Xu Dong also sighed for Master Xiao Zhao's family, and then asked Master Xiao Zhao, if there is a processing factory, of course, it is a very ordinary small processing factory, please ask Master Xiao Zhao to design carving and processing in the past, what are the requirements of Master Xiao Zhao.

At this time, Mu Siqing also understood, Xu Dong did not hesitate to break his promise and did not go back to have this promised dinner with Sang's mother and others, it turned out that he took a fancy to Master Xiao Zhao's carving skills.

However, Xu Dong discussed with Li Siyan about opening a processing factory, Xu Dong never told Mu Siqing, discussing the matter of finding a master who designed and carved it, and Mu Siqing didn't know.

But now that Xu Dong said it so bluntly, Mu Siqing remembered that Xu Dong cooperated with Qin Yu to buy a mineral vein, and if he wanted to make a lot of money, of course he had his own processing plant!

Master Xiao Zhao sighed slightly and said: "What conditions are not conditional, big companies and big businessmen, if you want to invite, they are all very famous and good masters, people like me, where will people look at them?" ”

Xu Dong shook his head and said: "If Master Xiao Zhao is unwilling, I don't dare to say more, if Master Xiao Zhao has that meaning, I know that there is such a place, which needs talents like Master Xiao Zhao, and the conditions are quite generous......"

Master Xiao Zhao looked at Xu Dong and said very gratefully: "Little brother, thank you for your advice, if there is really such a place, I will definitely not miss it." ”

Xu Dong smiled, and asked Mu Siqing to leave an address for Master Xiao Zhao, and agreed, tomorrow, let Master Xiao Zhao go to the antique street to talk to Li Siyan in Lao Lin Yuan.

Master Xiao Zhao carefully collected the address left by Mu Siqing, and then asked Xu Dong if he seemed to be familiar with the situation over there, could he introduce the general situation over there.

Xu Dong smiled and said simply: "Over there, because of business needs, I am going to open a small processing workshop, Master Xiaozhao, you have this skill, in the past, that is the first batch of personnel, no matter in terms of salary and treatment, it must be much better......

Master Xiao Zhao listened, and a smile gradually appeared on his originally somewhat difficult face.
