Chapter 309: Craftsmanship
Guo Fatzi waved his fist and said, "This dead old man ran to fish for pearls, but he didn't tell me?" β
"Haha!" Seeing this, Yang Kang was also amused, and said, "You won't give him wine next time." β
"Yes!" Guo Fatzi nodded, looked at Yang Kang playing with the pearl, and asked, "Can you set this pearl on the dragon bracelet?" β
"Yes!" Yang Kang took off the dragon bracelet from his hand, gestured for a while, and said, "This dragon's mouth was originally inlaid with pearls, the Qing Dynasty royal family loved pearls, and the East Pearl is famous, this bead has a good color, red and black look good together, plus it is big, and the light is very strong, so it is very suitable." I'll go to the master of the gold shop tomorrow to set it for me. β
"Hmm." Guo Fatzi nodded.
"By the way, you can keep an eye on that old man for me tomorrow." Yang Kang said.
"Huh?" Guo Fatzi was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's wrong?" β
"Nothing!" Yang Kang said, "That's it. β
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Guo Fatzi immediately stopped saying anything, cleaned up for a while, looked at the sky and said, "You should rest early!" β
"Hmm!" Yang Kang said, immediately turned on the computer, found a book, flipped through it casually, and it didn't take long for him to feel sleepy and fall asleep in a daze.
He originally thought that if he said those words to Mu Yi yesterday, Mu Yi would have some knots, after all, he was really anxious yesterday, but when he went downstairs early this morning, he saw Mu Yi gossiping with Guo Fatzi.
"Yo, old man. Good morning. Yang Kang greeted.
"Good morning." Mu Yi greeted with a smile and said, "Have breakfast?" β
Yang Kang nodded, Guo Fatzi brought him the fried soy milk and fritters, Yang Kang asked, "Have you eaten it?" β
As a result, Guo Fatzi and Mu Yi had already eaten, and he obviously got up late again, Mu Yi seemed to have forgotten last night's unpleasantness, and said: "Akang, I heard that you got a baby yesterday?" β
"Huh?" Yang Kang was stunned. Asked. "What baby?"
"What kind of agate pillow is that?" Mu Yi smiled, "Hurry up, take it out and show it to me." Is it Princess Gaoyang's golden silk agate pillow? β
"Fatty. What about pillows? Yang Kang asked. Didn't we put the storage room last night? He wants to see it, you take it out and show it to him. β
"This fat man just bragged to me for a long time, and I asked him to show it to me. He categorically disagreed. Mu Yi smiled, "Fortunately, my old man has also seen some things, otherwise, he would have been killed by him today." β
"Hmph, you definitely haven't seen Princess Gaoyang's golden silk agate pillow." Guo Fatzi said sepreously, "I won't show you." β
Mu Yi looked at Yang Kang and said with a smile: "Okay, Akang, take it out and show it to me." β
"Good!" Yang Kang agreed with a smile, turned around and walked to the storage room, and took out the golden agate pillow and the half of the golden agate jade.
"Oh oh oh, you wait!" Mu Yi patted his head and said, "Every time I ask you to bring something over, you don't remember, I'll get it for you!" β
Yang Kang came out of the storage room with a golden agate pillow and half a golden agate jade, and Mu Yi also walked over with two paintings.
"Something, show me!" When Guo Fatzi saw it, he was busy and rushed up to see it.
Mu Yi took a step back, then raised his foot and kicked at Guo Fatzi's crotch.
Guo Fatzi was stunned for a moment, hurriedly retreated, narrowly avoided Mu Yi's leg, and couldn't help but shout: "Dead old man, what are you going to do, let Lao Tzu cut off his children and grandchildren?" β
"Go wash your hands and look at the paintings." Mu Yi said, "You also know how to do it, don't you understand such a little rule?" β
"I thought you didn't care about that." Yang Kang couldn't help but laugh.
"I don't care!" Mu Yi said, "But who let this dead fat man tease me just now?" β
Guo Fatzi was dumbfounded, but he still went to wash his hands, Yang Kang took the two paintings from Mu Yi's hands, unfolded them, and said with emotion: "Old man, your craftsmanship is really good." β
"Of course!" Mu Yi smiled, "In terms of calligraphy and painting, Xiao Han is far inferior to me." As he spoke, he opened the old baggage, took the golden agate pillow, kept looking at it, and kept stroking it with his hands.
At this time, Guo Fatzi also washed his hands and came out, he didn't have much interest in the "Cat and Butterfly Picture", but for the "Begonia Spring Sleep Picture", he only glanced at it, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"This beauty is so fucking beautiful, I didn't expect that there was really "Begonia Spring Sleep" in this world, I thought it was made up by Old Master Cao." Guo Fatzi watched and was amazed.
Yang Kang just smiled, in fact, although Guo Fatzi is a big fat man, unkempt on the surface, but this product is actually a face control, he likes a beautiful thing, when he saw the jade pendant of "Butterfly Love Flower", he said that he wanted to talk about life ideals with Guifei Niangniang.
Then, something unexpected happened to Yang Kang, Guo Fatzi actually held the two paintings and pedaled upstairs.
"Hey, hey, fatty, what are you doing?" Yang Kang shouted busily.
"Little prince, don't be stingy, I'll hang in the bedroom for a few days." Guo Fatzi shouted.
Yang Kang couldn't cry and laughed, and said, "The concubine will not come to see you at night." β
"When Jia Baoyu saw this painting, he had a spring dream, and then soaked in the fairy girl, and since then he has appreciated the customs of the world." Mu Yi smiled indifferently, "I hung in the room and watched for a few days, and there was no fairy girl dreaming......"
Yang Kang didn't wait for him to finish, and couldn't help but scold: "Dead old man, as soon as you are old, you can't learn well?" Besides, at your age, the fairy girl doesn't dislike you for being old? β
Mu Yi smiled: "For humans, I am indeed old, but for immortals, I am still extremely young. β
"You-" This time, Yang Kang didn't know what to say at all, he remembered this sentence, it seemed to be written in a certain book? Or it's a line from a TV series, but he really can't remember which book it is.
"Akang, what are you going to do with this pillow?" Mu Yi asked.
"Huh?" Yang Kang was stunned. Asked, "What to do?" I like the pillow very much, so I'll keep it for fun first. β
"I mean, it's shabby, it's not good-looking." Mu Yi smiled, "Do you want me to wash it out for you, and then connect the broken gold thread for you?" β
"You still know this?" Yang Kang was surprised.
"Understand." Mu Yi nodded and said, "There is no problem with the maintenance of agate. Filigree repair is delicate work. It's not a problem, as long as there are tools, there are gold wires, it's easy. β
Mu Yi looked at him. Suddenly asked, "Don't you want to learn?" β
"Huh?" Yang Kang was stunned. These days. Although Mu Yi always watches TV, if he has the opportunity, he will seem to unconsciously talk to him about some technical work. Then he asked him something he didn't understand, and he tried to answer it as much as he could.
"Will you teach me?" Yang Kang was overjoyed and asked busily.
"Hmm!" Mu Yi nodded and said, "If you are willing to learn, I will teach you the basics, I taught you all the basic things in the early years, and the rest are some key tricks, if you are smart enough, it will be enough in about a week." β
"Really?" Yang Kang was overjoyed, hurriedly grabbed him, and asked, "Learned, am I not like Xiao Han?" β
Mu Yi shook his head and said, "I learned it, that's it, it won't be like Xiao Han." β
"Why?" Yang Kang almost collapsed.
"If you just deal with ordinary people, your current level is already very good, but if you want to reach the level of Mu Xiu Yulin, you are far from - in fact, Xiao Han does not have his level." Mu Yi shook his head and said, "To learn or not?" β
"Learn, it's a fool not to learn." Yang Kang said busily.
"Starting this afternoon, I'll only teach you for a week." Mu Yi said, "In addition, my apprentice is extremely strict, and if he can't meet my requirements, I will fight, so you'd better be prepared." β
"Won't it?" Yang Kang looked at Mu Yi in a daze and said, "Don't scare me, okay?" β
"I didn't scare you." Mu Yi smiled and said, "If it were normal, I really wouldn't beat you, and you're not the Xiao Han I hateβbut during the apprenticeship, I will." β
"Cheng, I can't meet your requirements, you just have to fight." Yang Kang said, "That's it, I'll wait for a trip to Langyuan and bring back what you want." β
"Hmm!" Mu Yi nodded, and as he spoke, he actually held the golden agate pillow and half a jade pillow like this, and turned around and walked towards Yuzhen Zhai.
Waiting for him to leave, Guo Fatzi walked down and asked, "Little prince, you won't really learn from that old man, right?" β
"I don't know how many people there are, crying and shouting and begging him, but he won't teach." Yang Kang smiled, "This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is placed in front of me, how can I miss it?" β
"But-" Guo Fatzi wanted to persuade him, the old man's apprentice was indeed very strict, whether it was Xiao Han now or Mu Xiu back then, they were all products of his stick education.
"Little prince, you don't know!" Guo Fatzi said, "Mu Xiu gave birth to Xiaohan back then, and he didn't dare to let that old man touch it, and that old man loves to beat children when he is idle." No, he didn't have Xiao Han to beat you up, he found an excuse to beat you. β
"As long as he really teaches me, beat me!" Yang Kang smiled, but he didn't care, and said, "Let's go to Langyuan, find the master to get me the black gold dragon bracelet, inlay the pearl, and I will ask for gold silk back by the way." β
Guo Fatzi nodded and agreed, and drove the two to Langyuan together.
Yang Kang took Guo Fatzi and walked directly to the back, Gao Quan saw him and hurriedly greeted him.
"Master Gao, is Master Zhou here?" Yang Kang greeted with a smile.
"Where are you? Busy in the back. Gao Quan smiled, "Why don't I call him?"
"No, I'll take a look at the back!" Yang Kang said, walked directly to the gold processing room in the back, and saw a thin old man about the same age as Gao Quan, smelting gold.
"Old Zhou, the little prince is here." Gao Quan greeted.
"Huh?" Master Zhou listened, looked up, then stopped the fire, waited for the gold to cool down, then stood up and said, "Boss, why did you come here?" Something? β
As he spoke, Master Zhou wrapped the cooled gold in a soft cloth and put it in the safe on the side, and then said, "Boss, go to my office and sit down?" β
"No, that's it!" Yang Kang smiled, "I'll ask Master Zhou for some help." β
"Huh?" Master Zhou was stunned and asked, "What help?" I don't know anything, I just make gold and silverware. β
"Isn't it gold and silver?" As he spoke, Yang Kang took the burden from Guo Fatzi's hand, opened it, and said, "Trouble Master Zhou to take a look!" β
When Master Zhou saw the black gold jewelry box, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly took it, saying, "Good things?" Ugin's? β
Yang Kang nodded and smiled: "Yes, Ugin's!" β
"Antiques?" Master Zhou asked.
"Hmm!" Yang Kang smiled, "Things from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty." β
"The craftsmanship is very good, I'll help you make a light, not only will it not destroy the characteristics of the antiques, but it can be as good as new, little boss, you go to my office to sit." Master Zhou smiled, "Boss, is this thing going to be shot, or is you going to keep it for yourself?" β
"What's the difference?" Yang Kang asked puzzled.
"If you want to shoot, you can only pay attention to the light." Master Zhou said, "I have done a stupid thing before, Ou Lao's pair of bracelets, someone has already ordered, but it is really not very good-looking, and it is also deformed, he brought it to me, I helped him just right, but because it is not good-looking, I carefully beat the light, this is because I know that it is an antique, otherwise, I will quench it directly."
As a result, the antique dealer looked at it and said that I had destroyed the pulp, so I don't want it! β
Yang Kang listened to it and couldn't help laughing, in fact, gold and silverware are the easiest to catch the eye in the antique industry, and it is also very rare in the industry.
After the lighting, if there is no trace of that time, it is reasonable for the antique dealer to be cautious.
"And this!" Yang Kang said as he opened the black gold jewelry box, took out the black gold dragon bracelet inside, and said, "At present, I am not going to sell it, so please ask Master Zhou to make it look better for me, in addition, this dragon bracelet has lost a bead, and I also want to inlay it." β
"Do you have the beads?" Master Zhou took the dragon bracelet from his hand, only glanced at it, and suddenly exclaimed, "What exquisite craftsmanship." β
As he spoke, he walked to the workbench, took out a magnifying glass, and looked at it carefully, little by little, and the more he looked, the more obsessed he became.
"Little prince, don't care, Lao Zhou sees these things, just like a dog sees." Gao Quan said with a smile.
"Lao Gao, what are you talking about, you and I, who play with stones, have no common language." Master Zhou said with emotion, "This kind of craftsmanship is simply breathtaking, too exquisite." β
"Master Zhou, help me light it, and then inlay this bead on it." Yang Kang said, and immediately took out the red bead from the pocket of his shirt, handed it to him, and said, "The bead is not the original, it is newly found by me." β
"Little prince, show me!" Gao Quan was standing beside him, and when he saw this, he was busy talking.
Yang Kang handed him the beads with his hand, and Master Zhou smiled: "I know that when you see a stone, you are like a dog seeing." (To be continued......)
