189, small-leaved red sandalwood

Because he didn't want to see that Min Hao at home, Wang Tian slept at Fang Chenggong's house. The first thing Fang Chenggong did when he returned home was to write an apology and promise to open a new book in a week, and the type of the new book has been thought out, and it will not disappoint everyone again.

With the previous experience of close to success, Fang Chenggong is no longer the clown who repeatedly hit the street on the novel website before, he seems to have found inspiration to write a novel, and his grasp of the god-level ruined son of rebirth suggested by Wang Tian is more handy than the previous one.

This night, Wang Tian and Orange slept soundly, perhaps because of the fatigue of the journey, so that the two of them slept until dawn, and early the next morning, Wang Tian received a call from Xie Bin of the carving shop.

"Brother Wang Tian, I heard that you are back?" On the other end of the phone was Xie Bin's slightly excited voice.

Wang Tian was still a little tired, but he looked at his phone, it was already past seven o'clock, and he got up and said. "Xie Bin, yes, I only arrived last night, so I didn't tell you."

"Well, I also see that school is about to start, and you should come back, so give it a try. Brother Wang Tian, report the work, the new store has been renovated, Xie Liang and Qiao Lina have also started in the old store, the recent eleventh long holiday, the business is too hot, our store is still not enough, we work overtime until eleven o'clock every night. ”

"Thank you for your hard work, didn't you recruit anyone?" Wang Tian asked.

"That's right." Xie Bin remembered and said busily, "I forgot to report, I have already recruited a person, her name is Wang Ziye, and Brother Tian, you are still a fellow countryman." Because there are many carving seniors in her hometown, she has also learned a good craft. So I took it upon myself to call her to help. ”

"What is the call for discretion, is this business section you responsible for? It's good that the recruitment is there. ”

"However, I still have to take a look at it, Brother Tian." Xie Bin said with a smile.

"Okay. I'm going to meet her in the store now. In addition, the old store will have to work hard for you, and our business is estimated to be launched in large quantities soon, and your burden as a supervisor will become heavier and heavier..."

"Hmm." Xie Bin was so taken seriously, he really felt that he was following Wang Tian, where did he feel tired.

After talking to Xie Bin on the phone, Wang Tian did not set off directly to the store, but continued to dial Lu Zhu's mobile phone.

These days. Lu Zhu had been waiting for news from Wang Tian at home, and when Wang Tian returned from India, the antique shop would open immediately. Lu Zhu, the shopkeeper in the hall, is naturally indispensable. Because of the lack of manpower in the early stage, Wang Tian also planned to ask the two of them to do it in the antique shop first, and if they were really not interested, they would do transportation. In a word. Wang Tian felt that the two brothers still had some skills.

After Lu Zhu learned that Wang Tian had found some top national treasures in India, his heart was also quite agitated, but because he was going to accompany his wife to the hospital today, he had to wait for the next day to come back to see the treasures that Wang Tianyuan brought back from a foreign country.

Naturally, he was even more looking forward to Wang Tian transporting these treasures to the antique shop, so that he would definitely be able to attract more and bigger business.

Wang Tian didn't bring things to the new antique shop for the time being, but Wang Tian brought dozens of small-leaved rosewood carvings that he bought back from India. Take it to the store to learn and sell.

Before going out, Wang Tian also put one of the more exquisitely made pipe leaves rosewood on the bell net by the way. Make an offer of 500,000 and see if anyone wants to ask for it!

Wang Tian has been accustomed to the way of online transactions, and the big collectors hidden on the bell network have never hesitated to pay for their favorite cultural relics, which is also the benefit of the Internet e-commerce era.

When I arrived at the flower and bird antique shop, a young girl was sitting on the table and carving, her delicate little hand was not carved wood, but a fist-sized stone, which at this time had a rather shapely, molded into a cute little fat pig.

The little fat pig also made a hole in his head, just enough to put a coin in, and it can be seen that this work is intended to make a piggy bank.

Not to mention the carving skills, the heat of the round carving, just this creativity, the stone carving pig piggy bank called Wang Tian felt very innovative.

Because the general piggy bank is made of mud and then glazed and fired, it is called underglaze handicrafts. But the little girl completely relied on the handiwork, making the piggy bank more vivid, slender, and a pure handmade product.

I have long had the idea of DIY some works, and Wang Tian has also talked about carving some fashionable and novel things, but Wang Tian, who has never acted on it, admires this girl's action very much, and immediately adds a good impression.

The girl finally saw Wang Tian standing at the door after completing the work, and raised her head with a smile, this girl is particularly handsome, her two eyes are not big, there is a pure, slightly silly feeling, her face is as white as water, but her whole body is too thin, and she belongs to the chest of the runway, which is caused by malnutrition when she was a child.

Is it a child in the mountain village, Wang Tian understood it very well, and looked at the girl's ignorant and kind eyes and felt a little more distressed.

"Hello, do you want to buy a literary engraving?" When the girl saw Wang Tian, she thought that the former was a customer, and blinked her eyes.

Wang Tian suddenly didn't want to tell him that he was the owner of this shop, so he said calmly. "Well, yes, I want to ask, how much does this little pig you carved, I want to buy it."

"You say this little pig??" The girl hesitated a little, but smiled, and after the white teeth flashed a piece of light, she said, "This little pig was originally a birthday gift from me to myself, and today is my birthday, but if you want to buy it, I will sell it to you." ”

"Oh? It's your birthday, so forget it, give yourself a birthday present. ”

Wang Tian said with a smile, it happened that Xie Bin walked in from outside, and saw Wang Tian at the door of the store, talking to Wang Ziye, and immediately came up to introduce.

"Ye Zi, this is the Boss Wang Tian I told you... Brother Wang Tian, this is Ye Zi. ”

"Huh?"

Wang Ziye was a little overwhelmed when she heard that this was Mr. Wang in front of her, and her eyes were clearly uneasy and panicked, and she panicked, "Mr. Wang, I, I really didn't know it was you, so I didn't have any sense of proportion when I spoke just now." If you like this little pig, I'll give it to you. ”

Ye Zi grabbed the little pig as she spoke, her little hands still trembling slightly.

Wang Tianyi patted the hand of the leaf and said. "You didn't say anything that I thought was inappropriate. And what you just said gave me a reminder that this little pig is still yours, it's your birthday gift! In addition, Xie Bin, you register the birthday of our clerk, and everyone will have a birthday cake from the company on their birthday in the future, a red envelope of 100 yuan, and a birthday banquet. If you don't want to have a banquet, add another 100 yuan. ”

Wang Tian spoke very decisively. Very firm, Xie Bin and Wang Ziye both warmed their hearts, Xie Bin will remember that Wang Tian has not interviewed Wang Ziye yet. said, "I know, what do you see about Ye's interview?" ”

"I've seen Ye Zi's carving skills just now, and there is no problem. I think I'm fighting with you. Of course, there is no need for an interview. Let me ask you more, what is the salary you are setting for her now? ”

"Oh, I haven't set a salary for Ye Zi yet, waiting for you, Brother Tian." Xie Bin replied.

Xie Bin is the supervisor, but he can't go beyond the bounds, Wang Tian smiled, "Then three thousand a month, and there will be a commission for more work." Well dry, leaves. ”

Wang Tian said and beckoned Xie Bin to the side. In fact, for this leaf, Wang Tian didn't know why he had a sense of intimacy. Especially when I saw her appearance, I felt a little familiar.

Wang Tian couldn't help but ask. "This prince Ye, you say that I am a fellow countryman?"

Xie Bin nodded. "yes, she said she's from Yamaki Village. However, she was away from Yamaki Village for a long time. Since I was a child, I have followed my mother, and life has been very hard. ”

Hearing that it was a single-parent child, Wang Tian's heart was stirred, and like herself, Wang Ziye undoubtedly lacked the love that originally belonged to her parents.

Wang Tian gritted his teeth and said, "Let's train this girl well, I think it's not bad." Also, isn't it her birthday today, I don't have time to eat with her, if you're okay, I'll hold a birthday party for her, call Qiao Lina and Xie Liang, and let her feel the warmth of our big family. ”

Wang Tian patted Xie Bin's shoulder, and Xie Bin knew what Wang Tian meant. nodded, "I know, Brother Tian, don't worry." ”

"Also, I have brought a batch of small-leaved rosewood carvings from India, and you can come with me to get them in my car."

Wang Tian and Xie Bin brought dozens of small-leaf rosewood carvings and placed them on the table, including the screen shrines, food boxes, incense burner covers, and beds, cabinets, candlesticks, and pen holders that are closely related to life.

Looking at these finely crafted carvings, Xie Bin and Wang Ziye couldn't help but admire.

Xie Bin is particularly fond of the carving of a money Buddha, which not only uses the round carving process to make the money Buddha into the form of a tumbler, but also uses the inlay technique to inlay the eyes of Maitreya Buddha with glass.

Maitreya Buddha, who can accommodate the big belly, only has a belly and a head, and is very particular about craftsmanship, and the form is absolutely impossible to achieve this exaggerated creativity in China.

So he caught Xie Bin's eyes all of a sudden.

And the attraction of the prince leaf is a fusion of the depth and shallow relief in one of the beast figures, there are lions, tigers, black bears, goshawks, beasts of prey, its whole layout is plump, scattered but not loose, many but not chaotic, the lines of the carving are smooth, the knife is clear, and the carving skills are completely brought into play to the extreme.

Naturally, each of the other carvings also has its expressiveness, whether it is exaggerated, or bird's-eye perspective, scattered perspective, in the design of each work, there will always be a memory point, and this memory point can completely make you identify with this handicraft and like it.

"Brother Tian, these carvings were all brought by you from India, it seems that the carving skills of that country in India are very powerful."

Xie Bin admired and said.

"Yes, as far as these carvings are concerned, not only the material is good, but the carving process is definitely first-class in China." Wang Ziye followed with appreciation.

Wang Tian explained, "In India, it may be that the environment in which they carve is different, because since childhood, their carving master has been carving on ivory and has developed a good craft. Moreover, Pterostilbene microphylla is endemic to India. They are only grown in Gudbergh and Chitor on the border of Tanmil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh in India. Although this plant is also precious in the local area, it is not as rare as in China, so there are relatively many people who use it for carving, and practice makes perfect. (To be continued......)
