Originally, Jiang Wei thought that bringing Chen Yi here was to increase the goodwill of these old men, but now, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, a talent like Brother Chen, no matter where he goes, will be like a rainbow, which will attract people's attention and appreciation.

And he has now become a soy sauce maker, like a passerby, no one cares about him at all, but his heart is full of excitement, Chen Yi has become a disciple of these old men, so he can naturally come here every day, and over time, even if he poachs one, it is a satisfying thing.

When they came to the yard, everyone sat down to rest, and Gu looked at Chen Yi's big dog lying on the ground honestly, and couldn't help but smile, what the owner looks like, what the dog looks like.

In the process of resting, Gu also made some painting exchanges with Chen Yi, and sighed at Chen Yi's painting level, before Jiang Wei's introduction, he knew that Chen Yi was learning painting from a bird keeper, which is a shocking thing.

In his opinion, even those who graduated from some big art academies may not have such a solid foundation in painting as Chen Yi, let alone such a peaceful mind.

From these things, it can be seen that Chen Yi's own efforts, which is what they appreciate very much.

Gu Gu and others didn't know about Chen Yi's paintings, and even Qian Lao and Yuan Lao were very impressed, if they had seen the crow and peacock picture painted by Chen Yi, their shock was far more than that.

And Bai Lao, who stayed in the courtyard just now to guard the door, heard that Chen Yi was able to identify the defects on Yu Lao's jade, and his painting skills were extraordinary. The same color of wonder rose.

This lad. He had some good feelings. But he didn't expect to be able to identify and paint, and when he heard that the ancient said that he wanted Chen Yi to experience the process of jade carving, he naturally thought of something, and he also had some expectations in his heart.

After that, after resting, Bai Lao suddenly pulled an old man and asked him to watch from the side. He went in to watch Chen Yi's experience, but the old man gave him a roll of his eyes, and left directly, leaving only the sentence that you are on duty today, which made Bai Lao a little crazy, but he could only stay in the courtyard with the blood wolf.

Under the ancient leadership, everyone came to the two connected machines, since it was for Chen Yi to experience, it was natural that someone should be next to Chen Yi to demonstrate, otherwise. Drawing skills alone are useless. It is necessary to have a deep familiarity with the techniques and tools of jade carving, so as to give the picture in your mind a complete production.

This demonstration work was carried out by Yu Lao, and Gu Gu assisted by the side, ensuring that Chen Yi could experience the jade carving process from beginning to end.

"Chen Xiaoyou, because this time is just for the experience, in order to avoid waste, let's use stick jade to carve, first teach you to carve a simple leaf jade pendant, this is jade carving, indispensable entry utensils, according to the aptitude, we have to choose two pieces of jade that are very similar to leaves, to maximize the use of jade, can not have too much waste." Yu Lao looked at Chen Yi, said with a smile, and then took Chen Yi to the material selection area next to him.

In this area, there are two boxes, which are full of jade of various shapes, one box is a large piece, and the other box is a small piece, which can't help but make people a little dazzled, Chen Yi took a look at it, and knew that these two boxes were all stick jade.

According to Yu Lao, these two boxes are specially provided for the practice of stick jade, the jade in the small box was bought back a few years ago, but because they have not accepted new apprentices for many years, their old jade carving masters, even if they have new ideas to test, are also a jade carving ornament, not this kind of small pieces of jade that can only be used as small pieces of jade ornaments, so this box of small pieces of jade, put here for a few years, it is not much use.

As for the slightly more expensive jade such as Hetian jade and jadeite, it was kept in a separate room to prevent any loss.

"Chen Xiaoyou, you pick one first, I'll find one similar to you." Yu Lao said to Chen Yi with a smile.

Chen Yi nodded, this box of jade is placed in front of him, it is really amazing, although most of the stalls in the antique city are also placed with dozens of jade, but they are not as spectacular as this pile of jade stacked together.

Looking at it casually, Chen Yi took out a jade stone that looked very much like a leaf with his hand, when he just got the identification system, he was also deceived by this stick jade, and was ridiculed by Boss Wang of Baoyu Xuan next door, now he doesn't have to touch it with his hands at all, just a few glances, he can tell that this is a stick jade.

The feel is not as delicate and silky as Hetian jade, and the color density cannot be compared, but this can only be seen by collectors who understand jade, and some who have just entered the industry cannot distinguish at all.

The best quality of the stick jade is only more than 1,000 pieces a kilogram, and the cheap one is only a few hundred kilograms, this box of jade is not satisfied, it looks like there are more than 20 kilograms, with the quality of these jade materials, the price is probably about 15,000, 15,000, with the jade pendant carved out by the old Yu just now, you can buy a few boxes.

Speaking of this, Chen Yi suddenly had a question, "Old Yu, with your jade carving level, you can carve a piece of jade casually, and you can sell it for tens of thousands of yuan, how to survive has become a problem." ”

"Haha, do you really believe the words of the middle-aged man just now, the jade carving factory used to be public, and we could only get some wages from it, but now the jade carving factory no longer exists, and no one cares about us, so we buy jade materials, and the carved things naturally belong to us."

"It's just that we stick to our homes, and we just want to preserve the last vitality and hope of the jade carving factory, although most of them are now pursuing some exaggerated jade, and we can't appreciate high-level jade carvings, but with our ability, survival, there is no problem, the middle-aged man just looked at the sticks and jade outside our yard, and we didn't let him enter the workshop at all." Hearing Chen Yi's words, the ancient man next to him laughed loudly, and then said.

Yu Lao also nodded, "Yes, Chen Xiaoyou, once we leave and go our separate ways, then the last inheritance location of Lingzhou jade carving will completely disappear, although we will be richer than now, but when others come to Lingzhou, they want to visit Lingzhou jade carving culture, where to go, to go to the workshop we opened, it will be a little ridiculous." ”

"To be honest, we don't look down on the prices offered by those jewelry companies at all, compared to money, the inheritance of Lingzhou's jade carving culture is the most important."

Chen Yi nodded movingly, for these old people who stick to the jade carving factory, I feel respect from the bottom of my heart, maybe some people's skills have not reached the level of Yu Lao, but if you go out and open a workshop, you will make more money than now.

Now Yu Lao can be worth tens of thousands of jade pendants casually, but what has been paid for this is decades of hard work, a jade carving worker who has studied for several years, in addition to working in a jade carving factory or jewelry company, opening his own workshop, and making jade, I am afraid that no one cares, this is the lack of technology and experience.

If you want to become a jade carving master like Yu Lao, you must be able to endure loneliness and be patient, and now in a society where interests are paramount, there are still many patient people.

Hearing these old and old words, Jiang Wei couldn't help but show a bitter look on his face, he saw the persistence of these old men, and he didn't think that he could possibly persuade them to work in his own jewelry company, although the environment there was better and he would make more money.

"Old Yu, I've picked it out." Chen Yi took the jade he picked out and said to Yu Lao, at the price of stick jade, this piece of jade is only five grams, one kilogram is one kilogram, according to the quality of these jades, it is only eight hundred yuan a kilogram, that one gram is eight cents, and the market price of this jade is only four yuan.

In the antique market, these few dollars of jade are sold as Hetian jade by some means, and it is this high interest that makes more and more antique actors and better acting skills.

Yu Lao smiled, took a few glances at it, and picked out a piece of jade that could not be much different from Chen Yi, maybe it was impossible to find the same large piece of jade, but a small piece of jade was not a problem.

"Hehe, Chen Xiaoyou, painting on jade is very easy and complicated, as long as you are familiar with the smoothness of jade and have a good grasp of the brush, it will not be a problem, our jade is the same shape, I will draw a leaf first, you can imitate it." As he spoke, Yu Lao picked up the brush and stroked a few strokes on the jade, and then drew an image of a leaf with edges and corners, and even textured.

As for why he used a brush to paint on the jade, Yu Lao also explained, Chen Yi smiled, this reason he had just seen Yu Lao carved Maitreya Buddha, he had already thought that the traditional Chinese ink, has a waterproof and difficult to remove effect, calligraphy and painting mounting, using some water including paste, and the painting itself does not have any damage, one is the quality of rice paper, the other is the characteristics of ink.

This time just for the experience, Chen Yi did not paint on his own, but imitated Yu Lao, and painted a leaf on the jade.

When painting on jade, the most important thing is to have a stable brush, and Chen Yi has painted hundreds of paintings, and with a pen in his hand, he is naturally as stable as Mount Tai.

"Oh, Chen Xiaoyou, that's right, the next step is rough carving, removing the unwanted jade material, so that the approximate shape of the leaf is revealed." Seeing that Chen Yi quickly learned to paint on jade, Yu Lao praised him, and then took Chen Yi to the machine.

Next, Yu Lao first introduced some tools to Chen Yi to use, and then put the jade on the machine to ponder, while pondering, he explained to Chen Yi what to pay attention to.

Chen Yi couldn't help but smile, when Yu Lao explained, sometimes he turned his head over, and he didn't look at the leaves on the machine at all, this jade carving level is simply very powerful. (To be continued......)
