Chu Chen's words amused Wu Ke, but Gu Jianming thought so, otherwise why would Chu Chen have only been learning jade carving for a few days, and he could already carve such extraordinary utensils? What's more, there is also the factor of luck.

Thinking of this, Gu Jianming couldn't help but sigh secretly, people are really angry compared to people, he, a master who has studied for more than ten years, can't compare to a newcomer who has only studied for a few days, and he feels very depressed when he thinks about it. Fortunately, he also knew that people like Chu Chen could be said to be rare, otherwise he would have fallen into self-doubt.

Chu Chen handed over one of the pendants carved with a phoenix to Wu Ke, and said with a smile: "Let's have one piece each." ”

"Hmm!"

Wu Ke responded happily, and then couldn't put it down and admired it, you must know that this was carved by Chu Chen himself for the two of them, and it was the first master-level jade carved out, which had a very special meaning for her.

Gu Jianming looked very hot, you must know that the material used for this pair of pendants is the old pit glass bright green, and a jade carving master carved the old pit glass pendant, its collection value and economic value needless to say, if put on the market, not to mention how sought-after.

He didn't expect to get a glass pendant like this, as long as it was an ice seed, he was already satisfied.

"Boss, when you have time in the future, can you help me carve a jade ornament for me to collect?" Gu Jianming said with some embarrassment.

"Yes!" Chu Chen smiled slightly, indicating that there was no problem, and then said, "But I don't know." When will I become a real master of jade carving! ”

"It's okay, it's okay!" Gu Jianming waved his hand again and again: "For me." Your knife skills are already at the master level, and I am already very satisfied with the jade carving. ”

"It's better to choose a day than to hit the day. I'm free right now, so I'll carve one for you now! ”

Chu Chen said: "And I think I still have some things that I have done very well, and now I can just let you guide me, what do you think?" ”

Of course, Gu Jianming would not have any opinions on this, and hurriedly agreed.

Next, Chu Chen selected a piece of jadeite on Gu Jianming's workbench that was more suitable for a pendant, this piece of jadeite was a material of high ice and yang green, and the jade color was quite uniform. The quality is still very good.

After carefully examining the jade material, Chu Chen said, "I will carve a statue of Guanyin for this piece of material, what do you think?" ”

This piece of material, Gu Jianming was originally going to be used to carve a statue of Guanyin, so he would not have any opinions.

"Master Gu, I can only borrow your knives to use today, and my set is still at home."

The pair of dragon and phoenix pendants Chu Chen had carved in the Yuhua Pavilion the day before yesterday, and he didn't expect to carve jade today, so he didn't bring the knives. And it just so happened that he could also try out what it was like to use a different knife.

The knives used by Chu Chen and the two jade carving masters were all made of imported alloys, but when Chu Chen bought them, there were only two sets of knives of the same kind of material. So Chu Chen chose another set, although the characteristics of the knives are similar, but there are still some slight differences.

"Okay. You can use it! ”

After Gu Jianming agreed, Chu Chen carefully checked the jade first. Then he picked up the carving knife.

Just when Gu Jianming wondered why Chu Chen didn't observe the material, he began to carve. saw that Chu Chen had selected a piece of leftovers on the workbench and carved a few knives, and at this time he realized that Chu Chen had just tried the knife first.

After Chu Chen was familiar with the knife, he picked up the jade material and observed it carefully, of course, this is just what it looks like on the surface, secretly, he has used the Spirit Treasure Eye to see this piece of high ice jadeite through a transparent way, and the material and details of the jade have been deeply remembered by him.

After a few minutes like this, Chu Chen officially began to slash, but in order to avoid arousing Gu Jianming's suspicion, he had already decided in advance to show some places to be more naïve, but even so, it had already surprised Gu Jianming.

In Gu Jianming's eyes, although Chu Chen's carving technique seems to be a little rusty, it is often done in one go, even if some places are not handled properly, but it does not stop because of this, and it is very coherent to the end. This also made Chu Chen's cousin look quite confident.

This surprised Gu Jianming, but also felt in his heart that it was probably because Chu Chen had this self-confidence that was different from ordinary people, coupled with his very strong talent, that he was able to have such incredible results in just a few days.

On the other hand, Gu Jianming also found that Chu Chen also had his own unique views on the priority of knife work, forming a relatively unique knife work, and the place that has been treated by this kind of knife work looks more natural.

Seeing this, Gu Jianming could only shake his head with a wry smile, because this kind of knife work is completely integrated into Chu Chen's own concept, even if he wants to learn, he can't learn it, but although he can't learn it, but the stone of his mountain can attack jade, if he can often figure out Chu Chen's knife work, it will also be very helpful for the improvement of his carving skills, maybe he can break through the barrier that has plagued him for a long time.

Chu Chen was concentrating on carving the statue of Guanyin, but now that there were outsiders present, he couldn't be as unsuspecting as he was in his own home, so in addition to being slower than at home, he sometimes had to be distracted to see Gu Jianming's reaction, if Gu Jianming had anything unusual, then he could only hide it again.

Fortunately, Gu Jianming looks quite normal, otherwise, the quality of this Guanyin pendant would be difficult to say.

Time passed little by little, and the carving knife in Chu Chen's hand was also replaced one after another, when he replaced the last carving knife to complete the fine work, he picked up the rag on the table and wiped the carved Guanyin pendant carefully, and then put it in front of Gu Jianming, and said with a smile: "Master Gu, what do you think?" ”

"Good! Very good! ”

As he spoke, Gu Jianming took the Guanyin pendant in his hand and admired it carefully, and his mouth still let out a "tsk" exclamation from time to time.

In the end, he sincerely admired: "Boss, your craftsmanship is simply progressing rapidly, let's just say that this Guanyin pendant, the table is really good, the shape is dignified, smiling, peaceful, the whole body is evenly proportioned, the hands and feet are realistic and delicate, the momentum is good, and the carving is really exquisite!" ”

"Master Gu, you are too awarded." Chu Chen waved his hand and said: "I think this face is still a little unnatural, and the action is still a little stiff, if these two aspects can be corrected again, it should be better, and I think it is better to change the treatment method in these places." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to a few places that he thought needed to be corrected.

Although Gu Jianming agreed with Chu Chen's opinion, he felt that the flaws could not be concealed, and these deficiencies could not hide the advantages of this jade jade, so to speak, in addition to these places, this Guanyin pendant already had a master-level level, how could this not make him feel amazed?

"By the way, boss, how much does this pendant cost?"

Chu Chen shook his head and said, "I said Master Gu, it's boring for you to raise money, no matter what, I can still afford to give a high-ice pendant!" ”

"This ...... What's so embarrassing about that? Gu Jianming said very embarrassed.

Chu Chen smiled slightly and said: "What's so embarrassing about this, you should also know that my eyesight is okay, and the cost of a high-ice jade like this is not much, so you can accept it with peace of mind." ”

Gu Jianming thought for a while and said, "Okay, then I'm welcome!" ”

"That's right!" Chu Chen smiled: "But I'm not good at polishing, so you can only trouble yourself." ”

"No problem at all!" Gu Jianming said with a smile: "If you have time, why don't I tell you how to polish it now?" ”

Chu Chen looked at the time and found that it was still early, so he looked at Wu Ke.

Wu Ke smiled reasonably: "I'm fine, you can listen to Master Gu teach you a lesson with peace of mind!" ”

Chu Chen smiled, and then the two followed Gu Jianming to the polishing machine.

"If we usually polish, there are generally two ways, such as bracelets, rings, and other bare jade mostly polished by hand. And for Guanyin, Maitreya Buddha all kinds of flowers, then dip machine polishing. Dipping machine polishing takes a long time, about a week or so to complete, but a large number of polishes can be polished at a time. ”

Gu Jianming introduced the two of them: "But this is the general situation, we make medium and high-grade jadeite, so we generally don't need to dip in the machine for polishing." Because of the time, I'll show you the polishing of the ring face first. ”

After speaking, Gu Jianming picked up a jade ring prepared in advance, and then introduced it to the two while polishing it.

"First of all, I want to coat the surface of this carved ring with a layer of polishing powder, this polishing powder, the green one is chromium oxide, and the orange-red one is cerium oxide.

After applying the polishing powder, Gu Jianming continued: "Next, I will polish the surface of the ring surface, this step must be careful, it is better to be lighter than too heavy, otherwise it will grind off a little more jade, and it is likely to damage the utensils." ”

After speaking, Gu Jianming began to polish the ring face with a tool, and then repeated the steps just now. After completion, he polished the ring surface with a stiff brush, and then after fine polishing, fine washing, waxing and finally drying the ring surface, the whole polishing step was completely completed.

Gu Jianming washed his hands, and then said: "The polishing of the ring face should be regarded as the easiest, if it is a jade such as Guanyin and Buddha statues, then before polishing, it is necessary to deal with the small places that the big tools can't throw, so that the next step can be carried out."
