Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The jade carving is also divided into two sessions, one is to carve jade pendants or jade plaques, and the second is to carve small ornaments.
There are no restrictions on the subject matter of these two carving competitions, so to speak, the contestants are allowed to swing freely.
Of course, you can be lazy when carving some simple objects, but this can only be regarded as a complete competition, as for the final result, it is natural to judge according to the overall workmanship and value of the jade.
The next day, everyone gathered in front of the jade factory again, and after that, they were taken by the staff to a workshop in the jade factory.
When entering this jade carving workshop, some people from the small jade factory couldn't help but show amazement on their faces.
I saw that in this area, which covers an area of about 500 square meters, there are more than 30 jade carving machines neatly placed, and they all look brand new.
The same is true for Chen Yi, when he studied jade carving in Lingzhou, the ancient workshop where they carried out the work was only 100 square meters at most, and only a few machines were placed in it, and these more than 30 machines were placed here, which made people marvel at the scale of the Tianjing Jade Factory.
Of course, there are some apprentices from big jade factories who are not surprised at all, but some famous jade factories and dozens of jade carving machines are like playing at all.
On these jade carving machines, there are also the names and numbers of the contestants, after all, in the process of the competition, there are people of the same genre sitting together to help carve something, it is a very easy thing to carve, in order to put an end to the birth of these things, and yesterday's jade identification is generally the same, each contestant before and after. None of the same faction will show up.
The crowd was not immediately assigned to the jade carving machine. Instead, they gathered in the open space next to them. In front of them, there is a large box, and in the box, there is a world of jade, which is the same as yesterday's jade, all kinds of colors and colors, all kinds of materials, but. It seems that most of it is medium jade, and there is no stick jade that appeared in the morning, and there is fake jade and so on.
At this time, President Yao of the Jade Association used a microphone to explain loudly the rules of this jade carving competition.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this jade carving is divided into two competitions, the first is no limit to the carving of small jade ornaments, jade pendants, jade plates, and jade pendants, and the second is to carve small ornaments. There is also no limit to the subject matter. ”
"Although there is no limit to the types of subject matter, in order to prevent the previous contestants from selecting all the jade stones with good shapes. Therefore, in the first carving competition, each person will randomly get three pieces of jade, these three pieces of jade, will not let you carve all of them, you will choose one of these three pieces of jade, as the jade you carved in this competition, so, you have no chance of failing, once you fail, it means that the score of this game is zero. ”
"I hope you can pay attention to the piece of jade you have selected, and evaluate in your heart whether you can carve well, whether you have thought about what to carve, once the jade is carved, it will be covered with water and difficult to collect, every jade carver should be clear about this, okay, now please read the name of the contestant to come forward from the three random pieces of jade, choose the one you want to carve, please remember, the number in front of your name, is the location of your jade carving machine, No. 1, Zhou Xiulong, please come forward to choose the jade."
Hearing his name, Zhou Xiulong, who was standing next to Zheng Lilin, was stunned for a moment, and after being pushed by Zheng Lilin, he showed a depressed look on his face, the No. 1 jade carving machine, don't think about it, is also the first row closest to the judges' table, I'm afraid that his every move will be seen by the judges above.
Zheng Lilin sneered, after what happened yesterday, Xiulong is already the focus of the judges this week, and it is impossible to get the ranking in this competition through some small means.
It's just that Zhou Xiulong is afraid, but he Zheng Lilin is not afraid, isn't it jade carving, at this time he looked at Chen Yi, and made sure that the person who has studied jade carving for less than half a year knows that their Suzhou jade carving is amazing, no matter how powerful the basic skills are, how can they carve good jade without a long period of exercise, half a year, learning theoretical knowledge is not enough, let alone practicing every day.
Sensing Zheng Lilin's gaze, Chen Yi turned his head and showed a thick smile at him.
Zheng Lilin snorted coldly, turned his head, and watched Zhou Xiulong select jade materials, but the three pieces of jade placed in front of Zhou Xiulong at this time had three types, namely Hetian jade, jade and a piece of Xiuyu.
Xiuyu is also one of the four famous jade in China, there are old jade, new jade, the color of the old jade is yellow and white, and another type of new jade is Xiuyan jasper, mostly green to lake green.
The Xiuyu in Zhou Xiulong's three pieces is Xiuyan jasper, and its green color is a gray-green color like a lake.
As for Hetian jade and jadeite, needless to say, they are both medium jade materials, and the structural hardness of these three types of jade is not the same, so it can be said that their carving techniques will not be the same.
At this time, everyone was envious of Zhou Xiulong's luck and sighed for him, envious that he could choose according to the jade he was best at, but on the other hand, he could not choose a piece of jade suitable for him to swing.
Just like painting, some people paint very exquisite paintings of flowers and birds, and some people can't paint figure paintings, jade carving, there are also this kind of things.
Zhou Xiulong glanced at the three pieces of jade, and without much consideration, he directly chose a pale yellow Hetian jade, Chen Yi looked at it, and couldn't help but smile, naturally knowing Zhou Xiulong's thoughts, Zhou Xiulong's primary jade carving skill level is only the entry level, so naturally he has to choose the easiest Hetian jade.
Among the three jade materials, jadeite has the highest hardness, followed by Hetian jade, and Xiuyu has the lowest hardness, as for why Zhou Xiulong did not choose Xiuyu, which has the hardest hardness, it is naturally very simple, Xiuyu has different shades of color, and its texture is very different from Hetian jade, because its material is softer, and even glass can be scratched, so it is not easy to carve at all.
Moreover, Xiuyu's strength is not as strong as Hetian Yuqiang, and if you want Xiuyu to stand out among the many jade pendants, there is no doubt that the level of craftsmanship required will be very high, which is exactly what Zhou Xiulong does not have.
Seeing the jade material selected by Xiulong this week, some judges couldn't help but nodded, a jade carver must first have self-knowledge and know what kind of jade material he can carve at his level, rather than blindly choosing only the good ones and the expensive ones.
Among these three pieces of jade, jadeite is naturally the most valuable, but it is best carved with Hetian jade.
Next, nearly 30 contestants selected the jade material one by one, and Chen Yi did not look carefully, but set his eyes on a young man, this young man, he only met in the identification of jade carving techniques yesterday afternoon.
The jade carving skills he has are also very deep and firm, and the five pieces of jade, after only looking at them for a short time, have completely said their jade carving techniques, which can be said to be the best person except for Chen Yi himself.
This young man is an apprentice of the Tianjing Jade Factory, and this year, he has been studying in the Jade Factory for almost three years, Chen Yi used the identification technique on his body at that time, although the skills he has are the primary jade carving proficiency level, but from the self-confidence of this young man, he can know that the jade carving skills he has are already at the top level in proficiency, infinitely close to the primary jade carving proficiency level.
Among these people who came to participate in the competition, there are very few who can have a primary jade carving proficiency level, it can be said that it is rare, only three years of study, to be able to reach the entry, it is not easy, generally speaking, I am afraid that only after three years, it is possible to reach proficiency.
People like Zheng Xiulong, in the entry level, also belong to the middle and lower class of Cunzài, this young man is very indifferent to people, Chen Yi heard others say that this is the personal disciple of a jade carving master in Tianjing Jade Factory, and the skills of that jade carving master are even higher than Wang Lao and others.
Three years, if uninterrupted guidance, and let his daily practice, plus some talents, be able to reach the current point, it is also possible, and this person's name is called Shi Yu, which can be said to be very appropriate to jade carving.
When Shi Yu wanted to choose jade, Chen Yi stood beside him, watching him pick a piece of Hetian jade from the three pieces of jade, and on top of this Hetian jade, there were also some stone skins, it seemed that he was going to determine the subject carving according to the stone skins.
Chen Yi smiled, in terms of the level of this stone jade, if he often waved, he could be equal to him, in this way, he must not have the slightest slackness, in the jade carving competition, if it is all like Zhou Xiulong, he also feels very boring, there is such an opponent, it is more interesting.
Just as Chen Yi looked at this stone jade and selected jade, the system's prompt sounded in his mind again, "Task cloth: As the inheritor of Lingzhou jade carving, you must show the level of Lingzhou jade carving in this competition." ”
"Requirements: In the jade carving competition, get the top three and carve a slightly higher value jade."
"Task reward: 6 Zigang Kunwu Knife Hidden Map Fragments, 3 identification points, 3 body count points, and 3 energy points."
Hearing this mission, Chen Yi was not too surprised, after all, the system suddenly issued too many tasks, but when he saw the task reward this time, he was full of surprise, the hidden map fragments of the 6 Gangkun Wu Knife.
This should be the map that Tong Guò got, and you can find the Kunwu knife that was missing after the death of 6 Zigang, but now it's just a fragment, it should only be a fraction or a dozen of the map, and Tong Guò keeps completing tasks and getting rewards, so that he can put together a map to find the specific whereabouts of Kunwu Knife.
