Craft, divided into "work" and "art", the so-called work on the hand, workmanship, art is art, although handicrafts and goods are commodities, but the biggest difference between handicrafts and goods is that the goods can only meet the needs of daily life, and handicrafts in addition to meeting the needs of daily life, plus appreciation and collection functions, can meet the needs of people in the spirit.

It's very simple, an ordinary piece of paper is very low in value, but once a master splashes ink on it, it will immediately be worth a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand times, but people still flock to it, which is the charm of the art of art.

What Yu Jin wants to do is to transform ordinary commodities into handicrafts.

The materials were ready, Yu Jin was not in a hurry to act immediately, but first washed his hands, wiped them dry, and then closed his eyes, put aside the distractions in his heart, and let his heart slowly calm down.

Half a ring, when Yu Jin opened his eyes again, the temperament of the whole person became different, from the frivolity and chaos just now to quiet, focused and confident, and the calm Yu Jin changed from a frivolous little show to a confident, skilled craftsman.

"Huh" Yu Jin exhaled lightly, his eyes swept over the neatly arranged tools on the table, and finally his eyes fell on the delicate claw hammer, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he copied it, and the claw hammer that had been transformed by himself was in his hand, and he took a refined silver bar, and then smashed it on the silver bar.

Silver is a precious metal, and like gold, it has a soft texture, and the higher the purity, the softer the texture of silver.

In film and television dramas, many people put it in their mouths and bite it as soon as they get it, not because of the taste of silver, but because of the soft nature of silver, it can leave tooth marks when you bite it, which is the easiest way to identify authenticity.

Because of their malleability, gold and silver are widely used in jewelry and art.

Yu Jin held a silver bar in one hand and a hammer in the other, constantly beating, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, sometimes light and sometimes heavy, and from time to time he also took a hammer to correct it, and the silver bar was like magic in Yu Jin's hands constantly deformed and shaped.

About two quarters of an hour later, Yu Jin put down the hammer, and when he looked at the silver bar again, it seemed to be magical, and it was shaped like an ear of wheat, although it was still a little rough, but it was already formed.

The ears of wheat were curved and shaped like a goose egg.

Yu Jin picked up a goose-egg-shaped mirror and put it in the middle of the silver bar in the shape of a wheat ear, and quickly frowned, the size was a little smaller, and it had to be modified.

I haven't done it for so long, and that hand is raw, Yu Jin laughed at himself a little, thinking that back then, he claimed to be Yu Yiyi, and his eyes seemed to have a ruler, and many things were as long as he glanced at them, and the size was guessed to be ** not far from ten, and now the experience is still there, but the craftsmanship is rusty.

is an inch and a half smaller, and in the next life, it is estimated that the beautiful apprentice who just came out of college will have to laugh at herself, and it will not be so easy to agree to ask her to roll the sheets.

This is not an exaggeration, skills are related to a person's work and concentration, for example, there is a meat seller, you want a pound and two taels, he cuts a knife more than half a dollar and not less than half a gram, everything is accurate, there are people who sell cloth, just with their hands, not even a ruler, as much as you want, you can cut as much, the score is not bad.

Let's get back to feeling like that.

Yu Jin waved his hand again and hammered it for a while, matching the dimensions, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Without resting, he immediately picked up another silver bar and struck it vigorously with the claw hammer, and under the smashing of the claw sledge, soon the silver bar became the shape of a flower

It's a bit troublesome to do it on one side, but Yu Jin decided to do it one by one, so that it is fast and efficient, and you can also exercise it to let yourself slowly find your feel.

It is impossible to make all of it with gold and silver, the cost is too great, and Yu Jin does not have so much money now, and the current practice is to use mahogany to make a shelf, dress it with gold and silver, and then use some turquoise, red turquoise, crushed jade, garnet, etc. to inlay it to improve its grade.

The most pity is that there is no laser cutting process in later generations, and those gemstones can not reflect its charm and value to the greatest extent.

"Knock Knock Knock"

"Zizizi"

"Rustle rustle"

Yu Jin started working in the house alone, beating, grinding and polishing, and sometimes sawing wood, all the processes were picked up on one shoulder, which seemed busy and fulfilling.

Fortunately, Yu Lin trusted Yu Jin very much, and never asked about Yu Jin's studies, Deng Yong did not send anyone to supervise, nor did he need to go to county school, and he was not interested in those poetry meetings and banquets, Yu Jin's whole mind was on building.

Once a person is invested in something, his attention is highly concentrated, not only is the efficiency fast, but the time also flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it is late October.

On October 23, Yu Jin finally put the last jade stone into the wooden handle of the mirror.

This is a mirror about the size of a palm, with a shelf made of rosewood, lined with silver, decorated with jade, and carefully carved on it a picture of flowers blooming and rich, which looks fashionable and generous, because it is mainly made of wood as a shelf and handle, the quality is very light, and it is not difficult for a woman to pick it up.

It is very suitable for portable use.

This small mirror, Yu Jin plans to give it to the little doctor fairy Wu Xuan, this beautiful woman with a bit of personality is very different from those women who are raised in the deep boudoir and have been polished by the environment into three subordinates and four virtues.

It's very in line with Yu Jin's aesthetics, and besides, it was fortunate that she warned her last time, and Yu Jin was ready to give her a copy as soon as he got the mirror.

Holding this mirror and thinking about it, Yu Jin smiled slightly, picked up the brush, and wrote on the back of the mirror:

If life is only as first seen, what is the autumn wind and sad fan.

Waiting for idle changes but old people's hearts, but old people's hearts are changeable.

Lishan said that it was half a night away, and the tears and rain did not complain.

How is Bo Xing Jinyilang, who wishes on the same day.

Compared with the only four sentences in the Drunken Immortal Building, Yu Jin completed the whole poem of Nalan Xingde this time, so doesn't Wu Xuan like poetry, then let her taste it.

Of course, there is also a deliberate display here.

Looking at the thirty-three beautifully shaped and exquisite mirrors neatly placed on the table, Yu Jin smiled proudly.

This is the result of more than a month of my own work, I was busy for a month, and I made a mirror on average a day, if I put it in my previous life, I would have done it in half a month at most, and the quality was absolutely not bad, but this was the Ming Dynasty, without modern tools, and there was no way to slow efficiency.

After admiring it, Yu Jin packed it in a cloth bag, carefully packed up the tools, locked the door, and left with the fruits of his labor.

I guess I won't be here for some days.

This mirror is done, how to sell it is also a problem, Yu Jin calculated: put it on the street will definitely not sell at a high price, it is best to make a name for yourself first, and then put it in those famous stores to sell, so as to get the best economic benefits.

How did you make a name for yourself and become an instant hit?

Yu Jin thought as he walked home.

Now is the time to make lunch, when Yu Jin went back, the old lady and the little sister were cooking in the kitchen, and they didn't notice that Yu Jin was carrying a big bag of things, so they didn't need to explain.

"I'm back, wash your hands, and you're ready to eat." Yu Lin heard Yu Jin's voice coming back in the kitchen, and ordered with a smile.

A few days ago, Yu Jin went out early and returned late, after breakfast, he went out with the love lunch made by Yu Lin, and came back to eat in the evening, so that he could work in the workshop converted from the house in the suburbs all day long, Yu Lin had not had lunch with his son for almost a month, and when he saw his son come back, he immediately smiled.

In a good mood, I beat several more eggs, and not long after, there was another plate of fragrant scrambled eggs on the table.

"Come in, eat, eat more." Yu Lin took a large piece of egg and put it in Yu Jin's bowl.

Yu Yu didn't raise his little mouth this time, because Yu Lin treated everyone equally, and he also carried a large piece of egg in Yu Yu's bowl.

"Thank you, mother."

"Thank you, mother." Yu Jin and Yu Yu said as they coerced a piece of meat and put it in Yu Lin's bowl at the same time.

Seeing that his children were so sensible, Yu Lin said happily: "Good, let's eat." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden "ouch", and Yu Lin suddenly covered his waist with his hands, frowned, and his complexion changed.

"It's not good, my mother's back pain is done again." Yu Yu said anxiously.

"No, it's okay, just a while." Yu Lin's words were a little unfavorable.

This time is different from normal days, usually the pain is relieved, but this time the waist seems to be broken, and the pain makes Yu Lin's forehead cold sweat, obviously the pain is not light.

also said that it was okay, it hurt so much that he couldn't sit still, Yu Jin didn't dare to slack off, put the chopsticks down, and said to Yu Yu: "Little sister, you take a good look at your mother, I'll ask Dr. Wu to come and show my mother." ”

"Well, brother, you go and come back quickly."

Yu Jin nodded and ran out with a smoke.
