Liu Yuan held a small piece of silk cloth in front of his eyes and examined it carefully.

Not bad, the silk cloth is not worn or hooked with silk, which shows that their polishing work is very good, the surface of the jewelry is very smooth, there is no sharp protrusion and prickly things, so that when worn on the body, it will not damage people's skin.

An excellent jewelry, in addition to the material is precious, the design is generous and fashionable, but also the most basic requirement of exquisite handicraft, is that the surface of the jewelry is flawless, can not cause harm to people, if you wear a piece of jewelry, carelessly, it will scratch the skin, it hurts people's love for jewelry, because of this, good jewelry, are rounded and rounded corner design, that is, it seems to be very sharp corners, in fact, after multi-layer edge treatment, like a trapezoid, is used to scratch their own skin, will not be broken.

Liu Yuan put the silk strip back on the table, relieved and relieved, the most troublesome and most grinding process has been completed, and finally can be greatly relieved, next to the silk strip, there are also scattered small frustrations, large brushes, small brushes, linen strips, white wax and other things, these are all used in polishing.

The formation of a piece of jewelry, after hammering, inlay, inverted mold, welding, cutting and other processes, and so on, when completed, the surface of the jewelry will have a lot of burrs, sharp fractures and other problems, because the roughness will not be enough flashing, then it is required to use all kinds of tools to polish the jewelry smooth, flat, smooth, do a good job of mirror treatment, so that the jewelry through refraction, look golden, dazzling and charming, put in the past, there are polishing machines, yellow cloth wheels, white cloth wheels, green wax, white wax, rollers and other machine assistance, do it with half the effort.

But now in the Tang Dynasty, those machines are all gone, all have to be handmade has been very miserable, Liu Yuan's jewelry, is extremely fine, fine enough to use a magnifying glass to assist, plus gold is not better than jade, soft, polishing to be extremely careful, otherwise it will be easy to break, these six pieces of jewelry, all have to Liu Yuan alone, the burrs are flattened, and the faces and corners are handled, and the workload can be imagined.

One sitting is one day, one is ten days and eight days, and people who are impatient really can't eat this bowl of rice.

Settled, Liu Yuan picked up a piece of jewelry and put it on the back of his hand, closed his eyes, and gently rubbed his skin, this is the most important level of inspection, those places that may come into contact with the skin, all have to be checked, the reason is very simple, because the skin on the back of the hand is very sensitive, the eyes may see wrong, but the real touch will not lie, if it feels unsmooth, it will be detected immediately, and if it is serious, it can also scratch the skin on the back of the hand and leave scars.

It took nearly half an hour to examine it in detail, and when Liu Yuan opened his eyes, he had a smile on his face.

Fortunately, my skills are still very trustworthy, and there are no problems with all six pieces of jewelry.

After a short rest, Liu Yuan immediately started working again.

The value of a piece of jewelry is limited, and if you want it to appreciate and become precious, you have to increase its added value.

An ordinary jewelry craftsman will make materials into jewelry, but a top jewelry craftsman will make materials into a beautiful piece of jewelry, and make this jewelry rise to the ranks of collectibles and works of art.

Obviously, Liu Yuan is a top jewelry craftsman.

Gently wipe off the dust on the magnifying glass with a silk cloth, take the piece as the main body, the shape of a pine and cypress jewelry, fix it tightly in the fire paint, put it under the magnifying glass, adjust the focal length, and then start a small carving knife with a head smaller than the tip of the needle and a sharp point to start the last process.

What can a carving knife with a big tip do?

The answer is only two words: miniature carving.

Chinese miniature carving has a long history. As far back as the oracle bone inscriptions of the Yin Shang period, miniature carvings appeared. The seal of the Warring States period was as small as tired, but the seal was divided into vermilion and white. As we all know, Wang Shuyuan's "Carved Boat Record" of the Ming Dynasty is also a classic work of miniature carving art in Chinese history.

Like Liu Yuan's work "Listening to the Rain Orchid" and the current production of "Pine Crane Longevity" are a large number of hollow methods, which is also part of the micro inlay, but now Liu Yuan is not to hollow out, but to engrave.

Liu Yuan and Cui Mengyao learned from the conversation that the old lady of the Cui family has believed in Buddhism for many years, and has to chant three times every morning, noon and evening, and eats fast on the fifteenth day of the new year to show her sincerity.

Are you afraid that the old lady of the Cui family will not be tempted?

Those masters of the later generations of micro-inlay, can carve a diamond sutra with 8208 words on a grain of rice, it can be said that it is miraculous, Liu Yuan now does not have a microscope, nor does he have that kind of special carving knife, but with this magnifying glass, which is estimated to be the best in the Tang Dynasty, the current version is only 5180 words of the Diamond Sutra engraved on a hairpin the size of a little finger, which is more than enough. (Kumarosh's translation of the Vajra Prajnaparamita Sutra is 5,180 words, and Tang Xuanzang's translation after taking the scriptures has 8,208 words, which is an important supplement)

Liu Yuan held his breath and concentrated, first practiced on an ordinary piece of jewelry on the side, practiced for a while, and waited until he entered the state, and then carefully began to carve......

The little lady sat outside the door as usual, embroidering and looking at the closed door from time to time.

The senior brother is building jewelry in it, as the "Songhe Longevity" is getting closer and closer to the finished product, the bold idea, exquisite handiwork, let the little lady breathtaking, although she was born in a golden and jade family, usually with these jewelry as companions, the understanding of jewelry is also very high, but she feels that she is becoming more and more impenetrable Liu Yuan.

If Liu Yuan made jewelry, then what his father used to make was simply a child's thing.

The gap is too big, this senior brother, how powerful is he, is there a limit? However, the more capable men are, the more they like girls, and the current little lady is simply Liu Yuan is idol.

"Xiaoqing~"

"Miss~" Hearing Xiao Niang call herself, Xiao Qing, who was waiting on the side, hurriedly whispered.

The little lady carefully instructed: "You go to the kitchen to watch the fire, look at the cup of bird's nest stewed snow clam soup, Ayi is rough and rough, I'm afraid he doesn't look good at the fire, senior brother in order to rush to work, the face has lost weight recently, you have to make up for it." ”

"Miss, you are so good to the young master." Xiaoqing couldn't help but praise it.

"Of course, I'm not good to him, who else is good, well, don't talk to you little girl, hurry up, watch the fire"

Xiaoqing smiled and said, "Yes, miss." Then he went to the kitchen.

After Xiaoqing left, Xiao Niang glanced at the closed door again, smiled, as if she saw Liu Yuan concentrating on making jewelry, and then picked up the needle and thread to make clothes, this is a boy's robe, Xiao Niang saw that Liu Yuan's clothes were a little old, and was about to make him a new dress, although it didn't cost much to buy one, but Xiao Niang still liked Liu Yuan to wear clothes sewn by her novices.

"Ha~~"

"Hahaha~~"

I don't know how long it took, in the studio exclusive to Liu Yuan, Liu Yuan's crazy laughter sounded.

"Senior brother, senior brother, what's wrong with you?" Hearing that there was something abnormal, the little lady was startled, threw the needle and thread in her hand, and hurriedly pushed the door over.

Liu Yuan slapped the table suddenly, made a "Peng" sound, and said excitedly: "It's done, it's finally done, it's not easy." ”

For three months, Liu Yuan did it for three months, just for such a piece of jewelry, and now it is finally completed, can you not be excited, it is even more exciting for students to be excited at the moment when they hear the announcement of the holiday, if it weren't for the fear that the little lady would misunderstand, Liu Yuan would have wanted to smash out what he saw.

Of course, the "pine crane prolonging the year" is reluctant to smash.

Xiao Niang found that Liu Yuan's other hand, holding a piece of exquisite jewelry, a lifelike pine and cypress branch, there are a few white cranes dancing, a good piece of harmony, singing and dancing scene, the whole jewelry in the window through the sunlight, dazzling, shining, as if the eyes of the people are dazzling, especially the eyes of the white crane, crystal clear, as if there is spirituality.

At this time, a fresh breeze blew in from the open door, and the wind suddenly blew several white cranes in the pendant to move, and the white cranes made of gold and jade actually made several very pleasant sounds while "flying", and several different sounds converged, as if they had become a joyful song......

Xiao Niang's eyes widened.

PS: I got a chat group, welcome everyone to join and brag with the artillery, there are beautiful women, hehe~~
