"I don't want such a precious thing! Having said that, is this root carving you made really so valuable? ”

Yang Xiaoxiao obviously thought Ruan Fanghua was bragging.

Although Ruan Fanghua's credit value in the past was still quite high, can such a handmade handicraft really be sold at such a high price? It's really poverty that limits her imagination! However, she thinks that her family is really not poor.

Ruan Fanghua was wearing gloves at the moment, and was practicing Wing Chun at the wooden stake in the corner, and he didn't turn his head back, and while punching quickly, he replied: "Hehe! The wool itself is already very precious, as long as you meet someone who knows the goods, the price is naturally not a problem, and people don't care too much about the price at all! However, it is also a coincidence that this work can be associated with this big customer, and her old man likes it! ”

Yang Xiaoxiao has obviously been accustomed to Ruan Fanghua's daily boxing practice behavior for a long time, and she does not feel strange.

She didn't know what she thought, her eyes suddenly lit up, she walked to the wooden stake, and watched Ruan Fanghua boxing, her voice became delicate, "Fanghua, I really can't learn this stake boxing job, I'm afraid of hurting my hands." But I can learn to carve roots! It's so profitable to make this root carving, you can teach me too! I also want to be self-reliant and lighten the burden on my family! Daughters should be self-reliant! I have learned to draw, I have a foundation, I can stick to it! ”

Ruan Fanghua continued to punch on the stake, "Of course you can!" However, you need to be mentally prepared! Don't cry when the time comes! ”

Yang Xiaoxiao hurriedly nodded, "I'm not afraid of hardship, I can persevere!" ”

Ruan Fanghua didn't speak, punched for a while, then stopped, took off the gloves, and moved his wrists and fingers again.

She came to the root carving of "Blue Wolf" and pointed to the wolf's head with her finger, "The detailed portrayal here requires a little arm strength, if it can't be done in one go, it will affect its charm." So, you should do push-ups often! Also, spend your own money to buy, good cypress wool is very expensive, to have a certain capital, many people spend a lot of money, may not be able to buy really good materials. ”

She turned her head, her expression was fixed, she looked at Yang Xiaoxiao, and her tone was flat, "The problem of raw materials is not difficult to solve, and you don't necessarily have to use Yabai." The craftsmanship is not refined, it is not recommended to use expensive good materials, you can use ordinary materials to practice your hands first, and buy some cheap root materials...... The roots in my hands basically didn't cost any money, they were all collected by myself, mountains, forests, cliffs, riversides...... Even the firewood in the farmer's house is a raw material with a certain natural shape, and if you can endure hardship, you can also find it yourself. However, after the root material is recovered, it is really difficult to peel and clean up the stain, and it is not a big problem to teach you with me......

Yang Xiaoxiao saw that what Ruan Fanghua said made sense, nodded again and again, stretched out her hand and gently touched the wolf's head, and was even more excited about learning to make root carvings.

However, Ruan Fanghua immediately poured a basin of cold water on her.

"But the key is that without ten or eight years of diligent practice, it is not easy to create good works, and if you don't make a name for yourself, it's an ordinary handicraft! It doesn't sell for a good price. The salary you originally talked about depends on whose work it is. ”

"Huh? Ten years, eight years...... Still want to make a name for yourself? ”

"Yes! I started practicing root carving when I was four years old, and this year I have been sixteen years! I wasn't famous before, and I couldn't sell things. Sometimes, the material fee for the sold things has to be pasted upside down, and the wages are free. In the last five years, this has not been the case again......"

Yang Xiaoxiao looked at Ruan Fanghua incredulously. Four-year-old? Still in kindergarten, right? At that time, she didn't know anything but eat, drink and have fun? I think I started to learn how to draw, but I only started learning piano when I was in elementary school......

Ruan Fanghua saw that Yang Xiaoxiao was thinking silently, and she didn't disturb her. When I went to the bathroom to wash my hands and face, I saw that Yang Xiaoxiao was still staring at the root carving of "Blue Wolf" in a daze, and I didn't care about her, put on a mask, and lay comfortably on the bed.

After a few more minutes, Yang Xiaoxiao finally came back to her senses, looking a little sad, "Fanghua, it seems that at my age, I am really not suitable for this!" It's impossible to make money, it's okay as a pastime! If I can't make much money, I don't want to do this! Let me ask you, how did you make a name for yourself? ”

Ruan Fanghua closed her eyes and lay on the bed without moving, "Age is not a problem, you are still very young, it's just that the income is not so fast, and the profit will not be very high." If you stick to it for a long time, just like playing the piano, you will gain a lot! If you are really determined, I suggest that you should collect the root material yourself, and finding the root material with strange materials and shapes is the most important step to increase the price of root carving...... As for how I became famous, if I want to talk about it, it's really a long story......"
