Volume 1 Yamano-Arashi Chapter 27 That year I was carving time
Although the prosperity in Fengyun City is not as good as that of Sifang City, it is also ranked among the best in the Eastern Xuan Domain.
Because of its proximity to the Tianshan Mountains, there is no shortage of jade, medicinal herbs, and various metals, coupled with decades of good weather and no war, merchants who come and go are willing to come here to do business.
There are some items that you can't find in the Sifang City, and you can also buy them here.
This small town will not wake up too soon, because the dust of last night has not yet dissipated, and the night market in the city is bustling, with thousands of lights shining on the blue clouds, and those tourists who are looking for fun come in an endless stream.
The refraction of the morning sun shines only on the water delivery people who get up early and the small breakfast stalls on the streets.
The owners and guys here never go out to shout, because if they want to eat, they will come naturally, and they know who their guests are.
The proprietress has practiced the magical skills of never forgetting, as long as the guests who have come once can clearly remember, the next time they come again, a voice of greeting, and the sense of intimacy will naturally be there.
When the sun rises, the teahouses, inns, cloth villages, money villages, Jinbao Pavilion and other shops in the city will open their doors to greet customers.
Li Ye walked on this lazy street, and couldn't help but whisper:
The warm wind smokes the tourists drunk,
Treat Hangzhou as Bianzhou.
Ah Gui, who was following behind, was confused, and took two steps forward and asked, "Young master, where is this Hangzhou, and which domain is Bianzhou?"
Li Ye glanced at Agui and said, "If you have nothing to do, go read more." ”
After taking two steps, after thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate, and turned back to him and said, "This is a fiction in the poem, you naturally don't know." ”
Ah Gui suddenly realized that the heart is still a young master who has talent to learn.
The two of them started from the shops on South Street, and visited a few shops for gold and silver jewelry, cloth shops selling silk, and even shops selling rouge and gouache, but they didn't see their favorite objects.
Turning the corner, I walked to East Street, the shops here looked much more atmospheric than the shops on South Street, and the selling prices were much more expensive, Li Ye and Ah Gui were not in a hurry, and walked over one by one.
Some of the cloth houses here simply put all the goods in front of the door, and at a glance, every household was full of silk and satin, competing for luxury, and some men stood at the door and shouted: "Come and see, new goods from the imperial city." ”
Li Ye couldn't help but shake his head when he looked at the scene in front of him, his heart was really lively.
After strolling around for a while, the two walked to the outside of the shop in Jinbao Pavilion, and the guys inside knew Agui, so they came out to say hello.
Li Ye was the first to come back here, and when he entered the hall, he saw all kinds of ornaments on the counter of Jinsi Nanmu. Hairpin, hairpin, hairpin, hairpin, step shake, jade, wrench, earrings, pearl agate, all kinds of jewelry.
There are also some calligraphy and paintings of celebrities hanging on the walls, and various jade carvings are placed in the standing cabinets.
After watching it for a long time, I felt that there was nothing new, so I turned around and wanted to leave.
At this time, the shopkeeper in the store stopped Li Ye and asked, "Childe, don't you look down on the objects in my shop?"
"It's not that your goods are bad, it's just that you haven't found what I like. Li Ye apologized to the shopkeeper's fist.
When the shopkeeper heard this, he touched his chin and thought about it, turned around, took out a wooden box from a locked cabinet, and said, "Childe, look at this, whether you are satisfied." ”
Li Ye took it carefully, put it on the counter, and then opened the lid of the wooden box. I saw a pair of slap white jade carved Ruyi inside, and I saw that the whole body was warm and moist, without variegation, like mutton fat.
The eye-catching thing is that there is a small piece of emerald green in the middle, one on the left, one on the right, which is carved from the middle with a piece of jade, the emerald green carved on the left is a lotus flower, and the emerald green carved on the right is a phoenix eye.
The shopkeeper saw that Li Ye didn't speak, and thought that there was a play.
Said with a smile: "This is the master of the store only completed yesterday jade Ruyi, it is expected to be from our Tianshan Mountain to pick up the jade, like this color is not encountered for many years, it is considered a fine product, if the son likes to buy it, collect it yourself or give it away, it is an excellent choice." ”
Li Ye didn't reply, just picked up a piece, put it in the palm of his hand, and watched it carefully, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and said in his heart that it would be good if these two pieces were given to those two young ladies.
"Shopkeeper, how many gold coins do you need to buy these two pieces?" Li Ye glanced at the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper was overjoyed when he heard this, and stepped forward and said, "Two pieces have a total of ten gold coins, if you like it, you can discount it, and only charge eight gold coins for two pieces, how about it?"
When Ah Gui heard this, his mouth opened up, he looked at Li Ye and said, "Childe, this is ....... Is it so expensive?"
Li Ye glanced at Agui and ignored him. Turning his head to the shopkeeper, he said, "Shopkeeper, I don't understand jade, I just look at it and like it." Ten is ten, but I have one request. ”
"Childe, but it doesn't matter, as long as you can do it, you can accept it. When the shopkeeper saw that the first business he had opened was ten gold coins, he was naturally very happy.
Li Ye thought for a while and said, "I want to engrave a few words on this jade carving, can you ask the master in the shop to teach you how to use a knife, I want to carve it myself." ”
The shopkeeper thought that this would be easy, and instructed the man: "Please Master Chen come here, and bring a piece of waste and a carving knife by the way." ”
After a while, the man led a noon craftsman of about forty to the front of the hall.
The shopkeeper stepped forward and greeted: "Master Chen, this son wants to buy these two jade carvings carved by you, and wants to learn the knife technique from you, and wants to engrave words on the back, so I'm sorry for you." ”
Li Ye also stepped forward, hugged his fist and saluted the master surnamed Chen, and said, "I'm sorry for Master Chen." ”
The middle-aged craftsman nodded, returned the salute, looked at the shopkeeper and Li Ye, and said: "The techniques for carving jade knives include horizontal knives, stranglers, knives, knives, and playing knives, and they require superb flexibility. ”
took a step forward, demonstrated the knife in his hand, carved it on a piece of leftovers, let Li Ye watch it, and said: "Childe only needs to engrave words, as long as you use this flat knife, as long as you use even force, try a few more times, you can." ”
After speaking, he handed the knife and the leftovers in his hand to Li Ye.
Li Ye took it, turned to the chair sitting on the edge of the tea table in the hall, turned the jade scraps in his hand, and learned Master Chen's technique of carving.
The true qi in the body was in the fingers, focusing on the tip of the knife, only to see jade dust sprinkled between the fingers, and a jade character in regular script appeared on the jade.
Master Chen took a look at it, was shocked, and said: "Gongzi's strength penetrates the back of the knife, his luck is round, this skill is profound, it is really a good knife technique!"
Li Ye put down the knife, gave Master Chen a fist salute, and said, "Thank you Master Chen for your guidance, I will use this knife for a while, please bear with me." ”
Master Chen also returned the salute and turned around and went into the inner room.
Li Ye took out the money bag, took out ten gold coins, and put them on the counter. He said to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, I want to give them to two friends separately, can you find me two brocade bags?"
When the shopkeeper heard this, he said that it was simple, and turned around and went to the counter to look for it.
Li Ye took out the jade Buddha carved with phoenix eyes from the wooden box and pinched it in his hand, but his heart was in a daze.
Thinking that he was going to go into the mountains with his husband, he didn't know when he would come back, and when he came back, maybe Dongfang Yu'er had already followed her mother back to Sifang City.
Shangguan Wushuang may also follow Xu Jingyun to the sect to practice, and when you see the two of you, I don't know how long it will take.
