017 Smelly roses
"Boss, let's just be so cheap this kid, you see what he looks like, he can't wait to walk with a flutter!"
In the shop opposite, the guy said with some resentment.
At this time, Boss Wang and his buddies were lying on the counter near the door of the store, monitoring Song Yu's every move in the store, and when he saw Xue Yang come out and deliberately adjusted the position of the brand, Wang Lei gritted his teeth and crunched.
That guy originally thought that he was very clever in slapping the sycophants this time, but who knew that Wang Lei slapped him directly on the head.
"Damn, he's not a god! You tell me how he flies! ”
The guy was a little aggrieved, but he didn't dare to speak, and got up silently to work.
But what kind of work is there to do, there are not many people here today, and finally one comes, and it is still the old man who came to beg for something.
After all, the business of Song Yu's store is really hot, so hot that Wang Lei's store doesn't even have a decent customer.
At this time, Mrs. Chen, who was wearing a thick layer of makeup, walked in from the door, and when she saw that the guys in the store were about to fall asleep, she also frowned and looked at Chen Lei.
"I said that this is how you are the boss, the employees are lax like this, don't you care, those who doze off, must deduct their wages!"
Wang Lei seems to be in a bad spirit, he has always smiled like Maitreya Buddha, but at this time he has completely become a Shar Pei.
But Mrs. Chen's harsh voice finally made Wang Lei raise his head.
But he didn't look up and smile, just gritted his teeth and said, "What's the matter, what are you busy with, I can't wait to eat the little beast named Xue Yang on the other side now!" ”
Then Wang Lei told Mrs. Chen about today's incident, saying how the opposite family bullied people, and said that Xue Yang's kid was able to distinguish between real and fake rubies with the naked eye, and he was simply a monster.
After hearing this, Mrs. Chen smiled and said, "You usually have a bright head, but when it comes to the critical moment, why is it not easy to use?" ”
"What, what do you think I could do at that time, I couldn't fight that kid's ghost eyes with all my strength."
Mrs. Chen looked at her nails and said with some disdain: "Since I know that the yellow-haired boy has some real skills, and I also heard that the things he carved are even praised by those collectors, for this person, of course we can't compare with him, we can only compare with Song Yu's girl!" ”
"Compared with Song Yu? But how can you compare, Song Yu has that kid in the way? ”
Mrs. Chen directly knocked her hand on Wang Lei's head, and then pretended to be a master and said: "So you are still too stupid, we just need to spend a lot of money to dig that kid over, what else does Song Yu use to rob us, there is a time when she cries." ”
Wang Lei was still skeptical: "But is that kid willing to come over?" ”
"Then let me ask you, did the guy from the shop across the street return the gem to the old man?"
Faced with Mrs. Chen's question, Wang Lei didn't think about it and said: "Isn't this an obvious problem, those worthless stones may have been returned, but the ruby is two million, who would be so stupid, and they didn't pick the billboards." ”
Hearing him say this, Mrs. Chen smiled: "That's not it, so it seems that this person doesn't belong to you at all, so who is he doing things for, it must be for money, if we pay double or triple times Song Yu's stinky girl, then even a fool will have to come." ”
At this time, Wang Lei suddenly realized, and suddenly clapped his hands: "Yes, why didn't I think of it, Mrs. Chen, you are really amazing, if you do it, you will leave it to me." ”
But Mrs. Chen shook her head at this time and said: "You go and use a fart, do you know what opposites attract, I want money and beauty at the same time, I don't believe he doesn't take the bait!" ”
Just when the two were planning the conspiracy, the person they planned was walking in a corner of the cultural relics market.
Xue Yang let out a big sneeze, and this sneeze made him uncomfortable.
"Grass, who cursed me behind my back again." Xue Yang scolded secretly, and picked up a red gem casually.
"Oh, uncle, you really have good eyesight, this is a royal ruby from the United Kingdom, the price is only 100,000, it will definitely make you feel at ease and buy cool!" A man who looked like a boss trotted straight from the side.
Looking at the boss's flattering appearance, Xue Yang also smiled and said: "Britain doesn't produce rubies at all, although this thing is popular in that area, but it is also from North America and Southeast Asia, and your piece is artificial, and the internal scars of the gem are too obvious." ”
Hearing him say this, the boss was immediately unhappy, and it turned out that he would stand straight when he bent over: "Come on, you hi, don't wander around here if you don't have money, it's good to go to the vegetable market if you have nothing to do, and if you can't afford it, you can say that other people's things are bad, hurry up and go." ”
The boss obviously saw that Xue Yang was an insider, but the so-called insiders also had rules, that is, don't be scared of other people's business, so Xue Yang was not angry when he was driven out by the boss like this.
He left the store with a smile, and then visited several more stores, but he couldn't find anything suitable.
At this time, the little milk mouse seems to have fallen asleep in his pocket, and it seems that there is really nothing good here for the time being.
Xue Yang had to buy a batch of slightly higher-grade jade, and then called a car to go back.
Now the things in the store are in short supply, so Xue Yang only buys those with better quality now, after all, doing business is also about maximizing profits.
Xue Yang took his carving knife and transformed these things, with the extraordinary skills he obtained from carving, those carvings that originally did not have much charm only needed a few small changes, and they were like the finishing touch, and they were much more vivid in an instant.
So as long as it is sold in the store, although not all of them are carved by Xue Yang, they have more or less experienced his hands.
To be honest, Xue Yang never felt that this job was so easy, but he had just mastered the theoretical knowledge, and he also urgently needed a large amount of jade to practice his hands.
When he came to his studio, he first stated to Song Yu that he didn't want anyone to disturb him, because what he was going to try next was to touch the real peak of knife work.
Xue Yang once went to Old Man Huang's studio, and he had long remembered the egg carving in the studio.
What he wants to try today is to imitate the carving technique of the egg carving.
The first step in carving jade is to chisel the rough blank, which is also the most important step.
If you want your work to be vivid, layered, integral, and have a stable center of gravity at the same time, you must achieve perfection when chiseling rough blanks.
So Xue Yang took the ruler and the carving knife and compared there for a long time without starting, and after watching it for nearly an hour, he made the first move.
This knife went down, and the carving knife basically never left the jade, and the overall form was completed in one go, unless the size of the carving knife was to be changed in the middle, Xue Yang stopped a little.
According to the basic principles from top to bottom, from the outside to the inside, Xue Yang completely did what the egg carving in his head looked like.
After having the general form, the tools in Xue Yang's hands began to change frequently, and this time it was a more cumbersome chisel blank, but when Xue Yang finally began to carve the sleeping phoenix inside after spending another two hours, a small piece of jade that was originally used as a phoenix fell directly.
So far, this work has been a complete failure.
Xue Yang took a deep breath and threw the jade directly into the waste bucket, in addition to the fact that the nature of this jade material really cannot be compared with the quality of the phoenix in the carved egg, Xue Yang's own carving technology is not in place, which is also a very important reason.
It's still too tender.
A breath of turbid breath exhaled from his chest, although he was able to carve such a fine product as the imperial green glass phoenix, but the science of carving has never ended.
Just when Xue Yang was full of confusion, his mind once again recalled the words in the carving technique.
But at this time, he found that there were many more unfamiliar chapters in the carving technique in his mind, which surprised him and made him happy, after all, it would be great if there was a follow-up to such a classic.
Xue Yang carefully comprehended those new chapters, and quickly took out a relatively small jade, and after a few laps of the carving knife in his hand, a rose appeared in his hand.
His speed became faster, and the work in his hand was even more surprised, as if he had already smelled the fragrance of the rose when he looked at the jade rose.
Seeing roses and smelling the fragrance, Xue Yang knew that this was just a conditioned reflex of his brain, but this was enough to show that his carving skills had once again entered a new realm.
With this joy, Xue Yang ran out of the studio directly, and at this time he realized that he had been in the studio for a long time, because it was already late, and Song Yu had already prepared a table of side dishes, sitting at the table and waiting for him to eat.
Xue Yang's stomach began to growl very well, he quickly washed his hands, rushed to the table, and immediately ate a lot.
Since Xue Yang didn't eat enough at that meal, Song Yu made five or six people's portions every time he cooked, eating one for himself, and Xue Yang was responsible for eating up all the rest.
Looking at the dishes on the table, although they were simple, they were all finely made, Xue Yang was also moved.
He took out the jade rose directly from his pocket and put it in Song Yu's hand.
After hugging during the day, Song Yu's eyes still seemed a little strange when he looked at Xue Yang now, and after receiving a rose, his face was even more pale pink.
Song Yu's expression was in Xue Yang's eyes, but he pretended not to see anything and continued to gulp down his own food.
But when Song Yu seemed to smell the fragrance of roses, he also asked curiously, "Did you spray perfume?" ”
Xue Yang, who was still eating food over there, shook his head proudly.
At this time, Song Yu's eyes widened in horror, she already knew what was going on.
Song Yu's eyes were a little distracted, but Xue Yang didn't expect this, he shook Song Yu's arm and asked: "I said boss, what do you want, I have improved my carving skills now, shouldn't you be happy, why do you still seem to have such a big heart." ”
The proprietress finally showed a knowing smile on her face: "Of course I'm happy, but I just thought that this technique was the carving realm that my father had pursued all his life, but he never told me whether he had succeeded or not." ”
The death of his father is still a lingering knot in Song Yu's heart, and this feeling can only be handed over to time to slowly heal.
Xue Yang just patted her arm and didn't say anything.
And at this time, a pungent smell of perfume came through, almost masking the fragrance of the meal.
Xue Yang frowned and looked towards the door, only to find that Mrs. Chen was twisting her hips and walking towards this side step by step
