Night 755 Soul Carver

With more care, everything can become true.

Because the ancestors are engaged in the jade processing business, so Zhang Xiaokai has a unique interest in jade carving since he was a child, under the careful teaching of his grandfather and father and several father's grandfather's partners, Zhang Xiaokai's carving technology can be said to be a collection of all the carvers' strengths, and he is famous in his peers at a young age.

Zhang Xiaokai is very low-key and unassuming, and his family has accumulated a lot of wealth in his generation, but Xiaokai's life is still very simple, and he rarely goes out on weekdays, basically staying in the jade workshop handed down from his ancestors, researching and processing jade.

Zhang Xiaokai is already a famous person, carving technology is far above his grandfather and father, every day to find him to process jade there are a lot of people, every day the business is too good, Xiaokai's technology is good, he is just an ordinary person, not a fairy, after a long time of work there is a time when tired, and if he solicits too much business, his peers will have no food to eat, so Zhang Xiaokai has a rule, only accept a maximum of three orders of business every day.

The three single business is small enough to open the jade workshop and all the expenses of their daily life are still left, so that they will not be very tired, the three single business received by Xiao Kai on this day is not very large, and the technical nature of the processing is not much difficult, Xiao Kai let his apprentices help to do it, and he is hiding in the back room of the jade workshop.

Before the cup of tea was finished, he heard a commotion in front of him, Xiao Kai hurriedly put down the tea bowl and ran to the front hall to check what was going on, only to see a middle-aged fat man with an unkind face come to the front hall, dressed in a vulgar dress, like a "nouveau riche", with a big gold chain and a small watch, he was afraid that others would not know that he was rich.

Behind the middle-aged man, there are a few young people in their twenties, still holding a guy in their hands, it doesn't look like a good thing at first glance, as long as such a row is a person with a little brain, you can guess that this is simply here to find fault, but Xiao Kai is a businessman after all, and you can't pick and choose when doing business, no matter how difficult it is to serve the guests, you have to greet them with a smile.

The guy in the store saw that the boss came, and hurriedly explained the situation to Xiao Kai, it turned out that today just opened the door to receive three orders of business, so everyone is busy completing the order, at this time the middle-aged man came in with people, said that he wanted to process jade, the little guy in the store said that today's list is enough and will not take orders, if you need to process it will come again tomorrow, if you wait to use it, go to other stores to have a look, the guy is kind and middle-aged people introduced several other good jade workshops.

People often say: "Reach out and don't hit the smiling person", but the middle-aged fat man is really good, not only did not listen to the good words and persuasion of the work, but also directly hit the guy in the mouth, the guys in the jade workshop saw that their people were beaten, and they all stopped doing it, and they were going to quarrel with each other with their arms and sleeves.

After Xiao Kai listened to what happened, he came to the middle-aged fat man and said politely: "This distinguished guest."

Sir, I am the owner of this jade workshop, my name is Zhang Xiaokai, just now the guy in my shop offended you, I hope you don't get used to it, he just does things according to my orders, if you want to blame me, Zhang Xiaokai is good, in addition, our store does stipulate that only three orders of business are accepted every day, but your old man is a distinguished guest, so make an exception, take out your jade and let us palm, this time I Zhang Xiaokai personally carved jade for you, what do you think?"

"The boss is worthy of being the boss, he is much better than those guys, for the sake of Boss Zhang's face, I will not meet them in general, my name is Li Sanpao, I don't know if Boss Zhang has heard of it, but it doesn't matter if you have heard of my name, I mainly came to process jade this time, this is the high-quality jade wool that I spent more than 30 million to bring back from abroad, Boss Zhang, you have to carve a high-quality jade for me, otherwise I will be very angry!".

"Of course, Boss Li, please rest assured, Zhang Xiaokai, I will do my best!" Xiao Kai is still quite confident in his craft, but as soon as he saw the so-called "high-grade jade" that Li Sanpao took out, Zhang Xiaokai was angry and almost killed Li Sanpao with that piece of jade.

Where is this jade, it is clearly a large pebble that can be seen everywhere, Zhang Xiaokai's embarrassed appearance Li Sanpao had already guessed it, and deliberately teased: "Boss Zhang, can you help me carve this piece of jade into a jade Buddha like this?" As long as you carve it well, the price is up to you, but if you give me this piece of jade, according to the regulations, you will have to compensate according to the price" Li Sanpao said while looking at Zhang Xiaokai with bad intentions.

originally thought that Zhang Xiaokai would refuse, and he could take the opportunity to smash Xiaokai's jade workshop, but what Li Sanpao didn't expect was that Zhang Xiaokai agreed very happily, and explained that if you want to carve high-quality jade, you need to carve carefully, so it will take at least three days for this jade to be successfully carved, and the price will of course be very high, which is more than ten times the normal processing fee.

can carve an ordinary stone into a piece of jade, even no one will believe it, so Li Sanpao happily agreed to Zhang Xiaokai's request, but put forward one condition, that is, he would send someone to supervise Xiaokai in Xiaokai's jade workshop until the carving was completed, and Xiaokai still did not refuse.

The two young people who received Li Sanpao's order were very dedicated, and the opportunity was to monitor Zhang Xiaokai's every move inch by inch, and report to Li Sanpao every day, what Li Sanpao didn't expect was that Zhang Xiaokai just enshrined the "jade" on the offering table with the tablets of his grandfather and father in the first two days, and worshiped three incense sticks every day.

On the third day, Xiao Kai didn't mean to carve the pebble all day long, and the two young men in charge of supervision also pretended to be kind enough to remind Zhang Xiaokai that Li Sanpao was going to pick up the goods today, Xiao Kai just smiled and said confidently: "Let Boss Li come, before dawn tomorrow morning, it will definitely be completed!"

The two of them watched Zhang Xiao

It wasn't until more than eight o'clock in the evening that he saw Xiao Kai walk into the ancestral hall with a sharp carving knife and take out the pebble.

Who would have thought that Zhang Xiaokai just put the pebble in a box covered with red cloth inside, and put on a lock and no longer care about the box, the two of them immediately reported the situation to Li Sanpao, and Li Sanpao brought people early the next morning, this time with more people than last time, and everyone still had a guy in their hands.

But when Li Sanpao opened the box, he found that there was a lifelike, beautifully carved jade Buddha inside, the carving was very delicate and there was no trace of it, and Li Sanpao had no choice but to pay a large processing fee to Zhang Xiaokai, and then left with the jade piece stupidly.

"Master, such a good piece of jade was given to him for nothing like this, then wouldn't we lose a lot!"

"Wendong, don't worry, your master and I are not stupid, where will I give them real jade?"

"But Master, even if it's fake, we haven't seen you carve that jade."

"It's easy, because my grandfather and my dad carved it for me!"

"Master, don't scare me, your grandfather and father have been dead for many years!"

Xiao Kai didn't speak, just smiled strangely and inscrutably at the apprentice.

When he returned home, Li Sanpao couldn't wait for people to open the box and take out the Jade Buddha, but after opening the box, he found that there was nothing in it except a few small pieces of gravel!

Later, it was rumored that Zhang Xiaokai didn't actually know how to carve, but just relied on the help of his ghost father and ghost grandfather, and this matter was later rumored to be more and more evil, and some people even said that Zhang Xiaokai was the reincarnation of "Lu Banye".

Only Xiao Kai understands all this in his heart, he just painted a little paint on the surface of the stone carving, which makes people think it is a jade, but in fact, it is just a layer of paint on the surface of the stone tool, as for why it is placed in the ancestral hall for two or three days, it is because the ancestral hall is located in the west, the ventilation paint is easy to dry, and the incense is burning in it for a long time, which can burn the paint, so that the paint can be better fitted to the surface of the stone, and it will be more durable to be fake and real!
