Chapter 268 Chapter 268 Jia Sidao's Sculpture Skills

"Xiao Jia, the homeowner here, speaking of it, he is still a local, similar to your form, and he is also from a small town near Linhai County." Lao Yang saw the trace of the corner of Jia Sidao's mouth. With a smile, he explained a sentence on the side and said, "Because in recent years, the performance of setting up factories has not been very good. So..." "So, I'm ready to make a move, isn't it?" Jia Sidao still asked with a smile. "By the way, Lao Yang, this factory building used to be used for woodcarving, right?" Jia Sidao noticed that although the room was empty, there was still a lot of wood dust.

"Well, it's for root carving, and some simple wooden crafts such as wooden bowls and lattices." Lao Yang replied. "Although the style of the factory building is a bit old, it is not bad, and it is more in line with my wishes. Moreover, if the other party sells it, it should be connected to the land in front of me, right?" Jia Sidao glanced at the piece in front of the factory building. space. "That's natural." Lao Yang went on to say, "I've asked in detail a long time ago. If you really plan to accept this place, Xiao Jia, everything surrounded by walls will be yours. But , the homeowners here are mainly interested in selling the land and are not in a hurry to sell it, so in terms of price, I am afraid it will not be too low..."

"Hehe, the price is not a big problem." Jia Sidao pondered for a while.Then he continued, "I see, I don't really know much about this line of business myself. Why don't you let Lao Yang help and take charge of the operation, how about it?" "Xiao Jia, I think it's better for you to participate in such a large transaction and the flow of funds yourself, otherwise..." Lao Yang's eyes lit up, but hesitantly refused from the corner of his mouth.Otherwise, Lao Yang didn't say it out loud, but as long as he is a sensible person, he knows very well in his heart. If it is all traded by Lao Yang, let alone kickbacks, at least, Lao Yang's benefits are indispensable. .In particular, what Jia Sidao needs is to buy such a place in its entirety, which is naturally very different from ordinary leasing.

It's no wonder that when Lao Yang heard Jia Sidao's suggestion, even though he had a good relationship with Jia Sidao, he didn't dare to agree to it immediately. However, just because Lao Yang had such a slight hesitation, it obviously gave Jia Sidao a great sense of trust.If Lao Yang agreed without hesitation, Jia Sidao would need to consider whether his decision was correct. "Hehe, that's it. It's settled. Find someone I don't know well to negotiate with the homeowner. It's better to let Lao Yang handle it. It's more reassuring for me. Lao Yang, to be honest, I'm still more optimistic. your."

As he spoke, Jia Sidao patted Lao Yang on the shoulder. In terms of Jia Sidao's height, Lao Yang is a few years older than Jia Sidao, and he looks much older. However, in terms of height, there is still a little gap between Lao Yang and Jia Sidao of.Jia Sidao's action of patting his shoulder was extremely natural. If this was in the past, Jia Sidao would naturally not have made a similar move.Most of the time in the unit, it was Lao Yang who took care of Jia Sidao.However, the experience of the recent period has made Jia Sidao somewhat change in his words and deeds, and it is changing in a more atmospheric direction.This is a familiar movement with Lao Yang, and it will come naturally.

Lao Yang first glanced at Jia Sidao in surprise.Immediately, as if he wanted to understand something in his heart, he nodded to Jia Sidao and said, "Okay. Xiao Jia, since you have said so, Lao Yang, I will not do things against my conscience." That appearance is a bit like patting his chest to ensure that he completes the task. "However, Xiao Jia, tell me the price beforehand, how much will you be able to offer?" Afterwards, Lao Yang took a serious look at the surrounding environment and the size of the place with his eyes, before He moved to Jia Sidao's side and asked in a low voice.

"This, I thought, it should be within this number." Jia Sidao gestured.Said, "Specifically, I think, I'd better find a professional to estimate it, anyway, I certainly don't understand it myself." "Yes. That's fine." Lao Yang nodded. "It's the location of this place. It's a bit far from the Antique Street." Jia Sidao looked at the gate and sighed.If not, I am afraid that Lao Yang would not have put this place in the third candidate position, so he brought Jia Sidao over to have a look, right? Compared with the second one, which is a bit far from the Antique Street, the third factory building is located in the northern area of ​​Linhai City, and is almost a little closer to the back mountain in the north of the city.Speaking of it, the location is still within the scope of the old city, but it is definitely not far from the new city.

However, this is also closer to the villa where Jia Sidao lives, isn't it? The so-called balance of gains and losses is nothing more than that. Then I had some simple exchanges with Lao Yang about the purchase of the factory building. Jia Sidao looked at the time and found that it was getting late. Afterwards, he naturally brought Lao Yang and the people behind him to inquire about the news. Those younger brothers went to the "Xin Mingmen" hotel and had a meal.It can't be said that it is a big fish and meat, but it also makes everyone eat more happily!When it was over, Jia Sidao also distributed a few packs of cigarettes by himself, which was regarded as thanks for their help these days.

The next day, Jia Sidao called Ah San and asked about the land price near the back mountain. Ah San was curious for a while, and said after pondering: "Xiao Jia, you are planning to buy a house over there, right?" As he spoke, he still looked at Jia Sidao in disbelief, and muttered to himself. One sentence, "Shouldn't it?" Immediately, Jia Sidao shook his head speechlessly, and said, "I said Ah San, what are you muttering about? Isn't that what I'm just asking. Don't tell me, after I have the intention to buy a house, Can I ask again?" "Otherwise, who do you think would just ask about the land price over there when they have nothing to do?" Ah San also made a very speechless expression, but immediately rolled her eyes, blinked a few times, and said, "Xiao Jia, let me tell you, didn't you find a suitable storage room over there?"

Seeing Jia Sidao nodded, Ah San also smiled happily, and said, "My boy, it's really a good idea to have you. Uncle Zhou's factory is in the east of the city. Although the environment is not bad, However, the land price is too high, and the distance is still very far. Therefore, he can only rent it. However, the land price in the area behind the mountain in the north is relatively low, and what's more, the traffic Yes, it’s pretty good. I said Xiao Jia, why did you think of it there?” "I asked someone to help me find it. Do you think I designed it from the beginning?" Jia Sidao muttered angrily.

Afterwards, Ah San understood the reason why Jia Sidao came here to find him, and immediately took Jia Sidao to find a real estate agency, introduced the manager there to Jia Sidao, and the three went to Jia Sidao together. On the side of the factory building that Sidao wanted, he checked it on the spot, and the middle-aged manager gave Jia Sidao an acceptable market reference price. It is a little bit lower than Jia Sidao's psychological price. Jia Sidao didn't care, and after calling Lao Yang, the choice of the storage room was considered completed temporarily.Even, Jia Sidao also explained that if the negotiation fails there, he can go to the first house he inspected to trade.After all, even though the house needs major renovations after it is bought, it can still make do with it. What's more, it's even closer to the Antique Street. "By the way, Xiao Jia, do you have any plans for the future?" Ah San saw that Jia Sidao finished calling and ordered to go down, then looked at the sky and asked, "It's not yet noon." I heard that those people who went to Beijing have all returned to Linhai, do you want to get together?" "Are they still thinking about going back to Linhai?" Jia Sidao touched his nose and said, "I thought they would just stay in Beijing and not come back." Speaking of which, most of those cronies People, but they have all gone to Beijing, and it has been nearly a month. "Hehe, I also thought that they were not going back to Linhai." Ah San joked and said. "At that time, if they know that Xiao Jia, you have opened a jadeite shop on the Antique Street, what kind of expression will they have?" "Well, it's worth looking forward to!" Jia Sidao nodded and began to imagine, feeling quite amused.Seeing Ah San next to him with the same expression, he said something. "However, Ah San, I think we'll have to wait two or three days to get together with them. Let's talk about the storage room over there after the renovation is completed. Otherwise, I really don't have the heart to go out and make peace for a while." .” "That's natural, I thought, I might as well wait until the preparation of your store is completed, and then tell them. At that time, it's better to see their surprised expressions. Hehe..." Ah San nodded with a smile, and said "Then what's next? To cut stones? The day before yesterday, Xiao Xu and I cut out a piece of blue emerald. The color is really beautiful... By the way. Xiao Jia, I haven't said you yet, you It’s so embarrassing, I was cut out of the blood jade yesterday, and I didn’t even notify me. Fortunately, I went to the factory last night. Otherwise, I would have missed it.” "Did you miss it?" Jia Sidao said a little funny, "If you think about it, I guess there is no chance to miss it. Could it be that after the blood jade is carved, you can still see it?" However, since Ah San It's all about stone cutting.Then, in the following time, Jia Sidao was naturally dragged by Asan to Zhou Fugui's factory. Zhou Fugui himself was still absent, Xu Zhiguo was concentrating on carving jadeite ornaments, and the other workers in the factory were also working in full swing.Jia Sidao has almost become very used to such scenes in recent days.Immediately came behind Xu Zhiguo, and continued to watch his carving process. Ah San touched Jia Sidao's elbow, and gave him a questioning look. Jia Sidao explained what he meant by wanting to learn sculpture.As a result, Ah San naturally wanted to learn from her.It's just that explaining the main points of jadeite carving is not a very interesting thing. In addition, Xu Zhiguo's explanation is one sentence on the left and one sentence on the right. do not understand.So, Ah San didn't listen for a while, and felt that it was completely useless to learn how to carve jadeite ornaments here, so she decided to pick a piece of rough jadeite by herself, and went to the side to cut the stone. How can learning the craft of jadeite carving be so tense and exciting as cutting stones directly? Jia Sidao couldn't help smiling at Ah San's figure, and shook his head slightly, his eyes continued to change following the changes in Xu Zhiguo's carving movements.Last night, Jia Sidao was in the basement, using a piece of ordinary jadeite material, he tried to carve it by himself. It's just that I can clearly think of how to carve in my mind, but after the knife in my hand goes down, the effect is completely different from what I imagined in my mind. There is nothing like it.Jia Sidao could only give up carving in helplessness and depression. Today, Jia Sidao naturally came to ask Xu Zhiguo for advice with such and such questions. After Xu Zhiguo heard the words, he cracked his lips and said, "Boss, if you really want to learn carving, it's useless to be impatient. It's better to take it step by step. For example, this knife, whether it is strength, Angle, tools. They are all very particular. In addition, there are different particularities for different jadeite materials. Just like practicing calligraphy, pen calligraphy and brush calligraphy are completely two concepts. In addition, whether you want to write It doesn't matter if you write with a brush or with a pen, only if you write all the strokes and strokes, can you combine them into a complete font..." After talking like this, Jia Sidao understood a lot.Don't look at Xu Zhiguo, when carving a jadeite bracelet, the transition from the drastic to the meticulous carving is very natural and smooth.However, how much sweat has been shed and how many failures have been experienced, cannot be fully understood and guessed by just relying on one's imagination. Of course, what surprised Jia Sidao the most was that when Xu Zhiguo, who has always given priority to explaining in a rough way, could come up with an exact and appropriate metaphor? Perhaps seeing Jia Sidao's surprised expression, Xu Zhiguo scratched the back of his head with his dirty hands, not caring how much dust stuck to his hair, even the dirt on the cuffs of his clothes, I didn't even pay attention to it, and with a coy smile on the corner of my mouth, I explained: "Boss, don't look at me like that, it always makes me feel awkward. In fact, this metaphor came from when I first learned to sculpt, my master, Tell me." "Oh, so, when you first started learning art, you also encountered the same problem as I do now?" Jia Sidao raised a beautiful arc at the corner of his mouth! "That's natural." Xu Zhiguo didn't hide his clumsiness, and said, "When I first started learning, I didn't care about anything. I just watched the master carve. I thought, isn't carving this thing quite simple? Then , I took a stone to test it, and it turned out that when I cut the knife, I didn’t grasp the strength well, and one of the cuts was off, and I almost cut off my finger.” As he spoke, Xu Zhiguo’s expression was still slightly There is some feeling of fear. When Jia Sidao heard the words, he was also full of sighs.Therefore, Jia Sidao paid more attention to the basic skills of sculpture.Fortunately, it seems that he came here specially to help Jia Sidao. When Xu Zhiguo carved next, he was doing some initial carving.For example, for a jadeite pendant, as usual, Xu Zhiguo would carve all the way to the end, until the whole piece of material was almost finished, revealing a complete and vivid shape, before he would continue to carve other jadeite materials.However, at this moment, Xu Zhiguo was carrying out some rough and rough carvings on the same piece of jade with different knife techniques, and then changed a piece of jadeite material, which was still roughly carved. Sidao naturally understood that Xu Zhiguo wanted Jia Sidao to master as much as possible the initial skills of this sculpture. In the afternoon, let's not talk about the excitement shown by Ah San's stone cutting, or what kind of emerald material was cut out.As far as Jia Sidao is concerned, under the supervision of Xu Zhiguo, he began to sculpt some jadeite materials of ordinary texture. To put it bluntly, let Jia Sidao try his hand! Of course, such an attempt is naturally impossible to completely carry out a detailed carving, and it is impossible to be the same as the jade carving Jia Sidao imagined last night. Among them, the shape carved out of the jadeite material is equally realistic and moving. After checking the jadeite material, what kind of shape of the jade jewelry appears in the mind, and then according to this shape, it is slowly polished bit by bit. When you cut the knife, you must not be in a hurry. In addition, at the beginner stage, you can't pay attention to the knife, you must be in place. In Xu Zhiguo's words, that is, it is better to slow down the carving of jadeite.When cutting the knife, it is also targeted, so it is better to be careful.It is better to slow down and polish thinner than to cut deeper with one knife. After all, if the cut is thin, you can use the second or third cut to make up for it, but if the cut is deep, it is undoubtedly a pity as far as the entire jadeite is concerned! "However, why do I feel that the emerald form carved out by making up for it one by one is a bit awkward?" Jia Sidao looked at the first jade ornament in his hand, oh no, it was the first jade ornament. A piece of emerald material, said, "No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it." "Hehe, that's natural." Xu Zhiguo said happily, "You have seen that a calligraphy writer, after constantly tracing and repairing the same stroke of the same character, wrote Will the handwriting look good?" Jia Sidao thought about it for a while, the corners of his mouth cracked, and he said: "That's right. If the skill is in place, the next knife can take care of the next knife. The rings are interlocking, and the carving will be smooth. From the looks of the jadeite material, the carved finished product is much more natural. Otherwise, no matter how you modify it, there will always be some unsatisfactory aspects." "That's not always true." Xu Zhiguo sighed and said, "Sometimes, it's better to be fast than slow. But, sometimes, it's better to be slow than fast." "No wonder, when I was watching your sculpture, the speed varied from fast to slow." Jia Sidao nodded. However, at this moment, Xu Zhiguo did not continue to talk about where to be fast and where to be slow, specifically speaking.I'm afraid, as far as the commentary is concerned, Xu Zhiguo feels a little bit exhausted.Some things, I can understand.Not necessarily, it can be said very well. Could it be that this can only be understood, but not expressed in words? In Jia Sidao's heart, he was muttering: If Xu Zhiguo's master, he would be here.In this way, if every time Jia Sidao encounters a difficult problem, the other party can explain it with an image metaphor, then the jadeite carving skills will not be too boring to learn. Looking at Ah San at this time, he was still cutting stones with great interest. Jia Sidao looked back at the jadeite jewelry in his hand, for the time being, let’s call it a jadeite jewelry.After Jia Sidao's one knife, two knife, three knife, and many knife carvings, its shape is still not very clear. I am afraid that Jia Sidao is a little suspicious at this moment. How can you clearly think of what kind of pendant you want to carve into when you are using this material? Fortunately, Jia Sidao did not give up, and continued to do a new round of comparison with the jade material in his hand! About half an hour later, Ah San suddenly came to Jia Sidao's side. She was still smiling, but after seeing the "Jade Ornament" in Jia Sidao's hand, she laughed wantonly Come on, and asked: "Xiao Jia, what are you carving? Could it be a Guanyin pendant? Well, it doesn't look too much like... Maitreya Buddha? It doesn't look like much. By the way, is it a bat?..." "Ah San, don't you really see it at all?" Jia Sidao ignored Ah San's joke, and asked as if leisurely, with the expression on his face trying to pretend to be calm . "Uh, is it really a bat? But, just a bat, isn't it suitable? Besides, looking at this shape, it doesn't quite look like it." After Ah San heard this, she began to bow her head and meditate.The more he thought about it, the deeper his frown became. Jia Sidao said angrily: "How can it be said to be a bat? What I want to carve is a jadeite pendant in which a monkey steals a peach. How about it, can it be okay? This is my first time Engraving jade pendants." Jia Sidao gritted his voice hard on the last sentence "carving for the first time". However, Ah San's attention was obviously not focused on the accented part. "Monkeys stealing peaches?" Ah San was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Jia Sidao with a smile, and said, "Well, let's not talk about monkeys for now. It's still because you left such an unobtrusive piece of material." , size or something, it’s not bad that you have reserved it. But, let me ask carefully, what about the peaches?” "It's right here, didn't you see it?" Jia Sidao pointed to the tiny protruding point on the emerald material. "Isn't it? This can also be considered a peach?" Ah San was speechless, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "Anyway, I have never seen such a small peach. It must be the material. You didn't design it well. It was originally a peach." It's not suitable for carving monkeys and stealing peaches, so you must make such a shape?" "No, no." Jia Sidao was hesitating, and Xu Zhiguo beside him said with a smile, "This piece of material was cut out by me earlier. Originally, it was indeed intended to be carved into a monkey to steal peaches." "Uh, then why is this peach so small?" Ah San was puzzled, and said, "I have seen the jade pendants carved by you in the past, and among them, monkeys stole peaches. Monkeys have different shapes. What’s more, although the proportion of the peach has some changes, its size is not too small. Especially the cartoon monkey in the exaggerated form, the big peach, but It left a deep impression on me. Maybe, after Xiao Jia’s jadeite shop opens in a few days, I’ll go to cheer and get this pendant.” "Ah San, those who have you have already chosen their targets." Jia Sidao turned around and thumped Ah San on the shoulder.Although Jia Sidao knew very well in his heart that Ah San would definitely buy one or two pieces of jade ornaments on the day he opened his business, but Jia Sidao was quite moved by saying it so directly now. . "However, let me tell you, if you really want to join us, a jadeite pendant featuring monkeys stealing peaches is not enough." "Then what do you want me to do?" Ah San spread out her hands and said, "I don't have as much money as you. Otherwise, you can sell it to me at a discount of 10%? Then I will use up all my property, Let’s buy all your emeralds.” "It's a good idea of ​​yours, and it's a 10% discount." Jia Sidao smiled wryly, and said, "At that time, I can give you a 9.99% discount, and I think it's almost the same." "You unscrupulous businessman, this shop has not opened yet, and you are thinking of exploiting consumers." Ah San said, "But, don't change the subject, where is the 'Peach' of the jadeite pendant?" asked During the conversation, Ah San took a special look at Xu Zhiguo. "Hey, anyway, I reserved the material for carving peaches." Xu Zhiguo smiled strangely, and turned his head away after he finished speaking. "Uh, that is to say, Xiao Jia, did you carve away the peach material?" Ah San saw Jia Sidao shrugging his shoulders, mourning for a while, and sighed speechlessly. He said, "It seems that I didn't learn how to carve jade, so I really had the foresight." After finishing speaking, he burst into laughter!
