Chapter 272 Chapter 272 Live Performance

"If a person's knife skills have a strong personal style, or to put it simply, his knife skills have their own characteristics and are different from everyone else's, then such jade works are undoubtedly It has a high market value and collection value." Xu Zhiguo said solemnly, and deliberately shook the jade Guanyin pendant in his hand, "Let's talk about this jade pendant, if it is from the specific details , it's a bit, a bit unsatisfactory. It can be clearly seen that the sculptor himself is not very familiar with the craftsmanship of jadeite carving. However, as far as his knife skills are concerned, it is really enviable. At least , I’ve grown up so much, I’ve never seen a knife like this before....By the way, boss, this thing, isn’t it true that you carved it?”

"What do you think?" Jia Sidao was speechless in his heart, but he was quite satisfied with Xu Zhiguo's evaluation of this jadeite pendant.Moreover, what Xu Zhiguo said is also reasonable.This kind of carving method is really rare, even a novice jade carving like Jia Sidao who is not very knowledgeable can also see that this jade Guanyin pendant is special! Leaving aside, how much artistic level can Jia Sidao carve out with the skill at hand now. With such carving techniques, Jia Sidao has undoubtedly stood at a commanding height! Xu is used to seeing Jia Sidao's carelessness in normal time, but at this moment, suddenly, he saw Jia Sidao say something with a serious face, Xu Zhiguo was not used to hearing the words, even when he spoke , also had a slightly intermittent feeling: "Well, that boss, you really made this thing?... It seems, it's right, as far as the performance of the Jade Avalokitesvara statue is concerned, it really looks a bit like your boss's craftsmanship level. However, boss, you are learning too quickly. Besides, how did you carve it?"

At the end, when Xu Zhiguo looked at Jia Sidao, he couldn't help feeling a little hot. "I don't know how to carve it out." Jia Sidao rolled his big eyes, so he couldn't say that he has supernatural perception, right? "That's how it's carved, carved, and it's carved. In fact, I feel that I'm still not very satisfied with this jadeite work." "Not very satisfied?" Xu Zhiguo said in surprise, "Since the boss, you are not satisfied with this item, why don't you give it to me for collection, how about it?" "That's impossible." Hearing Xu Zhiguo talk about collecting, Jia Sidao's heart moved, and he said, "Anyway, this is also the first jadeite work I have produced, and I am still planning to collect it myself."

"Then there is no other way." Xu Zhiguo smiled awkwardly, handed back the Avalokitesvara pendant to Jia Sidao, and said, "However, boss, next time, can you carve a jade ornament for me to collect?" ?” "Next time?" Jia Sidao smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, couldn't help smiling, and said, "Why wait until next time?" "Then boss, what do you mean?" Xu Zhiguo asked suspiciously. "Just carve one now." Jia Sidao said, "Anyway, I don't have anything to do right now, so I can carve one right in front of your eyes. No way, I still need you as a master. Come and make a good job of it." Let me give you some pointers." As he spoke, Jia Sidao didn't care that Xu Zhiguo opened his mouth wide, and didn't know how to close it for a while, and chose from the jadeite materials that were originally used to carve ordinary jade pendants for Xu Zhiguo from the edge of the factory building. took a piece.

I put it in my hand and weighed it, and it feels pretty good. As far as its quality is concerned, it is naturally a bit smaller than the one from last night.It is generally the same size as those small jade pendants circulating in the market.The texture of the emerald material is also slightly different from the one from last night.The piece that was carved originally belonged to the ice species.The current piece of material belongs to the ice bean species. Speaking of which, Jia Sidao also wanted to feel the difference between the ice bean jade and the ice jade during the carving process under the perception of supernatural powers.

"By the way, Xiao Xu, where is your carving knife? Lend me to use it." Jia Sidao suddenly thought of his own set of carving knives last night, and the blades showed a relatively "slow" feeling. What kind of feeling will you have with the carving knife?Of course, on the factory side, Jia Sidao himself has a set of carving knives for learning to carve, but, anyway, compared with the quality used by Xu Zhiguo, there should be a big gap, right? Sure enough, with curiosity and anticipation, Xu Zhiguo took his carving knife and handed it over.After Jia Sidao held it in his hand and was about to carry out a new round of carving, the feeling for the carving knife that appeared in his mind was much sharper than when he used the carving knife last night.

Jia Sidao's heart moved slightly, thinking to himself, maybe he should also get a decent set of sculptors. "Boss, have you started carving now?" Xu Zhiguo looked at Jia Sidao's actions and muttered to himself, "Don't you need to look at the general condition of the jadeite material first?" "This, of course, needs to be seen." Jia Sidao smiled coyly, and took a look at his current appearance, with the jade material fixed in his left hand, and the carving knife in his right hand, which was pressed against the jade material. At first glance, it looks quite ostentatious, maybe it looks the same as when Xu Zhiguo carved it.However, from the perspective of normal people, it is too early for Jia Sidao to start carving like this.After all, it was only a moment from when he picked up the emerald material to receiving Xu Zhiguo's carving knife.

Hence, Jia Sidao immediately added a sentence, saying: "I don't want to make a gesture first, to see if this carving knife is easy to use." "No wonder." Xu Zhiguo nodded. Immediately, Jia Sidao gestured to the carving knife in his right hand, and then he began to seriously examine the jade material in his hand.The faintly revealed green areas are not very uniform, most of the parts are colorless jadeite, but as far as the whole piece of material is concerned, it is more suitable for carving into a Maitreya Buddha, because, in the middle of the emerald Some of them protrude slightly, just like the belly of Maitreya Buddha.

Looking at such a piece of jade material, Xu Zhiguo also agreed with Jia Sidao's judgment, and said: "Boss, it is not so easy to carve this piece of jadeite into other shapes, and it is not very easy to guarantee the maximum The best use of emerald raw materials." In the eyes of a master sculptor like Xu Zhiguo, even a small piece of jadeite material is a gift from nature, and it needs to be used as much as possible in jadeite ornaments instead of being thrown away casually!Undoubtedly, they all had the experience of "digging" bits and pieces of emerald from the scraps when they were just learning and practicing!

"Then carve it into a Maitreya Buddha." Jia Sidao nodded, but then said, "Well, Xiao Xu, why don't you find a ready-made Maitreya Buddha first and let me refer to it. Otherwise , I’m not good at cutting.” This can be regarded as the gap between a beginner like Jia Sidao and a veteran like Xu Zhiguo. Xu Zhiguo was delighted when he heard the words, with a faint smile on his lips, he took out a jadeite pendant from his pocket, which was in the shape of Maitreya Buddha.Jia Sidao raised his eyes and looked over, there were still a few unrepaired marks left on it, and he couldn't help muttering: "Isn't this what you just carved?"

"That's natural." Xu Zhiguo replied: "Otherwise, do you think there are ready-made jade pendants in this factory for your reference at such an early morning?" Thinking of Uncle Zhou Fugui, who sent all the carved jade works to "Zhou Ji" every day, Jia Sidao felt relieved, and then looked at the jade pendants carved by Xu Zhiguo, among which Maitreya Buddha On the face, the expression is the most obvious, cheerful, one can tell that it is a kind and friendly smiling face.As for its more obvious features, Maitreya Buddha's stomach is outlined with only a few strokes. "By the way, boss, I want to remind you. Although the Maitreya shape I carved is also a Maitreya Buddha, it is still different from the shape of the emerald material in your hand." Xu Zhiguo pointed He clicked and said, "It's like the lower part of the legs and feet. On my side, because the material is relatively narrow and long, I put a lot of thought into carving the lower part of the body. But, your material, relatively speaking It’s a little short, so the shape of the legs, the coiled shape, is not the same as the one in front of you.” Later, Xu Zhiguo also told Jia Sidao some other precautions, and Jia Sidao started his own sculpture. Fortunately, the supernatural perception of Jia Sidao's left hand is silent, and it is completely reflected in Jia Sidao's mind. As long as the movements of the hand follow the scene in his mind, even Xu Zhiguo Standing beside Jia Sidao, he would not notice anything unusual. Especially Jia Sidao's concentrated demeanor was originally the most suspicious place.However, which jade carving worker is half-hearted when working?Xu Zhiguo glanced at Jia Sidao's expression, at most, he could only think that Jia Sidao was staring at the sculpture in his hand. However, Jia Sidao did not sculpt a few times, but Xu Zhiguo's heart was full of turbulent waves. First, Jia Sidao's carving techniques are indeed very common, exactly what Xu Zhiguo told Jia Sidao in the past two days, and even the movements Jia Sidao is doing now, compared with the carving yesterday afternoon, There isn't much of a difference either.No matter in terms of the weight of turning, or the speed of speed, Jia Sidao's right hand, while being cautious, the technique of holding the knife has never deviated from the scope of Xu Zhiguo's knowledge. Second, the shape of the Maitreya Buddha carved by Jia Sidao is also completely carved according to the prototype provided by Xu Zhiguo, with only a few minor changes in the places Xu Zhiguo reminded in advance.Of course, for these changes, Jia Sidao did not do well.At least, the smiles on Maitreya Buddha's face, in Xu Zhiguo's view, the expressions carved by Jia Sidao seemed a bit false. Of course, this is entirely caused by Jia Sidao's beginner jade carving.You can't expect that Jia Sidao will be able to graduate smoothly just after carving three or five pieces of jade ornaments? However, Xu Zhiguo also paid attention to the details.That is when Jia Sidao was carving. During the whole process, the knife in his right hand never left the jade material. In this way, Xu Zhiguo somewhat understood the effect of the jade pendant carved by Jia Sidao. , Why does it seem that the craftsmanship is a bit rusty, but the lines are somewhat coherent and natural. Even in terms of knife technique, it feels extraordinarily unique. Subconsciously, Xu Zhiguo picked a piece of jadeite material from the side, imitated Jia Sidao's appearance, imitated Jia Sidao's technique, and began to carve it.However, Xu Zhiguo frowned after not spending three or two knives.Afterwards, he even compared the partial effect he carved with the jadeite pendant in Jia Sidao's hand. Could it be that the craftsmanship of a master is not as good as that of a novice apprentice? Xu Zhiguo was secretly surprised in his heart, and he paid more attention to the movements of Jia Sidao's hands.However, apart from the simple carving techniques, Xu Zhiguo is really hard to see, there is something else in it that he has not seen. I want to ask Jia Sidao. Seeing that the other party is working hard on the sculpture, it feels very coherent. Xu Zhiguo put the words in his throat several times, and in the end, he did not disturb Jia Sidao's sculpture. As for Jia Sidao, because it is the first time to show his carving techniques in front of people, and he is using his own supernatural perception, he will naturally not be as unsuspecting as he was in the basement of the villa last night. .At the beginning, I was sculpting, and then I stopped, let myself get out of the environment of supernatural perception, and paid attention to Xu Zhiguo's movement, and after seeing that there was no serious problem, I continued to carry out my own work. engraving. Such intermittent, hand movements are not slow. Just when Xu Zhiguo looked depressed, looked at Jia Sidao's carvings, shook his head, and sighed, Jia Sidao's right hand carving knife had been changed one after another, and then suddenly stopped When he got down, he looked at Xu Zhiguo meaningfully, and said, "Xiao Xu, by now, it should be almost the same?" "Yeah, it's almost there." Xu Zhiguo nodded and said, "But, I learned your carving here, why is there such a big gap?" He said, shaking the jade material in his hand. Jia Sidao looked at him slightly, and couldn't help laughing. With a "puchi", he laughed.
