Chapter 513 The Artisan's Old Years (ask for a monthly ticket)
In this way, on the second night, Aging continued to make hairpins.

The purpose of this evening is very clear, Chen Nian intends to take out all the inside and make it into a moiré shape.

This moiré vintage did not go online to find hairpins or blueprints that others have already made, but to find an outline from some pictures taken, and then try to make further creations by myself.

He didn't save it until he had a satisfactory shape.

In this way, in the past few days, the Honghong Hotel did not emit oily smoke at night, nor did there be any clanging and collision sounds.

There was only the sound of the jigsaw rubbing against the wood.

But the first time I did it, I was still inexperienced. When Chen Nian was sawing, he accidentally sawed off the hairpin that had been [-]% done in front with too much force.

"Hiss..." Looking at the broken hairpin, Chen Nian felt extremely distressed, but it took him two days to make it, and it was so ruined?

Thinking back, it was probably because I was too forgetful just now, so I didn't apply force evenly.

Looking at the broken hairpin, Chen Nian sighed.

Silently packed up all these things, put them in the box next to it, and then started drawing drawings again and making again.

But after the first pass, the subsequent steps became more smooth. It only took more than ten minutes for Chen Nian to redraw the drawing, and then spent about half an hour to remove the excess leftovers .

It was already the fourth day when he started removing the hollow part again.

Just like this, he has been sawing carefully, his hands, face and clothes are already full of sawn wood chips.

But Chen Nian still didn't dare to show his atmosphere, and he was concentrating on processing the piece of wood in front of him.

It wasn't until around 12:30 at night that Chen Nian completed this step.

"Finally done! Four full nights!"

Chen Nian looked at his hands, and there were obvious strangle marks on them.

Carefully put the semi-finished hairpin into the box, and cleaned up the site without leaving any traces.

He didn't want to be asked where the sawdust came from during the day.

I also don't want to be known that I am doing this now.

This is the most serious thing that Chen Nian has done since he was a child, besides studying and cooking.

On the fifth night, Chen Nian began to carefully polish it with a file. Now the hairpin is only the part of the pattern, and the slender part at the end is very rough, so Chen Nian has to polish off most of the wood. just do.

In order to prevent it from breaking again when polishing, Chen Nian didn't even dare to use too much force, which made the progress very slow. It took more than two hours for Chen Nian to polish the shape of the hairpin.

There are still three days before Hongdou's concert, and four days before Hongdou's birthday.

Chen Nian felt that he had to be more careful in the future, if he made another mistake, all previous efforts would be for naught.

And there wasn't enough time left for him to make a new one from scratch.

"Sure enough, it's not that easy to be a craftsman." Chen Nian sighed. When he was watching those tutorials, he just made a list in a short video of a few minutes. Although some parts were fast forwarded, Chen Nian Nian feels that even if those bloggers don't fast forward, it takes about an hour or two to make such a simple hairpin.

On the night of the fifth day, Chen Nian took out the rough sheet from the box. This time he picked up the electric milling cutter and began to polish it further, rounding the edges of the hairpin to make it more rounded.

But after polishing for a while, he felt that the machine he bought seemed to be a little difficult to use, mainly because the front grinding head seemed a little thick.

No way, Chen Nian had no choice but to give up this grinding head, and then bought a same-day-delivery grinding head online. According to the logistics speed, it should arrive tomorrow afternoon.

But it was still early today, and Chen Nian didn't want to give up, so after trying, he chose a piece of 2000-grit sandpaper and began to polish it finely.

It turned out that the speed of sanding with sandpaper was really too slow.

It took more than half an hour to polish only half of the hairpin body.

But there is no suitable tool right now, Chen Nian can only do this until the early twelve o'clock.

When he was ready to go home, he had only completed half of his goal for the day.

"Oh, the tool misunderstood me!" No way, Chen Nian had to put the follow-up work on the second day

On the sixth day, the new grinding head bought by Chen Nian came back, and I used it at night and found that it was really good!
With the electric tools, the efficiency of the aging has been greatly improved, and he completed this part of the grinding work in just over an hour.

Then all that's left is to sand it down.

It needs to be polished smooth and round, but it still looks matte.

Chen Nian kept changing the sandpaper from coarse to fine, and polished it inch by inch, and watched the surface of the hairpin gradually become smoother.

"Ah, it's finally here!"

Chen Nian wiped the sweat from his brow, six days from a square piece of wood to the current list, he felt as long as the past six centuries.

In the end, only the decoration on the waxed box remained.

So on the evening of the seventh day, Chen Nian once again used the electric tool to plug in the special waxing head to apply the wax evenly on the hairpin bit by bit, and the color of the hairpin began to change visible to the naked eye. Nice deep red.

The texture is extremely delicate, like a bracelet that has been coiled for many years. Under the light, the luster is extremely beautiful.

"There's something!" Chen Nian couldn't help admiring.

He never imagined that one day he would be a carpenter, but now it seems that he is quite talented in this area.

Then he took out a specially customized little flower.

This is a style specially designed by Chen Nian when he was planning to make a hairpin for An Hongdou and found a designer on the Internet.

It's just that silver is used as the material for aging, because silver is not expensive, not because it is picky, but mainly because you don't want to use gold, otherwise, you can buy it for thousands of dollars with gold.

Of course, if there is still a chance in the future, if what I plan to do this time can be accomplished, Chen Nian plans to make another gold one, which can be used as a replacement at that time.

Finally, Chen Nian carefully put the wooden hairpin hung with small silver flowers into the box he had prepared long ago.

But at this moment, he found that the box was bare.

"Looking at it this way, it's a little too monotonous. Back then, when I bought it, I was only focused on choosing materials and colors, and didn't consider decoration." After thinking for a while, Chen Nian planned to add something to the box.

With the previous experience, it is very handy to make vintage now.

Directly wrote a poem on the box with a pen: "Red beans are born in the southern country, and a few branches come in spring."

Although Chen Nian studied science, his handwriting is quite good, and it is not difficult to polish these handwriting.

So Chen Nian cut out these words with an electric milling cutter, and then polished them with sandpaper. It didn't take long for these words to appear on the box.

"Why don't you add some color on it, such as gold powder or cinnabar red?" Chen Nian thought about adding some color, but in the end he still denied it. After all, he is not sure if he will add the color or not. will look good.

Moreover, there is no possibility of fault tolerance in time, and in the end the old age still gave up.

After hiding the small box in an absolutely hidden place, Chen Nian cleaned up the scene, closed the shop and prepared to go home.

On the way, Chen Nian also sent a message to An Hongdou.

"Hongdou, do you have something to do the day after tomorrow? I want to treat you to dinner."

At the same time, An Hongdou is still rehearsing for the music festival to be attended in two days. After all, the style of the song, the interactive form and the equipment must be optimistic in advance.

But she just went up to finish the rehearsal, and now she is resting below, waiting for the people behind to finish the rehearsal, and then go up later.

And at this moment, a guitarist from a folk band saw An Hongdou sitting here alone.

He has also followed An Hongdou for a long time, but he has never had a chance before, and An Hongdou is really not very good at socializing. There are not many friends in the circle, so the other party asked some friends but could not contact An Hongdou.

Of course, if he uses some other methods, he can also contact the other party, but if there is no one in the middle that everyone knows, it may be more embarrassing.

And just a while ago, he suddenly found out that An Hongdou was also going to the music festival he was going to this time, which made him very happy.

He came to the rehearsal today, and he never had the nerve to ask, but his movements of glancing at An Hongdou from time to time were seen by other members of their band.

"What's wrong with Xiaohai? Did you like An Hongdou?"

"No."

"No, then you keep looking over there?"

"I just... oops... I don't have it anyway."

"What are you pretending to be here with us? We are all brothers. We still can't see your flamboyance. I tell you that if you like a girl, you can go after it boldly. Don't ask others to chase it. You The conditions are not bad, and our band is quite well-known, although you look a little ordinary, don't you know that you have a bonus for playing guitar?"

"Then I..." The guitarist of the band called Xiaohai looked at Hongdou again.

"Go, don't let the brothers look down on you! My brother told you, say hello first, and then chat for a while, just say that I quite like your song, I have been following you for a long time, and the other party If you have a good impression, then take advantage of the situation and ask for a WeChat, and if it feels good, you can directly make an appointment for dinner, and the time should not be too late, just the day after the music festival."

Xiao Hai nodded: "Okay, then I'll try."

Then he mustered up the courage to get up and walk towards An Hongdou.

"Hi Hongdou, I'm the guitarist of Black Sea Band."

"Hello, hello." An Hongdou saw someone suddenly came to talk to him, and stood up quickly, "I am An Hongdou, a folk singer."

"Well, actually, I quite like your songs, and I've been following you since a few months ago."

"Thank you, thank you." An Hongdou quickly thanked her, and she was a little apprehensive for a while. She didn't expect that there were colleagues who liked her song, which made her feel very happy.

"Well, why don't we add a WeChat, maybe there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future, and occasionally we can chat about any music issues."

"Okay, then you can scan me." If a colleague adds WeChat An Hongdou, he will naturally not refuse. After all, just like the other party said, there may be some opportunities for cooperation in the future, or if the relationship is good, there are resources. Introduce each other, so it doesn't hurt that everyone gets to know each other.

Seeing how things went so smoothly, Xiao Hai remembered what his teammates taught him just now: "Well, we are also destined to meet this time, or how about we have a meal together after the music festival is over? It can be regarded as an acquaintance."

When An Hongdou heard about the day after tomorrow, she thought to herself, isn't it her birthday?
She still wants to spend her birthday with her friends. Although it is not a big deal to make friends with this guitarist she just met, but at this moment, a figure of a person suddenly appeared in her heart.

It's true, it's almost my birthday, why hasn't there been any news from this guy?

Obviously, my birthday can be found on Baidu.

Why don't you contact yourself?Aren't you afraid that it will be too late for you to have another appointment after two days?
Thinking of this, An Hongdou was a little disappointed.

And Xiaohai looked at An Hongdou's thinking expression and didn't know what the other party was thinking, but he was a little uneasy, but there seemed to be some sadness between the other party's brows.

"What's the matter? Do you have something to do then? It's okay. Anyway, I don't have anything to do recently. If you are free, we can make another appointment for dinner."

An Hongdou raised her head: "Well, I'm fine."

"Then..." Xiao Hai was overjoyed when he heard this, and was about to take it down, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a notification beep from his mobile phone.

Before he finished speaking, An Hongdou lowered his head and flicked his phone, as if he had clicked into WeChat.

As a result, after An Hongdou saw the content in WeChat, his face suddenly showed joy.

I saw An Hongdou raised her head with a bright smile, and said apologetically, "Sorry, I have something to do the day after tomorrow, and someone invited me out for dinner.

Xiao Hai was stunned when he heard this!
I wonder if the other party has a boyfriend?Otherwise, how could there be a smile on your face after seeing that WeChat message?
But even so, he was still a little unwilling. After all, he had never heard of An Hongdou having a boyfriend before, so he asked tentatively: "Well, I originally wanted to have dinner with you the day after tomorrow. But is it your boyfriend who invited you to dinner just now?"

And An Hongdou recalled the news from Chen Nian on the phone just now, and the more he thought about it, the happier he became.

But in the face of the other party's inquiry, An Hongdou just smiled sweetly and tilted his head cutely: "Not yet, he is still just a very important friend of mine..."
