Chapter 240 Three Masters of the Beijing School

Xiao Wang introduced to the two: "Our hotel is also considered as the co-organizer of this year's Tiangong Awards, and there is a billboard over there."

At a glance, Li Junge saw that the names on the billboards were all scary. The organizer was the China Jewelry and Jade Jewelry Industry Association, referred to as the Zhongbao Association, and the organizer was the Jade Branch of the China Jewelry Association.

The co-organizers below are also great, and the areas include Guangzhou, Fujian, XJ, Anshan, Fuxin, Zhenping, Suzhou, Tai'an, Longling, Ruili, ALS, Sihui, Jieyang...

Either it is a famous jade producing area or it is a place where big schools of jade carving are concentrated.

The bottom two co-organizers, one is Hongsheng Auction Company, and the other is Yu Zainan's Jingnan Hotel.

Li Junge only glanced at it and said, "Huh? Why isn't there Shuzhou?"

The old man Bai was clear about this matter, and said: "The jade carving in Shuzhou is not yet popular. Look at these co-organizers. They are all places where major schools are located. The level is high and the competition is fierce. A studio can crush other places and a province. So it has to go through the primary election."

"For example, Mingong, their primary selection is called the Shenyi Cup, and the works that can be shortlisted with the Shenyi Cup are already worth a lot of money."

"Su Gong is even more amazing. It is well-known all over the world. Their primary selection is called Zigang Cup. The works that are sent for selection every year are the big hits for the Tiangong Award."

"Shuzhou is not without jade materials. The jasper in Yucheng Yazhou is still famous, but the sculpture can only be registered as a free work. The so-called free work is to unify places other than these major genres as a regional classification. , these works want to break out of the siege of those innate masters in the major co-organizers... Forget it, you can go and have a look when the exhibition hall is arranged." After finishing speaking, he shook his head involuntarily.

Xiao Wang handed over the room card to Li Junge and the old man Bai, told them to wash up, and then came to pick them up at 05:30 to the restaurant, and Mr. Yu arranged a banquet for the two of them.

The two of them took a rest and came downstairs. Xiao Wang led them to a large banquet hall on the podium.

Yu Zainan laughed as soon as he saw the two of them: "Hahaha, the master is here. I didn't expect that Master Li would be very skilled this year, so he just created a set of works to participate in the competition. Come, come, let me introduce you two."

After finishing speaking, he led the two of them to an old man with a gray beard and said, "Come on, let me introduce you. This is Li Kunwu, a jade carving master of the Peking School. These two are from my hometown. This is Lao Bai from Jiachuan Lanxie. Bai Shengding, this kid is Li Junge, you can always call him Piwa, and this kid discovered the Qingmin stone you got to work on this time."

Li Junge reached out his hands to shake hands with old man Li: "The old man's family has a long history, it's amazing!"

Li Kunwu was taken aback: "Little friend, do you know me?"

Li Junge smiled and said: "The "Shan Hai Jing" records that there is a mountain of Kunwu two hundred miles west of Yishui, and there are many red copper on it. The color is as red as fire, and you use it as a blade, and cutting jade is like cutting mud. You are a jade carving, old man. Master, this name should be the expectation of the elders in your family, so I guess you are always from a jade carving family."

Li Kunwu laughed loudly, and said to Yu Zainan: "You Jiachuan County produces talents! This matter was not uncommon 60 years ago, but there are not many children who can tell the truth now! Piwa, right? good!"

A few people were sitting at the coffee table. Seeing that it was Kung Fu tea, Li Junge ordered it for everyone. Li Kunwu was even more surprised. He looked like a country boy in Li Junge's clothes, and he knew how to do this?
Li Junge knew what Li Kunwu was thinking, and said, "I have an orchid farm in the village. The technical consultant of the orchid farm has stayed in the south. I also learned this from him, but tea tasting is not enough."

Li Kunwu laughed again, and said: "Actually, I don't know how, but the people who come and go are all experts, just like you, they are also smoked out."

Yu Zainan feigned anger and said, "Hey, hey, Mr. Li, what do you mean by being smoked?"

Li Kunwu laughed and said: "Then add a word, edification, and edification can be done?" After speaking, he winked at Li Junge, and said in a low voice: "Actually, it's not the same thing!"

Li Junge laughed out loud, he likes this old man so much, this is the pure human nature, the character of an old child.

Li Kunwu turned out a red sandalwood box and said, "Inside is your Qingming stone. By the way, you haven't seen the skin baby you signed up for? If you can guess what's inside, I'll give you another shot." Once, I will carve a work for you for free!"

Yu Zainan turned pale with shock: "Old Li, don't make fun of this!"

Just kidding about the work of master Beigong, the price is calculated according to the weight of the finished product, starting from [-] grams.

This is also the reason why most of the masterpieces are Hetian jade and jadeite. The merchants are more refined than the monkeys. If other materials are used, the cost of the material will be a hat away from the wages.

Li Kunwu waved his hands and said with a smile: "It's all right, it's all right, let's have fun with the kids today!"

To refuse again would be to lose face, so Li Junge had no choice but to put his finger on the nanmu box, raised his head and said, "Old Li, then I will dare to guess."

Li Kunwu looked at Li Junge jokingly, and said with a smile: "Yeah, Xiao Ben, guess what you guess!"

Li Junge smiled and said, "Here is the Sanfang inkstone?"

Now it was Li Kunwu's turn to be shocked: "Have you read the registration form beforehand?!"

Li Junge shook his head and said: "No, no, it's just that we also have a stonemason in Lijiagou. According to him, this is the top inkstone. I thought that if a beautiful stone is in the hands of a good worker, the judgment should be the same, so I dared to guess that it is an inkstone. gone."

Li Kunwu was even more surprised: "Wait a minute, little brother, how long do you think it took the mason to deduce the nature of this stone?"

No matter what this seniority is called, Yu Zainan and the old man Bai couldn't help but put their hands on their foreheads with black lines on their faces.

Li Junge said: "I don't know about the old one, but the young one rubbed it first, and then covered it with his hands. It took about a few minutes, but at the beginning he said that he would give me a wash, and I was cut by the old one. It was changed to an inkstone, by the way, the name of this Qingming stone was also decided by this little one."

Li Kunwu was at a loss: "No way? How big is the small one you mentioned?"

Li Junge said: "Uncle Shitou is fifty years away, little Shitou, he should be a year or two younger than me."

Li Kunwu leaned on the sofa all of a sudden, took a long breath and said, "Pi Wa, open the box yourself."

Li Junge opened the red sandalwood box, and there was indeed a Sanfang inkstone inside.

Li Kunwu said: "The master is among the people. If it is true what you said, just rely on the skill of breaking stones. This pair of young and old is enough to establish a sect!"

Li Junge quickly said: "That is, they are already the third intangible heritage inheritors from our Lijiagou. The family is an ancestral craftsmanship. By the way, I brought their works this time..."

Li Kunwu directly interrupted: "Hey! Then I still listen to what you plan! Hurry up and bring the things here, and listen to you, it's better to measure the work quickly!"

Secretary Xiao Wang hurried over and said, "I'll go and I'll go, don't delay your chat."

Yu Zainan waved him to go, and then he and the white old man Li Junge held an inkstone to watch.

The inkstones in the hands of the three are all themed on a clear pond, and each has its own focus according to the distribution of stone eyes and golden threads.

In Yu Zainan's hands, there was a branch of withered lotus and a croaking frog.

In Li Junge's hands are a clump of cattail grass and a teal.

In Bai Lao's hands are some duckweed and some small white fish.

All are traditional themes.

Li Junge and the old man Bai praised each other with their tongues. The master made a perfect combination of stone and subject matter. Beijing Gongjing School is full of atmosphere, and it is the first choice to make this kind of literary play on the desk.

If it is a pendant or ring, then you have to choose the Southern Pai Su Gong.

The two were tossing and praising, Yu Zainan suddenly thought of a question: "Mr. Li, this Tiangong Award requires innovation. Yours is all about traditional themes. Where is the innovation?"

With a thought, Li Junge placed the inkstone in his hand on the table, took the one from the old man Bai, and put it next to his inkstone.

Now Yu Zainan also understood, and he also put up the one in his hand.

The three inkstones are seamless, and a small pond appears on the tea table. Part of the edge of each inkstone has become the microwave in the pond.

The breeze blows, the water lines are wrinkled, the teals are combing their feathers freely, the frogs are singing happily on the opposite lotus leaf, and a few leaves of duckweed are pushed by the breeze and float over quietly. The whole picture seems to be alive. Peaceful and peaceful, wonderful and natural.

"Absolutely!" "Wonderful!" "Great!" Three exclamations blurted out from the three mouths.

Li Kunwu smiled like a child, and gave Li Junge a thumbs up: "Hey hey, Piwa is really a wonderful person, I "meet you by chance", and you were the first to see the way! Now I trust you even more, the stonemason in Lijiagou It's not normal anymore."

Li Junge remembered something, and said to Li Kunwu: "Mr. Li, I'm watching the Tiangong Awards downstairs. In addition to gold, silver and bronze, there is also an independent theme creative design award. This year's theme is fate. The three parties If the name of the inkstone is changed, can it also be combined with the theme?"

Li Kunwu said in surprise: "Is there such a thing? I didn't even plan to participate in the creative design competition. It's really far-fetched to choose a topic."

Li Junge said: "It's not farfetched. You see, we were strangers to each other before, just like this Puhe Pingshui, we got together as we met, and this is how we got the three-party inkstone, and the three-party inkstone was combined into one work. I am bold." Tell me, why don't we change the name to 'For No Reason', wouldn't that be a deduction?"

The eyes of all three lit up, and Li Kunwu said: "We met by chance, for no reason. We met by chance for no reason! Hahahaha, it's wonderful! No matter how male, is it too late to change your name to participate in the competition?"

Yu Zainan was also happy, and said: "I'll call immediately to ask, at least it's a co-organizer, so I have to give me some face, and there should be time."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and ran out to make a phone call, and came back after a while, excitedly saying: "Old Li, are you really changing?"

Li Kunwu waved his hand: "Change! It must be changed!"

Yu Zainan hurriedly shouted to the other end of the phone: "Did you hear that? Mr. Li has spoken! What? It's only a few dollars to print, so hurry up and reprint it for me, and work overtime tonight to re-arrange! Just give the bill to Xiao Wang! Well, Yuan No reason! By the way, we also need to apply for the theme creative design award! That's it!"
