Craftsman: I continue to learn for the sake of the saints

Chapter 24 Gold Has a Price
The awards ceremony will begin soon.

Leadership speeches, expert reviews, works appreciation, award acceptance speeches, theme ideas, value sublimation...

Tossing and turning is that little thing.

Qin Luoduan was sitting upright, playing with his mobile phone a little bored.

The phone suddenly vibrated.

Seeing that it was his own Douyin shop, he had a new order, so he couldn't help but smile.

Chat with customers about customization needs.

After adding WeChat.

The customer's name is "Qian Duoduo", and this is his TikTok nickname, as well as his WeChat nickname. Qin Luo secretly clicked his tongue when he saw it.

incredible.

A cursory glance at the circle of friends, there is no one.

It's not shielding, it's not at all.

Gee.

Maybe...a big guy?
"Mr. Qin, hello, I've been watching your live broadcast for a while, I wonder if you are familiar with Yabai?"

Qian Duoduo sent a message.

Thuja?

Qin Luo was taken aback, took a deep breath, and replied: "Gold has a price, but cypress is priceless."

It turned out to be... Cliff cypress?
Thuja grows between cliffs and cliffs, and most of them are distorted and changeable.

However, after being baptized by nature, the wood is not only hard, but also very fine, rich in texture, and has a unique rich cypress fragrance.

It's a very, very high-end wood.

One of the ceilings in the world of woodcarving.

Even the thuja wood carvings with modern craftsmanship are enough to be collected.

"JPG."

Qian Duoduo sent another message, it was a picture.

On the picture, there is a statue of Ya Bogen, marked with the size, 83 cm high, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, 46 cm at the narrow part, and 61 cm at the wide part. There are figures on the top, a statue of Guan Gong holding a knife, and an old-fashioned platform on the bottom. There is a traditional Chinese character "义" written on it, and the background is a picture of a coiling dragon, a giant winding dragon, mighty and mighty.

The shape is very good, the various decorations and details on it are also extremely exquisite, it is a very good work.

Thuja is actually famous for its root carvings.

Three points of labor, seven points of nature.

With Qin Luo's eyesight, it is natural to see that this thing is originally a big root, which was carved into this shape by a skilled craftsman.

Moreover, it seems that the skill is superb, definitely not worse than his own knife skills.

Of course, Qin Luo is still confident.

This thing, if you carve it yourself, you can carve it out, it won't be worse than the original version, it should be even better... at least three points.

It's just that he doesn't understand now, you've finished carving, why are you looking for me?
"JPG."

Qian Duoduo sent another photo.

Qin Luo glanced at it, and for a moment, he suddenly exploded.

"My grass" almost didn't yell out.

This second photo is the "incomplete" version of the first one - the statue of Guan Gong was destroyed, the big knife was broken by something, the face was scratched in a mess, and the heart seemed to be drilled with an electric drill. , already see through the light, the wooden platform under the feet, the word "righteousness" on it is also scratched in a mess.

The dragon's head that was originally entrenched in the back and existed in relief form was also cut off.

This……

hiss……

Really cruel.

Who did this kind of "burning the piano and boiling the crane"?

Qin Luo's flesh hurts just looking at it.

I'm so worth it.

Qian Duoduo: "Mr. Qin, my prodigal daughter-in-law got divorced and destroyed my Yabai Guangong statue that has been passed down for three generations. The knife scratched many places, and my heart was drilled by an electric drill. I have already divorced her, and now I want to marry her." Restoring this statue, do you think there is hope?"

"It's really strange, since this statue was destroyed, I have lost several big orders in a row."

"I also asked several master sculptors, but they were afraid to answer."

"Mr. Qin, I think you are very good. Do you have any ideas?"

He sent messages one by one.

Qin Luo watched, frowning slightly.

build?
How to fix this?
Scratches are easy to say, but the point is, the heart has been dug out!

The dragon's head was also chopped off!

The big knife is also broken!
This kind of job is really too difficult, no wonder no one dares to take it.

There is no one left for such a daughter-in-law at the booth.

After thinking about it, Qin Luo wanted to refuse.

While typing, Qian Duoduo sent another message: "That... I know it's difficult, but this item is really important to me, and even to my family. Master Qin, the price is easy to negotiate. Within 50 , I can accept it."

"As long as it can be repaired."

Qin Luo: ...

Hastily deleted the typed text.

Hahaha……

Say it earlier.

This price is really undeniable.

"let me consider it."

"It may take a little time. I'll think about it and design it."

"Do you accept other materials for repair? Like...gold?"

Qin Luo replied immediately.

50 million!

A lot of money.

Sure enough, it is worthy of "a lot of money".

After the message was sent, Qin Luo waited anxiously for a reply.

After about two or three minutes, Qian Duoduo replied: "It's better not to, is there any other design plan?"

"I can accept a smaller size, but Guan Erye, big knife, dragon, dragon head, and the meaning character below must have it."

If it could be "sewn" with gold, the difficulty would be much less, and he wouldn't have to go through such a lot of trouble.

The point is not to do that.

Qin Luo: ...

His brows frowned slightly again.

It's really... troublesome.

However, it is precisely because of this that it can be worth 50.

It's all craft money.

Qin Luo was thinking.

Qian Duoduo sent another message: "Currently, among the four major schools of woodcarving in China, only Chaozhou woodcarving has a special liking for splendor and splendor. I like to paint the wood with gold. However, I personally don't like that golden style. I still want to keep the original flavor of the wood."

"Also, I don't like to add other things, that will make its texture suffer."

"So, I still hope to renovate it on the basis of the existing design through the design plan."

Qin Luo: "Understood, I'll think about it again. I'll give you an answer tonight."

Qian Duoduo: "Okay, 3000 yuan is considered a deposit. If there is no plan, then forget it. I will support Teacher Qin's live broadcast."

End the chat.

He is still very energetic.

There is no meaning of whoring design drawings in vain.

Designers love such clients the most.

Although there are many demands, it is not the case that there is no money.

What's more, the price offered by others is really irresistible.

……

on the rostrum.

The leader is still talking.

Qin Luo looked at these two pictures repeatedly, subconsciously picked up the pen, and began to sketch on the paper.

In fact, everything else is easy to handle.

Mainly that piece, the "heart" that was dug out.

Madam Qian, oh no, the former Madam Qian is really courageous enough, this is Master Guan!

No awe at all?

Perhaps, the hatred is too deep.

Qin Luo thought gossip, sighed, and continued to sketch, racking his brains.

Do cutouts in portraits?
If it is a statue of another historical figure, maybe it will be fine.

But this is Guan Gong, which has extraordinary significance.

If you are a "bigan", then it is really suitable.

This idea was rejected.

In fact, if you can use the "gold sheet" to make him something similar to a "heart guard", that's fine. It's a good idea.

But Party A is unwilling.

Until the end of the award ceremony, Qin Luo was still thinking about this matter, and a lot of inspiration came to his mind, but there was nothing to use for the time being.

Have to think again.

The 50 design and manual costs are half of the reason.

For the other half, Qin Luo felt that this challenge was very interesting and extremely tested his skills.
