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

Chapter 55

"Director Qin, hey, it's me, Old Li from Shili Village, Li Gui..."

"I picked up some good things on the mountain recently. Among them are two stones. They are yellow and look like egg yolks. They are very beautiful. I will send them to you tomorrow..."

During dinner at night, Qin Luo suddenly received a call.

It was the villager I met at the market before, selling strange stones and raw materials for root carvings.

Since that time, he has also given him two gifts one after another, some of which he asked for, and some of which he didn't. After all, he contributed thousands of dollars to him.

After tasting the sweetness, Lao Li became more and more concerned about this.

Stones like egg yolks?

what?
Impossible, is it a rough gold mine?
Qin Luo hesitated for a moment, and agreed to let him take a few photos first.

Photos sent over.

Qin Luo took a look and immediately determined that this is not a gold mine, definitely not.

It should be a naturally occurring strange stone.

It's just that, as for what it is, I have to play with it myself.

It looks pretty good.

Get it if you can.

I happen to be short of a seal recently.

signet.

Three clay figurine links in the live broadcast room have been sold, and the goods have not been delivered yet.

What I made is an orphan product, and it has a sequence, so I must leave a "mark".

In a way...

This belongs to master treatment.

Master's "anti-counterfeiting mark".

There are two most common.

The first type is naturally the seal, signature, and so on.

The second is to leave your own unique mark in the secret place of the work.

Qin Luo plans to do both.

In short, this is also a kind of sense of ceremony, its own brand.

……

Li Gui was very impatient.

Early the next morning, he drove a tractor over.

Qin Luo invited him to have breakfast at home, while he looked at the old roots and strange stones in the cart.

Stay as long as you can.

Then, he played with the two pieces of "egg yolk" he said.

One piece is quite big, about the size of an adult's fist, and it's the kind of person with big hands.

The other piece is the size of an egg.

It was washed very clean, but there were still some stone skins on the surface, so Qin Luo polished it slightly.

The stone inside the stone skin already has a feeling of jade.

The light part of the color is milky yellow, and the thick part is golden yellow, giving people an extremely soft and warm feeling.

Moreover, the texture is extremely uniform, the glutinous yellow is delicate, and the color is bright, but it does not look ostentatious. The effect is heavy and textured.

"What is this?"

"It should be quite expensive, right?"

Sister Cha asked from the side.

Wang Nan, Li Wan'er and the others, as well as the crew's cameras, all followed.

It's just that no one knows.

It was Grandpa who took a look and called out first: "Isn't this the apricot stone? I saw a lot when I was young, and there were quite a lot. Especially after the flood, a lot came out, but it was useless and worthless. "

Then he glared dissatisfiedly at Li Gui who was eating noodles: "You're using these junk again to fool my little Luo, right?"

Li Gui: ...

Embarrassed smile.

Immediately stood up nervously.

"Uncle, how can it be? This one looks much better than those apricot stones we've seen, look at that color!"

"They say it's about the same as Burmese topaz."

"What is topaz, I haven't seen it before, but I guess, it must be worth a few hundred yuan, five hundred, just five hundred, I don't want more!"

He said with a guilty conscience, and he didn't dare to ask too high a price.

Many people have seen the apricot stone, but this one is really good.

"three hundred!"

Grandpa held out three fingers.

Recently, this is a factory again, what is it, spending money like water, the old man feels distressed.

That was all the hard work of the grandson.

Li Gui: ...

"Four hundred, right? Is it possible? Uncle, haha, I gave you both."

Grandpa didn't budge an inch: "It's only three hundred, I picked it up on the mountain, and it's everywhere."

Li Gui gritted his teeth and agreed.

There are three hundred, which is not bad.

I just picked it up when I was shitting on the mountain.

This poop is precious.

At this time.

Qin Luo smiled: "Three hundred is about the same. This stone is not very expensive. Its scientific name is Jinpaoyu, which belongs to the associated mine of Qin Ziyu. It is actually a stone."

"The entire Qinling Mountains produce it, and it is occasionally seen in other places."

"The main reason is that the hardness is soft, and the color is similar to Burmese topaz. The hardness of topaz is between 6-7. This one, 5-6..."

"It's almost like this. You can check it yourself when you go back. Is it for sale? If it is for sale, I will take it. The right is just a joke."

After Qin Luo said so, revealing a sense of professionalism and authority, Li Gui naturally agreed.

After eating the noodles, he unloaded the root carvings and wood selected by Qin Luo, took the money, and left.

……

After he leaves.

"It's really worthless?"

Sister Cha blinked her eyes and asked, a little curious.

Qin Luo still had the indifferent attitude: "I never lie. Stones are worthless, but craftsmanship is valuable."

The price of jade, in fact, mostly comes from hype.

This kind of golden paste jade is beautiful, but it is very rare. When it is made into finished products, the price can almost be doubled dozens of times.

But the stone itself, if you go to the place of origin to collect it, it will only be at this price.

Listening to the few people nearby, they all feel... er, they have learned a lot.

Morning broadcast.

Qin Luo began to prepare to adjust this piece of gold paste jade.

"Recently, I need a seal. I just picked up a stone. It's okay, so let's carve it."

"It's all old business, let's start."

Use a sander to grind all the stone skins on the surface clean, and the color of the whole piece of gold paste jade will be fully revealed.

It does look extremely beautiful.

Someone in the comments section is asking what this is.

Qin Luo casually popularized science, and also explained that this is a special chapter for making his own clay figurines.

Putting it this way, it seems... forcing Gorton to show up.

All clay figurines need a special seal.

The fist-sized piece of gold paste jade is not suitable for use as a seal. What Qin Luo is carving now is the egg-sized piece.

The smallest carving knife moved back and forth on the stone, and light yellow powder fell down.

In all fairness, this kind of soft stone is quite comfortable to carve.

Of course, the disadvantage is that if it is not well preserved, it is prone to reactions.

From stone carving to jade carving, it is quite a threshold.

This kind of "jade in the stone" between the two is just for practicing for myself.

Although the seal is mainly to see the seal script below.

However, Qin Luo carefully designed the shape of the device.

"Carve a negative, one of the nine sons of the dragon, the eighth son, with a body like a dragon, often hovering over the head of the stele."

"This thing means good writing in life. If you go to some places of interest now, you will see the inscriptions and steles of the past, and there will often be dragon shapes on them."

"It often appears with its sixth brother, Ba Xia, who is in the form of a turtle. The eighth brother rides the sixth brother..."

Qin Luo said in a brisk tone, a little cute.

His hands didn't stop at all.

Soon, a gold paste jade negative that looked extraordinarily delicate was carved.

As for the seal script at the bottom...

Qin Luo really thought about it.

"What is the engraved text below? Let me think about it. Normally, the stage name is fine, and you don't need your real name."

"Be more elegant. In fact, I want to use 'keep the clumsy'. Clay figurines are a job of turning clumsiness into cleverness."

"However, I think it's a bit too formal and not youthful enough, so I thought about another one. It's not allowed to be refined. No matter how similar it is, it's not allowed to be refined. It's not allowed after the founding of the People's Republic of China...haha..."

"It seems that this is a bit too playful..."

"Think about it again..."

fan:……

Show!
Suddenly it showed up!
Many people have contributed ideas.

However, Qin Luo did not find a suitable one in the comment area.

Finally, after pondering for a long time, Qin Luo finally finalized three words.

——Earthly.

The text uses relatively concise oracle bone inscriptions.

Quaint and freehand, full of line beauty.

Slightly deeper scoring.

Fans in the live broadcast room: "66666!"

"The anchor really knows how to play!"

"For the first time, I feel that Brother Luo is quite humorous, elegant and playful!"

"Why do you use earthy air instead of grounded air? The main three words are grounded air, which is too vulgar to use. Change it to a word. Well, I feel much fresher immediately, and the grade has improved. Is this wave of reading comprehension Full marks! Hurry up! Praise me!"

"Wonderful! Mud is taken from the earth, forged by skillful hands, and tempered by fire to make a human being, but it still does not lose the spirit of the earth..."

……

next to.

Wang Sen's shooting team faithfully recorded the entire scene.

He has already discovered that Qin Luo really...has a lot of stuff in his stomach.

And, very ingenious.

Yep, another piece of material.

Go back and slowly ponder how to use it.
