veteran legend

"Looking for me?" Chu Yan was a little surprised, because he was [-]% sure that he didn't know the person in front of him, neither before nor now.

"You are the sculptor here, and your sign says you can sculpt everything?" The visitor looked at Chu Yan, with a smiling face, plain facial features, a black suit, standing straight, with his hands crossed. In the abdomen, the left foot moved slightly to the left while speaking.

"Yes, as long as you have the materials, as long as you can afford to pay." Chu Yan looked at the man in front of him. He was about 1.8 meters tall, with long hair draped over his shoulders. Spreading out, the left foot is slightly behind the right foot. Although the whole person looks calm, there is a faint momentum that is about to explode.

The man looked at Chu Yan for a while, finally nodded, reached into his arms with his right hand and took out a bronze-colored narrow stone, held it up in front of Chu Yan's eyes, and then slowly placed it on the sculpture stand, "This is a Burmese stone." I need you to carve it into a dagger, the blueprint is here, remember, it must be exactly the same! Now, you ask for the price. "

Chu Yan picked up the dark yellow long and narrow stone, and with a flick of his wrist, a long and narrow diamond-shaped knife floated on his fingertips, then lightly scratched the stone, then put the stone down, and opened the door of the visitor. The blueprint handed over "is this?"

When Chu Yan saw the dagger structure diagram on the blueprint, he frowned slightly, then raised his head to look at this person, and asked a faint question.

"That's right, that's it. This is the deposit. Within 45 days, after the completion of the work, pay another two thousand. Make this call, remember, it must be exactly the same!" The man nodded slightly to Chu Yan after speaking, his body showing a 75-degree sideways Bowing slightly, his sharp eyes never left Chu Yan's hands.

A thick stack of cash had already been thrown onto the sculpture stand. The man's left leg twisted slightly without a trace, and then he took a step towards the door. In an instant, the left hand was slowly lowered, but the right hand was still there!

"It's interesting." Chu Yan looked at the disappearing figure with a playful smile on his face. At the same time, his eyes searched carefully where the man had stood, until... he found a gadget.

Chu Yan squatted down and slowly picked up a piece of light black hair from the ground. That hair made Chu Yan's eyes gradually become sharper.

"A wig?" Throwing the light black hair into the trash can casually, Chu Yan became slightly interested in this somewhat mysterious guy.

"Brother Chu, what does this naughty man want to carve?" Hearing that he wanted to carve something, Su Yinan, the future master carver, naturally became interested immediately.

"A piece of broken stone, carved a dagger, by the way, did this man leave any information before?" Chu Yan picked up the stone and shook it in front of Su Yinan, and at the same time asked about the man's information.

"No, I only left a phone number, not even a name." Su Yinan reached out and took the green stone, put it in his hand and looked at it, and finally frowned slightly. Picked up a small hammer in the tool bag, and then lightly hit the corner of the stone a few times.

"Brother Chu, the hardness of this stone is very high. Although the density is moderate but uneven, it is very difficult to carve. The 3000 yuan deposit is really cheap for him." Su Yinan put the stone down after simply testing the hardness. , glanced at the cash and then reported a sum, which made Chu Yan understand Su Yinan one more thing.

After Fan Xianghan finished counting the stack of cash, there were exactly thirty pieces, no more, no less. This ability is not ordinary powerful.

"Su Yinan, how did you do it? It's amazing!!" Wang Lan was also shocked by Su Yinan's skill, and Chu Yan also discovered that this Su Yinan seemed to have another kind. . .How should I put it, it is a kind of talent like a little money fan, because when Su Yinan was looking at the stack of cash, the light in his eyes was definitely the look that the little fox would flash when he saw an old hen.

"Natural." Su Yinan didn't give any profound explanation, while Chu Yan shook his head with a smile, picked up the blueprint, walked up to the second floor and came to the workbench to observe quietly. The drawing is made by CAD, and the data is marked very accurately. Each side has detailed data marking. The whole stone needs to be integrated into a knife to be absolutely consistent with the drawing.

The knife is ten centimeters long, the blade is six and a half centimeters long, the handle is three centimeters, and the guard is [-] centimeters. This is a small dagger with a simple shape.

It took an entire hour for Chu Yan to memorize all the data on this blueprint in his mind, and at the same time, he had already started the whole process of carving in his heart.

The length of the knife is ten centimeters, the length of the stone is about twelve centimeters, there is a space of two centimeters at the front and back for grinding, the width of the knife is two and a half centimeters, extending outward from the guard, presenting a fish maw-like arc to the tip of the knife, the stone is in the shape of a long cone, There is less than a centimeter of space at the widest point of the dagger blade to carve, and there is no problem with the thickness.

Wanting to get the dagger done, Chu Yan formulated the simplest plan in his mind, that is to polish it first, then carve it, then polish it carefully, and finally handle it finely.

Due to the high hardness of the stone, to ensure that there are no cracks in the stone, the shape of the stone must first be polished with a water mill, and then the surface of the stone is covered with a special h2o9-s softening liquid to soften the stone, and then the actual carving can be done. It is best to use the specially made h2o9-s softening liquid to prevent the stone from softening too much, resulting in the wrong size of the dagger.

The density of the stone is moderate, suitable for carving, but some parts are uneven, that is to say, some parts are very dense, and some parts are very loose, which adds some difficulty to carving. Although there are soft and hard, it must be To ensure that the dagger is exactly the same as the drawing, Chu Yan thought it over and decided that it would be better to do it himself.

Look at the time, it is almost noon, before starting to carve, Chu Yan needs to feed his stomach first, and Chu Yan has a habit, that is, once he starts a job, he will finish it in one go, no matter how much time it takes, there is never any time in between. There will be no delay. In his own words, the passion must be enjoyed from the beginning to the end. No one can accept such things as getting up and drinking tea in the middle of the sex, and then going back to do such things.

However, when Chu Yan woke up from this sudden working state, he realized that he seemed to be possessed all of a sudden. This may be the result of him thinking about what he was going to build all morning. derivative effect.

"Brother Chu, there are some things I don't quite understand." Su Yinan followed Chu Yan to the second floor. She had been observing the man's every move from the moment he appeared to the moment he left. money time.

"Do you want to ask me why the customer has to set a deadline of 45 days to pick up the dagger?" To be honest, Chu Yan didn't know, because according to Chu Yan's speed, the dagger would be sold out within three days at most. It could be completed, but the client gave an extremely long deadline, and left without giving Chu Yan any chance to ask questions.

"Yes, logically speaking, although this dagger is a bit difficult, it will definitely not take that much time. If you leave it to me, it can be completed in a week at most." Su Yinan nodded, she is a very smart woman. Girls, especially in terms of sculpting talent, must not be underestimated.

"I don't know, but I haven't carved stones for a long time. Fortunately, I have prepared all kinds of materials here, especially there are several types of softeners. I thought I wouldn't use them so early. I didn't expect It’s really the benefit of taking precautions.” Chu Yan shrugged with a smile. In fact, softeners are not used much in forging, but Chu Yan’s store is not a shop specializing in carving art. There is also a very important business scope that is the customization of sculptures, so softeners are absolutely indispensable.

"It took a month and a half to pick up a stone dagger, what a strange guest." Muttering softly, Su Yinan turned around and focused her attention on the drawing of the dagger.
