Jianbao life

Chapter 435 Master Jade Carving
When Zhao Xueyi and Lao Wu walked into the room, they happened to see Chu Chen with a bitter face, and felt a little strange. It wasn't until Zhou Wenping explained with a smile that they understood what was going on.

Zhao Xueyi clasped his fists with a smile and said, "Old Wu, congratulations! It looks like I'm about to hug my nephew!" Hearing such a happy event, the gloom in his heart faded a lot.

Uncle Wu laughed loudly and said, "Thank you for your kind words, but this matter still depends on Xiao Chen and the others."

Having said that, Uncle Wu turned his head to Chu Chen and said with a smile, "You all need to be angry then!"

"..."

Hearing this, Chu Chen was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say. Seeing Chu Chen's expression, the others all burst into laughter.

After a while, Uncle Wu asked Zhao Xueyi: "How is it? Did the stall owner say anything?"

Zhao Xueyi shook his head sadly and said: "He said that this thing was recovered from a garbage recycling station, and he doesn't know who the original owner is!"

Uncle Wu frowned and said, "Then it's not easy to handle! But if you are destined to meet from thousands of miles away, if you are really destined, you will definitely find out the home address of your elder in the future."

Zhao Xueyi shook his head and sighed: "Forget it, what I want to see most is my elder, but now it seems that [-]% of them have passed away, so let it go!"

Then, he said to Chu Chen: "Xiao Chen, I want to ask you something. If you want to transfer this bronze mirror, can you transfer it to me?"

Chu Chen solemnly agreed: "Okay, I promise you!"

Zhao Xueyi clasped his fists in gratitude and said, "Thank you! Thank you!..."

After a while, Lao Wu said: "I brought the potion for cleaning the red paint, but this potion is a bit thick, and it needs to be diluted at least fifty times before it can be used." Then, he took a glass from the plastic bag in his hand. bottle and put it on the table.

Chu Chen nodded and said, "Okay, I will remember."

Although cleaning is not difficult, it is very cumbersome, and in order to avoid damage to the bronze mirror during cleaning, it must be cleaned bit by bit carefully. Therefore, Chu Chen planned to clean it after returning home, so Put away the bottle of medicine.

Afterwards, everyone chatted for a while, and when it was almost time, Chu Chen bit the bullet and drove to Uncle Wu's house with Uncle Wu.

…………

In the evening, Chu Chen returned to Yuhuating with some exhaustion physically and mentally. There was no way he could bear Aunt Wu's interrogation. It's more tiring than him relieving stones all day long.

After drinking a cup of tea and saying hello to Hu Yong and the others, Chu Chen came to the workshop, then took out the bronze mirror and potion from his pocket, and was about to start cleaning the red paint.

Because there are dragons with wrong gold and silver on the back of the mirror, if the potion is not well prepared, the gold, silver and even the pattern may be washed off, so Chu Chen first prepared a certain proportion of potion, and there is red paint on the front of the mirror. Scrub and try the place where he needs to be, until the potion with the best effect and the most reassuring and satisfying solution is formulated.

The potion that was finally prepared was very weak. It is estimated that with such a potion, it would take several times to clean the red paint in one place.

But for Chu Chen, time is not a problem. The key is to clean the bronze mirror in good condition to complete his goal. Even if there is a little loss, he needs to do his best to avoid it.

Chu Chen dipped in the liquid medicine and scrubbed gently, little by little, until suddenly a part glowing with gold and silver light was exposed in front of his eyes and stopped.

Chu Chen took a closer look and found that it was the place where the crossed vortex bands were on the edge of the bronze mirror. The gold and silver threads embedded on it were as thin as hair.

Jinyincuo is a craft of making gold and silver threads or sheets into various patterns and embedding them in bronze as decoration. It first appeared in the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period and was quite popular in the middle of the Warring States Period.

Seeing such exquisite decorations, Chu Chen was already imagining how exquisite this bronze mirror would be when all the red paint was washed off.

The red paint on the mirror is estimated to take several days to clean, and because the original leather shell of the bronze mirror may be washed away, it is impossible for Chu Chen to clean the red paint with water. Soak it in white vinegar prepared by adding water for a period of time, and then it can be completely cleaned.

Therefore, it is obviously impossible to clean the bronze mirror in a short time, and Chu Chen has no intention of eating into a fat man. Seeing that the time is almost up, he puts down his work and puts the bronze mirror in the studio. Inside the small safe, went back to the room to sleep. ...

The next day, Chu Chen sat in Mr. Liu's place for a while, and then drove to the airport to pick up the jade carving master.

The jade carving master introduced by Qiang Zhaojun was named Gu Jianming, and he learned jade carving from his teacher. His talent and hard work made him, who is only 29 years old, very skilled in jade carving, comparable to A master carver.

Gu Jianming's appearance is very ordinary, and the only thing that is still fresh in his memory is his pair of piercing eyes, which people can never forget after seeing him.His wife and three-year-old daughter came to Beijing together this time. He heard from Qiang Zhaojun that they were planning to live in the capital together.

Chu Chen welcomed this very much, and he wished that his family would also move their household registration to the capital immediately, so that Gu Jianming would be less likely to leave his job in the future.

I took Gu Jianming's family to the house arranged for them. This is a four-bedroom apartment with an area of ​​more than 160 square meters.

Originally, Chu Chen planned to let Gu Jianming rest for a day before discussing the work contract, but Gu Jianming insisted on going now, so Chu Chen took him to the shop, while his wife and daughter stayed at home to organize and salute.

The location of the community is not far from Chu Chen's shop, and it only takes about ten minutes to walk there.

When they arrived at the store, Chu Chen first introduced it to everyone, and then took Gu Jianming around the store. Gu Jianming was quite satisfied with the future workplace, and then Chu Chen signed a contract with him. labor contract.

Gu Jianming's salary also uses the model of basic salary plus share. Every time he sells a piece of jade, there is a certain percentage of share based on the profit of the jade. The converted salary is still expensive, and there is also a house. Welfare, it can be said that he is no worse than him in Qiangzhao Army.

In addition, Chu Chen showed Gu Jianming some emerald materials, which made his eyes light up immediately, and he felt that the decision to come to Beijing this time was very wise.

After signing the labor contract, Gu Jianming immediately entered the working state. He looked at Chu Yulan's ice apple green, pondered for a while, and said:

"Boss, our store is newly opened, and we must have some common jadeite styles to fill the scene, so I think it's better to make bracelets first, and then make some jadeite accessories!"

Chu Chen nodded and said: "Master Gu, you have more experience than me in this area, so you can figure it out for yourself. Before using the ice seed material, you just need to report to Manager Zhou. If you need glass seed, you can contact me." I said."

Having said that, there are still rules that should be followed. For example, raw jadeite should be taken out in the morning and must be put back into the safe before returning home from get off work.Moreover, apart from Chu Chen himself, two people must enter the vault together. There are cameras recording this, and Chu Chen is not afraid that they will violate the regulations.

Doing this, Chu Chen didn't think they would guard against themselves, it's just that there are no rules, if there are no rules, then this store will not last long.

As an employee, I definitely hope to gain the trust of the boss. Of course, Gu Jianming is no exception. He said happily: "Thank you boss, I would like to ask, when is our store going to open?"

Chu Chen replied: "Our store officially opened on New Year's Day, so I have to trouble Master Gu to hurry up and make more jade ornaments."

Gu Jianming frowned lightly and said: "The time is a little tight. I alone may not be able to meet the needs of our store. And if it is glass jewelry, it will take more time. Boss, you will never It’s not a pity that there wasn’t even a single piece of glass jewelry on the opening day.”

"You don't have to worry about this." Chu Chen waved his hand and said, "A master I hired from Pingzhou will come over in two days. As for the glass plant, it doesn't matter. I can ask others for support first." , you can just concentrate on carving ice jade now."

"Okay!" Gu Jianming nodded and said, "I would like to ask, I don't know which master you hired, boss?"

"His name is Gu Qifei. I don't know if you recognize Master Gu."

"It turned out to be him. Not only do we know each other, we are also friends!"

Chu Chen was slightly taken aback when he heard the words. He never thought that the two would be friends, but this is undoubtedly better. You must know that many capable people have a bit of arrogance. At first, Chu Chen was worried that the two would not get along, but now It seems that there will be no such worries.

It was noon soon, and Chu Chen set up a table at the "Bazhen Jade Food", which was regarded as a welcome banquet for Gu Jianming's family.

After the meal, Chu Chen asked Gu Jianming to start working officially tomorrow. After the family left, he said to Zhou Wenping and the fifth child:

"I bought a total of four houses in the community where Gu Jianming lives this time. If you want, you can live in them together, so that it will be more convenient for you to go to work."

Zhou Wenping and the fifth child live in the west of the city and the north of the city. It takes more than an hour to go to work every day, which is very inconvenient.Chu Chen didn't think about it before, but he didn't think about it until he bought a house for Gu Jianming.Thinking of the hard work and wasted time for the two of them going back and forth to work every day, he simply bought two more houses.

"This..." Zhou Wenping began to murmur when he heard the words. He was also there when Gu Jianming signed the contract just now, and he knew that the house was considered a benefit...
