Chapter 467 Jade Carving (Continuation [-])
The first few knives were performed by Chu Chen in order to experience the feeling of carving. Because the strength used is different, it looks the same as normal beginners, and there is nothing conspicuous about it.

But then, Chu Chen experienced the feeling, and combined with the movements Gu Qifei used when carving just observed, although the speed of his cutting the knife did not speed up, but the cutting of the knife was already orderly.

This surprised Gu Jianming and Gu Qifei, because they had never seen someone skillfully use a knife after a few cuts.

But the more surprising thing is still behind. After Chu Chen comprehended the feeling, he basically had a comprehensive understanding of the rough carving in his heart. It depends on the accumulation of experience. As long as he slowly experiments in the future, he can quickly understand other jade qualities.

So next, Chu Chen came directly with a long knife. Just when others thought that Chu Chen had made a mistake again, they were surprised to find that Chu Chen's knife was just in place. For beginners, it was really unbelievable, so that everyone thought it was just Chu Chen's luck, so he succeeded once by mistake.

However, Chu Chen's subsequent actions clearly told them that the knife just now was not due to Chu Chen's good luck, but that Chu Chen had indeed mastered the trick, and not only did he master it, seeing that Chu Chen is now at ease His appearance was like that of a master jade carving master, which made everyone around him dumbfounded in amazement.

Although some time was delayed due to lack of proficiency at the beginning, Chu Chen's speed was almost the same as Gu Qifei's later on. Therefore, when Chu Chen completed the rough carving steps, the time was not much slower than Gu Qifei's.

Just when Chu Chen picked up the fine cutting tool, he saw Gu Qifei who was stunned beside him, which made him feel a little strange. When he turned around, he found that other people had the same expression. He asked a little confused:
"What happened to you?"

Gu Jianming came back to his senses, and said with an unbelievable expression: "I said boss, is it really your first time carving?"

"Then it can be fake. If it's not the first time I've sculpted, I don't need you to introduce me the knowledge of it before!" Chu Chen shrugged his shoulders.

Everyone thinks about it, Chu Chen's first few knives should indeed be made by beginners, and the position where the string bean pendant was first cut, it is obvious that its performance is naive, it is indeed a beginner level.

"This...boss, how did you learn it? I really haven't seen anyone who learns as fast as you!" Looking at the rough pendant on the workbench, Gu Jianming couldn't believe what he thought. This will be a beginner's work.

Chu Chen chuckled and said, "Maybe it has something to do with me being a Lianjiazi, not only having greater strength than ordinary people, but also having good control over my muscles!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard what Chu Chen said. If this jade carving wants to learn well, strength is an element, and the control of muscles is the most important thing. If this aspect is different from ordinary people, it is true to learn jade carving. , is likely to learn a little faster than others.

However, Gu Jianming and Gu Qifei were still surprised that Chu Chen learned so fast, but there are many wonders in the world, and there may be people like Chu Chen who learn so fast in the world.

Moreover, Chu Chen's carving is completely normal, and they can't see anything strange about Chu Chen, let alone think that Chu Chen will be a special person with supernatural powers. Of course, when Chu Chen was learning to carve just now, he didn't No abilities were used.

Next, Chu Chen used a knife to carve the green bean pendant. The final product, except for the naive place where the knife was cut at the beginning, is basically no worse than the one Gu Qifei carved. Seeing this, the others couldn't help but be amazed.

Gu Qifei couldn't believe it and sighed: "Boss, your talent in this area is really amazing. If you can study it for a while, I believe you can become a jade carving master."

Chu Chen smiled and waved his hands and said, "Master Gu, you really appreciate the prize, but what I lack now is time. It is estimated that the time for me to become a jade carving master can only be ranked behind the two."

Everyone laughed when they heard the words, but Chu Chen's words still put a little pressure on Gu Jianming and Gu Qifei. They really didn't want to wait until Chu Chen became a jade carving master, and their jade carving skills were still stagnant.

However, Chu Chen is a geek after all. With the foundation of his performance just now, they will not be surprised even if Chu Chen becomes a jade carving master tomorrow. Therefore, although the two of them are under pressure, it is not too great.

Chu Chen looked at the time and said, "It's getting late, let's talk about the polishing thing tomorrow! I'll invite everyone to rub it tonight..."

…………

In the evening, everyone had a lively dinner, and then they discussed about the store, which made it almost eleven o'clock when Chu Chen returned home.

Originally, he planned to remove a piece of jade to prepare for emergencies, but it was already so late, it was somewhat inappropriate to remove the stone, and he received a call from Cao Hui during dinner at night, and he had to go to the appointment tomorrow , so he took a shower and went to bed.

The time agreed with Cao Hui was 09:30 in the morning, so Chu Chen happened to go to the military hospital to visit Lu Fuquan and his wife.

If Mrs. Lu's leg had undergone surgery at that time, she would not have had to stay in the hospital for such a long time, but because of the delay for such a long time, she was lucky to be able to keep her leg. Now it is estimated that it will take at least half a year to fully recover.

Originally, if Lu Fu’s family had good family conditions and was close to the hospital, they would be able to be discharged by now. However, his family lives in a mountainous area, and the transportation is inconvenient. Not to mention the long recuperation time. misfortune.

Therefore, some time ago when Chu Chen was in the porcelain capital, Lu Fuquan called him and said he wanted to be discharged from the hospital, but he refused.

When I arrived at the hospital today, Lu Fuquan and his wife proposed to Chu Chen the idea of ​​being discharged from the hospital. Of course, Chu Chen also did not agree, and explained the pros and cons to them. I heard that there may be recurrences. Lu Fuquan, who has suffered The couple became a little scared and hesitated.

Seeing this, Chu Chen tried to persuade him again. After thinking about it, the couple had no choice but to give up their thoughts because they were afraid.

Chu Chen reassured Lu Fuquan and his wife and told them not to worry about medical expenses. Then he visited that Miao Yuren and gave him some gifts.

As for Director Miao, although he is a bit of a bully, and Chu Chen doesn't like this kind of person, but this is the way it is in this society, under the weight of profit, it is not uncommon for people to bully the weak and fear the hard, and hate the poor and love the rich. As Mr. Liu told him before, although some people are villains, as long as they are used well, they are still very helpful to themselves and others.

Now Chu Chen has experienced this from Director Miao. Although he is very annoying, he is also dedicated to taking care of Lu Fuquan and his wife. In terms of dealing with each other, Chu Chen is not stingy to give him some rewards.

In addition to gifts, Chu Chen also left a sum of medical expenses. For him, he really couldn't do things that took too much advantage of the public. ...

After coming out of the military hospital, Chu Chen drove to Liulichang. This is a well-known cultural street in the capital, where books, calligraphy and painting, antiques, and the four treasures of the study are gathered. It is also a must-see place for domestic and foreign tourists to visit the capital's culture.

Cao Hui's calligraphy and painting company is located in Liulichang. According to the address on his business card, Chu Chen found an antique-looking shop. When he walked in, he found that the layout here was modeled after a gallery, but it was different from foreign galleries. Yes, there are only Chinese paintings and calligraphy here.

Therefore, compared with ordinary calligraphy, painting and antique shops, Chu Chen felt that the layout here was a bit novel.

As soon as Chu Chen entered the store, a waiter in a cheongsam came over and said with a smile, "Sir, may I help you?"

Chu Chen said politely: "I have an appointment with your boss Cao, please let me know."

"Okay, wait a moment!" The waiter hurriedly walked inside after nodding his head.

During this period, Chu Chen casually admired a few works at the door.

Perhaps it was to attract the attention of customers, and the works at the door were all pretty good. The authors were all famous calligraphers and painters in the Qing Dynasty. Among them, the one that attracted Chu Chen's attention the most was Wu Dan's picture of a fisherman.

Wudan, styled Zhongbai, was a famous painter during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty.He is good at painting landscapes, fine brushwork, and freehand brushwork. The brushwork is clear, vigorous, and meticulous. The picture of the fisherman in front of Chu Chen's eyes well reflects Wudan's painting style.

The four hermits of "fishing, woodcutters, farming, and reading" are the most common themes in literati paintings, which express the desire of literati hermits to escape from the world, among which the theme of "fishing hermit" is the most common.

The painting on silk in front of me shows the vastness of the river in the distance, which can be described as the same color of water and sky. Nearby, it is a flat slope of green trees and a forest of hard rocks. There is a boat in the water beside the slope, which seems to be floating between the sky, the earth, the clouds and the water, detached and free and easy to return to nature.On the boat, the fisherman wears a straw hat and holds a paddle with both hands at the stern of the boat, making a rowing gesture. At the bow, there is a fisherwoman leaning over and holding a fish basket with both hands. The child is under the awning, with his head stretched out, which is full of meaning. .

The composition of this work can be described as simple and flexible, the brush and ink are blurred and round, and the artistic conception is elegant and elegant.The brushwork also has the style of the literati in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, which is free and unrestrained.When Chu Chen saw this style of painting and the artistic conception he expressed, he couldn't help but want to include him in his pocket.

Just when Chu Chen wanted to take a closer look at it, the waiter brought Cao Hui over just now.

After greeting Chu Chen enthusiastically, Cao Hui asked with a smile on his face, "Young Master Chu, are you interested in this work?"
