God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 25
Xu Jingxing was single and weak, with only a thin An Xin standing in front of him, and although he himself was not so weak that his hands and feet were weak, he didn't have much strength either. People frantically beat an ending.

But at this moment, an old voice sounded in the hall, "Can I say a few words?"

The tone of the voice was not high, but there was a calming force that made the chaotic crowd quickly quiet down. Mr. Li was stunned, and even ran to an old man wearing a black Chinese shirt to greet him attentively, " What are your orders?"

The old man didn't know when he took the corbel column that Mr. Li smashed into his hand, turned it over and looked it over, and after taking a look at Mr. Li, he ignored him, but looked at Xu Jingxing, "This is your sculpture. of?"

Before Xu Jingxing could nod his head, Mr. Li on the other side became anxious, "Old Ding, this is carved by a machine. Isn't it very clear what Xiao Hu said just now?"

The old man surnamed Ding chuckled, "When did the machine carve such high-level carvings? If there is such a machine, engravers all over the world should lose their jobs."

Mr. Li blinked, and it took a few seconds to understand the meaning of the words, and he opened his mouth wide in an instant, "You mean, these components are not carved by machines?"

Old man Ding nodded, "If I'm not mistaken, this is the standard Beijing art, that is, the popular skill in the capital, and some people call it the Northern School in general to distinguish it from the Southern School, but no matter what style it is , can’t be made by machines, you look at the pattern, tell me what kind of machine can carve it,” he said, pointing to several patterns on the corbel.

These decorations are ordinary at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it can be found that the carvings are wide on the outside and narrow on the inside, that is, inverted trapezoid.However, because the machine needs to retract the knife, the engravings left are generally trapezoidal, and there are few engravings that go straight up and down.

Therefore, even a layman can roughly tell whether the carving is machine-made or purely hand-made by observing the carving marks.

Although Mr. Li doesn't know much about sculpture, he runs an antique construction company after all. He often comes into contact with these things, so he still has basic common sense. Therefore, he immediately understood that he had made a big joke, and his face turned red with embarrassment. Hu's woodcarver asked with a gloomy face: "Hu Bin, didn't you say that these carvings were carved by machines? Tell me, what kind of machines can leave inverted trapezoidal carvings?"

Hu Bin's cold sweat broke out in an instant. He bullied Mr. Li before and didn't understand these things, so he dared to call these components carved by Xu Jingxing as mechanical workers. When he gets paid, he can vent his anger.But he didn't expect that just when he was about to succeed, an inexplicable expert appeared, and he seemed to be respected by Mr. Li. How could he not be afraid of this?
To deceive a big businessman like Mr. Li, ruining one's reputation is still a trivial matter, and it may cause even bigger troubles.

Therefore, he subconsciously defended himself, and made a pitiful look with a mournful face: "Mr. Li, I also overheard it from a security guard. I, I am really not human. Mr. Li, please forgive me. I will You must stop spreading those hearsay gossip," he said, and slapped himself a few times, with a lot of force, and after a few slaps, one cheek became a little red and swollen.

I have to say that Hu Bin is cunning enough. When he saw the situation was not good, he immediately avoided the important and lightly shirked his responsibility, and pushed his fabricated nonsense onto the unwarranted security guards. Slapping himself is a gesture of correcting after knowing his mistakes, so that it is difficult for everyone to pursue it.

Mr. Li felt aggrieved, he had such a big ugliness in front of Mr. Ding and his subordinates, but he still couldn't vent his anger on the perpetrator. This feeling almost caused him to have a cerebral hemorrhage. Old Ding was by his side, so he had no choice but to put it down temporarily, glared at Hu Bin bitterly, and uttered a word, "Get out—"

Hu Bin didn't even dare to say a word, and ran down the mountain in a hurry with his head down. When he left the yard, he was moved by the threshold. How embarrassing he was, but no one at the scene sympathized with him, even Wang Haiyang spat at him. Wang Haiyang was timid and didn't dare to move forward when something happened, but he refused to let go of the opportunity to beat the dog in the water.

And from the way he was sneakily talking on the walkie-talkie, it is estimated that Hu Bin would have to be tossed by other security guards when he went down the mountain.

Mr. Li didn't notice these little things. When Hu Bin left, he immediately put on a warm smile, and kindly took Xu Jingxing's palm and asked, "Young man, are these components made by you? It really is a young hero, can you?" To be praised by Mr. Ding, you must have learned from a famous family, right?"

A businessman is a businessman, and he kept his business in three words. While praising Xu Jingxing, he did not forget to inquire about Xu Jingxing's background quietly.

Xu Jingxing didn't have a good impression of Mr. Li, so he pulled out his palm and smiled faintly, "That's absurd, trivial skills are not worth mentioning, Mr. Li should inspect the goods first."

Mr. Li didn't feel embarrassed, he laughed, "What's the matter, I believe you."

"No, it's better to inspect it, so as not to be entangled in future problems. I signed a contract with you. If you don't inspect the goods, I won't be able to get paid," Xu Jingxing said solemnly.

Mr. Li's face froze. He didn't expect Xu Jingxing to be so ignorant, but out of a businessman's instinct, he still nodded with a smile, "Okay, inspect the goods," he said, turning his head to look at Old Man Ding, "Old Man Ding, please gone."

Old man Ding smiled, walked around in front of a pile of components, nodded, "Very good, very good," he said and looked at Xu Jingxing, "Young man, who is your master? I haven't seen such a pure Jinggong for a long time. gone."

Xu Jingxing had a good impression of this old man surnamed Ding, and replied with a faint smile: "I don't have a master, I learned this skill from my father."

"Oh? What's your father's name? Where is he?" Old man Ding seemed to be very interested in Xu Jingxing's handicraft inheritance, and he had the tendency to break the casserole and ask the bottom line.

Now Xu Jingxing is not happy, how about checking the household registration?
He was displeased, and he didn't want to say more, so he replied calmly: "My father has passed away," and then changed the subject and asked, "Mr. Ding, are there any problems with this batch of construction?"

"No problem, very good," old man Ding saw Xu Jingxing's resistance, sighed with regret, and stopped asking.

Xu Jingxing didn't care about Old Man Ding's reaction, and turned to look at Mr. Li, "Mr. Li, the inspection is over, and it's time to settle the wages. According to the terms of the contract I signed with your company, the wages must be paid on the day of acceptance."
