"Of course you can sell it. There are nose and eyes. Art is not valued by good or bad. It all depends on feeling. You know, some people think that such an ugly root carving is artistic. When holding it as a baby, everyone feels different."

Li Fei waved his hand and said nonsense.

"Xiaofei, do you think my carving is a little rough and artistic?" another villager came up and asked.

"Rough is a little rough, but it's no problem to sell. Radishes and vegetables have their own love. If someone likes it, it's artistic. It's a big deal to sell it cheaper." Li Fei commented.

After some comments, the villagers were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths. There were worthless wooden bumps at home, all of which became works of art.

Someone calculated an account. For ordinary root carving, they can basically carve one in a day and a half, and twenty in a month. That's 6000 yuan.

The monthly income of 6000 yuan is definitely a huge sum of money for the villagers of Yunding village, which is much more cost-effective than farming.

Next, Li Fei set up a table in Zhang Gen's yard and began to buy root carving. The patriarch sat next to him as a notary.

"Every family takes out the root carving at an average price of 300 yuan and pays the bill in cash." Li Fei shouted.

Three hundred yuan each was paid in cash. The villagers happily took all the root carving at home and sold it.

Zhang Gen was nearby to help Li Fei count. He was responsible for checking out. He shouted every time he checked out.

"Zhang Tiedan, ten, three thousand yuan."

"Zhang laoshuan, twelve, 3600 yuan."

"Zhang Sheng, eighteen, five thousand four hundred yuan."

……

Yunding village is descended from the same ancestor, so their surnames are Zhang.

Finally, tens of thousands of cash on Li Fei was gone, and the acquisition had to be interrupted.

"Sorry, I didn't bring enough cash today. I'll buy it again when I have enough money next time."

At first, he completely underestimated the number of root carving. Unexpectedly, there were so many root carving. Now he seldom took cash with him when he went out. He basically swiped his card, and tens of thousands of cash soon disappeared.

The patriarch sat beside the road.

"Xiaofei, I didn't bring enough money. The next time I make up for it, you take the root carving away first."

"Patriarch, it's not good. Aren't you afraid that I won't come back?" Li Fei asked with a smile.

"You're a good boy. I can see it at a glance, and you're doing good for the village. It's too late for us to be grateful. Why don't you believe you?"

The villagers also agreed.

"The patriarch is right. We all believe you. It's the same to pay next time."

Li Fei nodded, "that's good. I'll write an IOU."

"The IOU is unnecessary. We believe you." the patriarch shook his head and said.

"It is because you believe me that I can't live up to your trust. The IOU must be typed. The IOU will be invalid next time the money is brought." Li Fei insisted.

Next, Li Fei continued to buy. Every time he bought one, he wrote an IOU and handed it to the villagers.

After the acquisition, a total of 260 root carvings have been acquired, which can be described as a great harvest.

When Zhang Gen was free, he also took out his own root carving and gave it to Li Fei.

"Brother Li Fei, there are twenty in total. I've counted them all."

"Brother Genzi, your level of root carving has reached the level of the master. 300 yuan is too bad, at least 600 yuan each." Li Fei looked at the root carving in Zhang Gen's hand and said.

"No, no, no, I'm like everyone else. Three hundred and one. The price is a lot." Zhang Gen said anxiously.

Li Fei looked at the villagers and said slowly.

"Everyone is here. I'm not partial to brother Genzi. You can see that brother Genzi's level is much higher, so 61 is a normal price. What do you think?"

"Genzi is the most gifted in the village. No one can compare with him except his father. We have no problem with six hundred and one."

"Genzi is clever. We all like his root carving. We have no problem."

The villagers responded that it was obvious that Zhang Gen's skill was recognized, which also showed that Li Fei didn't look away.

Li Fei turned back and smiled at Zhang Gen.

"Look, I'm not the only one who said you carved well. Everyone praised you, so don't refuse."

"Thank you, brother Li Fei"

Zhang Gen didn't know what to say, so he could only thank him.

Li Fei packed all the root carvings he had bought. The patriarch called several young posterities to help him down the mountain.

"Brother Genzi, I have to cure your leg injury before I leave. I need you to carve more root carving in the future."

With that, Li Fei checked the wound on Zhang Gen's leg, and then went outside the village to pick herbs and put them on him.

After all this, he left and went back to Qingshan village as soon as possible to sell these root carvings.

"Xiaofei, wait, I'll tell you something."

Zhang Laogen called Li Fei aside and said mysteriously.

"Old root dad, just say anything."

Li Fei doesn't know what Zhang Laogen wants to say, but it must be a very important thing.

"You said before that my Eight Immortals crossing the sea was really valuable?" Zhang Laogen rubbed his hands and said excitedly.

"Yes, it's absolutely valuable. The eight immortals have reached a high artistic level. Someone must be willing to buy it at a high price. Dad, do you want to sell it?"

"I want to sell it. Our Yunding village has been closed for hundreds of years, and there is no way down the mountain. Many people in the village broke their legs when they went down the mountain. And it's not safe for the children to go down the mountain, so I think you can take it out for me and build a road for the village with the money. I just don't know if it's enough."

"Enough, absolutely enough. Well, I'll go down the mountain to inquire for you and ask you a good price. Father root, your intention is really worthy of my admiration. Don't worry, I won't lose you."

Li Fei was moved to say that Zhang Laogen sold eight immortals to cross the sea to build roads for the village. This spirit is really selfless.

"Well, please," said Zhang Laogen gratefully.

Li Fei took some photos of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, asked the price at that time, and then went down the mountain.

Before leaving, he also asked the villagers to seize the time to carve root carving and buy it next time.

Several young students in the village sent Li Fei down the mountain, and then he drove back to Qingshan village.

The first thing when he returned to the village, Li Fei found Xiuqin and told him about opening a root carving shop.

Xiuqin also knows the art of root carving. It has been very popular in recent years. Naturally, she has no objection.

"Just before, we took care not to rent out all the shops in the commercial street. The facade is ready-made. We can use it after decoration."

"That's OK, sister Xiuqin. You should find someone to decorate as soon as possible, and the supply of goods will continue in the future. The decoration style should be a little retro, antique is the best, and there should be a bit of artistic flavor, so it looks like it's forced to be high." Li Feidao.

"Don't worry, I'll find a professional design company to do it. It's absolutely not bad. By the way, patronize and say, I haven't seen your root carvings yet. Let me appreciate them." Xiuqin smiled.

"Right away, it's absolutely amazing."

Then Li Fei took Zhang Gen's carving out of his pocket and showed it to Xiuqin. Sure enough, Xiuqin liked it at first sight.

"Oh, I'll go. The carving is lifelike and vivid. I didn't expect that the villagers have such good carving skills, which are better than those root carving masters." Xiuqin couldn't help admiring.

"This is the most talented person in Yunding village. His name is Zhang Gen. the skills of the other villagers are poor, but they are all good. Take a look."

Li Fei showed Xiuqin the root carving works of the other villagers.
