Chapter 50 Sculpture Inheritance
The mutton is soft and tender, the skin is crispy but not burnt, the meat is fragrant, and the peerless delicacy on the tip of the tongue makes people feel endless aftertaste. In addition, the peerless wine, Monkey Wine, everyone, including the most "lady and quiet" Guo Xiaoshi, was full of oil and eyes were blurred.
"Brother Jing, I heard you want to find a master who understands carving?"
After almost all the wine and meat were eaten, everyone started chatting, and Su Chen asked.
Wu was stunned, looked at Yu Jing, then looked at Su Chen, and nodded. "There is such a thing. I want to ask someone to do something. The other party likes carvings, so I want to give it my best!"
Su Chen also nodded, got up and washed his hands aside, then found the handbag in the pavilion, took out the dragon and phoenix walnuts from it, and came back and handed them to Wu Jing.
"Brother Jing, how do you look at this craft?"
Wu Jing took it with the opportunity, Yi Zhou, Yu Qing, Yu Antai and others also got up and came over after hearing this.
Wu Jing opened the cloth bag and revealed the round walnuts that had been plated inside.
When everyone saw it, their eyes immediately fell into it.
I saw that there were a dragon and a phoenix entrenched on the two round walnuts, with four golden dragons ferocious hooves, which looked like a long roar to the sky. The dragon's body and head were carved in a very realistic way, as if the divine dragon could break free from the bondage at any time, and the dragon went to the nine heavens.
The golden phoenix is a Nirvana diagram, and the noble and domineering golden wings flapping in the golden flames, as if they could break the flames away in the next moment and be reborn in the fire.
Both walnuts are semi-carved, that is, they are separated from the middle of the walnut, generally remain the same, and are usually carved. In this way, they look like a dragon and a phoenix lying on the walnut, which is more realistic.
Yi Zhou is a carving craft, and he has the most say in identifying craftsmanship. "Good carving! This carving is definitely master-level, lifelike!"
When others heard this, they spoke.
Yue Yunpeng pointed to the walnut and said in disbelief: "This is carved by humans? No, can human carving be so superb? Could it be carved by machines?"
Yue Yunpeng also drank some wine, so he spoke casually. Everyone was a little drunk, and no one cared about it.
Yu Jing took a photo of Yue Yunpeng and rolled his eyes and said, "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. Can the carvings of machines be the same as those carved by humans? Carvings of machines are often very rigid, with only shape and no spirit! And the real carving is like the dragon before the finishing touch, with both spirit and form, and concentration looks like a living thing. This is something that no machine can carve! "
"Yes! Although technology is developed now, some of the skills of our ancestors can never be copied. It's a pity! Nowadays, fewer and fewer people know how to do business. Good objects are often too high and fewer, comparable to machines and crafts, and they cannot sell for good prices.
So it is becoming increasingly difficult for real craftsmen to make money, and fewer and fewer people are willing to enter the industry. In a few years, the craft left by our ancestors will probably be ruined in our hands!"
emmmmmmm, the topic suddenly became a little heavy and no one talked.
It’s not that we disagree, but that we can’t help. The issue of inheritance has become a difficult problem for the development of the times. It cannot be solved by anyone in a few words. It’s useless to say more!
Yu Qing took the dragon and phoenix walnuts from Wu Jing's hand and played them in the palm of his hand. He felt the round feeling in his palm and the crisp sound of the walnuts collided. The more he played, the more he liked it.
Not only is this walnut superb carving, but it is also the best material. Judging from its appearance, it is still the most authentic lion head. It is a rare fine product. Yu Qing looks more and more fond of it.
Su Chen held a wine jar and drank with his neck and didn't pay attention. When he tilted his body, he would fall down. Without Su Chen's body reacting, he felt that he suddenly fell into a warm body.
He raised his head and saw Guo Xiaoshi's cheeks rising like the morning glow, quickly getting a blush. The girl's eyes were closed tightly, but the hand holding Su Chen's shoulders was even more forceful.
Su Chen's body stiffened for a moment, then smiled slightly, found a comfortable position for himself, and just lay down halfway.
After another sip of wine, Guo Xiaoshi asked him to take a piece of lamb leg meat, and said while eating: "Brother Ying'er, if you like this walnut, I'll give it to you!"
When Yu Jing heard this, he waved his hand quickly. "Don't, don't, this is too expensive."
An envy flashed in the eyes of others. Everyone liked good things, whether they understood them or not.
Su Chen waved his hand. "Nothing is expensive. I still have a lot of this thing, nothing is expensive."
This is not Su Chen's last act of being generous. In fact, this thing really doesn't value it very much. If he wants to, he can mass-produce a bunch of them at will. It's just a waste of time.
Su Chen likes to play with pan and cultural relics, but his main energy is now on Dzi beads. If he wants to play walnuts, he can carve at any time.
Of course, this thing is just not worth much to him. After all, it is the master's skill, so he should have the dignity of a master.
Therefore, he will never give away Su Chen’s own works, and even if he gives away, he will only give to his friends who are recognized by him. No one else will come and no matter how much it costs!
When everyone saw Su Chen's attitude, they saw that he was not fake or lying, and they were a little confused.
Not to mention experts like Yu Qing and Yi Zhou, even Yue Yunpeng, who just spoke nonsense, knew that if you took out these two walnuts, you could buy at least tens of thousands of thousands of dollars, or even if you meet someone you like, someone would be willing to buy them millions.
Why does such a good thing mean that Su Chen is worthless?
Wu Jing looked at walnuts, then looked at Su Chen, and opened his mouth and asked, "Su Chen, the master who carved this dragon and phoenix walnut is your acquaintance, right?"
When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized. If this is the case, it makes sense. If the other party is Su Chen's friend, Su Chen will definitely have something better in his hand, and he will not feel sorry for giving one or two.
It’s just that I give away my friends’ things at will, and I look like I don’t care, and I’m a little unpretentious.
So Wu Jing's tone was a little stern when he asked. He had always disliked people who were not particular. If Su Chen was such a person, he might not have turned against Su Chen, but if he hadn't been right in the future, he would definitely not come to drink again.
The atmosphere became solemn. Su Chen took a sip of wine and was about to speak when he heard Yi Zhou say, "No, Xiaosan'er, you bought a whole set of carving knives from me the day before yesterday, and today I bought so many walnuts and olive kernels. You won't carve these dragon and phoenix walnuts from you, right?"
When everyone heard this, their first reaction was that Yi Zhou was joking. The main reason was that Su Chen was too young. No matter when, young people would be despised because of their age. This is an indisputable fact.
But immediately, everyone suddenly thought of Su Chen's cooking skills. It seems a bit unreasonable to be so young and so old!
Maybe, I was really guessed by Manager Yi?
For a moment, more than a dozen pairs of eyes looked at Su Chen.
