Carve out the general outlines at random, especially the bull and tiger, and finally carve out the calf carefully, and then you can show its inner meaning.
Chen Wenzhe didn't choose any of the others, so he chose the deep love between mother and son.
If Chen Wenzhe wanted to make a ring, he had to do it in reverse. He had to reverse the directions of the ox and the tiger.
The tiger changes from lying on its back to attack, then pounces, thus forming a downward inner circle.
As for the calf, it depends on Chen Wenzhe’s hollow carving technology.
Although he doesn't use this technique, he still has a professional level.
It's a bit troublesome to do, but no matter how troublesome it is, in the face of modern tools, it's just a waste of ten more minutes.
Chen Wenzhe's current carving, sculpture, hollowing and other crafts have all been practiced in his dreams. After a little familiarity, he can become familiar with them.
Only if you are familiar with your hands and your skills are close to the Tao, they are not far apart.
By the time he reaches the level of skill and skill in carving, and can carve out the charm of an object in just a few strokes, he will have reached a level of skill that is close to Taoism.
The ferocity of the tiger, the strength of the bull, and the confusion of the calf. These are the three animal forms carved by Chen Wenzhe. They are a bit different from the cow-tiger bronze case.
That bronze case of an ox and a tiger shows a big ox sacrificing itself to protect its cubs.
And in this case, the big cow turned its head to attack the tiger, and the tiger pounced on the big cow's tail, while the calf was panicking under the big cow's belly, instead of being ignorant!
Xue Jianming looked at a small piece of light yellow jade that quickly formed into a ring. It was really a fancy ring, especially the pair of horns and the tiger crouching on it. Xue Jianming's face was filled with wonder.
"Look carefully, especially the eyes. Once polished, you will be even more shocked."
Li Jinli still knew what Chen Wenzhe was good at, so he was always paying attention.
Sure enough, just after the carving was completed, the look of two oxen and one tiger was very obvious through the eyes.
"Ah? Are you even showing your emotions?" Xue Jianming looked at the bull's eyes in shock.
Xue Jianming was also a little confused. What did he see in the bull's eye? Reluctance, determination, and ferocity?
How can a pair of cow's eyes express so many emotions?
Chen Wenzhe is also very satisfied with his carving skills, especially the finishing touch. He has now reached a higher level.
Of course, this was also inspired by the Cow-Tiger Bronze Case, so that he could imagine the mood of the big cow at that time, and then reflect all these emotions through his eyes.
This piece of work is truly shocking. Otherwise, the Ox-Tiger Bronze Case would not have attracted so much attention. It is called a national treasure and is ranked alongside Horses and Flying Swallows. The meaning it expresses is really too rich.
"This is really too valuable, I dare not accept it!"
It was originally only a 200 yuan item, but now that it is processed, who would think that it is a gadget bought for 200 yuan?
"My carving skills are not valuable. Besides, the material of this piece of jade, even if it is not calculated according to the price I bought it, but calculated according to the topaz after cutting, it is only 20,000 to 30,000 kilograms. This point
How big is the jade? Does it weigh 20 or 30 grams? It weighs less than one or two. If you calculate it this way, it is worth about a thousand yuan."
"If you say that, that would be great. How about you give me all these at cost?"
As he spoke, Xue Jianming pointed to the jade on the table.
Chen Wenzhe smiled and said: "Then I'll give it all to you. Maybe there's no jade in it!"
"Haha, who believes this? You may have bought this small rough stone for two hundred yuan, but after it is cut, the price cannot be calculated based on the original stone. Also, your craftsmanship can also make the price of the finished product higher.
Double that."
Looking at Xue Jianming, who was shaking his head with a pity expression on his face, Chen Wenzhe was really satisfied.
Asked to choose his own ingredients, Xue Jianming chose the smallest piece.
I originally planned to accept it, but when I saw Chen Wenzhe's carving work, I felt that I was getting a big advantage, so I resisted my greed. This is really rare.
"Brother, this thing can only be sold for tens of thousands of yuan at most, and it won't cost more than one hundred thousand yuan after all. If it costs one hundred thousand yuan, can I hire a bodyguard like you to help me look after the store 24 hours a day?
After this calculation, can you accept it with peace of mind?"
Xue Jianming couldn't help but take another look at the ring. As Li Jinli kept polishing it, it became more and more dazzling.
The light yellow jade outlines the black ox head, ox tail, and two pointed horns exposed in the topaz, which makes it feel like a skull ring.
His son must like this thing! Xue Jianming sighed.
That kid is going to take the college entrance examination soon, is he trying to curry favor?
She deliberately opposed him and delayed the most important event in life.
"Well, we still have a long time to live in the future, and I will try my best to deserve your 100,000 yuan!"
"That's right, the market price of this ring is only 100,000. If the wholesale price is 30,000 at most, just pay me back as a favor of 30,000."
Seeing the two people starting to talk and laugh, Li Jinli stopped what he was doing.
"Go back and try. If the inner diameter is too small, you can still adjust it."
With that said, Li Jinli handed the ring in his hand to Xue Jianming.
Xue Jianming took it carefully and rubbed it carefully in his hands.
The better the jade is, the better it is, he still knows this.
"If you like it, I can make one for you too? It's not expensive, just 30,000 yuan."
"That's not okay. Taking advantage once is enough. If I continue, I'm afraid I won't be able to suppress the greed in my heart. If greed breaks out and there are too many good things in this antique city, I will definitely go to jail in the future."
What else could Chen Wenzhe say? He could only give a thumbs up.
After the other two security guards came and packed all the jade into boxes, the two of them walked out of the antique city together.
When they got to the car, Xue Jianming felt uneasy after all. He felt that he had taken advantage of Chen Wenzhe, so he wanted to make up for it.
Rumors that Chen Wenzhe wanted to buy a store have been very popular recently. Naturally, Xue Jianming also heard about it and paid special attention to it.
Originally, he was thinking that he would communicate with Chen Wenzhe when he had time and sell himself a favor.
Unexpectedly, Chen Wenzhe is also a good person, and he actually gave him a big surprise by taking this opportunity to escort things.
In this case, it is even more important for him to deliver the news.
"Isn't it difficult to do the antique business now? I heard that in the capital, except for several famous antique markets such as Panyuan, other antique cities have become very deserted."
"Well, it's really hard to open a physical store."
"So, the prices of houses in Antique City have also dropped sharply."
Xue Jianming did not hide it, but directly talked about the house in the Antique City.
If it weren't for the fact that the Chenghuang Temple is a tourist attraction, the housing prices of the gorgeous buildings near the Chenghuang Temple would have fallen a long time ago.
But even so, many merchants in the antique city are preparing to make moves recently.
