The fact that Su Pingnan is respected by the industry as the number one in the north in the jade carving world shows that his carving skills are extremely profound. Naturally, there is an endless stream of people who come to seek help, and Zhang Jun is one of them.
This is an ordinary courtyard house in Kyoto. In front of the door is an alley less than three meters wide, but it is full of people at the moment. Zhang Jun was shocked when he first arrived, but he was relieved after thinking about it. Su Pingnan Jade Carving Kungfu
Since the North is the lord, there will naturally be many people looking for him.
So, he reluctantly joined the queue, holding a huge canvas bag in his left and right hands. It was the three pieces of fine jade he found in the Emerald City, and he was going to show it to Su Pingnan.
While queuing, he counted the people waiting and found more than 30 people, including men and women, old and young. They were all eagerly waiting and looking toward the gate. But he had not been queuing for long, and there were so many people behind him.
A few people lined up.
With a wry smile, he had no choice but to wait patiently.
The people in front of them had obviously been standing for a long time, and the soles of their feet were in unbearable pain. They actually sat down on the ground, not caring about their appearance at all.
Zhang Jun was not afraid of getting tired, so he simply stood up on the Hunyuan Zhuang and took the opportunity to practice the exercises.
From around nine o'clock in the morning, he waited until one o'clock in the afternoon before he finally entered Su Pingnan's house. However, as soon as he entered, he was stopped by a young man with a middle-parted comb and asked: "What are you doing here?"
"Master Su, please take a look at a few things. If possible, I hope he can help carve them." Zhang Jun said with a smile.
The young man asked again: "Have you made an appointment?"
Zhang Jun shook his head: "No."
"If you don't have an appointment, make an appointment today and come back in line tomorrow," the young man said.
Zhang Jun was speechless for a while. He waited in line for a long time and it was just for reservation. He smiled bitterly and said, "Can you please let me know and say that the things I brought are very good."
"The stuff is good?" The young man showed contempt, "You mean the jade you brought is not bad, right? What hasn't Teacher Su seen before? Don't hinder others, leave your name and come back tomorrow."
Zhang Jun was a little unwilling. He put the canvas bag in his right hand on the ground and opened the zipper. Suddenly, a ray of dense green came out, making the young man's eyes straighten. He couldn't move while staring at the canvas bag.
Do not move.
He was very confident in his own stuff and knew that he would be able to calm the other party, so he smiled and asked, "Is my stuff okay?"
The young man came back to his senses and reluctantly moved his eyes away from the canvas bag. He said in surprise: "This is at least ice jade, right? And it's so big, it weighs at least ten kilograms."
Zhang Jun nodded: "The high-ice green jadeite is very close to glass, and there is no variegated color in the whole body. This kind of treasure can only show its maximum value in the hands of Master Su."
The young man nodded and said: "You have found the right person. Come on, for the sake of this good thing, I will inform you."
With that said, he turned around and walked towards the main room. He returned not long after and said with a smile, "Teacher Su invites you."
Zhang Jun carried two canvas bags and followed them with a smile. After crossing the threshold, there was an ordinary living room with a few simple pieces of furniture. Sitting on the sofa was an old man with gray hair, tall and thin, with clear eyes.
, he nodded slightly to Zhang Jun.
Zhang Jun put down his canvas bag and bowed to greet the other party: "Master Su, I'm sorry to bother you."
The old man was Su Pingnan. He smiled and said, "I'm opening the door for business. I don't want to disturb you. Please sit down."
Zhang Jun did not sit down. He directly opened the canvas bag and took out a piece of green Gaobing jadeite. This piece of jadeite was like a small watermelon, but the color was uniform and positive. It was rare that it was Gaobing's species.
It caught Su Pingnan's attention.
His eyes lit up and he praised: "What a jadeite. I haven't seen it in a few years. What do you want to carve?"
Zhang Jun said with a smile: "I heard that the master of jade carving can design the most reasonable carving process according to the condition of the jade. I am a layman, so it is up to you, the master, to decide what to carve."
Su Pingnan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take this job. After the job is completed, you need to pay two million in wages, and you'll get it after a week."
Zhang Jun nodded and took out a second jadeite. This jadeite was quite peculiar. It was the size of a human head and had three colors: red, green and purple. It was planted with enough water and was more attractive than the jadeite just now.
The three colors each account for about one-third, just like a three-color watermelon, crystal clear and pleasant.
Su Pingnan was moved by it. He stood up and observed it carefully for a while, and said with emotion: "What a good thing, I've only seen it in my life!"
If there are three colors of red, green and purple on the jade, it has an auspicious name, which is called Fu, Lu and Shou. This kind of jade is not easy to find. If the three colors are evenly distributed and planted in the right color, it will be a priceless treasure. Spend money on it.
Can't buy it either.
The stone he brought was undoubtedly a priceless treasure, hard to find in the world. No wonder Su Pingnan became excited.
"Do you want me to decide on this piece of jade?" Su Pingnan asked Zhang Jun again uncertainly.
Zhang Jun nodded: "Of course, I want to use it as a gift to the old man of the Lin family."
Su Pingnan was stunned and asked: "Which Lin family old man?"
Zhang Jun deliberately mentioned this matter and said: "Mr. Lin from Lin's Jewelry."
Su Pingnan was very surprised and said, "So you know Lao Lin, and I have been friends with him for many years." Then he asked, "What is your relationship?"
Zhang Jun smiled and said: "Mr. Lin's granddaughter is my girlfriend."
Su Pingnan nodded, said nothing, and continued to observe Jade.
After he finished reading, Zhang Jun took out the third piece of jade. This was an ice jade with floating flowers. It was cylindrical in shape, about thirty centimeters high, and naturally looked like a vase. What was even more amazing was that those floating flowers were
Flowers naturally form a landscape.
There are distant mountains, there are mountains and trees, and a woman with long sleeves is floating like a fairy. Even famous calligraphers and paintings are only of this level.
Su Pingnan marveled and said: "This piece of jade can become a peerless fine product with just a little carving. Young man, where did you get so many top-quality jade?"
Zhang Jun smiled "haha": "I am one of the shareholders of Donghai Tianxing Jewelry Company, and I have a lot of jade resources in my hands."
Su Pingnan: "It's no wonder." Then he said, "I have accepted these three jobs. The total cost is six million, and it can be completed in about one and a half months."
Zhang Jun said: "Okay. Actually, I came to see Master Su and I have one more thing to ask for."
"Say." Su Pingnan said.
"Tianxing Jewelry was established not long ago and is currently in a high-speed stage. It needs seniors like Master Su to take charge. Therefore, on behalf of Tianxing Jewelry, I hope that Master Su can become the dedicated engraver of Tianxing Jewelry. Of course, you can continue to take on private work.
We only need to carve individual pieces of jadeite." Zhang Jun said his intention.
He has thought about this for a long time. If Tianxing Jewelry can attract jade carving masters like Su Pingnan, it will surely become famous and embark on a high-quality and high-end sales route.
