Chapter 038 Zhongdu Jade Carving Craft School [Minor Repair]
Everyone accompanied Yan Ruyu to the Antique City again, but Chen Ran did not join in the fun, so he said goodbye and left. He first went to the ICBC to withdraw two thousand yuan in cash, and then went to the fruit market to buy some fruits. The main thing to buy fruits was
It was to feed Hong Xiu. By the way, I also bought some other fruits that he used to like but was reluctant to eat.
He just made money, and unknowingly, he was a lot more generous to himself.
After coming out of the fruit market, Chen Ran called Xiao Gu again and asked Xiao Gu if there were any red sunflowers. When he sent the red sleeves to Uncle Luo, he also planned to send a red sunflower to Huang.
uncle.
There were no red sunflowers at Xiao Gu's place, but he asked Chen Ran to wait for two or three days and he would help collect one, and Chen Ran agreed.
When I got home, I threw an apple to Hongxiu when the phone rang.
"Okay, Xiao Ran, I've heard all about it. You were killing everyone in the antique city today..." Gao Qiang's excited voice came when the phone was connected. It was obvious that Chen Ran was in the limelight. He was better than Chen Ran.
Even more happy.
Chen Ran was about to speak, but the voice on the other side suddenly stopped. He took the phone and took a look, only to find that the screen of his fake phone was black and the screen was no longer displayed. It seemed that it was turned off. He quickly pressed the power button, but
No reaction at all.
Chen Ran has been using this fake phone for a few years. He bought it when he was just admitted to college. The writing on the keyboard has long been worn away, and the black paint on the phone case has almost faded away.
It broke several times, and Chen Ran took it to a mobile phone store to have it repaired.
At this moment, the fake mobile phone suddenly couldn't be turned on. Chen Ran guessed that it was broken because he was dropped by the man in sunglasses in the morning.
Looks like I have to buy a new mobile phone again!
Since it broke, Chen Ran no longer planned to use it and was going to buy a new one. However, at this time, the person who was talking to Gao Qiang had to at least tell the other party first, otherwise Gao Qiang would definitely think that something had happened.
.
When he was thinking this, he took his mobile phone and smashed it twice on the table. Unexpectedly, after he smashed it like this, the screen of the mobile phone flashed twice. He quickly pressed the power button again, several times, and reluctantly
Qiang Qiang finally turned on his phone, and then called Gao Qiang again.
Gao Qiang's call was not only happy that Chen Ran had found out something he had missed, but also had another thing to do, and that was to register Chen Ran for the jade carving competition.
Since this competition is the largest, highest-level, and most extensive jade carving competition in history, the requirements for participating jade carvers are somewhat strict. People like Chen Ran are actually not qualified to participate, let alone today.
The registration deadline has passed.
Gao Qiang called to tell Chen Ran that he had found a way for Chen Ran, which was to participate in the competition as a student of Zhongdu Jade Carving Craft School.
Zhongdu Jade Carving Craft School is a vocational and technical school sponsored by the Provincial Jade Association that specializes in training jade carvers. Although it is just a technical school, it is a quite authoritative school in the jade carving profession, not to mention the best in the province.
The status of the jade carving industry is quite famous even within the domestic jade carving industry.
Among similar jade carving schools in China, Zhongdu Jade Carving Craft School is also ranked among the top ten.
It is said that many senior jade carvers from the Jade Association are employed or working in the school, and the lowest teacher in the school is a third-level jade carver. The principal is not only the president of the Provincial Jade Association, but also a rare fifth-level jade carver.
He is a figure like Taishan in the jade carving industry in Central Plains Province.
Gao Qiang has already arranged everything for Chen Ran. Chen Ran only needs to bring a copy of his ID card, photos and other information to the school within the past two days to contact a director named Luo.
At that time, the director named Luo would arrange everything for him and tell him to go to school as soon as possible.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Ran went online to check the information about Zhongdu Jade Carving School.
After learning some information about the Zhongdu Jade Carving Craft School, Chen Ran was immediately moved. This school is simply the cradle of jade carvers. Most of the jade carvers in the province came from this school. It can be said that it is the center of the Central Plains Province.
A training base for jade carvers.
Of course, what excites Chen Ran the most is the school. A fourth-level jade carver gives lectures for three days every month. The jade carver's lectures are not as simple as university professors' lectures. They often take a long time.
.
This is still not what makes Chen Ran most excited. What makes Chen Ran most excited is the Yuyuan Building of the Jade Carving Craft School!
Please note, and don’t misunderstand, Yuyuan Building is not a brothel, but the library building of the Jade Carving Craft School.
This is a library that is completely characterized by jade culture. It contains not only tens of thousands of books, but also famous jade carvings by masters in the school.
When every teacher in the school works at the school, he will carve one of his most outstanding works and place it in the Yuyuan Building for people to watch. There will also be prize-winning works of school students participating in various jade carving competitions, etc.
Put it on display in Yuyuan Building.
Thinking that Gao Qiang told him to go to school as soon as possible, he called Director Luo according to the contact information Gao Qiang gave him.
"Hey, you... are good!"
The other person seemed to have just woken up, he just said "hello" and yawned.
"Hello! My name is Chen Ran. Brother Qiang must have told you before, right?" Chen Ran said straight to the point without talking nonsense.
"Chen Ran?"
The other party was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly realized when he heard Gao Qiang's name: "Oh, it turns out it's you. Brother Qiang has already told me, when are you going to come to school?"
Chen Ran asked: "Can I go over now?"
"Now?" The other party was stunned again, and then said: "Then you have to wait for a while. I won't be at school right now, and I will have to wait for a while before I can get to school."
"That's okay! I'm just afraid of delaying your business, so I'll go over and won't disturb you, right?"
"It's okay! It's okay!"
…
After making an agreement with the other party, Chen Ran packed up, took two two-inch color photos and went out. He found a copy shop to make three copies of his ID card, and then took the car directly to the Jade Carving School.
Zhongdu Jade Carving School is located in Xiama City, a suburb of Xihuan City. Xiama City is an ancient town in the suburbs of Zhongdu. Zhongdu Jade Carving School has beautiful mountains and waters surrounding Xiama City as its background, with rich historical and cultural heritage as its foundation. It is surrounded by mountains and lakes.
constructed.
The history of the establishment of the school is not long, only a few years, but its prototype is a jade carving workshop in the Qing Dynasty, which was later transformed into a jade carving craft school.
The Jade Carving Craft School occupies an area of 3,500 acres, with a green area of 750,000 square meters, a construction area of 30,000 square meters, and a total investment of 650 million. Using jade as a carrier, it integrates the aura of landscape, exquisite jade carvings and cultural relics. It is a school based on
A craft school that promotes jade culture and jade carving technology as its main features.
The place where the school is located is a bit remote, and it took Chen Ran more than an hour to take a taxi. The taxi stopped directly in front of the school, and when he got out of the car, Chen Ran saw the school gate.
Chen Ran was attracted by just one glance. To be honest, the gate in front of him didn't look like a school at all, but more like a scenic spot. The gatehouse was a red ancient building, using the northern Ming and Qing Dynasty official-style architecture, and it was imposing.
Magnificent, majestic and gorgeous.
In front of the gatehouse are two stone bridges...
Two jade lions on both sides of the main gate glared ahead...
On the left and right sides are willow paths, extending infinitely into the depths...
Whether at the door or on the willow path, there are pedestrians walking slowly, looking like tourists admiring the scenery.
Arriving at the stone bridge, Chen Ran was about to call Director Luo, but he didn't expect the other party to call him first.
"Brother Chen, are you here yet? I'm standing next to the lion at the school gate!"
Chen Ran looked up and immediately saw a fat man in his mid-twenties standing next to the jade lion. The fat man was wearing a blue sportswear and was talking on the phone while looking this way.
After waving to the young man, Chen Ran walked over.
"Are you Brother Chen? Hello, my name is Luo Zhi! You can just call me Fatty!" Fatty smiled and stretched out his hand to shake Chen Ran's hand.
Chen Ran felt a little funny in his heart, Luo Zhi, Luo Zhi, how could he sound like a retard when he shouted, but on the surface he didn't show anything: "Hello, just call me Chen Ran!"
The two of them greeted politely and walked towards the school. Fatty also introduced Chen Ran about the competition. According to regulations, students from the Jade Sculpture Art School can directly participate in the competition without taking the exam.
Only then did Chen Ran know that the competition is divided into preliminary rounds, selection rounds, and finals. The preliminary rounds are just a level for newcomers. If there are recommenders or various workshops and companies in the jade carving industry, there is no need to participate in the preliminary rounds, and those from jade carving schools.
Students also directly skip the preliminary round.
The problem that the registration deadline has expired is not a problem for the students of the Jade Sculpture School, because the students of the Jade Sculpture School do not apply to the Jade Association, but directly to the school, and the school submits it in a unified manner.
The registration has just ended, and the registration form for Jade Carving School has not been handed in yet. For Fatty, adding Chen Ran to the list is not a big problem. The problem is that the school needs Chen Ran’s enrollment certificate and information.
Yes, it is not too difficult to solve this problem.
"Don't worry, I can get it done for you tomorrow at the latest!"
The fat man smiled and patted his chest and assured Chen Ran, and then said enthusiastically: "This competition has put the school through a lot of trouble. In order to allow these participating students to pass the literary test, the school has special
I gave these students a small lesson, pulled them out directly, and held a pre-match cram school. Several teachers took turns giving lectures to them. Although there were only three or four days left, the last three or four days were also
The most important thing is, Brother Chen, do you want to come and listen?"
Hearing the fat man's words, Chen Ran suddenly became interested, and at this moment, they walked to a row of small buildings. This small building looked like a very low temple. There was a jade statue in each temple.
, and each of these jade statues is lifelike, just like real people.
"Brother Chen, have you seen..." The fat man saw that Chen Ran had noticed these statues. He pointed out his hand and said proudly: "Each of the characters represented by these jade sculptures is the pride of our school and our school."
The pride of the Central Plains Province! Anyone in our Central Plains Province who can become a fourth-level jade carver can have a statue here, and will be commemorated and respected by all jade carvers. And the statue in this Jade Master Tower is also the place for all jade carvers in our Central Plains Province.
goals and dreams!”
When the fat man said that, he turned to Chen Ran and joked: "As long as Brother Chen can become a fourth-level jade carving master in the future, he can also have his statue here, and all the honors you have gained will also be carved.
Here, it will be passed down forever and be respected and admired by countless descendants of jade carvers..."
The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention.
The goals and dreams of all jade carvers...
A long-lost pride suddenly emerged in his chest, making Chen Ran slowly walk towards the small building as if possessed by a demon, and the fat man's words continued to echo in his ears for a long time -
"As long as Brother Chen..."
…
Strictly speaking, Chen Ran is not a passionate person, or his past passion has long been worn away by life, but after seeing the great achievements and glory of the characters represented by each statue, Chen Ran still can't help but
I was impulsive, and imagined in my mind that one day, my statue would appear there!
The consequence of such fantasies was that when he woke up the next morning, he was still in a daze...
After being stunned for a long time, Chen Ran came to his senses, and at this moment, he heard the doorbell ringing.
"..."
After Chen Ran opened the door, he looked at the woman standing at the door in astonishment.
The woman was wearing jeans on her lower body, a black windbreaker on her upper body, a silk scarf around her neck, still wearing a cowboy hat, and still wearing a pair of sunglasses. She packed herself even more tightly than last time, as if
Like a thief...
If it weren't for the middle-aged woman following him, Chen Ran might not be able to recognize her.
And this woman turned out to be Yan Ruyu who lived opposite him.
"Good morning!"
Yan Ruyu smiled sweetly and greeted Chen Ran.
"good!"
Chen Ran nodded doubtfully.
"Are you busy today?" Yan Ruyu reached out and took off her sunglasses and smiled at Chen Ran.
"What's wrong with you?"
Chen Ran asked instead without answering.
Nodding, Yan Ruyu winked at Chen Ran slightly playfully——
"I want you to accompany me to the black market!"
