Han Kongque said some of his ideas, and the old men were very happy. When Li Hongda saw the piece of golden nanmu in Han Kongque's hand, he became even more excited.
"How about I perform it live to see if my craftsmanship has deteriorated?" Li Hongda was immediately moved when he saw this precious material.
Han Kongque said with a smile: "Since Mr. Li wants us to see him, I will take advantage of him."
"I don't know what you want?" Li Hongda groped for the delicate texture of the golden nanmu, thinking about what this square piece of wood could do.
Han Peacock smiled and said: "My father-in-law likes calligraphy and painting, and I plan to use this square piece of wood to carve a paperweight."
"This is simple, it's up to me." Li Hongda took the food out of his body without saying a word.
The paperweight is rectangular, which Han Kongque and his family cut out, but did not modify, so it is not so neat.
Li Hongda did not deliberately modify the piece of wood, but started carving directly on it.
As the carving knife descended, a lot of scraps fell to the ground. Li Hongda corrected it while carving. By the time the carving was completed, the cross section had become very beautiful.
"Jinlong? You really know how to take advantage of the situation." Ji Shuping said.
Han Peacock took a closer look and saw that Li Hongda used the annual rings and wood grains in the golden nanmu to carve a vivid golden dragon on the golden wood.
Li Hongda said: "We are all ordinary people now, so I only carved a five-clawed golden dragon, and on two sides, I carved two golden phoenixes. In this way, the paperweight is considered finished. If all six sides were carved, it would look like
It’s too complicated. It’s not good.”
"This is very good." Han Peacock is still very satisfied with the golden dragon. These old people are really good at carving traditional patterns such as dragons and phoenixes. They can carve directly without thinking, and can quickly use the texture of the wood.
Carve out the beautiful dragon and phoenix.
He carved a golden dragon and two golden phoenixes. He then used a scraper to smooth out the other three. While flattening, Li Hongda also sketched out some cloud patterns, so that the paperweight was completed.
"This is really fast. Wouldn't it be faster if we carved a seal?" Han Kongque said happily.
Ji Shuping said: "Old man Li often carves official seals for people in the market."
"Okay, we've made an agreement. With you old men specializing in making some high-quality products, we really don't have to worry about expanding the market in Antique Street." Han Kongque said.
The elderly people were very happy to receive Han Peacock's approval. They talked for a while and then left with excitement on their faces.
Although they have skills, they can only earn three to five hundred yuan a day on the antique street. When business is good, it will not exceed three to five thousand, and wood carvers are not machine workers, so every screen they sell is
It takes time to engrave. This prevents them from shipping in large quantities.
Although this limits the quantity of their shipments, it is the basis for their continued prosperity on the antique street. Many people come here just for their handicrafts.
The profits of carving a peach wood product and carving a small-leaf red sandalwood product are definitely different.
If they want to make more money, they have to carve more, so they don't have much time to set up a stall.
Therefore, they don’t have much resistance to handing things over to others for sale.
After all, if you get some old materials and get a chance to make a long-term success, you don't have to think twice to know how to choose.
After seeing off a few old men, Han Kongque returned to the office again. At this time, there were obviously fewer people in the company.
Han Kongque had no intention of staying here anymore. He packed up, took the paperweight and walked out of the company.
Since he returned home, he naturally asked to see his parents. There were some things he brought back in the car, which he could just deliver to his parents.
Lao Zhang has also been a driver for many years, so he drives quickly and steadily, which is much better than Korean stars.
After getting out of the car, Lao Zhang helped to take down the things. Han Kongque said: "Lao Zhang, you go home! Come back at six o'clock in the afternoon and I will just take you to Liu Xu's house. I don't need a car now. You
Go back and spend time with your family."
"Okay, let me help you get your things up!" Lao Zhang sent Han Peacock into the house before leaving.
Han Kongque walked into the house to reunite with his family, while Lao Zhang hurried downstairs. He seemed to have seen his daughter just now.
In the morning, Lao Zhang's daughter asked him for 100 yuan, saying she was going to her aunt's house. How could she appear on the street?
Lao Zhang started the car, quickly turned out of the community and drove towards another street.
The street is very long, and in such a short time, you can't go far without taking a taxi.
At this time, on the street, a group of boys and girls were walking and talking.
One of the girls said to a fat boy: "Little Fatty, can you do it? If not, don't waste our time."
As soon as the girl said this, several boys laughed at the same time, and one of them even shouted: "How can a man say no?"
The girl said contemptuously: "You are considered men? At most, you are boys. Don't talk nonsense. We are all here. If the little fat guy can't get the discount, we will keep you guys there to wash the dishes."
Hearing the girl's threat, several other boys also became nervous. If such a thing really happened, it would be really embarrassing.
"Little Fatty, you really can't do it, can you? If you can, then quickly take out your senior membership card."
"It's just that if we can't get a discount, the little money we can collect won't be enough to get into the box."
The little fat man was impatient when he was told that he took out a card and said: "Well, then, look at it, this is the so-called discount card of Red Mansion Restaurant. In fact, it is not a discount card, but an employee card, because Red Mansion Restaurant has no so-called discount card at all.
discount card, okay?
My mother works as an accountant at the Red Mansion Restaurant, so she has such a card. I stole it. If my mother found out, she would beat me to death. If I had known, I wouldn't have bragged. You people are really...
Isn’t it enough to take advantage of it? I have agreed that if you treat me, I will only eat."
Everyone, young and old, burst into laughter. The girl from before said, "Don't make yourself sound so noble. Your last sentence is the truth, right? Let's go and have a big dinner."
"I want to eat hand-washed crab."
"Why should we eat hand-washed crabs when it's so cold?"
"Yes, it's better to eat crab cakes."
"Stop dreaming. A big crab costs 200 yuan. How much does a crab cake cost? How much did we collect in total?"
"Oh, my parents have been too strict with me recently. They only give me 500 yuan in pocket money every month."
"Don't be so pitiful. If you don't play games or buy snacks, how much money can you spend every month?"
"It's just that you eat and drink from your parents, so how can your parents still give you pocket money? I really don't understand them. If I were me, I wouldn't give you a penny, so that you don't have to waste it."
"Haha, everything you said seems to be true. What are you doing now? Aren't you taking your parents' money to go out and be cool?"
"This money of mine is just pocket money that I usually save. Can it be the same as yours?" said a girl.
"Stop talking nonsense, let's go to the Red Mansion Restaurant for a big meal."
"Yes, I must take a photo with that goldfish to save the classmates in our class from looking down on me."
"I want to sit on that silver mountain and take a picture."
"Then we're going to ride bulls?" Several girls laughed.
Lao Zhang drove his car close to the roadside and listened to all their words. At this time, he felt sad.
Just now I was worried that my daughter was a bad learner, but now I feel sorry for her.
He had long heard that comparisons were common in the school, and the students had to compare themselves with each other in terms of food, drink, and clothing. Only now did he realize that this kind of comparison had seriously affected the values of these children.
Thinking of this, Lao Zhang didn't hesitate. He directly lowered the car window and controlled the car to get close to several young people.
"Dad?" Zhang Xiaohan looked at Zhang Zhina in surprise.
Zhang Zhi looked at his daughter with a smile and said: "These are your classmates? Where are you going? I will take you there. The car is idle."
Zhang Xiaohan was a little at a loss, but her classmates didn't have any scruples. They swarmed into the back of the car, leaving the front to Zhang Xiaohan.
"Uncle, is this your car?" The teenagers didn't have much scruples. They didn't do anything bad anyway.
Zhang Zhina said: "No, it belongs to my boss. I drive for a big boss."
"Dad, aren't you driving for the company? Why are you driving for the boss again?" Zhang Xiaohan was a little surprised.
Zhang Zhina said: "Our boss has made a big fortune now, so he has no choice but to hire professional drivers. No, the dad you don't like is my boss's fancy."
Before Zhang Xiaohan had time to speak, one of her classmates said: "Uncle, isn't your car the s600 that was broadcast on the news this morning?"
"Did you see it too?" Zhang Zhina was a little surprised. At that time, weren't these children supposed to be sleeping?
"Is it really one of that fleet? That fleet is there to protect your boss?"
"Yes, my boss has a total of ten such cars, even the license plates are the same." Zhang Zhina said with a smile.
"The license plates are all the same? Is the DMV willing?"
"So it's good to have money. You all know how my boss got rich, right? So you must learn more knowledge. After learning knowledge, it is too illusory to say that building the motherland is too illusory, but making more money is real."
"I know, your boss saw that others had discovered the stumps of huanghuali trees, so he dug them out himself, and dug out a lot."
"This is the skill. If we saw it, wouldn't we just envy others? My boss thought that there must be other places, so he studied a lot of information and made a lot of preparations, so that he could dig out a lot of valuable money.
If you don’t have some knowledge about the tree stump, even if a huanghuali is placed in front of you, you won’t recognize it.”
