"I came to Shanhai Planet to start a business. Now I am a photographer. I have not joined Shanhai Planet yet." Whether I will join Shanhai Planet depends on whether I can catch up with Bai Zhen.
Chu Ruotang nodded, "My great-grandfather and I were engaged in jade carving."
"Would you carve it yourself?"
"Yes, it's hand-carved."
"It's amazing, it's amazing!" Nan Xi couldn't help but admire him, "It's really rare to see such hands. Now they are all engraved with smart lasers."
This is the first carver she has met...
Oh, no, it must be the second one. When she went to Shanhai Apartment (also known as Monster Apartment) two days ago, she seemed to have seen a handsome sculptor.
"It's nothing extraordinary." Chu Ruotang said with disappointment, "Many of the jade carving techniques nowadays have been lost, and my great-grandfather's skills are just average."
What's more, high technology can replace their craftsmanship, so these craftsmen who insist on carving by hand have no use at all. This craft can only be regarded as a kind of leisure fun.
Unless their craftsmanship can be replaced by technology... However, there are really too few carving techniques that have been handed down in the interstellar world.
Seeing her depressed look, Nan Xi comforted her: "Actually, I have always felt that handicrafts are better than those made by machines."
"Things carved by high technology always have less emotion than those made by people. Things made by cold machines will always only have form. What you make with your own hands has put in your hard work and emotion."
Chu Ruotang looked at Nanxi with wide eyes. She rarely heard such praise from a layman.
"Really?"
"Of course! I have seen jade carvings from hundreds of years ago in the interstellar museum. I don't know how beautiful they are. They cannot be reproduced with high technology."
She also studied art after all. Although she can't sculpt, she still has basic appreciation skills.
Chu Ruotang's eyes were filled with smiles, "I also think that my family has been doing jade carving in the past, and a piece of jade carving passed down from my ancestors is really beautiful. It was because of it that I decided to learn jade carving from my great-grandfather."
The planet she and her great-grandfather were on was only discovered by the stars in the past two hundred years. At that time, the planet was very backward. They lived a life of men farming and women weaving. There was no so-called high technology at all.
It's just that interstellar culture has had a great impact on the planet. After being discovered by interstellar, technology suddenly improved, and a lot of the culture and craftsmanship of that era disappeared.
The rest of the family has long since stopped working in the jade carving industry. Her parents died young, and she grew up under the knees of her great-grandfather and was very interested in jade carving.
Many of the jade carving skills from our ancestors were passed down from hand to hand. With the passage of time and the advancement of technology, many of them have been lost.
"Actually... one of the very important reasons why my great-grandfather and I moved here is to learn carving techniques." Chu Ruotang said, "Sister Nanxi, do you know there is a very powerful carving master on Shanhai Planet?"
Nanxi suddenly thought of the people he saw in Shanhai Apartment before.
"Are you talking about a very handsome sculptor who is very young?" Nanxi had seen his live broadcast on Star Network before, and this was the first time he saw him in person.
"Yes! His name is Wujin!"
Nan Xi nodded, as if she was calling this name. Except for Bai Zhen, she didn't pay much attention to anyone else.
Chu Ruotang's eyes were full of admiration, "When I watched Master Wujin's live broadcast before, I admired him very much!"
"My great-grandfather was full of praise when he saw his craftsmanship!"
Suddenly, she sighed again, "We also thought about becoming his teacher directly, but unfortunately he was not willing. He only gave us some guidance during the live broadcast."
"But even so, my great-grandfather and I learned a lot."
Chu Ruotang clenched his fists and said, "Many times, my great-grandfather wanted to recognize him as his teacher, but he would not let go at all. It is clear that as long as we ask questions, Master Wujin will answer them carefully, but why is he unwilling to accept a disciple?"
She really doesn't understand. Are they not sincere enough? Or are they too stupid?
"My great-grandfather decided to move to Shanhai Planet. He wants to find Master Wujin and ask him to accept us as his disciples!"
"Even if he rejects us again, we still want to give it a try! We have to know why Master Wujin is unwilling to accept us."
Nanxi gave her an encouraging look, "Come on! You are so perseverant, I will definitely impress your master Wujin."
She thought for a while and said: "I have a friend who should know Wu Jin. How about I go ask him when I have time and give you a hint? First find out why he is unwilling to accept a disciple, so that you can also
So you can find the key points.”
"Really?" Chu Ruotang was extremely surprised, "Sister Nanxi, thank you so much!"
"I'll go see if he has time tomorrow, and I'll ask him when I have time. But..." Nanxi gave Chu Ruotang a vaccination first, "Don't be too happy too early, I don't know if I
Is that friend familiar with Wujin?"
Chu Ruotang suppressed the excitement in his heart, "It doesn't matter, I understand everything! Sister Nanxi, you can take your time, we are not in a hurry, we can wait!"
"okay, I get it."
Nan Xi smiled, it was not a matter of availability, in fact she also had her own selfish motives, she wanted to have a good reason to go to Bai Zhen.
Now, although Bai Zhen has agreed to join her cousin's entertainment company, his cousin has not come yet, and Bai Zhen has not officially signed the contract. It is not easy for her to find a reason to approach Bai Zhen.
Chu Ruotang was really happy.
I didn’t expect that the first day on Shanhai Planet would go so smoothly!
"Sister Nanxi, it's almost time for dinner, why don't you come to our house for dinner! My great-grandfather's cooking is delicious!" Chu Ruotang put aside his initial shyness and warmly invited Nanxi.
Chu Ruotang felt that his great-grandfather could have been a chef if he had not focused solely on carving.
"Why is this so embarrassing?"
"How could it be? Just think of it as thanking you!" Chu Ruotang held Nan Xi's hand and regarded her as a good sister.
"Come on, come on, my great-grandfather was very kind! And how lonely are you at home alone?"
Nan Xi was really too kind to refuse, "Okay then."
Anyway, it would be boring for her to stay alone in her new residence, so she might as well go visit her!
"Then wait for me for a while, and I'll bring something with you." It's your first time visiting a house, so you have to bring something with you, otherwise it will be rude.
Nanxi thought for a while, and brought the bottle of white sugar she had promised before, plus some gadgets she bought in a special tourist town, and a box in the refrigerator of ginkgo fruits picked and brought back from Baiyuan.
