Chapter 163 The future master of jade carving

It’s New Year’s Eve today, and Lao Mo is here to wish you all your brothers and sisters a happy New Year, happiness for your family, good health and success in your career!

The Ancient Porcelain Research Institute where Cai Yi is located is located in the southwest corner of the Palace Museum, and is backed by research units such as the Palace Opera Institute.

Here, there is a large parking lot for people inside the museum to park vehicles.

In less than ten minutes, the door of Cai Yi's office was violently pushed open. A middle-aged man with a beard, wearing a cotton pajama, and rushing in with a pair of cotton drag under his feet.

"Brother Cai, where is it? Where is the material?" As soon as the man entered the door, he clamored loudly and rushed towards Cai Yi. If Cai Yi hadn't been by his side just now, he would have thought that this man was a terrorist.

However, the man did not pounce on Cai Yi, because halfway through, his attention was attracted by the three pieces of material placed on the table, one large, one middle and one small. Then the man seemed to be caught in his soul, staring at his eyes, rushed to Cai Yi's desk like the wind, and he leaned forward, and could no longer move away.

Cai Yi smiled and said to Yang Jing, "This guy is Jiang Bin, who is the Jing School jade carving master I just mentioned."

Yang Jing grinned and whispered: "Uncle Cai, are you sure this is a jade carving master? Tsk tsk, this is the first time I have seen a jade carving master dragging out in a pajama cotton. This skilled master is indeed different from others..."

Cai Yi chuckled and patted Yang Jing, and whispered: "Your kid's mouth! Let me tell you, Jiang Bin usually pays great attention to appearance. He must have been scared by what I said just now, and he came here before he even had time to change his clothes."

After a pause, Cai Yi continued to whisper: "Jiang Bin's father was the son of Mr. Jiang, who was specifically responsible for ancient arts and crafts in our courtyard. When Mr. Jiang was alive, he was a leading figure in the Beijing-style jade carving in China, and Mr. Jiang himself was also very proficient in ancient jade art. However, his youngest son Jiang Bin only inherited Mr. Jiang's talent in jade carving, and was not very outstanding in other aspects. Maybe because he had only one skill, Jiang Bin's skills in jade carving were already better than his aptitude.

Yu Lan. Even Mr. Jiang said before he died of illness that if his son could develop according to the current situation, he would be able to enter the house at around fifty and become a generation of jade carving masters. Now it seems that Mr. Jiang’s judgment of his son was correct. Jiang Bin’s level in jade carving is now just a short shot. When he can take this last step, then a master-level jade carving master will appear again in a hundred years later."

Yang Jing said in surprise: "So amazing?"

Cai Yi nodded with certainty and said, "It's so amazing! If Binzi can take that last step, then he can be comparable to the four monsters and one demons of the Jing School Jade Carving."

Yang Jing was also shocked. Although he didn't understand jade carvings, he had also heard of the name of "Four Monsters and One Demon" in the Beijing-style jade carvings. They were all master-level jade carving masters! Now Cai Yi actually said that this man wearing cotton pajamas and pulling cotton has the chance to be comparable to the "Four Monsters and One Demon". That really corresponds to the old saying - people should not behave like appearance!

"Brother Cai, whose are these three pieces of materials?" Jiang Bin, who was still watching these three pieces of materials just now, suddenly turned around and asked.

Cai Yi walked up with a smile, patted Jiang Bin's shoulder and said, "Binzi, come on, let me introduce you. This young man is Yang Jing, from Tianqu. The three pieces of material you see are Xiao Yang's. Xiao Yang, this is the Jiang Bin I mentioned to you. His father had a very good relationship with Mr. Yang back then..."

Hearing Cai Yi point out the relationship between Mr. Jiang Bin and Mr. Yang, Yang Jing immediately called "Uncle Jiang" respectfully.

Jiang Bin's crazy spirit just now disappeared. Although his clothes were still speechless, he became gentle and kind.

"Hello Xiao Yang, I'm very happy to know you."

When Yang Jing's hand was held with Jiang Bin's hand, Yang Jing could clearly feel the power in Jiang Bin's hand and the rough calluses.

"Xiao Yang, can you leave these three pieces of material to me? I promise to make it beautiful for you." Jiang Bin should be a very generous person. Since he met Yang Jing, he did not intend to beat around the bush, but directly expressed his meaning.

"You know, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find good materials nowadays. You can take out three top-quality materials in your hand at once. For those who do jade carving, it is like food to Taotie, which makes us unable to stop. I have also had many good designs in the past two years, but it is because I have not had good materials. Now, Xiao Yang, your three materials, especially this large material, have given me a very strong creative impulse, so Xiao Yang, please tell me about these three materials and leave them to me for processing!"

Yang Jing glanced at Cai Yi, Cai Yi nodded with a smile, and then Yang Jing said, "Uncle Jiang, don't worry first, let's talk slowly, can we have a good time?"

Only then did Jiang Bin realize that he seemed to be too anxious, and smiled embarrassedly, and then sat on the sofa.

Yang Jing smiled and said, "Uncle Jiang, you were called by Uncle Cai. Although I have never seen your craftsmanship before, since Uncle Cai can recommend you, I must believe in your craftsmanship. Since Uncle Cai can trust your craftsmanship, I can certainly trust you too. I can leave these three pieces of materials to you, but I have my requirements. I hope you can consider your design on the premise of meeting my requirements. Do you think it is?"

Jiang Bin said, "You can talk about your requirements first."

Yang Jing said: "Actually, my requirement is very simple. I want to make four large ring faces with a diameter of 1.8 cm. It is best to make two more pendants for the remaining material. As for the smaller piece of Hetian jade, I came up with a few bracelets, and the rest can be made into jade tokens, but the jade tokens cannot be made into pendants. As for the large piece of material, I don't know what to do, so I will leave it to you to deal with it."

When Jiang Bin heard this, his face suddenly became clear and he said with a smile: "Your request is fine. As long as you are willing to hand over that big piece of material to me for processing, I promise to carve a large ornament that has passed down from generation to generation! But to be honest, although your little Hetian jade is not as good as this big Hetian jade, if it is used as a ornament, it will definitely be much higher than a bracelet, and jade plaque. Xiao Yang, you use this little Hetian jade as a bracelet and jade plaque to say that it is a bit of a waste of resources!"

Yang Jing smiled and said, "Uncle Jiang, I bought these materials, so I wanted to make a good item for my family to wear. For me, high-value ornaments are better than making my family wear happy bracelets, ring faces, and jade plaques, so..."

Jiang Bin gesturing to Yang Jing, said, "Okay, I know what you mean. Don't worry, I will make what you want according to your requirements. But the number you want is too large, and it may take four or five days to make it."

"Uncle Jiang, just do it slowly. I'm not in a hurry. Just do the work slowly..."
