Chapter 293 Basic Skills

Yu Lifei took the disc stone and broke the stone while walking out. Although the stone was extremely hard, in his hands with internal strength, it was as crisp as plaster, and he could break it as he wanted. The outer skin was quickly peeled off, and a piece of crystal clear and green imperial glass-like jade material appeared in Yu Lifei's palm.

"Old Hua, I am Xiaoyu. I have about three kilograms of imperial green in my hand. Can you please take a look?" Yu Lifei called Mr. Hua.

Although he is short of money now, with Mr. Hua’s three million, his problem has been solved. Although Mo Zhenjun’s five million cannot be paid for the time being, it is easy to solve it as long as he goes back. And it is rare to ask Mr. Hua to carve a piece of jade for him.

"Of course, I'll come to find you wherever you are." Boss Hua was overjoyed. Unexpectedly, Yu Lifei, who was still carrying the Emperor Green on his body. He didn't expect that this was what Yu Lifei had just obtained and he didn't even warm up.

"How dare you come here? I'll send it here." Yu Lifei said with a smile.

"Xiaoyu, this piece of jade material is a bit strange." After seeing the jade material, Mr. Hua said strangely.

Although this piece of jade material has not been polished, the internal situation is clear at a glance. What surprised him was that this piece of jade material was neither cut nor ground, with an irregular surface, and it seemed to knock down the shell with a hammer. However, if you knocked with a hammer, it would be easy to break the jade material inside.

"Is there any problem with Yu?" Yu Lifei asked nervously.

"No, I really want to know how this piece of jade was taken out." Mr. Hua was a carving master, and the place he observed was naturally different from other people. Most people would only pay attention to the water planting and glass-type imperial green. Who would observe the surface of the jade? Moreover, these surfaces would be removed in the end.

"I took it with my hand grinding wheel. It was not very professional, so Mr. Hua laughed at me." Yu Lifei said.

"What do you want to carve this imperial green?" Mr. Hua didn't believe Yu Lifei's statement. But since Yu Lifei didn't want to say it, he would no longer investigate it.

"Is it okay to make a few cups or plates?" Yu Lifei asked.

"Mug? plate? Are you going to use it as daily necessities?" Mr. Hua immediately understood what Yu Lifei meant.

"Yes, there are still a few jade products in the house." Yu Lifei said.

"Xiao Yu, it's too extravagant to use imperial green as daily necessities, right?" Mr. Hua said with dissatisfaction that the things he carved are all works of art and are used for appreciation. If they are treated as daily necessities, they will feel insulted.

"Or how about carving a set of wine glasses?" Yu Lifei asked. If the grape wine luminous cup is drunk with imperial green cups, it will definitely be a different feeling.

"Xiaoyu, I always carve things based on the characteristics of jade materials." Mr. Hua said lightly.

"Then please let Mr. Hua do it, but Mr. Hua, I am also very interested in carving. I wonder if I can learn how to carve jade with you?" Yu Lifei said sincerely.

"Learning carving is very hard, cutting, crafting, grinding, and every process must have a solid foundation." Hua Lao said that many people only have three minutes of popularity in learning carving, and they have no artistic foundation. If they cannot calm down and study, how can they succeed easily? Moreover, from this piece of jade, he can see that Yu Lifei has no talent. Yu Lifei is already very rich and cannot calm down and learn carving with himself.

The ancient jade making techniques originated from the making of stone tools. Cutting, crafting, crafting and grinding are the process procedures used for jade tools. Cutting, that is, dissolving materials. Dissolving jade requires using a toothless saw and decomposing jade sand to separate the jade materials. Cultivating is to use a circular saw dipped in mortar to repair it. Carving means carving patterns and drilling holes with drilling tools such as drilling and cones. Grinding is the last process. Use fine wood chip gourd skin and cowhide dipped in pearl mortar and polishing, and the jade will emit a condensed luster.

This set of jade making technology was mastered by craftsmen in the Shang Dynasty. Today's jade carving techniques generally use four methods: cutting, crafting, crafting and grinding. The pre-Qin period was called jade carving, and the Song Dynasty was called jade grinding, and now it is called claying.

"Old Hua, then I will learn some basic things first." Yu Lifei felt that it would be useless to say more. If he really had talent, he believed that Old Hua would not be stingy with his skills.

"This is no problem. If you want to learn, you can play here for a few days tomorrow to see how the people below do things. You can learn the basic skills of jade carving from them." Mr. Hua said. After all, Yu Lifei was able to sell him the high green ice seed, which was considered to be a face. If Yu Lifei only learned some basic skills, he would not refuse.

Yu Lifei originally wanted to rush back to Yangcheng overnight, but when he heard Mr. Hua say this, he stayed in Zhou Ping that night. Early the next morning, he arrived at Mr. Hua's carving factory. Yu Lifei was authorized to visit the factory and ask the workers at will.

Yu Lifei put down his methods in the factory and took the initiative to make friends with workers. He quickly learned about the process of jade carving. The general requirements for jade making are: pay attention to the quality of material and the quality of color fracturing and thallium base. The techniques include cutting, grinding, line starting, rolling grooves, hollowing, pipe drilling, drilling and hooking, rolling, top, bumping, digging and ring removal. The jade carving process is usually divided into five processes: material selection, design, polishing, polishing and waxing, with the most complex design and carving.

When choosing jade carving materials, we should pay attention to the quality and size of the jade material, and we should not have large cracks or flaws. Designers should not only understand art design, but also understand the characteristics of various jades, such as toughness or brittleness, hardness, thermal sensitivity, chemical stability, crack development, defect extension, etc., in order to truly ensure the final realization of their design, otherwise it is likely to die halfway.

Jade carving design is generally divided into two processes: rough painting and fine painting. Coarse painting is to directly draw the shape and pattern on the jade before starting to think about it. Fine painting is to draw the local detailed requirements in the production so that the producer can understand the design intention. After drawing the design drawings on the jade, you can start processing. Design emphasizes talent. If you do not have a good idea, even if the carving is well ground, the carved things will not have aura.

Practice is a major process of making shapes according to the design requirements. During operation, it is usually divided into two processes: cutting and carving. Cutting means using cutting tools to remove the edges and edges other than the design outline. The carving and grinding process is to create the design shape, and its basic techniques and steps are punching, grinding, rolling, hooking, etc.

Punching refers to a larger area of ​​grinding. Grinding means using blunt grinding of different sizes to create large samples. That is, grinding out the outline shapes of the main parts of the design, such as the head, hands and body of the character, etc. Punching refers to deep grinding. That is, using blunt rolling to create the three-dimensional feeling of the finer parts, such as opening the face of the character's head, rolling out the mouth, nose, ears, etc. Hook means using hooks to thallium to hook out the fine patterns, such as the character's hair, bird feathers and dragon scales, etc.

When thinking about the design and shape of jade, it also needs to be polished. Finally, it is to overwax and decoration. When jade carving products are proposed from the wax liquid, you must carefully wipe the excess wax liquid, especially the depressions of jade carvings, so that the jade carving crafts shines brightly. For jade carving crafts, overwax is not the end. It also needs to be equipped with appropriate wooden seats and brocade boxes to complete the decoration of the jade, which is the real completion.

In the morning, Yu Lifei devoted himself to asking everyone for advice. He had a martial arts foundation and his hands were unparalleled. As long as he mastered various skills and carved, his skills made rapid progress. Guanyin is the most common pendant. The same jade quality, the value of the carving will be more than ten times different. Yu Lifei learned from a master in the afternoon and carved a small Guanyin.

Because Yu Lifei was carving for the first time, he did not choose too good jade. Perhaps he didn't have to worry about any losses, Yu Lifei was very relaxed. His movements were a little unfamiliar at the beginning, but slowly, the speed became faster and faster. From 3 pm, from 6 pm, Yu Lifei finished carving this Guanyin in one go.

Originally, Yu Lifei wanted to show it to Mr. Hua, but Mr. Hua was looking at his imperial green, and had already locked himself in the room and told him not to disturb him. Yu Lifei had to leave his work here and ask Mr. Hua to give him some advice. This was his first work. He originally wanted to keep it for himself, but he really wanted Mr. Hua to give him some advice. At the same time, he also reminded the people here that he wanted to buy this Guanyin pendant and paid the money in advance.

After returning to Yangcheng, Zheng Falei and Lao Wang had packed all the antiques that Yu Lifei bought, including the thirty additional antiques that Yangcheng Cultural Relics Company had. Lao Wang took Yu Lifei's two cigarettes and at least returned them to Yu Lifei. After Yu Lifei invited Huang Wenqing and Dong Tianlin for a meal in the evening, he escorted five vans back to Tanzhou. More than 3,000 antiques were loaded with five cars mainly because some antiques, such as beds and chairs, took up space. There were also some bottles that could not be squeezed or pressed. He paid more than 10,000 yuan just by packing them.

When he set out from Yangcheng, it was around 8 o'clock in the evening, but he did not arrive in Tanzhou until 11 o'clock the next morning. Every three hours, Yu Lifei asked for a half hour rest. He strictly limited the speed. He sat in the first car and Zheng Fale was in the last car. The speed of all cars could not exceed sixty yards.

And at two o'clock in the morning, he asked all drivers to go to the service area to rest. He did not get back on the road until after 6 o'clock. After entering Tanzhou, Yu Lifei did not let the truck go to the antique market. He entered more than 3,000 antiques at once. If he was seen by his peers, it would probably lower the price of antiques in the entire Tanzhou.

"Lifei, the three million that I had received last night had already arrived, and I withdrew 20,000. In addition, I made an appointment with the bank today and would go to withdraw one million cash tomorrow." Huang Yan was waiting for Yu Lifei in the villa. Five trucks entered Tanshanhua, and the noise was very loud.

"Okay. The rooms have been cleaned up, right?" Yu Lifei asked.
