Things happen today.

Because of the lack of soy sauce, that night, Hou Jia didn't eat the old butler's best braised pork, and even the braised fish that Hou Qi usually liked was forced to be boiled, but it still couldn't hide Hou Jia's taste. of excitement.

After hastily filling his mouth with a few mouthfuls of food, Hou Yan almost immediately entered the room with the jade ingot and scraps sent by Li Siheng.Although he had made some psychological achievements, Hou Yan still took a breath when he saw the scraps piled up in several boxes.

He probably also knew that Li Siheng was extremely generous to him, but the so-called "practice for him" in front of him were all high-quality jadeite pieces, which were obviously left over from making large pieces.In another box, more than a hundred bracelet cores were neatly placed.

The bracelet core is the round core left after the material is taken out of the bracelet, and the industry does not count it as scrap material.Because after processing, the bracelet core can be carved into various jadeite brands, which are very valuable.If the quality of the seed water is more clear and beautiful, and it is simply polished into nostalgic or safe buttons, the price will soar even more.

Most of the bracelet cores that Li Siheng sent were not bad in quality, and it was fine if they were used to express nostalgia directly.However, he sent them directly as leftovers, which can be called a big deal.

Hou Yan possessed the affection of the original owner, so he could no longer treat Li Siheng as lightly. Li Siheng's behavior made him feel a strange sweetness in his heart.Weakly spreading his hands and smiling, he really didn't want to provoke Li Siheng.But they always meet again and again, it is really a trick of fate.

Fortunately, Hou Jia remembered the agreement he had made with Li Siheng to share the profits equally. For the current plan, the only way to think about these materials is to prevent Li Siheng from losing money.

Asking the maid at home to bring a small basin of clean water, Hou Jia dug out the charcoal pencils he used for drawing.When carving, most of the patterns are drawn with ink first, but Hou Jia has been in the field of jade carving for more than ten years, and some simple small flower pieces can be carved directly without drawing lines, so he doesn't care about charcoal and ink.

The first thing he chose was a piece of material. This piece of material was translucent and looked a bit plain, but the most eye-catching thing was a floating flower slanted from the lower left corner of the material.The blue floating flowers are embedded in the ice-like colorless jadeite, appearing agile and elegant.Hou Yan unpacked the small bag and soaked the piece, which was less than half the size of a palm, in water.

After entering the water, the material looks more transparent, and the lingering blue inside is almost flowing.Hou Yan wiped off the water droplets on the material, and waited to carefully observe its cracks.

Jadeite is a naturally formed ore, and small cracks are inevitable.This is also the place where the jade carvers are most tested. Some jade carvers deal with the cracks very simply and rudely. If they dig out the cracks hastily, it becomes the so-called "crack-avoiding carving", and the value of jadeite will be greatly reduced because of this.

But some jade carvers are not. They cleverly use the cracks to make them part of the design, or quietly remove the cracks during the carving process. It will increase the ornamental and collection value of jadeite to a certain extent.

The piece in Hou Yan's hand is almost perfect for floating flowers and planting water, but unfortunately there are a few fly-wing-shaped cracks on the top.Hou Yan squinted his eyes and looked carefully under the lamp for a moment, then suddenly thought of a countermeasure.

In the previous life, hundreds of materials passed under his hands, and those that could be called perfect were very rare.At the beginning, he would still sigh at the sudden imperfection of the material, but as time passed, he finally honed his quality of not being sad or happy about the jade material.

For jade carvers, they are neither elated by the perfection of jade materials nor lamented by their incompleteness.This is a quality that should be honed, not the original character of every jade carver.

It is the right time to get the perfect jade material and carve it into amazing works.And the weather is often met but not sought.And to get flawed jade materials, and then turn decay into magic, this is most of the real work of jade carvers.

The piece of material in Hou Yan's hand, although it is a piece of material, it can be seen that it is a piece of material from the Beipai bracelet.Most of the jade bracelets from the Northern School are heavy and dignified, so the piece of jade in Hou Jia's hand is not thin.

Hou Yan's original idea was to use this material to make a no-things card, with a dragon ball pattern on the top, drill holes, and wear it directly.However, there are cracks on the top. If you avoid the cracks and carve, the dragon ball style will appear very thin and weird.So after thinking about it, I simply decided to cut this piece of material into two, and it was also a pair of no-thing cards, but the pattern of dragon and phoenix was carved on it.

The pattern of dragon and phoenix is ​​naturally complicated, but there is more space to avoid the cracks on the upper end. The cut-away No Matter card is a bit thin. In the future, gold will be used around the edge to increase the firmness of the No matter card. The nobility of gold contrasts with the auspiciousness of dragon and phoenix, which is also very appropriate.

The dragon and phoenix pattern is more time-consuming and labor-intensive than the dragon ball, but fortunately Hou Yan is for training. Although it is difficult to try such a complicated pattern at the beginning, it is indeed very helpful for Hou Yan who is eager to restore his previous life level. benefit.

Already having an idea in his mind, Hou Yan began to act.

He hasn't touched the jade mound for a long time, but there are some things that seem to have penetrated into his bones and blood from birth.He picked up a pen and drew a line in the middle of the jade material, and then along this line, he raised his knife and fell, without hesitation, and without hesitation, he cut the piece of ice-species jadeite with floating blue flowers in two.

Simply cutting the two pieces of jade into rectangles, Hou Jia picked up a charcoal pen and began to outline them in detail.The draft has been finished, the young man has cold brows and eyes, and his fingers are nimble and quick.The palm-sized jade material was cut into small pieces, only the smiling movement of the young man's wrist and shoulder blades could be seen, and then smooth lines poured out from the young man's fingertips.

The first thing he carved was the phoenix in the Longfeng Wushi card.Although it is generally believed that the lines of the phoenix are more complicated than the dragon's, and the knife skills are more complicated, Hou Jia knows that if there is no transition when carving the phoenix, it will be difficult to show the majesty and charm of the dragon.

The lines drawn by charcoal pens are not as delicate as ink pens, but you can still vaguely see a bit of agility.Hou Jia's phoenix held a strange but beautiful flower in its mouth.Although it was only outlined with thick charcoal lines, the flower was so delicate that it seemed that the stamen could be seen clearly.

This is Hou Yan's habit, he is always used to hiding such a flower in his works.This is a beautiful flower. It is said that there is no such flower that grows beside the Yaochi in the world.

When he was young, Hou Jia remembered that he was held by his master and told stories. The stories went from Pangu opening up the sky to the collapse of the wilderness, and at the end he talked about a lot of strange things like Journey to the West.But Hou Yan only remembered a "Qihua" that was ignored by the master in a few words, and he even imagined its appearance. Since then, it has appeared in every one of his works as a personal imprint.

After finishing these, it is too late.Hou Yan got up and rubbed his sore eyes, and put away the jade mill with some regret.

Jade carving was originally a slow work and meticulous work. Today, his physical strength is almost exhausted. If he persists, it will only affect the whole work.What's more, jade carvers are not impatient, and jade is a difficult material to carve. It is not uncommon for a piece of flower to be polished for dozens of days.

At this moment, Hou Jia's cell phone rang suddenly.

Since his rebirth, few people knew his mobile phone number, and Hou Jia himself was in a hurry, and he never had the desire to contact others eagerly.So, when he suddenly heard the phone ringing, Hou Yan was taken aback for a moment.

The jade in his hand had just passed through the water a few times, so the water stains on Hou Jia's hands were naturally not dry.After wiping his clothes casually, Hou Jia pressed the answer button.

"Not asleep yet?" Some people's voices will be distorted by the transformation of radio waves, but the male voice on the phone doesn't seem to change at all. whispering softly.

Hou Yan was stunned for a moment before he suddenly realized that the caller was Li Siheng, who could be regarded as his current employer.

"Sleeping?" There was no response for a long time, and the male voice that was disconnected from the phone repeated it again.Different from his cold face, Li Siheng at this moment is extraordinarily gentle and patient.

Some raised ending sounds are not frivolous, but seem like a small hook, which makes people feel a little itchy.Hou Yan coughed softly involuntarily, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and fainted away his throat that seemed to be stuck in caramel.

"No, Brother Li."

As expected, Li Siheng was not surprised, but continued to ask with interest, "Then what are you doing? Little Jiuer?"

"Study the film." Hou Yan replied obediently, as if he was a primary school student waiting for praise.

"Well, did you touch the water on your hands? Remember to apply moisturizer." Li Siheng pondered for a moment, and then reminded Hou Jia.

Hou Yan obviously didn't think that Li Siheng would care about this, and after a while, he whispered, "I don't seem to have moisturizer at home."

It's not that the Hou family doesn't have one, but that Hou Jia doesn't.The original owner is a student of painting and takes good care of his hands. There are many types of hand creams at home.But Hou Yan disliked those sweet and greasy tastes, so he put them all on the shelf.

Expecting Hou Jia to say this, Li Siheng said in a deep voice, "In the lower right corner of the box containing the bracelet core, there happens to be a bottle." As if afraid of Hou Jia's disgust, Li Siheng added, "Don't worry, it has no taste. The effect is not bad, I It is also used."

While speaking, Hou Yan had already walked to the box, followed Li Siheng's instructions, and found the box of ointment.After thanking Li Siheng, Hou Jia sat at the desk and unscrewed the cap of the hand cream.

Inside the cap is a soft and white paste. Hou Jia picked a little bit out and rubbed it on the palm of his hand carefully, and then spread it evenly on his ten fingers.I put it under my nose and sniffed it carefully, and it was exactly as Li Siheng said, there was no smell at all.After applying it, the fingers that have been soaked in hand water no longer feel tight, but feel very moist.

Li Siheng.

Hou Yan said the name silently, and for some reason, he felt a stabbing pain in his chest.This sting seemed to come from the original owner, reminding him to stay away from this person.

But, after all, it was futile.

Hou Yan closed his eyes, and massaged the sore eye sockets with his soft white fingers that had been coated with hand cream. He knew that if Hou Yan lived his whole life, even if it was not about Fengyue, he would not be able to avoid the three words Li Siheng.
