Su Ge seldom had the opportunity to sculpt with such a good material. At this time, he sat cross-legged on the ground, concentrating like a child who got his favorite toy.

Good material is really different when carved.Holding this piece of waxy ice jadeite, Su Ge felt the difference from the materials he carved before. He was both envious and jealous of Shen Yu, and at the same time felt a little pity.Such a good material, if you don't know how to carve it, don't waste it, it's too wasteful, too wasteful.

After calming down, Su Ge carefully sculpted Guanyin's face and hair. He didn't find it difficult to do such a delicate work.

"The hardness of jadeite is between 6.5 and 7.5 on the Mohs scale. It is hard and somewhat burly. It takes a lot of work to carve, but it can be carved to a very fine level without breaking." Su Ge admired the hand as he sculpted. The hardness of this piece of jade is just right. "It's not good for agate and hibiscus stones, which are too brittle and easy to crack if carved carefully. Malachite and the like are soft, and difficult to polish when carved delicately."

Shen Yu was at the side, seeing Su Ge's eyes fixed on the jadeite in his hand from beginning to end, not sure if he was talking to himself or the jadeite in his hand.

Su Ge carefully portrayed Guanyin's face, leaving a large area of ​​blank space on the body, and the wide-sleeved long clothes did not take too much effort.

After a long time, he put down the carving knife, inspected the Guanyin statue that he had formed, and said with a smile: "Okay, after polishing, it will be the finished product."

Turning his stiff neck, Su Ge handed the Avalokitesvara statue to Shen Yu.

Shen Yu took it, and saw that the Avalokitesvara statue in front of him hadn't been polished yet, but he could already tell that it had a quiet expression, a plump body, and a very soft shape.

"Sophisticated but not ordinary, clever but not vulgar." After watching for a while, Shen Yu commented.

The so-called "things carry Tao, and jade cultivates morality", in this small Guanyin statue, Shen Yu faintly saw the demeanor of only a handful of jade carving masters in the industry.However, the masters are all past or approaching their sixties, and Su Ge is still young.

Shen Yu looked at Su Ge silently. Hearing his comment, Su Ge lifted his chin proudly to show that Shen Yu had vision.

Looking at Su Ge, who looked like a child and proud of himself, Shen Yu felt that Su Ge probably didn't know how much his talent was worth.

A talent like this shouldn't have gone unnoticed.Shen Yu frowned slightly, he also knew something about Su Ge's family. Su Ge's father, Qi Nan, was a talented jewelry designer when he was young. After Su Ge's mother died, he became the chairman of Qingyan Jewelry Company. , this humble designer no longer has the aura of his youth. In recent years, he has not released any jewelry design drafts, and instead concentrates on running and managing the company.

But his youngest son, Qi Yi'an who was born with Su Ge's stepmother, has a good talent in jewelry design.It can be seen that Qi Nan attaches great importance to the talent of his youngest son, and he always takes it with him on social occasions. Accumulating contacts for his youngest son obviously needs to be cultivated vigorously.

In contrast, Su Ge, the original child, is unknown.

Shen Yu hadn't seen the design draft of Su Ge's painting, but he saw that he didn't hesitate when he dropped the knife when carving.Such a well-thought-out carver, no matter how bad the design talent is, it won't be so bad.

So what is the reason, Su Ge's father mistook clam shells for treasure all these years and lost real pearls?

Before Shen Yu could think about it any further, Su Ge joked beside him, "See how much my craftsmanship is worth? Do I have to pay a processing fee or something?"

Shen Yu came back to his senses when he heard his words, thought carefully, and then said: "The craftsmanship is very good, the processing fee... How about choosing a rough stone from the basement?"

Su Ge choked, this is really not ordinary generosity, Shen Yu's rough stones in the basement, all of them look good, the prices are definitely above six figures, and there are quite a few seven figures.Shen Yu said that he could choose a block, and he was not so sure of his craftsmanship.

"I'm joking with you." Su Ge didn't want to take advantage of Shen Yu, changed the subject, and patted the rough stone that he brought down and put next to him, "Okay, I almost forgot the purpose of coming here. of this rock."

"You seem to have great confidence in this material?" Shen Yu said in a rather tactful manner, Su Ge's treasured appearance seemed to predict that there would be some high-quality jadeite inside.

Su Ge proudly said: "That's right, I have a lot of knowledge about gambling stones these days."

Shen Yu was dumbfounded. How many people in this world have been in touch with jadeite for decades, but betting on stones still loses nine times out of ten.If Su Ge said this to other people, they might laugh at him.

Looking at the young man's radiance and clear eyes, Shen Yu's brows and eyes softened a lot: "Have you ever used a stone interpreter? I'll help you."

Su Ge had never used this thing before, thinking that it would be better to learn it when he would interpret stones by himself in the future, so he said, "Then Uncle Shen, teach me."

His ending sound rose a little, somehow giving people the feeling of being coquettish.Shen Yu said "Yes", and picked up the small stone dissolving machine next to him.

This stone interpreter is a little different from the ones Su Ge saw in those jade shops. It is much more delicate, as if it was custom-made.

"This kind of small rock-breaker has a very thin saw blade, so there is basically no loss when cutting stones or jadeite raw materials." After finishing speaking, Shen Yu handed the handle of the stone-breaker to Su Ge.

Su Ge took it, but he didn't expect that the stone interpreter was much heavier than he imagined. His wrist fell down, and he was about to hit his foot. Su Ge was dazed and had no time to dodge.

"Be careful." Shen Yu stood on the left side of Su Ge and caught the stone breaker before it fell.

Shen Yu only held Su Ge's wrist with both hands, just in front of the handle, to help Su Ge stabilize and understand the stone machine.

Su Ge regained his composure and muttered, "It's so heavy."

"It's made of metal, so it's a little heavy." Shen Yu asked, "How do you want to untangle the stone?"

Su Ge still remembered the location of the violet inside. To be on the safe side so as not to damage the jade inside, Su Ge turned his back to Shen Yu and aroused the ability.

With the hot stream pouring into his eyes, he could clearly see what was going on inside the stone.When he closed his eyes and opened them again, Su Ge picked up the chalk next to him and drew a line along the right side of the stone: "Cut directly from this line."

Generally speaking, dissolving stones is a grueling job. After all, you have to carefully consider how to cut without damaging the possible jadeite inside. Often, you have to stop and observe at the cutting point, and then change the direction to consider cutting.It's just that Su Ge can see what's inside, so naturally he doesn't have such troubles.

Shen Yu turned on the stone breaker, and the grinding wheel shook violently with the saw blade, Su Ge frowned with great strength.If it weren't for Shen Yu's help to hold it, Su Ge would have been unable to hold it.

He is also a man, why is Shen Yu so strong?

Su Ge was a little annoyed, he clenched his hand and cut towards the line he drew.

The saw blade stopped on the stone shell. Seeing that his hand holding the handle was shaking like Parkinson's, Su Ge couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.Such violent shaking can easily damage the jade inside.

Su Ge hesitated a little, thinking that if he didn't come to this job, he would not come first, and he would find a professional stone-cleaning master to rest assured.

Shen Yu saw that Su Ge was a little afraid to make a move, one hand rested on the handle, but the other hand was released.

Without the strength of Shen Yu's hand, it shook even more violently.Before Su Ge turned his head to ask, he felt his back leaning against his warm and generous chest. Shen Yu, who was on the left side of Su Ge, came behind Su Ge at some point.

Su Ge was startled, and the next second, Shen Yu's other hand stretched out from his side, surrounding Su Ge.Shen Yu held both hands on the handle of the understanding stone machine, and the violently shaking handle instantly stabilized as if tamed.

The posture of being embraced made Su Ge move uncomfortably, and his original concentration diverged a little.

"Um...Uncle Shen, why don't you come and explain the stone." As Su Ge said, he wanted to lower his body and get out from under Shen Yu's arms.

Unexpectedly, Shen Yu's two powerful arms were drawn together, and Su Ge couldn't move immediately.

"Didn't you say that you want to learn how to interpret stones?" Shen Yu said in Su Ge's ear, her voice was so calm that she couldn't hear the slightest emotion, just like a strict teacher teaching students meticulously.

Su Ge laughed dryly, his heart groaning in agony, he felt that such an old man like Shen Yu really didn't know how strange their posture was.

Seeing Shen Yu's dignified and lonely look, I'm afraid he doesn't like having too much physical contact with others, so how come he doesn't mind at all when he's here?Su Ge muttered in his heart, could it be that he really treated himself as a child, so he was not at all defensive.

Su Ge was thinking wildly, and Shen Yu had already controlled the saw blade to approach the stone shell, and then the two touched, making a slightly harsh sound.

This small calculus machine should have been custom-made by Shen Yu at a large price, and it was much better than the ones Su Ge had in those shops on Yushi Street.The saw blade is very thin, and there is almost no splash of stone when it is cut, only some stone powder overflows from the joint between the saw blade and the stone skin, and occasionally some splashes.This kind of small stone powder will not feel too much when it hits the skin, and the risk of injury is greatly reduced.

"Close your eyes."

Su Ge was watching this advanced stone-dissolving machine with relish, when he heard Shen Yu's voice ringing in his ears, Su Ge knew that he was afraid that the stone powder would fly into his eyes.

He closed his eyes obediently, and then Su Ge felt a little regretful.

The tactile sensation behind him becomes more pronounced as his vision disappears.There was warm breath on the neck, and Shen Yu's head was above his left shoulder, with hair poking on his cheek, itching.

He wrapped his arms around himself, and the illusion of being embraced made Sugar fidget.

Su Ge hesitated for a while, and was about to let Shen Yu let go, when he heard a slight "click", and then the stone breaker was turned off, and the sound of the grinding wheel turning disappeared.

Su Ge shuddered, realizing that the stone had been cut, and the patter just now was the sound of the stone falling.
