God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 127 Focus
When Xu Jingxing started to do it, he forgot about the existence of old man He.

When he was working, he was mostly in this state of not listening to the outside world and only caring the stone in front of him. If he didn't even have this kind of concentration, how could he create so many high-quality carvings?

In fact, not only doing sculpture, but also doing everything requires concentration. If the concentration is not enough, it is destined not to be a great tool.

When all the attention is focused on one thing, time flies by.

When he was woken up by the doorbell, he realized that it was already noon, the little girl came back from school for lunch, and old man He had already closed the kitchen door and quietly made lunch.

"Master Xiao Xu, don't you take a break? Drink some tea and continue after eating," Old Man He greeted warmly.

Xu Jingxing shook his neck and nodded, "Thank you, Mr. He."

"Hey, don't say anything about He Lao He, listen to the birth, just call me Lao He," Old Man He said with a smile.

Xu Jingxing was ashamed. He didn't dare to call Lao He directly. First of all, the relationship between them was not close. Although they had similar tastes and admired each other, after all, they had only known each other for a few days, and they didn't even know what the other person's name was. Calling Lao He was too impolite. , among other things, he couldn't shout that at Old Man He's age.

So I thought about it and said, "Call you Uncle He."

"Oh, that's a good relationship, but it will make you two generations older, and my daughter will not be able to call you uncle, so I have to change my words."

"Hahaha, it's just right, nannie, remember to call me brother in the future," Xu Jingxing said with a smile to nannie who was serving the dishes.

The little girl pursed her lips and smiled, "Brother Xu."

"Hey, it feels so good to be young," Xu Jingxing smiled exaggeratedly.

After washing their hands, the three of them sat down at the dining table. Xu Jingxing looked at the table full of dishes and said with a smile, "Uncle He not only writes well in big characters, but also his cooking skills are quite good."

"Haha, that's it," Old Man He laughed triumphantly, then picked up a stewed red prawn and put it in Xu Jingxing's bowl, "Try it."

Xu Jingxing hurriedly said thank you, and motioned to the grandpa and grandson to eat quickly, then peeled it off and tasted it, then nodded with satisfaction, "It's very fragrant, the fire is just right, Uncle He's accomplishments are higher than what he looks like, and he has a good cooking skill." Essence."

"Hahaha, eat, eat," old man He laughed.

At the dinner table, Xu Jingxing made witty remarks, kept teasing old man He, and said a few words to the little girl from time to time, the atmosphere was very harmonious.

After eating, Xu Jingxing helped to pack the plates and dishes into the kitchen, and when she came out, the little girl had already made tea, but this time she did not use a glass cup as she did on the first day, but replaced it with Zisha teapot.

The purple clay teapot was also a good teapot. Xu Jingxing didn't know much about purple clay teapots, but when he took a closer look and saw a plum blossom engraved on the humble teapot, his eyes lit up because there were only a few strokes on the plum blossom. , It looks very simple, but it is just these few strokes that portray the arrogance and independence of plum blossoms. The brushwork, or the knife technique, is so skillful that even he feels ashamed of himself. No master can do it.

In other words, this seemingly inconspicuous purple clay pot is very likely to be the work of a certain master.

In his impression, purple sand teapots have always been luxury goods, especially masterpieces, which are sold at sky-high prices, especially those works by famous master potmakers, ranging from hundreds of thousands to as many as Tens of millions or even over [-] million, the market is very hot. Although there is a certain suspicion of hype, it is also an iron fact that high-quality purple clay teapots are very popular.

When he came across such a good thing, he couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

Seeing this, old man He asked with a smile: "Like it?"

Xu Jingxing coughed, "This pot is pretty good, it's a treasure, shouldn't it be cheap?"

"I'll give it to you if you like it," Old Man He said seriously.

He didn't answer whether he likes it or not just now, but he was worried that Old Man He would say such a thing, and accepting it was definitely unacceptable. Accepting such a heavy gift for no reason would burn his hands.

But I didn't expect that old man He would say that. I don't know if it is really generous or he knows that he will not accept it at all.But no matter what the situation is, he has to refuse. If it gets out, others will think that he is spying on old man He's property.

So I shook my head without even thinking about it, "Master, you dare to give it away, but I dare not take it."

"What are you afraid of? Actually, it's not a valuable thing. An old friend of mine is a pot maker. I returned this pot with a meal," Old Man He explained with a smile.

"That's not OK."

"How about I let that old guy do it for you too?"

"No, sir, this topic can be stopped here," Xu Jingxing quickly stopped the topic, who knows why the old man He is so enthusiastic about him, although there is a little fate from a week ago, the two of them are considered to be hits, but the relationship But he is not familiar enough to give away valuables at will.

Seeing this, old man He stopped talking and changed the subject to chatting.

Only then did Xu Jingxing heave a sigh of relief, and after his nannie went to school, he continued to work in the study.

This bloodstone seal has been basically formed, the rough blank has been made, and it has been polished for the first time. The next thing to do is to dig, that is, to finely engrave, to further polish the words and pictures on the seal, and to repair it. Polish it, then sand it again, finally wax it, sand it again, and you're done.

In fact, the most time-consuming process of doing these handicrafts is polishing, waxing and other processes. important.

This is true for wood carving works, as well as for jade carving works. Stone carving works such as chicken blood stone rely more on the two processes of polishing and waxing, because the quality of these stone materials is not as good as jade.

In addition, the hardness of bloodstone is very low, roughly similar to that of human nails. You need to be extra careful when polishing it. If you are not careful, the previously carved patterns will be worn away. It must be done by a skilled worker like Xu Jingxing. A novice can destroy this treasure hundreds of times in a minute.

At around six o'clock in the evening, this bloodstone seal was finally completed, and the seal still had the residual temperature from waxing. Holding it in the palm of your hand and looking at the blood-red patches, it felt very strange.

It was also at this time that this valuable chicken blood stone fully presented its amazing charm in front of the three of them. The little girl just came back from school, and when she saw this seal, she covered her mouth in surprise, "Little Uncle Xu, is this really the rock from before?"

Xu Jingxing pretended to be displeased with a straight face, "Didn't you agree to call me brother?"
