God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 1501

The takeaway for lunch was ordered from a nearby hotel. The dishes were quite rich, and it cost less than 1000 yuan, and it was Xu Jingxing's private account.

After eating and drinking enough, Xu Jingxing continued to teach Anxin how to polish the seal, and taught him some common sense and skills in seal cutting, which is of course very entry-level.

In fact, with An Xin's current level of engraving, even if there is no one to teach you, you can get started by groping around. Entry-level seal cutting is really simple. Many new inventions have greatly lowered the threshold of craftsmanship. Electric knife sharpening is the most typical one. In the seal carving industry, the "watermark stone method" is such a new-age technique that makes craftsmanship easier.

What is watermark stone method?
It is a technique that uses water-absorbing paper to leave marks directly on the surface of the stone. Since the birth of water-absorbing paper, the craft of seal cutting has become quite cheap. Learn, if combined with tools such as automatic printing, a novice can carve a seal that can reach the passing level in a short time.

The specific process is simpler than foundry.

To put it bluntly, it is actually the traditional water crossing method, but the traditional water crossing method uses ordinary rice paper, but now uses special printing paper with higher efficiency and more accurate watermarking effect. The text written on the printing paper is pasted on the printing paper. It can leave very clear handwriting after it is placed on the stone, which is better than the handwriting of many seal carvers.

When engraving, seal carving craftsmen will get the content to be engraved on the seal stone in advance, and most seal carvers use the reverse writing method, that is, write the content to be engraved on the seal stone based on experience and ability, and then write it according to the writing. The lines that go up are carved.Only a small number of people will use the relatively inefficient water crossing method.

But after the birth of the special watermark on stone paper, this procedure will no longer be a problem, on the contrary it will become very simple, it can be said that it is a general change of the natural moat.

Nowadays, most people will choose this method when they learn seal cutting.

If there is no one to point out, Anxin will be no exception.

It's a pity that An Xin is Xu Jingxing's apprentice. When laying the foundation, Xu Jingxing would never allow his apprentice to use this kind of method that he thought was completely opportunistic. He was also worried about this, so he mentioned it before An Xin learned seal cutting. Click it, so that the girl will not go astray without his knowledge.

Of course, seal cutting is not so simple.

The reason why seal cutting is called seal cutting is that "seal" is a very important element. If a seal cutting craftsman can only carve seals in simplified characters, he will be laughed out of his teeth.

Therefore, if An Xin wants to learn seal cutting, according to Xu Jingxing's high standard requirements, he must learn seal characters first, not to mention memorizing seal characters dictionary, he must also be familiar with most of seal characters, at least he can feel familiar when seeing them, and then look up You can find the relevant information as quickly as possible, and it would be even more embarrassing if you can't find the correct corresponding word after looking through the dictionary for a long time.

But Xu Jingxing also said, "Apprentice, getting started with seal cutting is very easy, but it is very difficult to master it, so I will not force you. If you are interested in this craft, you can dabble in it. It doesn't matter if you are not interested. Don't force it. , it is very, very rare for you to be able to reach your current level in just three years. You can spend a certain amount of time consolidating your current level. Even if you really want to learn other skills, you can wait a few years. Now you have an understanding That's fine, you're still young, just 20 years old."

An Xin pouted: "Master, I'm 21."

"Uh, well, it turned out to be 21, time flies, but 21 is still very young, your master and I are both children, let alone you."

"Master, you are so childish, doesn't my teacher dislike you?"

"What do you know? It's called childlike innocence. It's the most rare thing. It's too late for your mistress to like it."

"...Do not bring dog food to apprentices."

"Haha."

When the master and apprentice were bickering while teaching, Zheng Sijin knocked on the door and came in: "Boss, the lady boss is calling you, there are guests."

"Okay," Xu Jingxing told An Xin a few more words, and then left the workshop, came to the living room, and saw a gray-haired aunt, in her 50s, but her figure was still in good condition, with light makeup and gray hair The hair has been permed but not dyed, and the hairstyle is a bit old-fashioned but very temperamental.

Zhenghuan, the old lady was chatting with Jin Xiaoxiao, when she saw Xu Jingxing, she greeted her with a smile: "Boss Xiao Xu, I finally met a real person. He is so handsome and fits well with Xiaoxiao."

This old lady can talk.

Jin Xiaoxiao hurriedly introduced: "Jing Xing, this is Aunt Sun Yuying, who is also from Daocheng, a famous painter in China, and a regular customer of ours. She has been taking care of the business of Daocheng store in the past two years, and also gave advice. Feel free to draw."

Upon hearing this, Xu Jingxing understood.

The regular customers of the Daocheng store, those with a little money, get along very well with Jin Xiaoxiao and An Xin, otherwise Jin Xiaoxiao wouldn't call her auntie.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly greeted: "Hello, Aunt Sun, I thank you for An Xin."

"Hello, hello, don't be polite. An Xin's child is very talented and very likable. If I hadn't already accepted you as my teacher, I would have taken her as my apprentice."

"It can be accepted now, I don't mind, I wish she could find more famous teachers to guide her."

"I dare not call myself a famous teacher in front of you." Sun Yuying was very polite, but her words were also very sincere. It was completely different from the politeness of Liu Qingcheng who met in the morning, and it was not offensive at all.

Xu Jingxing would only show more kindness to such a communicative person.

What's more, Sun Yuying, a well-cultivated old man, can't be too kind to him. He liked to get along with such easy-going old men and women before, and felt that he could always learn a lot of life experience from them. , now with his vision and ability, he no longer needs to absorb any nutrients, but that habit and mentality are still retained.

Even though he had never heard of Sun Yuying's name, Jin Xiaoxiao called him a domestically famous painter, and he thought he was a well-known existence, so there was absolutely nothing wrong with being polite.

He is not a hedgehog, he will not prick wherever he goes.

After being polite, he tentatively asked, "Why is Aunt Sun coming here when you are free?"

"Didn't you see the news on your official website? I rushed over after lunch."

"Do you want to buy a chapter?"

"I'm not buying it, but I want to order one. I'll pay for the materials myself. I wonder if you're free?"

"Did you bring the ingredients?"

"Here." Sun Yuying took out a small printing box from her bag, opened it and pushed it in front of Xu Jingxing: "I met it when I was traveling in Changhua last year. I liked it very much. I bought it directly, but I haven't been able to find it. The seal carver of Pu, has been vacant."

Xu Jingxing picked up the seal in the box and looked at it. It was a blank bloodstone seal. This blank seal was not small in size, thicker than an adult's thumb. It was a square cylinder with a side length of about two centimeters and a height close to Eight centimeters, which is a relatively large size among conventional seals, no matter how big it is, it is not suitable for carrying and using.

Moreover, this seal is not only big, but also very delicate in texture. It is a wood-grained frozen ground. Where there is no blood, you can see a clear texture similar to the texture of pine wood, which looks very textured.

But the most valuable thing is that the blood content of this blank seal is very high, around 30.00% five, and 80.00% of one vertical surface is covered with flake blood, the blood color is very bright, like a morning glow, the visual effect is very It stands out and is beautiful.

In addition, this blank chapter has been polished, and it is also covered with a wax layer, making the surface luster extremely oily.

If you don't look at the seal surface, this is a pretty perfect seal.

He really didn't expect that there were blank seals of this level on the market. He always believed that materials of this level should either exist in the form of rough stones, or be directly carved into finished seals.

But after thinking about it, I think it is normal, because most of the chicken blood stones are used to make seals. If you buy raw stones directly, you will lose a little bit. In this way, you can make semi-finished seals after cutting to maximize profits. This is similar to that in the jade industry. I feel that most jade carvers will make the jade materials in their hands into regular objects such as bracelets, ring faces, and brands.

It's all about food.

It's just that the price of this semi-finished seal is probably not low.

It's a pity that it's better to ask less about such a relatively private matter. Although Sun Yuying looks very easy-going, if she doesn't want to answer, the atmosphere will be awkward.

So he nodded: "It can be done, and you can wait for it. Of course, the premise is that you have prepared the printed text."

Sun Yuying smiled and said, "The layout of a line of poetry has not yet been decided."

"We can communicate, anyway, I have nothing to do today."

"That couldn't be better," Sun Yuying looked very happy, "But, can it really be done so quickly?"

"Absolutely no problem. If the layout can be designed earlier, it will only be faster," Xu Jingxing said, taking out the pen and paper from under the coffee table. He asked silently, "Which poem did you prepare?"

"Don't dislike the poor road, the sound of self-love waving his stick," Sun Yuying replied with a smile, while looking at Xu Jingxing, as if asking if she knew the origin of this poem.

Xu Jingxing smiled: "The rain washes Dongpo, the moonlight is clear, the city's people walk like wild people, don't dislike walking on the Potou road, the sound of self-love and the sound of waving sticks, Su Dongpo's "Dongpo"."

Sun Yuying clapped her palms and praised: "I've heard people say that you are knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and you really deserve your reputation."

"Hey, it's just a good memory, not to mention that this poem is so famous, you can recite it casually with peace of mind."

"You, talking about such a difficult thing so easily and naturally, we ordinary people are very shocked," Sun Yuying said with a wry smile: "Since I decided to choose this poem for printing, I have talked with many people, Colleagues, peers, and students are all cultural people, but only two people can casually say the title of the poem and give the first half of the sentence. Most of them don't know whose poem it is, and have no impression in their minds. One doesn't even know the third word."
