Chapter 62
Xu Jingxing didn't know what level his carving level was in the woodcarving industry, but he knew very well that the work efficiency he showed was astonishing, quite astonishing.Not to mention that he stays up late at every turn, even if he works normally, his work efficiency is far higher than that of a normal woodcarver.

This is because his arms are very strong and can be fatigued by long hours of high-intensity work.

But the problem is that only he knows this kind of thing, others don't know, even if he tells others personally, they may not believe it, maybe they have already suspected in their hearts whether he used the machine secretly.

To ordinary people, Xu Jingxing must be too lazy to explain so much, believe it or not.

But what he was doing with Jin Xiaoxiao was not a small business, but a small 20 yuan job, so he naturally had to be more cautious. Although Jin Xiaoxiao didn't seem to doubt him, he couldn't say anything.

Therefore, he intends to take the opportunity of Hu Bin to sow dissension to show his true strength in front of Jin Xiaoxiao, so that she can be completely relieved.At the same time, he slapped Hu mercilessly. Although he didn't pay attention to Hu, he didn't like having such a fly-like guy buzzing around his ears all the time.

As soon as he made this bet, Hu Bin's eyes lit up, "Are you sure?"

Xu Jingxing asked indifferently, "Do you want me to repeat it again?"

Hu Bin pondered for a moment, then reconfirmed: "Are you sure you want to carve a rosary within 10 minutes? Handmade?"

"That's right, you can change the concept however you want, whether it's 10 pieces in six hours, or one piece in 10 minutes, from cutting to waxing, one piece in [-] minutes, do you dare to bet?" With a sneer, he squinted at Hu Bin indifferently the whole time.

Hu Bin counted with his fingers for a while, but no matter what he did, he felt that 10 minutes was not enough, not to mention that he had to carve an arhat, but it took more than 10 minutes to dig out a plain bead, plus polishing and waxing, etc. The process is impossible to complete without an hour.

In other words, he is sure to win this bet.

If he wins, it will cost 8 yuan, which is not a small fortune for him. Although his carving skills are considered passable, his income is still not high, only a little higher than ordinary workers, 8 Ten thousand yuan, that's his net income for more than a year. Once he gets it, he can buy a scooter with tens of thousands more.

Thinking of this, Hu Bin's heart was burning hot, his eyes flashed with excitement, he nodded fiercely and said: "It's a bet, let's start."

Seeing Hu Bin taking the bait, Xu Jingxing sneered inwardly, and begged for a huanghuali pear from Jin Xiaoxiao, cut the material on the spot, sawed out a small square of wood, and then picked up the carving knife and started picking beads.Generally speaking, when picking beads, you should fix the small square wood on the workbench, so that the carving knife can exert force and avoid hurting your fingers.

But he didn't use anything. He held the small square wood with three fingers in his left hand and the carving knife in his right hand. He took a deep breath and lowered the knife. With one stroke, the tough huanghuali wood was cut off like a corner made of tofu. After two cuts, the edges and corners of the small square wood disappeared, and after a few more cuts, the small square wood became a small wooden ball.

Seeing this, Jin Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up immediately.

And Hu Bin gasped.He was an insider, and he often picked beads when he was learning art, but he had never seen someone pick beads like this. This speed was not inferior to the speed of turning beads on a lathe, and it was much more flexible than a lathe.Therefore, a bad feeling flashed in his heart immediately, but he immediately relaxed when he thought that there were still many processes behind, such as drawing pictures.

When doing woodcarving, the general master will outline the pattern he wants to carve on the wood to avoid the deviation of the carving knife. This is a very critical step, which tests the art skills of the woodcarver. It takes about ten minutes, which is the least.

But before he could be happy, he saw Xu Jingxing directly began to cut rough blanks, even omitting the process of drawing pictures.

This……

Hu Bin immediately became nervous, staring at Xu Jingxing's flying knife and slender and strong fingers, and even prayed maliciously that Xu Jingxing would hurt him.

But his prayers were destined to be unanswered. Xu Jingxing moved the saber like flying, fast but not chaotic, and did not miss a single blow. The efficiency was very high. In less than five minutes, a simple statue of an arhat sitting quietly appeared. The shape is majestic and stable, and the image is vivid and simple, which vividly shows the temperament of Sitting Arhat who is tough on the outside and quiet on the inside.

Meditation Arhat is one of the eighteen Arhats. Before he became a monk, he was a powerful and fierce warrior. He killed countless people on the battlefield, but after he became a monk, he completely let go of killing thoughts and devoted himself to pure cultivation. After more than ten years of meditation, It is a representative of pure cultivation of the heart, and it also has the meaning of peace and prosperity, and entering the ultimate bliss.

What to carve looks like, this is the most basic requirement for wood carvers, the requirements are a little higher, not only the appearance, but also the spirit.

Xu Jingxing was able to portray the temperament and charm of the sitting arhat with such a few cuts. This is not something that can be done simply by being a good carver, but also requires a high artistic creation ability.Not to mention others, just compare it with the sitting arhat in the string of eighteen arhats in Hu Bin's hand. It looks like an arhat, but no matter how you look at it, it looks the same as other arhats, except for the difference in shape. It belongs to the characteristics of meditation Luohan itself.

To create statues of gods and Buddhas, it is necessary to portray the characteristics and charm of each statue of gods and Buddhas. If you can't do this, do it. In ancient times, it was suspected of blasphemy.

Of course, Xu Jingxing didn't deliberately compare himself with Hu Bin, he lost his place, he was still carving in an orderly manner.

After the rough blank is formed, it is smoothing, which is easier for him, and the smoothing knife dances like a silver butterfly.

After polishing, it is sanding, which is simpler, just wipe it lightly with sandpaper, just master the strength and angle, and grind as fast as you can under these conditions.This was originally a slow job, but under his command, he was forced to do it with machine-like efficiency.

The last process is waxing, which takes less time and only takes 2 minutes.

Putting down the towel for waxing, Xu Jingxing held up the vivid rosary beads of the Arhat Statue and looked at it, then turned his head to look at Hu Bin with a smile, "How long did it take?"

"Ten, ten, eight minutes..." Hu Bin said dryly as if his throat was blocked by cotton, and his face was even more ugly.

"Hehe, it seems that my efficiency has improved a bit." Xu Jingxing shrugged his shoulders, "How is my level? Is it worse than your slow and meticulous work?"

Hu Bin opened his mouth, wanting to deny it, but his skin was not thick enough to open his eyes and tell lies. Xu Jingxing's craftsmanship was better than his, even elementary school students could tell.But thinking of kowtowing to Xu Jingxing and admitting defeat, his heart twitched.
