God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 84

Xu Jingxing leaned over and sniffed, smelled a faint fragrance, touched the colorful cross-section with his hand, felt the slight warmth from the wood, blinked and asked, "Jin Sinan?"

"That's right, Jin Sinan," Ou Zhengguang smiled lightly, nodded, and recognized Xu Jingxing's eyesight. If Xu Jingxing couldn't even recognize what it was, or it took a lot of effort to recognize it, then he wouldn't Nonsense.Identifying wood is a basic skill that a woodcarver must have. If you don’t know the material, you don’t know the material. If you don’t know the material, you can’t master the wood.

A golden nan with a diameter of more than one meter is also luxurious enough.

The price of Jinsinnan was very high in the past two years, and it has only dropped in the past two years. The market price is only about a dozen yuan per catty. The price of large diameter and beautiful patterns will be higher, but it does not exceed 100 yuan. That is to say, one ton is about [-] yuan.

There is no way, Nanmu grows very fast, so the output has always been high. Generally speaking, it can be matured in a decade or so, and it can be used for 30 to [-] years.Although one meter in diameter is precious, it is not rare.In addition, nanmu is a soft wood with relatively soft hardness, and a slight bump will cause a big hole, so its popularity is far less than that of red sandalwood, so the price has been hanging at a moderate level.

According to Xu Jingxing's estimate, the market price of this section of Jinsinnan should be around 20.

However, it is pious enough to carve a statue of Lu Dongbin with 20 materials.

Xu Jingxing walked around the thick golden nanmu log twice and nodded, "It's a usable material. By the way, do you have any general requirements for the statue? For example, is it a standing statue or a sitting statue?"

"There is no requirement in this regard, but whether it is a seated or standing statue, it must have spirituality," Ou Zhengguang said lightly.

Xu Jingxing nodded, "Naturally, the statue of a god must have the bearing of a god, otherwise it would be blasphemy, so we have reached an agreement?"

"Yes, but you need to come up with the design draft as soon as possible, and you can only do it after I confirm it."

"No problem, just wait for a while." Hearing this, Xu Jingxing took out the draft paper and pencils that he carried with him from his satchel, and lay down on the piece of golden nanmu as if no one was watching, and began to paint at an extremely fast speed.

Ou Zhengguang opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say anything, and just stood and watched.

Others couldn't say anything when they saw this, and those who were interested also came to watch.

Zhou Zhenshan's complexion was a bit ugly at first. He thought that with his face, Ou Zhengguang would definitely sign the contract with Xu Jingxing without hesitation, but in the end, Ou Zhengguang didn't give him any face at all, and he even didn't think much of Xu Jingxing's appearance. This made him very uncomfortable, and his face was a little ugly when he stood aside.

Xu Jingxing didn't care what these people were thinking, while he was conceiving, he was sketching, and a figure in the painting would come alive on the paper.

The onlookers applauded in unison, and some applauded.But Ou Zhengguang's expression was a little weird, with admiration, suspicion, and some puzzlement and dissatisfaction in his expression. When Xu Jingxing finished painting, he frowned and said, "Isn't this style too flamboyant? Is it suitable to be placed in the main hall? "

Xu Jingxing smiled, did not explain, turned to look at the old man surnamed Ding.

Seeing Xu Jingxing's gaze, old man Ding stood up with a cough and said, "It couldn't be more suitable. On the blueprint, this style is indeed a bit floating, but after it is made into a real thing, it will only appear lively, and you want to be distinctive. It would be boring to carve a standing or seated statue with a serious face. Besides, the material is golden nan, the color of which is very bright, and the pattern is very eye-catching. Only the more flexible shapes are the best match.”

"Mr. Ding, are you sure?" After listening to old man Ding's explanation, Ou Zhengguang was still a little suspicious.

Old man Ding smiled, and pointed to the moon beam above the main hall, "These components were carved by this little friend himself."

"Really?" Ou Zhengguang widened his eyes in surprise, and looked Xu Jingxing up and down, but this time his expression was much more serious than before, completely gone from the previous contempt.

Xu Jingxing smiled, "That happened more than a month ago, and the patterns of these components can be designed by others, I am only in charge of carving."

"I know, I know, the design of the pattern is good, and the carving is even better. I didn't expect my young friend to be so skilled in craftsmanship. It's really rare." Ou Zhengguang's attitude was in stark contrast to the previous one. The smile is much warmer.

Xu Jingxing still smiled neither humble nor overbearing, "The boss of the district is absurd, let's continue to talk about the design issue, if there is anything that needs to be revised, feel free to mention it, this is just a sketch, there is still room for revision."

Ou Zhengguang didn't answer, but turned to look at old man Ding, "Mr. Ding, what do you think?"

Old man Ding smiled, "In my opinion, this job is none other than this young man's. The key is that his works are spiritual. Apart from these architectural components, I have also seen his other works, which are of a very high level. .”

"Really?"

"It's true, haven't you seen it too?"

"I saw the furniture he made, but making furniture is different from carving statues..." Ou Zhengguang had seen the large set of red sandalwood furniture that Xu Jingxing made for Zhou Zhenshan. They met each other, but seeing Xu Jingxing so young, he still felt a little bit worried.

Old man Ding smiled, "This is a photo I took, take a look," he took out his phone and opened the photo album to show Ou Zhengguang, and then asked with a smile, "How is it?"

"It's really his craft?" Ou Zhengguang was still a little suspicious.

"If you don't believe me, then I have nothing to say." At this moment, even old man Ding felt a little upset.

Zhou Zhenshan on the side was even more upset, "Qu, what do you mean?"

It was only then that Ou Zhengguang realized that his translation just now was a bit inappropriate, and quickly said: "I don't mean anything else, I just think this young man's craftsmanship is too good, not inferior to those well-known woodcarving masters at all."

"Then tell me if you need it or not," Zhou Zhenshan asked angrily.

"Yes, why don't you use it? Haha, he must be the one to do this job." Ou Zhengguang laughed, and stretched out his palm to Xu Jingxing, "Little Xu, don't mind, I'm a bit suspicious, but suspects don't need people, and employers don't." Doubt, if you want you to be able to play to your level, then there is no problem."

Xu Jingxing smiled, "Then the district boss, let's talk about wages?"

"Well, we have to agree in advance, how about I offer 5 yuan?" Ou Zhengguang asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Zhou Zhenshan became angry again.

Seeing this, Xu Jingxing stopped Zhou Zhenshan, then smiled at Ou Zhengguang, "It's not very good, let me say, at least 20."
