Chapter 89
As soon as Xu Jingxing entered the main hall, he was warmly greeted by Ou Zhengguang, which made him feel a little embarrassed, and didn't quite understand what the old man meant. Although he was also warm yesterday and later, it didn't reach this level.

But when Ou Zhengguang opened his mouth, he understood.

When he sat down, Ou Zhengguang said with a smile: "Xiao Xu, you are really too low-key. If I didn't ask someone to ask, I don't know that you are the woodcarving brother who is very popular on Changle Road. , Hey, I knew it was you, why bother so much yesterday, I was thinking of asking you to do this job before that, but I heard from the people at the market that you haven’t opened a stall for a long time, saying that you are very busy , I didn’t contact you.”

Wood carving boy?

What is this ghost?

Xu Jingxing was a little confused, but from Ou Zhengguang's words, he could tell that he was indeed talking about himself, because he was the only young man who made wood carvings on Changle Road.It's just that he didn't understand, when did he become famous, and he could attract the attention of people like Ou Zhengguang?
Ou Zhengguang is also a big boss with a net worth of hundreds of millions, and he is from an intellectual background. He is aloof and doesn't pay much attention to Zhou Zhenshan. Suddenly, he has a good eye for him, a fledgling woodcarver, which is a bit abrupt no matter how you look at it. .

Ou Zhengguang seemed to see Xu Jingxing's doubts, and explained with a smile: "It's mainly thanks to Mr. Ding, he has been recommending your works to me. Spirituality, I just didn't expect that you are not only good at carving, but also good at making furniture, and the set of red sandalwood furniture for Lao Zhou is even more brilliant than your woodcarving works."

It was only then that Xu Jingxing suddenly realized that his affection for that old gentleman surnamed Ding was rising, but he still didn't know the origin of that old gentleman Ding, and he didn't know where to start if he wanted to express his gratitude. There will definitely be some intersections in the future, but don't worry too much. The task now is to do the work in hand beautifully, not to embarrass myself, nor to Zhou Zhenshan, let alone live up to Mr. Ding's recommendation Feelings.

Therefore, after a few polite words, the topic was brought to the portrait of Lu Dongbin who was about to start construction.

He took out the blueprint and pushed it in front of Ou Zhengguang, "Boss Ou, I made some simple adjustments to the shape of the statue last night. Take a look again. If there is no problem, I will follow this standard."

Ou Zhengguang flipped through it briefly, and asked a little surprised: "The overall shape has not changed, but the base has changed a lot. With such a change, the foil on both sides has to be adjusted."

Xu Jingxing nodded, "Yes, but it's not a big problem. I can help you transform it for free. This will make the style of the statue more unified and look more coordinated."

"Then, well, I'll trouble you," Ou Zhengguang agreed after thinking for a while, and he had no reason to refuse, because the new proposal proposed by Xu Jingxing really looked more charming.

"Then I'll start work right now. If everything goes well, it will be finished in a week. Will the district boss watch me do it?" Xu Jingxing asked with a smile.

"If you don't mind, I'll just watch and watch. I've always been curious about the process of forming a statue, but I haven't had the chance to witness it with my own eyes. By the way, there won't be rules like 'no crowd watching'?" Ou Zhengguang nodded with a smile .

"I don't know if other people have them. Anyway, I don't have them here." Of course Xu Jingxing didn't mind, but it would be uncomfortable to always have someone around to watch when he was working. But Ou Zhengguang is the boss, he can watch as much as he likes Well, just treat him as an overseer.Besides, there is nothing secret about his craftsmanship, and he is not afraid of being seen.

So he stopped talking nonsense, took out the tool and started working directly.

This time he didn't bring An Xin, because An Xin really couldn't help much. From design to drawing to rough blank to final polishing and waxing, the whole process had to be done with great care. The carvings will be particularly conspicuous, and Jinshen is a cork, which is easy to hurt, so he intends not to borrow the hands of others throughout the process.

However, with such a large material, it is also particular about where to start cutting. It must be calculated in advance. If you think about where to carve, it may cause you to be unable to cut later.

Fortunately, Xu Jingxing had his own plan for doing things, and he planned the entire process last night, so there was no hesitation when he started.

In his design, the statue of Lu Dongbin is integrated with the base, so he carved the base first, and then erected this section of thick golden silk Nan to start carving the body after the base was formed.Speaking of this, there is another episode. When he was about to stand up the big guy, Ou Zhengguang was going to help, but before they reached out, he hugged his arms and pushed the big guy up. .

The specific gravity of Jinsinan is not as high as hardwoods such as red sandalwood and chicken wing wood, but it is so big that it weighs several hundred catties. In order to carry this big guy into the hall before, it took eight migrant workers to carry it in.

That's why Xu Jingxing's inadvertent display of this hand scared Ou Zhengguang and others. They stared at the leisurely and handsome Xu Jingxing in dumbfounded, and did not speak for a long time.

Xu Jingxing was also a little belated, at first he didn't know what they were doing stupidly looking at him, and after a moment of stupefaction, he realized that he had inadvertently shown off his muscles, which made him secretly amused for a long time.

Apart from this little bit of fun, the whole carving process seemed a bit boring. Ou Zhengguang watched enthusiastically at the beginning, but he found an excuse to leave after half a day, because there was nothing interesting about it, especially when he was doing it. In the rough stage, chisels, saws and even axes are often flying around with sawdust, which is no different from the scene of chopping wood, and it is not as artistic as imagined.

However, the rough billet looks much better after it is formed, especially in the fine excavation stage, it is very poetic. Watching a rough wooden billet slowly transform under the carving knife, it feels like watching a fragile young cicada bit by bit. It’s like trying to get out of the hard shell and spreading its wings a little bit. If a certain writer sees it, he might write a beautiful and moving prose because of it.

If the fine digging process is "young cicadas coming out of their shells", then the finishing process is "beauties coming out of the bath", and the subsequent painting and waxing are "ladies putting on makeup".

After putting on makeup, the "lady" can go out to meet people.

On the day when the project was officially completed, Xu Jingxing notified Ou Zhengguang early and asked Ou Zhengguang to come and inspect the project with his wages.On the phone, Ou Zhengguang was a little hesitant, but he still agreed.He didn't think much about it at the time, but when he received a call from Zhou Zhenshan, he felt a little uncomfortable.
