The ups and downs of life in the Siheyuan

When I hear someone say that small blast furnaces pollute the environment, everyone is aggrieved.

"It's simply unreasonable. Our raw materials are basically scrap iron and steel. The soot is absolutely nothing compared to other factories," Cheng Wanbiao said.

"That is, if there is pollution, we will be the first to be poisoned. Is there something wrong with any of us?" Ren Jiadao.

"I think someone is jealous and wants to cause trouble for us." Wang Qiang tightened his belt.

"Developing the economy is the top priority. If we are going to starve to death, how can we talk about environmental pollution and play the piano randomly?" Nie Yongjun said.

. . . . . .

"Okay, everyone, stop complaining. Strengthening yourself is the last word."

After the meeting, Ren Jia and Wang Hongxia followed Li Yuan to his office.

"Chief Li, our relationship is the strongest, why do you have to get me a dozen piglets?!"

Ren Jia held Li Yuan's arm, completely ignoring the pressure of the two mountain peaks.

Not to be outdone, Wang Hongxia also hugged the other arm tightly.

"Chief Li, I don't want so many of the mistakes we usually make. Just three."

Li Yuan tried his best to pull his arms out of the two piles of softness. The 30-year-old woman was really not something he could bear.

He hurriedly walked around the table, looked at the two of them across the table, and raised his hands.

The embarrassed look made the two girls tremble.

"Stop! Sisters, please listen to me.

Last time I gave away a lot of wood carvings, there was only one that I felt particularly good about at the time, and it was the best among them. The others were far behind.

If my guess is correct, the pig that was auctioned was my favorite pig.

Until now, I have never experienced that feeling again.

Therefore, if you want to carve valuable works, you need inspiration and opportunity."

The two women looked at each other and cheered at the same time.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. This time you are going to the Canton Fair and help us bring some cosmetics. I heard where you can buy foreign products."

"No problem, no problem, I will definitely handle it for the two eldest sisters."

"I'm talking about Section Chief Li, you're such a great section chief, why don't you have a wife yet? Do you want us to introduce you to one?" Wang Hongxia said domineeringly.

"Yes, yes, really." Li Yuan quickly refused. Now he was very resistant to finding a partner.

"Whenever you bring it, we will check it for you."

"No problem, we will definitely bring it."

Li Yuan is now afraid of these two, they are too tough.

I wasn't paying attention just now, and I didn't know who pinched my butt. It was so scary.

After a few moments of greetings, the two girls were sent away.

After Li Yuan sat down, he couldn't help but feel proud in his heart.

Unexpectedly, I made it as I wanted, and the auction price was as high as US$.

At the current exchange rate between the US dollar and the Hong Kong dollar, that's the Hong Kong dollar.

Last time I went to Guangzhou, I chatted with some Xiangjiang businessmen. When it came to the housing prices in Xiangjiang, a large apartment of 400 square meters in Kowloon only cost HKD.

One square meter is only 122 Hong Kong dollars. If you can buy some real estate now and re-open it, you will make a fortune.

After a moment of lust, he smiled.

He understood that this price was not its true value, but a means of speculation by Xiangjiang merchants.

In terms of carving, he is still very confident. With the bonus of his skills, he can master both the fineness and the overall balance.

But in terms of aesthetics, he is just a beginner and is still far from a master.

His biggest advantage now is probably his sense of space and overall coordination, and the rest needs to be honed slowly.

In the afternoon, the office clerk delivered a large amount of wood. The material was mostly small-leaf rosewood, and occasionally some walnut wood.

Now that he has accepted the task, he has no choice but to calm down and practice carving the three animals.

The first consideration is dragons.

The most basic characteristic of the image of the dragon is "three stops and nine resemblances":

The three stops include stopping from the head to the shoulders, from the shoulders to the waist, and from the waist to the tail.

The nine images are antlers like a deer, head like a cow, eyes like a shrimp, mouth like a donkey, belly like a snake, scales like a fish, feet like a phoenix, whiskers like a human, and ears like an elephant.

Jiu seems easy to understand. Three Stops means that the lengths of the dragon's head to its forelimbs, its forelimbs to its waist, and its waist to its tail are equal.

The description of dragons in "Wuzazu": However, when you see dragons, they are all supported by thunder, lightning, clouds, and fog. It is rare to see their full form.

A mystery stands out here.

The organizing committee wanted him, Li Yuan, to be an artist, probably because Westerners prefer Li Yuan's elegant temperament that fits Chinese aesthetics.

Thinking about it now, it was precisely because he was in a very relaxed state of mind after practicing that day and in line with the characteristics of the unity of nature and man that the little pig behaved naturally and naughtyly.

Thinking of these, he knew the direction of his efforts: harmony, nature and restraint.

He did not rush to take action, but carefully stared at the dragon in the photo for a long time.

He knew every detail of the entire picture by heart.

He closed his eyes and slowly began to construct the dragon in the picture in his mind.

This ability was recently discovered by him. As he practiced the technique more and more, his brain seemed to be redeveloped.

Not only does it have a photographic memory, but it was also discovered that three-dimensional modeling can be carried out directly in the mind.

This modeling method is not like what ordinary people imagine, but you can actually see a model in your mind.

You can zoom in or out and rotate 360 ​​degrees.

Stop thinking about it and it will automatically be stored in your mind. Next time, just a thought can bring it back out.

Return your gaze to your current work.

The drawing on the photo was flat, he had to make it three-dimensional.

Based on his understanding of dragons, he constantly optimized the model.

Make sure that no matter from which angle you look at it, the entire dragon looks soaring, winding and majestic.

When off duty, the overall silhouette takes shape.

The body shuttles through the clouds and mist, looming, and a dragon head comes out from the upper right, looking majestic and domineering.

The five claws that are occasionally revealed are so strong and sharp that they seem to be able to tear everything into pieces.

The dragon's body is powerful, winding and weaving, and its dorsal fin dances up and down, stirring the wind and clouds.

Looking at the dragon shape in his mind, his mind was slowly aroused.

The model seems to have become a living body, constantly traveling in the mind. Accompanied by lightning and thunder, the five-clawed dragon roars and looks down at the people with its big eyes.

As if he sensed Li Yuan's gaze, he raised his head and "looked at" Li Yuan.

His eyes were sharp, and a sense of domineering slowly spread.

Li Yuan felt a headache, and the dragon's image became blurry. It glanced at Li Yuan again, turned around and escaped into the clouds.

When Li Yuan opened his eyes, he felt a splitting headache and his whole body was wet with sweat.

He smiled bitterly, actually wanting to evolve the dragon in his mind.

Even if it was just an idea that evolved, it was severely counterattacked.

I poured a cup of hot water, held it in my hands, and felt a warmth.

When a cup of hot water is consumed, the body returns to normal.

Back in the compound, Yan Fugui knocked on Li Yuan's door with a bottle of wine and a small plate of pickles.

"Third uncle, what are you...?"

"Haha, I suddenly wanted to have a drink with you, Motoko.

There are no good dishes, only pickles, so don’t dislike them.

If you have any good food, bring it as soon as possible, and the third uncle will have a drink with you."

Li Yuan felt warm in his heart.

No matter how Yan Laoji calculated, his feelings for him were true.

"Third uncle, please sit down for a while, it will take half an hour."

"Hey, I know you're right. Put in more meat and I'll have a good meal today."

"Okay, please do it."
