The ups and downs of life in the Siheyuan

Li Yuan returned to the room and took out the stone from the space.

The thought force swept through, and the jadeite body was imprinted in the mind, and the body vaguely took on the shape of a gourd.

A slightly oblate gourd shape comes to mind, and the curved gourd silk is also vivid.

Li Yuan had zero jade-related carving experience. In order not to waste jade materials, he chose to retain the original idea: carving an imperial green gourd.

If a jade carving master takes a fancy to this piece of jade, he can do whatever he wants on it.

Spread a rainproof cloth on the floor, take out a small square table, and place the jade on it.

Sit down cross-legged and take out the tools you prepared in advance.

First pick up the toothless saw and untie the jade sand.

There are many types of jade sand, but most of them are made from collected natural corundum sand ore and garnet sand ore, which are pounded and screened.

It is divided into black sand, red sand, yellow sand and treasure sand, also known as black stone sand, red stone sand and yellow stone sand. Black sand has the highest hardness, which is 8-9 degrees on Mohs scale.

The hardness of jade is between 6.5 and 7.

"The Book of Songs·Xiaoya·Crane": "The stones from other mountains can be wrong." "Stones from other hills, can learn". The "stones from other mountains" mentioned here refer to the placer deposits of Jie Yusha.

When Li Yuan was collecting these tools, he saw that the smallest Jieyu toothless hacksaw was a large bamboo bow saw held by two people.

He was so strong that one person could operate it, so he handmade a steel folding and retractable toothless saw.

Jie Yusha is the purchased black sand.

These things can be easily found in Panjiayuan.

I originally considered designing a few jade-carving chainsaws and electric drills, but considering that when I came to Xiangjiang, the operation would most likely be in a hotel room.

If you use an electric saw or drill in the guest room, you will probably get knocked on the door and complain by your neighbors.

So after searching for information, he chose the most primitive and ancient method of making jade.

This method takes a long time for others, but for him, the strong finger strength and arm strength are enough to ensure that the speed is not slower than that of electric equipment.

Just like now, in less than an hour, Jade's true form has been revealed.

Li Yuan used his space ability to put debris and dust into the trash can, and put large pieces of skin into the space.

The next step is rough carving, usually using various tools (such as grinding tools, chisels, etc.).

Li Yuan still chooses the toothless saw to dissolve the jade sand.

Because he did not want to damage the jadeite body too much, Li Yuan basically kept the original shape of the jadeite and only made some minor modifications.

Before dinner, the rough carving of the gourd body was completed.

In order to increase the value of jadeite, Li Yuan used a carving knife to carve a flying dragon on the gourd, which symbolized auspiciousness.

Although it is a special alloy carving knife, it can only carve very shallow marks when carving jade.

At this time, Li Yuan was a little confused and he really didn't want to use the drill.

Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he injected a trace of inner energy into the carving knife. He cut the knife with the same force as before, and a large piece of jade suddenly fell.

This startled him.

Fortunately, I just cut the gourd's waist and it can still be repaired.

It's just a gourd with a thick waist turned into a gourd with a standard figure.

Li Yuan's heart bleeds when he sees the thumb-sized pieces of jade falling on the rainproof cloth.

It's all money.

After thinking about it, I started carving the ring surface according to the size of the broken pieces.

With the blessing of inner breath, a dozen imperial green ring faces of different sizes have been carved before going to bed.

On the second day, I started to carve the flying dragon on the surface of the gourd. These patterns were very familiar and I could easily carve them with ease.

It only took two days to complete the carving. The appropriately arranged auspicious cloud patterns set off the lifelike flying dragon.

To be honest, if it weren't for raising money, Li Yuan himself would have wanted to keep this debut work.

I took out some sandalwood and carved a wooden box with auspicious clouds and ten thousand characters pattern for the auspicious gourd.

Carrying the wooden box, I found Zheng Yuanhang.

"Mr. Li, you are a rare visitor." He couldn't help but look at the wooden box in Li Yuan's hand.

Li Yuan put the wooden box on his desk and motioned for Zheng Yuanhang to open it.

With excitement and expectation, Zheng Yuanhang fumbled with the wooden box for a long time.

“Even this wooden box is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece!

Mr. Li, your carving has improved again. With a few simple strokes, it looks more primitive and more charming than before.

Even a layman like me is attracted by its classical beauty.

I am more and more looking forward to what’s inside.”

After sighing at the wooden box, Zheng Yuanhang carefully opened the wooden box.

When he first saw the auspicious gourd inside, he froze in his seat.

He rubbed his eyes vigorously and looked at the auspicious gourd again.

He wanted to take it out and appreciate it up close, but he was afraid of damaging it. He was conflicted and filled with wonder.

Suddenly he thought of something and looked at Li Yuan with his mouth wide open, "Are you the one who gambled in Hollywood?"

Li Yuan smiled and put the new ID card in front of him.

"Qin Fan, is this your new identity?"

"Yes, Qin Fan bet on stones and won the imperial green. Then he asked the master sculptor Li Yuan to come out and carve it into an auspicious gourd, and entrusted Zheng's Law Firm to be responsible for the subsequent sale."

Hearing Li Yuan's description, Zheng Yuanhang trembled with excitement.

But after the excitement, he slowly calmed down and said with a frustrated look, "I'm sorry, I can't take this auspicious gourd, and I can't keep it!"

"Don't worry, you are only responsible for the process and legal affairs. You can leave the image of the auspicious gourd, and I will save the things.

When selling, I will personally bring the auspicious gourd."

Thinking of the huge benefits behind it, he gritted his teeth and "did it."

In this law firm, Zheng Yuanhang took matters into his own hands and took photos from all angles with his camera.

It was agreed to give Li Yuan a message one day later, and Li Yuan returned to the hotel carrying the wooden box.

Zheng Yuanhang was not in a hurry to publicize it. Even if he made this deal, his firm would improve.

But risks come with it.

He knew that both the black and white groups were going crazy these days, looking for the kid who got rich in the antique street.

Baidao is mainly a few jewelry stores, trying to get the rare imperial green.

The underworld is very simple. They want to find that young man and do a dark business with him.

He doesn't want to cause trouble and wants to live a good life.

After thinking for a long time, I eliminated all the people I knew. Very late, I picked up the phone and made a call.

Soon he left the office with his briefcase.

In the evening, he called Li Yuan and agreed to meet at his office at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.

Li Yuan readily agreed.

There was nothing to say all night, and Li Yuan came to the office as scheduled the next day.

Following the front desk to Zheng Yuanhang's office, there was a strange middle-aged man sitting inside. There was a strong man sitting on the chair next to him.

"Li...Mr. Qin, I would like to introduce you to a noble person." When Zheng Yuanhang saw Li Yuan, he stood up enthusiastically and introduced the middle-aged man next to him.

The middle-aged man behaved calmly, but with a hint of sharpness.

"My eldest son, this is Mr. Qin Fan whom I mentioned to you yesterday." Facing the middle-aged man, Zheng Yuanhang was obviously trembling.

The middle-aged man was sitting on the sofa, turning his head to look at Li Yuan without saying a word, with sharp eyes.

Li Yuan walked to the sofa opposite the middle-aged man, sat down casually, leaned back, and looked at him coldly.

Zheng Yuanhang stood up and looked left and right, his face flushed with embarrassment and at a loss.

A few minutes later, the middle-aged man sneered, "Young man, few people dare to be so rude to me now!"

"Why should I give you face!"
