jade carver

The teacher only talked for more than half an hour, and then took everyone to see the jade materials. What he said before, today is mainly about practice.For this practical class, I also specially obtained a few pieces of jade, and asked everyone to take it to Z University, and borrow the expensive equipment from others for the test.

The teacher asked a few tall and burly boys to push the small cart, and the people behind were wearing gloves to put the stones on it, and a group of people pushed the small carts on the construction site to the laboratory building.Looking at it from afar, it looks like a migrant worker brother who came to reinforce the outer wall of the laboratory building.

The little fat man who was following Cheng Ye also pushed a wheelbarrow, and complained in a low voice with a bitter face, "Hey, I thought why did the teacher ask us to buy gloves... It turns out that they came here as coolies! I just said, before I have seen so many jade materials with my brother, but I have never seen one wearing thick gloves..." He was distracted and muttered a few words, not paying attention to a stone on the wheel of the car, and almost took the car with him with a bang Crooked!

Cheng Ye stepped forward to help him, helped him straighten the car, and warned, "Be careful."

The little fat man hurriedly thanked Cheng Ye, "Brother, thank you! I saw that you are a good person early in the morning, and you also copied my homework and helped me push the cart..."

Xu Junjie was also pushing a small cart, and there were two small rough jade stones on it, which looked quite relaxed.He heard the little fat man flattering Cheng Ye over there, and he laughed, "Hu Xiaoyuan, I have a quiz tomorrow, how are you preparing?" I need someone.

The little fat man's face turned red, and he rubbed his nose in embarrassment, "Brother Xu, don't laugh at me, what about me, the cultural class is really not good... I understand what the teacher said separately, put it together, it knows me I don't know it."

Xu Junjie grinned, and bumped him with his shoulder, "Don't worry, when the time comes, sit behind me, and I'll turn sideways for you to copy, ah."

The little fat man's eyes lit up immediately, "Brother Xu, benefactor!" But he was a little hesitant following the little fat man, scratching his ears and scratching his cheeks and tentatively asking Xu Junjie, "Brother Xu, what, do you know these questions... I mean Yes, can I pass yours if I copy yours?"

"You must pass!" Xu Junjie patted his chest and promised, with a little complacency on his face. "When I sit next to Cheng Ye, do you see these eyes? 2.0! You can copy [-]% to [-]% without squinting!"

"Hey! Thank you Brother Xu! When my brother comes, I will ask him to invite us all to dinner!" The little fat man was so happy that he pushed the small cart without feeling heavy. "I called my brother yesterday to talk about everyone, I didn't expect him to know you too! Brother Cheng Ye, my brother also asked you if you like that olive stone bracelet?"

Cheng Ye was a little surprised, and raised his head to look at the little fat man, "Who is your brother?"

The little fat man's eyes curled into slits with a smile, and his white teeth were exposed, "My brother is Populus euphratica!"

Eldest brother Xu Junjie smacked his mouth and looked Hu Xiaoyuan up and down. Except that both of them were surnamed Hu, he really didn't see any resemblance between this little fat man and Populus euphratica. "You and your brother are not brothers, are you?"

Hu Xiaoyuan was still immersed in the excitement of not having to fail the exam tomorrow, so he answered what Xu Junjie said, "Hey, yes! He is the brother of my uncle's family, and we are usually very close!"

Cheng Ye remembered that Hu Yang seemed to have mentioned such a younger brother before, and then took a closer look at Hu Xiaoyuan. If he was thinner, his eyebrows and eyes seemed to have the gentleness of Hu Yang. "Hu Yang...is your brother also coming to the training class?"

Hu Xiaoyuan shook his head, "No, I was the only one in our family. Originally, I wanted my brother to come with me, but grandpa said that my brother was old and a bit inappropriate, and wanted children from other relatives to come... ...Hmph, I don't like it, so I just chose two young masters in the studio and gave them the spots."

Xu Junjie had heard a little about the Hu family. He heard that it was a very wealthy family. The Hu family's jade carving skills were second-rate, but most of the jade raw materials in the country were in their hands, and ordinary people would not dare to mess with them.When they opened a jade shop in the provincial capital, they still asked Hu Yang to get some when they couldn’t get enough jade materials. Now when they saw the Hu family, they were more or less kind, "Oh, where are the two young masters?"

Hu Xiaoyuan curled his lips, "The two of them are worse than me in cultural subjects. My grandfather left them at home to make up for it, so they couldn't come together."

Xu Junjie smiled and didn't ask any more questions. There were too many right and wrong ways in it, and it might not be right to just listen to the little fat man.Maybe it's because the old man can't save face, and he can't hold back his grandson, so he is in trouble.

Cheng Ye remembered the current situation of Populus euphratica and understood a little bit.Hu Yang told him before that although he bears the Hu family's surname, his blood relationship is a little distant after all.The Hu family is a big family, and the relatives are divided into several branches. I am afraid that this Hu Xiaoyuan is the grandson of the Hu family, otherwise there is no way to have such a tone.

Hu Xiaoyuan was very happy to get close to Cheng Ye and the others. When he came to the Hu family, he came alone. He really didn't know any acquaintances in the training class.Several people chatted all the way, Hu Xiaoyuan is a carefree master, although sometimes he speaks a little straight, but he really has no bad intentions.This is also a young master's fault that he has been accustomed to since he was a child. The Hu family must have held him in their palms since childhood.

The laboratory building of Z University looks a little dilapidated, but the equipment inside is very good. This time, special instruments were specially provided for them to study jade.The teacher in the laboratory led them in and explained, "There is another observation instrument that has to be imported from abroad, and it won't arrive until the school starts. Everyone, let's make up for it first, and it will be fine when the school starts."

The students at the back came to the laboratory for the first time and felt that it was very fresh. Each of the test benches was polished clean and shiny, and there were neatly arranged tools on it.The teacher instructed everyone to put away the jade they brought, and chose the ones with relatively good texture. They cut the jade into small pieces that are easy to use with a small jade cutter, and led everyone to observe the fracture. "I think everyone knows how to tell the difference. Today we chose nephrite jade. The most important thing is to observe the toughness of the jade, the luster of the section, and the shape of the ballast. Look at this, the ballast is granular... "

The students in the back listen more and take less notes. Many of them have been in contact with jade materials for several years, and the naked eye alone is more accurate than the teacher's.Cheng Ye listened with his ears up at first, but after listening to a few words, he began to take out his notebook and take notes.His weakness is that he has too few types of jade materials, which is something that Lao Xia can't do. They don't have such strong strength to buy jade stones, so they can only teach them whatever they encounter.The teacher is now teaching from the basics, which is exactly what Cheng Ye wanted.

Hu Xiaoyuan stood on tiptoe to look at it for a while and then backed out, feeling quite boring.The piece of jade in the teacher's hand can be regarded as a low-grade jade at best. He saw many good things when he was a child, but now he looks down on low-grade ones.

Xu Junjie was busy on the sidelines, all because he wanted to get acquainted with the teacher, so that he could get some extra points in the future major examinations.He was also trained in the jade pile, and the old man Xu was also ranked first in the jade factory. Naturally, he and the twins have seen a lot of things.

After a practice class, everyone relaxed.In the final analysis, several high-tech tools were used to test the jade material again, so that the jade carving master can more accurately select materials, conceive and create.In the past, they only made jade carvings based on experience, but now they find it fresh and interesting by changing the way of observation.

After the teacher demonstrated one, he asked everyone to split up and do it by themselves. After a while, there was a buzzing sound of the machine starting in the laboratory, as well as the ear-piercing sound of gears rubbing jade.

Cheng Ye's set of tools was left in the dormitory, and Lao Xia had told him not to show it to be conspicuous, so he is now using the machine with everyone.It happened that the twins were small, and the teacher was worried that they would not be able to operate well, so he asked Cheng Ye and the Xu brothers to practice together.Seeing Cheng Ye, Xu Xiaowu grinned his teeth and didn't know where to put his happy hands, "Little brother!"

Xu Xiaowen was also very happy to be with Cheng Ye, but he was obviously not as excited as his younger brother. He glanced at Xu Xiaowu and felt a little strange.

After the indoor practical class, the next step is to go out to study.This was booked early in the morning. The training class rented a bus to take the whole class to the neighboring city. There is a large jade processing base and an antique city there, which is perfect for testing eyesight.

Cheng Ye called Li Rui, probably because he was busy there, Li Rui hung up immediately.Cheng Ye was a little puzzled, but it was hard to call again. After hesitating for a while, he followed the big guy to pack up and go out.

Everyone in the jade processing base in Linshi is not interested in seeing it. Many of them have it in their own homes, and it is a bit boring to see.But the antique city made everyone very interested. Those who play jade like to gather in that kind of place, maybe they can pick up the leaks.

Cheng Ye and his team had too many people, so they split up this time, forming a group of five, and each group had a team leader who was responsible for taking everyone back to the hotel at a fixed point.Brother Cheng Ye happened to be five of them. Just as they were about to leave, they heard someone shouting from behind, "Brother Cheng, Brother Xu! Wait for me, let's go together."

Hu Xiaoyuan was the only one who would call Cheng Ye "Brother" in the class. Since he joined Cheng Ye's team, he scored 60 points in every game, which made Hu Xiaoyuan very moved.Hu Xiaoyuan has a straight temper, and what he says always makes others feel too crazy. Others in the class don't like him very much, only Cheng Ye and the others are talking and laughing to the little fat man, which strengthens Hu Xiaoyuan's determination to follow them.

But this time Hu Xiaoyuan has other tasks, so he ran over with a smile and invited the five senior brothers, "My brother happens to be here on business, and he came here today, and he said he would invite us all to dinner! Who is there at noon?" Don't run away, you can't miss one!"
