Chapter 105 - Chapter 105: A Bloody Expense, A Family Heirloom

"Free!"The old carving master waved his hand and paused before saying: "But I have a request, which is that after the carving is completed, you can exhibit it to me.In fact, it is not an exhibition, but just as my last work.There is also a ceremony for the closing of the knife.I will invite colleagues to come and gather together to display this last piece of the closing knife." "No problem!"Zhang Heng agreed, knowing that he would be treated like this when he met a carving master who was about to retire.The prerequisite was that you had a valuable item that the carving master liked.Otherwise, no matter how much money you gave, he would not sell it to you: "I plan to use it as a house-guarding item, which will take about two or three months.""That's enough time!"The old carving master pondered for a moment and made his own estimate of the time: "In fact, this piece of dog-head gold itself is shaped like a dragon. When carving, you only need to make some details, and no major changes are needed.""If you want to use it as a house-guarding item, then... look here, here, and here, and if you chisel this piece off, can it become a golden dragon flying in the clouds?"Chiseling off this piece has another advantage, that is, it can be carved into a five-clawed golden dragon, and the five claws symbolize supremacy.""Of course, if this is the case, many places will need to be modified, and in disguise, many places will be chiseled off. If it is formed, it will not be so long and so big, and it will be much smaller. "The old carving master gestured on the dog-head gold. Maybe because he was not wearing gloves, he did not touch the dog-head gold directly with his hands. He only gestured on it. As he gestured, he could intuitively feel the final approximate shape.What is professionalism? This is professionalism!"Wait a minute!"The old carving master still felt dissatisfied, or felt that he was not rigorous enough: "Xiao Yi... go to my study and bring me the ruler, pen, paper and so on."Okay, teacher!"The old carving master is also in his sixties, but here, he is just a student. If people outside see him, they will probably be shocked, right?After all, as a big boss in a carving store, his craftsmanship is infinitely close to the master level, only one step away. Such a person is also a well-known person in the carving world. Has Ah Shi ever been so humble?But it is not like this. For this kind of ancient inheritance, respect for teachers is the most important. Once a teacher, a father for life. Even if your craftsmanship exceeds that of the teacher, you must maintain respect, otherwise this industry will not accommodate you.He was sincere. Forty years ago, if he hadn't had a teacher, he would have starved to death on the street. How could he have the status he has today?Bring the tools!Measure and then draw on paper. The old carving master's painting skills are absolutely master-level. With such a light stroke, a lifelike five-clawed golden dragon soon appeared on the paper."The length of the dog-head gold is 1 meter 39.3 centimeters. According to the assumption just now, I'm afraid that only about 96 centimeters of the dragon body will be left in the end. Of course, the total length will reach about 1.19 meters, and the extra length is dragon whiskers and the like."The old carving master accurately calculated the data to a small number, which shows how rigorous he is: "The only pity is that it is not wide enough.Otherwise, it would be perfect if it was directly carved into a formed one-piece shape with a base, but the conditions are like this, which is a big flaw.""My friend... do you think it's okay?" The old carving master had to ask the owner's opinion after all."Yes, you are a professional!"Zhang Heng smiled and nodded. He watched the whole process, including the sketched drawing. He was not dissatisfied with anything. It was even more perfect than he expected: "As for the base, there is no problem. After all, it is a gold artifact, not a jade artifact.As soon as the voice fell!His hands did not rest. He gently lifted the dog-head gold in the box together with the protection.The box is a double-layer design. Otherwise, it would not be so heavy and big, and there is another layer underneath."Master... This piece is 9999 gold. There is no problem with the size. How do you think it can be used as a base?"Zhang Heng was well prepared. It can be seen that he spent a lot of time on this dragon-shaped dog-head gold and was willing to spend a lot of money. Just this 9999 gold base weighs 13 pounds: "After carving, melt it below and it can be connected to the base. ""Okay, okay!"The old carving master was a man who had seen the world after all.After a moment of shock, he returned to normal, his eyes more energetic: "I will find an old friend who is good at melting gold to help me.He will complete the final welding, and there will be absolutely no trace of human intervention. 0."Thank you, Master!"Zhang Heng also wanted to be more perfect."You've spent a lot of money on this."The old carving master was a little emotional at this time, and slowly said: "Just this base, it's worth more than two million, well... let's get back to the point, with this base, then we need to make some more changes [ten points should be reserved for welding space." "You can do these!"Zhang Heng believes that the old man will do his best to achieve perfection.After all, it is his last work: "Finally, it's its protection after the work is completed.Gold is relatively soft.If it is not well protected, it may be damaged. "I prepared a glass cabinet for it that is 1.5 meters long, 30 centimeters wide, and 80 centimeters high.This glass cabinet is not simple.It has bulletproof capabilities.I only kept one side that is movable and fixed the bottom. "So when you are processing the base, I hope you will not touch the fixing buckle at the bottom.There is no problem with the top, you can change it at will.If you want to add something, it is no problem.""Finally, it is encapsulated. I am going to do vacuum treatment."Zhang Heng showed that he was well prepared. Everything was ready and he spent a lot of time. He brought everything this time. The big base at the bottom layer is 9999 gold.Isn't it placed in the glass cabinet 0.8?"You really took a lot of trouble!"The old carving master wanted to give Zhang Heng gave a thumbs up. There are people with such tight thinking, but he has never seen such a young one: "Preserved in a vacuum, if there is no accident, it will be preserved forever, unless it is violently destroyed.""Hahaha... I also hope that it can be preserved forever. Maybe when I get old in the future, I can pass it down as a family heirloom.""It can definitely be a family heirloom!"The old carving master was even happier. His last work was regarded as a family heirloom and passed down from generation to generation. It represented his craftsmanship and his reputation in disguise, and it would also be passed down along with it.At the same time, this is also the greatest affirmation of himself. As a sculptor, he is very proud.
