    Chu Chen's words made Wu Ke amused, but Gu Jianming deeply agreed with this. Otherwise, why would Chu Chen have been able to carve such extraordinary artifacts after only learning jade carving for a few days?  What's more, there is also an element of luck involved.  Thinking of this, Gu Jianming couldn't help but sigh to himself. It's really frustrating to compare people to others. He, a master who has been studying for more than ten years, can't compare to a newcomer who has only been studying for a few days. Thinking about it, he feels very frustrated.  Fortunately, he also knew that people like Chu Chen were rare, otherwise he would have fallen into self-doubt.  Chu Chen handed one of the phoenix-carved pendants to Wu Ke and said with a smile: "Let's have one each." "Yeah!" Wu Ke happily agreed, and then couldn't put it down to play with and admire it. You know, this is Chu Chen.  Chen personally carved it for them both, and it was the first time that she had carved a master-level jade, which had a very special meaning to her.  Gu Jianming was very enthused. You must know that the material used for this pair of pendants is Laokeng glass, which is bright green. And the Laokeng glass pendants carved by a jade carving master need not be said much about their collection value and economic value.  If it were put on the market, let alone how popular it would be.  He doesn¡¯t even expect to get a glass pendant like this. As long as it¡¯s ice, he¡¯s already satisfied.  ¡°Boss, when you are free in the future, can you help me carve a piece of jade jewelry for my collection?¡± Gu Jianming said with some embarrassment.  "Okay!" Chu Chen smiled slightly and said no problem, and then said: "But I don't know when I can become a real jade carving master!" "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!" Gu Jianming waved his hands repeatedly:  "To me, your knife skills are already at the master level, and I'm very satisfied with the jade you carved." "It's better to choose the right day. I happen to be free now, so I'll help you carve one now!" Chu  Chen said: "And I think there are still some places where I am not doing the right thing. Now is the time for you to give me some advice. What do you think?" Of course, Gu Jianming had no objection to this and quickly agreed.  Next, Chu Chen selected a piece of jadeite on Gu Jianming¡¯s workbench that was more suitable for making a pendant. This piece of jadeite was made of high-ice sun-green material, and the jade color was fairly uniform.  The quality is still very good.  After carefully looking at the piece of jadeite material, Chu Chen said, "I will use this piece of material to carve a statue of Guanyin. What do you think?" Gu Jianming originally planned to use this piece of material to carve a statue of Guanyin.  Like, so I don't have any opinions.  "Master Gu, I can only borrow your knives for today. I still have the set of mine at home." Chu Chen carved the pair of dragon and phoenix pendants in Yuhuating the day before yesterday. He didn't expect to do it today.  He was carving jade, so he didn't bring the knife, and it just so happened that he could try out the feeling of using different knives.  The knives used by Chu Chen and the two jade carving masters were all made of imported alloys. However, when Chu Chen bought them, there were only two sets of knives of the same type of material.  So Chu Chen chose another set. Although the characteristics of the knives were similar, there were still some subtle differences.  "Okay, feel free to use it!" After Gu Jianming agreed, Chu Chen carefully marked the jadeite, and then picked up the carving knife.  Just when Gu Jianming was surprised that Chu Chen started carving without observing the material, he saw Chu Chen choose a piece of leftover material from the workbench.  After carving a few swords, he realized that Chu Chen was just trying the sword first.  After Chu Chen got familiar with the knife, he picked up the piece of jade material and observed it carefully. Of course, this was just what it looked like on the surface, secretly.  He has used the Lingbao Eye to see the high-ice jadeite thoroughly. The material and details of the jadeite have been deeply remembered in his mind.  Several minutes passed like this.  Chu Chen officially started to perform the operation, but in order to avoid arousing Gu Jianming's suspicion, he had decided in advance to be more childish in some places, but even so, it had already surprised Gu Jianming.  In Gu Jianming's eyes, although Chu Chen's carving techniques may seem a bit unfamiliar, they are often done in one go. Even if some areas are not handled properly, they do not stop because of it. They are very consistent and consistent.  This also makes Chu Chen's performance look quite confident.  This surprised Gu Jianming, and he also felt in his heart that it was probably because Chu Chen had this kind of self-confidence that was different from ordinary people, coupled with his very powerful talent, that in just a few days, he  To be able to have such incredible results.  On the other hand, Gu Jianming?I found that Chu Chen also had his own unique insights into the priorities of knife skills, forming a relatively unique knife skills, and the areas treated with this kind of knife skills looked more natural.  Seeing this, Gu Jianming could only secretly smile and shake his head, because such knife skills were completely integrated into Chu Chen's own ideas. Even if he wanted to learn it, he couldn't learn it. Fortunately, although he couldn't learn it, it was just the stone of his mountain.  He could attack jade. If he could often figure out Chu Chen's knife skills, it would also be very helpful to improve his own carving skills. Maybe he could break through the barrier that had troubled him for a long time.  Chu Chen was concentrating on carving the Guanyin statue, but now that there were outsiders present, he couldn't be as unsuspecting as he was at home. Therefore, in addition to being slower than at home, he sometimes had to be distracted and watch.  If there was anything strange about Gu Jianming's reaction, he would have no choice but to hide his clumsiness.  Fortunately, Gu Jianming looks normal, otherwise, the quality of this Guanyin pendant would be difficult to say.  Time passed little by little, and the carving knife in Chu Chen's hand also changed one after another. When he replaced the last carving knife to complete the detailed carving, he picked up the rag on the table and put the carved Guanyin pendant.  He wiped it carefully, then put it in front of Gu Jianming, and said with a smile: "Master Gu, what do you think?" "Good! Very good!" After saying that, Gu Jianming took the Guanyin pendant in his hand and admired it carefully, mouthing  Zhong Huan made "tsk tsk" sounds of admiration from time to time.  Finally, he sincerely praised: "Boss, your craftsmanship has improved rapidly. Let me just say that this Guanyin pendant is really good. It has a dignified shape, a smiling face, a peaceful expression, even body proportions, and realistic hands and feet."  Delicate and dynamic, the carving is so exquisite!" "Master Gu, you are so commendable." Chu Chen waved his hand and said, "I think this face opening is a bit unnatural, and the movements are a bit stiff.  , If these two aspects can be corrected, it should be better, and I think it would be better to use another method to deal with these areas." As he said, he pointed to a few places that he thought needed to be corrected.  Although Gu Jianming agreed with Chu Chen's opinion, he felt that the shortcomings could not cover up the advantages of this jade article. It can be said that except for these points, this Guanyin pendant has reached the level of a master.  How could he not be amazed?  "By the way, boss, how much does this pendant cost?" Chu Chen shook his head and said: "Master Gu, it's pointless for you to ask for money. No matter what, I can still afford a high-end pendant."  !" "Thishow is this so embarrassing?" Gu Jianming said very embarrassed.  Chu Chen smiled slightly and said: "What's wrong with this? You should also know that my eyesight in stone betting is not bad. The cost of high-ice jade like this is not much, so you can accept it with peace of mind."  Jianming thought for a while and said: "Okay, then I'm not polite!" "That's right!" Chu Chen said with a smile: "But I'm not good at polishing, so I can only trouble you to do it yourself." "Completely  No problem!" Gu Jianming said with a smile: "If you have time, how about I tell you how to polish it now?" Chu Chen looked at the time and realized it was still early, so he looked at Wu Ke.  .  Wu Ke said with a reasonable smile: "I have nothing to do, just listen to Master Gu give you lessons!" Chu Chen chuckled, and then the two of them followed Gu Jianming to the polishing machine.  "When we usually polish, there are usually two methods. Bare jade articles such as bracelets and ring surfaces are mostly polished by hand. For flower pieces such as Guanyin and Maitreya Buddha, they are polished by immersion machine. Polishing by immersion machine takes a long time.  "It takes about a week to complete, but a large batch can be polished at one time." Gu Jianming introduced the two of them: "But this is a general situation. We are doing mid-to-high-end jade, so we generally don't need to polish it with a dip machine."  In the interest of time, let me show you the polishing of the ring surface first." After that, Gu Jianming picked up a jade ring surface that had been prepared in advance, and then polished it while introducing it to the two of them.  "First of all, I need to apply a layer of polishing powder to the surface of the carved ring. The green polishing powder is chromium oxide, and the orange-red color is cerium oxide. This step is called applying paste. Doing this has the effect of  "It has a protective effect." After applying the polishing powder, Gu Jianming continued: "Next, I will polish the surface of the ring. You must pay attention to this step. It is better to be lighter than too heavy.  If you polish off more of the jade, it will probably damage the object." After saying that, Gu Jianming began to polish the surface of the ring with a tool, and then polished it again.Completed the steps just now twice.  After finishing, he polished the ring surface with a hard-bristled brush, then polished, washed, waxed and finally dried the ring surface. The entire polishing step was completely completed.  Gu Jianming washed his hands and continued: "Polishing the ring surface should be considered the simplest. If it is jade such as Guanyin and Buddha statues, before fine polishing, small areas that cannot be thrown by large tools must be processed. In this way,  able to take the next step.¡±
