    The yellow Ruyi in Chu Chen's hand has a Ganoderma-shaped head, and the edges follow the shape.  Inside, there are bas-relief sculptures of a chime, longevity and two bats.  The back of the Ruyi handle is hollowed out, the front is raised, and a plum blossom is embossed in the middle dome.  The tail of the handle is carefully decorated, which is a commonly used decoration in the palace.  This piece of Ruyi has few carvings and decorations, it is concise but not exclusive, and it has all the auspicious meanings.  Over time, the surface of the instrument has gradually aged, forming a moist patina, making it a rare masterpiece.  It¡¯s just a pity that Ruyi¡¯s head was slightly bruised.  But even so, this Huang Ruyi should be worth more than 200,000 yuan. If he could buy it for 50,000 yuan, Chu Chen would be quite satisfied.  Holding the things in hand, Chu Chen walked happily to his antique shop.  When Chu Chen walked into the store, he found that Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu were there, so he smiled and said hello to everyone.  When Lao Wu saw that Chu Chen was in a good mood, he smiled and asked: "Boss, what good thing happened to you today, making you so happy?" "Here, I just picked up two leaks" Chu Chen smiled and showed the things on his hands.  For a moment.  Hearing Chu Chen mention the word "picking up leaks", Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu couldn't help but perked up, and quickly asked for the things and observed them carefully.  Zhou Wenping saw the name left on the arm rest and exclaimed: "Hey, is it still a work by Zhou Zhiyan?" Chu Chen smiled and nodded: "It is indeed made by Zhou Zhiyan." In the past, Chu Chen also dealt with Zhou Zhiyan's work.  work, but it was Liu Sizhe who bought it that time. He only spent a few hundred yuan at that time, and the value was higher than the armrest in front of him.  Of course, it doesn¡¯t mean that the armrest in front of you is not good.  If we look at the artistic level shown, this armrest is a masterpiece.  It's also outstanding.  The method of resting the knife on this arm is mostly incised, which is different from the high relief or deep multi-layered ones in the Ming and early Qing Dynasties.  The outline shape is mostly cut out with a knife. It is wide, narrow, shallow and deep, and the length and length are straight and oblique.  The branches of the trees are cut with a sharp edge, and the marks are sharp and vivid, full of the charm of ink painting.  This armrest is Zhou Zhiyan¡¯s early imitation of Juran¡¯s brushwork.  Using a knife is like using a pen, it is like a manuscript, it is natural and smooth, and the method is thick and light, vivid and muddy. The landscape carved is like a human being without eyes and ears, a house without a window lattice, and a tree without a tiny speck.  There is no strategy for a bridge, and it is beyond the reach of others.  In addition, there is a Zhiyan model left in the blank space, which is quite literati.  It¡¯s just that this armrest is Zhou Zhiyan¡¯s early work.  It is not as sophisticated as the middle and later stages, and the artistic level shown is lower than Liu Sizhe's post-production work by Zhou Zhiyan.     certainly.  Even so, buying an arm rest with a market price of around 30,000 yuan for 1,000 yuan is an extremely happy thing.  After Lao Wu looked at both things.  He looked a little disappointed and said: "It's only a few hundred thousand!" Chu Chen smiled and said: "Brother Five, how much value do you think we should need?" Lao Wu chuckled and said: "That's all.  Your luck is worth at least a million!" Chu Chen smiled and shook his head: "No matter how lucky I am, I can't always miss a million, right?  "It's not like cabbage. How can there be so much to pick up?" "Actually, for a period of time, Chu Chen also felt that he had so much money and had special powers. It would be really hard to pick up something worth tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands.  Not interesting.  However, after he picked up a small leak without using his powers, he felt that this idea was too childish.  After all, money is dead. As the old saying goes, no matter how much money you have, you can't buy everything in the world.  And picking up leaks is a kind of fun for him. No matter how small the leak is, the joy it brings to him cannot be bought with money.  Zhou Wenping patted Lao Wu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Lao Wu, don't be too ambitious. It seems you haven't even picked up leaks worth more than 100,000 yuan, right?" Lao Wu didn't take it seriously and said with a smile:  "How can I compare with the boss" As soon as he said this, everyone saw Xie Gong walking in from the door with a smile on his face.  After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, Chu Chen said with a smile: "Mr.  Xie Gong's face no longer looked sad some time ago, and his grandson was recovering well, making him look somewhat radiant.  Later, Xie Gong thanked Chu Chen: "Boss, I would like to thank you on behalf of my grandson. If it weren't for you, it's still unknown whether he could have survived." Chu Chen waved his hand and said, "Mr. Xie, I  It¡¯s just a piece of cake, no big deal! Also, you don¡¯t have to be so polite, just call me Xiao Chu.!  Hearing this, Xie Gong quickly shook his head and said, "This is not okay!"  You are my boss, and if I call you Xiao Chu, that¡¯s a bit awkward, right?  " Seeing Xie Gong's resolute attitude, Chu Chen said, "How about this? We call it this in the workplace, and you can just call me Xiao Chu in private.  " Seeing that Xie Gong still wanted to object, he quickly said: "Mr.  " Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu nodded quickly, indicating that this was indeed the case. "Okay" Everyone did this, and Xie Gong naturally chose to go with the flow. Then, he said: "Boss, I want to start working today.  "Seeing Xie Gong's eager look, Chu Chen smiled slightly and asked Lao Wu to sit here first, and then took Xie Gong and Zhou Wenping to Mr. Xie's studio. To be honest, since  After buying the next door together, Chu Chen felt more at ease than before. This was also because the location of his safe was only separated by a wall from the store he bought now, although this aspect had already been improved when the safe was renovated.  I have considered it, but it is undoubtedly safer now. Chu Chen led the two of them upstairs. Except for the side close to the safe and another section, the rest of the place was used as a lacquer carving workshop.  ¡°When I came here last time, I said it was too big here and it felt lonely to be alone.  "Xie Gong said with a smile. Chu Chen laughed when he heard this and said: "Mr.  " Mr. Xie also smiled and said: "Boss, you are planning to use me as a long-time employee" Everyone joked for a while, and Mr. Xie said: "I really can't take ten or eight apprentices, and I don't want to mislead anyone.  Disciple, let me take two first.  "    "OK!  Zhou Wenping nodded: "I will write a recruitment announcement in a while, and then I will let you take care of it yourself!"  " "Okay" Then, Zhou Wenping took the two of them to the storage room and said, "Mr.  If it¡¯s not right, I¡¯ll ask someone to send it over¡± ¡°The process of lacquer carving in Beijing is very complicated. It requires more than a dozen processes such as design, tire making, painting, tracing, engraving, and polishing. Each process requires very high skills.  For example, there are seven kinds of paints, including raw paint, moisture-added paint, top paint, and colored paint. In carving paint, there are mainly two types of tung oil used to prepare top paint, as well as various pigments and tire materials.  One is the copper material used to make carved lacquered inner tubes. This kind of tire material is mostly made into bottles, cans, boxes, washers, stoves, etc. Most of them are round inner tubes. The other type is used for making.  The wood used to make lacquerware such as screens and furniture is best made from old materials, which are not prone to drying and deformation. Moreover, the wooden bases of different carved lacquer products have different wood requirements, and the wood needs to be processed during the production process.  It has to be put into the hot and humid chamber dozens or hundreds of times, and it has to be put into the drying fire box four to five times, so the selection and pickiness of the wood is essential. The carved lacquer in the capital before liberation was inherited from the Ming and Qing dynasties.  Traditional crafts generally use wooden bodies, tin bodies and bodied ones. After liberation, in addition to furniture and other items, most of the carvings in the capital were made of copper, and the inner walls were lined with enamel glaze. The wood in the storage room was made by Zhou Wenping.  He made countless calls to find the wood, but before Xie Gong confirmed it, he was still unsure. After Xie Gong looked at all the wood in front of him, he nodded with satisfaction: "These wood are very good, they are all good.  It can be made into a good material for fine carving paint!  " After receiving Xie Gong's affirmation, Zhou Wenping was relieved. He smiled and said: "Mr. Xie, do you have any other requests?  "  Come down and admire your old craftsmanship.  " "Boss, this is all a laborious task for me. You may find it too boring."  " Perhaps because he was worried that Chu Chen would think too much, Xie Gong quickly explained: "Our lacquer carving generally includes design, tire making, varnish, drawing, engraving, drying and polishing. The design and tire making, think about it.  Boss, what steps should you take.  " "As for the varnish, it is to apply layers of paint repeatedly on the finished tire shape.  , then apply a second layer, and repeat until the thickness required for the process is reached.  Generally, products are painted in several layers, about 6 mm thick.  Except for the last second step of drying, the rest is all hard work" After hearing the thank you,After explaining, Chu Chen smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, you do your thing, I will satisfy my curiosity, and I will leave later!" Chu Chen just wanted to see how the carved lacquer was made, don't tell me  If he has something to do for a while, even if he is fine, he won't stay for a long time. After all, staying here for a long time will put some pressure on Xie Gong.  "Okay, I'll give you a good introduction to the craft of lacquer carving" Xie Gong nodded. After Zhou Wenping left, he took out the drawing paper, put it on his workbench, and drew while  Let¡¯s introduce it to Chu Chen¡­ (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
