Chapter 82 Jade Carving (2)



Rough carving plays a crucial role in this process; once the carving begins, it is very difficult to change, which is what is commonly known as "spilled water cannot be gathered up again."

Therefore, all three of them carefully carved it.

By this time, everyone was hungry, and Bai Shuang said, "Let's stop and rest for a while. Staying too long is bad for our eyes."

Bai Jiu: "I just put sweet potatoes, potatoes, and ears of corn in the coal stove; they should be cooked by now."

Bai Chang looked at him excitedly, "You're amazing! How come I didn't think of doing that?"

Bai Jiu glared at him, "You chicken-headed fool, how could you think of that?" Bai Chang was born in the Year of the Rooster, and Bai Jiu often used this to tease him.

Bai Chang: "I understand now, rats have an exceptionally keen sense of smell for food." (Bai Chang was born in the Year of the Rat)

"Then don't eat it."

Bai Shuang: "Alright, alright, stop arguing."

The group took off their work clothes and stretched a bit. After carving for a long time, not only their eyes couldn't take it, but their necks couldn't either.

"Now I finally understand how hard jade carvers work."

We should also release the snow leopard from the space quickly, otherwise that guy will be hard to appease.

Sure enough, the snow leopard ignored them as soon as it came out and went to lie down in its den by itself.

Bai Shuang didn't try to coax it. The three of them moved around a bit and opened the window to look at the blizzard outside.

Bai Jiu frowned. "When do you think this blizzard will stop? Will it just keep going and going until it buries us all?"

Bai Chang: "If that's really the case, we might as well become snow rats."

When he mentioned the word "rat," Bai Jiu glared at him.

Bai Shuang: "Let's just do what we need to do and not think so much. There's always a way out."

Don't let yourself die from a natural disaster, only to scare yourself to death.

In fact, Bai Shuang was also feeling somewhat heavy-hearted. Based on the initial analysis of the Five Elements spectrum, she only knew that the blue light was very deep, very deep, and that the extreme cold might be very severe, but she didn't know exactly how severe it could be.

Everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared; we'll discuss the specifics later.

After closing the window, the three of them gathered around the stove. Bai Jiu used tongs to take out the roasted sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn on the cob and put them on a plate.

Bai Chang went to the kitchen to get a small plate and a teacup, while Bai Shuang took out a pot of homemade milk tea that was good for the lungs and clearing heat.

The three of them peeled and ate, ignoring the snow leopard.

The snow leopard was sulking when the aroma of roasted corn wafted over, mixed with the smells of roasted sweet potatoes and potatoes, and it seemed to even smell its favorite milk tea.

It couldn't take it anymore, and with a "whoosh," it stood up. Didn't these unscrupulous companions know how to coax it? All they knew was how to eat.

It snatched its food bowl; my dog ​​grandpa is here to steal its food.

Seeing the snow leopard's menacing appearance, the three of them twitched at the corners of their mouths.

The snow leopard put down its food bowl and was about to put its mouth into the plate when Bai Jiu quickly stopped it.

"Uncle Xue, please don't, you'll burn your mouth. Let me serve you instead."

Bai Shuang and Bai Chang couldn't help but laugh.

Bai Shuang: "Snow Leopard, it's for your own good that we don't let you into the jade carving room. If a dog smells jade dust, it will sneeze every day."

Snow Leopard: Ah, sneezing every day? Really? Then I don't want to anymore, I'd rather go have some fun in the space.

Once the snow leopard had food, it had no worries and quickly went to eat.

After the three of them had eaten and drunk their fill, they were about to continue carving jade. This time, the snow leopard obediently lay down in its den to sleep and refused to enter the jade carving room again.

The fourth step is fine carving and finishing.

After roughly sketching out the general outline, the artwork in the hands of the three gradually took shape. The next step was to carry out fine carving to make the lines smoother, more natural, and more lifelike!

Although it was the first time the three of them had learned jade carving, they were all very skillful.

Bai Jiu is skilled in mechanics. When he has nothing to do, he likes to tinker with parts. The more he practices, the more skillful he becomes, which can be seen from the birthday gift he gave to Bai Shuangdiao.

Bai Changshan is skilled in electronic network products, so naturally he is meticulous.

Bai Shuang is a doctor who deals with people's bodies, administering acupuncture, performing surgery, etc., so she can't do it without skill.

All three were beginners and were working on it slowly. Before they could finish the fourth step, it was already dark, and it was time to make dinner.

After a day of working on the jade, everyone was tired. Bai Jiu suggested that they eat sauerkraut and beef dumplings, which they had made last time.

When the snow leopard heard that it was going to eat dumplings, it stopped pretending to be aloof and hurriedly brought its food bowl. Luckily, it had been given some lightly seasoned dumplings last time, otherwise, it would have been difficult to satisfy it.

The three of them ate and chatted.

Bai Jiu: "I've heard that jade from the Kingdom of Vantaa is also faked."

Bai Chang: "Before the disaster, there was a coal mine owner who spent two million to buy a fake one in Wanta Country."

Bai Jiu: "Tell me quickly, tell me what happened."

Bai Chang ate and talked at the same time.

A coal mine owner went to the jade market in Vantaa, not intending to buy anything, but just out of curiosity.

One day, while browsing the market with a friend, he saw a jadeite rough stone with a window cut into it. His friend said to him, "This one is expensive, but you can already see the jadeite inside, so you won't lose money."

Since he was going to buy it, he decided to buy a good one. He specifically spent two million yuan to buy a piece of imperial green jadeite with a window.

After returning to China, he excitedly sought out a jade carving master to help him carve the jade.

After careful examination, the carving master made a startling judgment: this 3 million yuan jadeite is fake!

The sculptor believes that the captivating imperial green layer was artificially applied, not natural jadeite.

The boss didn't believe it, so the craftsman found a hammer and gently tapped the stone. Cracks fell off the surface of the stone, and when he picked them off with his hand, they came off easily. The stone was covered with a layer of green substance.

Everyone present was stunned by what they saw! The coal mine owner turned pale and was speechless for a long time, unable to accept this cruel reality.
