On the third day, Cai Hongming came to Yu Feihong's house as an appointment.

I rang the doorbell at the door and the person who came out to open the door was a middle-aged woman, like Yu Feihong's wife.

"Hello, Auntie, I'm here to find Master Yu. I've made an appointment with him the day before yesterday."

The woman looked at him and said, "You are the young man who uses the black jade to carve the gourds for Lao Yu!"

"Yes, auntie."

"Come in! I heard Lao Yu talk about you yesterday." After hearing that it was him, Yu Feihong's wife asked him to come in and took him to the living room. "You sit down here first, and I'll call Lao Yu out."

"Please trouble you, aunt."

"No." After saying that, she walked in and called her husband.

The living room was filled with all kinds of uncarved jade raw stones and carved ornaments. Cai Hongming had never seen so many jades before, so he walked over and took a closer look.

After a while, Yu Feihong walked out of the carved gourd, and followed an old man behind him.

"Hongming is here, sit down. This is the carved gourd, look." Yu Feihong handed the gourd to Cai Hongming, then sat at the table to make tea, and introduced to him: "This is my father, the old jade master. Dad, Hongming is the owner of the black jade."

"Hello, uncle." Cai Hongming shouted politely to the old man.

"Okay, okay." The old man nodded and replied, "Young man, it's a pity that you used such a good jade carved gourd."

"Uh..." Cai Hongming didn't know what to do.

His jade was dug from the mountain, and it costs no money, so he didn't feel any regrets. But the old man is different. He has been working in the jade industry for so many years and knows the prices of these things. Good quality black jade has always been very rare on the market, especially this top-quality black jade that is as black as pure lacquer and as fine as cream, which is even rare. The price is also amazing. Pendants made of this black jade on the market are as expensive as this kind of black jade. If his black jade is made of jewelry, the price is simply terrible.

"Actually, I feel that the gourd carved by Master Yu is good." Cai Hongming glanced at Yu Feihong and said.

The carved gourd looks crystal clear and transparent, like a dew grape, full and dripping, smooth to the touch, and as delicate as the skin, so he is very satisfied.

"What's good, there's no creativity at all."

The old man said with a beard and stared at him, and then said to Yu Feihong who was making tea: "I was a mess at first sight. I told you a long time ago that we should have our own thoughts and vision in our industry, and don't just carve whatever others are. Look at your gourd, it's just like a gourd, without any artistic imagination. Fortunately, the young man didn't care. If it were someone else, he would have thrown it away long ago."

Yu Feihong pulled her face and wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.

Anyway, the old man is right. If he carved this gourd, he would return to nature, and he would copy other people's ordinary things. In the past, if he talked about art with him, he would spit on you and say, "Bad art," they do this business, and they are just making a living and art. Now they are starting to talk about art with style.

Cai Hongming looked at the gourd and felt it was good, not as serious as the old man said. When he opened the gourd, he saw that it was hollowed out and there was enough space to put the Yuchan liquid, which was very suitable for him.

Hearing the old man said Yu Feihong to be useless, he quickly said to the side: "Uncle, I feel that this gourd carving is OK..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the old man, "What can you do? It's so messy. It's not that I said he was not carving well. If he wanted to carve a gourd, it would be okay, but what he wanted to carve a bunch of gourds. If they were all like this, it would be too unreasonable. How could he be so shallow? Carving gourds, one can be like this, but if there are too many, it will be different. Two must be carved into dragons and phoenixes or yin and yang gourds, and pairs; three are the three talents of heaven, earth, man, and three have to carve three different patterns on it; four have to carve out plum, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum, four gentlemen, four beauties, four divine beasts, etc.; five have to carve out blessings, wealth, wealth, and five have to carve out blessings, longevity, wealth, and so on. Only the carved things will look good and will not make people feel abrupt, and the sets of things are also more valuable."

As the old man said, he said to Yu Feihong again: "Look at what you carved. Do you think you are a master if you get the master certificate? Do you think your master certificate is really obtained by you based on your ability, no, it was someone who sold me the face to you. Look at the things you carved over the past few years, and there is no decent work. If this is still the case in the future, you should not do well in this industry, so as not to lose my people."

The old man said a lot of anger, and he couldn't help but feel dry. Yu Feihong quickly handed over a cup of tea.

He knew my temper. Anyway, if he didn't scold him for a day, he would feel uncomfortable all over and he would get used to it.

After drinking tea, the old man said to Cai Hongming again: "Young man, you shouldn't have looked for him for a mo jade. You want to find me. My skills are much better than him. I have ruined your treasure in vain."

Yu Feihong grinned, thinking that he had said this, why did he try hard to lower himself to raise himself and attack others like this? He had already taught him a lesson when Cai Hongming came. He saw that Lie Xinxiu wanted to do it by himself when he saw the best black jade. These are all the problems of the old man, and he couldn't see good things and was jealous.

"No! I think Master Yu's craftsmanship is very good." Cai Hongming said in a daze that he failed to understand the old man's meaning.

"It's far from it." The old man looked disdainful and asked again: "By the way, young man, why are you carving so many gourds? It's a pity that a large piece of jade can be carved into gourds. It's best to carve it into a large ornament, so that it can be sold at a good price."

After hearing this, Yu Feihong looked at Cai Hongming, and he was also curious why Cai Hongming carved all the black jade into a gourd.

You know, such a large piece of top-quality black jade is very valuable whether it is divided into ornaments or made into ornaments.

Cai Hongming couldn't tell them that he wanted to see if he could be used to hold the jade toad liquid, so he could only lie: "Actually it's nothing. I found that using jade to hold the wine will taste particularly mellow, and it's better than what we use ordinary bottles, so I wanted to carve it into the gourd."

"Just for this?" The old man glared at him.

"Yes." Cai Hongming felt a little weak when he saw it.

"There's not that much, young man, it's a pity to carve all the jade into a gourd," the old man persuaded with great sincerity.

"Hongming, in fact, you don't need so many gourds to hold wine. If you want, I still have some jade here. You can use those jade carvings as much as you want. Let my dad carve the rest for you. How about it?" After saying that, he was afraid that Cai Hongming would be worried and continued, "Don't worry, my dad is a national treasure-level engraver and his skills are much better than mine."

"snort..."

His father was obviously dissatisfied with his explanation of being extravagant. Do he still need his skills?

The father and son took turns bombing here, and Cai Hongming didn't want to nod. In fact, he didn't need so many gourds he used to hold the Yuchan Liquid, but he also had to see if this gourd could hold the Yuchan Liquid. If it could, continue to carve the gourd. If it didn't work, there would be no point in continuing to carve it.

Cai Hongming thought for a while and said, "Let me think about it, I will give you an answer tomorrow."

"Okay, okay, think slowly, come and have a tea."

The old man was very happy to hear that Cai Hongming was willing to consider it. As long as he didn't attack the piece of black jade, it would be difficult to carve it into a large ornament if cut it down. You should know that such a delicate texture, fine texture, and as dark as ink, is very rare than the best black jade with Hotan mutton fat white jade, especially such a large one. If he was allowed to carve it into a gourd, he would be really confused.

After drinking some tea, Cai Hongming came out of Yu Feihong's house. In the evening, he took some from the jade tripod that condensed the jade toad liquid and put it in the gourd to see if the black jade gourd can preserve the jade toad liquid.

When he got up the next day, he found that the jade toad liquid in the black jade gourd was still intact, and it was not as stinking as before when it was put in a bottle overnight. He quickly called Master Yu and asked him to continue carving the gourd. However, he didn't let him carve so many at first, only five. He thought about it and felt that what Yu Feihong's father said was not unreasonable, not to mention that he had a large amount of income. If he had money, he would be a bastard.

Although the matter had already been agreed on the phone, Yu Feihong still asked him to go home. So he went out and drove over.
