There are actually not many wood carving masters who can get this price in Yanjing City.
"I won't give it to you for free." Huang Tianba waved his hand, but ignored this kid. It was not because of whether it was money or not, but because this thing was too difficult. Huang Tianba really didn't want to save so much money to make himself spend so much money.
Seeing that Huang Tianba refused, the boss looked regretful and forced a business card to Huang Tianba and said, "In the future, if you need wood or want to sell some wood carvings, call your brother to ensure you are satisfied."
Huang Tianba took the business card casually and went out to buy some fruit, cigarettes and alcohol from Xiao Ying, and then drove straight to Xiao Ying's uncle's house.
Xiao Ying's uncle's house is not in Yanjing, but in a small county town next to Yanjing. Huang Tianba was clear about the Hedong area and drove for about three hours to this prefecture-level county that is not famous in China.
Under Xiao Ying's guidance, Huang Tianba quickly drove his signature pickup truck to the community where her uncle lived. The two of them were carrying large bags of gifts and were about to go upstairs, and a middle-aged man who looked two-part to Xiao Ying just walked downstairs.
The man's figure is already a little fat, and he is holding a cigarette in his mouth. He is holding a cell phone to call. When he saw Huang Tianba and Xiao Ying, he was slightly stunned. He quickly came up to help get the things and smiled and said, "You guys come here, why are you buying so many things? You are so intimate with your uncle?"
"You can't come empty-handed," Xiao Ying looked at her uncle and smiled, pointed at Huang Tianba and said, "Aren't you going to see your niece? You brought someone to you."
"Hello uncle, my name is Huang Tianba. I heard Ying'er say that my uncle likes wood carvings, and I happened to know a little more, so I prepared a small gift. I hope my uncle likes it." Huang Tianba hurriedly took out the wood carving in his pocket and handed it to the elder.
"Oh, you guy is too polite." Liu Cong grinned, took the gift from Huang Tianba and patted him on the shoulder. It was a pleasing thing for young people to be polite and respect their elders after all. As for the wooden carving he gave, he didn't care much about it. After accepting it, he took a casual look and could no longer move his eyes.
Xuanwu is very common in wood carvings because turtles mean longevity, and Xuanwu is in the north, which is one of the most common wood carvings in the north.
Liu Cong likes wood carvings and his family has a lot of wood carvings, including two of which Xuanwu wood carvings, but compared with the wood carvings given by Huang Tianba, he was embarrassed to take them out and meet people.
The first level of whether a wood carving is good or not is similar in shape. To make a wood carving look similar, it is already a very high level. After all, this thing cannot make any mistakes. Once it makes a mistake, it means that it needs to be done again.
After the resemblance of the form, it is the second layer of the same spirit, which is the so-called lifelikeness.
The wood carving given by Huang Tianba is exactly in line with this point. Whether it is Xuanwu's expression or the hideous black snake on his back, they are all portrayed in an extremely well-equipped manner.
Seeing his uncle holding the wood carving, Xiao Ying was stunned. He couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, it's okay." After being called by my niece, Liu Cong came to his senses and hurriedly took the wood carving and said, "I was shocked just now. Is this wood carving good? Did Xiao Huang carve it himself?"
"Yes, I'm still watching from the side and carved one for me." Xiao Ying's mood improved when she saw that her uncle liked the gifts given by Huang Tianba so much.
After all, every woman hopes that the man she likes can be recognized by her elders, and she is no exception. For her, her uncle is now the closest relative in the world.
"Awesome, it's such a magical craftsman. Is this wood still a camphor tree? Xiao Huang is so kind." Liu Cong's favor for Huang Tianba instantly filled up, and then patted Huang Tianba's shoulder heavily and said with a smile: "I'll feel relieved to entrust my Ying Er to a young man like you."
"..." Xiao Ying was speechless and looked at her uncle and complained: "Uncle, did you buy you a wood carving?"
"That's not a wood carving matter. I just look at people through wood carving. A man who can be willing to buy camphor wood and has this skill must be rich or capable of making a lot of money. This is called passing the economic strength."
"Secondly, wood carving is a technical job, which is not something that everyone can learn. The wood carving people we play chess and fishing are actually similar. They all pay attention to self-cultivation. All wood carving craftsmen have one characteristic, that is, they are calm and stable, and they can become great. In addition, Xiao Huang is willing to be so concerned about an elder I have never met before, which is filial piety."
"You can make money and have a calm personality. You can become a great person in the future. When you treat your elders filial, you will definitely love your wife and children and value friendship. Such a good man can't be seen casually." Liu Cong began to analyze his niece with great sincerity.
Huang Tianba, who was beside him, wasn't he happy. This is his own uncle, right? He quickly agreed: "Uncle is really as insightful as watching the fire and seeing countless people. Without rich life experience, he really can't achieve the realm of Ye Zhiqiu like his uncle. I would have such wisdom as my uncle at the age of my uncle."
"I have no characteristics, I have met many people. I am indeed better than ordinary people," Liu Cong also enjoyed it.
"I think you two are uncles and nephews." Xiao Ying felt a headache when she heard the two bragging about each other and urged: "Pick up the things first, don't let people laugh here."
"Hey, my uncle told you all the heartfelt words, you kid don't believe it." Liu Cong said, but he still helped carry the things upstairs.
What he said just now is not a joke, but he really thinks that he must have put in hard work to have such carving skills.
If you put in such a lot of hard work at a young age, your mind is amazing. Such a man will definitely achieve great things in the future. For women, does not the happiness of life depend on the economic conditions of future men?
Otherwise, why would the older generation say that poor couples are sad?
Huang Tianba also thought that this elder was indeed very interesting to speak. He was a smart person. Unlike some elders who saw their daughter bringing their boyfriend home, they first acted like a three-party trial.
After going upstairs, the three of them put down their things. Liu Cong took out things in the house to entertain Huang Tianba and the others. He did not go again after he lost his wife in his early years. He was the only one at home, and the things were placed relatively casually, with large and large wooden carvings everywhere, which was obviously due to their love.
"The house is quite messy, Xiao Huang, please be casual. I'll go and offer this Xuanwu first." Liu Cong smiled with the Xuanwu wood carving that Huang Tianba gave him.
