Chapter 46 Carving
With the crackdown on internal and external collusion, buying and selling, and the issuance of flour purchase certificates so that people can buy flour, the rumors gradually subsided and the market returned to order.
He Yuzhu also visited the free market after the market stabilized. There was only a small amount of flour, and the price was slightly more expensive than the grain store. Those who are short of food at home sell them to buy coarse grains.
Seeing this situation, He Yuzhu gave up the idea of selling flour.
Time flies by in the blink of an eye and the weather gets colder and colder. Sijiucheng also ushered in the first snow of winter.
When He Yuzhu woke up in the morning, the first thing he did was to add firewood to the fireplace and fire pit. Thanks to the space, He Yuzhu planted some pitch pine, Huashan pine, etc. inside, which allowed him to harvest some pine nuts, and He Yuzhu provided a lot of wood. Otherwise, I really can’t afford to burn it.
Looking at the snowflakes still falling outside the window, He Yuzhu came to the kitchen to make breakfast. Get ready for the rain and make your own beef ramen. There are cooked beef soup and risen dough in the space. Take it out and use it directly.
With He Yuzhu banging, banging, banging ramen in the kitchen. The rain also woke me up.
"Brother, what are you doing?" Yuyu rubbed his eyes and said standing at the door of the kitchen.
"I'll make beef ramen for you. Do you want to eat it?" He Yuzhu continued to ramen.
"I want to eat anything my brother cooks." Yu Yu walked into the kitchen to watch his brother cooking.
As soon as He Yuzhu turned around and saw Yuyu wearing pajamas, he ran over: "You kid ran outside with only such little clothes on. Didn't you see it was snowing outside? Go back and get dressed quickly."
When Yu Yu heard what He Yuzhu said, he stuck out his tongue and ran back to get dressed.
After Yu Yu finished dressing and washing up, He Yuzhu placed two bowls of beef ramen on the dining table. The bowl is filled with sliced beef and a tea egg on top of the noodles.
After breakfast, He Yuzhu sent Yuyu to school and then came back.
Sitting at the desk, he took out a radish and a carving knife. Continue carving. First practice all the carvings and figures you have mastered before. After I became proficient, I remembered the set of carving knives I bought before.
He Yuzhu stood up, found a carving knife, and took out a piece of sandalwood from the space. I picked up the carving knife and tried it. It was a bit laborious and difficult to control. I could only put down the sandalwood and find a softer piece of wood. Carving wood is different from carving food. You can only practice from scratch, starting from the initial lines and graphics and practicing little by little.
Throughout the morning, He Yuzhu gradually mastered the use of the carving knife by virtue of his transformed extraordinary physique. Start with simple graphics and slowly start carving some simple paintings. Sawdust was also piled all over the table.
Look at the time, it's time for lunch. He Yuzhu didn't have to worry about picking up school at noon. I was picked up and dropped off by my master's wife, and I had dinner with Xiaohu at Master's house.
He Yuzhu cleaned the table and came to the kitchen. He was alone and didn't want to cook, so he casually ordered some noodles, cut some braised pork, mixed some pickles, and finished his lunch.
After finishing lunch, I went back to the desk and sat down, picked up the carving knife and continued to practice. After I felt that I could control the carving knife and do whatever I wanted, I started to try to carve some three-dimensional small animals. The first carved sample was a little bunny doll for the clay figurine Zhang brought back from Jinmen by Yuyu.
He Yuzhu carved carefully bit by bit, and slowly the little rabbit took shape. Then compared with the bunny doll, I started to perfect the details bit by bit. He Yuzhu carved very slowly and carefully, and the first finished product was slowly completed. He Yuzhu picked it up and put it together with the doll. The one he carved looked a bit awkward, not as pleasing to the eye as the doll he bought from Clay Figurine Zhang. The body proportions are a bit out of whack.
The failed product was thrown into the fireplace and destroyed. You must not let Yu Yu see it, so as not to damage your image as an omnipotent brother in Yu Yu's heart.
He took out the wood and continued to carve little rabbits, one, two... He Yuzhu became more and more comfortable in carving, and the finished product became better and better. Finally, the wooden bunny carved by He Yuzhu and the clay bunny doll are basically the same.
Look at this little wooden rabbit, it can be given as a gift to the rain tonight.
After returning from the rain at night.
He Yuzhu brought the little wooden rabbit he carved to Yuyu: "Yuyu, look at what this is?"
"Little Rabbit, is this for me?" Yuyu happily took it and asked.
He Yuzhu liked the rain and said proudly: "Of course, my brother spent a whole day carving this."
Yuyu looked at his brother with admiration and said, "Brother, you are so awesome."
He Yuzhu heard Yu Yu's praise and said happily: "What other animals do you like? I will carve it for you tomorrow."
Rainwater: "I also want tigers, monkeys, lions, lambs..."
Listening to Yu Yu wanted to tell all the animals he had seen, He Yuzhu quickly interrupted: "Okay, okay, let's do these first. Brother has to carve them one by one, which is very time-consuming. After carving these, brother will do it again. I'll carve something else for you.
"Then carve a monkey first. I like Sun Wukong." Yuyu thought for a while and said what he wanted most.
He Yuzhu happily agreed: "Okay, tomorrow I will start carving a Monkey King for you."
Hearing that his brother promised to carve a Monkey King for himself, Yu Yu said happily: "Brother, you are so kind."
The next day, after He Yuzhu sent Yu Yu to school, he stayed at home and began to practice carving. To carve Sun Wukong, he had to determine the image of Sun Wukong first. He Yuzhu thought about it. The Monkey King wearing a purple gold crown is very important to him now. It's a bit difficult. It is better to carve a Q version of Sun Wukong.
After spending a day's work, I finally carved out a satisfactory work.
Looking at this Q-version of Sun Wukong, which is about 10 centimeters tall, it is very cute and Yu Yu will probably like it.
When Yuyu came back in the evening, He Yuzhu handed Sun Wukong over to Yuyu: "Take a look, do you like it?"
Yuyu: "Wow, so cute and beautiful. Much prettier than the Sun Wukong in the novel."
Today's villain books are not very finely printed, and the image of Sun Wukong is not very good-looking. But this does not prevent children from liking Sun Wukong.
It was too cold in winter and he didn't want to go out, so He Yuzhu stayed at home and practiced carving. The craftsmanship is also slowly improving. Starting from simple small animals, slowly began to carve figures, and then to complex animals, figures, landscapes, etc.
Time passed and the Spring Festival was coming. He Yuzhu planned to give his master and uncle each a wood carving gift during the New Year this year.
He Yuzhu took out some small-leaf red sandalwood collected in the past two years from the space. Prepare to carve and play with walnuts. You can give it to your master and uncle.
Select a piece of wood of suitable size and cut it into several pieces of the same size. First carve out the shape of the walnut, and then slowly and carefully carve the texture. I carved a dozen walnuts back and forth, and selected the closest ones to form a pair. Then I made several wooden boxes and packed them.
I made a few more sandalwood combs and carved some beautiful phoenix patterns. Prepare to give it to my wife and aunt.
The ones given to senior sister Fan Ting, Yu Yu, Xiaohu, and Fan Yao are all Q-version villains carved in their images.
He Yuzhu was busy and finally finished it before the Chinese New Year.
