Wei Hua did not notice the change in Ye Yuan's expression, but said with some embarrassment: "Xiao Yuan, I really didn't expect that you would have so many ancient musical instruments here. I want to trouble you with something." After saying this, Wei Hua looked at Ye Yuan with pleading eyes.
"Brother Wei, although we have not known each other for a long time, our tempers are quite compatible, so if you have anything to say, just say it." Ye Yuan could generally imagine what Wei Hua wanted to say.
"Well, I heard Song Ran say that you don't like outsiders coming to your island?"
"Yes! This is a private island. I usually only receive a few friends. If Brother Wei has anything to say, just say it." Ye Yuan nodded and said.
"Look, can you let me call a friend over? I want him to observe these instruments with his own eyes. You also know that there are many instruments here that have been lost. I want him to come over and have a look. , and then imitate these instruments. Don't worry, I guarantee with my personality that he will not destroy any of your instruments." Wei Hua also knew that his request was a bit too much.
So after he finished saying these words, he was embarrassed to look at Ye Yuan again. Ye Yuan did not expect that the other party would make such a request.
Originally, he thought that Wei Hua would offer to purchase these musical instruments of his. Although Ye Yuan would not agree to the other party's acquisition.
But as a friend, he had already planned to give one or two pieces to each other. But unexpectedly, Wei Hua just proposed to imitate it.
Rather than buying. This surprised Ye Yuan.
"Xiao Yuan." Wei Hua saw that Ye Yuan had not spoken for a long time and was thinking about what to say. But when the words came to my mouth, I felt that everything I said at this moment was so feeble.
So he just called out Ye Yuan's name and swallowed the following words abruptly. Ye Yuan pondered for a while, and to be honest, he didn't like asking strangers to come to his island.
So he organized his language and then said: "Brother Wei, if you just want to imitate these instruments, I think there is no need to call someone, right? Can we just do it ourselves? Don't you know how to make guitars? Make these ancient musical instruments. There should be no problem, right?" Wei Hua smiled bitterly and shook his head.
He could tell from Ye Yuan's words that Ye Yuan really didn't understand musical instruments.
"It's different. I have no problem making guitars. But most of these ancient instruments are made of wood or bamboo. This requires deep carving techniques and certain woodworking skills. My friend makes folk music. "This." At this point, Wei Hua held out a thumb and gestured, and then continued: "In front of him, I am not even an apprentice. Apart from knowing some music theory, I basically can't do anything." "Wei Hua also had no confidence when he said this.
After all, what is the friend he calls like? Everyone in the circle knows it. That person was notoriously low in emotional intelligence in the musical instrument circle they were in.
But everyone had to admire his craftsmanship, which was why Wei Hua was so unsure. Wei Hua didn't know whether he was right or wrong in bringing him to Ye Yuan's fishing island.
If it were someone with a slightly higher emotional intelligence, Wei Hua wouldn't be so embarrassed.
"Hahaha, what do you mean, Brother Wei, that I just need to find someone who knows how to carve and has passable carpentry skills? Then you have a way to imitate the musical instruments in the room?" Speaking of this, Ye Yuan He also pointed to the east wing.
"Yes, but Xiaoyuan, when I say that the carpentry skills are decent, I don't mean the decoration carpenters nowadays. I mean the kind that are good at making joints and old skills. It's not the kind you think, who rely on nails to water water. The kind who can do the job. It's really not easy to find that kind of person nowadays." Speaking of this, Wei Hua shook his head.
He could tell from Ye Yuan's words that the other party was politely rejecting his proposal. He was not too upset about this.
After all, showing someone else’s island and other people’s things for you to appreciate is already a huge honor. And in turn, he has to attract outsiders.
Especially think about the temper of the person you want to pull over. Even I feel that my request is a bit excessive.
"Haha, let's go, Brother Wei, I'll ask you to read something." After saying that, Ye Yuan also stood up and pulled Wei Hua directly towards another room.
Wei Hua didn't understand what kind of trouble Ye Yuan was trying to make. Didn’t we just talk about imitation musical instruments? Why did you suddenly take me to visit again?
Are there any instruments that haven't been taken out before? So Wei Hua followed Ye Yuan with anticipation.
He wanted to see what other musical instruments Ye Yuan valued so much. When Ye Yuan opened the door of a room again, Wei Hua was also shocked by what was inside.
This room was filled with half-finished furniture, and what surprised Wei Hua the most was that these furniture were all imitations of Ming and Qing furniture.
And in terms of handwork, they are all made using ancient methods, and there is no trace of modern craftsmanship at all.
Look at the carvings on these pieces of furniture. Wei Hua can be sure that the person who built these furniture is a master sculptor.
Wei Hua finally understood why Ye Yuan asked him that just now. If you let the masters who make these furniture help you imitate those musical instruments, there really will be no problem at all.
If the person he mentioned really wanted to compare his carving skills with this master, there would be no comparison. Wei Hua could still see this.
Wei Hua was very excited at the moment, because these furniture were all semi-finished products. Therefore, the possibility that Ye Yuan bought these was overturned.
Since he didn't buy it back, it meant that Ye Yuan knew someone like this who knew carving and was good at woodworking.
Then if you want to imitate a few musical instruments, it is very likely that you can achieve it.
"Xiao Yuan, where is this master? Can you recommend him to me?" With hope, Wei Hua was of course extremely excited, so he spoke a little faster than usual.
"Uh...Brother Wei, these are what I usually do. I can't be called a master. Do you think my craftsmanship is enough to help you build a few musical instruments?" Ye Yuan replied with a smile.
The reason why he showed his ability in front of Wei Hua. One is because he really doesn't want to invite someone he doesn't know well to his home.
The second is myself, who is very interested in the imitation ancient musical instruments that Wei Hua mentioned. That's why he showed his abilities in front of Wei Hua.
This saves the trouble of strangers landing on the island. I can also learn the skills of making musical instruments from Wei Hua.
This is what he wants to see most. As a homebody and a craftsman, Ye Yuan is still looking forward to making his own musical instruments.
