This was customized by a wealthy man in China who spent a lot of money. The request was for a unicorn, but no one had ever seen the unicorn itself. Most people just had such an impression in their minds, so they carved more than half of it. After that, the three old masters had to stop.
"I said, Lao Tong, Lao Lian, you two have been arguing about the limbs of the unicorn for three days, right? Is it necessary? We have never seen a unicorn, but neither has anyone else. Let's just follow the carvings shown online. Isn’t it okay?”
An old man with white hair took a deep breath, full of helplessness.
The old man who was called Lao Lian snorted coldly: "What do you mean by using pictures on the Internet? I mean, Lao Feng, I find that you are paying less and less attention to your works now. If you continue like this, sooner or later the skills in your hands will be lost to you." Throw it away.”
Lao Tong nodded with deep approval: "Old Lian is right. We who make art, aren't we just pursuing every detail and lifelike appearance? What do you think this is? An anticlimax, a tail end? Or a bull's head with a horse's mouth? Lao Feng, Your words disappoint me."
Old Feng laughed angrily at what the two said: "Hey? I said you two are done, right? Well, you two can do it by yourselves, and I'll see how you two carve out a real unicorn. Then we'll see Can I find fault with you!"
"You..." As soon as these words came out, Lao Lian and Lao Tong were both stunned.
Nonsense, no matter how good the carvings are by the two of them, there is still no problem. As I said before, the Kirin itself is a creature in domestic mythology. Like the dragon, no one has ever seen what it looks like. All that happened later. The images are all imagined by people based on a few words in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
In this case, others can easily refute you and leave you speechless. Even if there is no technical problem, the question "Have you seen it?" 'It's enough to completely break you down.
Just as the three of them were arguing, Wang Long ran in from outside and said: "Master Feng, Master Lian, Master Tong..."
"Wang Long, what's the matter with you? How old are you and are you still so frizzy?"
Hearing the noise, Lao Feng turned around suddenly and looked at Wang Long who ran in and scolded him.
Wang Long's face fell: "No, Master Feng, there is a young man outside. He wants to carve by himself, but he doesn't need a machine. He asked us to provide him with a set of carving knives."
As soon as the words fell, the three old men all showed surprised expressions: "Hey? Is the expert here?"
"Maybe he's here to make himself known!"
"No matter what, you asked for it, why don't we go over and take a look? Anyway, there's not much progress here, and if we continue to discuss it, it will probably end in a hasty manner. How about changing the mood, maybe this idea will come up?"
Wang Long breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't find anything strange about the reactions of the three masters. After all, as technology develops faster and faster, many old artists will also choose machine work. Although it is not as delicate as manual polishing, But it saves time and effort, right?
This is true even for masters, let alone novices.
In autumn and winter every year, it receives more than hundreds of thousands of tourists, and there are quite a few people who try it themselves, but most of them just join in the fun and spend money to have fun. It really makes them carve things. One in a thousand people can do it. It would be nice to see what it is.
Of course, that doesn't mean there aren't masters among them, but that kind of person is definitely one in a million, and everyone has studied it specially. Even if they don't study ice sculpture, they still study wood carving and other related majors.
And not surprisingly, those people will use machines to complete their work, manual work?
Ha, no kidding, who has the patience to do that kind of thing in this cold space?
This is also the main reason why Wang Long had such a big reaction when he first heard that Lu Yu needed a carving knife?
"It seems that this carving knife is difficult to get?"
In the factory, Lu Yu looked at the time. It had been almost half an hour since Wang Long left, but there was still no one in sight. He couldn't help but feel happy.
Man Yingsi rolled her eyes angrily: "Boss, what you said is not normal? Which master's carving knife is not inherited? It is a treasure to them, even his own wife cannot easily Touched, you..."
"it's him?"
Before Man Yingsi could finish speaking, she was interrupted, and then she saw three old men coming in a hurry.
As a native here, Man Yingsi covered her mouth in surprise when she saw the three people, and exclaimed: "Master Feng, Master Lian, and Master Tong?"
Then she was afraid that Lu Yu would make some joke, so she hurriedly explained in a low voice: "These three from left to right are Master Feng Tianfeng, Master Lian Haoyunlian and Master Tong Letong. All three of them are ice sculpture professionals. The top figures in the Su Garden outside were carved by the three of them."
Lu Yu suddenly realized, smiled and greeted the three of them, saying, "I didn't expect that I surprised the three of you. I'm really sorry."
Lian Haoyun looked Lu Yu up and down, and said solemnly: "Young man, does he have any disciples?"
Lu Yu was happy, shook his head and said: "No, I am self-taught. Of course, my craftsmanship is definitely not as good as the three of you. I just happened to pass by here today, and I was feeling hungry for a while, so I wanted to carve something to keep as a souvenir. Of course, if the three of you, If the location is inconvenient, then forget it, I never said that!"
Feng Tian patted Lian Haoyun on the shoulder, walked in front of him, and nodded appreciatively: "You are very candid, but you should know that it is basically impossible for us to loan out carving knives. To be honest, You said, this place has been open for many years, but you are still the first one to ask to borrow a carving knife."
Lu Yu shrugged: "I simply think that we should have the kind of carving knives produced here."
"Tch~ Are you looking down on our ice sculptures? To tell you the truth, I don't know about other places, but here in Hulun City, there is no set of standard carving knives except for the carving knife in our hands! "
Tong Le said in a deep voice, seemingly dissatisfied with Lu Yu's words.
Lu Yu was not angry about this. After all, as a master in this industry, the obsession in his heart was indescribable.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Yu continued: "I wonder if you, the three masters, will be lucky enough to use your carving knife? It will be returned to you in two hours at most, and I guarantee that the carving knife will not be damaged in any way!"
Tong Le still wanted to speak, but was stopped by Feng Tian: "Yes, of course you can. As for damaging the carving knife, haha, boy, if you can really break our carving knife, then we can count you too." Be capable.”
After finishing speaking, he didn't give Tong Le and Lian Haoyun a chance to speak at all, so he turned around and said: "Wang Long, go and get my carving knife. Today, old man, I am also here to meet this self-taught little genius. !”
Wang Long blinked and saw that Feng Tian didn't seem to be faking it, so he quickly responded and ran towards the back.
Lu Yu cupped his fists: "Thank you, Master Feng!"
Feng Tian waved his hand indifferently: "Don't thank me in such a hurry. If what you carve out doesn't satisfy me, then I will scold you!"
"good!"
Lu Yu was not angry, but instead smiled and agreed. For a moment, there seemed to be an inexplicable aura between the old man and the young man, which made everyone shiver...
Ten minutes later.
A clean carving table.
Lu Yu held a carving knife that was only half a foot long in his hand. He stood there with his hands behind his back and his eyes closed tightly.
In front of him, there was a piece of ice exactly as he requested.
"What is the boss going to carve? Why haven't you started yet?"
Man Yingsi looked at Lu Yu curiously and whispered to herself.
Liang Xuanzi clasped her hands together, with blind trust on her face, and said with a smile: "It should be a person, right? He should be thinking about how to carve it and where to start."
"?~The little girl knows this very well?"
Feng Tian suddenly turned around, looked at Liang Xuanzi with a smile and asked.
Liang Xuanzi stuck out her tongue guiltily and shook her head: "No, it's just that he made a snowman before, it was very beautiful..."
Speaking of the snowman, Liang Xuanzi's eyes were filled with strong regret. She thought it was the best gift, but she couldn't save it and it melted away.
