"What look? I'm a man! A man!" Guan Xiangfeng said angrily.
"Oh, a man... I wonder why this girl is so tall." Song Ergou responded seriously.
It would have been a happy thing to be recognized by others, but the bastard in front of me looked serious. Why was it so harsh in Guan Xiangfeng's ears? I always feel like there's something in this guy's words.
At this time, Ma Laizi was dissatisfied and said: "Listening to your laughter, it seems that you are dissatisfied with my craftsmanship?"
"Garbage!" Guan Xiangfeng said unceremoniously.
Ma Laizi's face suddenly darkened, and other people's expressions were also very ugly. Everyone knew that even Ma Laizi emphasized more than once that he was just a scumbag sculptor who had become a monk on the way. He was not necessarily a good sculptor, but he could barely do it. Eat together. But instead of hitting someone in the face, who can bear it if you call them rubbish in front of them? What's more, they still learned skills from Ma Laizi. Ma Laizi is rubbish, so what are they? Not as good as trash
Guan Xiangfeng was not afraid when he saw everyone's faces. He chuckled and said, "Don't be angry, everyone."
Everyone's expressions improved slightly.
Guan Xiangfeng continued: "I mean this uncle's craftsmanship is rubbish, not human rubbish. Of course, everyone here, your craftsmanship is rubbish!" When he said this, he was already making trouble. Guan Xiangfeng was indeed looking for trouble. He was very unhappy when someone called him a woman. It was not his style not to call him a woman.
Everyone was immediately angry!
Song Ergou sneered: "You girl, you are really cruel in your words. What's the matter? Do you think you are tall and powerful, and you can beat ten of them?" After Song Ergou finished speaking, he touched a hoe.
Seeing this, other people picked up the guy one after another.
Guan Xiangfeng was shocked when he saw this, and then he remembered that this was not a city, this was a countryside! Although rural people are honest, if they really get confused, I will teach you how to behave immediately!
Guan Xiangfeng shouted quickly; "What? Why are you still not convinced by what I said? If you don't believe it, I will show you what is carving, what is wood art! What is art!"
Song Ergou rolled his eyes and cursed: "Fuck off art, I want to see art, just go see those old masters, what are you doing? We are civilized people, we can't scold you if you scold others, so I choose beat you!"
After saying that, Song Ergou came over with a hoe.
Although Guan Xiangfeng is tall and powerful, he is still a college student after all. No matter how long his beard is, he is still a young man who has never been involved in society. He was immediately frightened and quickly backed away, shouting: "Don't come over here, I tell you, it is against the law to hit someone." of!"
Song Ergou grinned and said: "I have been beating people for more than ten years, and I have heard this too many times. Come on, do you want to lie down here and let me beat you, or do I chase you everywhere and beat you?"
"Stop!" At this moment, Ma Laizi spoke.
"Cripple Ma, what are you doing? This guy is full of swear words. I'm going to beat him up. Isn't that too much?" Song Ergou said unhappily.
"I don't know if it's too much or not. I just want to see what kind of art he is talking about. Boy, I can ignore you for the time being if you curse, but if you can't show some level of skill, if you are beaten today, just treat it as such. It must have been a vivid social experience lesson." Ma Laizi hummed.
When Guan Xiangfeng heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Are you playing with crafts? He may not be a master, but he can definitely do better than the old farmer in front of him! So, he said proudly: "No problem, I will open your eyes today!"
Seeing this, Song Ergou curled his lips and stood aside.
Guan Xiangfeng walked nervously past Song Ergou, making sure that this guy wouldn't give him a hoe from behind, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. Guan Xiangfeng was really shocked when he saw it! The bamboo in front of you is of excellent quality! Better than any bamboo he had ever seen! It’s emerald green, and it’s a piece of art without carving!
Picking it up and looking at the horizontal stripes, Guan Xiangfeng exclaimed in his heart!
Guan Xiangfeng studied sculpture, and his goal was to become a world-famous master of sculpture. Although he seemed unskilled, he worked hard in this area, and the books he had read could pile up into a small mountain. . Due to his own economic conditions, he has carved various materials. Bamboo carving is no stranger to him, and he has done it himself.
Guan Xiangfeng knows very well that not all bamboos are suitable for carving. Among the bamboos, the ones suitable for carving are Nan bamboo and Moso bamboo. This kind of bamboo has thick flesh and fine and tight texture, which is very suitable for carving. But this is not the best among bamboos. The real best is an extremely rare square bamboo with a nearly square cross-section! This kind of bamboo is the real top bamboo carving material. This kind of bamboo grows more in the Tianmu Mountain area in the south, but is absolutely absent in the north. However, although the bamboo in front of me is round in appearance, not a square bamboo with sharp edges and corners, the inside is just as tight and thick, and it feels great to press it with your hands!
Guan Xiangfeng knows that this kind of bamboo is definitely the top carving material for bamboo carving! Even better than square bamboo!
Thinking of this, Guan Xiangfeng looked at the discarded bamboo carvings on the ground and felt distressed. He cursed in his heart: "Prodigal! These prodigals are wasting materials! They actually use such good materials to practice, God damn it. , it deserves to be struck by lightning!"
Looking at the cold bamboo in his hand, Guan Xiangfeng wanted to curse even more. Real bamboo carvings are very particular about the materials. They will never use fresh bamboo. They are usually cut and soaked in water, and then taken out to dry in the shade. This process takes a long time. It takes up to two or three years before it can be taken out and used. But the leaves of the bamboo in front of me have not been shaved off. It is obviously fresh bamboo! Seeing bamboo like this, he felt even more painful...
At this moment, Guan Xiangfeng heard someone muttering beside him: "Let him do it. Anyway, these bamboos are the worst among cold bamboos. If he breaks them, they won't be worth anything."
"Well, that's right..."
When Guan Xiangfeng heard this, his heart trembled. Such a good bamboo was actually the worst? So what should the best look like? Guan Xiangfeng's mind suddenly became active. He must see what the best cold bamboo looks like, and then get some back and carve them out as his graduation project!
The excited Guan Xiangfeng took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and began to carve.
What Ma Laizi carved was a Zen-character pen holder, which is also the most typical object among bamboo carvings. Bamboo is all over the body, and the most suitable parts for carving are the bamboo body and bamboo roots. The bamboo body is straight, hollow inside, and has a bottom below. As long as it is cut open, it becomes the perfect pen holder.
Guan Xiangfeng wanted to teach these ignorant villagers how to behave, so he naturally chose the objects carved by the other party to carve, so that he could compare who was good and who was bad. As soon as Guan Xiangfeng struck the knife, Ma Laizi knew that he was destined to lose. No matter how he looked at it, he was more professional than him.
