Chapter 600 Master Ge Zhong
When Zhuang Rui saw Master Ge taking out a carving knife and was about to work, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly and saying, "Master Ge, don't you need to draw and write first?"
Although his own craftsmanship is very lively, Zhuang Rui's vision is not comparable to that of ordinary people. With the insight of his head, Zhuang Rui is no stranger to this engraving process.
Generally, when carving a seal by hand, you should first use a brush on the face of the seal, write the font to be engraved, and then use a carving knife to start shoveling words and picking mud. This is a common step of hand-carving. "But when it comes to Ge Fengfu, there is no intention of writing at all.
"Hehe, the name is elegant, flower, bird, insect and fish, I only need a carving knife, all of them are in a square inch, Boss Zhuang, look..."
Master Ge smiled and said something like an advertisement, but I sat there without moving. I carefully observed the seal stone in my hand. After playing with it for a while, I thought for a moment, and the carving knife moved on the chicken blood stone.
The chicken blood stone picked by Zhuang Rui is not round but square. It is a rectangular stone that is not very regular in shape. He also took it to make up the number temporarily. If it is really a seal stone sold to the outside world, it must be processed again.
To Zhuang Rui's surprise, Master Ge did not directly use the knife on the face, but decorated the chicken blood stone. The carving knife in Master Ge's hand steadily and powerfully trimmed some rough places on the surface of the chicken blood stone one by one, and the whole material looked much more pleasing to the eye.
Master Ge, who was holding a carving knife, became extremely quiet at this moment. It seemed that the flow of people entering and leaving the store had no impact on him at all. Even beside him, it became quiet. When some guests passed by from here, they also stopped and stopped to watch.
To be honest, although Zhuang Rui entrusted the ancient man to carve several objects, he has never seen the appearance of the ancient uncle when he was working. It was really the first time to see the seal engraving on the spot. At this moment, his mind was also attracted by Master Ge's flowing movements.
A small carving knife, in Master Ge's hands, seems to have become spiritual. The left and right carving, the action is very blocky, which makes people quite dazzled. Obviously, the carving knife is still on it in front of him, and the next moment appears in a seemingly unrelated place.
Just like a master's painting, Master Ge's face is very serious at this moment. His eyes are wearing presbyopia glasses, staring at the carving knife and seal stone in his hand. What kind of shape can this stone be carved? Master Ge has already been in his heart.
The insider watches the doorway, and the layman watches the hustle and bustle. Except for Zhuang Rui and Zhao Hanxuan, the other people who are watching Master Ge's engraving are a little inexplicable, because the position of Master Ge's front and back fell, which seems to have nothing to do with the front.
After nearly an hour, everyone slowly understood that a dragon head seal had appeared in Master Ge's hand.
Master Ge should have carved a headless dragon. The dragon head is high, his eyes are open, and the dragon's mouth is slightly open. What is more vivid is that at the opening of the dragon's mouth, there is also a red dragon ball. After the original rough chicken blood stone has been processed by Master Ge, it has become an exquisite handicraft.
The carved work is finished, but today's theme is seal engraving. Master Ge raised his head and said to Zhuang Rui, "Boss Zhuang, come up with a question...
"Xiangfu, you can engrave a few words casually. The quality of this object is not very good, I
I want to practice by myself..."
Zhuang Rui now has no doubt about Master Ge's craftsmanship. Let's not talk about the seal carving skills. The carving of this small handicraft alone can already be called a master.
This dragon head seal, whether conceived or shaped, is completed in just one hour. Without decades of skills and countless carvings, it will never reach such a level of skill.
"The right scene? All right..."
Master Ge agreed, opened the kimono again, took a carving knife, and continued to start the seal carving
.
However, seal engraving is much easier than carving. After about 20 minutes, the whole seal is completed.
After completing the seal engraving work, Master Ge took out a few pieces of sandpaper and polished the whole seal. The sandpaper is also thick and thin. The coarse sandpaper is polished, and the fine sandpaper is polished to polish the surface of the seal. The polished seal is completely different from the original chicken blood stone raw material.
"Boss Zhuang, can you see if the old man's craftsmanship is still done? I haven't engraved the seal for a while, and this hand is a little raw..." Master Ge handed over the dragon head seal to Zhuang Rui, and his tone was full of confidence.
"Master Qian, this is not a craft, but a craft..."
Zhuang Rui has just observed very carefully. Master Ge's beginning is definitely not simple, because this seal is not only seal engraving, but also includes many disciplines such as carving technology, calligraphy and painting art, etc., and this completed seal can definitely be called a handicraft.
"Young man, look at what words this master carved?"
There are some people who like seal engraving. At this time, they can't help reminding Zhuang Rui that the master's carving process is not bad compared with seal engraving.
"Yes, yes..."
Zhuang Rui agreed, took the printing mud handed over by Zhao Hanxuan, and put it on the printing mud
After dipping, spread out a piece of rice paper, put out two fingers in each hand, hold the seal, and print it smoothly on the rice paper.
The use of seals is also exquisite. The ancients' printing is a very prudent thing, such as calligraphy and painting antiques. The seals and postscripts after calligraphy and painting are good are all an indispensable environment for finishing touches. When using seals, you should generally be calm and seal with both hands. When the seal is printed, The hand must be stable so that the seal font can be printed on the paper evenly.
Like the ancient emperor's seal, there were special eunuchs who used seals. They all had to kneel on the ground and kneel above their heads before they could stamp the seal.
Zhuang Rui has seen Uncle De use the seal many times, but now it is normal to use it. Master Ge nodded secretly on the side - it seems that the shopkeeper is an connoced.
Although I'm here to apply for the job today, in today's society, the boss chooses employees, and the employees can also choose the boss. Master Ge came to see it today. If the boss is a person who doesn't know anything and likes to point fingers, then I'm sorry, Master Ge won't serve him.
However, judging from the current situation, although the boss is young, he is very good at speaking and doing things. He is a person who pays attention to the old tradition. There is nothing he can do. The old craftsman recognizes these old traditions.
Zhuang Rui didn't know that it was a gesture of his own printing, which made Master Ge have a good impression on him,
"Suan Rui Zhai Tasting!"
When Zhuang Rui raised his hands, five seal characters appeared on the rice paper.
However, people who have never studied calligraphy generally don't know a few words. There are a few guests next to them, listening to the meaning of these five words to Zhao Hanxuan.
"Boss, I bought this seal. How much is it?"
"This thing is good, money, boss, do you want to sell it?"
What's more, let's just ask for the starting price. In the eyes of everyone, this thing is not just a seal, but a delicate chicken blood stone handicraft.
Zhao Hanxuan is an old businessman. He was afraid that Zhuang Rui would not deal with this situation. He quickly shouted loudly, "Guys, I'm sorry, this seal is engraved with the name of the store, and you didn't buy it back. If you want it, you can make an appointment here, leave the name and phone number to be I will call you..."
After hearing Zhao Hanxuan's words, everyone calmed down, but they surrounded Zhao Hanxuan one after another and prepared to order a seal. Zhao Hanxuan knew something about this industry. At present, he listed the material of the seal, marked the price, and provided it to everyone for selection.
Zhuang Rui will pay attention to these words on the rice paper, for the noise around him
as if unheard of.
These five diaphs use small seals, which can also be called "Qin seals). The fonts displayed on the paper are even and neat. The strokes are as slender as the city and as strong as iron. Without careful drawing, they can directly engrave such a level of font. Zhuang Rui feels that it is an ancient man, and I'm
"Good, good!"
After reading on the paper for a while, Zhuang Rui raised his head, raised his finger to Master Ge and said, "Master Ge, it's an honor for you to come to the small store..."
"Ha ha, Boss Zhuang, you're welcome. Young people of your age also talk about the old tradition, but
Not much^”
Master Ge also had a good impression on Zhuang Rui, and replied with a smile.
"Master Ge, you can't call me boss. Just call me Xiaozhuang in the future. Don't call me boss
I'll talk about it again..."
Zhuang Rui has always respected people with ability, and with Master Ge's craftsmanship, he is probably not an unknown person. Zhuang Rui still has some doubts about Master Ge's ability to come to his own shop, but it is not easy to ask about this matter rashly when others have just come.
"Lao Zhao, mark the seal carved by Master Ge himself, in addition to the seal stone,
In addition, you need to charge a carving worker, 500 yuan per word, set a standard..."
When Zhuang Rui saw that Zhao Hanxuan was surrounded and registered, he quickly added one. It was not that he was obsessed with money, but that Master Ge's craftsmanship was indeed worth the price. If he hadn't been afraid of scaring away the guests, Zhuang Rui would have wanted to offer a price of 1,000 words. ∥〗
"Boss, are you a little too dark? It only costs a few hundred yuan to buy a seal, and this seal needs to be engraved
Thousands of yuan?
"Yes, if that's the case, then we won't buy it..." "Boss, have you lost money?"
After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, the group of people who were going to buy the seal made a noise one after another. Of course, everyone pointed at Zhuang Rui. Y
