Chapter 431 Yifang Yantai
"Rendiao Building! We're here!"
Wu Heng looked up at the tall building and couldn't help sighing, "This time, I finally know what a real crane stands out from the crowd. Compared with the building next to it, this is the real crane!"
According to the guidance of the three people of the State of Qin, Ye Xiao and others came to the Gendiao Building. After parking the two cars, Ye Xiao said, "Wu Heng, you look at the three of them in it. Xiang Yun, you also stay here."
Xiangyun shook her head. She knew the reason why Ye Xiao wanted her to stay here. She said that she was going to get in the way, but the real meaning was that she didn't want anything to happen to her.
"I'll go too." Xiang Yun said, seeing Ye Xiao's resolute face, and quickly said, "According to what they said, they are organized above the 30th floor. The below are all about showing root carvings and buying and selling root carvings. I'm just going to see the root carvings. Doesn't it matter?"
Xiang Yun objected, but Wu Heng was even more unhappy. Why can you fight? I can only make soy sauce here. No, no.
Wu Heng took the initiative and directly. After hiding the pistol on his body, he immediately got out of the car and said, "Han Yang, look at them. Ye Xiao and I will go up. You are not as fast as me."
Wu Heng directly took out his killer speed to threaten Han Yang.
Ye Xiao smiled helplessly and knew that Wu Heng's temper was so big, but he was very playful. He was very unhappy to let him stay here to see people, so he had to smile bitterly and said, "Then Han Yang, stay here."
"Don't worry, I won't have any problems here." Han Yang was too lazy to compete with Wu Heng, so he stayed in the car.
Ye Xiao stuffed a pistol to Xiang Yun, "Take it. In case of any emergency, come out and find Han Yang quickly."
Then, the four of them entered the Gendiao Building, the tallest building in Ganhe County.
There were several beautiful welcome ladies standing at the door. Wu Heng also joked with them. This time it was a secret action. Naturally, Ye Xiao and others would not go above the 30th floor as soon as they came. Let's find out the following situation first.
The first floor is the trading place for root carvings, buying and selling root carvings, but this is not as casual as setting up a stall. The root carvings are very formal.
"Wow!"
Looking at the dazzling variety of root carvings, Wu Heng repeatedly praised, "So many kinds, so beautiful, this is really the hometown of root carvings."
"There is really everything." Wu Heng added that his eyes were completely attracted by the root carving, and his eyes looked around.
Ye Xiao said with a smile: "There are roughly two kinds of root carvings. One is a practical ornamental root carving, which integrates practicality and ornamental. It is mainly practical value and has both ornamental value. Common furniture such as chairs, beds, desks, stools, sofas, coffee tables, screens, flower racks and other commonly used furniture. Look, which ones are there. There are also bookcase supplies such as pen holders, rulers and inkstones made of roots. The root carvings of ornamental furnishings are mainly used for ornamental ornamentation. They are the main part of the root carvings, accounting for the vast majority. According to its modeling characteristics, it can be divided into character type, animal type, bird type, fish and insect type, flower type, aesthetic type and so on. And other natural forms of root art.
With that, the four of them walked into a counter, and the inkstone in the middle of the counter was very conspicuous at a glance."I don't need a brush now, or I'll buy the inkstone back." Wu Heng said with a smile, but he opened his eyes and looked at the price, and suddenly Wu Heng jumped. Damn it, 20,000!
The zeros behind the Arabic numeral two on the price tag made Wu Heng feel pain for a while. He couldn't help blurting out: "It's so expensive, it's a robbery!"
The person in charge of this counter is a soft-gender woman, about 20 years old, wearing a blue uniform. If she is met by a uniform-controlled animal like Fatty Field, she will definitely drool.
Wu Heng's words were heard by her, and she came over with a professional smile on her face and said, "Sir, are you interested in this Fang Yantai?"
Wu Heng also said it casually, but when he saw that the salesperson was soft and beautiful, he couldn't help but want to flirt with him and said, "I'm interested, but miss, your inkstone price is too expensive, isn't it? Twenty thousand yuan! How many kilograms of ribs, how many fish, chicken, duck and fish can I buy for 20,000 yuan? I can't finish it for a year."
Not to mention the beautiful salesman, even Ye Xiao and the other three of them can't laugh or cry. Wu Heng actually compared the value of the root carving with chicken, duck and fish.
"Sir, you are really good at joking. Look at this inkstone, its wood grain is like tiger skin pattern, full of domineering, king style. The wooden knot pattern is as round as money, the color is bright, and the texture is clear and beautiful. This is made of authentic rosewood. It's old, and 20,000 yuan is already our lowest price. The beautiful salesperson said.
Wu Heng was stunned by what he said. After the other party's words, he didn't know how to refute these things that he didn't understand at all.
"This lady, this square inkstone is made of rosewood, but it is not difficult to see that the carved traces account for 40%. In addition, the rosewood has a tiger skin pattern, which is also like a civet spot, also known as "the civet". The old man's tattoos boxing song, and the tender man's tattoo is straight. Judging from the pattern, the age of this rosewood is not as long as you said. You are expensive for the price of 20,000 yuan, and I will pay 10,000 yuan.
When Ye Xiao said this, Wu Heng and Changcheng's eyes widened. How did Ye Xiao understand the art of root carving? They have been together for almost four years, and they don't know anything about it. Xiang Yun looked at Ye Xiao with different eyes, which was so beautiful.
The beautiful salesperson choked and dared to meet an connoy? Once again, he smiled sweetly and said, "Sir, ten thousand is too low. See, sir, he is also a person in this way. I really like this Fang Yantai. I'll make a price, 15,000, how about it?"
"It's only ten thousand." Ye Xiao does not plan to reduce the price.
"Then I can't make the decision. I'll call the boss." The beautiful salesperson said.
When buying things, it is generally said that you can't mainly call the boss to ask about this kind of thing. Nine times out of ten, this deal has been done. Sure enough, after the phone call, the beautiful saleswoman said that the boss agreed, and then the payment procedure.
After swiping the card, the beautiful salesperson installed the inkstone for Ye Xiao.
"Hey, why did you spend 10,000 yuan on an inkstone? Don't forget what we're here to do today? Wu Heng was puzzled and said, "But I didn't expect you to understand this. We haven't found out until we've been dating for so many years."
"I know a lot." Ye Xiao was narcissistic, and it was not a loss to buy this inkstone. Ye Xiao bought inkstones, naturally for his reasons. First, let the enemies who may be hidden in the dark not pay attention to them. Second, his grandfather has a lot of hobbies, and root carving and calligraphy are one of them. The reason why Ye Xiao understands this knowledge is that he has a direct relationship with the old man at home. It's almost the Spring Festival. He sent this square inkstone to his grandfather to satisfy the old man's two hobbies. Why not?
Ye Xiao didn't intend to explain. He handed the inkstone bought for 10,000 yuan to Xiang Yun, and the four of them walked to the second floor.
From the first floor to the fifth floor, it is a place where root carvings are traded. Ganhe County is indeed a place where root carvings are concentrated. There are many customers, speaking dialects from all over China, and even seeing foreigners.
Then, above the fifth floor, it is not a place to trade root carvings, but a variety of strange shapes and lifelike root carvings, all of which are ornamental root carvings.
The four people have feasted their eyes. There are too many! It's so beautiful!
Watching it layer by layer, Ye Xiao found that the form, style, aesthetic interest and craft techniques of each specific work also had its unique and distinctive style. It adopts a concrete performance technique, but the shape is bold and exaggerated, especially those with big heads and small bodies, the setting of big rooms and small, boastful and moderate changes. The depiction of characters does not mean to carve facial expressions, nor does it stick to the proportion of length and short parts of the human body, but to express the dynamic vivid portrayal of the characters, which is intended to highlight the childishness, simplicity, cleansing and bright pleasure of the shape. The figurative body is injected with abstract factors, active, exaggerated and even humorous, making the image full of vitality. When people appreciate it, they no longer pay attention to the accuracy of the structure and proportion of the human body, but are attracted by the sincere and touching image, which is probably the mystery of "big ingenuity".
"In terms of composition, different scenes and characters, or several plots of a story, are often combined into one picture, with pattern patterns, pay attention to the processing of virtual and real primary and secondary, line segmentation, hierarchical rhythm, and pursue the rigor and change of picture structure, and the fullness and balance of composition. Even if a separate pattern is placed on the window lattice, the realistic image should be changed and combined to make it full and thick, and the decoration and practicality have been perfectly combined. Ye Xiao sincerely praised and secretly made up his mind to bring Grandpa to visit once when there is a chance. Grandpa will definitely like it.
