Chapter 0600 – Master Ge (II)

Zhuang Rui saw Master Ge take out the carving knife to work, his eyebrows couldn’t help but pick up slightly, spoke out and said, “Master Ge, don’t you need to draw a sample to write first?”

Although the tide of his own craft work, but Zhuang Rui’s eyesight insights can not be compared to the average person, with the head of the melon of the knowledgeable, to this engraving process, Zhuang Rui is not unfamiliar.

General hand-carved seals, to first use the brush in the seal on the engraved surface, written to carve the font, and then only with a carving knife to start shoveling the word, pick mud, which is hand-carved common steps, but to the master of Ge this, but there is not the slightest to pen the meaning of the word.

“Oh, the name of the elegant name, birds, flowers, insects and fish, only need me a carving knife, all into the square inch, Mr. Zhuang, you see it!”

Master Ge smiled and said something like an advertisement, while I sat there without moving, carefully observing the seal stone in my hand, after playing with it for a while, and after a little thinking, the carving knife moved on the carved chicken blood stone.

Zhuang Rui picked out this piece of chicken blood stone material, non-round non-square, is a shape is not very regular rectangular stone, he is also temporarily used to make up the number, really if the seal stone for sale, it must be processed again.

Let Zhuang Rui strange, Ge master did not directly in the facet knife, but modify the piece of chicken blood stone to, Ge master in the hands of the carving knife, steady and powerful chicken blood stone surface some rough places, one by one, one by one, the whole piece of material also looks a lot of smooth.

Take the carving knife of master Ge, in this moment becomes incomparably quiet, seems to store in and out of the flow of people, he did not have the slightest impact, even with his side, have become silent down, some guests from here walked by, also have stopped, stopped to watch up.

To be honest, although Zhuang Rui had commissioned Master Gu to carve several objects, but he had never seen the way Master Gu worked, watching someone carve a seal on the spot was really the first time, and at the moment his mind was attracted by Master Ge’s movements in the general flow of the clouds and water.

A small carving knife, in the hands of master Ge, seems to become a spiritual general, left and right carving, the action is very block, let a person have a dazzling feeling, obviously in front of watching the carving knife is still above, the next moment appeared in a seemingly unrelated place.

As master painting, Ge master’s face is very serious at the moment, wearing presbyopia eyes, staring at the hands of the carving knife and seal stone, this piece of stone can be carved out of what kind of shape, Ge master has long been in the chest.

Insiders look at the doorway, outsiders watch the fun, in addition to Zhuang Rui and Zhao Hanxuan a few people, other people in the watch Ge master carving chapter, are a little puzzled, because the Ge master before and after the fall of the knife’s orientation, seems to have nothing to do with the front.

After a full nearly a bell, the crowd slowly looked to understand, because a dragon head seal, has appeared in Master Ge’s hands.

Ge master carving should be a headless chi dragon, dragon head high, eyes open, dragon mouth slightly open, more vivid is, in the open mouth of the dragon, there is a red dragon bead, the original rough chicken blood stone after Ge master processing, has become a delicate crafts.

The carving work was considered done, but today’s theme was seal carving, Master Ge raised his head and said to Zhuang Rui, “Boss Zhuang, come up with a topic!”

“Master Ge, you can just carve a few words in response to the scene! The texture of this object is not very good, I originally wanted to practice on my own.”

Zhuang Rui now has no doubt about Master Ge’s craftsmanship, not to mention how the seal carving skills are, just the carving of this small artifact can already be called a master.

This dragon head seal, whether it is the conception of the shape, are in this short one hour to complete, without decades of experience and countless times of carving, absolutely can not reach this kind of skilful degree of hand.

“Responding to the scene? Alright!”

Master Ge agreed and opened his cummerbund again, switched to a carving knife, and continued to start the work of seal carving.

However, seal carving was much easier compared to carving, after about 20 minutes, the entire seal was completed.

After completing the seal carving, Master Ge took out a few sheets of sandpaper and polished the whole seal, this sandpaper is also divided into coarse and fine, coarse sandpaper is to polish the surface of the seal, and fine sandpaper is to polish the surface of the seal, after polishing the seal, and the original piece of raw material of the chicken blood stone, it has been completely unrecognizable.

“Boss Zhuang, let’s see if the old man’s craftsmanship is still good? It’s been a while since I carved a seal, and this hand is a bit raw.” Master Ge handed over the dragon head seal to Zhuang Rui, his tone full of confidence.

“Master Ge, this is not craftsmanship on your part, but craftsmanship now.”

Zhuang Rui has just observed very carefully, Master Ge this is definitely not simple, because this seal is not only seal carving, but also includes carving craft, calligraphy and painting art and many other disciplines, and this has been completed seal, can definitely be called a craft.

“Young man, see what kind of characters this master has carved?”

Next to some people who love seal carving, at this time can not help but speak out to remind Zhuang Rui, look at this master’s carving process, compared to seal carving is not bad.

“Yes, yes ……”

Zhuang Rui agreed, took the seal mud handed over by Zhao Hanxuan, after dipping in the seal mud, spread out a piece of rice paper, two fingers out of each hand, holding the seal, and printed smoothly against the rice paper.

This use of the seal is also a delicate matter, the ancients line seal, is a very careful thing, like painting and calligraphy class of antiques, painting and calligraphy after the seal and inscription, are essential to the finishing touch of an environment, the use of the seal, generally be calm and quiet, with both hands, in the fall of the seal, the hand must be stable, in order to make the seal typeface can be balanced printed on the paper.

Like the ancient emperor line seal, special eunuchs using the seal, they can be kneeling on the ground, first raise the seal over the head to kneel, and then can only be stamped down the seal.

Zhuang Rui has seen Uncle De use the seal many times, and now he is using it in a moderate way, watching Master Ge secretly nodding his head on the side, it seems that this shopkeeper is a connoisseur.

Although today is to apply for a job, but now this society, the boss picks the employee, the employee can also pick the boss, Ge master today was also to see, if this boss is a person who does not know anything and likes to point fingers, then I’m sorry, Ge master will not serve.

However, from the current situation, although the boss is young, but speak and do things are very on the road, is a person of old traditions, there is no way, the old craftsmen recognize these old traditions.

Zhuang Rui did not know that it was a gesture of his own line seal that made Master Ge feel good about him.

“Xuan Ruizai tasting!”

When Zhuang Rui raised his hands, five seal characters appeared on the rice paper.

However, those who hadn’t learned calligraphy usually didn’t recognize these characters, and there were a few customers beside them, inquiring about the meaning of these five characters from Zhao Hanxuan.

“Boss, I’ll buy this seal, how much is it for sale?”

“This thing is good, 2000 dollars, boss, sell it or not?”

What’s more, simply ask for the price, this thing in the eyes of the crowd, has not just a seal, but an exquisite chicken blood stone crafts.

Zhao Hanxuan is an old businessman, he was afraid that Zhuang Rui wouldn’t be able to deal with this kind of situation, he quickly shouted loudly, “Gentlemen, I’m sorry, this seal is engraved with the name of the small store, you all buy it back and have none, if you want it, you can make an appointment here, leave the name to be seal engraved and the phone number, and wait for the Ge master to make it, he will call you all. ”

After hearing Zhao Hanxuan’s words, the crowd then quieted down, but all have surrounded Zhao Hanxuan, ready to order a seal, Zhao Hanxuan on this line is still considered to understand, and then listed the material of the seal to, the price is also marked out, to provide to the selection of each person.

Zhuang Rui this will focus on these words on the rice paper, for the clamor beside them as if they had not heard.

These five seal characters are in small seal script, can also be called the “Qin seal script” on the paper, the font is uniform and neat, the strokes are as thin as a line but strong as iron, without going through the fine drawing directly can seal carving this level of font, Zhuang Rui feels that is the ancient master, I am afraid that can not be done.

“Good, good!”

After Zhuang Rui looked at the paper for a while, he raised his head, cocked his thumb at Master Ge, and said, “Master Ge, it’s an honor for you to come to the small store to condescend, it’s an honor for the small store!”

“Hehe, Boss Zhuang is polite, there aren’t many young people your age who still talk about old traditions.”

Master Ge also had a good feeling about Zhuang Rui and smiled back.

“Master Ge, you can’t call me boss, you can just call me Xiao Zhuang from now on, don’t ever put boss on your lips again.”

Zhuang Rui for capable people, has always been very respectful, and to Ge master of this craft, it is estimated that it is not obscure people, for Ge master can come to their own this small store, Zhuang Rui heart is still some doubt, but others just came, this thing is not good to want to ask rashly.

“Old Zhao, mark, Ge master hand carved seal, in addition to the seal stone, in addition to the additional charge for carving, a word of 500 dollars, order a standard ……”

Zhuang Rui saw Zhao Hanxuan was surrounded by people to register, hastened to add a, not that he is obsessed with money, but the master Ge this craft, indeed worth the price, if not afraid of scaring away the guests, Zhuang Rui would like to open a word 1000 price to the.

“Boss, you this is also too black point it? A seal only buy a few hundred dollars, this engraving will be thousands of dollars?”

“Yes! If that’s the case, then we won’t buy it.”

“Boss, you’ve fallen into the eye of money, haven’t you?”

After hearing Zhuang Rui’s words, the group of people who were prepared to buy the seal, have squawked, of course, all the spearheads, all pointed at Zhuang Rui.
