- Liu Junhao grumbled secretly. This old man is really interesting. I can't tell that these words are just polite. The old man seemed like an ordinary person, but after Professor Zhao introduced him, he realized how famous he was. He had a lot of titles on his head: Director of the Municipal Art Association, Vice President of the Sculpture Art Association
He was a little curious that Zhao Guangming would know such a person. It seemed that he didn't have any artistic talent. After hearing Zhou Jie'er's name, he finally understood that this man was Zhou Jie'er's grandfather. Last time Zhou?er took some peach stones from here and said he was going to make stone carvings, but they were actually found for him. After seeing the peach stone, the old man thought it was very strange, so he thought of coming over to check it out.
Seeing that they were eager to study the peach trees, Liu Junhao didn't delay any longer and opened the door directly to welcome them into the yard.
"Is this the peach tree?" The old man had sharp eyes and only glanced twice in the courtyard before heading straight to the pool.
"My Wukong picks these peaches every day, and now there are not many left on the tree." Liu Junhao followed and explained. Previously, he thought the peaches were useless, so he let the monkeys pick and eat them, but now there are not many left on the tree.
"This is really a strange peach tree. Didn't you throw away the peach stones before?" After studying the tree, the old man then asked the most important question.
"No, it's the pile next to the monkey's nest." Liu Junhao explained sheepishly. The peach core had been thrown on the ground, and he had never thought of cleaning it up. It was dirty and full of ash.
Mr. Zhong didn¡¯t think it was dirty, so he picked one up and squatted down to check it out. Finally, he nodded excitedly: "Not bad, not bad, the quality is very stable, it is an excellent material for core carving."
??Simply speaking, core carving is carving on the fruit core, which is a micro-carving process. The main materials are peach pits, apricot pits, olive pits and other fruit pits and walnuts, and the carving tools are files, chisels, and drills.
Regarding nuclear carving, it was actually very popular in rural areas in the early years. According to legend, peach trees ward off evil spirits, so peach pits are generally chosen as the material for stone carvings, and the objects carved are common flower baskets. That thing is very simple to make. Just use a knife to dig two holes in the peach core, thread it with red thread and hang it on your body.
It is said that Liu Junhao was quite artistic when he was a child, so he specially made a carving knife with a hacksaw blade. The flower baskets he carved were highly praised by his classmates. Many people came to him to carve flower baskets after class, and some even offered fruit candies in exchange for them. During that time, he ate a lot of sweets, but the good times did not last long. One time, he was discovered by the teacher while he was carving hard in class. As a result, the saw blade was confiscated, and his artistic career came to an end temporarily.
There was no one to guide him at that time, and he never thought that other things could be carved on the small peach core, so all he carved were flower baskets.
Early on, when the peaches in the courtyard were just ripe, several naughty children in the village saw how big the peach pits were and came over to beg for them so they could play with carved baskets. But they gave up after carving it several times with a knife. The reason is very simple. The peach core is too hard, and the pencil sharpener cannot carve it at all. If you use a little more force, the blade will break.
Liu Junhao thought about this problem and interjected: "Old man, don't just think that the peach core is big but it is very hard. It is not easy to carve with a file. If you want to use this to carve the core, I am afraid you will have to spend a lot of effort."
"What I want is the hard texture, the ordinary ones are rare." The old man turned his head and rolled his eyes at him, which obviously meant that if he didn't understand, just stay aside and don't be careless.
"When I hear what you say, you look like an amateur." Zhao Guangming followed and added, "General fruit pits are crispy in texture, have rough wrinkles, and have thin shells and large kernels. If you are not careful, they will be carved into pieces. Among them, peach pits are even worse, and because of this Most people who engage in fruit carving choose olive pits or walnuts with a relatively fine texture. The peach pits on your tree are round in shape and hard and delicate in texture, making them excellent materials for pit carving."
He is learning now and selling it now. He just listened to Zhou?er's talk before coming here.
"You're talking nonsense, just listen to what Zhao Guangming said." Have those shortcomings turned into advantages?
¡°I want all these peach stones, how about one dollar each?¡± The old man looked at them for a while, then stood up and asked.
Are peach cores valuable these days? If this news reaches the village, those who laughed at his peach tree before will probably be stunned. The large white peaches sold on the street now only cost 80 cents per pound, and the peach stones at home are more expensive than the peaches.
It¡¯s true that when the east is not bright, the west is bright. Liu Junhao couldn¡¯t help but sigh in his heart. He originally thought that the peach tree was useless and planned to cut it down after a while. Now that peach cores can be sold for money, they naturally want to stay. Fortunately, Wukong didn't throw away the pile of peach stones he ate, otherwise it would be a loss. Those hundreds of peach stones were worth one or two hundred yuan anyway, but he refused the money. Money is a small issue, but the peach core is a waste product in your own hands, completely in vain. It's better to give it to someone else, so that you can turn waste into treasure. Of course, he also wanted something. He hoped that the old man could give him one or two nuclear sculptures. It would be fun to admire them in the courtyard when he had nothing to do.
When Mr. Zhong heard that he asked for a nuclear sculpture instead of asking for money, he felt that it was right for him, so he nodded and agreed. Finally, he asked what kind of look he wanted, a fairy figure or an evil beast? If you want to rub your hands with peach pits, there is a pair in the car now.
"No, I remember people always say that they rub their hands with walnuts. Why did you get a peach stone?" Liu Junhao asked strangely. In the past, when watching braid plays, those princes and nobles usually held two pecans in their hands, rubbing them in their palms and making a "squeaking" sound, which looked quite enviable. For this reason, he went up the mountain to get two of them, but he always felt that they didn't have the same momentum as others. Later I found out that it was another variety, completely different from the ordinary pecan.
"Haha, the ordinary peach core is naturally not good, the shape is too narrow and flat. But your walnut is different, the walnut is round. And the shell is relatively thick, you can make Wenwan peach core, just use a file to grind off the head and tail." The old man Followed by an explanation.
"Then you can get me a pair of hand-rubbing peach stones." Liu Junhao immediately became interested when he heard this. When he walked to the village, he took Xiaopi and played with the peach stones in his hands. He was definitely tasteful. When I see this guy Pang Xu in the future, I will be very angry with him because he dares to say that he is a rich man. To paraphrase the saying on the Internet: What I am playing is not peach core, but art.
"Here, these are the peach stones I picked up from you a few days ago. I picked out a pair of similar sizes and carved them. You can see how they look. If you are not satisfied, I will carve another one." The old man quickly got out of the car. He took out a pair of peach kernels and rubbed them with his fingers, making a crackling sound, which was very charming. When it stopped, everyone could clearly see the pattern on it. Five bats are vividly carved on one, and the meaning is obvious five blessings come to your door. On the other one are two carps playing in the water, which naturally means that there will be more than enough every year.
It¡¯s very traditional, very charming, and the skin is slightly jade-like.
Okay, that¡¯s it. Liu Junhao fell in love with it after just one glance. He grabbed it and rubbed it in his hands. Don't say it. I didn't feel anything when I took the peach core in the past, but now after Mr. Zhong transformed it, I immediately tasted its extraordinary quality. Just rub it a few times, the sound will be clear and crisp, the fingertips and palms will be numb, and it will feel extremely warm.
Zhao Guangming looked at it with eager eyes, secretly thinking that this kid is really lucky. When he accompanied the old man here earlier, he had taken a fancy to the pair of peach stones and wanted to ask for them, but he was afraid that they wouldn't give them to them. As a result, he was stunned and gave this thing away.
Professor Zhao was also quite moved and asked Mr. Zhong if he was free. If you have time, help make a pair for yourself. So when you have nothing to do, it is definitely fun to rub peach stones while walking the turtle dove. Besides, I heard that playing with it regularly can activate blood circulation and unblock meridians, which plays a health-care role.
Liu Junhao doesn¡¯t know what this old man is thinking. If he knew, he could only sigh that the two of them have a good relationship and want to do everything together.
After occupying the courtyard for about ten minutes, he remembered that he was only paying attention to the peach core and forgot to invite the guests into the house. He quickly said sorry and let a few people into the house. I froze a watermelon in the well water this morning, and now is the time to eat it.
The watermelon was cut open, which again attracted Mr. Zhong¡¯s admiration.
"Well, Mr. Zhong, what do you think of this bonsai?" Liu Junhao turned his head and pointed at the tree. This rockery took my wife more than a week to work on. Many tourists praised it after seeing it. Huo Jun also offered to buy it when he came. Although Zhang Qian didn't sell it, she was quite excited. If someone bought it, it showed that her work was great. Be recognized by others. But those were just amateurs' opinions, and he wanted to hear the opinions of professionals.
The old man didn't just talk casually. He stood by the counter for nearly two minutes, then nodded slightly and said: "Well, not bad, not bad This is the first time I have seen using silkworm cocoons to make fruit. It is quite creative. The material is Wonderful choice.¡±
It is already a great thing to get a compliment from an artist.
"Hey, this word?" Mr. Zhong was about to return to his seat when he suddenly stared at the two calligraphy paintings on the wall.
That word was written by Liu Junhao when he was renovating his house. At that time, Xiao Tongtong found a typo.
"What's wrong?" he asked slightly nervously. Now I remember that this old man also has the title of director of the Calligraphy Association. Although his handwriting is good, it is only good. In front of others, he is definitely trying to do what he does best.
¡°It¡¯s rare that I have touched the essence of three-point calligraphy.¡±
"Thank you for the compliment, old man. I will definitely work harder in the future." Liu Junhao has always been exploring his own calligraphy. Being able to get three points of the essence is already a great encouragement.
"Did you write it?" Now it was the old man's turn to be surprised. He really didn't realize that Liu Junhao could write calligraphy.
"Yeah. I usually write randomly when I have nothing to do. It has always been a hobby."
"Interest is the bestTeacher, if you don¡¯t have hobbies, you won¡¯t be able to write at this level. Two days ago, I asked this guy to copy a poem for me, but the words were impossible to read. Mr. Zhong pointed to Zhao Guangming next to him. The guy was so embarrassed that he almost hid his head under the table.
