Chapter 372 (1/2)
A month later, SHUSHUI ancient town.
SHUSHUI ancient town, located in the south, is a quiet, elegant and humanistic town.
In a small shop in an antique Town, a new boss was welcomed at this time.
The boss is young and handsome. The most rare thing is that he has a unique temperament and is full of a sense of vicissitudes inconsistent with his age.
The shop is a newly opened wood carving shop, but the boss is very casual. The shop opened without a big bang, so it opened in obscurity.
The boss is even lazy all day. He doesn't like to entertain guests and never cares about the coldness of business.
And the price of wood carvings in his shop is outrageous, and he never wanted to cater to the market.
This is the reason why few people pay attention to this wood carving shop.
The owners of other shops around shook their heads and said that the wood carving shop would close at a loss sooner or later.
The owner of the wood carving shop still goes his own way and doesn't care about external comments.
The boss is no one else. It is Zhang Yi who traveled here.
Zhang Yi came to this SHUSHUI ancient town from Yue city and planned to live here for a while, waiting for the opportunity to reappear.
He made a pot of tea every morning, and then began to carve until late at night. He only took a break during dinner.
In his previous life, after Zhang Yi entered the cultivation world, he taught himself wood carving in memory of his hometown of the earth.
Zhang Yi, who once lived in a previous life, has carved all kinds of magical trees for hundreds of years. His works even reached the point of being familiar with the great road, and were once popular among major departments. He was proud to get Zhang Yi's works.
Now, as soon as he is free, Zhang Yi will inevitably feel itchy, so he takes this opportunity to resume his old business, which should also be a memory of his previous life.
On this day, several unusual guests came to Zhang Yi's shop.
The first old man was about sixty, with thick reading glasses and long hair and beard. He smelled like a scroll, but his hands were very strong and had a thick calluses, just like working all year round.
With him were several young men and women, college students.
Zhang Yi treats guests equally.
He was still meditating on carving, unwilling to entertain guests, but still let them watch at will.
The leading old man was still quiet, but the men and women who looked like college students kept talking:
”Unexpectedly, there is a wood carving shop here, and it is still hand carved! This is very rare in this era full of computer carving! ”
”I don't know the level of wood carving here. Can it enter the eyes of our famous art students?”
”You see, the owner of this shop is very young. I'm afraid his level will not be high.”
”Yes, this time we followed Professor Guo, who is a famous wood carving master in China and has won numerous awards at home and abroad! His wood carving level, who can surpass it? ”
”Is there anyone in the mixed wood carving industry who doesn't know Professor Guo? Why didn't the owner of the shop hurry to receive Professor Guo after he came in for so long? ”
”Hum, I'm afraid the owner of a small shop in such a small place is not qualified to meet Professor Guo, so he doesn't know him.”
”You say, shall we reveal Professor Guo's identity to him and scare him?”
”Come on, let's look at the wood carvings first. If the level is too poor, then this store is not qualified to let us stay for a long time. ”
……
Several college students from famous brand art institutes strolled around the wood carving shop while talking.
Today, they came to SHUSHUI ancient town with Professor Guo to collect wind. They happened to meet Zhang Yi's wood carving shop and came in to have a look.
The wood carvings in the shop are large and small. The small ones are only peanuts, and the large ones can even cover a wall.
When Zhang Yi carved these wood carvings at the beginning, he didn't make any planning. He did it all at will. One day he suddenly wanted to carve something, so he carved at will.
Moreover, Zhang Yi did not pay any attention to the choice of wood, the softness and hardness of wood, or the texture of wood. In Zhang Yi's eyes, there is no wood that can't be carved. Every piece of wood has the most suitable carving for it.
After watching it for a while, these college students finally couldn't help talking again:
”What are these carvings? It's too abstract! ”
”That is, abstract carving is not like this. It's just random carving!”
”Really, I can't feel any artistic flavor from these wood carvings!”
”And this carving technique has no skill at all. It's up and down and erratic. At first glance, it's just started, but it's not carved by a skilled novice!”
”At this level, I dare to open a wood carving shop. I think it's used to deceive those wronged big heads!”
……
Common wood carvings include figures, gods and Buddhas, buildings, ships, landscapes, plants, animals and so on.
Zhang Yi has also carved realistic wood carvings. In his previous life, he once carved a portrait of a sect leader in the cultivation world, which is not only in shape but also in spirit, lifelike and lifelike.
Even after the death of the sect leader, his descendants carried out the figure statue, and a group of disciples knelt down and saluted one after another, just as the leader was reborn.
But soon, Zhang Yi changed from realism to abstraction.
He wanted to carve out the emotion in his heart and the indescribable road.
These things have no form and cannot be described in words, so they are naturally carved in strange shapes and abstract and difficult to understand.
Zhang Yi never cares whether others can understand. He only carves the things in his heart.
At this time, a beautiful girl picked up a palm sized wood carving and asked Zhang Yi:
”Boss, how do you sell this wood carving?”
Zhang Yi continued his carving and replied without looking back:
”100 million.”
”What?” The girl was startled and almost didn't get rid of the wood carving in her hand.
