Chapter 239 Expert Engraving, Lu Li's New Work

"It's still the comfort of your own home!"

Back in Rain City, the moment he stepped into the house, Lu Li saw this house that had been processed by his own art, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

From Lu Li's current point of view, the exquisite furniture carvings and wall paintings in the past still look a little immature now.

This is a good thing! It shows that I am making continuous progress.

With a thought, open the character interface, and the skill level displayed above has a new change.

Calligraphy: Experts.

Painting: Experts.

Sculpture: Experts.

Sculpting: Mastery.

After completing the "Pandaren" sculpture, Lu Li's sculpture skills officially broke through and was promoted to the expert level.

So far, Lu Li's four basic skills, only carving has not been able to break through.

One way, one hundred ways. After being promoted to expert level in calligraphy, painting and sculpture, Lu Li also clearly felt that his carving skills were about to break through.

After returning home, Lu's father and Lu's mother resumed their daily life and continued to go to the vegetable market to sell vegetables every day.

Lu Li's life was also dull.

Every day is still a step-by-step skill practice, practice calligraphy, practice painting, practice carving, practice sculpture.

Because of the money on hand, Lu Li has 9.5 million in cash in addition to the 4 million he gave to his parents. Therefore, Lu Li's carving materials have also become high level.

Huanghuali, red rosewood, golden silk nan, red sandalwood, ebony, and other precious woods have become Lu Li's new creative materials.

Of course, Lu Li at first didn't do anything big either, it's just some small writing ornaments and the like, which are the most suitable for practicing.

Pen holders, tea trays, rosary beads, ink cartridges... all kinds of wood carving ornaments gradually appeared on Lu Li's desk.

In the continuous practice, Lu Li's carving skills are getting better and better, and the experience bar is about to be full.

After Chinese New Year, Lu Li began to create his first large-scale root sculpture.

From the first day of the new year to the seventh day of the first lunar month, Lu Li finally completed his work.

This is a large root carving tea table.

A set of gold silk Nangen carved tea table, the shape is quaint, grand and magnificent. Following the root texture and various knots, various sculptures such as the Mountain and Rivers Building, flowers, birds, insects, and fish were constructed.

When the last knife was carved, Lu Li's carving skills officially broke through, and the four basic skills were all promoted to the expert level.

At this moment, Lu Li is an artist who is not just in name only, but also in reality, whether it is calligraphy, painting, sculpture or sculpture.

And he is an artist with a solid foundation and no shortcomings.

The root carving tea table is polished and polished, brushed with a layer of varnish, and the work is officially completed after drying.

Engraving skills were promoted to expert level, and Lu Li began to buy more expensive materials.

After purchasing some jade carving materials such as agate, beeswax, turquoise, dushan stone, Xiuyu, white jade, Lu Li began to create jade carvings.

It is important to mention here that Lu Li did not dare to do jade carving until his carving skills were promoted to the expert level. Because... these materials are so expensive!

Even if these materials were purchased through Manager Wu's "internal price", they were still small pieces of jade stone, which cost Lu Li hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The price is calculated in grams. Many jade stone materials are more expensive than gold, which is really not affordable for ordinary people.

Jade carving, if it is beautifully carved, will naturally double the value of jade stone. If the carving is not good...it's useless!

Even though Lu Li has nearly 10 million cash in hand, he dare not use jade stone to practice his skills. This is even more ruthless than burning money.

The carving of jade stone basically depends on grinding, so jade carving is also called "carving".

Modern high-tech jade carving tools, speaking from a certain perspective, are somewhat similar to dentists' tools.

The rapidly rotating engraved needle made a sour screeching sound when it landed on the jade stone.

Flying jade chips... every gram is money!

Therefore, there is absolutely no drastic removal of materials for jade carving. The carving creation of each piece of jade stone material needs to use the material to the maximum extent according to the shape and structure of the material, because...it can't be wasted!

Agate is not very expensive, so Lu Li practiced with agate first.

Carefully measured the size of the agate and determined the plan to maximize the use of the material. Lu Li dug out a dozen small beads on this piece of agate material.

Carve these small beads into round beads, then carve various Arhat shapes on the beads to make a bracelet.

After grinding and polishing, drilling and threading, a string of dark red agate beads is officially completed.

I picked up this bracelet and looked at it in front of my eyes. The translucent agate shone in the light, and the smiling faces of Arhat on the beads were lifelike.

"It's okay!"

Lu Li nods with a smile, "My bracelet is worth at least tens of thousands. This is the father's!"

Putting down the bracelet, Lu Li continued to create.

Mother also made an agate bracelet and a beeswax necklace.

This chanterelle yellow beeswax necklace cost Lu Li 15,000 yuan to buy the materials, plus Lu Li's exquisite carving, it is even more valuable.

For the next period of time, Lu Li has been making jade carvings. Until after the Lantern Festival, Lu Li's jade sculpture creation had to end because... the materials were used up.

"Dad, Mom, I'll give you a present."

That night, after dinner, Lu Li took out a jewelry box carved from ebony and turned towards Lu Li. Mom and Dad said.

"Gift?"

The father mother looked at the black wooden box in Lu Li's hand, and knew very clearly in her heart that this was another artwork made by her son.

"Wa'er, my dad and I are both uneducated, your arts... we don't understand either. It's a waste if you give it to us."

The mother looked at The box in Lu Li's hand, smiled and looked the head.

"You don't want?"

Lu Li's face showed a smile, "don't regret it later!"

After finishing speaking, Lu Li stretched out his hand Open the lid of the jewelry box.

Under the light, the pearls in the jewelry box flicker, and the treasures are bright and bright, and it is suddenly a box of various jewelry.

"Wow..."

The mother looked at the various jewels in the box, her eyes shining.

"This bracelet belongs to the father! This one belongs to the mother!"

Lu Li took out two agate bracelets from the jewelry box and handed them to the father mother.

"I have it too!"

Dad Lu put the dark red agate bracelet on his hand, looking at the glittering pearls and the lifelike Arhat carving, said with a smile: "I actually have a day to wear jewelry!"

"It looks good! It looks good!"

Mother Lu wore an agate bracelet and turned her arms towards the light, looking at The sparkling pearls on the bracelets made her smile from ear to ear.

"There's more!"

Lu Li took out a bright yellow beeswax necklace and a turquoise bracelet from the jewelry box, and said to mother: "Mom, this is A necklace and bracelet are also for you."

"Good! Good!"

The mother was very happy, and hurriedly put the beeswax necklace around her neck, and put the turquoise The bracelet is worn on the other hand.

"Haha! I'm now... just like the rich lady on TV!"

mother stretched out her arms and kept turning her arms, and occasionally picked up the necklace and looked at it. Look, the smile blooms on the face.

"Wa'er, these things...are they expensive?"

Father looked at these jade carvings and said to Lu Li, "Don't waste money in the future. We don't need them. These."

"It's not expensive or expensive!"

Lu Li smiled and looked at the head, "I made them all by myself, just spent a little money on materials. ”

For Lu Li, the jewelry is really cheap.

The material money for each piece of jewelry is only ten thousand dollars. It's just... the finished product can't be bought with this amount of money!

Lu Li's expert carving skills, the jade carvings made, five times the material cost is the lowest price.

If you buy it in a jewelry store, the jeweler's black heart is far beyond people's imagination. Ten times and a hundred times the profit is a normal operation.

"Isn't it expensive?"

Dad Lu nodded lightly. A piece of my son's sculpture is worth 40 million yuan. These jewelry are said to be inexpensive, but in fact... others can't buy them if they want.

second day Early in the morning, Lu Dad and Lu Mom went to the vegetable market to sell vegetables again.

Because Lu's father and Lu's mother are very simple, wearing these pearly jewelry, no one cares much.

After all, people who can see the material of the jewelry at a glance and the skill of the carver at a glance are still rare in daily life.

However...mother Liu is exactly that kind of person.

Since it was discovered that Lu Li might be talking to Liu Qin about friends, when Liu mother went to the street to buy vegetables, she began to approach her "in-law's house" intentionally or unintentionally.

Today is because Liu Qin wanted to eat boiled fish fillets, and Liu mother came to the vegetable market to buy fish again.

"Big sister, are you here to buy groceries?"

Seeing Liu mother walking by carrying a fish, Lu Ma greeted her from afar. This is the son's future mother-in-law! Definitely have a good relationship.

"Yes!"

Mother Liu came up with a smile, "Qiner said she wanted to eat boiled fish fillets, I'll buy a fish."

"Do you want any more vegetables? The lettuce I have here is good and fresh. Take some back!"

Lu Ma enthusiastically packed a bag of lettuce, got up and handed it to Liu mother.

Well, my mother-in-law is so enthusiastic!

Mother Liu reluctantly took the lettuce from Mother Lu.

At this time, Mother Liu saw the jewelry on Mother Lu. On the hands are two bracelets with sparkling pearls, and there is a bright yellow necklace around the neck.

From mother Liu's eyes, it is obvious that this is a good thing!

"Huh? Your jewelry is good!"

Mother Liu also knew that Lu Li's sculptures made money, but she didn't care about Ma Lu wearing these high-grade jewelry. I feel something unexpected.

"Cheap!"

Mother Lu smiled and looked at the head, "My son made it! Artwork made by my son. I don't understand what art is not art, I'm playing with it."

"Huh? Lu Li also makes jewelry?"

A flash of surprise flashed in mother Liu's eyes, and then... a little depressed again.

Why don't I? I am your mother-in-law, and I am your mother. Since you can make jewelry and make it so high-end and exquisite, why don't I?

After a few words of greetings with Lu's father and Lu's mother, Liu mother said goodbye and left.

All the way back home, mother Liu saw Liu Qin sitting in the room and burying herself in writing her thesis, and she felt depressed again.

"Qin'er, you stay at home every day, do you want to be a house girl? Why don't you go out to play?"

When carrying the fish into the kitchen, mother Liu looked at him. Liu Qin roared.

"Huh?"

Liu Qin turned his head and looked over, his eyes were a little stunned. what's going on? Where did I provoke you?

"Old Liu, come here!"

Putting the fish into the kitchen, mother Liu yelled at Father Liu in the study again, "Why are you still standing there? I bought the fish back. Come over and cook!"

"Eh? Aren't you cooking these days? Why must you call me to cook today?"

Father Liu was also a little confused The situation is unclear.

It's just...Under the power of mother Liu, father Liu had no choice but to answer: "Okay, okay, here we come."

Father Liu got up Went into the kitchen.

At this time, the doorbell rang outside the door, "Express delivery! Receive the delivery!"

"Express delivery? Liu Qin, did you buy something stupid again?"

Liu mother looked unhappy, walked to the door, stretched out his hand and opened the door.

Outside the door, a Big Fatty carried a cardboard box and handed it to mother Liu, "Your courier."

Mother Liu took the cardboard box and glanced at it, No courier was found.

"Where did you send it? Why don't you even have a courier?"

Liu mother frowned, glanced at the Big Fatty, "What's going on?"

"Okay! My name is Yuwenshu! I'm Lu Li and Liu Qin's high school classmates."

Big Fatty shrugged, "Actually...I'm an errand! Lu Li brought it here. Yes! He didn't dare to come to the door, so let me run errands!"

"Huh?"

A smile instantly appeared on Liu mother's face, "So it's Qin'er's classmate! Come in! Come in and sit!"

"Aunt, I'm not going to sit!"

Yuwen fatty waved his hand quickly, "I'm an errand runner, after delivering things, I I have to go back and reinstate Lu Li! Oh! It's really not easy for me!"

With a long sigh, Yuwen fatty waved his hand, turned around and left.

"This child..."

Mother Liu looked down at the cardboard box in his hand, then at Yuwen fatty who walked out all the way, and smiled and looked at the head.

This kid Lu Li... He sends things and asks others to run errands. Afraid to come in? What's wrong with that? With me here, can Lao Liu be able to turn the world upside down?

Turning around and returning to the living room, mother Liu sat on the sofa and reached out to open the cardboard box.

Inside the carton is a beautifully carved red wooden box.

Opening the box, Liu mother "wow" cry out in surprise, the smile on his face is even brighter!

The box is full of jewels, brilliant lights and vibrant colors.

Beeswax necklace, agate bracelet, turquoise bracelet, white jade bead chain, Xiu jade hand bracelet, and a Dushan stone seal.

"Hahahaha! I have it too! Sure enough, I have it too!"

Looking at the box of jewelry, mother Liu was overjoyed, turned her head and shouted, "Qin'er, Old Liu, come here quickly! Come here quickly."

"What's the matter?"

Father Liu replied angrily, turned around and walked out.

"Mom, what's the matter with you?"

Liu Qin walked out of the room with an impatient look on his face.

"Come and see! Lu Li! Lu Li brought it here! Haha! Lu Li is a good boy! He can also make jewelry!"

Liu mother holding it Jewelry box, shook it at Liu Qin and Liu father, "These are all!"

Seeing these jewelry, Dad Liu's face darkened.

Liu Qin's face turned red, with a happy smile in his eyes.
