Nine-tiered fairy lotus

Chapter 143

In the land of Northeast China, several ethnic minorities have risen one after another and have taken over the Central Plains.

The Xianbei started from the Daxing’an Mountains, and finally marched into Luoyang, establishing the Northern Wei Dynasty; Jin originated in the Songliao Plain, and later crossed the Yellow River, and established Kaifeng as its capital; Mongolia rose from the HLBE prairie and established the Mongolian Empire across Eurasia; Manchu Qing From the rise of Baishan and Heishui, it entered Shanhaiguan and unified the whole of China.

But in modern times, the strength of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties was weak. With the signing of the "Aigun Treaty" and "BJ Treaty", more than 100 million square kilometers of land was seized by Tsarist Russia... Therefore, this road not only has beautiful scenery, but also hides behind it A period of historical memory that should not be forgotten.

In the evening, we arrived at Swan Lake Tourist Resort.It is located at the northernmost tip of HEB Province, two kilometers north of Jianguyuan County, on the bank of Huannao Lake, which is the hinterland of the NMG prairie.The natural freshwater lake, surrounded by green hills and rippling blue waves, has a good ecological environment, attracting tens of thousands of swans, gray cranes, wild ducks and various water birds to inhabit here.

A group of people settled in a resort on the south bank of the lake.This place is lush with trees, surrounded by low hillocks and vast green grasslands that have been reclaimed as farmland. Looking from a height, it is like a picture of two dragons playing with pearls, flying colorful dances, meaning dragons flying and pearls rolling.

Before the sun went down, Wang Pinqiu took Hu Tu together and went to the lake to see the blue sky and white clouds, green mountains and clear water, green grass and herds of animals, birds and animals.What a beautiful scene, but the dusk is too close, the time is too short, and Wang Pinqiu has to take pictures again, and it will be night soon!

Xu Min also followed, but followed from a distance.She was quite contradictory. She had promised Wang Pinyan to be optimistic about Hu Tu before, but now from all the signs, it was Wang Pinqiu who had been taking the initiative. She couldn't run to stop Wang Pinqiu, because even Wang Pinyan couldn't do that.

Xu Min hesitated and hesitated, and finally made up her mind secretly, she would rather demolish ten temples than break up a marriage - in the future, she will not ask any Wang Pinqiu's initiative, as long as it is not excessive.But she will keep an eye on it, and Hu Tu shouldn't take the opportunity to eat tofu.

There is a small market in the resort, which sells snacks and various accessories.Wang Pinqiu, who can't walk when he sees delicious food, holds pancake fruit in his left hand, chopsticks in his right hand, and the Liangpi in Hu Tu's hand, enjoying himself.When I saw a shop selling trinkets, I went to watch them and didn't buy them. When I saw something I liked, I just took a photo with my camera.

Wu Xuefeng also came to the small market, behind him were only two bodyguards, the beautiful assistant Yang Mengjing was not there.At this moment, the three of them were standing in front of a stall selling root carvings, bargaining with the boss.

Hu Tu was very interested in root carvings, and he knew that the root carvings in that booth were not bad just by looking at them from a distance, so he walked over to watch with Wang Pinqiu.I wanted to do it secretly, but the two bodyguards noticed it and reminded Wu Xuefeng, Wu Xuefeng turned his head and said with a smile: "Pin Qiu, you are here, look at these root carvings, I can buy them for you if you like them."

Wang Pinqiu poked Hu Tu's arm with his elbow, and said with a smile, "I think these root carvings are pretty good, why don't you pick one and take it home?"

Hu Tu took a closer look at those root carvings, the production techniques and level are superb.They are exquisite in shape, and each work has a certain charm, which can give people a special spirit and ideal at first glance.

However, if you look closely, you will find that each has its own flaws and cannot be perfect.Just like his own nuclear carving works, even if they can be sold, there is always something wrong with them.

Hu Tu looked at them one by one, pondered the carving techniques of those root carvings, and wondered whether he could complete them with his own special skills. Finally, he had to admit that the most difficult thing was to create the charm—for real root carving works, each of them is unique. are different, and each requires a unique design, and these cannot be tricked.

Hu Tu glanced at the boss who had been silent all this time, and said: "Personally, among the works here, this carp leaping over the dragon's gate feels the best. But boss, your best work hasn't been sold yet, right?"

The boss suddenly showed surprise and asked, "Little brother, how did you know?"

"You made these?" Seeing that the boss didn't deny it, Hu Tu said, "Looking at these works, it can be seen that your skills have been perfected, and you have a good grasp of shape and spirit. Naturally, the works you produced cannot be complete. It's this flawed."

"The young man has a good eye, and he is also a person in the industry?" The boss nodded, "Good works naturally have a good place, but these are just for making a living."

Hu Tu scratched his head and said, "I can only be considered as a half person in the industry, and I don't have too much experience. But what do you mean by asking for a living? Could it be that you can't live a rich life relying on the best works? ?”

"My life is not bad." The boss handed Hu Tu a business card and continued, "However, it's not normal to use money to measure art?"

The owner's surname is Meng and his name is Guanghua. He is a very free and easy person, but he is obsessed with the artworks he makes.Every time he makes a perfect thing, he has to collect it himself, and then sell the defective ones.

With the improvement of his skills and the broadening of his vision, the works that he thought were perfect before looked flawed, so he put the price on those that he saw flaws.

All the goods on this stall are his products, and his real works, those things that he cherishes as works of art, will not be sold.

Wu Xuefeng finally heard the way, and the things he had been looking at for a long time now were all defective goods, how could he, who always claimed to be the second generation rich, bear it, he said: "Boss, do you dislike I don’t have any money, why don’t I sell it if I have something good, just take it, I can afford it for whatever you want.”

Meng Guanghua has always looked down on those who think they have some money and regard themselves as the boss. In his eyes, Wu Xuefeng is obviously that kind of person who doesn't understand art at all and only knows how to throw money everywhere.He said: "These are the goods, and there are no more. Let's do business. I will not sell by force, and you should not buy by force. If you like it, you will pay for it. If you don't like it, you can leave without giving it away."

If a rich second generation can't even buy a root carving, it will be too cheap.He called the two bodyguards to come forward, took out a gold card from his pocket, and said, "Boss, I have come all the way, you can't let me bring a defective product back, it's not justified. "

Meng Guanghua glanced left and right. With his artistic level, he must know some high-ranking officials and dignitaries.What's more, arguing with a young man is not the style of an artist, so he sighed, took out a "Tree Zen" carved from the root of a thuja tree from the box behind him, and said very bluntly: "This is my best One of them, [-], if you don’t make a counter-offer, you can take it if you want.”
