I Just Want to Be a Salted Fish in Peace

　　Just seeing their bid price, Lin Xian couldn't help laughing.

　　 [-] euros!

　　Both of them have the same price.

　　It is estimated that they thought the same as Lin Xian at the time. No one wanted it anyway, so they added an extra 100 euros, meaning.

　　However, I never imagined that Lin Xian meant one thousand euros.

　　After the public auction was over, the two went to pay the balance.

　　Of course, the balance is not to be settled on the same day, but within three months.

　　After all, it is impossible to take out hundreds of millions of billions of dollars at once.

　　However, the sooner you pay the balance, the sooner you can get the goods.

　　Lin Xian and Lin Xi didn't want to wait so long, they just paid the money and took the goods home.

　　The materials taken by the two were very small, so one person and one safe were all installed.

　　Both convenient and easy.

　　……

　　On the plane, Lin Xian held a glass of champagne and asked, "By the way, who are you going to ask to design the sculpture when you go back?"

· · · Flowers · · · ·

　　Lin Xi smiled and said, "I've already invited you, Master Shen Jianyuan."

　　"Shen Jianyuan?"

　　Lin Xian was a little unfamiliar with this name.

　　However, since he can be called the honorary title of the master, he should not be an unknown person.

　　Seeing his expression, Lin Xi raised her eyebrows and said, "Does Qi Baishi know?"

　　"nonsense!"

　　Lin Xian scolded him.

　　Lin Xi didn't care either, and explained with a smile, "This Master Shen Jianyuan is the true disciple of Qi Baishi!"

　　Hearing this, Lin Xian suddenly showed a clear expression.

　　It turned out to be Qi Baishi's disciple, so there would be no problem.

　　Speaking of Qi Baishi, many people's first impression is his paintings.

　　But in fact, Mr. Qi Baishi's carving skills are also outstanding.

 …  

　　Sculpture and painting go hand in hand.

　　A good painter may not be able to sculpt, but a good master sculptor will definitely not be bad at painting.

　　Thinking of this, Lin Xian said with a smile: "That's right, I'm worried that I can't find a reliable carver. After returning to China, you can help me recommend it."

　　As soon as these words came out, Lin Xi suddenly lost his smile and said with a bitter face: "No, brother, you are a Chinese cabbage when you are a master? If you give me money, I will carve it for you? If you carve one or two pieces, others will see me. It might be helpful to save face. But are you trying to exhaust Master Shen to death with these more than ten items?"

　　Lin Xi was right.

　　A master like Shen Jianyuan, who has been under the tutelage of a famous family, has been in the position for many years, and he has not done it for many years.

　　And to be honest, jade carving is very exhausting. Shen Jianyuan is over old, and occasionally he will carve one or two pieces, which is no problem.

　　But if you carve more than a dozen pieces at once, no kidding, you may really be exhausted!

　　"Of course I know that!"

　　Lin Xian pouted and explained, "I mean, Master Shen doesn't have an apprentice or something?"

　　Please do not move Master Shen, you can invite his apprentice!

　　As for Lin Xian, why didn't he do it himself?

　　This is really thinking too much!

　　Skill upgrade cards, he did hoard a few cards, but the key is that it is difficult to get started!

　　Unlike other hobbies, jade carving is purely water-grinding, and it is very difficult to get started.

　　Without a few years of hard work, let alone getting started.Xi.

Chapter 502

　　Kyoto.

　　Four Nine Cities.

　　Master Shen Jianyuan is older than Lin Xian imagined, perhaps because he has carved too much jade and spent too much energy in his life, making him look like a 70-year-old old man at the age of 90.

　　The gray and sparse hair hangs down on the top of the head, and the thin body seems to be struggling to even walk.

　　But his eyes were bright and piercing.

　　Shen Jianyuan took a sip of the hot tea and smiled kindly: "Is your grandma in good health?"

　　"She's tough!" Lin Xi answered truthfully.

　　Grandma Lin Xi's natal family was also a famous scholar in Sijiu City back then.

　　The two are old acquaintances, otherwise Lin Xi would not move Shen Jianyuan.

　　Lin Xian sipped tea and admired the decoration layout of Shen Jianyuan's house with great interest.

　　"Master, are you healthy?"

　　Lin Xi was a little worried about Shen Jianyuan's body at the moment, and couldn't help but care.

　　The last time he saw Shen Jianyuan was several years ago. He didn't expect that only a few years later, the other party was so old.

　　"It's okay, I felt a cold a while ago, but now it's much better." Shen Jianyuan waved his hand and said lightly.

　　Lin Xi was really worried, and suggested: "Or...let it go, let your disciple do it for you!"

　　To be honest, Lin Xi is not at all relieved that Shen Jianyuan is like this.

　　If something happened to the old man because of himself, it would be a big sin.

　　Therefore, Lin Xi simply retreated and asked for the next best thing.

　　Famous teachers produce high-level apprentices, and Shen Jianyuan's disciples are placed in the entire domestic sculpture industry, and they are also the group of people standing at the top of the pyramid.

　　Hearing this, Shen Jianyuan pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright then, let Xiaogao do it for you!"

　　He didn't show his ability, and he knew best what his body was like.

　　If you put it a few years ago, you can still do it yourself.

　　But now, I can't say whether I can hold the carving knife steadily.

　　As for Xiao Gao in the old man's mouth, it was his eldest disciple, whose full name was Gao Wenkang.

　　Currently serving as the president of the domestic jade carving association, and running a high-end workshop by himself.

　　With the relationship of Mr. Shen, Lin Xian and Lin Xi soon met Gao Wenkang.

　　Gao Wenkang is nearly fifty years old, but he looks very young and has a strong physique.

　　At this time, Gao Wenkang, whether it was his experience, carving skills, or his sense of art, had reached the peak of his life.

　　Not to mention Shen Jianyuan who surpassed that year, but it definitely won't be much worse.

　　Therefore, Gao Wenkang is now very popular in the sculpture industry.

　　People in the industry send nicknames, one knife and three!

　　This title comes from a jeweler a few years ago who asked Gao Wenkang to design and engrave a piece of jadeite wool at an exorbitant price.

　　Carving a knife, [-] yuan!

　　Don't think it's too small, because it takes seventy or eighty knives to carve a piece of wool, and for more complicated designs, hundreds to thousands of knives are normal.

　　In the end, the jeweler paid Gao Wenkang 1390 million for the craftsmanship.

　　However, the other party didn't lose any money, and they sold the finished product to auction, and even made tens of millions!

　　It is precisely because of this incident that Gao Wenkang became famous.

　　……

　　When the two came to Gao Wenkang's workshop, it was already afternoon.

　　The workshop area is not large, but the decoration is very delicate and full of style.

　　After drinking a few cups of tea and complimenting each other, Lin Xi went straight to the topic.

　　After listening to Lin Xi's request, Gao Wenkang agreed without any hesitation.

　　"Okay, then thank you Uncle Gao!" Lin Xi thanked.

　　Gao Wenkang smiled and said, "Small thing!"

　　Lin Xi glanced at Lin Xian next to him, and sneered: "By the way, Uncle Gao, I have something to trouble you. My brother also took more than ten pieces of wool and prepared to carve them."

　　Hearing this, Gao Wenkang raised his brows.

　　More than ten pieces?

　　What a joke!

　　Seeing this, Lin Xian said with a smile: "Master Gao, don't worry, you won't let your efforts go to waste, and the manual cost will be calculated at [-] yuan, how about it?"

　　With Lin Xi's relationship, Gao Wenkang helped Lin Xian carve one or two pieces for free, which was no problem.

　　But more than a dozen pieces, it is really impossible to say without money.

　　After all, Lin Xian was only Lin Xi's friend, and there were several layers of relationship between him and Gao Wenkang.

　　Hearing what he said, Gao Wenkang waved his hand and said, "Don't tell me, that [-] yuan was a hype back then... Be a person with self-knowledge. My craftsmanship is far from that price."
