I Just Want to Be a Salted Fish in Peace

　　Indeed, the $[-] that year was indeed hyped by the jeweler.

　　If he really doesn't know how high the sky is, and sets a rule of [-] yuan for himself, let alone other people in the industry, Mr. Shen will be the first to jump out and give him a slap.

　　Lin Xian asked, "Master Gao, when will I get the finished product?"

　　Gao Wenkang pondered: "Well, probably in August next year!"

　　next August?

　　Lin Xian was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyebrows and said, "So long?"

　　Hearing this, Gao Wenkang laughed and said, "For a long time? It's already very soon!"

　　Taking a sip of the hot tea, he continued to explain: "Generally speaking, it takes about one to two months for a piece of jadeite to go from wool to finished product. Of this, 90% of the time is spent in the design. If It's just carving, and it can be done in less than a month."

　　Design is extremely time-consuming.

　　Not only must it be beautiful, it must be artistic, and it must be adjusted based on jade wool.

　　To give a simple example, there will be some cracks on some wool materials.

　　These cracks will actually greatly affect the beauty and value of jadeite.

　　But if designed properly, turning the crack into a part of the design can often have the magical effect of turning waste into treasure.

　　This also increases the difficulty of design.

　　Each piece of jade is different, and the subtle differences in color and seed water will be infinitely magnified after the finished product.

　　Therefore, the design will take so long.

　　After listening to Gao Wenkang's explanation, Lin Xian tentatively said, "If I can design it in advance, can I get the finished product within a month?"

　　"That's totally fine, maybe even a month!" Gao Wenkang assured.

　　Lin Xian smiled slightly and drank the hot tea in the toast, "Okay, then it's settled, I design it myself!"

　　Gao Wenkang didn't say anything about Lin Xian's request.

　　Rich man!

　　Be capricious, that's normal. .

Chapter 503

　　Rejecting Lin Xi's request to stay at his house for a few days, Lin Xian plunged into the design after returning to the hotel.

　　His idea is to try to get it done as soon as possible and go home as soon as possible.

　　The weather in Kyoto made him a bit uncomfortable as a person from a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

　　Dry and cold.

　　Four and nine cities in this season are much colder than Jinling.

　　After returning to the room, Lin Xian took out all the jadeite materials from the safe in the room.

　　Then he spread out the pen and paper, opened a bottle of Ace of Spades champagne, poured himself a glass, and took a sip.

　　The first design was the piece of purple jade material known as 'Zixia Fairy'.

　　This piece of material is not only the most expensive, but also gives Lin Xian the most amazing feeling.

　　At this time, the stone skin and fog layer of this clear material have been polished off, and the size of the entire jadeite has also been reduced to the size of a fist.

　　Lin Xian picked up this piece of purple jade, slowly rotated it, and observed it from all angles.

　　First of all, the color division of this purple jade is not uniform.

　　The color is the most intense and full, and the area that reaches the glass species only occupies one-third.

　　In the remaining two-thirds of the area, the planting water is much worse, and even in some places, there is almost no purple color, and 14 is an almost white waxy ice seed.

　　This is also the reason why this piece of Zi Fei was purchased by Lin Xian after going through four public auctions.

　　Stunning is amazing, but the extremely high design difficulty has persuaded batches of jewellers and jade carvers.

　　What is certain is that Lin Xian will not cut this piece of purple jade, but design it as a whole ornament.

　　Otherwise, why would he buy this?

　　If you really want to cut it, wouldn't it be better to just buy a piece of glass type Zi Fei?

　　After thinking for a while, Lin Xian still had no clue.

　　As early as the first time he saw this piece of purple jade, a flash of light flashed in his mind, but the point is, until now, he has not been able to grasp this aura.

　　Drank the champagne in one breath, Lin Xian simply activated the [Transcendence] skill.

　　With the skill turned on, the meditative state struck instantly.

　　Feeling the coolness in my mind, the abrupt system prompt sounded suddenly.

　　"Ding~"

　　"Congratulations to the host for triggering a special effect when using the skill [Transcendence], and a flash of inspiration."

　　……

　　"Have it!"

　　Lin Xian's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

　　At the same time, the free right hand, holding the pencil, quickly scribbled on the white paper.

　　I have to say, the special effect of 'Flash of Light' is really awesome.

　　Shashasha~

　　The sound of pencils rubbing against paper reverberated in the quiet suite.

　　Ten minutes later, Lin Xian stopped his movements and began to appreciate the paintings on the paper.

　　This is a simple sketch, the lines used are extremely simple, but through the use of light, shadow and lines, this sketch is very charming.

　　In the painting, a long-bearded old man is riding a green ox upside down, holding a book vaguely in his hand, with a large continuous auspicious cloud above.

　　The artistic conception expressed by this painting is exactly 'Lao Tzu rides a bull to the west out of Hangu Pass, and the purple gas is [-] miles away'.

　　As for why it is designed this way, the reason is simple.

　　As mentioned earlier, the design of jade is based on the condition of jade.

　　Lin Xian's design perfectly fits the situation of this purple jade.

　　In the purple jade, the color is the most full and rich, and the part where the seed water is a glass seed is just connected into one piece, like a purple auspicious cloud.

　　As for Laozi and Qingniu below, it requires extremely superb carvings to complete.

　　Lin Xian can be [-]% sure that when the finished product comes out, it will be amazing.

　　Thinking of this, he continued to draw three-dimensional design drawings on white paper, which would make it easier for the engraver to understand the artistic conception of his design.

　　In less than half an hour, he got the Zi Fei Ming material.

　　After drinking another glass of champagne, he quickly picked up another piece of clear ingredient.

　　Under the special effects of the flash of inspiration, this feeling of inspiration is so cool!

　　The next day.

　　morning.

　　Accompanied by Lin Xi, Lin Xian came to Gao Wenkang's workshop again.

　　When he handed over eleven design drawings and the safe, Gao Wenkang was not surprised.

　　Long before he acted as Lin Xian, he had already found someone to design it in advance.

　　and many more?

　　He has already found someone to design it, why not carve it together?

　　You know, design engraving is inseparable.

　　The person who helped him design must also be an engraver.

　　Gao Wenkang took over the blueprint and the safe with doubts in his heart.

　　After opening the safe, he cooperated with the blueprint in his hand and slowly checked it.

　　At the beginning, Gao Wenkang was a little careless.

　　But looking at it, his face was not right.

　　After a while, I saw him put down the blueprint and said with a wry smile, "Since Mr. Lin has found such an outstanding engraver, why do you still come to entertain me!"

　　Before Lin Xian could speak, Lin Xi, who was beside him, said with a confused expression, "What do you mean?"

　　"To be honest, even I can't come up with these design drawings. Especially this piece of Lao Tzu's westward journey is simply a stroke of genius." Gao Wenkang's face was full of bitterness.

　　Occasionally, inspiration bursts out, and a few boutiques appear, which Gao Wenkang can do.

　　But the eleven design drawings, Zhang Zhang are all excellent, he asks himself if he has no such ability.

　　Maybe, but it will take years at least.

　　He is a master of jade carving himself, just by looking at the jade materials and design drawings, you can know how amazing these jade products are after they are finished.

　　Especially the design drawing of Lao Tzu's westward journey made him full of praise.

　　At this moment, Lin Xi said, "No, Uncle Gao, did you make a mistake? My brother and I have just returned to China after participating in the Jade Fair. How can we find another sculptor!"

　　"Ok?"

　　This time, it was Gao Wenkang's turn to be stunned.

　　Just finished participating in the Jade Public Market?
