Reborn Great Nation Craftsman

Chapter 4 The identity of the old lady
Because all the materials used are removed from old furniture, it saves a lot of time for cutting materials. It only needs to change the size and process the tenon-and-mortise structure.

Therefore, it is faster to process. At about noon, Zhang Junping made the Happy Chair and assembled the last component. Zhang Junping said to the old lady: "Grandma Liu, try it first and see if there is something wrong. Appropriate, I'll change it again!"

"Okay! Boy, you're a good hand, and the work is quick enough!" The old lady happily looked at the Easy Chair Zhang Junping had just made and smiled with satisfaction.

The old lady is alone and lacks everything. What she enjoys is Zhang Junping's filial piety.

The old lady sat on it and tried it, and she was even more satisfied, "Not bad, really good! This leisure chair is absolutely comfortable for sitting and basking in the sun in winter. You are a filial son!"

"Grandma Liu, you can use it first. When you look back, I'll find a way to get some beeswax, and then I'll burn the wax again for you."

Zhang Junping admired his work that he had been busy with all morning, and felt a little regretful in his heart. His craftsmanship is still very good, the only thing missing is that there is no hot wax, which makes the whole work appear imperfect.

Waxing technology is a decorative method of wood surface treatment for furniture, which is equivalent to forming a layer of artificial pulp on the surface of furniture, which can not only show the beautiful texture of wood, but also form a protective film on the surface of wood. , in order to prevent the adverse effect of the external environment on the wood.

The old lady stood up and walked into the room, and walked out again after a while, holding out a white paste-like object like a conjuration, "Boy, I don't have beeswax, but there is a piece of white wax!"

"Grandma Liu, you are so amazing! How come you have everything?" Zhang Junping looked at the white wax in the old lady's hand in surprise.

White wax is mainly produced in Sichuan, so it is also called Sichuan wax and Chinese wax.

It is a kind of animal wax secreted by white wax insects growing on privet, water white wax and other trees.

The Xiaoyao chair made by Zhang Junping is remade from the components of old furniture. It turns out that the old furniture has been scalded with wax, and the wax has already penetrated into the pipe holes of the wood. At this time, Zhang Junping has saved a lot of trouble. When he heats the wax again, he only needs to re-coat a layer of wax film on the surface to make up for the damaged wax film due to the transformation, so that the color of the entire Happy Chair becomes consistent.

"Boy, who did you learn this craft from?
The carving techniques of the Northern School have the shadow of Beijing works and the traces of Su works. Your master should not be an unknown village craftsman. "The old lady who had been watching Zhang Junping's waxing silently, suddenly asked.

Zhang Junping was taken aback by the question, and looked up at the old lady.

Just through the easy chair he made, you can see his craftsmanship, with his feet, this old lady has something!
It's definitely not as simple as an ordinary orphaned old lady like she said.

"Grandma Liu, I didn't expect you to know wood art too?"

"Wooden art? I don't know, but I just read a lot, so I know some!" The old lady shook her head with a smile.

Without waiting for Zhang Junping to speak, the old lady continued: "Your hometown is in Yuandu, Dongshan Province, a little guy from the countryside actually knows about the Academy of Fine Arts and can still be admitted. I remember that old man Yang Mingde was there. Going to the countryside over there, what is your relationship with Yang Mingde?"

Academy of Fine Arts, Yang Mingde?

Zhang Junping searched the memory of his predecessor in his mind.

Ok!

He came to the Central Academy of Fine Arts to study, and he really has something to do with Yang Mingde.

Professor Yang Mingde, deputy dean of the School of Painting of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, jumped in line in his predecessor's village, and was regarded as the enlightenment teacher of Zhang Junping's predecessor.

After such a search for memory, Zhang Junping felt a lot of balance in his heart.

The capital, the representative of the Northern School, the direct descendant of the Yang family, the first batch of state-level arts and crafts masters in China, Master Yang Mingde, when he jumped in line in his village, he also relied on the craftsmanship of carpenters.

Master Yang Mingde helped his village train many carpenters back then.

It's just that Zhang Junping's predecessor did not learn carpentry or woodcarving skills from Professor Yang Mingde, but Chinese painting.

Master Yang Mingde is not only a master of traditional Chinese painting, but also a master of calligraphy and wood art, known as the three musts.

"Mr. Yang is my first teacher, and I learned Chinese painting from Mr. Yang!" Zhang Junping replied after sorting out the memories about Yang Mingde.

"You learned Chinese painting from that old guy Yang Mingde? Then you learned this woodcraft from you?"

"Uh! It can be regarded as learning from Yang Lao! However, it is not specifically to teach me, but when he is playing with wood, I feel interesting, just watch it, watch it for a long time, it will be!" Zhang Junping can only Explain the origin of your craft in this way.

"It will be over after a long time?" The old lady suddenly stood up from the stool, staring at Zhang Junping and asked.

"Yeah! After watching it for a long time, it will be!
It was only later that I found out that it turned out that the meeting and the real meeting were far from each other..." Zhang Junping replied a little embarrassedly.

The old lady rudely pushed open the door of Zhang Junping's room, walked in, and walked out with a pile of wood carvings in her arms.

Although the house belongs to the old lady, it has been rented to Zhang Junping after all. It is really impolite to enter without permission, but the old lady can't care so much at this time.

The old lady put the wooden sculptures she took out and placed them on the stone table in the yard.

These are exactly the wood carvings that Zhang Junping made after the old lady just gave him the wood carving tools.

The first woodcarving, the ugly one, is a beginner's work.

The second woodcarving, a little better, is just entry level.

The third wood carving is basically similar in shape, which is a complete entry.

The fourth woodcarving already has a trace of god. At this stage, if it is put into later generations, it is basically possible to go to a woodcraft factory and get five or six thousand wages a month to eat.

The fifth woodcarving can initially be compatible with body and spirit. At this stage, if you go to any woodcraft factory, you will be regarded as a master, and you will be raised with a high salary of [-] to [-] yuan a month.

The sixth woodcarving can already be regarded as a famous work. At this point, woodcarving works have basically begun to be sought after by collectors. After a little operation, there is no problem at all with six figures for a single work.

These six wood carvings were created by Zhang Junping for a period of time after he crossed over.

It also reflects the restoration of his skill level.

Whether it's woodcarving, woodcraft, or carpenter, it's all craftsmanship.

Zhang Junping's work perfectly explains a problem.

He just crossed over, although he has the memory of the previous life, he has the skills and experience of the previous life wood art in his mind.

but.

Brain: I will!

Hand: No!I still won't!

Eyes: I see!

Hand: The concubine can't do it!
After a period of training, Zhang Junping slowly returned to the level of his previous life.

However, in the eyes of the old lady, Zhang Junping's progress was a bit shocking.

What kind of enchanting aptitude is this, you can learn it just by looking at it.

The old lady stared straight at Zhang Junping, like she was looking at a rare treasure, "Boy, let's go to the sculpture department after school starts! You continue to stay in the art academy and waste your talent!

Come to the Sculpture Department, I'll let you go straight to my graduate school! "

"Ah?!" Zhang Junping was taken aback by the old lady's words.

"Silly boy, old lady, I saved you with a good heart! But a good heart does not mean a person is stupid, I am the head of the Department of Sculpture at the Central Academy of Fine Arts!

Otherwise, do you think I will just take in a person of unknown origin to live at home? "Seeing Zhang Junping's surprised look, the old lady smiled and showed her identity.

In this way, it is finally explained clearly.

In addition to being kind, the old lady treated him so well because he was a student of the Central Academy of Fine Arts.

It's just that Zhang Junping never imagined that this kind and amiable old man who looked like a neighbor's old lady was actually the head of the Sculpture Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts.

"Liu...Professor Liu...this..." Zhang Junping frowned, not knowing how to respond.

"Call Grandma Liu!
Why, you don't want to come to the sculpture department?
Feeling that the sculpture department is not as good as the Chinese painting department?

Look down on us playing with mud and fiddling with wood? "The old lady glared and pressed her strongly.

"Grandma Liu, how can you?

Am I fiddling with wood? "Zhang Junping quickly explained with a wry smile.

"Okay, stop teasing you!
I'll talk to Lao Yang about it later! "The old lady suddenly changed her face again, and smiled kindly.

"..." Zhang Junping let out a long breath.

The old lady's question is basically a proposition.

His predecessor, and Yang Mingde Yang Lao, although not in the name of master and apprentice, but have the reality of master and apprentice.

However, the old lady was his savior.

There is really no way to answer.

Fortunately, the old lady did not continue to force him.

"It's almost noon, the fish that grandma bought in the morning, and the braised fish at noon will reward you!"

"Grandma Liu, let me stab the fish for you!"

……

In the afternoon, Zhang Junping went out for a walk and pulled back a carload of old doors and windows at a nearby construction site that was being demolished.

Zhang Junping spent [-] cents on this old car, plus [-] cents for the scooter, and a box of [-] cents for the Temple of Heaven. It cost a total of [-] cents.

Naturally, it is not any precious wood, but ordinary pine and cypress.

Zhang Junping didn't really make Mazha, mainly because the rope that wears Mazha is not easy to buy.

It is a small foldable chair that is stronger than Maza.

I worked until it was dark, and I made five small foldable chairs in total.

Although he was young and in good health, Zhang Junping felt his arms were sore after a day of carpentry work.

After a simple wash, Zhang Junping entered the dream with his longing for the future.

...............

The next day, Zhang Junping got up early. After washing up, he rubbed a breakfast at the old lady's place before going out with the small chair and wood carving he made yesterday.

Walking out of the alley, the road outside has already converged into a sea of ​​bicycles.

This bicycle flow is all in time for work in the morning.

In the bicycle river, ringing from time to time, jingle bells, cheerful bells.

This is an era full of vigor, and people who rush to work in the morning have happy, happy and hopeful smiles on their faces.

Happiness is contagious, and walking in the flow of happy and energetic people makes Zhang Junping feel a little better.

In this era, bicycles are the main means of transportation.

Too bad he didn't!

You can only drive on No. 11 and walk all the way to Dashilar.
