Another World’s Fruit Tycoon

"Master Chen, can you help me see the quality of this olive nucleus?" Wang Zhiwei rushed from Copper City to Zinc City for the olive nuclei in his hand, and the master in front of him is a famous nuclear carving master in Zinc City. Chen Li.

　　 "Your olive pit is a new material and it is of little value. If you really want to carve it for me, I am afraid that the labor cost will be much higher than the value of your olive."

Although Chen Li's words are very euphemistic, the person opposite him should be very clear that it is not cheap to ask him for a shot. Generally, most of the people who can contact him are introduced by acquaintances in the circle, and their worth is not too bad. , The other party rashly took out this quality olive pit, which seemed a bit abrupt.

　　 "Master Chen, the quality of this olive pit is not good?" In fact, Wang Zhiwei doesn't know much about olive pits, but people in the copper city cultural and play circles more or less have received some Kunyang olive pits.

　　In fact, the cost of olive pits was originally not high. The newer the material, the cheaper it is. The quality of Kunyang olive pits is good, but the material for olive pits picked from fresh olives is really new and cannot be renewed.

　　 People who play with this kind of stuff have a lot of old materials in their hands, like Kunyang’s olive pits are not high-end materials at all, and they generally deceive laymen.

　　 "It cost a lot of money to collect this material?"

　　 "That's not true."

When Wang Zhiwei first handed over olives, they were originally sold as fruits and ingredients. Who knows that the goods have not been sold out yet, this thing has turned into a kind of Wenwan, but everything related to Wenwan will not be too cheap. In addition, the original price of Kunyang olives is expensive, and the olive pits cost 200 to 250 yuan each. Wang Zhiwei left dozens of good olive pits for himself, ready to make a bracelet.

　　 "The size of this olive pit is good, and it looks like the oil is also good. If it's hard, you have to know it. My labor cost is 4,000."

In fact, if Chen Li’s price is not so high between friends, it’s about 2,500 yuan per piece, but he doesn’t know what Wang Zhiwei’s intentions are. Generally, people who ask him to carve olive pits will never come up with this new material. Chen Li intentionally wants to scare off the opponent with high prices.

　　 He sees too many laymen like this. He always feels that what he brings is good, and all the carvings are worthy of it. After that, he ran far away when he asked the price.

　　 "Then Master Chen, take a look at my wrist, how many bracelets are more suitable."

　　 Chen Li was taken aback as he looked at the thick wrist stretched out by the other party. Unexpectedly, this person was really willing to spend 4000 carvings to match this olive pit.

　　 In fact, the people who play Kunyang the most olive nucleus at present are still the group of wholesalers under Kunyang. Don't underestimate the vanity of the masters. This olive nucleus is a trivial matter, but face is a top priority.

　　 Two days ago, Lao Xia accidentally leaked his newly carved Kunyang olive core bracelet when he was picking up the goods at the Kunyang gate. It was said to be carved by the most powerful master in the Zhoushan Nuclear Carving Garden in Zinc City.

When Wang Zhiwei saw the Buddha statue on this small olive pit, it was kind and good-looking, and it was carved very well. So today I drove so far in the car and inquired about Master Chen. After all, it was with the master nuclear carving master in Lao Xia’s mouth. The one with the same name is Master Chen in front of him.

　　 "I can't pick up urgent items here. I have to wait at least half a month, and I'll just carve one. I'll take care of the rest."

　　Wang Zhiwei didn't understand this at first, but he believed that when Chen Li said this, he left the deposit and olive pits and left.

　　 "Xiao Chao, these ten olive pits will be made into round beads."

　　 "Okay, how many days does the master and customer give the project?"

　　 "Half a month."

After Wang Zhiwei left, Chen Li called for his apprentice. In fact, nuclear carving has become an industry long ago. Most nuclear carvings are machine-carved, and very few are hand-carved. Since the guests paid for hand-carving. Price, then he will naturally not deceive people on this point.

　　 But in Chen Li's opinion, his level is good enough for Wang Zhiwei to carve one, and the rest is just thrown to his apprentice Li Chao. The quality of this olive core is enough for the apprentice to practice.

Although it is a practice, it is not a simple matter to carve an olive pit into a round bead. First of all, it is necessary to be very clear about the structure of the olive nucleus. Moreover, the beads need to be polished by hand. In such a short period of time, Li Chao must polish a string of beads, which can be regarded as an assessment of Chen Li's apprentice.

Li Chao has been apprentice with his master for 5 years. At this stage, he is already familiar with various nuclear carving craftsmanship. The quotation on the market can also offer a price of around 800 per piece, but the good material is generally not available to the master. Practice for him.

　　 Li Chao took the 12 olive pits that Chen Li handed over. The master only asked for 10 finished products. Obviously, the extra was to prevent him from scrapping.

　　 It was a bit nervous to produce 10 finished products in half a month, so Li Chao quickly went into the preparations for nuclear carving.

　　 Making a round olive nucleus does not involve styling, so Li Chao only slightly observed the structure of the olive nucleus before starting the polishing work.

With the machine turned on, Li Chao discovered that the quality of the olive pit was good when the walnut was polished~www.NovelMTL.com~ It is very oily, and the hardness is also very good. If this is an old material, only I'm afraid the price will not be cheap.

　　 Although Li Chao had a good appraisal of the olive nucleus in his heart, the movements in his hand did not stop. Soon the sharp areas of the two ends of the olive nucleus began to be smoothed by Li Chao, and the olive nucleus developed into a round shape.

I don’t know if it’s because the olive nucleus is thick and oily, or Li Chao’s feel is good today. In short, the polishing of this olive nucleus is progressing very smoothly, and soon a round olive nucleus is ready. .

Li Chao wiped the polished olive pit with a cloth, and found that the texture inside was very clear. Even without the oily and shiny feeling, the quality of the olive pit is really amazing. it is good.

　　 I looked up and saw that more than four hours had passed. Today, the polishing of the olive pit is a bit smoother. During this period, Li Chao didn't feel any difficulties at all. This olive pit gave Li Chao the illusion that he possessed the skills of a master.

Li Chao decided to polish this batch of olive pits carefully. If none of the olive pits were scrapped, then the remaining two olive pits would be his own material. Then Li Chao was ready to carve his own design for half a year. , With such good materials, I believe that the process of making products should be much smoother.

　　 If the apprentice Li Chao could feel the technical gains of these olive nuclei, then Chen Li's positioning of these olive nuclei would be much higher.

　　 High hardness and oily material, you don't need to worry about temperature and humidity when engraving, let alone worry about cracking and other issues, this is simply a good material that they can meet but cannot ask for.
