Chapter 1214 Take a look at Zhang
The yard of Ji’s family is very similar to Chu Heng’s. It also has three main rooms and an inverted seat. There are no east and west wing rooms. There are a few ridges in the open space in the middle yard, but it looks like It had been abandoned for a while and was completely bare.
When Chu Heng came in, there was a snot-nosed kid squatting on the ground under the eaves. He didn’t know what he was doing. When he saw a stranger coming, the little kid looked up. He was a little scared and ran away in a panic. When I got back to the house, I could vaguely see a shoe sole mark on my buttocks exposed from my crotchless pants.
It seems that he has just been beaten, and it has not been more than an hour.
“This is my grandson. The child is a little afraid of strangers.” Ji Ye explained to Chu Heng with a smile, and raised his hand to guide him towards a small building made of broken bricks and tiles next to the inverted house. House: "This way please."
"Okay."
Chu Heng walked into the room with a smile while carrying his bag.
The house had no windows and the light was not very good. The first thing the old man did when he entered the house was to pull down the light cord on the wall. With a "click" sound, the large-wattage light bulb on the roof came on. It lit up.
Under the strong orange light, Chu Heng could see the room clearly.
The room is not big, only about ten square meters. There is a row of simple wooden workbenches next to the south and east walls. There are various tools on them. One of them has a vise. An unfinished hammer head.
"Sit down."
At this time, Old Man Ji diligently moved a bench and placed it next to Chu Heng.
"Thank you." Chu Heng sat down next to the workbench, took the drawings and the box out of the bag, put them on the workbench, and said to the old man with a smile: "Master Ji, these are my Please take a look at the drawings and materials of the jewelry you want.”
“I’m not busy, I have a few questions to ask you first.” Ji Ye politely took out his cigarette without looking at those things. He handed one over and asked the doubts in his heart: "This Sir, I'm curious. I don't like to wear these things these days. Why do you still think of doing this?"
"Hey, you said this" Chu Heng smiled. , patiently confused and said: "I work for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and you should also know that in a job like ours, we have to come into contact with foreigners from time to time, and sometimes we have to attend some banquets, and we have to buy some jewelry to support the occasion. .”
"You don't know, foreigners are very particular. You can't always use the same kind of jewelry, and the style can't be too old, otherwise it will be easy to be laughed at. But we don't have the money to buy new ones, so I will ask others if I can. I found you and wanted to ask you to give me some.”
“Oh, I understand,” the old man said suddenly. He nodded, feeling a sense of national honor in his heart. He patted his chest hard and promised: "Don't worry, I will make this batch of jewelry of yours well, and I won't make those foreigners laugh."
"Thank you. Don't bother." Chu Heng smiled and puffed on his cigarette, reaching out and pushing the things on the workbench towards the old man.
"Let me take a look first." Ji Ye took the drawing first, and as soon as his eyes caught it, he instantly froze.
He looked at it again and again, and finally scratched his head and asked him with a sad look on his face: "Sir, please forgive me for my poor eyesight, but what is this picture of yours... about?"
"Can't you understand?"
Chu Heng gave him a strange look, leaned forward, pointed at the first pattern on the first piece of paper and said: "This is a bracelet. It is roughly the same as a watch chain. It consists of a total of one hundred and eight hexagonal fragments. Each fragment is inlaid with broken gems. There is a flower made of gems and gold in the middle part... "
Ji Ye is worthy of being a leader in the industry. He can tell the truth with just one point. After Chu Heng described it for a moment, he already had a rough idea in his mind, and his eyes became bright: "This one is quite new. I did it like this. This is the first time I have seen it in a few years, but the process is not difficult and it can be done."
Chu Heng felt relieved when he heard this, and then continued to explain the second style to him.
“This is a brooch, inspired by the redbud flower. Oh, by the way, do you know the redbud flower?”
"I've heard of it, but I've never seen it."
"Then can you imagine it just by listening to my description?"
"You really think highly of me."
"Tsk , then change it to peony. You have always seen peony, right? ""That's for sure. Who in Sijiucheng has never seen this?"
"Okay, then it's peony, but the previous design needs to be changed... In this way, this brooch mainly highlights the word "colorful", but it can't be too flashy. Too easy is not enough. Come on, come on, take a look at these gems I have. "Which color do you think is better?"
"Well... red, bright red, also noble."
"Sure, let's study it next. Study the leaves. I also want to use gemstones for this leaf. You have to polish it very thin, make it translucent, moist and full, and verdant, and then use enamel to aggregate it. It must have row upon row of beautiful layers. Okay?”
“It’s a bit difficult, but it’s not a big problem. It can be done.”
“Let’s talk about the next one.”
"Wait a minute. I'll draw these first. See if it looks like what you want."
"Okay."
......
Chu Heng There were more than twenty kinds of jewelry to be made. The two of them studied in the small studio for more than two hours, checking for omissions and omissions before finally settling on the final style.
“It’s over.”
His mouth was dry as he talked, and he let out a long sigh of relief. He picked up the tea brought by Ji Ye's wife on the work table and took a sip. When he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered that there was something he had not explained, and he quickly said: "That's right. , Master Ji, I remember that the jewelry made by a master like you must be marked, right? "
"Yes, it is a habit, so that it is easy to distinguish." head.
"Then don't forget to mark it." Chu Heng warned, then stood up, took out a hundred yuan from his pocket and put it on the table, smiling: "This is the deposit. You keep it and I'll give you the rest when it's done.
"Okay, thank you. "Old man Ji took the money with a smile on his face, counted it in front of him, and then carefully put it into his pocket.
"That's it, I'll leave first. ”
After saying that, Chu Heng picked up his bag and turned around to leave.
Old man Ji hurriedly followed him out to see him off, his attitude even more flattering than before. It was true that he was a master, but a master also had to eat, right? When it comes to your parents, you can't please them too much.
A few moments.
Chu Heng returned to the car and raised his hand to look at the time. Seeing that it was almost time to get off work, he pondered for a moment and then drove away quickly.
Not long after, the grandson came to the road that Zhang Yan must pass before getting off work.
"Crunch."
He parked the car on the side of the road, then Shi Shiran got out of the car, smoking while waiting for Zhang Yanyan to pass by after get off work.
More than ten minutes passed like this.
With a messy hair, wearing tattered clothes, dirty and smelly, Zhang praised this small bag hanging on the street corner.
The old man immediately spotted the saucy Volga and the handsome man beside the car. He grinned and quickly walked over.
