Chapter 15 The prototype of specialties, treasure appraisal
The last one is the bonesmith, who entered the hall with cough, phlegm and shortness of breath. He said that he suffered from pneumoconiosis after grinding aggregates for many years.

Zhao Zhen saw that Li Gu was standing a little unsteadily. Let sit down and talk. And ordered to make tea. Zhao Zhen asked Zhao Yuanli to get a snake bone and ask Li Gu.
"Is it possible to make a bone bow from the bones of a level 3 green anaconda?"
Li Gu took the snake bone and tugged it hard: "This is simple, ready to be bowed. You only need to polish the middle spine to use it as a handle, and the bow arms do not need to be processed. Just add bow tips at both ends and buckle the string.”
"That's very good. Please report the necessary materials to Zhao Yuanli in charge. First, make the snake bones from the village into snake bone bows, and then use a snake skull and several snake teeth to make bone tools."
Zhao Zhen also asked Li Gu to arrange a quieter courtyard, and asked: "Old Master Li, would you like to take care of your disciples?" , It’s a pity that I am ill and cannot work for a long time, but I am willing to teach apprentices.”
After chatting some more, Zhao Zhen asked, “Lao Zhang, do you have any requirements for choosing an apprentice?”
“Yes. "They should be more refined, not clumsy. It would be best if they are literate, and even better if they can draw." Zhao Zhenrang informed Ding Chou to select five or seven young people for Master Li Gu to choose.
Speaking of the work he was good at, Li Gu showed a lot of smiles on his tired face and said: "This bone-making bow does not show that I am very capable. It is just polishing and assembly. Even a skilled apprentice can do it. The little old man is best at finesse." You can carve anything from flowers, birds, fish and insects. This bone carving needs to be made of longer and thicker bones. Usually, cow bones and camel bones are used as raw materials.
The right bone is selected. After the materials are prepared, the aggregates must be preliminarily processed, including cutting, oil removal, grease removal, and bleaching. This is where the apprentices begin to get familiar with the processed bones before they become the materials for making bone sculptures. It is called material selection and cutting, and then the carving process really begins.
Carving is a test of the coordination of the artist's hands, eyes, and heart, so it is necessary to choose something more precise. Clumsy people cannot do bone carving. Craftsman.
The little man is the best at carving peonies. A complete bone carving of peonies requires more than a dozen processes, and it takes several months for a large one and half a month for a small one." He finished speaking in one breath, coughing continuously.
Zhao Zhen was also very happy. He did not expect that this old man was actually a treasure, with superb skills and willingness to teach apprentices. If this continues, it is impossible to develop bone carvings into a specialty product in this fantasy world. When Zhao Zhen thought of this, he thought: "I just got something from this village. It is a rare spiritual thing called Queen Mother Grape. Eating five kilograms of it can improve your spirit. I think my husband is only one step away from entering the level." If you succeed in teaching disciples this year, next August, when the grapes are ripe, I will grant you five kilograms of Queen Mother grapes to help you enter the ranks.”
Li Gu was so excited that he coughed again, "Thank you so much, Master, for not giving me all your money to repay the kindness of the Master for cultivating me."
Zhao Zhen let him rest for a while, and then Zhao Ji went down to prepare the bone carving workshop.
Zhao Yuanli was the only one left in the court. He took out four things from his sleeves and placed them one by one on the table in front of Zhao Zhen.
The first thing is a shining tooth
World Log
Wolf King’s Fang (First-Level Material)
Zhao Yuanli pointed at the wolf’s fang and said: “Master, this was left by the Wolf King who attacked the convoy on the road. Yesterday, he drove away all the wolf corpses. It was peeled off, and the fur was being tanned. This wolf fang was slightly shiny after being taken out. I saw that it was not a common product, so I gave it to the owner to see if it was useful.
"Yes, this thing has been purchased. Jie, you send it to Li Gu and have it carved into a pendant. It may become a treasure. Let’s also see how good Li Gu’s craftsmanship is. ”
The second piece is a picture scroll. Expand and look at the "Double Cow Picture"
Tao Hongjing painted two cows: one was led by a golden halter, and the other meandered among the water plants. ("Memory of Famous Paintings")
World Diary
"Two Cows Picture", if you hold it, you can find a job as a shepherd boy. (Restriction; age no more than twelve years old)
In addition to the ancient book "Water Margin", this object is the fourth object that Zhao Zhen has seen that can awaken a designated profession. Only Tantan can use it at home. Next time I go back and ask my parents for their opinions. If you use it, give it to Tantan; if you don't use it, find an opportunity to sell it. Enrich the funds in hand. Zhao Zhen only has 450 yuan of working capital left.
The third piece is a piece of wood, more than a foot long and as thick as a calf. Only after Zhao Zhen launched his investigations many times did he realize the efficacy of this product
World Log
Soapwood (it smells very fragrant when burned, and can ward off evil spirits. It can kill ghosts, drive away ghosts and avoid evil spirits)
It smells very fragrant when burned, and can ward off evil spirits. One is Xilou and the other is Huan. In the past, there was a magical witch called Yao Qi, who could use talismans to impeach hundreds of ghosts, capture evil spirits, and kill them with soapwood. People in the world compete to get this wood as a tool to use it to drive away ghosts, because it is called soapwood. (from "Youyang Zazu")
Zhao Zhen was moved when he saw this thing. The first thing he thought of was to make a bracelet and carry it often to ward off ghosts and evil spirits. The main material can be carved into a wooden sword. This will trouble Guang Hui.
The last item was a stone pier, which looked like a drum. He patted it with his hand and found it was solid. Zhao Zhen originally thought it was an ordinary stone, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be a treasure.
World Log
Wujun Stone Drum (Level 1 Treasure)
Effect 1: Far-reaching, if you hit it with paulownia wood carved into the shape of a fish, the sound can travel 5 miles.
Half the bank of the Linjiang River in Wu County collapsed, and a stone drum came out. The hammer made no sound. Emperor Wu asked Zhang Hua, and Hua said: "You can take tung wood from Sichuan and carve it into the shape of a fish. When you buckle it, it will make a sound." So as he said, the sound was heard for many miles. "Record of Strange Things"
Three dead things, all three are considered treasures, Zhao Zhen did not expect them. Could it be because he was the only one in the area?
The fantasy world of his father Zhao Jin is currently a hunting ground and uninhabited. My mother, Li E, works as an accountant. The fantasy world is just a small courtyard, surrounded by fog, and the surrounding land has not yet been discovered. The second mother-in-law, Miao Ying, works as a cook (Lu). The fantasy world is a vegetable garden. She cultivates it all by herself and has not recruited any villagers. The eldest brother has a martial arts training ground of half an acre, and the sister-in-law, Zou Yulan, has a small courtyard like her mother. , all are counting rooms.
The fantasy world of a family has no reference value to Zhao Zhen. After all, Zhao Zhen's family has been prosperous for at least thirty years. However, this kind of knowledge is not taught in schools and is kept secretly passed down from family to family. After all, knowledge is also a kind of power. The Zhou royal family established schools only to fight against the riots in the fantasy world, and naturally only the most basic knowledge was taught. If you want to get the secret, it is impossible not to pay the price.
Zhao Zhen could only write down his questions and leave them for the future.
