Did you see him carving at that time?
Old Master Jun suddenly spoke up.
"I see." "
Shopkeeper Wu nodded. "I was just watching from the side. He didn't make any strings. He just took the knife and went straight down."
"And..."
He paused for a moment, his tone becoming obviously serious. "He carved it with his eyes closed."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a brief moment of silence in the room.
Old Jun raised his eyebrows slightly and then nodded slowly.
This is not too strange.
This is a carving of memory.
But the problem is --
Jun Lao suddenly changed the subject and his tone became solemn. "Memory carving requires at least several decades of master experience to gradually reach the threshold."
"How old is this kid?" "
He raised his eyes to look at Old Mu.
"Did he say he learned it from his grandpa?"
"I've checked. His grandfather does know how to carve, but he's just an amateur." "
Don't you find it strange?
Old Mu was silent for a moment and then nodded.
Qin Hao is indeed no ordinary person.
Not only in carving, but also in his judgment of antiques - that level of precision is almost demonic.
It's really unreasonable for a young man in his early twenties to achieve such a level.
Think about my own students. They all started as postgraduates. But when it comes to practical assessment, none of them can outshine this kid.
"Check it out." "
Mu Lao finally said, "This kid deserves attention." "
-
If Qin Hao knew that these old guys had already started to secretly investigate him, he would probably be speechless.
In fact, he has always been rather cautious.
Ever since he got the Golden Pupil, he has deliberately suppressed himself.
Keep a low profile, be restrained and don't show off.
Because he is very clear that
Too much of a good thing can be bad.
The characters with superpowers in movies often end up in a bad situation.
Being high-profile will only lead to a quicker death.
He just didn't expect that even though he had been so restrained, he would still be targeted.
Fortunately, at least for now, these people have no ill intentions.
Shopkeeper Wu's mood at this moment was completely different.
All he knows is --
I really found a treasure.
Of course, he also knew that such a talent couldn't stay in his small store for long.
During the time Qin Hao was in the store, he did indeed learn a lot.
When he had free time, he even called Lu Xiaobu several times on purpose, telling him not to talk about that painting to others.
The matter of finding bargains --
One time is luck, but two times can still be considered luck.
But if you pick it up every time, it's no longer luck.
There must be something fishy about abnormality.
So after returning from northern Xizang, Qin Hao never made any further moves, neither the root carvings nor that painting.
It's not that I don't want to sell, but that I don't want to be targeted.
There was always a question in his heart -
Why did Master Mu insist that he carve?
This meal soon gave him the answer.
"Xiao Qin, the boss is treating you to a meal." "
Someone called out.
"Ok." "
Qin Hao nodded, but felt somewhat puzzled in his heart.
When they arrived at the hotel, Shopkeeper Wu was clearly in a good mood.
"You're welcome. Feel free." "
"You brat can even carve. What a talent you are!"
Qin Hao could only smile awkwardly.
But deep down, I know clearly -
That's really not entirely his ability.
"You two should learn more from Xiao Qin." "
Wu Shopkeeper turned his head and said to Zhou Qing and Gao Changjiang, "Old Master Mu said that wood carving is worth 20,000."
"What?" "!"
Zhou Qing and Gao Changjiang were both stunned.
Qin Hao couldn't help but have his eyelids twitch.
"Twenty thousand?"
To be honest, he doesn't believe it.
He had also tried root carving and ordinary wood carving before. Even if they were exquisitely carved, a thousand yuan would still be considered a high price.
Those that can fetch a high price are either made of top-quality materials, or have been refined over time, or the author himself is a master.
But he --
It's nothing.
"Really?" "
Qin Hao was puzzled in his heart.
If it were really that valuable, he could carve several in a day, and his efficiency would be even higher than that of machines.
"Will you carve another Buddha statue for me tomorrow?" "
Shopkeeper Wu was clearly a little excited.
"Sure."
Qin Hao agreed resolutely.
He had a good impression of Shopkeeper Wu. At least he was not like the previous Wu Piaopi who only knew how to cheat for money.
"Did you learn this carving from your grandpa?" "
Shopkeeper Wu casually asked.
"Um." "
Qin Hao nodded. "I just picked it up casually. It's all nonsense."
He spoke very lightly.
It's not modesty, but a deliberate restraint.
There are some words that cannot be said.
Some secrets are unknown to anyone.
Even his parents wouldn't reveal the matter of the golden Pupil.
In this world, there is no one who is absolutely reliable.
Even the most trusted friend will have someone else he trusts equally.
Once a secret is spoken, it is no longer a secret.
-
Day by day passed.
That day, Zhou Qing sold a piece of "Duoxi" and made over ten thousand yuan for her store.
He was overjoyed.
Shopkeeper Wu never cuts back. He is always generous with bonuses and often treats people to meals. He is much better than his previous boss.
"Xiao Qin." "
Zhou Qing, while tidying up the counter, said, "In our line of work, don't be annoyed by people."
Those who come to inquire about prices are all potential customers.
The one who hesitated just now is an old customer.
If you mention a few more selling points, it will be easier for them to make up their minds.
Qin Hao nodded and sincerely thanked him.
"I'm going for a walk." "
Zhou Qing left after saying that.
Gao Changjiang smiled and shook his head.
This kid has probably gone to Manager Lin's place again.
"Having a crush on someone else's daughter, I'll show off whenever I get the chance." "
Zhou Qing didn't come back until after noon.
As soon as he entered the door, he lowered his voice and said mysteriously:
Do you know?
"Something has happened to Manager Lin." "
Just now someone sold a painting and it was sold for over 40,000 yuan.
As a result, the seller turned around and came to the door, claiming it was counterfeit.
The atmosphere in the store changed instantly.
