Chen Guo spread his hands and didn't say anything, but the meaning of the words he didn't say was. My brothers and sisters understood: The material is expensive, and it's still purely handmade. Although I have limited personal abilities and am not a master of carving, the things I made are different from those stunning bitches from lathes trucks, so I sold them for 700 to 800 yuan. Is it expensive?

Are those sold online all processed using machines?

Then there is nothing to say.

How good can a rough embryo be processed in a day after turning the lathe? How long does it take for the third brother to make such a small turtle... It's so rich in the world. Everyone is really looking at it. It basically takes two weeks to get from a whole piece of wood to grinding into a finished product. From this perspective, the price of seven or eight hundred is really not expensive.

Of course, for students, the price is of course not cheap. Even at Xijiao University, many students have a monthly living expenses of just this. However, in this era of the Internet explosion, everyone's knowledge is broad. They have never eaten pork or seen pigs running. They know that there are many rich people in society. For those rich people, the 700 to 800 yuan is not money at all. People go to bars to have a drink and go to restaurants to have a meal. There is no comparison between us poor students.

"I understand," Zhang Wei nodded and asked again: "But third brother, it takes a lot of time to do such a person? I'm afraid you've only made two since the start of school. If you remember correctly, this is the third one, this..."

"Do you want to say that you can't make much money?" Chen Guo said understandingly as he looked at Zhang Wei's desire to speak but stopped.

"Uh..." Zhang Wei touched his head, feeling a little embarrassed, and admitted it.

"I didn't point to making money by this thing. It's just a personal hobby. Just like you are idle and playing two games. As for whether you can sell it, it doesn't matter," Chen Guo didn't have any embarrassment and explained to Zhang Wei: "If you can sell it, make some money. If you can't sell it, I'll play it myself. Anyway, the money for buying materials a month is only 180, which actually saves a lot of money than you recharge your games... I don't plan to be an internet celebrity."

What Chen Guo said was untrue.

He started learning carving and bonsai with his grandfather at the age of 8. His craftsmanship has been good over the years. In his grandfather's words, "If you can't go to school, you can at least go to a wood carving factory to make a living." After three years of high school, he was short of time and of course he didn't have time to play live broadcasts, but like all students, Chen Guo also registered several short video app accounts. After more than two years of account raising, he had live broadcast permissions on K-hand and D-sound. After the college entrance examination this summer, he started playing live broadcasts and short videos while boring. Although this kind of wood carving live broadcast room is not very attractive to most people, everyone likes to watch talent live broadcasts such as singing and dancing, but after a holiday, Chen Guo still attracted some wood carving and wood arts lovers, and sold a lot of things he saved over the years.

After school started, Chen Guo did not hide his identity as a student of Xijiao University. In order to make everyone believe in him, he even held a few live broadcasts on the way to school. Basically, the old man in Chen Guo’s live broadcast room knew that this guy named “craftsman” was a freshman at Xijiao University.

As a 985, 211 and C9 university in China, Xijiao University is born with a halo of trust. After knowing that Chen Guo is a freshman at Xijiao University, some "old people" who often appear in the live broadcast room even began to order what they want from the results. For example, the richest African red sandalwood that Chen Guo made now was customized by a certain audience in the live broadcast room. The price was not as high as Chen Guo said, but 1,200.

Both of them were very satisfied with this price. The result felt that it would be great to make 1,200 yuan in addition to the 2,000 yuan living expenses I gave at home for less than a month. The audience felt that it would be great to buy a whole wood hand-carved whole wood made of African red sandalwood that I watched with my own eyes every day, and I made a lot of money.

However, the quotation of 1200 is not easy to tell your roommates.

"That's true!"

The three roommates nodded together.

The students of Xijiao University are still very proud. They agree with Chen Guo’s statement that “This is a hobby. I don’t plan to be an internet celebrity anyway”: We are students of Xijiao University and are truly proud of heaven. In the future, we will become pillars and backbone of society. It would be fine if we had nothing to do to have fun, so let me become an internet celebrity?

What a joke?!

Do you want your buddy’s face? Do you want your Xijiao University’s face?

"Last brother, can I ask another question?" Zhang Wei hesitated for a moment and asked again.

"Ask," Chen Guo smiled: "As long as I can answer."

"Then I'm not polite... Third brother, you carved the most wealthy world. If you were a very famous wood carving master, how much would it cost?"

As soon as Zhang Wei's question came out, Wang Yadong and Li Enlong were immediately waiting for Chen Guo's answer, and they were equally curious about this question.

"It's hard to say. You understand that masters are different from masters. Some masters are purely blown out. The works of such blown masters are probably worth thousands or tens of thousands. However," Chen Guo thought for a moment and said, "If a master at the level of 'Huaxia Arts and Crafts Master' takes action, I guess it will take at least 100,000?"

"From 100,000? Damn!"

Zhang Wei couldn't help but swear: Just such a small wooden turtle, it's a hundred thousand yuan?! He felt that his views were refreshed.

However, Wang Yadong's focus is different from that of Zhang Wei: "Last third brother, what's going on with this 'Chinese Arts and Crafts Master'? Is it considered an official title given by the official?"

"This question is good," Chen Guo said: "The 'Huaxia Arts and Crafts Master' is not only the official title given by the official, but the title is not given by some association, but by the cabinet. It is considered to be the most formal official recognition."

"What?"

"Damn!"

"Is the Cabinet officially recognized?"

The information Chen Guo exposed shocked the three brothers very much. Not to mention, just now, the three brothers really thought that this "Chinese Arts and Crafts Master" was the title given by some association with a little official background. I didn't expect that it was given by the cabinet? This was a bit scary.

Seeing that my brothers and others were interested in this thing, Chen Guo also happily told everyone, and then continued: "After the founding of the People's Republic of China, our country initially named people who have made significant achievements in the field of arts and crafts as old artists. Later, our country formulated the "Regulations on the Protection of Traditional Arts and Crafts". After that, the state awarded the title of "Huaxia Arts and Crafts Master" to those who meet certain conditions and have been engaged in arts and crafts production for a long time by the Cabinet's department responsible for the protection of traditional arts and crafts.

'Huaxia Arts and Crafts Master' is a national title and the highest title in our country in the field of arts and crafts. The first session was 1979, but this selection was not available every year. It has only been seven sessions since the first session. The most recent selection was last year. At that time, masters from all industries including ceramics, jade carvings, wood carvings and other industries participated in the selection, and only 87 people were selected in total. So you can imagine how precious this title is, and how powerful the person who can win the title of 'Huaxia Arts and Crafts Master' is."

“…”

Zhang Wei, Wang Yadong and Li Enlong were already stunned.

If they thought that what Chen Guo said just now would cost at least 100,000 yuan to make a "Chinese Arts and Crafts Master" carve a "wealthy world" and it would be a bit expensive, then now, they don't think so: 87 arts and crafts masters have been selected from all walks of life in the country, such as jade carving, ceramics, wood carving, etc., and arts and crafts related to arts and crafts, then how many people can get this title if they are specifically in the wood carving industry?

Three or five?

At most, only seven or eight, right?

From the 40 years since the reform and opening up, a total of seven sessions have been selected. Among these living masters, those who have died are removed, and those who are too old to engage in carving and who are still able to engage in wood carving are probably 20 of them. These are all real national treasure masters. If you can spend 100,000 yuan, you can ask the master to help you carve a cultural arts for yourself. Is it good to make a fortune?

"What about you, the third brother? What level are you?" Zhang Weixin said frankly and couldn't help asking.

"Me?" Looking at the curious eyes of the brothers, Chen Guo smiled: "I haven't passed the exam, and I don't know what level I am at."

"That's how..." Zhang Wei was a little disappointed.

"Well," Chen Guo nodded, and then said, "But I learned this carving from my grandfather. My grandfather has a provincial senior arts and craftsman certificate."

“…”

The three brothers were speechless. They always thought that the wood carvings of the third brother were wild and they grew up wildly. Unexpectedly, they still studied under a famous teacher. Although they didn’t know what level this “provincial senior arts and crafts artist” was, in analogy, at least they could be equivalent to a university professor, right?

The worst thing is that this teacher is also the third brother's biological grandfather. Do you think this is annoying?

Li Enlong, who hadn't spoken much, couldn't help it: "Is there any reason for it? Third brother, your grandfather is so awesome, why are your grades still so good?"

"Because my grandfather said that this thing is actually a personal hobby, and it's good to treat it as a second profession," Chen Guo said with confidence: "But if it's the main profession, it depends on the level of culture."

"Then what is your grandpa doing?"

"My grandfather? He turned out to be the principal of our village primary school. He has been retired for seven or eight years. What's wrong?"

"nothing."
