Chen Mange returned to the room to rest angrily, and Bai Shuhang quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Ah, the female devil is gone! Set off firecrackers to celebrate!

As a result, he was extremely happy and sad, and he cut a large piece of it with one knife.

Lu Zian said coldly: "Are you peeling the carrot skin? Are you trying to show that you are strong?"

"..." Bai Shuhang was so cowardly that he shrank his neck and did not dare to make a sound. He silently moved the big piece aside and continued to carve.

As a result, I finally got a normal carving. There was a knot behind him that could not be inserted, so he could only stab it one by one. As a result, the first few cuts were not inserted, and the second one was stabbed too deeply. A small piece of wood fell out when he pulled it out with force.

Lu Zian sneered: "Pick out the radish and bring out the mud. Are you doing a performance? Jiuqianyishen? Do you want to find someone to voice you?"

Poor Bai Shuhang shrank into a quail and his face turned red.

never mind.

Lu Zi put down the teacup and lifted the knife: "Look."

"Oh!" Bai Shuhang sat upright obediently, not daring to blink.

Lu Zian pointed to the root material: "Carving, the knife is stable, and when it comes to flat, it is flat. For such a flat surface, you don't have to pay attention to any skills, just dig it with one knife at a time."

The wood chips fell down, and the tip of the knife gradually went in, and stopped on a knot.

Lu Zi'an stopped and gently knocked on the tip of the knife on the joint: "When encountering a joint, it will be broken. It is not to let you break the tip of the knife, but to explore it inward at a diagonal angle and slowly cut it from the surroundings to the middle... But because this is a root carving, you have to pay attention to not leaving carving marks and not hurting the texture of the overall part."

Bai Shuhang nodded like a chicken pecking at the rice, and subconsciously took the carving knife and followed the roots in front of him.

Seeing that he had made some progress, Lu Zi'an nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, that's it. I'll do more."

Although Bai Shuhang was careless, he had been studying for so many years and still had a sense of knife, but he was just not serious before.

Now that I have practiced seriously, there is no trouble. I have quietly carved out a circle with a diameter of one centimeter.

Lu Zi'an held the carving knife and tapped him around the circle: "Look here, you can see that there are edges and corners, but circles have no corners. Isn't this let you make a square body? Understand? Try to cut as many knifes as possible to make it smooth and smooth, as I said just now, you can't leave carving marks."

Damn, it's too difficult.

Bai Shuhang nodded with a bitter face: "Okay, I will work hard!"

Seeing that he began to carve the next round, Lu Zian reached out to him: "Give me your phone."

He used his WeChat to tell Zou Kai, then added Zou Kai's WeChat with Bai Shuhang's mobile phone. Zou Kai quickly passed the friend verification.

He sent a video to Zou Kai: "What are you doing?"

"Play the game!" Zou Kai said happily: "Hehe, everything is over. I'll have tonight all night! By the way, is Brother An's WeChat account your account?"

"Well, it's not a small trumpet. Thank you for your hard work, it's okay all night." Lu Zian praised him, and then changed the subject: "Then do you help me with a little favor?"

Zou Kai's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Brother An, you said! I'll be a man when I frown when I'm not a man!"

"Well, there's no need to be that trouble." Lu Zian pointed the camera at Bai Shuhang: "Just help me stare at him and don't let him be lazy."

Damn this operation?

Zou Kai frowned and said, "Where did this monkey come out? What did he do? He actually needs someone to follow him."

Lu Zian smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just because he has to do it all night, and I'm going to go to bed. Since you're also all night, that's just right."

He fixed the phone to the coffee table and aimed it at Bai Shuhang: "Practice well, the gap between each hole should not exceed five millimeters."

After saying that, he picked up his cell phone and returned to the room leisurely, leaving Bai Shuhang and Zou Kai staring at each other.

Both of them were filled with various MMPs in their hearts.

Of course, Lu Zian still left a quilt for Bai Shuhang. Well, he felt that he was really kind.

The next morning he got up to check the results. Bai Shuhang was already sleeping with the quilt in his arms and snoring loudly.

I checked the root material and it was covered with perforated holes, some were large and some were small, and some were carved, but more were about one centimeter in diameter. The spacing between each adjacent hole was basically within three to five millimeters.

Lu Zi'an nodded with satisfaction, but it was quite helpful.

Wake up Bai Shuhang, after breakfast, Lu Zi'an took him to another ingredient.

This is the root of a red bean tree. It is obviously dead, with uneven surfaces and obvious traces of various insects and ants erode.

Put it on the ground upside down, stretching its roots around in a mess, and its teeth and claws are very intimidating.

"Come on, carry it over." Lu Zi'an rolled up his sleeves and carried the root of the tree to the coffee table with Bai Shuhang.

Lu Zian nodded at the tree root: "Tell me, what do you think it looks like?"

What does this... look like? It looks like a tree root...

Bai Shuhang was confused, and groaned for a long time, muttering: "Like, like a branch..."

"Very good." Lu Zian clapped his hands: "Then you make it into branches."

"Ah?" Bai Shuhang was stunned: "This is made into branches?"

Lu Zian nodded: "Of course, since you think it is like a branch, then make it into a branch."

“…”

Seeing him looking confused and not knowing how to start, Lu Zian sighed: "Have you ever done a root carving?"

"Do it." Bai Shuhang rubbed his hands: "Grandpa said I'm more suitable for root carving. He used to ask me to practice when he was still there, but my uncle asked me to start from the basics, so I've been practicing sword skills now."

Mr. Bai's vision is still very accurate. Lu Zi'an nodded: "The art of root carving emphasizes three parts artificial and seven parts natural. It is created under the limitation of root materials under natural root direction and knots, scars, holes and other conditions. This is the principle."

Bai Shuhang has a foundation, but he is not suitable for regular wood carvings. He is prone to nervousness and will mess up everything by step. However, if you look at it from another perspective, you may find new discoveries.

Lu Zi'an gently tapped on the wood carving: "The carving is a wood carving. Since you think it looks like a branch, then make it into a branch according to your own ideas. You don't need to think too much about what it will be like after it is made. Just follow your first idea and use three-point artificial sculpting and deleting according to the natural roots so that the carving part will not be exposed."

That's OK?

Bai Shuhang's eyes lit up: "Whatever tool I use, what method I use? It's not necessarily limited to the carving knife?"

"Of course." Lu Zian opened another set of root carving tools brought by Wu Yu: "Shovel blade, scraper, pile of zipper, wooden hammer, steel file, use whatever you like. I don't care about your process, and you don't have to consider whether your operation complies with the rules. Just do it according to your own ideas."

"Okay!" Bai Shuhang responded loudly, his eyes lit up around the tree roots twice, and then he began to prepare to peel and remove the rot.

The general method of peeling and removing rot is to soak the root material in water for more than a month, and then carefully remove the skin. Use a small brush or wire brush to dip it in water to remove the inner skin.

However, time was tight and there was no time for them to soak slowly. Moreover, the roots of the tree were rotten, so Bai Shuhang directly used the fire roasting method. He picked up the blowtorch and adjusted the heat several times before he carefully began to spray the roots.

If the fire is small, the effect will not be achieved. The fire will burn the wood inside the root material to char, so this degree is very test for the craftsman's observation ability.
