When Zhang Can saw this stall and the things in the store, he knew it was him. He stopped and asked, "Master, I want to ask..."

"You want to carve seals?" The old man raised his head and looked at Zhang Can, with a guess immediately, and said, "No one wants to carve seals for a person as young as you, only the elderly still have the habit of carving them!"

Indeed, now that technology is developed, almost no young people use private seals, unless it is a company, and the carving official seals must be proved and cannot be carved in private hands. Therefore, industries like this old man who carve seals are basically unable to find food now. However, Zhang Can also understand that in the antique industry, some collectors who have good skills still ask them to process their own stone and wood, etc., and the carving costs usually given by collectors are relatively high, which is enough for their living expenses.

So when the old man saw Zhang Can's age, he had some speculations, probably he was not here to carve and process it.

Zhang Can immediately took the stone in his hand to him and smiled and said, "Master, I want to process my stone. If the cost is, you can just offer a price."

The old man was stunned. It could be seen that Zhang Can's tone was indeed casual. He relied on his skills to make a living. He would do it as long as he had business. After thinking about it, he stopped his work and asked, "Your stone?...how do you need to process it?"

When the old man saw the stone in Zhang Can's hand, he was shocked. How should he process such an ordinary piece of bluestone and white material? This material cannot be carved into any ornament, nor can he carve a seal. It is worth nothing to carve into any ornament. It is not worth much. I wonder how Zhang Can wants to process it?

Zhang Can immediately handed the stone to the old man and said, "Old sir, I want to cut the stone open because the stone is small. I think it can be opened with your old tools, and there is no need for large tools to calcify!"

"Cut open?" The old man was stunned again. Could it be that the young man still thought that there was jade in the stone? He still cut it open, what's the use of cutting it? After thinking about it, he said, "How do you want to cut it? But... if you cut the stone, I have to charge 400 yuan for wages. What do you think?"

Zhang Can smiled and said, "I'll give you a thousand yuan, so I'll draw two lines. You can just cut them according to this line."

The old man was to cut this stone as big as a fist, not a calcite. If it was a calcite, the price was not low regardless of whether there was jade or not. If the jade was used to remove the top jade, the jade master would give him a considerable reward. However, if he cut it casually, he would only charge a few hundred yuan.

Of course, in the eyes of ordinary people, even if they charge 400 yuan, it would be a high price, but Zhang Can was even more generous and directly increased the price to 1,000 yuan. The old man was also stunned. It is rare for strange people like Zhang Can to do it!

Zhang Can didn't hesitate and immediately took out the money, counted ten hundred bills, handed them to the old man, and said, "Master, I'll borrow another pen from you and I'll use it."

The old man nodded and took a thick-headed pen from the pen holder made of a mineral water bottle cut in the first half of the glass counter, handed it to Zhang Can, and then watched Zhang Can's movements.

Zhang Can took the pen and saw the position of the jade inside the stone layer with a perspective eye. Then he drew a few lines at the edge of the jade. If he cuts it from these lines, he can see the jade layer with a thin slight without hurting the jade inside.

After drawing a few lines, Zhang Can handed the stone to the old man again, and said, "Master, just cut it according to this line."

The old man frowned, but did not take the stone, and stuffed another thousand yuan back into Zhang Can's hand, and said lightly: "Young man, you should take this money back. If you ask someone else to cut it for you, I won't cut it anymore!"

Zhang Can was stunned, wondering why the old man suddenly changed, and immediately asked, "Master, why is this?"

The old man said lightly: "There are rules for each line, young man, I look at the lines you draw. This is how to use jade wool materials. Since it is calculating, I also have my rules. I have to solve them according to my method, otherwise you will take them away, and I will not understand how much it costs!"

Only then did Zhang Can realize that the old man did not cut stones for him, but drew lines by himself, which made the old man feel that this was his skill that he did not trust, so he was annoyed and did not cut for him. He couldn't help but touch his head and smiled bitterly.

If the old man cut it by himself, even if the old man has good skills, he is not sure that he will not cut the jade inside at all. However, his ability to see through eyes is certain, but this is an impossible secret.

When I arrived at such a strange place in Beijing, I didn’t know where there was a place to calcify. Besides, Tianhuangshi is far different from the solution to jade wool materials.

The old man looked at Zhang Can's stunned holding the stone, and he could tell that the young man did not seem to be joking. He thought about it and said, "If you want me to cut the stone according to your method, that's fine, but I have a condition."

"What conditions?" Zhang Can heard that the old man had a turnaround again, and immediately asked. If he wanted to increase the money, it would be a small matter. In any case, the old man would not have to pay more than ten thousand yuan. The value of this Tianhuangshi must be more than one million. In fact, he didn't really know the value of this Tianhuangshi. If it exceeded one million, it was just a situation he could guess through.

The old man immediately stood up, then waved to Zhang Can and said, "Come in with me."

When he arrived at the store, Zhang Can saw the old man stop by the counter, and pointed to the many small pieces of wood on the counter shelf and said, "I am doing carving. My main skill is to carve seals. There are hundreds of small pieces of wood on this shelf, which are specially used for carving seals. I have also collected it from me for more than 40 years. I'll tell you, young man, among these hundreds of pieces of wood, as long as you can recognize the names of five pieces of wood, even if you pass my conditions, I will cut this stone for you!"

Zhang Can couldn't help but smile. Most of the small pieces of wood on this shelf have been cut for decades, and have no skin and no original color. It is difficult to recognize what tree it belongs to.

However, this is nothing to Zhang Can. The old man would never have imagined that Zhang Can has incredible perspective ability, and spiritual energy can analyze the year and type of matter as perspective. To distinguish the names of these woods, let alone recognize five of them, even if they all are recognized, that is a trivial matter.

The old man thought Zhang Can would definitely give up, but unexpectedly, Zhang Can nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, master, then I'll be ugly. Let me talk about a few names first, right?"

The old man also smiled. It seemed that this young man was not as dying as the Yellow River. At his age, it was naturally impossible to recognize his woods. The woods used for carving seals were all mixed woods, which belonged to a relatively hard type. Soft and loose woods could not be engraved.

Miscellaneous woods that can carve stamps are usually grown in the deep mountains, with fewer types and rarer types, and it is even more rare. Zhang Can has seen a lot of them, such as golden nanmu, mahogany, redwood, and so on. These are the most rare woods.

After looking at the small wooden blocks on the shelf, Zhang Can did not choose one, but took one from the beginning, touched it in his hand, and then said, "Master, this piece of wood has a fine texture and has been stored for a long time, smooth and a little heavy. Is this longan wood from the south?"

The old man was really stunned. He didn't expect that Zhang Can would say the first piece of wood accurately. He didn't know if it happened or really met. He was stunned and nodded, but he still had no explanation and let Zhang Can continue to say it.

Zhang Can put the longan wood back on the shelf, then picked up the second piece of wood and touched it again. In fact, his touching action was just pretending. After analyzing the perspective, the result was already revealed in his mind.

Next, Zhang Can said the small wooden blocks on the shelf as if they were familiar with them, making the old man stunned!

"This piece is ginkgo, this piece of pattern changes greatly, this piece is aquatic willow, this piece is boxwood, this piece is rosewood... This piece is camphor wood..."

After talking, Zhang Can did not skip the wood in it at all, but identified each piece next to each piece, and did not admit any mistakes in each piece. After talking, he almost talked about the small pieces on the shelf, and there were only a dozen or twenty pieces left!

The old man was stunned for a while, and seeing Zhang Can still talk, he immediately shook his hand and said, "Okay, okay, you don't need to say it anymore. This condition has passed. I'll cut the stone for you, but don't worry, I have something to tell you!"

"Okay!" Zhang Can stopped smiling. Of course, he was full of confidence in the names he just said.

The old man was also shocked. These small pieces of wood were obtained by him for decades. With a person who was so familiar with wood materials, if he had not obtained these woods by himself and wanted him to recognize so many small pieces, he would not have recognized them all. However, Zhang Can said it accurately without much effort. This made the old man feel incredible. After thinking about it, he felt that Zhang Can might be a child of a carpenter family. He faced wood for years and years, and was very likely to have the ability, but he always thought it was incredible.

The old man went to a table inside, took out the key from his waist and opened the lock on the table cabinet, and then took out two small pieces of wood. The two pieces of wood were smaller, only two or three centimeters thick, more than two inches long, and the color was a bit black. However, it can be seen that the two pieces of wood have different textures and are not the same variety.
