"Hello everyone, I'm here!"
After taking a nap, Xia Jie woke up and summoned the drone in high spirits. He then opened the livestream room.
Seeing that Hunter Jie was online, the live stream room soon gathered a lot of viewers.
"Damn, streamer, you're so willful. You've disappeared for a few days!”
"Jie, I'm not criticizing you, but your attitude is wrong. How can you be a good streamer like this?”
"Streamer, what have you been eating these past few days? Why don't you show us? Did you eat a protected animal?”
"Tell me honestly, did you go to find a partner?”
Xia Jie couldn't help but laugh when he saw how enthusiastic the audience was.
"Hey, I recorded a video of making a Luban stool for Grandpa these few days. Because the recording time was too long, it wasn't broadcast live.”
"If everyone is interested, you can search for 'Grandpa Xiamu' on Pumpkin Video. It was uploaded at noon, so you should be able to see it.”
"Yo, young man, you're not bad. Not only did you do a live broadcast, but you even got the old man to come along. Speaking of which, what's a Luban stool? Is it Little Luban's new equipment?”
"It's scary to be uncultured. The Luban stool must be a stool made by Luban. However, what's the point of recording a stool?”
"I've heard of this Luban stool. It's quite difficult to make and requires a lot of skill.”
"Looks like the old master has some skills. I'll go and take a look now!”
"Dali Jie, I'm only concerned about what you're going to do now. Are you going to jungle or dig for treasures?”
"That's right. I came for the White Lady back then. Why can't I see her?”
These thousands of fans were really not joking. The comments in the live broadcast room came one after another, and it was very lively.
"Haha, I won't be jungling today, nor digging for treasures. Didn't I dig up a tree root a few days ago? The tools just happened to arrive, so I'm going to start sculpting today.”
"Yo, streamer, are you being arrogant? I admit that you built a shed and said you know carpentry, but you actually want to do root carving when you're digging up tree roots?”
"This root carving and carpentry are two different things. Dali Jie, are you sure you're not teasing us?”
"Streamer, don't brag to everyone. You'll lose your fans!”
"Brother Jie, I believe you. You've done what you said. You can definitely do it this time!”
"Streamer, don't listen to them. Just slap the face with the truth!”
"Alright, let's begin!"
Xia Jie did not waste any more time and directly carried the peeled root material out of the shed, which immediately shocked many newcomers in the livestream.
It seemed that there were only wrong names, not wrong nicknames.
Dali Jie, he lived up to his reputation!
After circling around the root a few times, Xia Jie's brows furrowed and then relaxed.
As the saying went," 30% artificial, 70% natural." The quality of the finished root carving depended on whether it could make use of the natural posture of the root material.
As he looked at it from different angles, several different finished products appeared in his mind.
"Hmm, carving a stool is a little wasteful. Why don't we just carve that one!”
After thinking for a moment, Xia Jie made up his mind. He picked up the axe and began to attack.
Pa!
Pa! Pa! Pa!
With a few swings of the axe, a few thick roots that affected the appearance were easily cut off.
Then, he used a saw to deal with some minor details.
The seemingly ordinary root material now had a preliminary outline.
Of course, the layman was watching the show, while the expert was watching the tricks.
The viewers in the live broadcast room did not know much about root carving. They only felt that Xia Jie's axe in the east and saw in the west was really something.
"Host, what are you going to carve?”
"In my opinion, it should be a tiger.”
"What eyes? I think it's a Bodhisattva!”
"No, no, I think it should be a great roc spreading its wings!”
While everyone was discussing, Xia Jie had already picked up his carving knife and chisel and started carving on the tree roots.
In the beginning, he was more cautious when he attacked, but as he carved, the many techniques in his mind became his experience.
It could be said that the depth was appropriate and he was at ease.
A few hours passed without him realizing it, and the root material had basically taken shape under Xia Jie's sculpting.
Layers of clouds stacked on top of each other, and an azure dragon was half-hidden and half-visible. Its aura was extraordinary.
"Alright, there's no need to guess. I can tell at a glance that this is a dragon!”
"Nonsense, you don't have to say it. Everyone knows.”
"To be honest, the streamer's craftsmanship is not bad. The carving is quite similar!”
"This root carving looks quite simple. It feels almost like painting!”
"Simple? What kind of joke was this? It was not difficult for those who knew it, but it was difficult for those who did not! Go and try it yourself, and you will know the difficulty!”
Xia Jie put down the carving knife and looked at the semi-finished product in front of him. He nodded in satisfaction.
" Alright, the prototype of 'Flying Dragon in the Sky' is finally out. We still need to polish and wax it further. Let's have a meal first and continue in the afternoon.”
Xia Jie put down his tools and picked up his phone to take a look.
Eh, there were seven or eight missed calls.
It was an unknown number from Shanghai.
Who could it be?
Just as he was feeling puzzled, the call came again.
"Hello, who is it?"
"Hello, hello. Are you Grandpa Xiamu's video author, Mr. Xia Jiexia?”
On the other end of the phone, Ma Dakang was a little excited. It wasn't easy, but he finally got through.
"Uh, it's me. You are?"
" Oh, I'm Ma Dakang, the operations manager of Pumpkin Video. You posted a video of making a Luban stool on our platform today, right?"
"Yes, why?"
Xia Jie felt a little strange. Was this against the rules?
"It's like this. The response from the audience of your video is very good, so we would like to invite you to be the resident author of our Pumpkin Video. Are you interested?”
Seeing that the number of views in front of him had already exceeded 300,000, Ma Dakang was even more determined in his judgment.
"This…"
Ma Dakang seemed to have heard the other party's hesitation and quickly added,""Mr. Xia, if you become our resident author, Pumpkin Video will package and promote you in all aspects. It's a win-win cooperation!”
"If you don't know, it's convenient to add you on WeChat. I can send you the details!”
"Alright, my WeChat is my phone number. Add me!”
Xia Jie smiled.
It was originally an unintentional move, but he did not expect it to become popular!
At this moment, many viewers in the live broadcast room watched the video and were also amazed.
"Whoa, streamer, your grandfather's carpentry is awesome!”
"There's nothing to say. Lu Ban has been reborn!”
"Divine skill, it's simply a divine skill!"
"I'm a craft enthusiast. Streamer, can you give me an extended version? I want to learn!”
"Host, are you selling that Luban stool? I want to buy one!”
