After getting the ticket to the Chicago Knife Show, Chu Yan walked into the bathroom and made a detailed plan for what he needed to do recently during the shower until he finally fell asleep on the big bed in the bedroom with a refreshed look.

The next morning, Chu Yan came to the Antiques City as soon as possible. The first thing he made when he was taking a shower yesterday was to get the carved order first, then go to Murong Wanruo's father to collect debts, and then accompany Linghu Lan to Beidu City to participate in that underwear show to serve as a guest.

During that period, he had three things to do. First, go to Good Art School and meet Yun Siwu. Although it does not require positive contact, it is necessary to understand it from the side. This is Chu Yan's promise to his dead brother.

Second, I want to take a look at Xiao Zihan. Although this talented surgical scalpel has brilliant achievements in the field of medicine, it is really not very good at human relationships and worldly affairs. He wants to know how she has been recently.

The third thing is to go and talk to Xiao Zijing, because what Murong Wanruo said before, Xiao Zijing may have important clues about the source of the angel dream.

After doing these things, Chu Yan will completely retreat, cut off any contact with the outside world, and concentrate on completing his work in the studio where he is going to attend the Chicago sword show!

Having a clear idea in my heart, Chu Yan needed to do it was to complete him step by step. The first thing was naturally to get the order of the customer of some unknown origin first, and let's talk about the others later.

Everything is carved. On the second floor, Chu Yan and Su Yinan stood in the carving room. Chu Yan was holding a narrow and long diamond-shaped carving knife in his hand. This was specially made by Chu Yan through some special channels. In addition, he also gave the knife a name called Lingbian!

"Prepare to start, watch carefully, don't ask, keep quiet." In the sculpture room, Chu Yan had already held the long narrow stone in his hand, and the water mill was ready. Su Yinan nodded, put on the goggles, and took out his mobile phone to prepare for the production process of Chu Yan.

Grinding is a very boring thing, but this boredom also contains extremely high technical content. The narrow stone gradually faded its rough skin under the polishing of water and turned into a shape like a fish body.

Su Yinan's phone stopped after shooting the entire polishing process. It was not because the phone was out of power, but because she had no time to take pictures. Chu Yan's subsequent carving process really made her unable to distract her. Her big watery eyes stared at Chu Yan's hands!

Holding the stone in the left hand and the knife in the right hand, the sharp feet of the diamond blade can break the stone. The only thing to note is to ensure the density of the spraying of h2o9-s softening liquid, and do not let the frequency of corrosion and softening exceed the speed of the blade carving, otherwise it will affect the perfection of the work.

Slow! Very slowly, Chu Yan's joints were slightly white in his hands. This was because in addition to maintaining the strength and lines of the blade, he also had to spend a lot of energy to control the marks on the surface of the stone. Although the carving was initially completed, it required fine polishing afterwards, Chu Yan liked to do things simpler, but behind these simplicity, there was a very high price to pay.

Four hours passed in a flash. When the diamond blade in Chu Yan's hand flashed, Su Yinan found that he had taken a long breath as if he had not breathed for a long time. His chest was slightly undulating, but his eyes could no longer leave the stone dagger that had been carved!

The dark blue stone dagger lay quietly on the sculpture platform. Although the carving marks of the hard lines were obvious, they did not look ugly at all. In excitement, Su Yinan pulled the spotlight magnifying glass that had passed one side, gently held the stone dagger in his hand and placed it directly under the magnifying glass, observing it carefully.

"This is... a fish intestine dagger!! Brother Chu, this dagger seems to be the most famous dagger in the Spring and Autumn Period. It is less than half a foot long enough to be put into any fish belly served on the dining table." Su Yinan looked at the short dagger under the magnifying glass, and a blurry fragment suddenly flashed in his mind. It was a picture he saw when he was flipping through the cultural relics album. The picture shows a fish intestine dagger unearthed three years ago. The shape, size and even color are almost the same as the stone dagger made by Chu Yan in front of him.

"It's less than ten centimeters. I remember that most of the sizes in the Spring and Autumn Period were taken from the Zhou Dynasty's conversion system. 1 zhang = 10 feet, 1 ft = 10 inches, 1 inch = 10 minutes, 1 ft = 19.9 cm. According to historical records, the fish intestine dagger is less than half a foot, and it's converted to 1.99 cm per inch, which is 9.95 cm!" Chu Yan himself is a top sword master, and he has heard of the famous fish intestine dagger in history. Before, Chu Yan looked at the drawings and thought that this dagger was a bit strange, as if it was a drawing of the frame structure, so he couldn't see it for a while. Now when the semi-finished product appeared, he realized that this seemed to be similar to the legendary fish intestine dagger!

"Looking at the strange appearance of that man, he can't be a cultural relics dealer, right? No wonder he is so mysterious!" Su Yinan's guess made Chu Yan quite agree in his heart. "What do you care about him? It has nothing to do with us whether he is a cultural relics dealer. Okay, I have to go out and I will leave it here to you."

Su Yinan nodded, looking at Chu Yan who had already changed into casual clothes, opened his mouth but said nothing, just watching Chu Yan open the door of the sculpture room, "The work has not been completed, I will leave it to you for the fine polishing. I believe you can handle it, right?" After Chu Yan said that, he reached out and took out a cigarette from his jeans pocket and lit it and held it in his mouth, turned around and walked downstairs.

"I can do it!" Although Su Yinan's thoughts were mostly on the stone dagger, the cigarette Chu Yan lit made her nose slightly shook, and the deep confusion in her eyes emerged again.

Su Yinan looked at the back of the sculpture room, and the dimples on her mouth appeared sweetly. After a moment, her attention returned to the stone dagger again.

Chu Yan left the sculpture room and came downstairs. He took out a can of beer from the refrigerator on one side, sat on the sofa in the reception area and turned on the music and started drinking.

Drinking beer, the figure of that man appeared in Chu Yan's mind again. The almost iconic movements and rhythm forced Chu Yan to wonder why the group of guys came here. Chu Yan knew very well that those people had always been guys who had no profit and had no early gains, and they must have a clear purpose when they came here.

Chu Yan didn't understand what was going on for a while, so he just left him behind for the moment. He had more important things to do, so as long as he didn't come to ask for trouble on his own initiative, he would ignore him.

"Su Yinan, I'll go out for dinner. What do you eat? I'll bring it back to you." The boss Chu Yan made a very humane job. He couldn't starve the employees' stomachs when eating by himself.

"A Seven Shrimp Fort, a cup of mashed potatoes and a cup of chicken and corn, and a cup of coffee." Su Yinan had been waiting for Chu Yan's words for a long time, and he had almost no thought about it and said his lunch. Looking at Chu Yan's face with a faint smile, the dimples beside Su Yinan's mouth appeared lightly.

About an hour later, Chu Yan's figure returned to the omnipotent sculpture. Downstairs, Fan Xianghan and Wang Lan were preparing to get off work to eat. Su Yinan was still working in the sculpture room upstairs. The fine polishing had just been carried out one-third. On the sculpture table, there were several books about fine polishing, and Su Yinan's laptop computer was also placed. The picture on the computer was opened was a fine polishing video tutorial. At the same time, a web page was minimized below the window.

Obviously, it was the first time that Su Yinan did fine grinding of stone carvings, and he had to check a lot of information. Although he had already remembered the polishing skills clearly, he was always a little nervous to actually operate it immediately. Fortunately, the polishing of stone daggers requires some soft materials, so there is no need to worry about major mistakes.

"Brother Chu, are you back?" Seeing Chu Yan coming back, Su Yinan's nervous heart suddenly relaxed, and the movements on her hands became smooth and fast, which was completely different from before.
Chapter completed!
