Daniel is a reporter from the city TV station. He has a smart mouth and a clever mind. He is called Niu Tiezui. On this day, he heard that there was a young man named Tugen in Dashan Village who would do a small root carving, so he took the camera crew to make a special trip to interview.
When Daniel came to Tugen’s house, he saw that the room was full of exquisite small root carvings. The Tugens were sitting at the table and fiddled with the thick roots of a tree intently. With joy, he hurriedly stepped forward with joy. Said: “Master Tugen, we are reporters from the “Into Life” column of the city TV station. Today we are interviewing you to make root carvings, because we are broadcasting live, I hope you can cooperate.”
When I heard that it was a TV station reporter, Tu Gen felt a little unhappy. His father planted five acres of watermelon on the river beach the year before, and the melon was washed away by the flood before it went on the market. However, in order to set a typical example, the TV station reported that his father was shocked. Net earned more than 20,000 yuan, but his father did not dare to go out for a long time. Today, when I saw the reporter come to play tricks again, Tugen pouted his mouth and said angrily: “Huh, you have to blow your sesame thing into a watermelon. I don’t care about yours.”
When Daniel heard this, he quickly explained: “Master Tugen, don’t worry, our program emphasizes the truth of life, you just do your job, I will introduce your root carving production process to the audience and friends!” At this time, the assistant reminded him that the time was up, and Daniel, regardless of whether Tugen agreed or not, asked the cameraman to turn on the camera and get up, holding the microphone, and eloquently explained: “Audience friends, this issue of “Enter In the column of “Life”, we will introduce you a small root carving artist from the depths of the mountain. His name is Tugen. The small root carving is a new variety of root art that has emerged in recent years. It is popular with people for its compact shape… “
   Although the live broadcast is a test for reporters, the nickname “Niu Tiezui” is not for nothing. Such a small scene is a piece of cake for Daniel. At this moment, he saw that Tugen was carefully cutting the roots of the tree in his hand with a chisel. He lost no time to cut into the topic and talked freely: “Now what everyone sees is the first blank of the root carving made by the master Tugen. Skilled and easy to use, you can see his extraordinary skills.”
   I don’t know. At this point, the soil root seemed to be against him intentionally. He threw the chisel, held the root of the tree in his hand and looked at it for a while, turned the root of the tree, and cut it with a small axe.
This little thing is naturally not difficult for Daniel. With a clever idea, he talks about it: “The key to the production of root carvings is to consider the subject according to the shape of the root. Master Tugen uses his keen tentacles and extraordinary aesthetics. Interest, I got creative inspiration from observation…”
   Before the words fell, the soil root dropped the axe casually, pinched the root of the tree, looked at it, and cut it with a hatchet.
When Daniel saw him, he immediately changed his conversation and said in a serious manner: “The knife is the main tool for root carving.’Cutting’ is the basic skill of root carving. It is also an important part of root carving. It should be said that after chiseling, chopping, and cutting. , The outline of the root carving is coming soonAppearing in front of us, what kind of shape does Master Tugen want to create? We will wait and see…”
   I don’t know, the roots in the hands of the soil roots are cut and thinner, and shorter and shorter, and a few times, a thick root of the tree has been cut into a square as thick as a thumb. Daniel was taken aback, and his hand holding the microphone trembled: What is this famous? Have you ever seen a square root carving?
However, Daniel is a famous mouth after all. He thinks a little bit and understands the words: “Root carving is a process of constant modification and improvement. Sometimes you are not satisfied with the established shape, and you have to reluctantly adjust the shape in the middle. Look, now the soil Master Root has cut the roots of the round tree into a square shape. The square shape should be said to be more masculine…”
   Daniel hadn’t finished speaking, but the roots in Tugen’s hands were cut into a round shape again. When Daniel saw it, he complained repeatedly, his throat was like a ball of glutinous rice, and he couldn’t speak incoherently.
Tugen didn’t care about it. He wielded the knife and continued to cut. The roots of the tree were cut smaller and smaller. After a while, there was not much left. He simply swung a planer, “pop, pop,” just a few times, and it all fell into pieces. .
   Daniu was stunned, his face was red and white, and he couldn’t say a word with his mouth flat.
   Dogen didn’t even look at him. He entered the house and brought a crock pot, put the sawdust on the floor into the crock, carried it and left.
