Seeing that Yuan Zhou was starting to use his knife, the onlookers on the street immediately quietened down. After all, they were all looking forward to seeing how Yuan Zhou was going to use his kitchen knife to carve such a huge block of ice.
There were even a few people who turned on their phones to record videos. After all, it was rare to see someone carve such a huge block of ice in real life. After all, this was not Ice City.
In Chengdu, where the weather was hot, there were very few ice sculptures.
For a moment, only the sound of the kitchen knife touching the ice could be heard. Ice chips flew around, and soon, a layer of ice was piled up on the ground.
Yuan Zhou controlled his strength precisely. The reason why it was difficult to carve a dragon was because of the dragon scales and dragon whiskers. To ice sculpture, these two areas were like using a cannon to kill a mosquito. He had the strength but could not use it.
Therefore, if one paid attention, they would notice that many dragon-shaped ice sculptures had very thick dragon whiskers. The dragon scales were also densely arranged without any sense of rhythm.
Once they were thick, they would not be in harmony with the proportion of the dragon head. As for the sense of rhythm of the dragon scales, take a snake as an example. For different forms such as coiling, intertwining, curling, flying, and so on, the direction of the scales was different. It was not a rigid arrangement. This was very dependent on eyesight and speed.
To put it bluntly, using the factory machine to carve dragon scales was much better than using the hands of most ice sculptors. However, in terms of subtlety, no matter what, the machine could not be compared to the hands.
The machine had no temperature.
If the dragon whiskers were too thin, it would be too easy to break when carving ice. Therefore, using thick dragon whiskers was a shortcut. However, Yuan Zhou did not intend to use shortcuts today.
As he spoke, Yuan Zhou used an angle to hold the kitchen knife in his hand. The knife point was very sharp. Yuan Zhou held his breath and moved the knife at a very fast speed. Because it was too fast, the tip of the knife drew a cold light in the air. This knife followed the elegant shape of the dragon whiskers.
Yuan Zhou maintained this state. His eyes were like torches, and he did not allow the slightest deviation in his position.
In the same short period of time, he swung the knife for the second time. The flashing cold light was like a butterfly flying through flowers. The position was very ingenious. It was as if the Big Dipper in the sky should be in its position. In any case, it was hard for the onlookers to believe that the two knives were swung at the same angle.
Dual Blade Dragon Whiskers, the peak of the strength path.
After the elegant dragon whiskers were completed, Yuan Zhou heaved a sigh of relief. However, he immediately tensed up. He still had to carve the dragon scales. Dragon scale carving was the most time-consuming and energy-consuming. Of course, even if the dragon scales were not completed, the ice sculpture had already taken shape. Two dragons, one in front and one in reverse, were fighting for the pearl.
"Wu, wu, wu, wu!"
Before the knife landed on the iceberg, the phone in his pocket rang. Yuan Zhou's phone was on vibrate when he was sculpting. Most importantly, no one usually called his phone.
Yuan Zhou ignored the first call, but after a few seconds of silence, more calls came in. Yuan Zhou looked at the dragon sculpture that was about to take shape, then looked at the saber in his hand, and spat out a mouthful of air.
As for the dragon scale carving, Yuan Zhou could not guarantee a 100% success rate. That was all for today. He sheathed his knife and answered the phone.
This action greatly disappointed the little friends who were watching from the side. He didn't finish carving.
"Although there are no dragon scales, just look at the dragon's head. It's so lifelike.
"I feel that Boss Yuan's knife skills have always been very good."
"Even if you give me two hands, I still can't do it."
"What a pity. I feel that it will be a work of art after it's finished. I wonder if Boss Yuan's ice sculpture is for sale. "
The customers were talking about it. Some even wanted to buy the ice sculpture. Yuan Zhou's ears were very sharp. He secretly accepted all the compliments, especially the five people who had talked to him previously. They felt the real skill (art).
Even if the sculpture wasn't finished, after the little friends who recorded the video posted it on Weibo, it still caused a lot of discussion. Of course, this was a story for another time.
What happened now was that the customers hurriedly closed the door when they saw Yuan Zhou answer the phone.
They directly ran to the end of the street to take a taxi. No one knew where they were going.
…
"I'm coming. I'm coming. Don't rush me." After hanging up the phone, Yuan Zhou ran towards the destination bitterly.
Fortunately, Yuan Zhou persisted in exercising every morning, so his body was very strong now. Otherwise, he would be exhausted to death.
But even Yuan Zhou was exhausted after seeing the signboard of "Datong Ice Room" described by Sun Ming. Sometimes, he really felt that Shaxian snacks occupied all the snack streets while Datong Ice Room occupied all the shopping malls. They were two dominating brands.
When Yuan Zhou came to the signboard of "Datong Ice Room", he looked around and saw Sun Ming who looked a little depressed. He patted his shoulder and then asked straightforwardly, "Sun Ming, what's the matter?"
"You're here? You're fast. Let me sort out my words. "Sun Ming just finished smoking a cigarette. He put out the cigarette butt and immediately lit another one.
Yuan Zhou accompanied him at the side and didn't say anything. He waited for Sun Ming to sort out his words.
This afternoon, when Yuan Zhou had just finished his ice sculpture and acted cool, Sun Ming called him and said that he had something to discuss with him.
With Sun Ming's funny character, he rarely talked to Yuan Zhou in such a serious tone. Therefore, Yuan Zhou immediately closed the door.
Then, Yuan Zhou finally arrived at the place Sun Ming told him to meet, but then he called again to change the place. Then he changed the place again halfway.
He went back and forth three times. Every time he arrived at the place, he would call again to change the place. As a friend for many years, Yuan Zhou knew one thing very well. Once Sun Ming was hesitant about something, he would lose control and walk around. Therefore, Yuan Zhou didn't mention that he had been stood up three times.
Sun Ming finished smoking a new cigarette and then said, "I'm going to transfer my store to practice cycling and bring back a round-island cycling champion."
It was indeed a big deal. After all, Sun Ming's family belonged to the middle class. Then, his parents gave him money to open his current clothing store.
Yuan Zhou calmed himself down and listened to Sun Ming continue.
"Wasn't I chasing after a goddess before? But there was still a long way to go before I succeeded. I think I should cater to her interest. "Sun Ming's emotions weren't as calm as he looked, so his words sounded messy.
"She's a cycling enthusiast and likes riding. She pays attention to the round-island cycling race and watches it on TV every time. So, I think it should be no problem if I win the championship." Perhaps Sun Ming was afraid that Yuan Zhou would oppose his idea, so he immediately added before Yuan Zhou could speak.
"I already have the foundation to ride a bicycle. You saw how we rode the shared bicycle previously. My skills are very good. So, I think it should be no problem if I learn it for half a year."
"What do you think?" Sun Ming looked at Yuan Zhou nervously.
"It's pretty good. Have you found another store?" Yuan Zhou thought for a while and answered.
Sun Ming was obviously relieved. He patted Yuan Zhou excitedly and said, "I knew you would definitely support me. Pi, do you know that you are the first person to support my idea? When I told them, they all said that I was fantasizing or crazy."
