No matter what you fix in the future, you won't have to worry about the materials again?

That's too much promise, isn't it?

What if he wants to build a city, as he did in the Banmen world?

Of course, the chances of the world giving him such a chance are almost slim, but such a statement itself is a bit exaggerated.

Xu asked noncommittal, continued to look at the materials on Bailiqi's computer, and saw more details.

The fair is expected to be held on Banjiang Road in Pingzhen, with a focus on technology, including woodworking, as well as some unpopular subjects, and even cotton.

Its purpose is to popularize and inherit traditional culture, and to find a way out for those skills that are about to be lost, which coincides with the Cultural Transmission Society.

No, it can't be said to coincide, one of the organizers of these exhibitions is the Pingzhen Cultural Transmission Association, which is a local organization under the Wanyuan Cultural Communication Association.

In addition, the other two organizers are the town government of Pingzhen, and the other is the "Carrier Planning Co., Ltd.", which Xu Wen has never heard.

"Do you know about this shipping planning company?" he asked.

"Then you might as well ask me. Before Bai Liqi could speak, Luo Yifan walked in first and replied.

The carrier planning company is a unit of the imperial capital, which is a bit similar to the situation of Bailiqi, but it is backed by the Imperial Capital Cultural Relics Bureau and the Cultural Communication Association.

They try to find the connection between traditional skills and modern industry, and to perpetuate and promote them.

This fair is one of their usual methods.

"It's been held before, and how is the effect?" asked Xu Wen.

“...... Very poor. Luo Yifan shook his head and sighed.

In fact, every time this kind of trade fair is held, the effect is very good on the surface, the flow of people is large, there is a lot of publicity, and the popularity of Weibo and other networks is not low, and there are often some good follow-up heat, and the number of retweets or playbacks of a certain video is quite high.

And then, that's it.

Most people just watch the excitement and buy some interesting gadgets on the spot, and the real purpose, that is, the work of skill inheritance, is carried out very poorly.

No one cares about the old skills, and the new company leaves after seeing the excitement, at most two old craftsmen are recruited to the company as a gimmick or signboard, and then there are few who come to inquire.

"How can this be?" Xu Wen asked with a frown.

"There are many reasons for this, but one of the key factors is the poor compatibility between the two sides. The old technology cannot form a standard, and it is difficult to apply it to the new process. Occasionally, it is standardized, and it loses its inherent characteristics, which is very troublesome. There are also some skills, such as playing cotton, which is a feeling, and where can it be used now. Luo Yifan said very calmly, but his voice was still full of sighs.

"This Pingzhen exhibition is the most comprehensive and largest in the early stage of work over the years. If it doesn't work, I guess it won't be done next year. ”

"Hmm......" Xu Wen groaned and continued to look down.

Indeed, judging from the leaflets, the scale of this exhibition is also very large.

First of all, it not only requisitioned an entire Banjiang Road, but also opened a total of 15 ancient houses as exhibition and sales sites.

You must know that the entire Pingzhen is a cultural protection area, and all these ancient houses are state-level cultural relics protection units, which are usually visited and regularly maintained, and ordinary foreign profit-making activities are never requisitioned.

"Interesting...... "Just this, Xu Wen really wanted to go.

Many of these houses are famous, have a long history, and must have undergone a lot of restoration and maintenance.

Seeing what people do on the spot will definitely be good for him to repair Xu's house.

And the activity that Baili Qi said before is also related to these ancient houses, and it is the part that Xu Wen paid extra attention to.

When these ancient houses were built and later restored, a large number of traditional skills were applied, and according to legend, there are a total of 72 unique arts in Pingzhen, which are distributed in all corners of these ancient houses.

Some of these skills are still in use today, and some have been lost to the point where even the name is gone.

To this end, the fair held a special event called "Exploring the Ancients", in which the 72 masterpieces were searched for during the five days of the fair, and the person who found the most was awarded the grand prize, and the others who achieved a high degree of completion could also receive various awards of varying value.

Of course, the most attractive of them is this wave of awards, which is what Baili Qi called "no matter what you repair in the future, you don't have to worry about the materials".

In fact, if you want to say it, it is not as exaggerated as Baili Qi said, first of all, this "don't worry" does not mean that it is free, just don't worry about its source.

But that alone is already tempting.

A lot of the time, you can't buy materials even if you have money!

For example, Tall Tree is currently working on repairing the staircase leading to the second floor of the Four Seasons Hall.

This staircase is made entirely of teak.

Teak itself is a relatively rare material, and Xu Wen currently buys these through the relationship between the class.

But the stairs are not repaired, and others can't go upstairs, but Xu Wen knows.

Not only this section of staircase, but the entire second floor of the Four Seasons Hall is paved with teak floors!

There are also many places to repair this floor, and it is not easy to do what to do when the time comes, and where to get so much teak.

What's more, the Four Seasons Hall is built according to the ancient main house, and there are main houses and partial rooms on the second floor.

The floor of the main house is different, it is also teak, but it is a wooden heart!

Unlike the other parts, the teak heart is of better quality and also presents a very beautiful golden yellow color, which is pleasing to the eye even when it is old.

But it's good, it's more rare than other parts, and when the time comes, where to find the right enough teak wood heart is also a big problem, and it must be planned in advance.

One of the grand prizes of the "Ancient Exploration" activity of the Pingzhen Fair is to cooperate with ten companies in the Imperial City, Jiangnan and Haijiao to open warehouses, and the winners can choose any of the materials in the next three years and buy them at a 20% discount.

These ten companies are very strong, and three are state-run, and the resources they have and can mobilize are very terrible, with their support, Bailiqi's words are not an exaggeration.

Of course, rare wood is very expensive, even if it is very expensive with a 20% discount, but the more this is the case, the more people can feel that the two discounts saved are at what level.

When the campaign was introduced, photos of some of the old houses were posted on the flyer.

Xu Wen's gaze swept over, and on these photos alone, he saw seven different skills, all of which he knew, and all of them he could repeat at any time.

Seeing this, Xu asked to make a decision, and then he went to look at the list of participating units that had been announced so far, and the first thing was a familiar name - Kunjing.

Then he looked through the entire list, but he didn't see the name of Banmen.

Xu Wen thought for a moment, took out his mobile phone, and made a call.
