The two Loli are obviously rich and noble, but after they came out, they felt very curious about many things in the outside world, and they had never seen the world, so they always made some curious inquiries about Populus euphratica.

In fact, it's not that they haven't seen the world, it's just that they live in a different circle, and they haven't been to this kind of place, so it's full of freshness.

In this regard, Hu Yang and Andy did not really hate their voices. The voice is not unpleasant, like a lark, plus the appearance is there, it is annoying, after all, appearance is justice!

Even the gringo Corser, who can't understand what everyone says, likes these two lively Lori, and joins in the fun from time to time, using translation software to try to chat with everyone, hoping to blend in with everyone's chat.

"You two are also people who often watch Brother Hu's live broadcasts, and you know the rules of the antique market, don't touch it, be careful of being touched. Andy reminded them.

At this time, the footsteps of the poplar stopped.

On the left-hand side, there is a small shop with a small storefront, which attracts his attention. The store's signboard is marked with the words "Intangible Cultural Heritage".

So, Hu Yang led everyone in.

When they got inside, they found out that they were selling some woodware. Large items include tables, chairs, cabinets, etc., and small items include wooden bottles, small screens for furnishings, wooden combs, and so on.

Anyone who pays attention will notice that all the woodwork seems to have a pattern, and the pattern is exquisite.

In the store, there was only one middle-aged and elderly master, who didn't notice that a customer entered the door, and continued to do his work, very devoted.

"Brother Hu, these things are very special. ”

"What's so special?" asked Hu Yang.

"The patterns on the wooden products don't feel like they're painted. ”

Hu Yang praised: "Well, Andy, your observation power has risen recently. That's right, it's not painted, it's inlaid. This is one of the traditional handicrafts in Ningbo, called bone wood inlay, which is rare. ”

Bone wood inlay is a traditional craft made of ivory, boxwood, mahogany, rosewood, cow bone, luodian, copper sheet, wax stone, etc., which is inlaid after groove on the wooden blank, and then polished and carved and painted.

This kind of craftsmanship is mostly seen in furniture, screens, stationery and daily utensils, and has strong local characteristics.

Speaking of which, the origin of this handicraft can be said to have a long history, the earliest can be traced back to the Longshan cultural period, in the Yin Ruins of Anyang, Henan Province, on an inlaid coffin, you can find animal bones and luodian inlaid patterns.

After a long time, it finally absorbed the essence of the traditional and folk customs of Ningbo wood carving and inlay, and gradually formed a fixed style of bone wood inlay. This craft reached a prosperous period from Qianlong to Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty.

"Color is one of the most characteristic forms of bone wood inlay. It makes full use of the natural color of natural materials, without other decorative colors, forming a special decorative effect and strong black and white contrast of bone wood mosaic art.

Moreover, another artistic feature of bone wood inlay is the decorative nature of the image. The image of the picture shows a silhouette effect in black and white, which has a decorative character of folk characteristics. Hu Yang introduced.

Just when Hu Yang was popularizing traditional cultural knowledge to Andy and others, as well as the audience in the live broadcast room, the master in the store had stopped his work and looked at Hu Yang.

Obviously, I also heard those words of Populus euphratica.

It was surprising that this young man knew so much about their traditional craft. After listening to Hu Yang's words, he couldn't help but applaud.

"Young man, I know a lot about bone inlay! Alas, however, I am afraid that this craft will not last long. I ......"

Subsequently, the master introduced himself as Cao Yunjuan, who has been engaged in this craft for many generations. Now, even his own children and grandchildren are reluctant to pass on this craft, let alone others.

Today's young people are basically very impetuous, unable to endure this hardship, and unable to endure this loneliness.

Learning a craft is not an easy task. Regardless of any talent, two or three years, or even longer, is a must, and many people can't survive this time.

In addition, even if you learn it. It's not easy to complete a work.

For example, in order to complete a work, they have to draw the sketch, saw the bones, chisel the wood, inlay the wood, carve it in detail, etc., and there is no room for ambiguity in each process.

Moreover, some handicrafts are now completely unable to dry up due to the impact of machine-produced products.

Some of the things produced by machines, in the eyes of ordinary people, actually make no difference, but the price is much cheaper. In this case, their sales become a big problem.

Then, when the income is not proportional to the effort, it is even more difficult to attract young people, and the heir is a concern for everyone.

Master Cao complained to everyone for a while, only to realize that everyone was still standing, and hurriedly invited everyone to sit.

Hearing Master Cao's complaints, everyone couldn't help but think of the craftsmen that Brother Hu had met and who also encountered a similar situation. It seems that almost all traditional crafts have encountered the same problem, and they are all just surviving.

Populus euphratica picked up a delicate vase and used it to arrange flowers, inlaid with white shells, not bones.

This kind of bottle costs 500 yuan. To be honest, at this price, there is really no competition. In the eyes of many people, it is definitely expensive. Spend dozens of dollars to buy a porcelain, isn't it fragrant?

But even so, Master Cao has tried his best to reduce the price, to make such a product, the material is almost 100 yuan, and it takes two or three days to make it, that is to say, in two or three days, his labor cost is 400 yuan, less than 200 a day, which is simply worse than people moving bricks.

It is no wonder that today's young people have little interest in these crafts.

"Are you shooting reporters?" Master Cao couldn't help but ask.

He saw that in this group of people, there were handsome guys and beauties, as well as foreigners, and someone was responsible for filming, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, yes, it's filming, will it make a difference? But we're not journalists, we're broadcasting. Hu Yang hurriedly explained.

Master Cao waved his hand, but he was a little disappointed, he really hoped that a reporter would help report and publicize it, so that they could live a better life as traditional craftsmen.

"Don't get in the way, don't get in the way! Shoot it! There's nothing unpleasant. ”

"Hehe, Brother Hu, do you want to help the master bring the goods again?" Xiaoxiao Lori smiled.

This kind of thing is not the first time that Brother Hu has done it, and every time he encounters such a difficult craftsman, he will help. In her opinion, isn't this just live streaming?

Of course, Brother Hu's live broadcast is also a little different, he first paid for a batch and gave it to his fans, and then looked at the ability of other fans, if he liked it, he would help buy a little.

Master Cao was stunned, bring the goods?

Hu Yang listened to Xiaoxiao's words, but did not object, and said to the audience in the live broadcast room: "Everyone, whether you like it or not, I want to give this benefit." ”

Is this going to be a forced welfare?

The audience in the live broadcast room immediately laughed, this kind of thing, Brother Hu can do it.

In fact, as long as it's free, who will dislike it?

Those handicrafts look quite beautiful, classy, and handmade. If you pay for it yourself, you may have to think about it, but since it's free, you basically don't dislike it, right?

They knew that the benefits of today's live broadcast would definitely be indispensable.

"Master, how many of your small works are there? Forget about the large ones, it's not convenient to express them. Hu Yang asked.

Only then did Master Cao react and understand that this little brother was planning to buy all his small works. He was pleasantly surprised, and that was a lot!

"I'll see, you wait. ”

They are all works that no one has looked at for several years, and there are more than 100 pieces! This is when he meets a big customer and comes to help him clear his inventory.

To be honest, it's a pity to lose it after accumulating so much, but whether anyone wants it or not, he is a little afraid to get it. Some time ago, I was still thinking about stopping for a while, making orders later, and getting them according to the customer's requirements, so that there would not be so many goods left.

He quickly searched for it, and the kind of tables, stools, cabinets, etc., were all about it.

Others, such as vases, small photo frames, etc., are a bit practical, not just decorations. A total of more than 130 pieces were asked to be found, and the prices were not uniform, the expensive ones were thousands of yuan, and the cheap ones were dozens of yuan, such as wooden combs, inlaid with crystals.

Hu Yang held a lottery and then drew more than 100 spectators, as for who will receive what, there is no guarantee.

The lucky audience drawn, address, contact information, etc., will be unified and then screenshotted and passed to Master Cao, and sent out this work, and Hu Yang intends to leave it to Master Cao.

"Rest assured, rest assured! I promise that every piece of work will be delivered to everyone's hands, and the courier information will be checked and tracked in time. Master Cao assured Hu Yang.

Such a trivial matter, of course he would not refuse. He is already grateful that people have helped him clear so much inventory.

Now, he's finally experiencing the power of the web.

These more than 100 pieces cost Brother Hu nearly 100,000 yuan. Of course, in comparison, the benefits this time are more average.

In addition, the audience who did not draw, when they saw those works, were moved, and they were capable, they shot one after another. Soon, Master Cao's other stocks were swept away, and there were even some orders.

He was pleasantly surprised, and the remaining orders were enough for him to be busy for almost a month.

I am naturally very grateful to the group of poplars, and I finally understand that the "bringing goods" that the little girl said just now turned out to be bringing goods like this, which is simply terrible.

He didn't understand that now some celebrities are bringing goods live broadcasts, which are quite tough, and they are tens of millions, hundreds of millions at every turn.

In contrast, Populus euphratica is a petty fight.

If you want to keep Populus euphratica and others, you can invite everyone to dinner or something later, but Populus euphratica has other things to do, so they can only leave a contact information for later contact.

In the end, Master Cao thanked them for sending them out of the store.
