Chapter 024, Introduction to Bamboo Tools
Ye Ziqi was very emotional when he heard it, for an old man in his seventies like his grandfather, he only rushed to the scene once every three days, and he was very satisfied with being able to sell dozens of bamboo utensils for dozens of yuan each time.
Suddenly, his heart moved, took out the live broadcast equipment, set it up next to it, and at the same time secretly turned on the panoramic camera and started the live broadcast.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what you see today is not a live broadcast of picking loquat and selling loquat. Today, I took my nephew Junjie to visit my grandfather.
My grandfather is over 70 years old, but he is still in good health, and he currently lives alone at the foot of a hill in his hometown called Lion Rock.
However, now my grandfather is in a hurry in our white market town, and he is still selling his own bamboo furniture, which is what you see.
Come, let's see, this weathered old man is my most beloved grandfather, he is a bamboo craftsman, engaged in the bamboo business for more than 60 years.
Let's look at these bamboo tools, they are all essential living utensils for every household in the countryside, let's see how many you know? Can you name them?
That's right, this is a basket, many people know it, the countryside is used to carry things, and it is also the most widely used bamboo tool, how many of us have ever carried it?
And the basket should be divided into different sizes, and the children in the countryside also have a special small basket, and they have to help the family harvest grain when they are busy with farming.
When you see the rural people rushing to the scene, many people will carry different back baskets, so that you can free your hands, look at these back baskets, there are big holes, fine holes, rough and delicate.
There is also this one, called Luo Ji, which is used to pick things, and the corn, rice and wheat of every household in the countryside are basically picked home by Luo Ji.
You may not know that there are a lot of things in this kind of Luo Ji, and if it is full, there are at least one or two hundred catties in two Luo Ji, but many strong laborers can directly pick up how far they go.
But my body may not be able to pick up such heavy things, but for people with little strength, there is also a bamboo tool that can also be used to pick.
Everyone, this is it, does anyone know its name? By the way, this friend who is homesick immediately recognized it, this is the basket.
Do you see the ropes on both sides of the basket? When they are folded together, they are also used to pick things, but they are less picked, and ordinary women in the countryside can afford to pick them.
In addition, there are these bamboo utensils, which are called dustpans, which are used to dry things, such as soybeans, chili peppers, dried tofu and glutinous rice ball powder.
When we were young, we would take it to the bamboo forest after school at noon to pick bamboo leaves, and then carry it home with a basket to make firewood.
In addition, the bamboo chop also has a function, that is, when drying rice, corn, and wheat at home, it should be used to turn and dry, so that the bamboo grill can make the bottom turn to the top to bask in the sun.
There are also bamboo baskets, bamboo baskets, bamboo cages, baskets, burning baskets, and fire cages. Finally, I would like to highlight this fire cage, which is a bamboo appliance used by many rural people to heat themselves in winter.
Look, there is also a porcelain basin in this fire cage, which is used to hold charcoal, and then everyone holds it like this, or puts it at their feet, you can keep warm, and it can also be used to bake socks and other small objects. ”
Ye Ziqi introduced these bamboo tools to everyone one by one, and the number of people in the live broadcast room continued to increase, some people who went out from the countryside sighed, and those who have been living in the city were curious.
"When I saw these bamboo tools, I remembered the days when I was a child at home, and I really miss it. Someone left a message.
"Yes, when I was a child, on rainy days, we would carry fish cages to the ditches in the fields to touch fish, catch loaches and yellow eels, although the life at that time was not rich, but it was more fun. ”
"Thanks to the anchor for bringing us back to our childhood again, rural people born in the 70s should have deep memories, I have used all these bamboo tools. ”
"Yes, at that time, most of the tools in the countryside were made of bamboo, and every household had more than ten kinds of bamboo tools, and even the fans we used in summer were made of bamboo. ”
It can be seen that the anchor also loved labor when he was a child, and he was very familiar with all kinds of bamboo tools, so I would like to give you a thumbs up. ”
With a large number of viewers from the countryside to the city and the messages and likes from rural audiences, the live broadcast room suddenly became lively, and the barrage almost covered the entire screen.
"Anchor, how are these bamboo weaves made? We've never seen them before, so I'm wondering. ”
"Yes, anchor, your grandfather is so old, he can still weave these bamboo tools, can you see how he weaves them?"
"That's right, please find a way to live broadcast the process of weaving bamboo tools, so that the children at home can watch it, so that they don't grow up in the city and don't know everything in the countryside. ”
"We also came out of the countryside and know these things very well, but the next generation doesn't know about it, and we saw it when we went back to our hometown, but we didn't know any of them. ”
"Anchor, bamboo weaving craft is also a traditional craft, now only in a few places in the countryside is still preserved, a large number of metal and plastic appliances have replaced the traditional bamboo tools, but we from the emotional and environmental health point of view, or feel that bamboo is more cordial. ”
Seeing everyone's message, Ye Ziqi's heart moved, although bamboo is just a traditional handicraft, and it is only the most widely used tool in rural areas, but it also has the value of letting everyone understand.
Anyway, it will take more than ten days for the company to open, so it is better to learn bamboo weaving skills with my grandfather during this time, and conceive and complete a series of works while live broadcasting.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have seen everyone's messages, and I understand some of your wishes, here I solemnly decided that I will follow my grandfather to learn traditional bamboo weaving skills for a period of time, and strive to learn to weave all kinds of bamboo tools.
I will broadcast live every day, and at the end I will make a series of works, please follow my several new media accounts, and you can find it by directly exploring the gold medal endorsement, thank you for your encouragement and support.
Next, we interviewed my grandfather, because I found that compared with the bamboo tools made by the bamboo craftsmen around me, my grandfather's craftsmanship seems to be more refined, and the bamboo tools made are more exquisite and detailed.
Grandpa, is it difficult to learn the craft of bamboo weaving? If I learn from you, can I learn it?" Ye Ziqi interacted with the audience again, and ran to his grandfather's side, pointing the camera at his grandfather.
"Third child, is this a camera?" asked his grandfather Li Guangzheng curiously.
"Grandpa, I'm live broadcasting, and many people can see your bamboo tools through this lens, and they can also see you, and they are all very curious, wondering if it's difficult to weave this?" Ye Ziqi asked.
