Chapter 203: An old street shop for bamboo tube eggs
"Isn't it pretty, you can just keep what I gave it. Li Feng said with a smile.
Zhang Jiajia's face flushed slightly. "Are you really sending me?"
"Yes, and fake. ”
Zhang Jiajia gritted her teeth and her face turned even redder. "Then I'll take it. ”
Li Feng was a little puzzled, so serious.
"You have to remember what you say. Zhang Jiajia carefully sorted out the silver jewelry, but Li Feng was a little confused by the second monk.
"Kaede, quick, there's something interesting here. ”
"Interesting?" Li Feng shouted as he listened to Guo Zheng. "Jiajia, let's go over and take a look. ”
It's funny, it's really interesting, and it's better to say it's a small stall in front of it, and it's a small fire with four or five bamboos standing in the fire. "This is grilled bamboo rice?"
"No, Fengzi, this plum egg. ”
Guo Zheng said with a smug face. "I just saw these little ones stuff eggs into bamboo tubes, tie them with leaves, and smear them with mud. ”
"There's still water in the bamboo tube, right?"
"That's right. ”
"Is this a boiled egg?"
It's the first time the audience in the live broadcast room has seen such boiled eggs, which is interesting.
"Buy some maple and try it"
"How much does a child cost? ”
"A bucket of five, five dollars, and the bucket will be given to you too. "Looking at the stall, it is three brothers and sisters, the eldest is twelve or thirteen years old, and the two younger ones are less than ten years old.
"Okay, two buckets. Guo Zheng smiled and took out the money and handed it to the little guy.
The eggs are boiled for a short time, not to mention the eggs boiled in the bamboo tube, they are very fragrant, and they seem to have other seasonings added.
"It's delicious, there's a fragrance, I don't know if it's bamboo, or the seasoning here, the taste is good, and everyone has a chance to try it"
"There's a silver workshop next to Fengzi, why don't you go and see it. ”
Most of the silver jewelry workshops in Miao Village are in the village, there are one or two silver jewelry workshops in three or two villages, these workshops are passed down from father to son, and almost all the silver jewelry in the village in the past are purchased in this kind of village workshop.
Now with the Miao family's contact with the outside, some people gradually began to buy silver jewelry in the outside workshop, after all, most of the inheritance is old-fashioned. "Let's go. ”
"There's a lot of silver jewelry here. ”
"That is, it's definitely more on the street. ”
There are really a lot of shops, usually the workshop sells silver jewelry is made first, usually do a batch and then do the next batch, I didn't expect this shop, there are so many finished products, headdress, chest and neck ornaments, hand ornaments, clothing ornaments, waist ornaments and rare back ornaments and foot ornaments.
"What is this for?"
Everyone came in and found that there were still customers in the shop, and they were scrubbing something. "What is Kaedeko doing?"
"Silverwashing. ”
To say, Li Feng has some basic knowledge of silver jewelry in his mind, but it is the first time he has seen it. Miao girls like silver jewelry is well known, the reason is nothing more than love its whiteness, cherish its flawlessness.
Relatively except for some antique style old silver jewelry, the silver jewelry generally worn likes to be white and flawless, which makes the Miao family's silversmiths not only good at silver processing, but also need to have a good hand in washing silver.
"Washing silver, how to wash it, is it the same as washing clothes?"
"It's a lot more complicated than doing laundry. ”
Li Feng said with a smile. "The first step in washing silver is to coat the silver jewelry with borax water, borax you can check on the Internet, this thing is also toxic, so it is generally why not wash silver at home, improper operation is very likely to have an accident, smear borax water and then use charcoal fire to burn off the oxide layer of silver. ”
"Now these silver ornaments boiled in the copper pot are removed from the oxide layer, and the water used to cook the silver ornaments is also very particular, it is alum water, which can be cleaned with water after boiling, and of course some corners are also cleaned with special brushes, so that the silver ornaments can be as bright as new. Li Feng introduced to the audience in the live broadcast room and Guo Zheng and others.
"Fengzi is okay, I know a lot. ”
"Are you really planning to build your own Monkey King Silver Outfit?"
"The lad is quite knowledgeable. The fifty or sixty-year-old man in the store said with a smile. "Someone in the young man's family is doing this?"
"No, it's a hobby. ”
Li Feng said with a smile. "Learned a little. ”
"Really?"
The old man smiled. "Little girl, is it silver laundering?"
When the old man saw Zhang Jiajia, he was carrying a small package and washing silver. "No, we're just coming to see. ”
"Hey, this set of silver jewelry is the craftsmanship of the old oligarch of Longkou Village, right?" the old man glanced at Zhang Jiajia's silver hat, a little surprised.
"This old oligarch has also learned to innovate, yes, yes. ”
"Do you know this master?"
"This silversmith master, who doesn't know anyone. The old man sighed. "Now there are not many real silversmiths, and even fewer good craftsmen, and this old oligarch counts as one. ”
"Your craftsmanship isn't bad. ”
The old man smiled smugly. "It's not the old man I'm talking big, the craftsmanship of these ten miles and eight towns, the only thing that can make me look at the old oligarch Longkou is it. ”
"This old man is quite powerful. ”
"That's a glance at the ability, you don't think you have a bit of a martial arts master's style. ”
"How much does the little girl get for this set of silver jewelry. ”
"Twenty-two. Tang Yitong hurriedly said.
"Twenty-two, hahaha, this old oligarch hasn't come out for a long time. ”
"What do you mean?"
"yes, it's expensive. ”
"It seems to have been earned. ”
Li Feng still heard some meaning, and the market price of this set of silver jewelry is now more than 25,000 and close to 30,000. In fact, the price of silver jewelry in the Miao family has not been too expensive, you must know that the Miao family has the status of the craftsman can apply to the state to buy low-cost silver.
This is how many years there is a national policy, every year the state will sell a batch of low-priced silver to the Miao family for its production of silver jewelry, which is a kind of protection of the national cultural heritage. "Wow, you've made a lot of money, sister, you have a treat when you go back to the county. ”
The old oligarch is counted as one of them, and the old man in front of him, He Xiao, is counted as one, and there is a certain amount of low-priced silver for him to make silver jewelry every year. "Little girl, I advise you to keep it, the old oligarch's craftsmanship is rare now. ”
"That's what you're talking about. ”
Li Feng said with a smile. "Old man, I see that other silver jewelry workshops don't have so many finished products, why do you have them here?"
"Hahaha. ”
This is to scratch the old man's itchy nest, speaking of which the old man is famous in the entire Xiangxi silver jewelry craftsman. "These silver ornaments are left by other people. ”
"Huh?"
This is really unexpected, someone else's, how is this possible, these silver jewelry are worth a lot of money. "Boy, why don't you believe it?"
"No, just a little curious. "Don't talk about Li Feng, the others are also curious.
The old man smiled and didn't speak, but a few people on the side who washed the silver explained the reason. "Silversmith and competition?"
"In the past, there were often disputes in the three mountains and five villages, bullfighting, and silver was once all the rage. ”
"These silver ornaments were all won by Master He Xiao. ”
"No wonder. ”
"Fengzi, this master He Xiao looks very powerful, why don't you ask him if he accepts apprentices. ”
"That's right, if Fengzi learns from this master, maybe he can really get started quickly and create a Monkey King suit. ”
The words of the audience in the live broadcast room made Li Feng's heart hot, isn't this the master he is looking for. "The old gentleman's craftsmanship is so exquisite, it is admirable. ”
"Don't pat yourself on the back, boy, I see that you have something, you have something to say, the old man is still busy. The old man He Xiao replied lightly.
As soon as Li Fengmu said, the old man waved his hand. "It can't be. ”
"Why?"
Not only Li Feng, but Guo Zheng was also full of doubts.
Zhang Jiajia pulled Li Feng. "Skills are not passed on to outsiders. ”
"No, that's not the rule many years ago. "Li Feng knows this, in the past, the skills of silversmiths were mostly passed from father to son, son to grandson, and from generation to generation.
After all, this old man opened a shop on the street, so he thought it was different from an ordinary family workshop.
Li Feng glanced at the smelted silver on the side and walked over. "I can try, maybe the old gentleman will change his mind after seeing my craft. "To say that Li Feng really has some foundation, basic kung fu of silver jewelry, Li Feng is not afraid of tests.
He Xiao really didn't expect Li Feng to make such a request. "It's kind of interesting, if you want to try it, say it first, if it is done, everything is easy to say, if it ruins my silver." ”
"I double the compensation. ”
"Sister, is there something wrong with this guy? Tang Yitong felt that Li Feng's brain was hot, and he did things without considering the consequences, shouting that learning to make silver jewelry was speechless enough, and he wanted to do it, and he listened to the tone and taught himself, just kidding, this can be learned by himself.
"That's good. ”
The old man took out the flakes and silver threads that he had made. "Two thousand. ”
Li Feng took over the weighing, 2,000 yuan is not much, and said that the production of silver jewelry is nothing more than pressing, few, carving, hugging and other processes, the basic skills Li Feng still understands, as for the carving skills have micro carving and nuclear carving skills as the foundation, and he is not afraid.
Of course, silver jewelry is not as simple as said, Li Feng did not use complicated thoughts, one is time and the other is limited by craftsmanship, Li Feng chooses relatively simple jewelry, trinkets. Li Feng used hammers and nails to make small lines with a lot of effort.
This surprised the old man He Xiao very much, his craftsmanship was no worse than his grandson, which surprised him, and even more surprising that Li Feng had some extraordinary feelings for small handling. "Miniature carving?"
"The kid can carve?"
"A little. ”
Li Feng said with a smile.
"Fengzi will be miniature carved, is it really fake?"
"Is a miniature sculpture a nuclear carving?"
Zhang Jiajia smiled, Li Feng's nuclear carving can be sold for 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, which shows that the craftsmanship is very exquisite.
"Is this guy really good at it?"
Tang Yitong was really surprised at this time, Zhang Ya and Zhang Sisi were also shocked, silver craftsmen still have a lot of status in the Miao family.
"Alright. ”
He Xiao waved his hand. "Let's go, I don't accept apprentices here, if you really have the heart to learn, you can go to Longkou Village to try, the old oligarch has no descendants to inherit, if it is broken, it is a pity. ”
Li Feng sighed, sure enough, it is still a matter of inheritance, I think that the old man He Xiao already has a successor. "It's a pity. Li Feng walked out of the store, and the old man He Xiao looked at the small ornaments in his hand, although they were not finished, they were a little exquisite.
"Put this thing away, and give it to a few boys in the family to take a good look at. ”
The middle-aged man smiled bitterly, who is this kid, he actually has a lot of skills in using miniature carving to silver jewelry, but he told Abba, a few boys in the family have been a little proud recently.
"Fengzi, you really plan to go to Longkou Village. ”
Out of the store, Guo Zheng asked in a low voice.
Li Feng smiled. "Let's talk about this again, Jiajia, it's not early, let's go back, don't be late. ”
"Yes, Kaede, you're here to celebrate your birthday. Guo Zheng said with a smile. "Alright, we'll go back. ”
"Let's do it together. ”
Zhang Jiajia stopped, after all, it was Li Feng's friend and he came over, and besides, the Miao family was the most enthusiastic, and the birthday banquet was the same. "Listen to Jiajia, where is the car parked?"
"On the side. ”
Marry gestured to a car parked not far away.
"The car?"
Tang Yitong was stunned for a moment.
