By the way, Huang Youyang is also a very shrewd businessman.

The "Contemporary Youth Art Salon" he set up in Longxi Village was also on the right track, and with the help of Zhou Heng's favorable wind, he successfully held an art exhibition.

Because the publicity and operation are in place, this art salon can be regarded as gaining initial popularity and laying a certain foundation.

Huang Youyang's original investment in Longxi Village obviously had his business considerations, and it turned out that it was indeed quite successful.

This is beneficial and harmless for Longxi Village, after all, it has also brought popularity and enhanced the gold content of Longxi Village's tourism.

Again, Huang Youyang has an investment here, he will care a lot about the business here, and the recommended resources will unconsciously tilt to this side, which will bring real benefits to Longxi Village.

This is also the reason why Zhou Heng did not invest in this area himself.

At that time, he did have some money on hand, and he could afford to do this, but how to say it? Yes, but it was not necessary.

One cannot think of earning all the money on his own. If you do it yourself, it will take a lot of effort, and it may not be better than others.

Cooperation with Huang Youyang like this is actually a win-win situation, he has a lot less to worry about, he doesn't make much less money, the benefits of tourist attractions have increased, and he has made a good friend, isn't it good?

Huang Youyang has a long-term view of this art salon, works very seriously, advertises everywhere, and brings in a lot of small types of artists.

For example, some young craftsmen who will be regarded as "not doing their jobs", their paper art, copper wire art, toothpick sculpture, miniature carving art, etc., have settled here, which often makes tourists who come to praise it and think that it is worth the trip.

It can be said that the stage in the early stage has been set up, and as long as the later things are carefully operated and managed, they can still be done well.

And Mr. Liu, with a few people, settled in a booth last year, and the apprentices who taught him were also actively making up new plays.

In Mr. Liu's own words, he already has an apprentice, and even if he retires now, the industry can continue.

He was certainly full of pride.

At the age of 70, he set out to promote the local shadow puppet culture, which was a big event for him, and it was a worthwhile life.

As for what form the shadow puppet show will continue in the end, that should be something for young people to consider, after all, the world is ultimately for young people, and he is very relieved to let them take care of this.

During this time, the success of the movie "Demon Demon" also greatly attracted people's attention to the shadow puppet show itself.

Shadow puppetry is not limited to here, there are genres all over the country, and although the film only does the genre style here, it can also arouse their impulse to pay attention to their own genre.

When more people pay attention, there is always a little bit of chemistry happening.

In fact, no matter what form of chemical reaction, in the end, it is continuing the life of this old culture.

The revival of the old culture is not just a matter of words, and whether it can be effective in the end depends on the economic push.

Shadow puppetry is like this, and everything else is the same.

If a thing can generate economic value, it can be promoted without being said.

Crafts that are about to disappear, such as shadow puppetry, rattan weaving, straw weaving, handmade ancient boats, oil-paper umbrellas, etc., are actually former daily necessities and have their economic value, and some people use these things to support their families, so some people are willing to do it.

And now, these things can't be exchanged for money, and they will slowly disappear.

But if you can think about it differently and generate economic value from somewhere else, it still has vitality.

For example, the shadow puppet elements are made into movies, which have achieved a very considerable box office, and at the same time, they can also be noticed by countless people, which will produce the next round of promotion.

For example, the rattan products in Longxi Village, Li Li has settled in a year ago, and by now, she has gradually begun to receive orders.

The style of rattan products is more fashionable and more suitable for the aesthetic requirements of modern people, and it can regain its vitality.

Zhou Heng believes that this is probably the reason why this "Contemporary Youth Art Salon" can be held, because it conforms to the development of the times and naturally attracts the attention of young people.

As for "whether to keep the old craftsmanship that is about to disappear", he has a positive attitude, and he is willing to see that these are developing in a healthy way.

Old art does not exist only in museums, but in the eyes of young people, and sooner or later, there will always be a chance to shine with it.

And while these things are developing steadily, the little pomegranate has also grown up quietly, one year old and nine months, and she is a big girl with aura in her eyes.

Now she can not only walk, run and jump, but also master more vocabulary, and communication is generally not a big problem.

The little guy still talks a lot, and he finds a sense of existence all day long, and all kinds of nagging.

The cat and the big yellow dog became her close companions and accompanied her growth. In addition, "Zhou Jiayi and Zhou Jiaer", the two little sand sculpture cubs, are already adults and are also one of her friends.

These two bird cubs appear more and more frequently in Longxi Village, especially near Zhou Heng's home, which has been seen by many tourists, and it has almost become one of the attractions.

Zhou Heng has filmed a lot of videos about these two, and he has specially sorted out a series, starting from when they were children, it was like telling a serial, until these two grew up.

The environment in this area is better, the ecology is improved, not only there is a butterfly tide in spring, but also the natural birds in the rest of the season have increased a lot.

For example, the group of egrets that appeared before have already made their homes here and are ready to reproduce the next generation, and many people have been fortunate enough to see the famous scene of "a line of egrets in the sky".

However, Longxi Village has a huge tourism project, including six surrounding natural villages, and the security and cameras are very complete, but I haven't seen anyone poaching for the time being.

As a result, sand sculptures, egrets, and some birds that are rarely seen can thrive here, and tourists have become accustomed to it from the previous amazement.

Zhou Heng actually likes the two sand sculpture cubs, but unfortunately the two seem to have identified the little characters as friends with them and the little pomegranate, so they are only close to her, and the relationship with Zhou Heng is general, as if they treat their elders, which is a bit perfunctory.

That and the rest of the people, of course, are even more irrational.

Zhou Heng went home after finishing the matter at hand, and the little pomegranate was going to pick him up at the entrance of the village as usual, and then the little figure rushed towards him.

A close-fitting little padded jacket.

Zhou Heng picked her up, held her high, made the little pomegranate smile, and then asked her, "Do you want Dad?"

The little girl said crisply, "Yes." ”

I haven't seen it all day, so how can I not want to.

Zhou Heng wanted to chat with her more, so he asked her, "Then what are you doing at home today?"

The little pomegranate replied in a milky voice: "My sister and I play ball." ”

Now that she has slowly begun to build up the logic of her language, she has become more and more able to express a thing more clearly in her answers.

Although the words may still be slurred, the expression is very good.

For these advances in children, Zhou Hengzhen feels that he should thank his wife, she is more patient than him, and she has spent more effort than him in educating children, and they are all more scientific.

He, who is a father, only knows how to buy this and that for his children, spoil his children, and is her "pig teammate".

Zhou Heng asked the little pomegranate: "Do you play ball with your sister, what kind of ball, do you know how to play?"

Now that Wang Siqi is on summer vacation, most of the time is spent with his grandfather, playing with the little pomegranate every day.

Little Pomegranate proudly showed the ball in his hand: "Hit it, table tennis." ”

This is the most affectionate of all her toys, and she has been playing for half a year, and she still often takes it out to play, and she will not dislike it at all, and she has a lot of fun every day.

It's just that she's not even two years old, and she's just playing around, and she can't talk about any rules and skills at all.

The thought of Wang Siqi playing with a little guy who didn't know anything made him feel sorry for her - Zaicai's opponent also wanted to play with someone who was about the same level as himself, and he wanted to meet an opponent in chess.

Like Little Pomegranate, he can't even hold a racket well, and it's difficult to communicate with each other in terms of rules, and he can't catch nine out of ten balls, how tiring it is to play!

It can be regarded as Wang Siqi's patience is good.

Zhou Heng couldn't answer, so he had to look at the child's mother and smile helplessly.

In the middle of summer in July, lotus flowers are in full bloom, and this year's summer tourism is also very popular. Zhou Heng said: "Let's go to the lotus pond tomorrow to play, okay?"

Speaking of which, these things have been piled up together this summer, and even if Zhou Heng wants to be lazy, he will always be relatively busy, and he will even have less time to accompany his family.

Now that the lotus flowers are in full bloom, he thinks why don't he go and rest with his family.

In addition to appreciating lotus flowers, it is also very suitable to taste lotus pond side dishes, such as fried lotus root, fried water chestnut, lotus root pork rib soup, etc., which has a rural atmosphere.

Tourists like it very much, even Zhou Heng, and they also like to visit it.

Jiang Xiaoxuan smiled: "Okay, that's really good." I'm probably going to have a day off tomorrow. ”

Zhou Heng asked, "What kind of holiday?"

The child's mother told the story: The little pomegranate has no curiosity about walking and running now, and has reached the stage where Zhou Ying and others said that "they will walk but want to hug".

When I couldn't walk before, I always wanted to come down and learn to walk, I didn't want to be held, and I hummed and chirped after holding it for a long time. It's good now, after I can walk and run, I always don't want to go.

Every time she walked a few steps, she began to hum and chirp, not wanting to go, wanting to hug, and then simply standing there without leaving.

It is normal for children to be reluctant to walk, one is too small, it is easy to get tired when they walk too much, and they will want to hug when they are tired;

Usually if Zhou Heng is busy, Jiang Xiaoxuan will hold him most of the time, if the family goes out to play tomorrow, the child will definitely be hugged by her father, won't she just have a day off.

Zhou Heng laughed, hugged the little pomegranate and kissed it, and said, "No problem, wrap it on me tomorrow." ”

Little Pomegranate smiled and started the repeater: "Wrap it up on me." ”

She didn't know what she was talking about, anyway, her father was so happy to hold it, she shook her body proudly, and her two little feet shook happily.
