Chapter 221: Should it be passed on?
Zhou Heng asked Li Li rhetorically: "How do you know that I can weave vases?"
There is not much difference between a woven basket and a vase in nature, and once you master the technique, you will be able to understand everything.
When he was a child, he also weaved a delicate cage of grasshoppers, which was quite beautiful, and then grabbed the grasshoppers himself and put them inside.
It's all because there wasn't much entertainment at that time, so I learned these worthless gadgets.
Li Li took out her mobile phone, found a drawing software, drew the shape of a vase on the spot, and said, "Is it okay to weave it into such a silhouette?"
The silhouette of a few strokes is a classical vase shape, which matches the temperament of this orchid very well, complements each other, and is full of ancient charm, which shows her skills.
Zhou Heng took the picture she sent and said, "Good guy, you can still give me a picture and sample customization!"
"Okay?"
"Yes, of course, there is no way a man can't do it!"
However, it's not early now, and it's time to get ready to rest and sleep, and nine o'clock is already considered to be staying up late.
This kind of vase weaving thing, you don't have to rush to work, let's get up tomorrow and talk about it.
Wang Caijun brought a tent, which he bought on the Internet and never opened, and after installing it, he found that it was quite big - he had no experience in buying it for the first time, and he thought that he would live for a while anyway, so he bought a more than 1,000 one, which is relatively good.
After the kind is propped up, it covers an area of more than ten square meters, as well as roofs, simple windows, doors, etc., and the top and all around are rainproof and have a certain degree of thermal insulation.
So, Zhou Heng originally planned to send Jiang Xiaoxuan and Li Li to live in Zhang Yunxi's house, but now forget it, let them live in the hut, and he and Hu Jinhua came over to squeeze the tent with Wang Caijun.
Anyway, there is no shortage of quilts, and this time I brought two beds from home.
Early the next morning, Zhou Heng got up to feed the sheep, and found that Zhang Yunxi was already carrying a bag and putting feed in each sheep trough, and the sheep were eating deliciously.
The feed is matched by Zhou Heng, there are some corn stalk crushed, soybean stalk crushed, corn kernels, etc., sheep prefer to chew chewy food like corn kernels, but they can't be allowed to eat more, they have to cooperate with other kinds of food.
Otherwise, it is easy to eat and even swell to death. Just eating corn and drinking water can expand the stomach several times, which should not be underestimated.
It's sunny today, but it's still early, the sun hasn't come out yet, and the sky is gray.
Zhou Heng got up to prepare to feed the sheep, but now that the sheep have been fed, there is nothing for him. He just logged in to the breeding APP, scanned the situation of these sheep, and earned some experience points by the way.
After scanning these, by the way, the chickens, rabbits, and fish at home are scanned, anyway, now that I have the permission to operate remotely, while being insured, there are experience points to earn.
Once you're done, there's nothing to do. So he pondered, and after a while, he went to cut some vines and weave the vase that Li Li said last night?
The orchid carved by Hu Jinhua is a work of art, and it needs to be stored in a container worthy of it, so it must be himself, and Zhou Heng has a sense of mission.
However, we have to have breakfast first.
At this time, the rest of the people also got up one after another, and Wang Caijun was very active, helping Zhang Yunxi to carry the bag and feed the sheep - although he didn't know anything.
Zhang Yunxi couldn't figure out the situation at first, and he didn't know why someone was robbing him of his job, which was not a good sign.
He was a little nervous, Zhou Heng smiled and explained to him that this was a friend of his own, who came to play and help with something by the way. Whatever he wants, let him do it, don't be polite to him.
Zhang Yunxi is actually a little unable to let go, this foreigner who speaks Mandarin, he doesn't dare to tell people what to do.
However, Wang Caijun took the initiative and saw Zhang Yunxi sweeping the sheepfold, and he also took another broom to help sweep some sheep that did not leak.
The bottom is saved and swept together at night, swept to the distance next to it and piled up, and fermented into organic fertilizer.
To be honest, this kind of repetitive work, he thinks it's weird and interesting to do, although he didn't do it well at first, and his posture is clumsy, but it's not a high degree of difficulty that he can't learn.
It's really as he imagined, doing it, people start to heat up, sweat is about to come out, where is it still cold!
Here, Zhou Heng and the others were preparing to make some breakfast, and then go to chop the vines, and Zhang Dewang had already picked up a load and came over.
As soon as he arrived, he greeted with a smile: "You are all up? ”
Zhou Heng was a little embarrassed and said, "Big brother, how embarrassing is this? ”
Zhang Feng called his eldest brother, and Zhou Heng followed suit, which meant something.
"No, no, I've picked it all for you, just eat some and make it too much trouble for yourself. Zhang Dewang said with a smile.
In the previous days, Zhou Heng always shouted Zhang Yunxi when cooking, and then Zhang Dewang came back and ate for several days, and he ate well every meal, with meat and vegetables.
Now that Zhou Heng is here, he is also very enthusiastic to make breakfast and pick it up.
He sweated all the way over, and his padded jacket was taken off.
Over there, the girls had just gotten up, and they hadn't had time to freshen up, and they were really embarrassed to see that others had picked up breakfast, so they hurried to wash.
Breakfast was cornmeal poop with steaming polenta, a large plate of fried meat with chili peppers, and a large plate of pickles.
They are all preparing for the New Year, and they are also here to kill pigs for the New Year, and meat is indispensable.
After a group of people thanked them, they happily ate it.
To be honest, in the past, Zhou Heng always felt that he was very poor here, and the staple food was corn, which felt incredible, but in fact, it was really delicious to eat like this occasionally.
Nowadays, people are like this, after getting used to eating big fish and meat, they eat wild vegetables with all kinds of thoughts, and always feel that the dandelions, wild leeks and the like that they used to eat are very good things.
The coarse grains that I couldn't look down on before, now they are all healthy.
This is a pollution-free green coarse grain, planted with confidence.
While eating, Zhang Dewang spoke and told Zhou Heng a piece of news - on the hill behind their village, a network signal tower was being built, and construction was already underway.
Zhou Heng is really a little surprised, the provincial TV station is really a bit bold, saying that if you find someone to get it, you can really find someone to get it, this efficiency!
With the network tower, the signal is enhanced, and it will be much easier for him to do things.
By the way, the TV program, it seems that it will be broadcast tomorrow night, and I will find a place to watch TV when the time comes. I have to take a look at it when I go back to the show and show my face on TV.
I don't know if the TV station's camera has a beauty filter or something.
After breakfast, Wang Caijun continued to be Zhang Yunxi's younger brother and did a lot of fun, while Zhou Heng and a few others went to cut vines.
Hu Jinhua didn't follow, he was studying the bamboo pavilion that Zhou Heng had done halfway through - it was like this before he left last time, and it was still thrown here like this.
But the silhouette of the hexagonal pavilion has already come out, Hu Jinhua just needs to think about where it is suitable to add some wood carving works, and then design a suitable pattern and add it.
The dragon and phoenix pattern is what he is best at, but he doesn't like it, and thinks that a more modern bamboo pavilion needs to be matched with more representative aesthetic carvings.
He walked around the bamboo pavilion inside and out, eye-checking and gesturing, and typing the draft in his heart.
Over there, Zhou Heng had already chopped some rattan of different thicknesses and came back, and the two girls followed behind, also having a good time.
Looking at Zhou Heng while thinking about it, he compared the graphics drawn by Li Li, and the way the vine flew in his hand, Jiang Xiaoxuan really felt that he was a master.
When Hu Jinhua was carving yesterday, he recorded a video, and now it is naturally indispensable to shoot it and make a collection video when the time comes.
She felt like it was a good idea.
Sometimes she really feels that such an old craft with an artistic nature should really be carried forward, rather than being buried in the mountains.
She asked Zhou Heng: "Eh, have you ever thought about putting your works on the Internet to promote it, so that more people can see your rattan weaving skills here?"
Zhou Heng smiled: "It's worthless, who will pay attention!"
"That's not necessarily, I just feel that these are very good and distinctive, why can't they be promoted?"
She is more idealistic and values these things. Otherwise, she wouldn't have taken the initiative to promote the shadow puppetry she heard about in the first place.
And when someone asks her relevant questions later, she will not hesitate to take the initiative to promote.
Zhou Heng noticed the seriousness in her tone and asked, "Do you really think our rattan weaving here is very good?"
"Of course it's very good! Don't you see your comments on the Internet?" She thinks so, too.
This made Zhou Heng a little tempted, he thought, if we have more names here as "the hometown of rattan weaving", it would be good.
Of course, rattan weaving is also divided into factions, and this technology is available in the north and south of the country, but the weaving process will be different, and there will be certain external differences.
In fact, many types of rattan weaving have applied for the protection of intangible heritage, even if the product is not very valuable and there is no market, but the technology is passed on.
Now that it is on the cusp of the revival of the old culture, many old arts that have been neglected are now applying for intangible cultural heritage protection to prevent them from disappearing.
Previously, Zhou Heng also watched a documentary, talking about a kind of straw shoe weaving in the southwest - that is, straw shoes made with the leaves of cattail grass, and that technology has also been applied for intangible cultural heritage.
The person who knows this technology is an old man in his seventies, and to this day he will still use his hands to make some straw sandals, sell them in the market, and be snapped up - these days, I don't wear them, but I buy a pair and keep them at home to collect, and there are also commemorative ones.
And it's already sold for a lot of money, it seems to be more than a hundred dollars a pair?
Back then, this kind of straw sandals was sold in a large bun, and five pairs could be exchanged for a few steamed buns. Weaving straw shoes day and night can be exchanged for New Year's money, or a new piece of clothing.
The only inheritor, the old man, said with a smile: Don't say that I sell more than a hundred pairs now, I don't play straw sandals and sell them on the street, you just want to spend a thousand yuan to buy a pair, then you can't buy it!
