Chapter 234: Lantern Festival
Zhou Heng just laughed, and didn't plan to argue with the old lady.
Everyone has the right to speak, can't they express their opinions when they're old? It's normal for aesthetics to be different.
He thinks that people's aesthetics are really limited by age. For example, who were the stars he liked before, and when he saw the little fresh meat that is popular now, he would despise it in his heart and couldn't get used to it.
It's only been a long time, and he can't take it anymore. What's more, how many years have passed since the aesthetics of the parents!
There is a high probability that the aesthetic habits of youth may accompany them for life.
Maybe their current aesthetics, when they get old, will also be disliked by later generations.
Li Li received the picture he sent, and replied to the message with surprise, saying that he was really beautiful in weaving, better than her painting, and very artistic.
After they went back for the Chinese New Year a few years ago, they are still staying in their homes and have not yet come. It is estimated that it will be at least after the Lantern Festival.
Needless to say, Hu Jinhua still has works that have not been completed. In addition, last year, he promised to help Zhou Heng do the cornice carving of the hexagonal pavilion, but only one was completed, and the rest was still waiting for him.
Li Li thought, after such a long time, it is impossible to make only this one, right? So she also asked, why did she only receive one picture, but what about the others?
At that time, she drew several style drawings.
Zhou Heng replied: What are you thinking? I am also celebrating the New Year. This is only the one that's done for now.
At that time, it was because Hu Jinhua accidentally made a woodcarved orchid and needed a matching base, so she asked Zhou Heng to help weave a rattan vase, which felt very good.
This sparked her inspiration, so she drew a few more style drawings by the way.
And now seeing the finished picture, Li Li is really very happy, and she feels that her artistic path seems to have broadened a little.
I didn't work for half a year, I played as I wanted for half a year, and now my thinking seems to be more and more flexible, she is very interested in designing rattan products, and plans to come over early and study this discipline well.
Of course, she also knows that in today's home improvement market, natural products such as straw weaving and rattan weaving have formed an obvious market style, and these products are obviously very marketable.
However, these are what she planned in her heart for the time being, and she didn't say it, only saying that she would come over after the New Year as soon as possible.
Zhou Heng finished chatting with her briefly, looked at the remaining rattans, and said, "Then don't you want to weave a lantern anymore? The day after tomorrow is the Lantern Festival." ”
They have the custom of playing with torches during the Lantern Festival, but now it has evolved into playing with lanterns, and most of them are just buying one to play with.
But the lanterns are all played by children, and a "child" as big as Zhou Heng generally watches others play well, and there is no need to prepare lanterns.
However, men are children until they die, so who rules that they can't play?
Anyway, there were just some remaining rattans, so he decided to make one, with a special shape.
I also recorded a video when I knitted it, and it was just right. He feels a little out of business in this breeding video.
And Jiang Xiaoxuan took a close-up of the vase she had just completed, and she also ended today's video shooting and was ready to do post-production.
It's been a few days, and I haven't posted some videos with substantive content, and it's a shame that the fans have a good temper and haven't really lost fans.
By the way, that pair of insoles also have to be dedicated to show fans the style of embroidered insoles here.
It is estimated that many people wore embroidered insoles when they were children, but they haven't touched them for many years, so let them envy them.
This kind of old art, take a look at it more when you can. In a few years, I guess I won't be able to see it.
……
As soon as there are many fans, many things are very fast, which is equivalent to real-time live broadcast.
Jiang Xiaoxuan just posted the sorted video, and there were a lot of clamoring for links on the Internet, asking where to buy it and how much it cost.
Asking the price directly is a more gentle approach.
There are also irritable people who come up.,Say that this video anchor doesn't respect people.,People have been chasing after the rattan items in the last few issues.,Chasing messages.,Ask if this is valuable.,Where can I buy it.,But this anchor doesn't reply.,What's the trouble?
Putting things out to tempt people, not to mention how to sell them, is it so disrespectful to fans?
Like that rattan hammock, so good-looking, people have asked for several issues, how much can I buy, can't I give a reply?
This chase!
Jiang Xiaoxuan wanted to laugh a little when she looked at these replies, the fans were so cute, saying that they wanted to take off their fans, and they would chase after them when they were due. And there is a unified reply on it, but some people just don't look at it and have to ask.
Not only did he not look at it, but he was not happy and came up in a bad tone.
Before she could reply, other fans answered.
[Is it so clear that you don't read it? This is just a rattan revelation. 】
[This anchor is engaged in breeding, and the products are only breeding products, and the cross-line rattan weaving is only sent out for a while, not a rattan business. 】
[Ning threatens to take off his fans at every turn to scare people, why is every video there?
[The rattan weaving craftsmanship here is limited to the world, the only one, I would rather buy it, how much money to give!]
[If I could buy it, I would have bought it a long time ago, can I still wait for Ning?]
Jiang Xiaoxuan showed these messages to Zhou Heng, and discussed with a smile: "Why don't you just come to a link?"
Zhou Heng said: "They are just joking, you are serious!"
He has time now, so he has time to make up two to play, but he didn't think about taking this as a career. It's really a link on the Internet, so it's not serious?
Besides, maybe those who haven't seen the old craft, once in a while, one or two feel very interested and fresh, and when you really take this as a career, they may be gone.
That's a lot of work.
Jiang Xiaoxuan suddenly said: "Don't, didn't you say that you are willing to promote the folk culture here? This is the old folk customs, and you need to publicize it." ”
"Didn't I publicize it? Didn't I make these rattan weavings for fans to see?"
"What's the use of your propaganda like this? People can easily forget it when they look at it. ”
"What else should I do?"
"You have to make them able to buy, collect, or use, this is propaganda!" Jiang Xiaoxuan is quite persistent.
She thinks that such a delicate thing should not be buried.
During the Lantern Festival, Zhou Ying's family came again, except for Wang Zhihong, who had already gone to work.
There are places where this festival is light, just eat a rice ball, there are places to have a strong life, as well as lion dances, stilt walking, community fire, temple fairs, etc., the difference between the north and the south is very large.
In addition, now that the Chinese New Year has been diluted, the rest of the festivals are even lighter.
Big cities may hold some lantern-themed park activities, such as lion dances, flower viewing, lantern viewing, etc., for people to play. In small places, in addition to the more lively and concentrated towns, the rural places are all playing their own games.
During the day, you can also go to the temple fair, and at night, you can light lanterns, torches, firecrackers, fireworks, and the like at each house.
Speaking of which, the Lantern Festival is still the ancient Valentine's Day.
In ancient times, young girls were not allowed to go out to move freely, but they could go out to play together during the festival, and the Lantern Festival was just an opportunity to socialize.
Unmarried men and women can also find a partner for themselves by viewing the lanterns. During the Lantern Festival, it is another time for young men and women to meet their lovers.
Now, there is no such thing, if you have money and a partner, you can spend Valentine's Day every day, Chinese, Western, and what White Day, even Christmas has become Valentine's Day.
Zhou Heng and the others don't have much activity here during the day, mainly eating glutinous rice balls, and lighting lanterns, firecrackers and fireworks at night.
In the evening, Mr. Liu celebrated and celebrated, and they would perform a shadow puppet show for free, and those who wanted to come and see it would come - it just so happened that a few tourists came to play in the past two days, and they could enjoy it.
This is also the variety show of Zhou Heng of the provincial TV station before the Chinese New Year, anyway, it will be rebroadcast every other week, which can bring some tourists.
In other words, Zhou Heng only thought that this would help the business of his farm, but he didn't expect that it could bring tourism resources.
It is these sporadic tourists that make Sun Ji'an very positive.
Zhou Heng heard him talk about the progress, and said that in a few days, professors from other people's architecture schools would come over to see the topography of the mountain village, and then design the overall style.
That means that the School of Architecture has already negotiated, and it is left with the meaning of the people in the village - when Sun Ji'an told the city about this, he lied to the above, saying that the villagers had negotiated before the Chinese New Year.
He is now busy holding meetings with the villagers, burning his ass every day.
In the afternoon, Li Yunlian used a stove to make egg dumplings, and Wang Siqi stood by the stove and stared, feeling so amazing.
Why does grandma cook like this?
Egg dumplings are a very common home-cooked dish, and it is convenient to cook them on the stove.
Li Yunlian took a big spoon, first rubbed a piece of fatty meat, dipped it in a layer of lard, then poured a little of the beaten egg mixture, put it on the stove to roast, and slowly rotated it until it was full of a spoon.
Then put the chopped feed on a pair of chopsticks, then fold the egg skin in half, dip it like a dumpling, and then bake both sides.
The egg dumplings made are golden and fragrant, and they are extremely appetizing when lined up one by one, Wang Siqi is so curious that he doesn't blink his eyes, and smacks his lips from time to time and swallows his saliva.
It smells so good.
Li Yunlian looked at her and asked her with a smile: "Qiqi, do you want to eat?"
Wang Siqi nodded heavily.
"Okay, grandma will let you eat more in a while, okay?"
Wang Siqi nodded heavily.
"Your mother didn't make this for you?"
Wang Siqi shook his head.
Zhou Ying was cutting meat in the kitchen, and when she saw the situation outside, she immediately defended herself: "Why didn't I make this for you to eat?" I always made it and put it in the refrigerator, and when you came back from school, put it in the pot and cook it for you to eat, you just didn't see it." ”
Wang Siqi looked at his mother in the kitchen, completely confused, and had no impression at all.
Li Yunlian suddenly laughed.
The little older children really get cuter the more they look at it, and the more they look at it, the more they like it.
She couldn't help but think of Zhou Ying when she was young, and the gap between her and now is really too big.
At that time, it would be good to be full, and you can eat egg dumplings on how old you want to eat. It's very common now, and I don't feel it at all when I eat this for the New Year's holiday.
It's been a better day.
I don't know what's going on, but when people get older, it's always easy to remember the old days.
Compared with them who were busy with dinner, Zhou Heng seemed to be relatively idle, and he was still busy with his lantern tonight - originally he made a lantern yesterday, but Jiang Xiaoxuan took a fancy to it and said that he would put it in her room to light an aromatherapy lamp.
She felt that she had taken a fancy to special literature and art, and snatched it away directly, which was very domineering female president.
So, he now has to do it again.
Wang Rui sat next to him, watched him busy, and asked, "Uncle, is this for me?"
"Are you still young? Do you still have to play with lanterns?
"Huh, this is for Qi Qi?"
Zhou Heng said: "This is for me to play with." You kids don't know how to play. ”
Wang Rui suddenly gave him a disdainful "sigh".
Then, he asked a fatal question: "Uncle, today is Chinese Valentine's Day, have you bought a gift?"
