Chapter 832: A Peculiar Wood Carving

Entering the real Taxco handicraft street, Yuanyuan, who was already very excited, was like a bird out of the cage, happily drilling around in the crowd, happy like a little girl, not the mother of a nearly five-year-old girl.

"Wow, it's so lively here, there are so many people!" An exclamation came out of her mouth, and Yuanyuan felt as if she had come to a new world, and everything here was different from what she had seen before.

The density of tourists here can be compared to the popular attractions on domestic holidays, but there is no such impetuous atmosphere at all, everyone has a smile on their faces, and they look very laid-back.

Yuan Yuan even saw someone looking around slowly more than once, and suddenly stopped in front of a small stall, bargaining with the stall owner with great interest for a peculiar handicraft, sometimes a few dozen pesos of gadgets they could even cut for more than ten minutes, and when the right price was negotiated, they happily bought it, as if they had taken advantage of something.

And the stall owner was also very happy, the grinning mouth could not hide the joy of his face, the thing was sold, the money was earned, compared to the tourists who thought they had taken a big advantage, the stall owner felt that he had also earned.

Some things are probably just worthless scraps, but they are skillfully processed into beautiful and delicate knick-knacks, which is an added value of labor and an embodiment of art.

The stall owner felt that he was not paying too much.

Unlike Yuanyuan, who ran back and forth non-stop, Jin Yang was quite leisurely, with his hands behind his back, walking slowly forward with figure-eight steps, and half of his body behind him followed Thomp, looking like a young master in the old world.

There are all kinds of things here, there are exquisite accessories, beautiful clothes, fun toys, and many of them look weird, compared to ordinary pedestrian streets, this place is really much more fun.

Jin Yang walked in front, and when he met someone who was interested, he would turn around and ask, and Tom followed behind to introduce them one by one, and the two cooperated with each other very tacitly.

"Boss, not everything here is made by the stall owner or the owner himself, for example, some of the wood carvings in this stall, most of them come from Oaxaca. ”

"Oaxaca?" Jin Yang looked suspicious, and stopped in front of the stall full of wood carvings, he had never heard of the name Oaxaca, but the wood carvings in front of him did look very good.

These wood carvings are full of Mexican style, real and imaginary animal images are carved to life, vivid, and even some images from Indian myths and legends have been carved and put up for sale here.

Tom is just a temporary driver and guide, although he also did some homework in time after knowing the tasks ordered by the boss, but he is not a professional tour guide, he can name a lot of things, he is probably already extraordinary, and it is simply unrealistic to expect him to be able to tell the origin of various items in detail.

For the city of Oaxaca, Tom has only learned about it on the Internet, so he can't make any effective answers to the boss's doubts, so he has to smile bitterly on the side, "Boss, I've only read some information on the Internet, and I've heard that Oaxaca's handicrafts are very distinctive, and I don't know about the rest." ”

"It doesn't matter. Jin Yang didn't intend to be strong, he squatted down in front of the stall and carefully looked at a few strangely shaped wood carvings.

One of the wood carvings looks very much like a mouse, this is the mouse is too strange, it has a thick and long big tail, but the big tail is still purple, and there are black rings on it, if it is not the wrong color, Jin Yang still thinks that this is who copied Andy's tail.

The abdomen of the rat is yellow, with small black pits like strawberries on it, and its claws are like the webbed of a duck, and it looks very sharp, as if it can explode with great lethality when it is wielded.

It has a round, pointed head, red with a white grid on the inside of its ears, and a few long white beards, which add a bit of cunning to it.

Especially those big black eyes, even if they are not small, but when Jin Yang saw it, he thought of the words "thief eyebrows and mouse eyes" at first sight, which was extremely expressive.

"Boss, how do these wood carvings sell?" Jin Yang pointed to several unique-looking animal wood carvings, including the big mouse.

These animal wood carvings are carved very expressively, the action demeanor is very charming, at a glance it is not the kind of road goods carved out of the machine can be compared, these should be handicrafts carved by the wood carver with an extraordinary level, which is worth a lot.

Jin Yang took a fancy to these animal wood carvings, and planned to buy them back for Xiao Duoduo to play with as toys, well, or put a wood carving in his room is not bad, when he is bored, he looks at the big mouse thief as if he wants to steal something, it must be very interesting.

"1,500 pesos, sir, you have a really good eye, these woodcarvings are from Oaxaca, a well-known woodcarving studio there...... Each of these wood carvings costs only 1,500 pesos. ”

The stall owner was a middle-aged uncle, and when he saw a customer coming to the door, and he immediately took a fancy to several wood carvings, his dark skin was immediately full of smiles, and he began to introduce his wood carvings endlessly.

It can also be said to be bragging, anyway, you don't have to pay taxes to brag, and you can cheat one by one.

For example, these wood carvings are indeed from Oaxaca, and they are produced by a local wood carving studio, but it is very obvious that they are not famous, and if the famous work is a wood carving, it will not be his turn to sell this small broken stall.

It seems that all the vendors are the same, and if they don't brag, they will die, but Jin Yang didn't care about this, but was very interested in some of the things introduced by the stall owner.

"Boss, can you tell me about Oaxaca? I'm very interested in that place, and I think that the place where such beautiful and expressive wood carvings can be carved must be a very culturally rich and very special place. Jin Yang asked curiously.

This is not a lie, I am very curious about the real feeling of these wood carvings Jinyang, why was that mouse carved into that shape, is this an imagination, or is there really such a mouse?

Or is it related to the traditional culture of the ancient Indians?

"Oh, since you're interested, sir, of course that's fine. The middle-aged stall owner quickly agreed to such a simple request from a client, and it was also a rare opportunity for him to finally have someone willing to listen to him brag.
