The handicraft area is a very popular thing for tourists in the temple fair, there are many things in it, and each handicraft has a very strong Chinese cultural atmosphere.

As far as the eye can see, many tourists gather in front of some stalls, playing and admiring the various gadgets on the stalls.

The stalls are also varied, there are kneading dough people, there are cloth sellers, there are candy blowers, there are sugar paintings, there are ceramics sellers, there are bamboo carvings, pottery people, ironware sellers, weaving products, everything.

"Xu Fang, what are you doing here?" Lin Xiangxue asked in surprise.

"Do you still remember the handicraft area in our Yuehai Village Scenic Area? Originally, I planned to let there be more craftsmen on that street, but I have been busy and I don't have time to find them, aren't these ready-made talents now?" Looking at the various handicraft stalls on this street, Xu Fang's eyes lit up.

"You're here to hit Yanjing with this idea, but these people are generally Yanjing natives, will they go to southern Fujian with you?" Lin Xiangxue asked suspiciously.

"I don't plan to catch them all, just ask them one by one, there's always something to go. Xu Fang said with a smile.

"Well, then you go and ask, how are you going to ask?" Lin Xiangxue was a little curious.

"Those who sell a lot of goods should not go, after all, the money they make is enough to spend, and we may not be able to afford it. But you see the candy blowing man over there, and the one who sells embroidery, there are quite a lot of onlookers, but there are few who really buy them, and they don't make much money a month, if we can open a relatively good price, they should leave. Of course, those who are very old will definitely not want to go, but those who are younger can try. Even if they don't agree, there must be fellow disciples, right? ”

Listening to Xu Fang's analysis here, Lin Xiangxue shouted: "You have already prepared for your feelings." ”

"Just a little, just a little. Xu Fang was modest, but the lack of beating on his face still made Lin Xiangxue couldn't help but screw him.

"Who are you going to find first?" asked Lin Xiangxue.

Xu Fang pointed to the straw weaver not far away: "Let's do this first, there are really not many people who buy it." ”

Following the direction Xu Fang pointed, Lin Xiangxue also saw the stall. The weaver was a middle-aged man, in his forties and close to fifties, with a shaved head, dressed in a very plain, simple gray cotton suit and a felt hat.

The hands, although rough, are flexible. Pieces of palm leaves in his hands soon turned into a small animal. In his stall, there are also various woven animals at the moment, such as grasshoppers, birds, peacocks, dogs, cats, dragonflies and butterflies. It looks vivid, vivid, and very gratifying.

There were a lot of onlookers in front of his booth, but many of them took photos and left, not many people asked the price, and the vast majority of people asked the price and did not buy.

Xu Fang and Lin Xiangxue came over, and the weaving uncle didn't care about them. It wasn't until Xu Fang picked up a grasshopper and asked the price that the uncle looked at Xu Fang and said, "This is ten yuan." ”

"The prices are all different?" asked Xu Fang.

"That's right, little brother, look at this little fish, it's easy to make up and sell for eight yuan, and this peacock is expensive, it has to be sold for twenty. Uncle Weaver laughed.

"How much can you sell this day?" asked Xu Fangxiao with a smile.

"I don't sell much, but I guess I can make a few hundred dollars. Uncle Weaving didn't hide it, and replied with a smile.

"That's not bad, so that the monthly income can exceed 10,000. Xu Fang said.

"Oh, this is really not!" Uncle Straw hurriedly waved his hand: "Today happens to be a temple fair, there are many people here, how can there be so many people in normal times? ”

"Uncle, don't you usually do this?"

"No, I'm an electrician. ”

"How much does an electrician earn in a month?" Xu Fang asked again.

"Six thousand, not much money, but stable. Uncle said with a smile.

Xu Fang knew in his heart that six thousand a month was really not much in Yanjing. If you have a local house, it's fine, but if you want to rent a house in another place, you have to remove a lot of rent.

Smiling, Xu Fang handed over a business card, and said gently: "Uncle, I am a scenic spot in southern Fujian Province, there is a handicraft street in our scenic spot, I want to ask you to go over to do weaving full-time, I don't know if it is convenient for you to go over?"

Xu Fang's straightforward words made the straw weaving uncle stunned, and the uncle said after a while: "Minnan Province?"

"Yes!"

"It's a bit far. Uncle Straw asked, "And can I make any money by going there?"

Hearing the straw weaving uncle mention the money, Xu Fang couldn't help but be happy, which shows that there is a play. Immediately, he looked straight, pulled the straw weaving uncle to the side, and said seriously: "Uncle, you are actually a craftsman, although this kind of straw weaving is not difficult, but there are not many people who are willing to learn, and even fewer can weave it so good as you." Now people don't look down on this line, but this line is a cultural treasure left by our ancestors, and it can't be buried like this, I also want to make some contributions to this cultural inheritance, and I hope more people will see your craftsmanship. You can rest assured about the treatment, control, I will pay for the cost of materials or something, the monthly salary is 7,000, I will give five insurances and one housing fund, and the knitted products sold, we will divide them into fifty and fifty, how about it?"

Uncle straw weaving has some emotion on his face at the moment, not to mention anything else, the basic salary alone is 1,000 more than he earned in Yanjing, and the consumption level in that place in Minnan Province is definitely not as good as here, and the treatment of 7,000 over there must be much more valuable than in Yanjing.

And the 7,000 is only the basic salary, and the knitted products sold can still be shared, which is really good.

But how did this good thing fall on his head?

Uncle straw frowned before asking: "There are so many people in your scenic spot, you should be able to sell a lot, I can make a lot of money when I go, and you still give me an extra salary?"

"Yes, you will be paid an extra salary, but the price of straw cannot be set that way. For example, the grasshopper you braided, the cost price of the material is only five cents, mainly because the manual fee is valuable, and it is cost-effective for you to sell it for fifteen yuan, but if you sell it in my scenic spot, you will sell it for three to five yuan, and then for example, the peacock, you sell it for less than ten yuan, let's take the road of small profits and quick turnover, how about it?" Xu Fang asked.

Uncle straw pondered in his heart, there were indeed many people who asked the price before, and many people who asked the price felt that it was a little expensive, if the price could be lowered, the sales would definitely go up. Although I don't make a lot of money, it shouldn't be a big problem to sell two or three hundred a day, right? With the basic salary of 7,000 yuan given by others, the monthly income is close to 20,000 yuan.

This high-salary income suddenly made the straw weaving uncle moved.

But he didn't know Xu Fang's identity very well, and it was not appropriate to suspect someone's identity in person, and Uncle Straw was a little embarrassed for a while.

Xu Fang, an ordinary person, didn't understand what this uncle thought, and said with a smile: "Uncle, I don't need you to answer me immediately." In this way, you can think about it in the past two days, and by the way, you can check whether our Yuehai Village Scenic Area is good or not on the Internet. If you don't want to go, forget it, if you want to go, you can give me a call. I'll give you a promise, I'll help you book a ticket to southern Fujian, and the first month's salary can be advanced, and I don't need to lie to you about anything. My phone number is on the business card, and you can call me when you have the result. ”

"No problem. Uncle Straw immediately nodded: "I'll call you in three days." ”

"Thanks, uncle. Xu Fang arched his hand: "Happy New Year, uncle, good fortune, I will give you a New Year's greeting in advance." ”

"You're welcome, young man, and you have a good New Year. Uncle said simply.

After saying goodbye to the uncle, Lin Xiangxue smiled and said, "This uncle is very likely to come over." ”

"Well, he has ideas, but it's not certain whether he will come or not, people reach a certain age, and there are many things to consider. If the relatives are all in Yanjing, then there are more things to consider. Xu Fang said with emotion.

"You have a point, then pray that he is willing to come. Lin Xiangxue smiled: "Who will contact next?"

"Look at the dough kneader. Xu Fang pulled Lin Xiangxue towards a stall not far away.

The people who knead the dough here are slightly more technical. The noodles here are colorful, and the things that come out are also varied. There are familiar characters such as Sun Wukong, Jiang Taigong Fishing, Seven Fairies, Taishang Laojun, etc., and they can also pinch out various animals.

And because the color is enough, the pinched noodles are more vivid and more popular. There are obviously a little more onlookers here than there are people from Uncle Straw.

However, Rao is like this, there are still many people who watch it, and few people who are willing to buy it......

The dough kneader is also an uncle, about fifty years old, wearing an ordinary army green coat, and his family conditions should be average.

Xu Fang walked over, picked up the role of Sun Wukong, and asked gently, "Uncle, how can this monkey be sold?"

"Twenty. The uncle looked at him.

"What about this Jiang Taigong fishing?" Xu Fang asked again.

"Twenty-five. The uncle quoted another price.

Xu Fang nodded slightly, vaguely understanding why everyone saw more and bought less.

In fact, the decline of traditional handicrafts is indeed the inevitable development of history. How convenient is machine production now? Just like this Monkey King's noodle man, if there is a production mold, mass production with a machine, the cost of materials is only one dollar, and after production plus various packaging, two yuan can be wholesaled. The price of external retail is earned by selling for five yuan.

Although twenty or thirty yuan is not much for modern people, people are accustomed to this kind of price, and they think that this price is a bit unjust, and it is reasonable that there are few people who buy it.

But for these craftsmen, the production efficiency is definitely not as high as the machine, and the time cost is on the table, and the sale is too cheap, obviously the time cost can't keep up. But if you want to make a profit, the price you sell may not be acceptable, and it is indeed a pity that our handicraft treasures are gradually declining.

Buying a grandson monkey with a smile, Xu Fangcai asked, "Uncle, do you usually work as a dough pincher?"

"How can this be, how many people usually buy noodles, I sell fruits. "Xu Fang just bought something, and the noodle kneading uncle was also very polite to Xu Fang.
