Chapter 114: The Craftsman

Smithing is an ancient craft that has since almost disappeared. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Except for some of the handicrafts, the traditional craftsmen in the true sense of the word have all been made old, and most of them have not left successors. They are generally ancestral crafts that have been passed down from generation to generation. Unlike carpenters, they make large things, they generally do delicate things, but they are also indispensable in daily life.

Unfortunately, with the advent of plastic products, the products are almost eliminated. Nowadays, everyone uses such as baskets, baskets, dustpans, baskets, baskets, sieves, dustpans, etc. All are made of bamboo. Therefore, the bamboo forest of every household is also an important property, and without bamboo, it can be said that there is no way to live and work. But although their creations are delicate and durable, they are too small to be worth a few dollars. Therefore, there is only one carpenter in the whole village, and they are still very idle on weekdays, and only the villagers come back to them if they lack something.

The craftsman's surname is Yu, and the old man Yu is too old to see with his eyes, and now it is mainly the Yu family and the sons who are taking the work. This matter was entrusted to the second uncle to operate - he was a generalist, knew a little bit of everything, and could communicate with the craftsman. If it was replaced by the second uncle, I didn't know the doorway. When the second uncle found Master Yu in the field, he was complaining to others that it had not opened for half a year, and who would have thought that a big business would come to the door.

After the greetings, the second uncle took out the sketch drawn by Yang Xiaobei and showed it to Master Yu. "Huh, what is this? We haven't done it yet!" Master Yu looked at this basket that didn't look like a basket, and the basket didn't look like a basket, and he was a little worried. What they have passed down from their ancestors, it has a statute. Which craftsman is good at what to do, which craftsman is what the type of, insiders know at a glance, and it is generally not allowed to change.

"What is this? Before liberation, you worked like this? The clothes you wore and the food you ate before were the same as now? Isn't it just a new thing, and I came to you with our brothers. You hurry up and find a way to make it out. If my little sister is satisfied, this business is not small!" The second uncle disagreed, in his opinion, why is the business of the craftsman family getting worse and worse? It is because there is no new idea! He couldn't think of these things before, but as soon as the little sister comes back, she can make money by the way, isn't it much better than sticking to the fields before?

In Master Yu's view, it is considered a big business to have ten or eight pieces, and the average villager comes to do two or three kinds of business. As a result, the second uncle spit out a "100 first!" and knocked Master Yu unconscious.

"It's done!" He patted his thigh, "I'll do it tonight, and I'll bring you some samples tomorrow!" 100 pieces! Even if one is only one dollar, that's ten pieces of unity! With his craftsmanship, it is not a problem to rush out such a basket in one night. When he got off work, he took a detour to the mountains to cut bamboo and bring it back.

When it came time to do it, he also made a difficulty. To say that Master Yu has been a craftsman for decades, he really hasn't done anything new. After he has chopped the bamboo, it is divided into green bamboo slices and yellow bamboo slices. Then, according to the need, the bamboo bark part is cut into green slices or green slices. The slices should be uniform in thickness and clear in blue and white. Then make different parts of it into a variety of different grates. The green silk of bamboo is flexible and extremely elastic, and can be cut into thinner than a hair, which is most suitable for weaving fine and delicate baskets, and processing them into all kinds of beautiful crafts.

The basic skills of a carpenter include: chopping, sawing, cutting, cutting, pulling, prying, weaving, weaving, sharpening, and grinding. Skilled old craftsmen should pay attention to the flat shoulders that are cut and have the right toughness, the woven sieves should be delicate and beautiful, and the square and circumferential circles should be square, and the woven mats should be smooth and delicate, cool and comfortable. The craftsman's craft is a meticulous work, and it takes years of training to reach the level of proficiency, but Master Yu still doesn't know where to start after fiddling with it for a long time, so he has to ask his father for advice.

"You useless thing! How many times have I told you, you have to use your heart and brain to make things! You can't do it if you change it, have you been eaten by dogs for so many years?" Although he is a lot older, Master Yu is still scolded by his father. Yes, after taking the job, my brain was eaten by a dog, and I was tired and didn't love it!

Old man Yu is so angry that he can't do it, his son is a wooden head, and he is more than successful and not enterprising. When he taught, he didn't change a word. The craftsmanship is good, but I don't have any ideas at all. The grandson has a good brain, but he doesn't like to do this craft, and he is reluctant every time. Alas, there is no one to follow!

After being sentimental for a long time, the old man Yu leaned on the dim oil lamp and struggled to read the sketch. Although his eyes were gone, he could tell what it was like at a glance. Isn't it just a thing? He can make it up if he fumbles around. Called the grandson on the side to come over and ask him, he also felt that there was no problem, their grandfather and grandson discussed it in a good way, so that Master Yu couldn't help but doubt his IQ - could it be that his brain was really eaten by a dog?

Yang Xiaobei, who got the fruit basket the next day, was very satisfied with this small and delicate fruit basket. By the way, the things made by a craftsman are already up to the level of "works of art." She instructed that 100 fruit baskets should be prepared according to this size level. Freshly ripen fruits and vegetables are freshly picked and put into baskets, filled with fresh grass, melon leaves, etc. Make a beautiful fruit and vegetable basket.

When the second uncle saw the finished product, the green watermelon in the green bamboo basket, the yellow-orange-orange corn, the small and lovely cherry tomatoes, and the strangely shaped okra, etc., the colorful and purple fruits and vegetables reflected each other, lying on the green leaves and grass, as if the freshly picked dew was still on it. At first glance, it looks beautiful and noble. couldn't help but be convinced by Yang Xiaobei again. How can just a few ordinary things be packaged and turned into a completely different feeling?

"How's it going!Is it high-end and high-end, low-key luxury has connotation!" Yang Xiaobei triumphantly begged for praise. She is really a genius, just buy a few packets of seeds, there are all kinds of colors, and the harvest cycle is about the same. So she had the idea to come up with a package to sell it, but the visual effect was not too good, and even she herself was amazed.

…… Well, for Yang Xiaobei, who often comes up with strange words, everyone selectively ignores them. Yi Huifen did a good job of handiwork, and her aesthetics were also thrown out of Yang Xiaobei, that is, Yang Xiaobei packed a basket, and she knew what she was doing. took over immediately, and the position was neat and more beautiful than Yang Xiaobei's. Yang Xiaobei, who couldn't show off, was slapped in the face every minute, uh...... Anyway, it's my own mother, normal!

As soon as this trick came out, the effect was extraordinary. Zhou Qizheng took these carefully prepared fruit and vegetable baskets to sell, and people saw that he was dressed like a human being, and he was carrying such a high-end fruit basket in his hand, so there was no need to mention it when he entered the door, even when he went to the procurement and the person in charge, he also expressed a strong interest in these fruit and vegetable baskets.

The brand that Zhou Pin is playing is Xudian Town Xinxing Agricultural Cooperative, not too formal. Because the farmers have cultivated high-end vegetables and fruits brought back from Puhai and abroad, they are specially given to everyone to try. Rest assured, we are a key agricultural unit supported by the government and cooperated by farmers, and these varieties are carefully selected, nutritious and have a good taste. This year's output is small, there is no way to supply our customers, so I specially sent a little sample to everyone.
