Chapter 40 Thangka Ghee Flowers

After breakfast the next day, Li Hao drove Xiaoxia to Ma Bufang's mansion, saying that he would call her to pick her up when she finished reading. Back in the office, part-time financial accountant Zhang was checking the financial accounts with Yang Qianxun, Li Hao took out some invoices for refueling and tolls from his purse, and handed them to Yang Qianxun, Yang Qianxun said: "We haven't started to make money yet, from this financial account, renting a house, renting an office, buying household and office supplies, plus running around to investigate, has used more than 200,000 yuan, basically we are spending money, and Xiao Liu has reimbursed him for the money." Does this need to be adjusted? ”

Li Hao said: "Xiao Liu didn't have much money, don't be embarrassed for him, when we make money, we will get back the fees we paid in advance." ”

Accountant Zhang sat at the desk on the side, doing his own thing quietly, and when he was done, he didn't delay, and left after saying goodbye to them. Yang Qianxun immediately stopped her: "Accountant Zhang, don't leave yet, you haven't got your salary last month." ”

Accountant Zhang came back again, waited for Yang Qianxun to take the money to her, signed a form again, and then walked out of the office. Yang Qianxun discussed with Li Hao again: "You see we started to get busy after we got the car, and we can't always stay in the office when we get busy, should we recruit an office clerk first, help clean the office, receive visitors, know some simple office software, can make some forms, print documents, and the most important thing is that when we go out, she can stick to the office." ”

Li Hao said: "There is no need at the moment, but you can release the news first, and we will find it slowly, and we can find a suitable one within a month." ”

Yang Qianxun agreed and began to register and publish recruitment information on the Qinghai Talent Network.

Until five o'clock in the afternoon, he didn't receive a call from Li Xiaoxia, Yang Qianxun was a little worried, Li Hao also looked at his watch from time to time, Yang Qianxun picked up his mobile phone and called her: "Xiaoxia, where are you?" ”

"I'm home." Xiaoxia said, "I just came back. You're not coming back? I bought something delicious. ”

Yang Qianxun put down the phone and said to Li Hao: "It's past five o'clock, we went home, and Xiaoxia went home by herself." ”

On the eve of the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Li Hao said to Xiaoxia and Yang Qianxun: "I saw from the Internet this afternoon that every year during the Lantern Festival, there is a butter flower exhibition in Taer Temple, and this year's ghee flower exhibition costs millions of yuan. ”

Li Xiaoxia immediately shouted happily: "Okay, okay, I'm going to leave the day after tomorrow, it's too late to go." ”

At nine o'clock in the morning of the Lantern Festival, the three of them drove to the Taer Temple in Huangzhong, on the street near the Taer Temple, the car in front of them had blocked the road, opened the window and looked out, in front of it was a sea of traffic and people, it seemed that if you went forward, it would be blocked inside, Li Hao decisively turned a corner, turned onto another road, and then approached forward, and the road before the turn was not much different. So he discussed with Yang Qianxun and Xiaoxia: "Let's just find a parking place near here and get off the car and walk over, otherwise the car will be blocked and I don't know when it will pass." ”

The two agreed, Li Hao saw a hotel in front of him, so he drove in, the three got out of the car, Li Hao took the two to the lobby on the first floor of the hotel for a turn, and five minutes later left the hotel, and walked to Taer Temple with his bag. Li Xiaoxia asked Li Hao curiously: "Brother, why do you have to sit in for so long?" ”

Li Hao said: "Didn't you see that there was a guard at the gate? We simply parked, he definitely did not agree or charged, we went to the accommodation is different. ”

Li Xiaoxia grinned and said, "Be careful about this! ”

Three people followed the flow of people while watching the special gifts sold on the roadside stalls, while walking to the Taer Temple, in front of a handmade thangka shop, Li Xiaoxia stopped, called Yang Qianxun and Li Hao, the three of them walked into the store, the small shop area is not large, there are less than 30 square meters, the wall is full of thangkas that have been made, and the ground is lined up against the wall with hundreds of completed and unfinished paintings. The two young masters, the three of them who didn't even look at it, were busy with the works in their hands without anyone in their eyes. On a small table full of miscellaneous items, there was a stack of colorful propaganda pages, and Yang Qianxun went over to pick one up and looked at it carefully.

Thangka is also called Tangga, Thangka, Tibetan transliteration of the name. It is a unique art form of painting in Tibetan culture, with distinctive national characteristics, strong religious colors and unique artistic style, and the subject matter involves many fields such as Tibetan history, politics, culture and social life.

Thangka depicts the world of the sacred Buddha with bright colors, the pigments are all traditionally made of gold, silver, pearls, agate, coral, turquoise, malachite, cinnabar and other precious mineral gems and saffron, rhubarb, indigo and other plants as pigments, in order to show its sacredness, these natural raw materials ensure that the painted thangka color is bright, dazzling, although after hundreds of years, it is still bright and bright, so it is known as the treasure of Chinese national painting art, known as the "encyclopedia" of the Tibetan people, It is also a precious intangible cultural heritage in the folk art of the Chinese nation. Look at the back of the color page: the painting of thangka is demanding and complicated, and must be carried out in accordance with the rituals in the scriptures and the requirements of the guru, including the pre-painting ceremony, the production of the canvas, the composition of the draft, the coloring and dyeing, the groove line shaping, the paving of gold and silver, the opening of the eyes, the sewing and opening of the light, and a complete set of process procedures. So far, all thangkas are handmade.

After looking at it for a while, in Li Xiaoxia's reluctant eyes, the three of them went to the next store. This shop also makes and sells Tibetan products. The walls are covered with paintings of thangkas and other crafts, such as embroidery and silk inlay. Xiaoxia wanted to buy a pair, but Li Hao refused: "Our car is parked too far, and we have to go to Taer Temple later, so many people can't bring a picture." Xiaoxia still insisted, Yang Qianxun said: "Since you want to buy it, let's buy some practical souvenirs." After speaking, he pulled her to the shelf full of shawls hanging at the door, "How beautiful do you see these Tibetan-style shawls?" Now you can use it, or you can buy it to give it to your classmates and friends, isn't it great? ”

Xiaoxia turned regret into joy: "I'll buy six yuan, one for each of my dormitory classmates and my two good friends." Through bargaining, six shawls were purchased for a hundred yuan, and Xiaoxia packed them in her own leather bag, and the three of them stopped lingering in the store, and quickened their pace to squeeze into the crowd that flocked to Ta'er Temple.

Ghee flower is a special technique of using ghee (butter) to shape statues, and it is one of the three unique (ghee flowers, murals, and pile embroidery) of Taer Temple. It is made with a complete set of institutions and scientific procedures. Every year during the Lantern Festival, the temple has two institutions dedicated to making ghee flowers, commonly known as "Upper Flower Courtyard" and "Lower Flower Garden" competing with each other. Its design and production are passed down from master to apprentice. Ghee flower is a collection of dough sculpture, clay sculpture, sculpture of the long religious art treasures, is a unique butter shaping art in Tibetan culture.

This year, the main Buddha statue of the butter flower in the Shanghua Temple is Manjushri Bodhisattva, and the theme content is composed of two major sections: "Two Sacred and Six Solemn" and "Eighteen Arhats Crossing the Sea". Other Buddha statues, figures, landscapes, pavilions, birds and animals, flowers and trees made of ghee and other artistic masterpieces, the image is realistic, the colors are rich and gorgeous, which makes people breathtaking, benefits a lot, and sighs the magic of the creation of the world.

The day ended in a hurry during the tour of Taer Temple, and Li Hao took the exhausted Yang Qianxun and Li Xiaoxia back to Xining. On the sixteenth day of the first month, Li Hao and Yang Qianxun sent Li Xiaoxia, who had already booked a ticket, to Ping'an Airport, wishing Xiaoxia a safe arrival at her Nanchang University.

Returning from the airport, they went directly to the Yuanda Qinghai Liberation Automobile Sales Company, and went to Zheng Linlin's office, where smoke was billowing, and several cigarette guns were spitting smoke in the room, the two sat down, Zheng Shulin came over and handed over a cigarette, Li Hao waved his hand and refused: "I'm sorry, I don't smoke." Today, let's talk about ordering a car. ”

Several other people in the room walked out of the office, Zheng Shulin opened the window, the smoke in the room dispersed a lot, Zheng Shulin sat back at his desk, and said with a smile: "We have made a plan the day before yesterday and reported to the headquarters." The first batch of ten front four and eight liberated 336 horsepower warehouse trucks. As he spoke, he took out the picture and pointed it out to Li Hao: "It's this kind of iron gray, I think that if you pull coal in this color, it won't look too dirty, and it's easy to clean." ”

Li Hao took a closer look, handed the picture to Yang Qianxun, and then said: "Will I order ten more dump trucks in the next batch, will it have any impact on our contract?" ”

Zheng Shulin waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter, no matter what kind of car it is, you can bring up enough fifty cars." ”

"We contacted an earthmoving company that started using dump trucks in April, and we did it in Xining. There are other coal mines that also need dump trucks, so let's come in batches when the time comes. Li Hao said.

Zheng Linlin said: "You need a dump truck, have you decided what you need?" ”

"Not yet, isn't this coming to you!"

Zheng Shulin immediately shouted loudly outside: "Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan!" ”

After a while, a handsome boy in his twenties walked in and asked, "Mr. Zheng, what's the matter?" ”

"You take Mr. Li and Mr. Yang to our parking lot to see the batch of dump trucks that came to Jiefang Xinwei, take the key to open the door, and introduce them in detail." After Zheng Forest finished speaking, Xiao Yan agreed, went out of the office again, and turned back after a while to call them: "Mr. Li, Mr. Yang, follow me to have a look?" ”

The two followed Xiao Yan to the yard where they parked, and Xiao Yan led them to a big red dump truck, opened the door and asked Li Hao to go up. Li Hao sat in the cab, and Xiao Yan got into the passenger seat from the other side, and introduced Li Hao in detail. Yang Qianxun was next to the car, looking at the car carefully. Five minutes later, Li Hao got out of the car. Xiao Yan turned around from the other side, and his mouth was still saying: "Although it is a newly developed brand, the technology is mature enough, and the horsepower is enough, 336 horsepower, there is no problem in pulling coal and earthwork." And now the price is also cheap, only 315,000 yuan, because you order more, our Zheng Zheng has already said that we will sell it to you at the price of 295,000 yuan. Of course, the invoice of the car must be issued at the original price, otherwise it will be difficult to file taxes. ”

Li Hao said: "We have not used this kind of car either, but I believe that FAW's technology should be mature enough, is the engine Xichai or Weichai?" ”

Xiao Yan said: "It's Xichai." ”

"Xichai's engine doesn't seem to be as good as Weichai, right? I heard the driver say that it is easy to get into the dust, and the seal is not good, right? ”

"Actually, it's all about the same, but the liberation cars now use Xichai engines. Xichai's after-sales service is also good, there are many service points in Qinghai, Delingha, Golmud and even Tianjun, and it is not very clear whether there is one in the Muli mine. ”

After watching the dump truck, he went back to the office and talked with Zheng Linlin for a while, mainly emphasizing the delivery time of the first batch of vehicles, and the two left Yuanda Qinghai Jiefang Automobile Sales Company.
