Luo Changqing and Yue Lan lined up at the end, looking at the judges sitting on both sides of the county order, Gu Shopkeeper half leaned on the back of the chair, and the porcelain cup did not leave his hand.

On the right is a middle-aged woman, with Zhao Ji Bun Shop written on the card in front of her, Luo Changqing is no stranger to her, she helped Meng Xun to mention the family matter to the daughter of Aunt Zhao, but she refused.

On the other side, there are many two families, they are very close to each other, they look like a family, they are indeed a family, the Yang family bamboo and the Shen family fan industry are in-laws, but Shen Qianqian is sitting in the middle, but Yang Lianqi is closer.

The county magistrate looked left and right, and sighed slightly: "This year is the four judges, in case there is a disagreement, how should it be judged?" ”

The county replied: "Isn't there still an adult?" ”

Master Li immediately frowned even tighter: "It's too troublesome, it's better not to have such a thing." ”

The county Cheng comprehended and glanced at both sides a few times, and the people present looked back one after another, and also said that they understood.

There are no special rules for the first round of craft selection, and the winners and losers are determined by the judges' choice according to the marks on the bamboo sticks.

But seeing Lord Li raise his hand, the county said, "The game begins." ”

"Let's take a look at the bamboo sticks they draw, the first team, the Tianganjia starts, and the corresponding six squares of the earth branch all stand out."

Six paper kite workshop contestants walked forward to the middle of the grass and lifted the paper kites respectively.

Almost all the paper kite workshops in Weiyuan County are Chen school, because the teachers are out of the same type of appearance are not too much, just look at the six paper kites in this column, there are five hard-winged sand swallows, and there are even two identical five-fish pictures in the five: they tacitly sketched the goldfish with five different colors on the wings, tails and abdomen of the sand swallows.

This is a common and very easy to sell type of sand swallow, five fish refers to children, teenagers, girls, the elderly and husband and wife, just a harmonious and happy family, almost every family in Weiyuan County has such a five fish.

However, although the shape is similar, fortunately, there is still a difference between masked painting and paint matching, and this row of paper kites is arranged together, like colorful flowers, which makes people can't help but be amazed.

"The first group, Zi to Shen, these two families came forward."

After the county Cheng finished speaking, he saw that one of the five fish and the other Fuyun Shayan were carried forward and displayed one by one in front of Lord Li and the four judges.

After Shen Yang and his family looked at each other briefly, they whispered in the back, and Aunt Zhao looked at the two paper kites, and then leaned back on the chair calmly.

Shopkeeper Gu stood up, looked at them carefully over and over again very carefully, and then turned his head sideways to the people beside him: "Which one do you think is better?" ”

"Fuyun." Aunt Zhao was straightforward.

"Well, the hero sees the same thing." The shopkeeper Gu was pleased: "This Fuyun is ingenious, using a bat into the painting, I never thought that the bat can also be painted in red, and it is so beautifully painted, and the brown stroke complements each other, there is no sense of disobedience, and the bat's wings are still hanging outside the mask, like a lace outline, so that the whole paper kite looks like a sand swallow and is not similar, it is really exquisite, Boss Zhao, do you say yes, do you have anything else to add?" ”

Aunt Zhao nodded blankly: "Mainly because...... Isn't there another five fish over there, and there's no need to keep two of the same thing? ”

Shopkeeper Gu's hand holding the porcelain cup shook and almost spilled the tea.

After speaking, Shen and Yang had finished talking to each other, and the county said: "Please judge write what you like on the white paper in front of you, and then show it for everyone to see." ”

Several people raised their pens one after another.

On the four sheets of paper, three of them were written with the word "Jiashen", and the other was written with the word "Jiasheng".

The county Cheng pondered for a while about the word "Jiaosheng" of Aunt Zhao, and announced loudly: "In this round, Jiashen, Linglongfang, all four votes won." ”

The shopkeeper of Linglong Fang smiled and came to leave with his own Fuyun paper kite.

"The second group, Jia Chen, Jia Yin ......"

All kinds of paper kites appear in turn, the four people have different judging criteria, Gu shopkeeper can see some of the structure and design of the doorway, Zhao Auntie's rare color is pleasing to the eye, Shen Yang and the two families pay more attention to the meaning, occasionally disagreement, but fortunately, there is no evenly contested struggle, all the way to the selection, there is not much to discuss and hesitate.

Seeing that the queue of participants entered the venue in an orderly manner, Yue Lan asked the people around him: "What are our numbers?" ”

Luo Changqing held the bamboo stick: "Sihai, the sixth team." ”

"It's the last team." Yue Lan glanced at the peacock not far away, and shook his head secretly, "It's best not to go to Hongyuan Fang." ”

"Originally, I wasn't worried, but look at these judges...... I also hope that I don't face Hongyuanfang, just go through the first round, the second round is released, and when it is a technical competition, the victory or defeat will be very clear. ”

Hearing this, Yue Lan clasped his hands.

The county Cheng was shouting: "The fifth team, Tiangan Wu Liufang is out of the ranks." ”

The next team is on them.

He was a little nervous.

And I saw that the peacock was carried into the arena in a hurry.

It seemed that Hongyuanfang was in the fifth team, and he relaxed in an instant.

If it's not on Hongyuanfang, their chances of winning are doubled, not because they don't have confidence in their paper kites, but because the word "justice" placed in front of the judges' table is really not very fair.

The peacocks of Hongyuanfang had almost no objections, and all four votes passed, which was also fair, after all, the paper kite in their group didn't even have its wings tied, and when it was presented, its wings were soft, like a dead swallow that had been pecked out by a peacock.

The shopkeeper of this "dead swallow" was eliminated, and he was very calm, probably expected, and he came to "give people away".

Only Luo Changqing stared at the "dead swallow" and sighed softly: "It's a pity, it's a pity." ”

"What a pity?" People close to me asked.

"This paper kite has the shadow of the soft wings of the Tang faction."

"You mean the Tang faction that has no news?" Yue Lan looked over, but saw that the shopkeeper had already disappeared into the crowd with the "Dead Swallow", he didn't see anything, only followed that direction, and saw that the shopkeeper Gu also shook his head silently, moved his mouth, and probably said: "It's a pity, it's a pity." ”

His expression seemed to be more sorry than Master's.

The sixth team appeared on the stage, and the two compared each other, and the two were ugly.

The ugly corresponding to Changqingzhai is a pair of wings and flying swallows.

As soon as the pair of swallows were taken out, the others didn't react much, but Shopkeeper Gu and Luo Changqing were taken aback.

It is not common to compare wings with Feiyan, to be exact, before Xiaofeng competed with people last time, it did not appear in Weiyuan County at all.

Shopkeeper Gu glanced at Luo Changqing, Luo Changqing could only shake his head helplessly, the shape of Shuangyan flying together was indeed something she bothered to come up with, but she couldn't stand up and say that this could only be thought of by herself.

What's more, the double swallow paper kite in front of me, in addition to being two swallows, is painted with flowers of the four seasons, peony lotus, chrysanthemum and plum colors, and her last time the upside-down picture is a completely different style, except for her and Gu shopkeeper This kind of insider can see the imitation, and some of the people who were also present last time, no one can associate with the two.

This is the ingenuity and cunning of imitation creativity, after rendering, it is more gorgeous than the things that are imitated, if Luo Changqing is now asked to take the Biyi Yan she made for Xiaofeng and compare it with this one, it may not be able to beat it in the eyes of everyone.

Gu shopkeeper has a lot of grievances for her, she smiled indifferently, it doesn't matter secretly, what can be emulated can only be the skin, even if it is a temporary scenery, it is destined to not go far, and with real technology and skills, it is impossible to be completely imitated.

She took out the paper kite from the embroidery bag.

Several of the judges stood up.

The surrounding people also took a few steps forward and got closer.

It's not that you're amazed at first glance, but it's ...... It's not closer, so I can't see it clearly.

It was a tiny, tiny paper kite, and she had to get close to see it on the stand in front of the judges.

But "although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs", if it is not known that it is a paper kite, I think that this is a butterfly that should be lingering in the flowers, and inadvertently falls into the noisy crowd, taps the table, and the next moment it will fly away.

There are a lot of butterfly-shaped paper kites, and there are several of them in the competition today, but they will all do another processing on the mask, draw colorful patterns of flowers, and will not really do according to the patterns of butterflies, not to mention, the butterflies they make are the size of an eagle, and the butterfly in front of them is not only the size of a real butterfly, but also the dark pattern of the wings, the spiral pattern on the back of the abdomen, and the tentacles that tremble slightly with the wind, are all lifelike, embarrassing to be true or false.

Aunt Zhao suspected that the wings were taken down from the real butterfly, she took it in her hand and pinched it, and it took a while to confirm that it was the silk surface that was supported by the bamboo silk, and the pattern on the silk surface was paint, she pressed the butterfly's abdomen again, touched some silk cotton, and finally relaxed a little, just about to put down the paper kite, thought about it, and went to dust the two tentacles.

After a few dusting strokes, she asked in a muffled voice, "What is this made of?" ”

Luo Changqing replied: "Speaking of which, thanks to Boss Zhao, this tentacle is taken out of the cage drawer in your bun shop, I bought buns from you some time ago, and I saw that you lost an abandoned cage drawer, and I took out some usable materials from it." ”

"Cage drawer?" The other party was puzzled, "Isn't the cage drawer made of ordinary bamboo, don't think I don't understand, how can bamboo be so soft?" ”

"It is true that the bamboo is not soft, but the cage drawer has been steamed by water vapor for a long time, and the bamboo silk used to weave the cage drawer has already been changed."

Aunt Zhao thought about her cage drawers for a while, she didn't pay attention to them on weekdays, but now she thinks about it carefully, it seems to be like this.

But, it's not right, she said: "The bamboo silk under the steaming cage drawer is the same as the thread, and it can't stand at all, can you still shake it?" ”

"That's right, so you can't choose the bamboo wire at the bottom of the cage drawer, but choose the edge one, which is not only soaked in water vapor, but also has not been boiled in water, and the flexibility and toughness are just right."

"I see, I think the smaller this thing is, the harder it is to make." Aunt Zhao suddenly realized, "Miss Luo, you are really capable, I chose you, how many numbers are you?" ”

The county reminded on the side: "Sihai." ”

"Okay, got it." She bowed her head and took the pen and wrote their signature numbers in a fluttering manner.

Luo Changqing looked at the two words "four evils" that came out, and lowered his head sullenly.

Aunt Zhao didn't care, writing, anyway, it's for people to see, as long as others can understand what she means.

After she put down the pen, she looked at the person next to her: "Old Gu, who do you choose?" ”
