Chapter 22 Use bamboo strips to make a brush
In addition, the songs in "The Legend of the White Snake" have also attracted the attention of some singers, musicians, and directors in the entertainment industry.
They all think that both "Bai Suzhen under the Mountain of Qingcheng" and "Love" are of high quality.
What's more critical is that the author, Li Xianyu, seems to be very young.
Such a musician is definitely worth paying attention to.
And different people have different purposes.

Qin Yuying's roommates were excited.
"I'm going to be famous, I'm going to be famous. Yuying, you're really going to be famous. A lot of people are talking about you. ”
Qin Yuying shook her head and said, "There are a lot of people." Everyone is basically talking about "The Legend of the White Snake" and Mr. Xianyu. I only have a few casual conversations. ”
The roommates were still excited, saying, "That's pretty good!" For a rookie singer, the first song has such a popularity, it has been very successful, okay? And now it's just getting started. By the time "The Legend of the White Snake" is serialized, you will definitely be famous. ”
This time, Qin Yuying nodded. Of course, she was very happy in her heart.
Still, she knew it wasn't because of how good she was. She just touched Li Xianyu's light.
So, he said, "I'm just lucky to be touched by Mr. Xianyu's light." ”
The roommate said, "It's a coincidence." Chance is often more important than strength. So, Yuying, since you already have such an opportunity, it is a matter of time before you become a star singer. ”
Qin Yuying smiled and said, "Let it be." I don't force this. ”
The roommates all nodded. Qin Yuying's mentality is very good.

Su Zimo looked at the various data changes in "The Legend of the White Snake" and was very excited.
She knew that once the book was released, it would definitely become a hit.
Although it cannot be said that it has been a fire yet, looking at the current data change trend, the probability of a fire is quite large.
It's not impossible to even become a phenomenal work!
I happened to go to the West Lake Broken Bridge that day, and my luck was so good!
You must know that a phenomenal work is absolutely unattainable.
Su Zimo only felt that he was unprecedentedly lucky at this time.

Longmen Village.
Li Xianyu noticed that the collection of "The Legend of the White Snake" had exceeded 200,000 in less than an hour after the book was released.
Although there are reasons for the pop-up recommendation, this result can still be said to be quite good.
The classics of the past life will not be dusted in this world.
This made Li Xianyu very happy.
In the book review area, Li Xianyu also watched it with great interest for a while.
Most readers' reviews are positive.
And then a lot of readers are asking where is he now? Will you go to the West Lake Broken Bridge to talk about "The Legend of the White Snake" and so on?
Li Xianyu randomly selected a reader's question to answer, and then put the answer at the top of the book review area.
Telling readers that they have returned to their rural hometown and plan to live in their hometown for a long time is nothing.
After that, Li Xianyu withdrew from the book review area.
"Xiaoyu, are you at home?" It just so happened that at this time, Ling Zhongchi's voice came from downstairs.
"Yes."
Li Xianyu replied as he got up and walked out of the room to the balcony of the living room.
I saw Ling Zhongchi standing in the courtyard, still holding a firewood knife in his hand.
"I'll chop a piece of bamboo and go back. The brush handle at home is badly worn. Going to make two new ones. After Ling Zhongchi saw Li Xianyu, he said again.
On the right side of Li Xianyu's yard is a bamboo forest.
Therefore, if Ling Zhongchi wants to use bamboo, he usually cuts it here at Li Xianyu.
Li Xianyu smiled: "Uncle Ling, you can just cut it casually." ”
Ling Zhongchi also smiled: "Then I have to tell you first!" Then I'll cut it. ”
Li Xianyu said: "Just cut it." ”
Ling Zhongchi laughed, then turned around and walked out of the courtyard and walked towards the bamboo forest on the right.
Li Xianyu was interested, and he also turned around and went downstairs.
He's going to see it too.
The brush handle is a very common and very important washing tool in rural areas.
It is made of bamboo strips.
Dozens of small slender pieces of bamboo are broken into filaments and then tied into a cylinder.
The length generally ranges from 20 cm to 40 cm.
The diameter is just enough to be held by one hand.
The brush handle is mainly used to wash the pot.
Very easy to use.
Much better than those specialized pot brushes in the city.
And it doesn't stick to oil at all.
It is not too difficult to make a brush with bamboo strips. Li Xianyu barely managed to do it.
However, to make a brush handle easy to use, it is still very technical.
Only a skilled craftsman can make a very good brush.
And Ling Zhongchi's skills are very exquisite.
Li Xianyu followed Ling Zhongchi into the bamboo forest.
These bamboos are all moso bamboos.
Moso bamboo has excellent characteristics and is very suitable for rural areas to be used for weaving various tools.
However, because of the age of the bamboos in a bamboo forest, it is not even to eat.
The difference in the quality of bamboo of different ages is considerable.
Therefore, it is necessary to select the most suitable bamboo for the age according to the different needs of the tools to be made.
This is a great test of the craftsman's eye for choosing bamboo.
Only an experienced craftsman can select the most suitable bamboo.
After taking a turn in the bamboo forest, Ling Zhongchi chose a bamboo.
Then cut directly with a firewood knife.
While chopping, he also said to Li Xianyu, "This bamboo has been around for about five years." Bamboo of this age is perfect for making brushes. ”
Li Xianyu's eyes lit up, and then he stared at the bamboo for a long time.
I don't see why it's coming.
He could only shake his head helplessly, experience was indeed not something he could have now.
"By the way, Uncle Ling, is the moso bamboo the fastest growing among all the bamboos?" Li Xianyu was suddenly a little curious about this question.
He remembered that it should be.
Ling Zhongchi nodded and said, "Basically, it can be said that it is the fastest grown." It only takes two months for a bamboo shoot like this to grow into a 20-meter-tall bamboo. ”
Li Xianyu nodded, sure enough.
It grows to twenty meters tall in two months. At the peak of growth, it can grow up to one meter in one day and night.
This speed can only be said to be amazing in nature.
Soon, Ling Zhongchi cut the bamboo.
Li Xianyu stepped forward to help, and the two of them dragged the bamboo to the ground with great force.
Then use a firewood knife to remove all the bamboo branches.
These bamboo shoots are dried and can be used as firewood.
Bundled into small handfuls, very good burning.
After that, Ling Zhongchi carried the bamboo out of the bamboo forest and walked home.
Li Xianyu also followed.
Anyway, there's nothing to do now, let's go and see Ling Zhongchi to do a brush.
He was actually very interested in watching the village craftsmen make all kinds of tools out of bamboo strips.
It's interesting to watch.
And using bamboo strips to weave various tools is also a very old traditional skill.
But it's a pity that there are fewer and fewer craftsmen now.
Li Xianyu couldn't help but be a little worried, afraid of when this ancient traditional skill would disappear completely.
Hopefully, there won't be a day when it will disappear.
