Chapter Twenty-Three: The Breakthrough Begins
"Really? Teacher Xia Qing, do you want to be friends with me? Although I'm not a fan of yours, I've also seen the movies you made, and your acting skills are really good, and when I went to the theater to watch your "Sunset", I cried miserably.
Wow, I'm so happy! Come and participate in the show, you can not only get an idol's autograph, but also be friends with my favorite actors, which is even more exciting than winning the jackpot! ”
Sheng Xiaqing didn't expect her to be so excited, and exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Do you want to be so excited?" I'd like to send you an autograph. ”
"Is that okay?" Wu Tingting stared at Sheng Xiaqing with excited eyes.
Sheng Xiaqing was stunned by her for a second before reacting, "Of course it's okay, we've all become friends, what's the point of signing a name!" ”
Sheng Xiaqing took the pen and wrote her name in the blank space of the page that Fang Zeyu had just signed.
Wu Tingting looked at the two names on it, rolled her eyes, and handed the notebook to the other three people present with a smile, asking them to sign their names as well.
Wu Li took the pen and paper, and said while signing, "Who said just now that you didn't ask me to sign it?" It's only been less than two minutes since I slapped myself in the face. ”
"Hehe, sister, don't be so stingy! Quick sign, fast sign. After signing it, others will have to sign it. Wu Tingting urged.
"Hey, are you your signature wall on this red carpet? I also signed one after another. ”
"I'm worth a lot more than that signature wall." Wu Tingting said as she took the paper and handed it to Midsummer to sign, and when Midsummer finished signing, she took it over and handed it to Midsummer Evening.
Midsummer looked at the pen and paper in front of him, smiled slightly, and said, "I won't sign it!" I'm not a star. ”
Wu Tingting raised a bright smile on her face, and folded her hands and asked, "Teacher Xia Wan, you can sign one for me!" Your handwriting is so good, and I'm sure you'll be popular when the show airs. ”
I don't care if it's hot or not, the little girl likes her own words, and it doesn't take much trouble to sign it.
When signing, because other places were all written, only Fang Zeyu's signature was left with a blank space, and he signed it directly there in the middle of summer.
As soon as she finished signing, her and Fang Zeyu's names were side by side at the bottom of the page.
After signing the name, the chatting was over, and several people went to break through again.
Sheng Xiaqing originally wanted Wu Li and the others to go together, but just now both of them had already obtained the keys to the first four levels, and if the Wu Li group didn't get the keys, they couldn't break through.
So, after everyone's consent, Sheng Xiaqing revealed the location of the four keys to the Wu Li sisters, and asked them to go through the level first and take the keys.
After separating from the Wu Li group, they officially set off to break through.
On the way, Sheng Xiaqing has been guessing what kind of level the program team will set up, and whether it will be difficult.
Midsummer evening thought back to the warm-up game and the questions they had set up when they took the keys just now, and guessed that the questions behind should also be related to the pen, as for whether it was difficult or not, it could only be known when they broke through.
When you come to the first level, this is not a storefront, it is a small workshop.
A few people walked in, and the person in charge of the workshop greeted them, "What are you doing here?" ”
Sheng Xiaqing and Fang Zeyu took out the key to the first level, "Boss, we're here to break through." ”
"Since you have broken through the level, then come with me!" The person in charge led them into the small workshop and into a small separate room.
There are several small clay jars in the room, and the clay jars have faucets at the top and drains at the bottom. Next to each clay jar is a dustpan of animal hair.
"As we all know, most of the materials used for the nib of this brush are animal hair, and after the animal hair is collected, we need to treat it.
My small workshop is responsible for this step, but also the first step in the production of brushes, you come here, if you want to succeed, you have to learn how to deal with hair, and make a brush for yourself.
I will give you a brief explanation of the steps of hair treatment, and then there will be a master who will come to teach you the specific treatment techniques.
In ancient times, the animal hair produced by the brush was obtained by hunting in the deep mountains, the whole animal skin needs to be corroded and softened by itself, and then the animal hair is grabbed, classified and selected, to the modern day, most of this work is handled by professional fur companies, and bundled into a whole bundle, the whole raw hair for use, therefore, we now make a pen to select the steps of wool, compared to ancient times has been a lot less, now only need to select the length of the original hair, thickness and the advantages and disadvantages of the hair front, the hair body, identify the hair elasticity on it.
After a while, you will follow the master to learn to do the first step of folding, stacking is to remove the remaining animal skin with the whole raw hair with a nail and tear it apart, and then put it neatly flat according to the root of the hair, arrange the wool according to the length, and then hold the hair root of the same length with one hand, and comb it with a steel comb in the other hand, and fold it into a thin bundle for easy use later.
After the hair folding step is completed, it is necessary to wash the hair, hold the stacked wool with both hands, invert the table, make the hair roots go together, and then soak in water in bundles to clean, remove the debris on the hair, and finally soak the clean wool in water according to the wool nature for six hours to 24 hours.
Of course, not every kind of animal hair cleaning is so simple, some animal hair contains too much oil or secretion of debris fishy smell is heavier, usually with detergent or lime water soaked cleaning, this cleaning process must be skilled, there is its quantitative, there is also its timing, if the use of excessive lime water or soaking overtime, it will erode the hair, may lead to hair breakage, rot, fragility, loss of elasticity, then can not be used. Like this, but after disinfection and washing, the wool still needs to be rinsed or soaked with water, and the time is still 6 to 24 hours, because we want to let the residual detergent or lime water completely dilute out of the wool, and also make the wool softer in soaking.
Today, you can only complete this step, I won't talk about the rest of the first, you can't remember too much, now I will let the masters teach you how to fold and wash your hair. ”
As he spoke, the person in charge went to the door and called, and after a while, two middle-aged women about forty or fifty years old came.
"These two are Master Jiang and Master Cheng in the factory, they are both masters, and the technique of folding hair is fast and good, you have to learn from them later!" The person in charge said with a smile.
In the evening of midsummer, several people hurriedly greeted each other, "Master Jiang is good, Master Cheng is good, I want to trouble you to teach us." ”
Jiang and Cheng smiled and waved their hands, and then began to teach them how to fold hair one by one.
