"Hundreds?"

Zhao Jinmai stuck out his tongue: "That means the painting is still there when the person is gone?" ”

"It can be passed down from generation to generation!"

Li Yi said with a smile: "Dry for thousands of years, wet for 10,000 years, the black bamboo silk in this bamboo painting is colored with toner, as long as it is not damp, let alone a hundred years, it is possible for a thousand years, but it is only theoretical." ”

"No wonder it's so expensive!"

Zhao Jinmai looked at the bamboo painting and was amazed.

Liu Yifei on the side glanced at Li Yi and asked, "How do you know about this kind of bamboo painting practice?" ”

Li Yi smiled: "Because I can too!" ”

"Do you know how to make bamboo paintings?"

Not to mention Liu Yifei and Zhao Jinmai, even the hotel manager on the side was taken aback.

"Isn't that weird?"

Li Yi smiled: "Don't you allow me to have other hobbies besides cooking?" ”

"Of course I do."

Liu Yifei said with a smile, and then asked in surprise: "But why do you even know how to weave bamboo?" Do chefs even have to learn this? ”

"Bamboo is the most common ingredient for kitchenware."

Li Yi said with a smile: "Before humans invented pottery, they had already learned to use bamboo to make kitchen utensils, such as bamboo baskets, bamboo baskets, bamboo tubes for cooking rice, and so on.

The cultural relics unearthed in the Neolithic Age clay pots are made of pottery clay inside and outside the woven bamboo baskets, made into bamboo and rattan tires, and fired out.

Then human beings combined clay pots and bamboo baskets, and they had the most primitive pots and steamers, and became the first civilization and country to use steam for cooking.

Bamboo was all too common in the old kitchens, steamers for steaming food, baskets for grain, baskets, baskets, rice sieves for sieving rice, dustpans, and hedges for scooping rice. ”

Listening to Li Yi's description, Liu Yifei thought thoughtfully: "I remember that when my grandmother was a child, she used bamboo to weave a fence to make rice. ”

"The Yunnan-Guichuan area is the most commonly used, where it will make retort rice, which must be boiled first and then steamed.

Li Yi said with a smile: "Bamboo is the most important natural tool material in domestic food culture, and there is no one.

In the wild, it can set traps to catch small animals, or it can make traps to catch large animals.

In the water, it can be used as a simple fish hook, can also be woven into a bamboo net to catch fish, woven into a bamboo cage to catch shrimp and crabs water snakes, and when the fish and shrimp are caught, they can also be loaded into a bamboo basket made of bamboo, breathable and fresh.

Therefore, the driving force behind human beings to play with bamboo weaving is the thirst for food. ”

Liu Yifei heard it attentively: "I didn't expect the relationship between bamboo weaving and cooking to be so deep." ”

"It's not that bamboo weaving has a deep relationship with cooking, it's the development of most human crafts, all in order to make yourself eat better."

Li Yi said, and asked the hotel manager who was stunned: "I want to ask, where is this teacher Geng's house?" I want to pay a visit. ”

The hotel manager was already stunned by him, and he was stunned for a moment before responding: "Oh, Mr. Geng's house is in Liangshan Village, Youfang Town, and everyone in the village knows his home." ”

"Okay, thanks."

Li Yi thanked him, and explained to Liu Yifei and the others: "I plan to go to Mr. Geng's house tomorrow morning to have a look, we are going fishing this time, I want to make a fish basket to use, Mr. Geng must have cooked bamboo silk there, I'll buy some." ”

After explaining, he went to the program team again and told them the plan.

After the program team came out, the itinerary was planned and arranged by Li Yi, he determined the content, and the program team was responsible for filming.

Liangshan Village is located on the south side of Yangzhong City, not far from the city.

The director team calculated the time and agreed to Li Yi's plan.

So, early the next morning, Li Yi and his entourage went straight to Liangshan Village.

The hotel manager didn't talk nonsense, Geng Yuexin's name is really well known in Liangshan Village.

After Li Yi and his entourage came to the village, they asked someone casually and found Geng Yuexin's home.

Geng Yuexin's home is not small, there are bamboo and bamboo weaving pieces piled up everywhere, and there are more than a dozen men of different ages in the yard, who are breaking bamboo and taking materials, baking colors to go to festivals.

Hearing the movement outside, Geng Yuexin came out of the back room.

He was about seventy years old, but he had a steady gait and a good complexion.

When Li Yi saw him, he took the initiative to say hello and explained his intention with a smile: "Teacher Geng, we are filming a show, I want to interview you, is it convenient for you to be interviewed?" ”

Geng Yuexin was very calm and agreed with a smile.

He himself is often interviewed by the media, and it is no surprise that he is facing the camera.

"In 94, I set up this bamboo weaving research institute at home, which is to study bamboo weaving."

After Geng Yuexin invited Li Yi and his party into the back room, she talked about her bamboo weaving process: "Two thousand years ago, there were nearly 100 students in my institute, all of whom came to learn bamboo weaving from me.

But now that technology is advanced and mechanization is widespread, there are fewer and fewer students here.

In fact, these bamboo products sell very well, and there are door-to-door orders every day, and there are many orders that can't be received.

But there is not enough manpower, and the supply exceeds the demand. ”

While talking, he took out his proud works and gave them to Li Yi and a few others to enjoy.

Seeing the lifelike statues of ancient emperors in the imperial scrolls woven with bamboo silk, Liu Yifei and Zhao Jinmai were amazed.

The quality of this bamboo weaving work is not at all comparable to the few pieces hanging in the hotel!

"This is not what I am most satisfied with, what I am most satisfied with is the "Dream of China" that was awarded to the award, I won a Golden Wheat Ear Award, and I am the only one in the whole Zhenjiang."

Geng Yuexin obviously enjoyed the feeling of introducing his achievements to outsiders, and he was able to speak energetically.

Li Yi admired Geng Yuexin's works and nodded incessantly.

It can be seen from the works displayed by Geng Yuexin that his bamboo weaving level should be able to reach the level of [bamboo weaving master], and he is only one step away from starting a sect and stepping into the realm of home.

But this step, Li Yi was stuck in the dream space for seven years, and finally relied on luck to get through.

Geng Yuexin didn't know how many years she would have to survive.

After admiring the work, Li Yi made a request to Geng Yuexin: "Teacher Geng, I want to buy some bamboo silk that has been processed here, can you give me some evenly?" ”

"Bamboo silk?"

Geng Yuexin was a little surprised.

He has seen a lot of media, and many of them have bought his bamboo weaving works.

But it was the first time he had seen someone come to buy bamboo silk.

"Why do you buy bamboo silk?"

He was puzzled and asked, "Are you going to make it up yourself?" ”

"Yes."

Li Yi smiled and nodded.

"Oh? Do you also know how to weave bamboo? ”

Geng Yuexin became interested: "Didn't you say it earlier?" Come on, come on! You come with me! ”

With that, he took Li Yi to the operation room and took out a bunch of processed bamboo silk for Li Yi.

Categorized and everything.

"It's all processed bamboo silk, you try it."

Geng Yuexin smiled and said: "I haven't had anyone come here for a long time to communicate, you let go of your hands and feet, and I will also learn the current weaving method of you young people." ”

Seeing that he was in high spirits, Li Yi smiled and didn't say much.

After returning to reality, it was also the first time for him to weave things with bamboo silk, just to practice his hands and restore his body memory.

"Then I'll be ugly."

Li Yi picked out a few items from the bamboo silk in front of him, and then started to weave them.

At the beginning of the first few doxxing strokes, his fingers were still a little stiff.

But as he gradually found his senses, his speed increased considerably.

Gradually, his ten fingers began to fly up and down, and even brought out an afterimage.

And the bamboo silk in his hand quickly turned into a piece of bamboo paper with a pattern, which was fine and compact, smooth and abnormal, and the speed was as fast as 3D printing.

The camera captures a close-up of his hand, and the pattern on the bamboo paper gradually becomes clear, and it can be seen that it is a girl's face.

First the neckline, then the neck, then the chin and lips.

When the lower half of the girl's face in the painting appeared, Zhao Jinmai suddenly shouted: "Huh? Sister Yifei! That's you! ”
