Chapter 103: Sugar Painting

"Huh?"

Zhao Xiaobei stopped and looked in the direction of the egret's finger.

I saw a large number of people gathered around the roadside stall ten meters away, these people were of different ages, but most of them were with children.

"Look, there are so many children, they should be selling toys or something, right?"

Zhao Xiaobei replied casually: "Don't worry about that, let's go eat, aren't you hungry?" ”

"Xiaobei, I want to go over and have a look."

The egret was very curious about what he was doing over there, so he pulled Zhao Xiaobei over.

Zhao Xiaobei stuffed the bag he was carrying into his left hand, and then separated from the egret in the crowd.

Closer to the ground, the two finally saw the situation inside:

It's a small stall, about 1.23 meters, with a target at the front of the stall.

One old and one young, all wrapped in thick army-green coats, sat at the back of the stall.

An elderly man who looked to be about 70 years old was sketching a candy painting on the desk, while the teenage girl was guarding a small stove.

There was a small basin squatting on the stove, and the light brown inside the basin was sugar juice.

The burning coals reflected the little girl's cheeks red.

The old man fiddled with the spoon earnestly, and the brown sugar juice slid down on the smooth stone slab, and a lifelike dragon appeared with teeth and claws.

Not to mention the dragon body, even the dragon scales and dragon whiskers...... It's all crystal clear!

In addition to the dragon being made, there are also sugar paintings of phoenixes, fish, and peony flowers on the left side of the target in front of you...... Birds and animals, auspicious flowers and fruits, everything.

On the right side of the target, there are some sugar people, sugar rats, birds, rabbits, gourds...... Mostly some small animals and ornaments, chubby, very cute.

"Sugar Man, Sugar Painting!"

When he saw these vivid sugar paintings and sugar people, Zhao Xiaobei's eyes lit up.

He clearly remembered that in his previous life, a TV station had produced a variety show about these old skills.

There are sugar paintings, sugar figures, noodle figures, and clay figures...... and so on.

At that time, there was a master of sugar painting, and in just over 1 minute, he made an incomparably complex picture of the dragon and phoenix, which directly shocked Zhao Xiaobei!

Later, he also specifically sought out this master to learn the art of sugar painting.

It's just a pity that he can't learn the essence no matter how he learns, and he can only say that he is barely qualified.

"This uncle's sugar painting is really beautiful!"

The egret had obviously seen this thing, and her eyes sparkled and said, "Xiaobei, can you buy me one?" ”

"Okay."

Zhao Xiaobei nodded, "Uncle, please make me a sugar painting." ”

"Sir, you'll have to wait a little longer if you want the sugar painting."

The old man was very busy, but he still took care of Zhao Xiaobei:

"I still have 9 sugar paintings on hand, 6 sugar figures waiting to be made, it will take about 20 minutes, can you wait?"

Zhao Xiaobei nodded, did not reply, but turned his head to look at the egret.

"Yes!"

The egret replied, "Uncle, we can wait." ”

"Okay, here's the album, you can choose what sugar painting you want."

The old man kept moving his hands, and used a small shovel to shovel down the dragon and handed it to a little boy standing in front:

"If you don't like it, you can also specify a pattern, and if you can come up with it, I can draw it!"

There was a strong confidence in the old man's words.

And those onlookers couldn't help but talk when they heard the old man's words:

"Really, this uncle can be so powerful?"

"Then I want a four-like, can I also draw it?"

"It's amazing, master, you not only have a good hand, but also a good mouth......

No way, as long as it is in this society, there will always be good people everywhere, as long as the eyes don't see it, they won't believe it.

Hearing is false, seeing is believing!

It was Zhao Xiaobei who believed the old man's words very much.

"This craft is passed down from my ancestors by the old man."

The old man was not annoyed by the discussion of the crowd:

"Let me do the more delicate work, I definitely can't do it, but in painting candy paintings and blowing candy people, my old man is still a little confident."

"Uncle, I believe you."

Zhao Xiaobei smiled, "Lulu, have you made a good choice?" ”

"There's nothing I like."

Egret shook his head, "Uncle, can you make a sugar painting against him?" ”

Saying this, the egret stretched out his finger and pointed at Zhao Xiaobei.

Zhao Xiaobei was also stunned for a moment, she didn't expect the egret to make such a request.

The old man paused when he was about to scoop the sugar juice, and after observing Zhao Xiaobei for a while, he said: "You can do it, as long as you grasp the characteristics, this work is faster than painting dragons!" ”

For the elderly, in fact, making a sugar painting is as simple as blowing candy people, practice makes perfect.

The difference is only in the length of time.

So just to make a sugar painting against people, he can get twenty or thirty of this kind of work every day.

Simple!

"Uncle, please make him handsome!" Egret added.

Hearing this, Zhao Xiaobei immediately laughed: "I'm sorry for you, uncle!" ”

The people around him were also smiling.

This little couple is really interesting.

"Don't bother, old man, this is the bowl of rice I eat!" The old man smiled and continued to make sugar paintings and sugar figures for the people in front of him.

……

After 20 minutes, it was finally the egret's turn to paint the sugar.

The old man's movements were very fast, he picked up a small soup spoon and scooped a spoonful of sugar juice, and after taking a final look at Zhao Xiaobei, he seriously started painting on the slate.

It didn't even take more than 1 minute for the sugar painting that Egret wanted to make it.

"Look, are you satisfied?"

The sugar painting in the old man's hand was handed to the egret.

The egret looked at the sugar painting, and then turned his head to look at Zhao Xiaobei, whether it was his appearance, his clothes or the demeanor between his eyebrows and eyes, he really captured Zhao Xiaobei's characteristics.

The people at the front also secretly compared the sugar painting with Zhao Xiaobei.

It turned out that he could really recognize the person in front of him at a glance.

For a while, there were exclamations:

"Good boy, this uncle is really amazing, he drew this guy in less than 1 minute!"

"Strange people, strange people, I want one."

"It's amazing, uncle, you can't ...... this craft"

These voices reached the back, and more and more people came together.

Many people clamored for the elderly to help them make a sugar painting, and some even wanted to find the elderly to learn the craft of making sugar paintings.

"Uncle, can I make one myself?"

Zhao Xiaobei didn't care about the reverse of the people around him, and made a request to the old man.

"Absolutely."

Such a request was obviously not an isolated case, so the old man readily agreed:

"Brook, take out your slate, and scoop this gentleman with a spoonful of syrup."

"Okay, grandpa."

The little girl who was crouching by the small fire nodded, pulled out a stone slab from behind her, and set it up on a small stool.

Then, she first rinsed the slate with warm water, wiped it clean, and then scooped a spoonful of sugar juice and handed it to Zhao Xiaobei.

"Thank you, little sister."

Zhao Xiaobei thanked the little girl, and then followed the movements of the old man just now, and dripped sugar juice on the stone slab.

The sugar juice fell silently, and gradually a figure appeared:

She has a slender figure, waist-length hair, a knitted hat on her head, and sunglasses...... It's all presented.

It's just that compared to the old man, Zhao Xiaobei took a little longer, a full 3 minutes.

The small spoon alone warmed back and forth twice.

"Heron, for you."

Comparing the person in front of him, Zhao Xiaobei had a smile on his face.

It seems that the week of intensive study at that time was not in vain!

Today, there is no rollover!

The egret took the sugar painting and said in surprise, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really couldn't believe that you did it!" ”
