The film and television city starts from the courtyard

Zhao Shucheng and the others returned to Yunmiao Village.

Zhao Shucheng asked: "Old Xie, where are slippers sold here, get her a pair of clothes first, you can't go back on horseback."

"That's easy to say. There is a small store not far away, which has basic daily necessities. You can come here to buy things if you need them in the future."

After speaking, he took them to the canteen and tied the horse to the horse-tying stone.

When Xu Hongdou was about to get off the horse, Zhao Shucheng said, "Are you sure you're going to get off by yourself?"

Xu Hongdou glanced at Zhao Shucheng suspiciously, but when he saw Zhao Shucheng looking at her shoeless foot, he understood what Zhao Shucheng meant.

"What should I do?"

"Of course I helped you down. If you fall and twist your foot, even if you bought slippers, are you sure you can walk?"

After Zhao Shucheng helped him dismount, Xu Hongdou was a little embarrassed, but quickly pretended to be looking at the distant scenery.

Zhao Shucheng said: "Okay, you sit down first, and Lao Xie and I will go buy slippers."

Xie Zhiyao took Zhao Shucheng to the entrance of the canteen and said, "Xiaoqin, take a pair of slippers."

"Okay, Brother Ayao. By the way, is that your girlfriend over there, or..."

"It's Zhao Shucheng's female companion."

"Little cutie, you can just give others a ride. Last time I wanted to ride you, I didn't let you ride."

"Okay, why are you talking so much. By the way, how much is it?"

"25 yuan!"

Xie Zhiyao said: "Ten yuan!"

"I really don't make any money for ten yuan." Xiaoqin said helplessly when she saw Xie Zhiyao, "Ten yuan is ten yuan!"

After Zhao Shucheng directly scanned the QR code to pay, he came outside with his slippers and said, "Put them on!"

"You don't even ask me if I like it, just choose it for me?"

"Then don't you like it? I'll change it."

"Forget it, just this pair!"

Xu Hongdou looked at the pink compromise that Zhao Shucheng put on the ground, and actually thought it was pretty good.

Seeing that they were about to leave, Xiaoqin said, "Then, this is a gift, come and play when you have free time. Brother Ayao!"

"It's impolite. According to seniority, you should call me Uncle Ayao."

"What age is this? It's impossible to talk about this kind of seniority."

"It's the same in any age, let's go!"

"Brother Ayao, let's go play at your house tomorrow."

On the way back, Xie Zhiyao kept saying hello to the villagers.

Xu Hongdou said, "I didn't expect him to be so familiar with everyone in the village."

"It's like this in the countryside. It's not like in the city. It's obvious that the neighbor across the door is related to the upstairs and downstairs, but they don't even know the other person's last name, and they can't even speak a few words all year round. People are also cold and nothing. Human touch."

Xie Zhiyao suddenly turned back to Zhao Shucheng and said, "By the way, come to my house for dinner tonight."

Zhao Shucheng looked at Xu Hongdou, saw that she had no intention of objecting, and said, "Alright, since you're here, you should go and say hello to grandma."

When it was time to eat, after Xie Zhiyao and grandma finished the meal, they directly took Zhao Shucheng and Xu Hongdou to prepare for the meal.

Zhao Shucheng asked curiously: "By the way, where is your brother? Why don't you wait for him to eat together?"

"Don't worry about him, I don't know where he went to play."

While talking, Aunt Bao Ping held something and shouted: "A Yao!"

"Aunt Baoping, it's in the house!"

Aunt Bao Ping came to the house with her things, saw Zhao Shucheng and Xu Hongdou, and asked, "Are there any guests?"

"Yes, these are Zhao Shucheng and Xu Hongdou who came to visit us and live in the courtyard."

"Auntie, my relatives have some beef stew for a wedding, and I brought some for you."

"That's great, just in time for entertaining friends."

"Aquarius, sit down and eat if you haven't eaten!"

"No need, just made it at home, Xiaochun went to get the little gourd, hurry up, eat it while it's hot."

Looking at the beef in the opened pot, Xu Hongdou immediately salivated, after all, it looked good just by looking at it.

"Then you eat first, I'll go first!"

Xie Zhiyao saw that Aunt Bao Ping said that she was going to leave, but she was hesitant to speak. She must have come to him for something, but she saw that there were guests at home, so she didn't speak.

"Aunt Baoping, I'll see you off!"

After walking out of the yard, Xie Zhiyao asked: "Aunt Bao Ping, what's the matter?"

Aunt Bao Ping said: "I want you to persuade Xia Xia, you say, he is impatient now, and he doesn't work hard, and today he made the master angry again, and his sister said he didn't listen. It's noisy."

Xie Zhiyao sighed when he heard it, and said: "Don't say that young people can't sit still, who doesn't like to play, right? Uncle just say a few words about him, don't talk about him."

"Yes, but it's different this time. He said he has a friend in Shanghai and he wants to go to Shanghai."

"Since when did he have friends from Shanghai?"

"I don't know, I just hold my mobile phone all day long, either watching short videos or sending messages. I'm just worried that if I run out this time, he won't come back."

Xie Zhiyao knew that Aunt Bao Ping's worry was justified. After all, there were many young people in the village who just couldn't bear the situation here and ran out to work, so now the village is full of old people, young people, and very few There is a strong labor.

"Xia Xia said it herself?"

"Then he didn't say, I don't know him yet? Two days ago, he told me that the apprentice his master accepted a year ago stopped studying and was leaving."

Xie Zhiyao frowned and said, "He has another apprentice to leave?"

"Yes, you said that the doors and windows are all machine-carved now, and the master craftsmen in the village don't have so much work, so it's very impetuous to say that one will go today and one tomorrow."

"Okay, I see, I will chat with Xia Xia tomorrow."

In fact, Xie Zhiyao knew very well in his heart that most of the woodcarving work now is machine carving, after all, the speed is fast and the patterns are relatively uniform.Although it is not as soulful as wood carvings, it has become the first choice of many people because it consumes less time and energy and is cheaper.

On the contrary, the real hand-carving skills require many years of study and practice. Young people simply cannot bear to study alone, so they definitely don't want to stay here and study hard.

In fact, I encountered this problem during the meeting in the afternoon. Xie Heshun came to Xie Zhiyao and asked about buying woodcarving paintings at nine o'clock.

Considering the cost and time of the hotel, in the end, only a large woodcarving painting carved by Xie Heshun should be placed in the lobby, while all the rooms should be machine-carved.One must know that Xie Heshun is an inheritor of non-inherited inheritance, so it is difficult for him to receive orders, let alone those apprentices or other craftsmen.

When Xie Zhiyao returned to the room, he saw that everyone was waiting for him to eat, and said: "You don't need to wait for me, just eat first."

"It's okay, and I don't care about it for a while, but judging by your appearance, is there something wrong?"

Xie Zhiyao said: "Yes, it's all small things!"

Suddenly Xie Zhiyao looked at Zhao Shucheng and said, "Old Zhao, you might be able to help me with this matter."

Zhao Shucheng was taken aback when he heard it, and asked, "What can I help with?"

"It's about wood carving and painting now. Our master Xie Heshun can be regarded as the inheritor of intangible heritage in the state, but this wood carving is time-consuming and laborious, and the price is higher than machine carving, so there is no list. The current apprentices are also a little impetuous. If you can’t settle down to study, is there anything you can do?”

Zhao Shucheng laughed when he heard it, and said: "Actually, it involves the difference between industrialized production and hand-made customization. Actually, I have seen the things in your woodcarving shop. They are not bad, but they are not the best."

Xie Zhiyao was a little unconvinced and said: "Why is it not the best, our master Xie's craftsmanship is also counted in the state."

"Of course I believe what you said, but there is a problem here, that is, whether he can guarantee his consistent standards. I have also seen the works in the store, and not all of them are his own. There are other veterans Artists, and some apprentices' works."

"What's wrong with that?"

"Of course there is a problem. For example, if you go to buy wine, the apprentice's wine is like bulk wine, while the master's wine is a little famous liquor, and what you thank the master is equivalent to brand-name wine. But you are all entangled in the wine. together, the people who come to see it just think it looks good, but they don’t know which one is a famous brand, which one is a general brand, and which one is a bulk wine, so naturally they just look at it casually.”

Zhao Shucheng looked at Xie Zhiyao while talking, and said: "You are still an investment banker. If you don't subdivide the types of products, you will naturally encounter problems when you sell them. And if you can only know the products in this state by yourself? Inheritance of intangible cultural heritage woodcarving should be known to more people."

Xie Zhiyao was stunned for a moment, then said: "Then what suggestion do you have?"

"In fact, short videos are very popular now. We can package Master Xie and make him a generation of Internet celebrities. His works don't have to be sold locally, why not online? We can't compare prices with those machine-carved ones, because We are destined to not be able to beat them."

"Instead, we should treat hand-carved woodcarving paintings as works of art, and set different prices according to the level of different craftsmen. Just like the same porcelain, some are daily necessities, some are handicrafts, and some have inheritance value antiques."

"As long as Master Xie is really famous, his works will have collection value, and the price will not be the price of ordinary woodcarving. After Master Xie becomes famous, other people's works can also be sold while the popularity is high. It can’t be the same as Master Xie’s, but it will be better than the machine carving price.”

"Of course, if you can contact some people in the antique shop and hype it as a handicraft, the effect may be better."

After hearing this, Xie Zhiyao said happily: "Old Zhao, I knew it was right to find you for this matter. You are very familiar with the antique industry, can you help me make a match?"

Zhao Shucheng said: "I knew that today's meal is not easy, it seems that it has been waiting for me for a long time. But it's not a big problem, I can ask someone to take a look, but you don't have too much hope, more importantly It’s still on your own side, you have to make something that people like.”

"Don't worry about this, we will definitely do it." (End of this chapter)
