Film Variety: Encountering Xu Hongdou at the beginning

Lacquer is also known as natural lacquer, raw lacquer, national lacquer, and is generally called Chinese lacquer.

"Trees cut paint, silkworms spin silk, and bees make honey."

Lacquer is known as one of my country's "three treasures".

Lacquer is a natural resin paint.

When the bark of the sumac tree is cut, a white sticky emulsion flows out from the bast, which gradually turns brown when exposed to air.

Coatings made through processing are natural products.

This is a long-standing craft that has existed since the Han Dynasty.

There is a saying about lacquer: "A thousand miles of paint and a pound of paint."

Behind the scenes:

This is the realistic condition that a lacquer tree can only secrete 10 kilograms of lacquer in its lifetime.

But again: good things have no shortcomings other than being expensive and cumbersome.

The craftsmanship of lacquer is not simple, there are more than a dozen tedious processes.

The Rubik's Cube in Feng Lidong's hand is made of original paint.

Even more complicated is the addition of traditional pigment substances such as cinnabar, cinnabar, ocher, azurite, azurite, azurite, lead powder, soot and so on.

It can present a colorful beauty.

It even has a beautiful metallic texture.

This is why you can neither see nor afford Chinese luxury goods.

To paraphrase:

With so many condiments, I can't even afford to cook even a shoehorn.

Feng Lidong played with the Rubik's Cube and it felt extremely smooth and comfortable.

There is no dull feeling of wood at all.

This shows how carefully Xie Heshun polished it.

"Uncle, I didn't expect you to do this. The craftsmanship of this lacquer is really good."

Feng Lidong said with admiration.

"Hey, you've helped me so much, and I don't know how to repay you. I think you like these gadgets, but I don't have much good wood, so I mixed some lacquer to color them."

Xie Heshun scratched the back of his head and said sheepishly.

"With this lacquer craftsmanship alone, if you are willing to go out, there will be many people rushing to help you."

Feng Lidong said slightly helplessly.

"Lacquer is very difficult now, and it's useless to master the craft."

Xie Heshun said honestly.

"While people are getting up now, let's watch the video shot by my uncle, and I'll give you some opinions."

Feng Lidong suggested without dwelling on this issue.

"Okay, I'll get the computer."

Xia Xia nodded excitedly.

Soon, the recorded video opened.

"Hey, is this uncle? Why are you still wearing a mask?"

"Don't tell me, this mask is so beautiful. It must be specially polished. It fits the face very closely."

"Who the hell is this?"

......

As soon as the video started, someone in the crowd started discussing it.

"The uncle didn't want to show up, so A Dong suggested that he make himself a mask to wear so that he wouldn't resist."

Xie Zhiyao explained.

"The main reason is that I'm not used to it. I feel nervous when the camera is facing me."

Xie Heshun was a little embarrassed.

You haven’t watched the video content yet.

But this mask is enough to catch a glimpse and see the whole thing.

Green mountains and green waters, tables and benches, masks covering the face, and commoners sawing their heads.

Unpretentious and mysterious.

This is the first impression the video gives.

It is different from the coolness of many short videos.

Xie Heshun's videos are full of focus and ingenuity.

Not a word was spoken, not a drop of glue was touched, and not a nail was dropped during the whole process.

Just write "Left 1" and "Right 2" on the wood...make a mark.

Then he carefully cut and combined them with an ordinary knife and saw, and soon the components were inlaid into handmade works.

Completely transport the tenon and tenon between the palms of the thigh.

Exquisite woodworking skills are on full display.

After the finished product comes out, it looks like just a wooden pillow at first glance.

But Xie Heshun in the video gently turned his hands a few times.

There is no disassembly and assembly, just open along the line, and it becomes a stool with a complex structure.

It can also be seen that the direction of the gaps inside is very complicated.

And this is the Luban stool he built.

The video is simple and plain.

The background music used is new to this world.

Because this is the background music that Feng Lidong adopted from his previous life, Grandpa Amu.

But it better explains his persistence in traditional craftsmanship, his dedication to his works, and his rigorous pursuit of the production process.

On the contrary, it highlights his craftsmanship.

129 B&B starts recruiting workers

It will automatically replay until the video has finished playing.

Everyone was still silent.

Obviously, they were all shocked by the artistic conception and skills displayed by Xie Heshun in the video.

"it is good!"

"Clap clap clap..."

The crowd cheered, followed by thunderous applause.

"thanks, thanks."

Xie Heshun expressed his gratitude to everyone with a smile.

"Uncle, this is how you will do your future videos, and you must not use modern tools, otherwise you will lose most of the charm."

Feng Lidong also applauded.

A complete piece of wood.

It just goes through cutting, sawing and grinding processes.

It becomes a beautiful stool.

This skill has to be amazing.

I have to admire the wisdom of the ancients.

"Ah Dong, I won't even say thank you. I only have two pieces of wood like this to make two stools. One for you and Ah Yao. Don't dislike it."

Xie Heshun said sincerely.

"Okay, I'm thick-skinned, so you're welcome. Take it home and display it."

Feng Lidong nodded and said mockingly.

"Then I will send it to Tiangongfang's account."

Xia Xia said.

"Okay, if there is a video recorded on this mask, you can put it on it as well."

Feng Lidong nodded and asked again.

"Yes, but it doesn't show up, and the mask is made of several small parts inlaid with a mortise and tenon structure. It looks even more complicated and cumbersome."

Xia Xia looked at her master with eyes full of admiration.

He already knew how wrong he was when he couldn't restrain his restless heart.

"What we need now is to attract attention immediately."

"There is no need to deliberately shorten the time of future videos, unless it is a process that requires confidentiality and repeated procedures."

Feng Lidong said.

"Ok."

Xiaoyue nodded seriously.

"Why, Brother Yao is exploiting your little white rabbit again. The production team hasn't been invited over yet."
