The supreme god of the city

Chapter 692 Dongba Workshop!

"Hello? I'm Xiaoyue's father!" Xiaoyue's father warmly extended his hand to Xiao Ting, Shen Yuyan, and Qian Xiaoni, and said.

"Hello! I'm Xiao Ting! This is my girlfriend Shen Yuyan and my good friend Qian Xiaoni!" Facing Xiaoyue's father, an elder, Xiao Ting still gave Qian Xiaoni the name of a good friend.

"Oh! I actually came here to meet Xiaoyue's friends. By the way, what dishes do you want me to cook?" Xiaoyue's father glanced at Xiao Ting, shook hands with Shen Yuyan and Qian Xiaoni one by one, That's what I said about my purpose.

"It's better not to be too spicy! We don't know how to make it taste better, so you just have to make up your mind!" Xiao Ting hesitated and said something to Xiaoyue's father.

"Oh! Okay!" Xiaoyue's father responded, almost having an idea in his heart!

Although Xiaoyue's father is relatively free at noon today, he can't talk to Xiao Ting, Shen Yuyan, and Qian Xiaoni more, and besides, he has to cook for Xiao Ting and the others!

After Xiaoyue's father left, Xiaoyue smiled awkwardly at Xiao Ting, Shen Yuyan, and Qian Xiaoni, and said: "My father said that it is rare for me to meet some new friends who come to travel, so he insisted on coming up." See you all!"

"It's okay! It can be seen that uncle has a good personality!" Shen Yuyan also smiled and said to Xiaoyue when she heard Xiaoyue's words.

Xiao Ting and Qian Xiaoni echoed a few words, and they changed the topic of conversation, from Wangu Building and Zhongyi Market in the morning to Dongba Workshop and Sifang Street in the afternoon.

Under Xiaoyue's various descriptions, Xiao Ting, Shen Yuyan, and Qian Xiaoni were really looking forward to the afternoon and evening itinerary!

Soon, several waiters brought up a table of feasts prepared by Xiaoyue’s father himself, such as stir-fried wild mushrooms with cured meat, roasted corn, wild mushroom soup, fruit platter, etc., of course, as the main course The cured meat is not only cooked with wild mushrooms, but also cooked with several different vegetables, but they are all equally delicious!

After lunch, Xiao Ting, Shen Yuyan, Qian Xiaoni and the group, together with the guide Xiaoyue, hid in this box in the restaurant and rested for a while. Fortunately, it was winter and Jiangli's climate was really pleasant, otherwise If it is Jiang Li in summer, it is estimated that the sun will be hot to death when going out!

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Ting, Shen Yuyan, Qian Xiaoni and his party, plus the guide Xiaoyue, made a total of five people, served a piece of Xiangmu's family food, and went straight to the first place to visit in the afternoon!
After arriving at Dongba Workshop, under Xiaoyue's leadership, Xiao Ting, Shen Yuyan, and Qian Xiaoni entered this not-so-big shop. The space that is too small is used for the owner to make some handicrafts.

Outside the store door, Xiao Ting, Shen Yuyan, and Qian Xiaoni were shocked by the huge wooden figures at the door. Xiaoyue saw the reaction of Xiao Ting, Shen Yuyan, and Qian Xiaoni, and began to explain!

The owner is called Lao Mu. As a Naxi native, there are many magical images in Lao Mu’s mind. His teacher is his father, an ingenious mason who always tells the legends of the Naxi people vividly. Fascinated by listening to it from the sidelines, I started to make the miraculous images my father described with mud.

The old wooden shop opened in a hidden place on the East Street, and a huge wooden carved human house stood at the door. The exaggerated image, thick lips, and rough lines reminded people of African sculptures.In addition to winning honors, woodcarving also won the love of Zhang Jun, a girl from Chengdu.Zhang Jun wondered why her husband always engraved such thick big mouths on everyone, and Lao Mu replied simple and honestly: People with big mouths are simple.The shop on East Street is small, but there are so many things that make people dazzled. Every piece of wood carving here is condensed with Laomu's painstaking efforts. Picking one to go back is definitely the best memory of Naxi culture.

The studio behind the shop is quiet and tidy, with many old wood carvings, like a small museum.Some woodcarvings are finished, some are still half-finished, but it can be seen that every woodcarving has been meticulously crafted, and the comfort of art is definitely not an exaggeration!
In addition to old wood carvings, there are many Naxi handicrafts in the store, such as Dongba paper: Dongba paper is a special paper used by Naxi Dongba priests to record Dongba scriptures and draw Dongba paintings. It is a very rare minority handmade paper.This paper is thick, hard-wearing, moth-resistant, relatively smooth, and ivory in color.It is rumored that this kind of paper can be preserved for thousands of years.The paper of Dongba ancient books seen in the Dongba Culture Museum in Heilongtan is indeed exactly the same as this one.

Sending a postcard like this really feels domineering. In the store, ten postcards cost 30 yuan, which is similar to postcards from various scenic spots. Dongba paper lanterns are also very beautiful and the price is not high, but if you want to buy Thicker Dongba paper books are more expensive.

So, in the end, under Xiaoyue's explanation, Shen Yuyan and Qian Xiaoni bought some Dongba paper and a few Dongba postcards. In fact, the two of them also wanted to buy one for the beautiful Dongba paper lanterns. But looking at the paper lantern, Shen Yuyan and Qian Xiaoni hesitantly looked at Xiao Ting, the big benefactor.

Xiao Ting looked at the expectant eyes of the two of them, and felt that it was so much fun!
However, now that Xiaoyue was present, Xiao Ting didn't bother to play tricks on the two of them, and directly smiled at them and said, "No one can only choose one they like the most!"

"Okay!"

"Great!"

When Shen Yuyan and Qian Xiaoni heard Xiao Ting's words, they both smiled happily and clapped their hands, and then went to happily choose their favorite Dongba paper lanterns.

Xiaoyue, who was beside Xiao Ting, looked at the relationship between Xiao Ting, Shen Yuyan, and Qian Xiaoni, and couldn't help but a hint of envy flashed in her eyes. She really felt that Xiao Ting was her favorite, but she couldn't show it. It's too obvious, and it's obvious that Xiao Ting and Shen Yuyan are extremely sweet now!So Xiaoyue can only watch eagerly!
After choosing the Dongba paper lanterns they like, Shen Yuyan and Qian Xiaoni walked down together with Xiao Ting and Xiaoyue who had paid the bill.The most famous store of Dongba Workshop is Laomu's shop, but outside of Laomu's shop, there are also some shops with good handicrafts, so these shops are also quite worth visiting!

After walking around for a while and returning, Shen Yuyan and Qian Xiaoni took Xiao Ting back to Lao Mu's shop. The two of them insisted on taking Xiao Ting to carve a wood carving together. Xiao Ting also thought it would be good to carve a wood carving as a souvenir. , so naturally agreed!
