Rebirth 09: Buying a house with a baby UP owner

Zhong Meihui plans to divide one of Li Ziqi's videos into seven videos, including lotus root section stir-fry, lotus leaf roasted chicken, lotus leaf roasted wheat, lotus root pork ribs soup, lotus root making lotus root starch, fried lotus petals, and lotus making scented tea, so her blog Just keep updating for a week.

In addition to cooking, she also wanted to arrange other parts into a complete series to show a self-sufficient pastoral life.

Thinking that China and America would like to paint in the future, in the first episode, China and America were asked to work as carpenters and make a painting table by themselves. This kind of purely handmade painting table is unique and a reflection of self-sufficiency.

"Sister Meihui, I have indeed learned carpentry for a few days, but it is modern carpentry. I can still play around with saws, electric drills, nail guns, etc., but it is too difficult to use hand saws, planes, and chisels purely by hand. , I haven’t used it at all.”

Chen Xiaoli feels that this is a great challenge for her. Although she has learned many skills while doing cosplay, traditional carpentry is definitely not among them. The most she can do is take a photo with a plane.

"Sister Meihui, I also think that carpentry is too difficult. I heard that a good carpenter cannot use these things without three to five years of skills. If Xiaoli is asked to learn and sell now, it will be too late."

Yun Shanshan pleads for Chen Xiaoli. They also want to shoot a good video, but they cannot exceed the limit of their abilities.

Zhong Meihui also thinks that what Yun Shanshan said makes sense. It is not easy for a person to learn traditional carpentry in an instant, unless there is the help of a master to complete the most difficult part away from the camera, and then work with him. Chen Xiaoli stitched together the pictures she made herself.

Chu Shoucheng had been teaching in the county and didn't know much about these traditional craftsmen. He could only call his third brother-in-law and ask him if he knew any old carpenters who could help with a painting project.

"Old carpenter? I actually know one. Old Xutou from our village used to make furniture for people. I heard that several generations of his family have been carpenters. Even the county magistrate in the past used their craftsmanship. Later, Everyone went to the city to buy ready-made modular furniture, or made it with electric saws and drills, so no one gradually appreciated his craftsmanship, and he has been idle at home in the past few years."

When the third brother-in-law heard that Zhong Meihui planned to make a traditional painting case, he felt that Old Xu would definitely agree. After all, what he was most sad about was that no one could pass on his craftsmanship, and no one was paying attention to traditional carpenters. If this opportunity could He wanted everyone to pay attention to these traditional artists again.

"That's great. You can help me ask. I'll send over the drawings that Meihui drew and see if Master Xu can do it."

After Chu Shoucheng found the old carpenter, he immediately brought over the drawings that Zhong Meihui had drawn before. The pattern of this painting was very repetitive. It could not be made with an ordinary electric saw and drill. It could only be carved bit by bit with a hammer and chisel. Make such exquisite carvings.

"This pattern is very good. We finally have a knowledgeable person here. Those young people think that modular furniture is good and are willing to buy it from the market for any amount of money. Little do they know that these traditional crafts are good things and they will keep their value better. This painting If the case is made of high-quality huanghuali, there will be no problem in passing it on to future generations."

When Old Xu Tou saw the drawings of this painting, he knew that the person who ordered this painting was an expert. In the past few years when he was idle, everyone around him had changed new furniture, and he was the only one who still guarded the few furniture in the room. For old objects, he thinks that their time will definitely come. Now someone finally understands the charm of traditional handmade furniture, which makes him feel that traditional carpenters have hope in the future.

"Huanghuali is so expensive and we can't afford it. This time, a few city people want to shoot a video and also want to learn the traditional carpentry skills. I hope you can give me some advice. This is 1000 yuan, which is considered as your hard work." .”

Chu Shoucheng handed over the money very politely. For Lao Xutou, this 1000 yuan was enough for his living expenses for a month, but shooting this video only lasted a week at most, so it was a good deal no matter how you calculate it.

Early the next morning, Lao Xutou took his full set of tools to the small mountain courtyard to teach Chen Xiaoli how to make a painting table. The painting table designed by Zhong Meihui has two functions. One is that it can be used as a painting table; Can be used as a dining table.

In the videos they shot before, they put the food on a small table in the yard with a few wicker chairs around it. This approach is very casual, but it also lowers the quality of the food.

This time the lotus series will all feature delicious specialties, and a good table is necessary to highlight their uniqueness.

Chen Xiaoli was extremely excited when she saw that a carpenter actually came to teach her. If she could even learn carving, then she would be successful in the cosplay world. After all, there are many tailors in their line of work, and they may use traditional tools. Carpenter, she is the only one since ancient times.

"It's rare for such a young girl to like to learn traditional carpentry. I want to teach you some simple ones." Old Xu Tou was very excited when he saw the young people around him. He always thought that only young people also like this kind of tradition. Handicrafts, they have hope for further development of these crafts.

Otherwise, all traditional craftsmanship will be replaced by modern equipment, and then everyone will only see these craftsmanship and tools from books. That will be a cultural fault, which is a very sad thing.

"Master Xu, you must have read a lot of books before, to be able to tell such profound truths." When Yun Shanshan saw Old Xu Tou, she thought he was just an old carpenter living in the country, but she didn't expect his vision. Extraordinary, almost blog worthy.

"I haven't read any books. These principles have been passed down from generation to generation by my ancestors. They say this is the work of a craftsman."

Old Xu Tou didn't understand the urban folk saying, he only knew that this was something his family had insisted on for generations. His ingenuity made everyone respect him, and made Chen Xiaoli learn more attentively.

With the efforts of a group of people, the painting desk was finally completed. They spent a whole week polishing every part of the painting desk carefully, and also painted it with natural bucket paint, making the entire painting desk look beautiful. It looks simple and natural, blending in with the surrounding scenery.

Finally, Chen Xiaoli, as a member of the Chinese and American Ten, made a dish of glutinous rice chicken and placed it on the new painting table, and enjoyed it with Chu Ruoxin.

With the dining table made of this new painting, the whole picture has become more colorful. Chu Ruoxin in the picture has also changed into a child's Hanfu. She has two round buns on her head and looks extremely cute.

Zhong Qianru replaced the dinner plate with fresh lotus leaves, and you can feel a bit of the beauty of the moonlight in the lotus pond through the screen. Everyone thinks this is their most successful work in history.
