"What are you doing?" Yan Kai asked, startling Mrs. Yan and the others.

Sister-in-law Yan gave him a look and said angrily: "You stupid monkey, you don't know how to call someone first when you come back!"

"Hehe!" After being hit, Yan Kai folded his arms and said with a silly smile, "Didn't I just see you guys sneaking around?"

"Can you speak?" Aunt Yan glared at him: "Why are you so sneaky in your own home?"

Then she handed the thing in her hand to Yan Kai and said, "Aren't you about to get your crown? Mom will make you some flowers."

In the Tang Dynasty, it was not unusual for men to wear flowers on their heads.

Yan Kai already knew this.

Du Mu wrote a poem about a man who rarely smiles in this world but returns home with his head covered with chrysanthemums. It refers to the situation of a man wearing chrysanthemums on his head.

Yan Kai looked at the flower in Sister Yan's hand curiously: "These are fake flowers!"

"Nonsense, can the flowers you make by yourself be real?" Sister-in-law Yan spat: "It will be the twelfth lunar month of winter when you grow up, and I am afraid that there will only be plum blossoms at any time, so I plan to learn how to make some for you. Duo.”

As she spoke, she showed off the flowers in her hands, looked at the two women next to her and said, "These two are specialized in making velvet flowers, and my mother learned from them. I heard that the velvet flowers they made were used as tribute. For the palace."

The two women saluted Yan Kai, and Yan Kai quickly returned the salute.

"Is this called velvet flower? It looks real!"

Only then did Yan Kai see the velvet flowers in the hands of the two women. They only had two petals different from those of Sister Yan. If Sister Yan hadn't told them about the velvet flowers in their hands, he would have thought they were real.

"Back to Xiaoyan County Magistrate, this kind of flower is the velvet flower. Because its sound is similar to Ronghua, many people use this kind of velvet flower when their children grow up."

Of course many of the families they talked about were rich and powerful, but ordinary families did not have these particularities.

"Then I'll come and learn too!" Anyway, the work is done today.

Yan Kai didn't expect that he was already about to reach the crown. He could only say that time passed so quickly.

It seems that I haven't spent time with Aunt Yan for a long time, so I just happened to take this time to spend some time with Aunt Yan.

"What can you learn? If you have nothing to do, my mother will leave two corns in the pot for you to eat yourself." Mrs. Yan chased people away.

"Oh, just let me learn from you!" Yan Kai acted coquettishly at first, and then shouted: "Sanya, Sanya, Wan Shun!"

As soon as he shouted, Yan Sanya, Li Wanshun and Loli Wu Zetian came out.

"There is corn in the pot, go and eat it, and then come over and watch my brother weave flowers for you."

"Okay!" When the three girls heard that there was something to eat, they jumped over to the pot, picked it out and started to eat.

Here Yan Kai has begun to study seriously with the two women.

"This velvet flower requires silk as the main material. The silk must first be cooked in alkaline water to maintain its toughness." The woman taught Yan Kai a simple technique while introducing him:

"Ripe velvet is the material used to make the petals and stamens of velvet flowers. You see that this is already dyed ripe velvet. After dyeing, the ripe velvet needs to be put on a bamboo pole to dry, and it needs to be turned frequently and stretched straight."

Yan Kai said that he seemed to have seen silk of this color in his yard a few days ago. He was busy with the autumn harvest and didn't bother to ask. It turned out that it was used to make velvet flowers.

"Our first step is called hooking." The woman's hands are very skillful.

A row of cooked velvet of various colors is hung side by side on a small board, and then brushed flat and evenly one by one with a bristle brush.

Take a piece of brass wire and fold it in half, twist one end into a slight spiral fork, clamp the evenly arranged velvet ribbon from the front, then join the other end and twist it into a spiral, and cut the cooked velvet with scissors according to the specifications she needs. .

Twist and tighten with both hands in opposite directions at the same time, and then use a wooden washboard to further process it into uniform and round velvet strips.

"Wait!" Yan Kai shouted, "Let me take a look again!"

He finally understood what it meant that his brain and eyes could communicate, but his hands couldn't keep up.

Sister-in-law Yan next to me also said that she had just learned to make this kind of velvet flower, but she was already doing it in a decent way.

But when Yan Kai twisted his hands in opposite directions and tightened them, he had no idea how to backhand.

Even after twisting my hands, I still didn't understand.

The two women covered their mouths and chuckled, then taught Yan Kai how to twist.

"Brother, come on, brother, come on!"

Sanya on the side started jumping around to cheer Yan Kai on.

Finally, under the patient guidance of the two women, Yan Kai finally learned this step.

"Iron the velvet below." The two women put on thick gloves, took a hot iron, and then ironed some round velvet strips flat.

Needless to say, Yan Kai also noticed that these flat green velvet strips were just leaves.

"Amazing!"

He admired sincerely.

At this time, netizens in the live broadcast room also had the same reaction as Yan Kai.

"It's amazing. Just now it looked like some colorful silks, but if you keep doing this, it turns into leaves and flowers."

"The key is that if you don't look closely, you can't tell it's fake at all. From a distance, I even thought the petals and leaves have the veins of plants."

"Is this a tribute? Another day of envy of the emperor's life."

"Wait! Why does this thing look so similar to the hat from this year's GEO spring conference?"

"Hey, that's right, I just wanted to say that, I'll go look for the photos."

"It's exactly the same. Isn't this the velvet flower accessory in the Goao 24 spring and summer show?"

"I'll go, they tasted the benefits of copying our horse-faced skirts last time, and this time they used our velvet flowers."

"This time they made it clear that it is our Chinese intangible cultural heritage..."

"But what they used is really ugly. It's a waste of money. Using such beautiful velvet flowers as accessories on their outfits is really in vain."

"That's right! Anchor, I suggest that we also hold a big show of our own. Their one is really ugly!"

Yan Kai didn't know there was such a thing at first, but he took a look at it after hearing what netizens said.

how to say……

Can not bear to look.

Even if it was popular in the Tang Dynasty to wear flowers on the head, if he wore it like that at the Geao show, he felt that he would be beaten even if he walked on the streets of Kuoding County.

However, the netizen's suggestion is quite good. There are several people who want to win the championship with him this time.

Or just wear velvet flowers with everyone else.

It might feel awkward to wear it alone, but if you're in a group, that won't be the case.

And he also wanted to try to see if the velvet flower could be made more beautiful.

These foreigners know that our products are good things, but when they are used, they are all kinds of waste!

"Kai'er, what's wrong?" Aunt Yan looked at Yan Kai in a daze: "But there are still things to deal with?"

"It's okay, it's okay, let's continue learning and do more when the time comes!"

Yan Kai said with a smile.
