I live in Miao Village

"Make silver jewelry? Didn't you agree to wait until you finish the college entrance examination?" Xue Yi frowned.

"No, it's to help Wang Caixiang's sister. Wang Laosi got drunk and smashed at home a few days ago, crushing her silver jewelry and having to do it again. Don't you like to record and do live broadcasts? Are you coming?"

Xue Yi's eyes lit up, "Come on! Why don't you come? I've wanted to live broadcast making silver jewelry for a long time!" Immediately took the camera and went out with Ayaoduo.

Xue Yi has been talking about making silver jewelry live broadcast for a long time, and the audience has always wanted to watch it, but they have never had the chance. Today, I finally got the chance, so of course I want to see it!

When the audience heard that there was going to be a live broadcast of making silver jewelry, they were all very excited. Those who skipped class and slipped away at work, stood in front of the live broadcast room early.

Xue Yi said, are you crazy? Why don't you watch a live broadcast, even though she herself stays by A Yaoduo's side.

But Ayaoduo was not in a hurry, she and Aunt Jinlan washed the base mold by the silver washing pool, asked Xue Yi to help light the fire, and said: "Making silver jewelry is a delicate job, work patiently, if you can't be in a hurry, you can help me light the fire first, use Those steel and carbon over there."

"Okay." Xue Yi quickly went to light the fire. During these days in Miao Village, Xue Yi gradually learned a lot of skills. Things like planting rice seedlings in the fields and cooking by the fire were not difficult for her at all.

When the fire is lit, wait aside, and add steel and carbon from time to time to make the fire bigger.

[Anchor, what is Ayaoduo doing, why hasn't it started yet? ]

"Burn the fire, I'm going to melt down the crushed silver jewelry and redo it." Xue Yi was actually a little impatient, but according to what A Yaoduo said, "making silver jewelry is a delicate job, work patiently, and don't rush."

After Xue Yi's points rise to 60 points, the live broadcast system may consider that the screen full of bullet chats is inconvenient to watch, and change the full screen of bullet chat tracks to five. The number of bullet chats sent by each viewer per day is limited , can no longer be sent at will as before.

At the same time, the tipping system has been upgraded, the ID of the tipper can be displayed, and special effects will also be displayed when giving gifts, making the screen refreshed all of a sudden.

Audience: [Anchor, now you have no reason to close the barrage, right? ]

Xue Yi: "Don't tell me, the screen is so deserted all of a sudden, I'm not used to it."

The audience laughed and scolded Xue Yi for being a good boy for being cheap, leaving a message saying: [Really?Anchor, you wait! ]

Then a reward message appeared on the screen, the audience "The anchor is Wannianshou" gave you a lily, and wished you and A Yaoduo a happy marriage for a hundred years, and then there was a special effect of raining flowers all over the sky, a big "囍" It filled the screen for two seconds.

Seeing that the special effect was fun, other viewers imitated it one after another.

What "not going to work today" sent you a lily, and wished you and A Yaoduo a happy marriage for a hundred years; I gave you a bear hug and kissed you unconscious; "One by one my child bride" gave you a whip, and Ace fell in love with you.

Forget it all, a viewer was even more frantic, and directly changed the ID to "A Yaoduo", and then: the audience "A Yaoduo" sent you a sweet kiss, and touched your butt, butt, butt...

Immediately afterwards, the screen was filled with pink kisses and jelly-like butt touching effects. Xue Yi: What the hell, do your parents know that your scale is so big?

It's so shameful, so shameful that Xue Yi wants to scold:

"System, get the hell out of here, turn off this special effect, can't it be turned off? Then turn off the tipping function, I don't want the tipping money! I'll give it all to you, go buy a coffin board! Let me calm down one time."

Audience: [No, the anchor, you are doing this trick again. ]

"Don't stop me." Regardless of the risk of being regarded as a psychopath, Xue Yi poked around in the air with his finger, looking for the special effect switch for tipping.

Live broadcast system: "The tipping function comes with the system and cannot be turned off, please know!"

[Hahaha, system 666! ]

[Call the system! ]

[Daily confession system 23333]

Xue Yi: "I have a watch, do you want to buy it?"

[Hahaha, anchor, be elegant, don't be dirty. ]

After washing the mold, A Yaoduo saw her embarrassed expression, and asked her what was wrong. With the special effect of touching the buttocks on the screen, Xue Yi felt even more ashamed. She blushed and said it was nothing, let's start making silver jewelry!

The production process of Miao silver jewelry is roughly as follows: melting silver, casting, beating, pressing, chiseling, drawing, weaving, welding and washing.

Wang Caixiang's elder sister Wang Caiyun asked A Yaoduo and her third uncle Wang Ping to make this set of silver jewelry last year. Although the skill is not as good as that of Mr. Jin, it is by no means inferior to any silversmith in the nearby ten miles and eight villages.

It's a pity that Wang Laosi went drunk last night, knocked down the silver jewelry cabinet at home, and even stomped on it with his feet. A good set of silver jewelry was trampled into disrepair.

Wang Caiyun cried all night holding the ball of silver ornaments, and she even pointed at this set of silver ornaments to get married!Now that it’s done like this, I don’t know how much it will cost to redo it. The family’s money has been lost by the father, so where is the money?

After hearing what Wang Caixiang said, A Yaoduo was so angry that she wanted to beat Wang Laosi, but unfortunately Wang Laosi had been beaten away by Wang Yunhai, otherwise she would have to be beaten in this meeting.

A Yaoduo saw that the silver ornaments were not completely destroyed, and it should not be difficult to restore them, so she volunteered to help her restore them.

Wang Caixiang's silver crown and silver collar were placed on the top of the cabinet, and they were not damaged, only the silver corner was broken, and it would be fine to hit it with a hammer later.

The silver press neck and the silver flakes, silver bubbles, waist ornaments, and clothes corners inlaid on the clothes were relatively damaged. Some were almost lumped together, or even broken into two pieces, so they had to be melted down and redone.

"Wang Lao Si is a bastard!" A Yaoduo picked out the most damaged one from a pile of silver ornaments, wishing to kill Wang Lao Si immediately, violence his wife and daughter at home, and the delivery man's field, so that he and Lao Cousin Jin would not be in vain They are all scumbags who have done all kinds of bad things.

Ayaoduo picked out the damaged silver ornaments, and found the corresponding molds from the stack of blank molds, and arranged them one by one, ready to be redone.

These molds were one of the dowry that Mr. Jin gave Aunt Jinlan when she got married. At that time, Mr. Jin still hoped that Fang Zhishu would change his mind and return to the city to make silver ornaments. Unfortunately, Fang Zhishu did not understand this skill, so he used it as a toy for A Yaoduo. Ayaoduo is sensible, she never threw it away, and only kept it until now.

A Yaoduo posed for a long time, but found that the molds were not complete, the biggest silver neck and many waist ornaments were missing, so she asked Aunt Jinlan: "Mom, are all the tools that grandpa gave you here?"

"Yeah, I've kept them all these years, that's all."

"That's why grandpa didn't give the whole set. Maybe it's because he was afraid that my dad would learn it all at once, so he wouldn't come to the city to find him, or maybe he was afraid that my dad wouldn't learn it, and this set of molds would fall into the hands of outsiders, so he only gave half of it on purpose." A Yao Duo originally intended to say that Mr. Jin was a treacherous and cunning man, but Wang Caiyun cried again when he heard this. When Wang Caixiang saw her sister crying, she also cried.

A Yaoduo: "Don't worry, don't worry, I have a way, I can make that kind of mold, I'll try it after I finish these, if it doesn't work, I'll go back to the city and ask my grandpa to help you, it doesn't cost money."

Only then did the sisters Caiyun Caixiang stop crying.

Outsiders see that the Miao people wear as much silver jewelry as possible, and the bigger the better. They are covered in silver jewelry, so they think they are rich and wear gold and silver all day long.

In fact, many Miao families have several sisters, but usually there is only one set of silver jewelry. The eldest sister wears it once when she gets married, and the second sister wears it again when she gets married. Sometimes it is very difficult to keep it for the next generation.

Aunt Jinlan saw that the two sisters were pitiful, and staying nearby would affect Ayaoduo, so she called them to the yard outside, and called some neighbors to comfort them, and scolded Wang Laosi severely.

There are only Xue Yi and A Yaoduo by the silver washing pool.

The first thing Ayaoduo made was silver flakes inlaid on clothes. The principle of making silver flakes is relatively simple. First, melt the silver ingots, then beat them into thin flakes on the table, and finally press them into shape with yin and yang blank molds.

Beating silver flakes into thin slices requires putting silver ingots on fire to soften them, and then beating them. During the process, they need to be tempered and softened continuously, and then cooled and beated before they can be formed.

Firewood cannot be used to soften the silver flakes. The temperature of the firewood is difficult to concentrate, and it is easy to get smoke and ash into it, making the color and purity of the silver impure. Steel carbon must be used. When welding, blow with a blowpipe to increase the fire. It is better to weld the two silver parts together.

The whole process requires not only patience, but also a very high skill. At least the hands should not shake, otherwise it will be very troublesome if the hands are burned or the crucible containing the silver ingots is knocked over.

Xue Yi found it difficult even looking at it from the side, no wonder Ayaoduo made his hands like that within a few days after doing it.

"Be careful, it doesn't matter if you can't finish it, the important thing is not to hurt yourself." Xue Yi felt distressed.

A Yaoduo said with a smile: "No, it's you, stay away from me, I'm going to start beating, be careful not to get on you."

Ayaoduo had the gloves, protective gear and bib she bought for her, and felt that she was fine, but Xue Yi, on the other hand, stared blankly without blinking his eyes, looking very funny.

"Success, let's start." Xue Yi stood in the distance, zoomed in on the camera, and continued the live broadcast.

It is true to say that the craft of making silver jewelry is delicate and patient. There is a lot of knowledge in beating silver ingots into silver sheets. The ancient Miao people did not have accurate measuring tools, so they could not know whether the silver sheets were beaten evenly or not. What should I do to achieve the desired thickness?

"Listen to the voice!" Ayaoduo said.

"Listen to the sound?"

"Yes, different cases and different hammers make different sounds, and the sounds made by different thicknesses of silver pieces are also different. Listen to this, is the sound clearer and clearer, which means that here It is relatively thin, and the sound knocked here is relatively deep, indicating that it is relatively thick."

Xue Yi stretched his neck and listened for a long time, but couldn't hear the difference at all.

A Yaoduo also said: "Good silver jewelry should not only have a good shape and silvery luster, but also have a good sound. It can be magical when worn on people. No matter it is moving or static, it is pleasant to the ear. One can't help but look at it. By the way, this is the difference between Jinjia silver jewelry and other silver jewelry. If you buy silver jewelry in the future, you should not only look at the shape, workmanship, color, but also listen to the sound. This is what my grandfather told me, and I am only with you People say."

"Just tell me." Xue Yi secretly said that this is taking out the old man, why do you trust her so much, if she wants to steal the Jin family's secrets of making silver jewelry... But the sound of silver is so good Even if you tell her about her skills, she won't be able to learn them.
