I live in Miao Village

Xue Yi turned his head and glanced at A Yaoduo. A Yaoduo's expression was normal. Seeing her looking over, she asked suspiciously what's the matter, let's go.

"It's nothing." Xue Yi replied uncomfortably, and stepped over the threshold to enter.

Mr. Jin's old silver workshop looks low and dilapidated, but in fact it has a hidden hole.

Stepping over the knee-high threshold, the first thing you see is the bull's head hanging on the opposite wall. Under the pair of horns that are more than one meter long, there is a pair of piercing eyes. Every hair around is meticulously made, which looks like Live the same, mighty and majestic, swallowing mountains and rivers with arrogance.

"The Miao people especially worship cows, especially the horns, which are almost like totems. Whether it is the utensils for toasting or the silver ornaments on girls' heads, there are traces of horns. In addition, people usually hang a A bull's head or a pair of horns, praying that it can bless the whole family with health and safety, and good weather in all seasons."

Xue explained to the audience outside the screen while shooting with the camera. Some audience asked if this is a real bull head?Xue Yi smiled and said it shouldn't be, otherwise it would be scary, and asked A Yaoduo secretly, A Yaoduo said it was true, when slaughtering a cow, it would be cut off and hung on the wall.

Xue Yi brain made up the picture, and felt goosebumps all over the ground, saying it wouldn't be bad?Your anti-corrosion technology is really good.

Seeing that she couldn't help staying away from the horn, Ayaoduo said with a smile that she was lying to you, only the horn is real, and the others are done by someone else.

"..." Xue Yi: Ayaoduo, you are being naughty again.

Except for the bull head in the main hall, the walls on both sides of the silver workshop are covered with various silver ornaments. The surface of the silver ornaments is black and yellow. To the west is a stove with a chimney leading to the outside.

Mr. Jin sat in front of the workbench and said earnestly: "Mr. Xue, don't blame me for being xenophobic and patriarchal. No one can change the rules set by our ancestors. The silver jewelry making skills of our Jin family have been passed down for hundreds of years. Except A Yao Duo, her third uncle, has never had a foreign surname. I have been in Yinfang for 50 years at least. Except for you and A Yaoduo, there has never been a foreign surname.

You are a reporter so I let you in. Our gold and silver jewelry has been handed down for hundreds of years, and it is about to be broken when I see it. I am sorry to my ancestors. I won’t talk about it. You can shoot as much as you can. I didn’t let you I didn’t tell you not to shoot. When you go out of this door, people ask you where these videos were shot. You don’t know, and neither do I. Do you understand? "

"Understood, understood." Xue Yi nodded in a daze, always having a bad feeling, as if Mr. Jin was making a will.

"Ayaoduo, come here." Mr. Jin squinted his eyes to look at the silver bubbles made by Ayaoduo, nodded for a while, shook his head for a while, and finally let out a sigh of relief, and said, "Grandpa, I'm sorry for you. To teach you, I didn’t show you how I make silver jewelry, but I will show you for a while today, you have to study hard, you know?”

A Yaoduo nodded emphatically, "Grandpa, am I not doing well?"

"No." Mr. Jin smiled kindly, and his deep crow's feet were engraved with vicissitudes, "I regret not teaching you more. You have mastered the skills and characteristics of the Jin family's silver jewelry. What is lacking now is experience and experience. It's a pity. , I don't have much time."

"Grandpa, don't talk nonsense, you promised me to live to nine hundred and ninety nine."

"Yes, yes, nine hundred and nine." Mr. Jin smiled kindly, "Look carefully, don't be lazy."

What Mr. Jin made for A Yaoduo was a pair of silver bracelets with butterfly flying flowers and cloud patterns, which involved many crafts, mainly including forging, wire drawing, weaving, chiseling, carving, etc. The decorations are exquisite and the process is complicated.

First of all, the large outline of the bracelet must be forged, and then the extremely thin silver wires are drawn out with a perforated wire drawing board, woven into a butterfly pattern, and finally the butterfly is welded to the hollowed-out bracelet with a blowing tube, and flowers are also carved. , the whole process is a test of patience, one step cannot be wrong, and if you make a mistake, you have to start all over again.

Mr. Jin is getting old and not strong enough. Ayaoduo helped when drawing the silver thread.

The drawing used a tool called an eyelet drawing board. Xue Yi had heard Ayaoduo say it several times before, but he didn't know what it was until now. There are successively holes with different diameters.

To make silver wires of different thicknesses, first beat the silver ingots into extremely thin silver wires, pass them through the holes of the corresponding size, and pull them hard. The diameter of the obtained silver wires is roughly the diameter of the holes.

Sometimes it is necessary to make very thin silver wires. It is not possible to pull the smallest hole as soon as it comes, because the silver wire is too thin and it is easy to break. You have to start with a large hole and slowly shrink it until you get the desired thickness. The whole process It takes time and effort, and people who are restless cannot do this job.

Xue Yi explained: "Drawing silver wires as thin as a few millimeters seems very simple to us now, and it is enough to input numbers on the computer, but this skill was a pioneering work at that time. The book says that they are the world's first. One of the first people in the world to master this technology."

[Oh my God, Ayaoduo must study hard and pass on this technique! ] The audience expressed their pity and hoped that Ayaoduo would study hard. Xue glanced at the white hair on the temples of Mr. Jin and wondered how much time Ayaoduo still had to study.

After the silver wire is drawn, the next step is to weave flowers and butterfly shapes.

Mr. Jin had calluses in his hands, but he was very dexterous when weaving flowers. The silver thread and auxiliary pliers turned over and over in his hands, and a butterfly that was about to fly gradually appeared in front of everyone.

The entire production process has no pauses, no mistakes, and no drawings. You can weave wherever you think of, flowing and flowing, and it is natural. The silver thread is not too much, just enough to weave a butterfly. When the silver thread ends at the butterfly's eye , the whole silver butterfly seems to have life, it seems that it will fly away if you don't pay attention

[Purely handmade, my God, I don't look at the drawings at all. ]

[The old man is indeed a master of silver jewelry making, so beautiful. ]

[Duomei must study hard, you don’t know how much we lack without this skill now. ]

[Old Cousin Jin is such an asshole, for such a good condition and environment, he didn’t study hard, and he knew he was a loser all day long. ]

[Fortunately, there is A Yaoduo, sister Duo, come on! ]

[Is the old man still missing a son?The grandson is also good, want to learn. ]

"The next step is welding. Mastering the heat is the key. If the fire is too high, the silver jewelry will be melted. If the fire is too small, the welding will be effortless..." Mr. Jin explained to A Yaoduo how to check the heat while he was doing it. It was soon evening.

Xue Yi wanted to watch it again, but it would be dark and the wholesale market would be closed. If he couldn’t get any goods today, he would be delayed for another day tomorrow. Xue Yi had to go back to class tomorrow, but the audience wanted to watch It’s amazing, it’s said that a craftsman like Mr. Jin is one less time to watch, if you dare not record it, we will report it, there is no way, Xue Yi has to give Ayaoduo the camera and glasses, and buy the goods by himself.

Hurrying quickly, Xue Yi finally bought the goods to be imported before the wholesale market was completely closed. On the way back to the old silver workshop, he met Xia Xiang and Hao Qianyi. He didn't know what Ayaoduo had done to them. Seeing her respectful, the teacher called her and offered to help her get things.

"Ayaoduo threatened you?"

"No, no." Xia Xiang shook his head again and again, and said, "Our conscience has discovered that if we offended the teacher in the past, we hope that the teacher will have a lot of people, and don't care about us villains!"

"There are a lot of adults? Don't care about villains? When did you become so educated? You said you weren't threatened!" Xue Yixin said that Ayaoduo is also true, but I can't figure out what's wrong?I want you to manage!

Before I reached the old silver workshop, I heard a sharp and mean woman's voice from inside, "I said why I don't see you every weekend, so I was here to teach this wild girl, and all the uncles and in-laws have seen it , Ayaoduo is stealing from the Jin family's silver jewelry, right?"

It was Ayaoduo's grandmother's voice. Xue Yi and the others looked at each other and hurriedly ran towards the old silver workshop. As soon as they entered the door, they saw Mrs. Jin and Mrs. Jin bringing a group of uncles and in-laws, talking and pointing. Some said that Mr. Jin was confused, some said how girls could learn to make silver ornaments, and some said that it violated the ancestral etiquette. The silver ornaments of the Jin family have always been handed down to the eldest son of the main house. Cousins ​​like them can't learn, Ayao Duo How can a woman with a foreign surname learn?

"Grandpa taught me this. How do you call it stealing? Some of you can learn but can't, and some want to learn but can't. What do you say here? If you have the ability, let my grandpa teach you too?" A Yao Duo stood up straight, with the look of "this girl is favored, how about it, if you refuse to accept it, hang yourself to death", it is very relieved!

"Ayaoduo." Mr. Jin didn't acknowledge or refute Ayaoduo's words, but kept coughing.

Old Cousin Jin snorted coldly: "Ayaoduo, didn't you move out of the Jin family and want to sever justice with the Jin family? After you severed ties with the Jin family and came back to study, you were stealing. Don't think that my dad is fooling me when he is old. He, we know it! Besides, even if you didn't sever ties with the Jin family, girls can't learn from him. "

After hearing this, everyone who was ridiculed by A Yaoduo so that they didn't know where to put their faces, immediately returned to the scene, saying yes yes yes.

Xue Yi noticed that there was a particularly authoritative couple in the crowd, both of them were sitting in wheelchairs, with white hair all over their heads, and everyone was afraid of them when they talked.

After asking Xia Xiang, I found out that these are the uncle and aunt of Mr. Jin. They are the oldest, oldest and most prestigious in the clan, so they stood up and said: "I have always heard that the Jin family is the most silver jewellery, and the family rules are very strict. , why did you actually bully a little girl when you saw it today?"

"It's you again? This is our family business, please leave." Old Cousin Jin didn't like Xue Yi, so he waved someone to drive her away. Xia Xiang and Hao Qianyi stood in front of Xue Yi and shouted out the door on purpose. Sentence, outside, come in quickly.

Xue Yi understood immediately, stopped him from calling someone, and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, I just don't like some people bullying others, so I just want to say a few words of justice. These two are the grandpa and grandma, right? It's a teacher who went to Danliu Miao Village to help teach, and also a reporter named Xue Yi. Originally, I shouldn't interfere in the Jin family's family affairs, but I have to say something fair."

After Xue Yi finished speaking, he nodded slightly to the elders and made a nod.

Fang Party Secretary Zhuyu was in front, and the people here respected the teachers, especially the supporting teachers. Xue Yi was also a reporter, so everyone looked at her with admiration, and the two elders also nodded slightly to Xue Yi.

"Mr. Jin, you said that Ayaoduo has broken off her relationship with Jin Jiaen. Is there any evidence? Who can prove it? Does the grandpa and grandma know?"

"This... She said it herself, if you don't believe me, you can ask her!" Old Cousin Jin pointed at Ayaoduo, Ayaoduo: "No." Looking at the others, they all said nothing, whether it was a wedding, Whether to adopt or sever the relationship, you must inform the elders of the clan and everyone. Ayaoduo left in a hurry last time, so how could she have time to tell them all?

Xue Yi said again: "Very good, no, why would you learn something secretly? Could it be that Mr. Jin drove A Yaoduo away in private?"

"No, don't talk nonsense, Ayaoduo moved away by herself! Everyone knows this."

"Then do you know why Ayaoduo moved away?" Xue Yi took out a stack of receipts from his bag, each of them handed out a receipt, and said while sending out: "Everyone, please look, this is Mr. Jin's receipt of Ayao's receipt." Duo’s receipt for the accommodation fee, with the signatures of Mr. Jin and Fang Zhishu. But why do I remember that my mother’s family will be struck by lightning when they receive the support money from their son-in-law?”

Xue Yi walked all the way in front of A Yaoduo, took off her glasses and put them on, the audience: [The host is amazing, she always takes the receipt with her wherever she goes. ]
