The handicraft world of the future

"His~~"

It hurts so much, it's true.

"what are you doing?"

Bai Qiuyu came early in the morning. Because of Lin Xiaohai's authorization, he was able to enter Lin Xiaohai's room, but he saw someone pinch himself after waking up and looking at the communicator. This was the first time he saw such a dumb person .

"A lot of money."

Hold the communicator in front of Bai Qiuyu for him to see, he can buy several villas with that much money.

"Well, there are quite a lot."

After seeing it, Bai Qiuyu said solemnly, but in fact she was about to roll with laughter in her heart.Xiao Hai's silly look is so cute, I really want to kiss him.So it's better to act than to be moved, Bai Qiuyu kissed her directly, and let her go after a while.

"Brother Bai, I will leave it to you to buy a villa in the university town."

Lin Xiaohai directly transferred 500 million credit points to Bai Qiuyu's account. Although he and Bai Qiuyu are in a relationship now, he doesn't want to take advantage of Bai Qiuyu.

"I have money." Bai Qiuyu thought that Lin Xiaohai was cheating on her, and felt unhappy!

"I know, but I'm also a man!"

How can a man use his partner's money, he doesn't want to be a bad face.As for the windfall, Lin Xiaohai didn't think about returning it. Since the other party can pay 200 million, it means that they don't need this little money. At the same time, it also gives those young people a little memory. Not everyone is as talkative as him. It can be said that Bai Qiuyu was merciful, just letting their family lose a little money to go home and then share the parents' beating.If it were someone with a bad temper and a high status, he would never lift it up like Lin Xiaohai and put it down gently this time.Besides, he was almost beaten, just because of this, Lin Xiaohai was full of resentment towards the young men.

"Okay, I got it. What kind of villa do you want?" Since it was decided to let Lin Xiaohai come to the capital to go to university, the villa was naturally bought around the university town in the capital.

"With a larger yard, we can grow vegetables and raise poultry! In the future, we will be able to eat the vegetables and poultry we grow at home." Lin Xiaohai is a small-scale farmer. He thinks buying a villa with a larger yard is better than buying a villa with a smaller yard. Well, not only can you grow things, but you can also build a pond to raise lotus and fish in a big yard.

"That's good. I have to find someone to search for it. Grandma has wanted a lotus pond for a long time." Bai Qiuyu touched his chin and said, and immediately sent a message to Xun Yanwen, asking him to send someone to look for it. It doesn't matter, the main thing is that the yard must be big.

"The leaves of the lotus can be used to cook porridge and stew, and the lotus seeds can also be eaten. I like the lotus root the most. The most important thing is that the flowers that bloom can be admired."

It serves multiple purposes, Lin Xiaohai thought it was pretty beautiful.

"It's such a great kindness, it's because Xiaohai is smart. Planting a lotus in a pond can be eaten and appreciated. It couldn't be more convenient."

Bai Qiuyu patted Lin Xiaohai's head, and seeing that he was happy, he didn't stop him, and even came up with a lot of ideas. The two of them arranged the place where they will live in the next few years or in the future. up.

"The most amazing thing is Brother Bai. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have bought a villa so quickly. Just thinking about the delicacies made of lotus seeds, lotus roots, and lotus leaves would make my mouth water."

Lin Xiaohai touched his mouth and made a look of 'I'm so greedy', which made Bai Qiuyu laugh out loud.

"Hahahaha~ Xiaohai, Xiaohai, you are such a treasure."

He hugged Lin Xiaohai and laughed non-stop, and finally he clutched his stomach and complained of pain.

"It deserves it, who told you to laugh at me." Although he said so on his mouth, he gently rubbed his stomach with his hands.

"My little sea is the best, let me reward you with a kiss."

As Lin Xiaohai pulled his head down, their lips quickly pressed together.

After a few more days, it finally came to the final moment of the competition. Lin Xiaohai packed himself up early in the morning and put on the Hanfu he made himself.Because he didn't like wearing a wig, he tied a headband of the same color on his forehead, giving him the air of a gentleman.

Standing on the embroidery platform, he blinked at Bai Qiuyu and the others, and then focused on the judges.The judges hung up the top ten embroideries and protected them with a protective cover so that everyone at the scene could see the embroideries.Of course, if you want to see clearly, you can only look at the projection next to it. After all, no matter how big the embroidery is, there is a limit, and the things embroidered on the cloth are smaller, and you can only see a bunch of colorful threads at a distance.

Of course, everyone who came to watch the game was holding a telescope. No matter how clear the projection is, it is not as good as looking at the real thing.The Bai family was also among the crowd, and everyone held a telescope in their hands, because Lin Xiaohai's works were also exhibited on stage.

"I checked, and our little sea embroidery is the best."

Grandma Bai is a typical protector, no matter what Lin Xiaohai does, she is always the best in her eyes.

"Ah."

Grandpa Bai didn't talk much, but it seemed that he agreed with his wife's words.Needless to say, Bai Qiuyu was on the side. From the beginning to the end, he only pointed the binoculars at Lin Xiaohai standing on the embroidery platform. As for the embroidery that was hung high on the other side of the large platform, he didn't get the slightest attention. force.

"The top ten works have been released, and now we invite the chief judge to reveal the top three works of the national middle school student embroidery masters for us."

After the famous host invited by the organizer introduced ten works, the final suspense was left to the chief judge to announce.

"Hi everyone, I'm Gong Chang'an. I'm very honored and very happy to be the chief judge of this competition, especially this time the masters of this competition have found a lot of good seedlings. Our hand embroidery has a new successor……"

After speaking for a few minutes, the chief judge above opened the golden post in his hand.

"The work that won the Bronze Award is "Sunrise in the East". This work is majestic and exquisite, and it is very rare for a teenager. Therefore, after the unanimous decision of our judges, he was awarded the Bronze Award."

The boy who won the No.3 bronze medal stepped onto the stage, saluted the surrounding audience, and took over the bronze cup of the competition.Of course, there is no trace of a smile in the eyes of this smiling young man, and it can even be said that there is a little bit of anger in it. Presumably this young man thinks that his work should not be just a bronze award.

However, the organizers and the judging panel didn't care, they could guarantee that the judged works were in line with the rankings they deserved, and there was absolutely no secret operation.

No.3 went down, and No.2 is a picture of a harvest. Compared with No.3's sunrise in the east, the harvest picture is less atmospheric, but more natural. No.2 in terms of talent It is much higher than No.3, at least in Lin Xiaohai's view, No.2's harvest picture gives people a picture of a good harvest, unlike No.3's Sunrise East, which can only be regarded as a Exquisite embroidery.

No matter how exquisite the skills are, without a artistic conception, it is still not beautiful, and this is the gap between the second and the third.After the No. 2 boy with smiles in his eyes walked off the stage holding the silver cup, the most important gold award of this competition will be announced soon.

Lin Xiaohai scratched his chin, and now he started to get nervous, could it be him?

"Let's not reveal who the No.1 Gold Award winner is. Now, please watch the Gold Award winner and see what's so good about it being selected as No.1."

In the end, the organizer still played tricks, spurting out the old blood of the audience below three feet away.Fortunately, everyone can still calm down. Anyway, it has reached this point, so there is nothing to lose if you look at it.

But everyone is guessing, which one of the top ten works is the gold award work?

Soon a picture of Avalokitesvara crossing the sea was pushed out, which is the gold medal of this national embroidery competition for middle school students.

There is nothing surprising at first glance, but if you take a closer look, you will find that Guanyin seems to be alive, especially the compassion revealed in her vivid eyes, and the kindness and kindness make people want to close.

Dressed in a white dress and dancing lotus, with a ring of merit on her head, a clean bottle in one hand, and a willow branch in the other, there are rough sea waves below, and several seagulls flapping their wings and flying around her.

"Amitabha, the Great Merciful and Great Compassionate Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva."

Many Buddhist believers present folded their palms together and bowed down to the image of Guanyin.

There is no need to say more about why this work was selected as the gold medal, just look at the reactions of so many people now.This image of Avalokitesvara is not conspicuous among the ten works, but when the organizer released it alone, the embroidered image of Avalokitesvara was the only one in everyone's eyes.

"Do you know why many people with superb embroidery skills cannot be called masters, but only craftsmen?"

A master asked the disciples around him.

"Disciple doesn't know."

The disciple couldn't answer, but he could also see that there was a big gap between the Guanyin image and the other nine works. Even he couldn't embroider such a vivid image of Guanyin. This work deservedly won the gold medal.

"The most important condition for becoming a master is a bit of spirituality in the technique. If there is no spirituality, no matter how good the embroidery is, and no matter how exquisite the embroidery technique, he can only become a craftsman, not a master."

A craftsman can only copy or make according to other people's requirements, but a master can create independently, and the difference between the two is the little aura.Many people have been stuck in the identity of a craftsman all their lives, and there is only one word difference between them and a master. As a result, their identities are very different.The same work can be sold for as much as one million if the master embroiders it casually, but it is already a high price to sell more than [-] for the craftsman's painstaking efforts.

Obviously it's just a word difference, but because of the lack of that bit of spirituality, the result is not directly proportional to the pay and income. One can be said to barely make money, and the other is a huge profit.So everyone wants to become a master, but how easy is it to become a master?On this point, I don't know how many skilled embroidery masters have been blocked from the threshold of masters, and can only become craftsmen.

Lin Xiaohai's Avalokitesvara image, apart from being immature in terms of embroidery skills, can already be regarded as a quasi-master, especially the aura in the embroidery, which is very compelling. Many masters who have been famous for many years are here It's not like him in this respect.It can be said that as long as Lin Xiaohai's embroidery skills are up to him, he can easily step into the ranks of masters, because he has already passed the most important point.

If such a work cannot win the gold award, the notarization of the sponsor and the jury should be suspect.

"I invite the No.1 Gold Award winner, Lin Xiaohai from No. [-] High School in Province S."

As the host's words fell, Lin Xiaohai walked down from his embroidered stage, walked up to the podium calmly and calmly under the eyes of everyone, and took the gold cup from the chief judge. Bonuses of [-] credits.The communicator beeps twice, which means the transfer is successful.

"Student Lin Xiaohai, do you have anything to say?"

This is the second step that No.3 does not have. It can be seen that the gold medal is really valued in this kind of national competition.

"Thank you for the people who silently supported me behind the scenes. He has worked hard for these two months." Lin Xiaohai looked at Bai Qiuyu and said. Thinking of everything for himself, Lin Xiaohai felt that Bai Qiuyu had done too much for him, and what he paid back was less than one ten-thousandth of what the other party paid.

"Is there anything else to say?"

The host is only dissatisfied with such a short sentence!I have to say a few more words, everyone wants to hear the speech of the gold medal winner!

"Does the competition work I embroider belong to me?"

Lin Xiaodai's thinking will never follow the normal route, this is definitely not what the host wants to hear.

"...return."

There were already people laughing out loud below. Although everyone was a little far away from the award-winning stage, the projection honestly magnified everything on the stage.

"It's okay, this Guanyin is like the best work I embroidered. If it doesn't belong to me, I may not be able to embroider such a good work for a long time in the future."

Lin Xiaohai looked at the Guanyin statue, especially the eyes.

"Okay! I figured it out, student Lin Xiaohai is very real."

There was another burst of laughter below.

"Then Lin Xiaohai, can you tell us, what is the embroidering of the eyes of this Guanyin statue? The masters have seen it, but no one told me when I asked them. I wonder if everyone is also curious. Huh? Such expressive eyes must not be embroidered with ordinary embroidery thread, right? "

The audience below the host, everyone answered 'yes' in unison. '

"Actually, there's nothing to keep secret. The masters don't say it because they want to leave this answer to me to reveal the secret!" Lin Xiaohai looked at the judges, and saw them smiling and nodding, it seems that he guessed right.

"Then can you tell everyone?"

"Embroidered with hair."

Lin Xiaohai said it without hesitation, which caused a burst of exclamation from below.

Hair can still be embroidered?Many people who don't know embroidery shouted.

"Yes, hair can indeed be embroidered. In the embroidery industry, there is a craft called hair embroidery. This is not authentic hair embroidery. I just refer to hair embroidery and modify it. The authentic hair embroidery will be more delicate and beautiful. , I still have a lot to learn.”

Lin Xiaohai bowed humbly to everyone, the host finally let him go after getting the answer, but the Guanyin statue will remain on the stage for everyone to appreciate, and the Guanyin statue will be returned to Lin Xiaohai after it is over.

After getting off the podium, winners from No. 10, No. [-] to No. [-] gathered around. Everyone admired Lin Xiaohai in their eyes. People in the same age group can win gold awards, but they Not even close.As long as he is a capable person, he can win the applause of everyone. Even if some people have dissatisfaction in their hearts, he can't accuse the judges of being unfair.

The No.3 winner stood aside and watched coldly, the bronze cup in his hand was casually thrown aside by him, a little contemptuous of these people who supported Lin Xiaohai.

What's so great, isn't it a gold medal in the National Middle School Students Embroidery Competition!Who knows if there was a secret operation, or he won the gold medal.Some people have the mentality of saying that grapes are sour because they can't eat grapes. In fact, he himself knows very well that Lin Xiaohai's gold award has no water at all, and it is the real merit.

"You are amazing. I always thought that my work must be a gold medal. Who knows that after seeing your Avalokitesvara statue, I know that I am still far behind!"

The winner of the silver medal, Ou Mingyu, looked at Lin Xiaohai with stars in his eyes, always thought that he was a genius in the eyes of everyone, and even many masters were vying to accept him as a disciple. If it is transformed, it can fill several warehouses.But today he realized what his teacher had been trying to tell him all along, what is: there are people beyond people, and there is a sky beyond the sky.

"You're not bad either. It's very rare in this age group."

Only then did Lin Xiaohai feel that the winner of the Silver Award was very good!He is a real teenager, and his soul age is over twenty.

"Can I go to you in the future? Your embroidery skills are so good, and the teacher also said that it would be better for me to spend more time with my peers, but few people like to discuss embroidery with me."

Ou Mingyu had a look of pity. He was highly praised by everyone, and ordinary teenagers were not willing to associate with him. If they got too close, everyone would compare them together. Once or twice is fine, but more often. No one wants to be with Ou Mingyu anymore.

Many of the teenagers who participated in the competition knew Ou Mingyu, and they were secretly happy to see him lose this time. They were overwhelmed by Ou Mingyu before. To them, Ou Mingyu was someone else's child, and they hated them very much.Seeing him being pushed down and being deprived of the gold medal now, the pressure in his heart that has been unable to breathe has dissipated a lot at once.

For Lin Xiaohai who can compare to Ou Mingyu, although they couldn't please him, they admired him very much. I heard that he didn't have a teacher, and he studied alone. This kind of talent is truly terrifying.But when a person's talent exceeds human expectations, it will not cause huge pressure on it, which is negligible compared to the pressure brought by Ou Mingyu.

In contrast, compared with Ou Mingyu, who has known each other for more than ten years but has been pressing on their heads, it is not as close as they are to Lin Xiaohai, so a group of teenagers gathered around Lin Xiaohai to ask for embroidery skills, all wanting to ask him what is going on? How to embroider embroidery with aura.

"I was in high school in province S, and I was only a sophomore in the second half of the year."

Lin Xiaohai answered Ou Mingyu's words, school was about to start, and he didn't stay in the capital for a long time, so he didn't have time to meet Ou Mingyu at all.

"Pity."

With a look of disappointment, Ou Mingyu is very pure, and his talent is not bad, but he is the kind of person who has to do one thing seriously, including embroidery.Usually, he rarely communicates with everyone, and it's rare that a peer who doesn't seem to dislike him wants to go back to S province before school starts.

"But I will come to Beijing to study in college."

Lin Xiaohai thought for a while and said again, and sure enough, Ou Mingyu's eyes lit up, and he and Lin Xiaohai left communication numbers with each other, even if they couldn't visit, they could still make calls!Discussion on embroidery techniques can also be done over the phone. The phone is not the same as it was a thousand years ago, most of them are just a voice.
