The years when I opened a farmhouse in my hometown

Shen Xiaoyun suggested: "We definitely don't have as many places to play here as outside, but we have many craftsmen in Yunshui Village, and they all have unique skills. Like blacksmiths, craftsmen who make jewelry, and carpenters who make pottery and pottery. Yes, they do pure hand embroidery and make oiled paper umbrellas, they can support a big family with this, if you are interested, I will take you to have a look."

"That's great. Aren't folk artists popular now? There are fewer and fewer such craftsmen. I heard from the anchor that everyone in your village is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."

"Anchor, tell me, what else does your village not know?"

"It's okay anyway, just take us to see it, anchor."

With a group of people, Shen Xiaoyun returned home first, put away the thorns in the two baskets, took out some thorns and mulberries, and left them for Zhang Duoduo and her grandparents to taste.

"Grandpa and grandma should try it too. This is a kind of small wild fruit in our country. It's sweet and sour, and the taste is not bad." Shen Xiaoyun handed the small basket to the two old people. Zhang Duoduo's grandpa and grandma were sitting in Shen Xiaoyun's house. In front of the yard, I looked at the flowers in front of the yard from time to time, strolled around, saw them coming back and then came back for a walk, and now I can still eat the wild fruits brought back by Shen Xiaoyun, and the smiling eyes became a gap.

"Xiaoxiao, she still thinks about our two elders when she goes out to play, okay, let's eat later." The two elders accepted it with a smile.

Zhang Duoduo also went out to play, she really didn't expect Shen Xiaoyun to bring some to her grandparents, she immediately felt a little warm in her heart.

The presenter is very kind.

There was a lot of dirt under the feet of the tourists who came back from the fields, Shen Xiaoyun found a brush and asked them to pick up some water from the well and brush it.

"You guys wash first, I'll go and get my phone." After eating, Shen Xiaoyun took the phone to charge, and going to the village now is a good time to promote the characteristics of their Yunshui Village, but do not miss it.

After getting the mobile phone, the tourists also brushed their shoes and washed their hands, and followed Shen Xiaoyun to the home of the craftsman in the village.

Although every household now has laborers who come to Shen Xiaoyun's house to help, but the young and the old will stay at home, they can't do heavy physical work, and some light handicraft work is not a problem.

The first house Shen Xiaoyun took the tourists to was not far from Shen Xiaoyun's house, and it was about 200 meters away. Just like the roadside in front of his house, the roads and yards in front of every house were paved with grain The stones are beautiful and clean.

This family is a bamboo craftsman. There are a lot of bamboos piled up in the yard at the entrance, some are thick and some are thin. At this time, there are two old people sitting on bamboo chairs in the yard, and the woman is weaving a small basket with her fingers. Everyone enters the yard. When I saw the old man flipping her fingers, the thin and thin bamboo strips were flying around her fingertips, and the rows of braided bamboo strips were wrapped around. The small baskets were thin and densely woven, light yellow The knitted texture is very comfortable to look at.

The old man next to her used a small side knife to cut open the long bamboo strips, and cut out long and thin bamboo strips.

"Grandma Taigao, I'll bring some people over to have a look at the baskets you made. They are all tourists from other places and want to come and have a look." Shen Xiaoyun greeted the two older elders and saw what the two old people planned to do. Going to the house to pour water for the tourists, Shen Xiaoyun told the old man to be polite.

"It's okay, it's too, too high, let's come and play." A group of boys were also a little embarrassed, and hurriedly refused.

"It's too high, please be busy, let's take a look."

The tourists didn't know how to address the two old people, and seeing Shen Xiaoyun calling them this way, they also shouted this way.Shen Xiaoyun wanted to help promote it, so she helped the old man and took everyone into the house to see the finished products.

Almost every house in Yunshui Village is similar. There is a very large and spacious living room. Above the living room is a long desk with an Eight Immortals table in the middle. Chairs and stools are usually placed on both sides, against the wall, and on the roof. There are hanging sorghum poles and dried mugwort leaves.

Like this one, they do handicraft work. Most of the empty space in the house is filled with daily necessities made of bamboo, such as summer mats, bamboo beds, bamboo deck chairs, small chairs, armchairs, and sofas. There are chaise longue chairs in the shape of a large bamboo box, the kind with a lid.One by one is very fine, the edges are smoothed with a scrub cloth and then coated with a layer of beeswax, which can prevent insects and make the surface smoother and more textured.

Not only these, there are many other empty houses, such as bamboo drying sieves hanging on the walls, and the rows are full. These are very commonly used in Yunshui Village, such as drying some vegetables or sifting bones, Beans, rice, rice bran, etc. are often used.

In order to make it easier for everyone to know, and to let everyone know more clearly what these are used for, Shen Xiaoyun became a commentator for a while.

At the same time, he also turned on the live broadcast on his mobile phone. After greeting the netizens, he began to introduce them one by one.

Shen Xiaoyun held a shallow dustpan made of light yellow bamboo in his hand. There are large and small dustpans. The small one is only as big as a plate, and the shallow one is really no different from a plate. The big one is as big as two hands .

"These are all made of bamboo, a pure handicraft. The small ones can be used to wash rice and vegetables, the larger ones can be used to store vegetables, and the larger ones can be used to dry things. The mother shakes it back and forth, so this big one is also called a dustpan, collectively referred to as a bamboo basket. This kind of basket is generally very densely woven, and the bamboo pieces are relatively thin."

"And this kind of sieve frame made of thinner and rounder bamboo strips has small gaps. We usually use it to fish rice. Like us here, we often cook firewood rice. There is rice soup. When the rice is half cooked, we need to We usually use this sieve basket to filter rice soup.” Shen Xiaoyun held a small washbasin-sized basket in his hand, which was still the same as the previous basket, but this time the sieve frame was deeper, and the weaving was not so dense. The edging is thicker.

Putting down the sieve basket for fishing rice in his hand, Shen Xiaoyun picked up the bamboo basket drawer on the side. The bamboo craftsman's house not only has the traditional prototype bamboo drawer drawer, but also square ones, with borders and without borders.

"Well, everyone should know that steamed buns, steamed buns, or rice, like this kind of denser ones with small gaps, can be used to steam rice."

"These are bamboo baskets, big and small, they can be used to hold things..."

"These are bamboo baskets, some in the shape of a gourd, some in the shape of a funnel, and some in the shape of a wine bottle..."

"This is a food box. It has three layers. The inside is made of bamboo strips. It is very delicate. If you are interested, you can take a look."

"Here are all mats, all of which are woven with very thin bamboo strips. Like weaving clothes, the lines are very dense. Each bamboo strip is cut very thin. Sleeping on them will not disturb people, and the mats are very soft. , each piece has been polished well, there will be no burrs and burrs, like the upper layer is very smooth, it feels slippery, it is smeared with beeswax..." Shen Xiaoyun pointed to roll it into a cylinder shape, and tied it with a straw rope Shake out a mat for tourists to enjoy.

These mats are all light yellow with a touch of tender green. When they are shaken and spread out, there is a scent of bamboo. They feel icy and cool to the touch. Just like what Shen Xiaoyun said, the mats woven by this family are really extremely smooth. , It feels very good to the touch, even if it is woven with bamboo strips, it is still flat and slippery to the touch.

This family is a true craftsman. Whether it is the living room, the vacated bedroom, or the warehouse, there are a lot of bamboo products, ranging from reclining chairs and bamboo beds to combs, spoons and chopsticks for eating. A lot of places with gaps have been placed.Although there are a lot of things, they are neatly arranged, and the corresponding things are placed separately. When you look at it, it looks like a shelf placed outside. Come to see these handicrafts with exquisite workmanship and marvel. endlessly.

From time to time, touch and take a look, many people take out their mobile phones to take pictures and send them to Moments.

The baskets, dustpans, and rice sieves that Shen Xiaoyun introduced at the beginning, these things, the tourists looked at them strangely, and exclaimed in their mouths, but they didn't think of buying them, because they were not needed, but they saw those bamboo combs later, and found that Hairpins, chopsticks, small bowls polished from bamboo, and drinking cups, I was a little careful.

Now seeing those mats, smelling the fragrance of bamboo leaves, the touch is also very smooth, whether it is the front or the back, it is smooth, without the slightest burr, many tourists are a little moved, Especially the girls, as well as Zhang Duoduo's grandparents, looked at this good mat, and couldn't move.

"This mat is good. This kind of mat is the most comfortable to sleep on. Xiaoxiao, please ask me, is this mat for sale? How can I sell it?" Zhang Duoduo's grandma couldn't put it down as she touched the cold mat. I watched and watched, but I couldn't bear to let go.

Shen Xiaoyun saw that everyone liked these mats very much. After asking about the height of this one, he took apart a few more, and the other few had patterns and patterns. Each mat had a different pattern, with flowers and grass, and some with The patterns of small animals amazed the onlookers.

"This is really amazing. It's really well edited. If it wasn't because it's not easy to get and the distance is too long, I would also like to sell a bed." Just sleep on the mat, he thinks this is mainly because of his parents in his hometown.

I used to sleep on this kind of mat when I was young, but now that the conditions are better, there are fewer bamboo craftsmen, and even fewer people weave mats. If you want to buy, most of them are made by machines. Not to mention expensive, sometimes there are burrs. Yes, they are all strips of bamboo, and the back of the mat is woven with yarn. After sleeping for a long time, there are lines of marks on the face and arms.

"I want to buy it as I said, but unfortunately the traffic here is not good, and this one doesn't seem to be loaded, so it's not easy to carry." It is estimated that it is really a big cylinder, like carrying a cannon, and the road back is so long. , others thought he was a fool.

As soon as Shen Xiaoyun heard it, he immediately felt that there was a joke, and hurriedly asked too high a question. Of course, when he asked, he used their native dialect of Yunshui Village.

Most of the things in Yunshui Village are self-produced and sold, and the price is unbelievably cheap. If it is really sold at this price, and more netizens come to buy it in the future, if the price increases again, it will definitely cause controversy, so Shen Xiaoyun uses The native dialect was discussed with Tai Gao in advance.

Tai Gao was very happy when he heard that someone wanted to buy a summer mat from his house, and he compared it to Shen Xiaoyun.

"20 yuan... No, the price is too low. It's too high. I'll raise the price. Don't worry, I won't cheat others. You all made this mat yourself. It's purely handmade. It's not easy to make. , It’s worth the price, I’ll talk to them later, if they think it’s not worth it, then forget it.” Shen Xiaoyun talked to Tai Gao in his native dialect, and the old man felt that Shen Xiaoyun’s price was too high, so he was very worried.

"I discussed with Taigao. This mat is 1.5 sheets for 81 meters, 1.8 for [-] meters, and [-] for [-] meters. It doesn't matter whether it has patterns or not." Shen Xiaoyun thought about the prices sold outside. , After comparing, quote such a price.

To be honest, the price is not high. Although you can buy bamboo mats of similar price online, it is really hard to find a hand-woven one that can sleep on both sides of the square.

Shen Xiaoyun was not afraid of driving people away when he quoted this price. Sure enough, after hearing this price, several tourists who wanted mats immediately showed excited expressions.

"It's still quite cheap. I'm afraid that this kind of pure handmade things will be too expensive. The price is very good, anchor, give me one of 1.5 meters and two meters." Shen Xinyue immediately bought two. She took the lead to play in Yunshui Village. When she came here, she also liked the scenery of Yunshui Village. When she saw these mats, she opened them carefully and found that both sides were smooth, without the texture of frost. It felt slippery to the touch. She was a little moved, and when she heard the price quoted by Shen Xiaoyun, it completely exceeded her expectations.

Really low.

This kind of mat can sleep on both sides, and the bamboo strips are soft and thin. Buying it at this price is really like picking up a treasure. It is simply an unexpected surprise.

Immediately, she transferred the money to Shen Xiaoyun.

"Anchor, let me transfer the money to you. I don't have any cash with me. The money is too high for you to trouble me." Shen Xinyue was unequivocal. She is a loyal fan of Shen Xiaoyun. Such good things must be paid immediately Buy it.

Shen Xiaoyun nodded, checked the transfer, turned around and told Taigao, this Taigao still believed in Shen Xiaoyun, waved his hand and didn't care much, let Shen Xiaoyun come.

With the first order led by Shen Xinyue, Zhang Duoduo's family later came to Sanchuan, and then two younger brothers placed orders. It can be said that the response was not bad.

The girls who came with Shen Xinyue didn't buy mats. They bought some small bowls made of bamboo, some chopsticks, hairpin spoons, some spoons and small round boxes made of bamboo.

"Xinyue, you bought this mat, how do you get it when you go back?" The girl who came with her frowned, very worried.

"That's right. The road here is not good, and the traffic is not good. I think when you go back, people will look at you like a fool." In fact, they also want to buy it, but the mat can only be rolled up, like carrying a cannon. Standing on the shoulders is like a fool, they really can't afford to lose this person.

Shen Xinyue shrugged indifferently: "It's okay, I'm all here, and I'm afraid of these two mats, besides, no one else knows me, what's wrong with carrying the mats, I didn't steal it, I'm afraid of shit."

Shen Xinyue's good friends didn't want to talk to her anymore.

Zhang Duoduo wanted to cry even more. She advised grandma several times not to buy it, because it was not easy to take it back, but grandma also bought three mats, each of which was two meters long.

Grandpa was still helping to choose and talk: "Duoduo, this mat is good. It is comfortable to sleep and raises people. We used to sleep on this one. It is cool and not hot. We will buy three beds. You have one bed. Your dad Mom, I share the bed with your grandma, no one can be left behind. If you can’t get it, call your father to come and get it.”

Zhang Duoduo thought to herself, this is pretty much the same, and then she thought that grandma bought chickens and ducks, and she suddenly had a headache.

As a result, I bought a mat, and I also bought a dustpan, a sieve basket, a lunch box, various baskets, small bamboo bowls, chopsticks, spoons, etc., as long as I think it looks good and interesting, I have to have a copy.

"Duoduo, this thing is cheap. Where can I buy such a cheap thing at home? It's all handicraft work, so you can rest assured that it can be used in normal times, and I didn't buy it randomly." Grandma and grandpa didn't think so , that expression is like picking up a baby.

Zhang Duoduo covered her head, because there were so many people, she couldn't say anything, she could only watch grandma and the others choose one after another, even bought several claws and brushes for washing dishes. When she heard the price, she wished to buy ten of them eight.

Zhang Duoduo talked about it, and finally bought two.

"Look, Duo Duo, this brush, this bamboo strip, is so thin, it's very dense, it's the best for washing pots, and it's only two yuan, what a bargain."

It's cheap, it's good, but you don't have to buy so many.

Although it is said that Dad will take it, isn't she carrying it now?

Zhang Duoduo felt stupid.

After watching this house, Shen Xiaoyun led a group of people to another house. This house was not far away, separated by a few hundred meters. There were two elderly people in the house, who were also full of white hair and full of energy. Looking at a large group of people, I was very surprised.

"Xiaoxiao, they all come from the city? It's too hard to come here. I don't have anything to eat here. I don't know if they are used to it." The old man took out a bag of pumpkin seeds from home, Put it on two ceramic plates and serve it out, and warmly greet tourists to come and eat.

"Come, eat melon seeds, fried at home, I don't know if the children in your city like to eat them." The old man was very enthusiastic, and he was relieved after seeing that everyone took some to eat.

Taigao's family is using boiled rice paste to coat worn-out pieces of cloth, and the grandma is sitting under the eaves with a thin blanket on her knees, and she is pulling needles and threads one by one to make various cloth shoes.

Seeing everyone's curiosity, Shen Xiaoyun walked up to Taigao and pointed to the rows of wooden boards placed against the wall.

These boards were dismantled from the door of their own house and used to put cloth for plastering.

"These are cloth ends cut from old clothes. After washing, they are coated with boiled rice paste and pasted on wooden boards. Usually, the cloth ends are covered with four or five layers of paste, and they are placed outside to dry. The dried cloth The shell can be used to make insoles, shoe uppers, or the lining of purses, small backpacks, and cross-body bags, and the things made in this way are not only stylish, but also in good shape after washing, and durable.”

"Grandmother is putting in the soles of the shoes. She is making soft-soled cloth shoes. The bottom insoles are made of soft cloth with needles and threads. They are comfortable to wear. They are made of single-layer cloth shells, which are suitable for this season. , even if you wear it every day, you can wear it for a year." Shen Xiaoyun's words are not false, like in their village, many old people like to wear this kind of shoes, and they really wear them every day. The upper of the shoe is very old in one or two years, and the sole is worn out in the end, and there is no way to change it.

Like this, stitch by stitch, all handmade, layer by layer, the cloth shoes are durable and comfortable, and there will never be a situation where the thread is opened and the edge is broken, even if a thread is broken, it will not affect it.

"Grandmother's house not only makes shoes, insoles, purses, small backpacks, but also embroidery, such as round fans, sachets, tiger-head shoes, embroidered shoes, and wedding clothes. Grandmother's also has them. Come in with me and have a look. If you like something, you can take one or two back with you." Shen Xiaoyun felt that she was really becoming more and more talented as a salesman.

The tourists have long been stunned by the thousand-layer bottom in the hands of the grandma. They saw that the grandma was holding a needle and thread. The needle was thicker than they usually saw, and the cotton thread used was also very thick. Each stitch was made with a thimble. Penetrate the layered bottom with force, and then pull out the cotton thread. In this way, the face soles of the bottom layer are all shuttled with needles and threads, and formed into small knots the size of sesame seeds. Each small knot is closely connected. It is not difficult to imagine. , How much manual work does this pair of shoes cost.

"This is the real cloth shoe, stitch by stitch. I remember my grandma also wore this kind of shoes at that time. The soles were very soft. I thought it was extinct outside. I didn't expect that there are still people making this kind of shoes here, anchor." , That's great." A boy said with a sigh.

"I haven't seen this kind of thing before. Just looking at it makes me feel very solid and durable." And regardless of the old woman's age, she is particularly vigorous when she pulls the needle and thread. Yes, nearly two centimeters behind the soles are covered with knots.

Young people are amazed at this kind of old-fashioned thousand-layer bottom, but they don't care much. What they fancy are those embroidered shoes and sachets. These not only have bright colors that girls like, such as beautiful flowers and small animals.There are also those suitable for men, the color is more deep and atmospheric, and the ones on it are embroidered with cloud brocade, or golden snakes, dragons and pythons, and eagles spreading their wings. The kind of missing stitches or sparse stitches, the thread ends of the stitches are well hidden, which makes tourists love it very much.

"Anchor, please ask my grandma, how do you sell these?" Those cloth shoes not only look good, they are also soft and comfortable to the touch, and the insoles underneath are also made of thousand-ply bottom, with various designs and patterns. Dazzling, several handsome guys even wanted to try it on.

"Can I try it first?"
