After graduation, I went home to keep bees

Sun Zheyuan also felt that it would be best for Jiang Xiaoman to go with them.

This is how he persuaded Jiang Youliang——

"I think letting Xiaoman go with him and showing his face in front of the county leaders will be of great benefit to his future career development."

"Uncle Liang, you don't know. In the past few years in our county, although there are many support policies for rural youths returning to their hometowns to start businesses, there are also many people applying in each township."

"Although it is said to be a fair competition, if you can make Xiaoman feel familiar in front of the leader, and the next time the approval report is sent to the leader, the leader will still be an acquaintance at first glance, won't the first impression score be higher than others? "

Sun Zheyuan really understood the old man's mind.

As soon as he heard that it was good for his son, Jiang Youliang immediately stopped objecting.

Jiang Xiaoman ran to the B&B next door, left a house key there, and asked Lu Xinran to help feed the pigs, chickens and ducks at home.

It's good to have an extra neighbor nearby. When the father and son go out on business, the piglets, chickens and ducks at home can be entrusted temporarily.

After talking with Jiang Youliang and his son, Sun Zheyuan hurried down the mountain. He also had to go back to the town to pack his things. This time, he would stay in the county for two more days and had to report to the leader.

Early the next morning, the father and son went down the mountain, and Jiang Xiaoman entrusted Lang Ying with the courier station. It’s okay not to go to the tea factory site for two or three days. As soon as he was busy, Sun Zheyuan drove to pick them up. .

"Huh? Director Sun, is this a luxury car? A colleague borrowed it?"

Seeing the three-pointed star inside a circle on the front of the car, Jiang Xiaoman was startled, this Mercedes-Benz is not cheap!

Could it be that in order to report to the county, Director Sun even asked someone to borrow a luxury car for appearance?

"Borrow what? My own!" Sun Zheyuan gave him an angry look.

"I've never seen you drive before..."

"The roads in our town, do you think you can drive a Mercedes-Benz? It's not as fast as riding a little donkey."

"That's true." Jiang Xiaoman nodded, and then gossiped, "I didn't expect Director Sun, your family is quite rich, and you can even afford a Mercedes-Benz."

He didn't think that Sun Zheyuan bought this Mercedes with his salary.

With the salary of a civil servant in their town, three years of savings would not be enough to buy these four wheels.

Everyone is so familiar, and Sun Zheyuan doesn't need to hide it from them. Only then did Jiang Xiaoman know that Director Sun's father is an old professor, and his mother is in business. familiar--

Director Sun's grandfather opened the first private winery in the local area. Their company mainly produces low-end liquor. It is not as high-end as Mao Wujian, but it is a must-have liquor for almost every household in Langshan. The price is affordable , the taste is said to be not bad, it is real grain wine.

Hearing that the baijiu he often drank was actually produced in Sun Zheyuan's grandfather's factory, Jiang Youliang suddenly felt that Director Sun looked more cordial than before.

The three walked and chatted all the way, and finally arrived at the county government after ten o'clock in the morning.

The Bureau of Cultural Affairs sounds like a leisurely office, but it is actually quite busy. It not only manages the cultural, sports and entertainment units and corporate stores in the county, but also is responsible for the cultural and leisure life of the people. It is impossible to only focus on such a trivial matter as intangible cultural heritage. .

Therefore, when they arrived at the office of the Cultural Bureau, they were taken to the meeting room. After waiting for more than 20 minutes, Chen Yu, director of the Cultural Bureau's Intangible Cultural Heritage Center, hurried over.

"Sorry, I've been waiting for a long time. We are about to send a message to the towns and streets. Since Director Sun is here, let's take it back. This is Master Jiang, the inheritor of Langshan bamboo carving culture?"

Jiang Youliang was called out, and immediately waved his hands embarrassingly: "Don't dare to call me master, I haven't used a carving knife for many years, I just learned the craft from master for five years, and I just graduated from the master, no one wants this bamboo carving. "

As soon as this remark came out, everyone present couldn't help feeling sad.

Jiang Xiaoman felt sorry for his father.

Chen Yu and Sun Zheyuan felt sorry for this traditional craft that was almost lost.

Unemployed after graduation, it is no wonder that young people in Langshan are unwilling to learn bamboo carving.

It will take several years from getting started to being a teacher. In these few years, I have saved 10,000+ when I entered the factory to drive screws!

Director Chen also came into contact with Jiang Youliang for the first time. This time he invited someone here mainly to verify in person whether the old man Jiang in front of him is the inheritor of Langshan bamboo carving culture, and Jiang Youliang's bamboo carving skills , Does it meet the standards of inheritors?

So, for the next hour or so, Jiang Youliang tried his best to recall the time when he was young and studied art with a teacher, and described his "teacher" situation little by little.

I heard that the master’s apprentices all went to the city to work because they had no livelihood. Because Langshan was very poor at that time, many people didn’t even have a mobile phone installed, let alone a mobile phone, let alone a city dweller. After writing letters like that, there has been no contact for decades. Jiang Youliang's brothers and sisters back then have long since disappeared.

"There is one from my hometown, but he got cancer a few years ago and he's gone." Jiang Youliang sighed.

This was another reason why he would rather leave the piglets at home than go to the county town.

The master has long since passed away, and his fellow apprentices also left and scattered. He didn't know whether his craftsmanship met the standards of any inheritor, and he didn't know that this kind of old craftsmanship that no one wanted could continue to be passed on. What is the meaning, but there is still a little thought in my heart.

What if the county has a way to find him an apprentice?

Hearing that Jiang Youliang said that if someone in the county is willing to learn this craft, he is willing to teach apprentices for free, Director Chen nodded secretly.

Since the establishment of this non-heritage cultural center in the county, he has also used the opportunity of work to meet many local veteran craftsmen.

It has to be said that the older generation has a lot of affection for this traditional craft. The reason why some intangible cultural heritage can still be passed down with difficulty is because some craftsmen have never left this craft even if they don’t make money.

Last year in their county, a paper-cut craftsman was excavated. The old man’s paper-cutting is lifelike. There are paper-cutting booklets piled up in the house. Dislike this thing is not foreign enough...

The old lady just laughed after hearing it. There is a trend of one generation to another. Girls nowadays like trendy notebooks, but this does not prevent the old lady from carefully collecting her paper-cut works. This is also the "book" of their generation.

However, the purpose of setting up an intangible cultural heritage center in the county is to discover local intangible cultural heritage and find ways to continue to pass on these precarious traditional cultures. Of course, it is impossible for the inheritors to put down their livelihoods and generate electricity for love.

After listening to Jiang Youliang's memories and narration, Director Chen couldn't hide the joy on his face.

Unexpectedly, this old man Jiang is not only an orthodox inheritor, but also knows the history of Langshan bamboo carving culture and the life of the old master very well, which is great!

Chen Yu stood up immediately, went back to the office and took a document and a form, and asked Jiang Youliang to fill out the form first, and then explain the content of the document to him.

The county also knows that the inheritance of many intangible cultural heritages has been cut off, mainly because the practitioners cannot make money. Therefore, in order to encourage young people to join this industry, the county has specially established this intangible cultural heritage center, and also paid attention to the unearthed intangible cultural heritage. Cultural heritage projects provide financial and entrepreneurial support.

"After the inheritor's application is successful, the county will have a creation subsidy of 1000 yuan per month for everyone to purchase the materials needed for creation. This subsidy will start from the month of application. When will it be issued? This is temporarily uncertain. It depends on the Will the policy change? If the policy remains unchanged, this subsidy can be received all the time, which can be regarded as a guarantee measure for cultural inheritors by the government.”

"If the created works have no sales channels, they can also be handed over to us for sale. We have special souvenir shops in various scenic spots, tourist service centers, expressway service areas, and road stations, which can be placed there. Consignment, but you have to pay about 10% service fee.”

"By the way, if Master Jiang wants to set up his own bamboo carving studio in the future, the county still has some preferential policies in terms of taxation and store rent."

"Currently the county is preparing to use the idle pavement of the tourist distribution center to build an intangible cultural heritage cultural park. If Master Jiang wants to settle in our cultural park, he can also enjoy three years of rent-free treatment."

"By the way, in order to spread the intangible cultural heritage culture of our county, the county has also issued a policy to encourage inheritors to incubate self-media accounts. I remember that Xiaoman should have tens of millions of fans, right? Master Jiang, why not register an intangible cultural heritage inheritor self-media account?"

"According to the policy, if the number of fans exceeds 10 within one year of the registration of a self-media account, there will be a one-time special contribution award of 1 yuan."

Huh?You can have this!

Jiang Youliang was about to say that he couldn't make videos, but his son stopped him.

"Okay, it's easy to register an account. By the way, do you have to wait for the inheritor to apply for this?" Jiang Xiaoman asked.

"Then there is no such restriction. You can go back and register first, try to operate it, accumulate fans, and wait for the inheritor to apply for it, and then go for a yellow V certification."

Director Chen probably also thinks that the requirement of "increasing [-] fans a year" is too much.

After all, they have [-] fans, and directly bringing goods to live broadcast, isn't it better to bury their heads in traditional culture to make money?

He thought that Jiang Xiaoman mentioned this because he wanted to open an account earlier, and if he had accumulated enough 1 fans, he would be able to get the special contribution award of 2 yuan. People are willing to learn this old craft that is difficult to realize for a subsidy of [-] yuan a year.

Besides, these days, even if young people deliver couriers, they can earn at least [-] to [-] a year, right?

It is estimated that no one of the local youths would be willing to stay in Langshan for the rest of their lives just for the subsidy of [-] to [-] a year. After all, the poorer the family, the more they must consider practical life issues.

A monthly subsidy of 1000 yuan for creation, and the output of pure handmade bamboo carvings is slow. Even if you produce 3-4 works a month, each piece sells for several hundred yuan. Speaking of which, the monthly income is not even as good as the security guards in the city. How can I support my family and send my children to school?

However, if you can manage your self-media account well, it will be different.

As the saying goes, you can catch more fish by casting a wide net, and if you have more fans, maybe there will be one or two second-generation local tyrants who are not short of money and are in a hurry, willing to come and learn about the bamboo carving culture of Langshan?

Not to mention too many, there are only a few in a year, and his father's bamboo carving skills can also achieve continuous output.

However, there is no need to say these things in front of Director Chen.

It hurts my self-esteem.

After all, the county seems to have worked hard to inherit the intangible cultural heritage.He planned to test it on his own father first, and if it worked, he would then privately give Director Chen a suggestion.

You have to spend money to buy the traffic you should buy~

Is there any way to engage in cultural and creative activities without burning money?
