Not long after, the group returned to the county compound again, but this time they did not go to the small building, but to a large conference room among the bungalows on the left side of the compound.
The conference room covers an area of ​​200 to 300 square meters. At this time, the tables, chairs and benches inside have been basically cleared, and the floor is filled with various things. Secretary Li asked the towns below to step up the collection of things that he thought could be classified as handicrafts.
"Manager Chu, because time is too tight and we have not made such preparations before, these are the only handicrafts we can find at the moment, and we don't know if the talisman meets your requirements."
Chu Heng stood at the door and looked at the things on the floor. Among them were wood carvings, woodblock prints, cloth paintings, straw sandals, straw grasshoppers, etc. Most of them were old and had serious signs of use or time.
, some are very beautiful, and some are invisible.
The reason why this happened was that Kong Jun wanted it too urgently. In addition, they couldn't figure out what could be regarded as a handicraft, so they had the idea of ​​​​taking three poles if they had dates or not. Regardless of whether they were useful or not, they just got them first.
Besides, it leads to a mixed situation of good and bad.
Chu Heng took a few steps forward and looked down at a pair of rotten straw sandals that exuded a sour smell. His eyes almost rolled to the top of his head. He shook his head speechlessly and said, "Let me take a look at the information you collected first."
.”
"Oh, good."
Secretary Li quickly took out a thin piece of information from her bag and handed it to him.
A county leader nearby was very discerning and immediately pulled over a wicker pouf and placed it behind him: "Sit down and watch, Manager Chu."
"Thank you." Chu Heng was not polite, took the information, sat down, crossed his legs and flipped through the information in his hand.
Because he was in a hurry, there wasn't much content on it, and a lot of relevant information was missing, so he didn't read it for long. After a rough understanding, he handed the information back.
"Here you go." Chu Heng handed the information back to Secretary Li, raised his buttocks and stood up, looking down at the wicker pouf he had just sat on. This pouf looked very old, and many places were patinated, but it was
It is still very strong, and there are floral decorations with northern Shaanxi characteristics woven on it, which is very beautiful.
After looking at it carefully, he raised his head and touched around again, and soon discovered other wicker products, including the Eight Immortals table that was a set of poufs, as well as baskets, baskets, baskets, boxes and other items.
Chu Heng immediately stepped forward and took a look, without saying anything. He took out a small notebook and pen from his pocket and wrote something, then turned to other items, squatting down from time to time to pick up something to take a look, and then wrote something in the notebook.
I wrote a few words and occasionally asked Secretary Li a few questions.
Kong Jun led all the leaders to follow step by step, full of nervousness and expectation.
More than an hour passed like this, Chu Heng finally finished reading everything, and then the group of people moved to the conference room in the small building.
After everyone was seated, Chu Heng put the notebook on the table and spread it out, with a serious look on his face, and said: "I won't say anything irrelevant. Let's get straight to the point. What I'm going to say next is very important, so please take notes.
"
"Wait a moment, wait a moment."
Although a note-taker had been specially arranged, Kong Jun and other leaders each found paper and pen to prepare notes in case any important information was missed.
Upon seeing this, Chu Heng waited for a short while. After they were ready, he said: "Now let me talk about the items of artistic value and economic value among the things you collected."
"First of all, there are wicker items. It has a long history in Yanchuan, and it has already developed a craft with strong local folk customs. This will be a big selling point, such as those wicker seats and tables.
It’s very good. Not only is it sturdy and durable, the floral decoration is also very beautiful and quite ornamental. Not to mention the foreign devils, I was moved by the sight of it. If it weren’t for the inconvenience, I would have moved a set back.”
"Ha ha."
After everyone heard this, Kong Jun continued: "What's this? If you like it, my local government will find someone from the transportation company and ask them to bring one for you."
"Thank you, Senior Official Kong, for your kindness, but let's forget it, it's too numb." Chu Heng smiled and waved his hand to decline, and then continued: "Okay, let's move on, this willow braiding is good, but it is a bit more practical. I suggest
You can organize some ingenious comrades to make some ornamental wicker items, such as vases, animals, etc. Of course, you can’t let go of the practical ones. You must bloom at both ends and create more innovations.”
Kong Jun and others quickly picked up their pens and wrote them down word for word.
Chu Heng paused, and after they finished recording, he continued: "In addition to willow weaving, Yanchuan's cloth paintings are also very good. They are very unique in craftsmanship, vivid in imagery, and unique in imagination. I think they will be very popular."
Foreign devils love you, so you can put more effort into this area."
…
He kept talking for more than an hour, and finally listed six kinds of handicrafts suitable for export, including willow weaving, cloth painting, wool and linen embroidery, paper cutting, wood carving, and woodblock printing, and conducted research on each of them.
After some discussion, we roughly guided the creative direction.
"Okay, that's all for now."
After finishing speaking, Chu Heng, who felt his mouth was dry and his tongue was dry, closed the book, picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a big sip.
"Only six items." Kong Jun was still a little dissatisfied with this, so he suggested: "Manager Chu, I heard from Secretary Li that we still have some things that we haven't delivered yet because they are hard to find. How about I send them back tomorrow?"
Organize it once?”
"That's not necessary." Chu Heng waved his hand and said, "You can't bite off more than you can chew. These six items are enough to keep you busy."
"Okay then." Kong Jun could only give up.
Then Chu Heng said again: "In addition, I plan to send your things to next year's Spring Canton Fair, so you have to hurry up and prepare more samples before this year, and then send the things after the year."
Come, I will help you jump in line to participate in the exhibition."
"Excuse me, Manager Chu." Kong Jun hurriedly stood up and shook hands.
"Hey, no matter what the trouble, it's all for the sake of building the motherland."
Chu Heng let go of his hand and stood up, stretched his aching waist, and then suggested going out for a walk to get some fresh air. Then he came out of the county compound accompanied by Kong Jun and other county leaders, and walked into the county town.
I visited a few relatively famous places.
When it got dark, they returned to the guest house.
By coincidence, Chu Qi and the others came back at the same time, and they bumped into each other.
"Come on, come on, let me introduce you." Chu Heng pulled the little brother over who was holding a few books in his arms and was covered with dust: "This is my brother, Chu Qi, a bastard."
"Hello, Comrade Chu Qi." Kong Jun smiled and shook hands with him.
"Hello... hello, comrade, senior officials."
Chu Qi shook his hand blankly, and then other county leaders came forward one by one and praised him for a while.
Chapter completed!
