At the barbecue bonfire party in the evening, because Zao Wou-ki showed off his barbecue skills, people from China and America feasted on it. They were almost full before they stopped. Pete rubbed his belly inelegantly and joked,
He decided to hire Zhao Wou-Ki to be the chef at the rice consulate, specializing in Chinese cuisine.
County Magistrate An Fulin asked with great interest: "If Zhao Wuji goes to work as a chef in the rice consulate, how much salary can Consul Peter give him?"
"One thousand meters, that's the most conservative. I think as long as he cooks a meal for the ambassador, he will definitely be recruited by the embassy to come to Kyoto!"
Pete's 1,000 yuan shocked Chinese officials again. The Nigerian media said that was more than 3,000 yuan, and he only got a little over 100 yuan.
Of course, everyone knows that Pete was joking when he asked Zao Wou-ki to be a chef, but the salary offered by Pete may be true. In other words, in the United States, a person like Zao Wou-ki is very likely to be worth this amount.
.
In addition to barbecue, Zao Wou-Ki naturally also performed two songs. A Ussuri Barcarolle brought Peter and others to Northeast China where they had a long time, and a song in memory of his comrades brought Peter and others to northwest China.
Windy desert.
These two singer-level performances completely conquered Consul Pitt and Mrs. Devna and his party. As cultural counselor, Jack Lee even immediately sent an invitation to Zao Wou-Ki, inviting him to the American music industry for exchanges. The expenses were borne by the United States.
Responsible for the consulate in Pingyuan.
When Peter and his delegation came to a successful conclusion, Mo Kai specifically talked about Zao Wou-Ki when he made a special report to the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government. He said that Zao Wou-Ki should be the first to contribute to this inspection activity, and to demonstrate the wisdom, talent and demeanor of the Chinese people.
To the fullest.
When he learned that Pete and others from the Mi Consulate were coming to Fengshan to inspect folk crafts such as wood carving and bamboo weaving and that it was impossible to order products, Zao Wuki used his evening time to go to two cooperatives and not only repeatedly gave face-to-face instructions to the two presidents.
They also provided them with a batch of new processing drawings. Most of these new processing drawings are related to Western or American history. Zhao Wuji believed that as long as the two cooperatives can work overtime to make samples, they will not only improve the art of the two types of handicrafts
The taste will definitely surprise the seasoned rice cookers.
Of course, Zao Wou-Ki couldn't guarantee whether Lao Mi would order or how much he would order.
The Nigerian media, even if you are a Chinese farmer, is not something you can look down upon. The reason why these folk crafts have been buried among the people for a long time and finally lost in the long river of time is because of the environment in which they live. Maybe some people say this
Folk artists still lack, for example, market awareness and promotion awareness. Isn't concept a product of the environment? The so-called singing which song should go to which mountain is not only about following the local customs and adapting to the circumstances. It is also about the constraints of the environment on people.
Zhao Wuji wanted to use his own efforts to bring these good things hidden among the people out of the closed mountains and obtain tangible material benefits for the villagers.
What's more, whether the sales of these three cooperatives are smooth is also related to the tasks of the system.
Therefore, when Peter and others climbed up to Wukesong Village and saw the colorful wood carvings in the yard of Nangong Ping's family, several beauties immediately pounced on them. Among them, Devna grabbed a piece similar to Bai Xue's.
A wood carving of a girl in the image of a princess. The material of this wood carving is a kind of wood between shrubs and trees in the mountains of Wukesong Village. The wood is fine and white in color, and its diameter when finished is only 6-8cm.
And Peter walked directly to a large root sculpture, which was a charging war horse. The warrior on the horse was wearing armor, his legs were tightly clamped on the horse's back, and his hands were holding a long knife pointing straight ahead; and Cultural Counselor Jack Lee
Then he walked towards a set of wooden wine bottles, because yesterday he saw such wine bottles in Zao Wou-ki's painting, and Jack Li naturally knew that these were ancient Chinese drinking utensils...
If wood carving can be carved out of the same material and with skill, then root carving can only use the shape to create momentum and business. And this "shape" is naturally grown by tree roots in nature. Therefore,
Root carving has broken away from craftsmanship and has become a pure work of art. Nangong Ping is obviously a master of root carving. Of course, the "Teng Yun" (dragon), "Xiong Feng" (tiger), and "Sui Sui" (flying eagle) placed in the yard
) and other large-scale works were definitely not produced during this period. There are some small pieces, but they are relatively new.
Next to these wood carving root carvings, there is a small seat label, which indicates the name, volume, quality, material, production time, etc., but it is only in Chinese. But such a simple Chinese language is naturally not difficult for several Americans.
Guests of the consulate.
Root carvings are the root of wood carvings and are used for town hall. Even if these things are sold to Lao Mi, it is impossible to form a bulk transaction. Therefore, after Peter admired the root carvings for a while, he moved to the wood carving area. For example, Devna finally
The Snow White I saw first, although the material is relatively special, there is no problem in producing hundreds of them every year. As for the handicraft ornaments made of other common materials, such as birch, cypress, and peach, they can be traded in large quantities.
In fact, Zao Wou-Ki initially did not expect that he would be favored by the Americans so quickly. The cooperative company he established only delivered the first batch of goods to the "Boutique House" in Huang Dashan, the county town. Although he received thousands of dollars in payment,
But Zao Wou-ki didn't know how well the flocculation was sold. His real idea was to push these things to big cities like the plains, or to open coastal areas.
Of course, the Americans intervened in this matter in advance, and Zhao Wuji could sell it at a higher price through operation. But after all, it seemed a bit rushed, and the woodcarving cooperative had no preparations. For example, it did not have time to prepare the necessary booths for people to visit. Nangong
These wood carving products from Ping Nong are placed randomly on the yard floor. Fortunately, the ground of Nangong Ping's yard is quite flat, and it seems that it has been taken care of simply.
After staying at Nangong Ping's house for half an hour, Peter and his party proposed to visit other families. China had no objection to this, because they had prepared several key points in advance, and there were a total of 77 households in the Fengshan Wood Carving and Root Carving Cooperative.
In addition, Zhao Wuji had already introduced these situations to Peter and his party after seeking the opinions of Director Mo Kai of the Provincial Foreign Affairs Office. Except for a few key families, it was perfectly fine for Peter to go to other families.
However, Peter and others proposed that their people be divided into six groups, and each group could be accompanied by a Chinese person to visit. After emergency consultations, the three Chinese bosses had no choice but to agree.
If you work in groups and the gongs and drums are not in sync, it will take too much time.
Therefore, it was not until 2 o'clock in the afternoon that everyone gathered together to eat.
According to the plan, Peter and his party were supposed to visit Wukesong and Dabeishi Village for a day. However, after lunch, Peter and his party did not even go to the virgin forest in the back mountain. They proposed to visit the bamboo weaving craft immediately. And in Shanghe Village
I only watched the bamboo weaving craftsmanship for about half an hour before I proposed to go back to Fengshan.
"Ni media, there won't be any problems." Zhao Wuji thought to himself, these old guys had so much fun with you last night, wouldn't it be a good idea to give you some face?
However, whether this matter succeeds or not, it will not have a big impact on Zao Wou-ki, because for the root carvings or bamboo weaving pictures that Zao Wou-Ki published in "Xichuan Daily", Peter and others found the actual objects at the scene. As for Peter and others
He came excitedly and then left dejectedly. Whoever can bear the responsibility is fine, but it is definitely not Zhao Wuki, because the relationship between Peter and others and Zhao Wuki has always been talking and laughing, and their attitude towards other officials is also very good. Obviously
, this is not a Chinese factor, or it is because Peter and others look down on these handicrafts.
Although on the surface Zhao Wuji was talking and laughing with the Americans, he was still very disappointed in his heart. Ni media. In this case, wouldn’t it be possible for the three cooperatives of labor and capital to die prematurely? No, we must not let them die prematurely. If it is really
If that didn't work, Zao Wou-Ki planned to use the funds from "Lujiang Delicious BBQ" to purchase all the products of these two cooperatives, and then handle the sales himself.
There must be a market for this kind of handicrafts. Zhao Wuji firmly believed in this.
Unexpectedly, after returning to Fengshan, a few old ricers went even further and directly told the Chinese side that they Americans wanted to borrow the conference room in Fengshan Township, and they could pay the rent in rice gold.
Nigerian media, rent it, American devils, use it. Hu Yongsheng immediately asked Fei Renqiang to introduce several Americans into the party committee conference room in Fengshan Township.
And Mo Kai was also sitting on a chair in the township hall, constantly beating his legs with his fists. Obviously, it was really difficult for Mo Kai, who was nearly 60 years old, to climb such a long mountain road. When Zhao Wuji saw this, he thought he knew Hua Hua.
In the name of medical massage, Mo Kai eliminated muscle strain in more than ten minutes.
When Peter and his party returned to Fengshan, it was almost dark, and the meeting of these seven guys lasted for two hours. At this time, it was time to have dinner, but who would have thought that Sonny would
Zhao Wuji was called to the conference room, which surprised the leaders at the provincial, city and county levels. Ni media, we haven’t had dinner yet. If you have something to say, can’t you talk about it after dinner? Besides, do you have anything shameful to say to Zhao Wuji?
What about alone?
"Mr. Zao Wou-Ki, on behalf of the U.S. Consulate in Pingyuan, I would like to express my special gratitude for your efforts for us during the two days!" As soon as Zhao Wou-Ki walked into the party conference room, the American Pete actually bowed to Zhao Wou-Ki.
Bow, Zhao Wuji was so frightened that he turned aside and took off his clothes: When did these people from the United States become like people from the Japanese country?
It was not until after listening to Peter's words that Zhao Wuji calmed down. However, Zhao Wuji immediately felt a little disappointed: Ni media, these words mean a bit of farewell. Could it be that they are leaving now?
Did you buy the handicrafts I worked so hard on?
But Zhao Wuji must not show that the debt with the American devils will be settled later. Therefore, he immediately said: "Dear Mr. Pitt and everyone, I also thank you very much. In the past two days, I have learned from you.
I experienced the kindness, enthusiasm, and frankness of the American people, as well as the unique optimism of the American people.”
"Mr. Zhao Wuji, after a day's inspection, we found that Fengshan's folk crafts indeed have certain artistic value and collection value. Therefore, we decided to report to the country and help you build a Fengshan Folk Crafts Museum in Fengshan.
In this way, we can preserve and promote these precious cultural heritages of mankind.”
"What, build a Fengshan Folk Crafts Museum? Mr. Peter, please be more detailed, you almost confused me." For the first time in front of Lao Mi, Zhao Wuji felt that his brain was not enough. (To be continued.,
