It was already October when tea tables from the "Ya Yi" root carving workshop began to become popular in Qingchuan City.
The weather is getting colder. Occasionally, there will be one or two winds. The wind gradually picks up, and the chill becomes even more refreshing.
Qiao Mingjin asked Yun Jin to go to the city early and buy half a house of charcoal. Yinshuang charcoal couldn't afford it, but her child was still young, and she didn't want to buy charcoal that could burn to make smoke.
The charcoal in the workshop is the same as that at home. Half of the utility room has been piled up long ago. It is packed in sacks and stacked side by side in the utility room.
Although it's not the day to make charcoal yet, Qiao Mingjin has prepared it early. The colder the weather, the more expensive the charcoal is. Third-grade charcoal can be sold for first-grade prices. She is very good at such things.
Forget it.
Later, Zhou Yanqing came to visit and was very amused by Qiao Mingjin's plan for the rainy season. He told Qiao Mingjin that after winter, he would send several carts of good charcoal over. How could she not be short of money for her?
Qiao Mingjin was neither coquettish nor polite to him, so she agreed without any excuse.
As for Yun Jin's son Xiao Yunluan, ever since He asked someone to bring him a letter back, the Yun family's uncle personally brought him here. He has been living in Qiao Mingjin's house since he arrived.
I was very happy playing with Xiao Wan'er all day long.
The two of them, together with Sister Xiu's two children and some half-year-old children in the village, used bamboo poles as horses in the village, and "drove" wildly through the village every day, raising bursts of flying smoke.
.
Qiao Mingjin also became busy after the tea sets and tea tables produced by her workshop were sold well in the city. The task of taking care of the two children was entirely handed over to Mingqi. She sometimes even had lunch at the workshop.
of.
As a result, Mingqi followed the two children every day, panting and chasing each other. Every day, she angrily ran to Qiao Mingjin and complained that she was as tired as a dog chasing the two children all day long.
He and Yun Jin have been very happy since their son came here. He is right beside them and can see them every day. They work even more attentively.
And after having Yunluan by her side, Wan'er no longer asked Qiao Mingjin when her father would come back. Every day when she got up, she would take Yunluan to water her vegetable patch and catch insects, and then bring the food in the bamboo tube.
The bugs go to the chicken pen to feed the egg-laying hens.
After feeding, I took my little brother and squatted next to the chicken coop, staring at the chicken's butt to see when the chicken would drop an egg.
I run to the chicken coop twice every morning and evening.
If the chicken stops laying eggs one day, it will shake its head and mutter, is it because it eats less insects? Or does it drink less water? Or is it suffocated by shutting it up?
She took Xiao Yunluan to the forest to look for bugs in the rotten leaves, and when she came back, she fed her chickens...
The name of the "Ya Yi" root carving workshop was chosen by Qiao Mingjin and Zhou Yanqing together.
Since the shampoo chair was renamed "Ya Couch", Qiao Mingjin likes the word "Ya" very much.
Originally, from the preparation to the opening of this workshop, the two of them thought of countless names, but there was no one they liked.
Fortunately, after running the workshop for two months, we finally came up with a name that everyone unanimously approved.
Zhou Yanqing still visits Xiahe Village every now and then. Every time he comes, he always brings his own food.
Xiao Wan'er was much more indifferent to his visit and no longer looked forward to it as much as Chuchu. Xiao Yunluan, on the other hand, became much more lively and cheerful after coming to Xiahe Village, and he and Zhou Yanqing did not recognize each other.
Hearing the sound of the carriage's wheels, he took Xiao Wan'er outside and stretched his neck in anticipation.
After people in the city learned that the Zhou family's carpentry shop often produced novel items, many people came to visit it every day. The business of the Zhou family's carpentry shop also improved by several percent.
In addition to sample tea tables and tea tables, the shop also recently put up root carvings.
A root carving sample with a peacock in full bloom was placed upright in the middle of the shop, attracting countless viewers. Every day, the carpenter's shop was packed with people.
The entire work is made from the roots of a century-old tea tree. The "three carvings and seven grinding" techniques are used in the carving, and all the masters in the workshop spent a month to carefully create it.
The entire work is about seven feet high and wide, retaining the natural color of the wooden piles. It was not colored, but was painted with a layer of varnish.
After undergoing anti-corrosion, anti-moth, anti-cracking and other processes, it was carefully carved by masters according to the original shape of the wooden pile and the original shape of the root system.
The shape of the entire root carving is like a peacock with its wings spread. The peacock is carved lifelike and the lines are extremely smooth. It is as if it grew out of nature.
This work cleverly makes use of the original lines and contours of the tree roots. The peacock's feathers are expressed naturally without any modification. The peacock's head is made from a section of the tree stump left on the ground.
It is carved.
This peacock root-carved ornament became a sensation as soon as it was placed in the Zhou family's carpenter shop.
There is an endless stream of people coming to visit, whether they are elegant people or lay people.
Several wealthy families in Qingchuan City decided on the spot that they wanted to buy it back. They all rushed to buy it.
But the sixth master of the Zhou family didn't say anything.
They say this is the treasure of their shop. It will not be sold for the time being. If you are interested in this type of root carving work, please look forward to the next work.
When Master Zhou said something, it naturally lifted everyone's hearts.
The masters of the family send their servants to the carpenter's shop every day to see if there are any such good works. They try to take them home as soon as they enter the shop. (To be continued. If you
