The place where the two of them stood is the straw weaving art exhibition area. The straw weaving technology has a long history, and with the development of history, the technology is getting better and better. With the improvement of the production level, the straw weaving craft has developed from the practicality at the beginning to the value of artistic appreciation.

In recent years, the online sales channel of straw-woven products seems to be gradually rejuvenating. Although it is not popular enough, at least people see hope.

"This villain is doing pretty well, but it's actually made of straw?" Chen Jiang carefully looked at the straw villains made in the exhibition cabinet. There were almost no traces of straw weaving on the villain's face. The villain's skirt and face are woven with very fine grass silk, so that the villain's face is lifelike and the skirt is elegant and vivid.

"It seems... a little interesting." Chen Jiang commented dryly, "It's pretty."

"In ancient times, a craftsman used gold wire to weave incense balls, and people couldn't see the slightest flaw. What is this technique now." A woman wearing glasses, about forty or fifty years old, came over, she Wearing a navy blue cotton skirt, she is elegant and friendly.

Seeing that the photo of this person is very similar to that of the exhibitor, Hua Jin asked uncertainly, "Are you... Mr. Sun?"

"Mr. Sun, I'm a handicraft worker, just call me Auntie Sun." Seeing that Hua Jin and Chen Jiang are both young people, Mr. Sun smiled, "It's rare that young people are interested in these old crafts." The exhibition is not open to the public, and those who can get tickets are not ordinary people. But those who have tickets are not necessarily interested in this kind of activity. Some people are for tasks, some people are to broaden their contacts, they really like traditional handicrafts, and they want to study them. I am afraid there are only a few old experts who are already old.

Just as Hua Jin was about to speak, she heard the guide bring more than a dozen middle-aged men and women dressed in strict clothes. Not really interested in these exhibits, maybe only they know. Hua Jin's eyes swept through the group of visitors, and found that among these people, there was an acquaintance, Pei Yan.

Compared with other people who nodded frequently, Pei Yan was regarded as expressionless, and he didn't even look at the guide, but he looked at each exhibit with the most serious eyes. with the most basic respect.

"This is the embroidery exhibition area. Leaders, please go this way and be careful with your feet." The guide took the delegates to the embroidery area. "As we all know, embroidery is one of the famous traditional handicrafts in my country. With a history of three thousand years, the most famous types of embroidery are Suzhou embroidery, Hunan embroidery, Guangdong embroidery, Shu embroidery, etc. The embroidery items in our exhibition area are mainly Suzhou embroidery and Hunan embroidery…”

Looking at the embroidery in the exhibition area, Pei Yan suddenly thought of Hua Jin, wondering if she came over today?

"Embroidery is a very difficult process. It takes a lot of time and energy to make a finished product. With the increase in people's living needs, machine embroidery has replaced the position of manual embroidery. Machine embroidery can never be replaced for agility and soul. Please take a look at this screen, which uses double-sided embroidery technology, and its sophistication cannot be done by machine alone.”

There are many exhibits in the embroidery exhibition area, ranging from large screen ornaments to small velvet handkerchiefs, all with embroidery craftsmanship. Pei Yan carefully looked at the works of these contemporary masters, and faintly felt that the flowers and splendid things seemed to be no worse than them.

He tilted his head slightly and saw Hua Jin in the far corner. What surprised him most was that Chen Jiang was still standing beside Hua Jin.

How did Chen Jiang get close to her?

Thinking of Chen Jiang's stinky habit of courting beauties, Pei Yan frowned, turned and walked out of the crowd, and walked towards Hua Jin.

Seeing Pei Yan coming here, Hua Jin raised her hand and shook him slightly: "Didn't you tell me?" As a result, people not only came, but also enjoyed VIP-level treatment.

"This building is mine. I provided the place for free. The organizer insisted on inviting me to come, so I can only give them face." Pei Yan yawned, and hung the sign on Hua Jin's neck, "Here you go. , here, you listen."

Hua Jin picked up the sign and glanced at it. The word Pei Yan was written on it. She couldn't help rolling her eyes. She took off the sign and threw it back to Pei Yan: "I'm not called Pei Yan."

When Pei Yan walked this way, Chen Jiang quickly left Hua Jin three or four steps away, lest Pei Yan think that he had something wrong with his girlfriend.

Pei Yan smiled at Teacher Sun, turned his head and looked at Chen Jiang expressionlessly. Chen Jiang laughed twice: "I'm sorry, I forgot that my cousin is still waiting for me, goodbye."

Meng Tao, who had been forgotten for a long time, looked at Chen Jiang running towards him, and his mood was very complicated. At this time, he thought of his cousin?

"Mr. Sun, I'm going around with my friends, you're busy." Hua Jin saw Teacher Sun looking at her and Pei Yan with a half-smile, thinking that she might have misunderstood the relationship between the two, so she smiled helplessly. There are more and more single men and women who are not married now, but others seem to like to put people together. As long as young men and women stand together, many people will subconsciously think that they are lovers.

She glanced at Pei Yan, who was still looking at the straw-woven artwork, and had no choice but to drag him away, so she continued to smile at Teacher Sun.

Teacher Sun smiled gently: "I noticed you after you entered the door just now. Are you interested in traditional handicrafts?"

"You're laughing, I myself do Shu embroidery, and it's rare to have such an opportunity, so I came to see it." After speaking, she looked at the exhibition hall where there were not many people, "It gave me a lot of knowledge."

"Shu Embroidery?" Teacher Sun glanced at Hua Jin in surprise. How could such a young girl be willing to engage in this industry?

"I have an old friend who does Su embroidery at home, opened a studio, and raised more than ten embroiderers. It can only be regarded as barely able to survive." Teacher Sun sighed, "She herself is here, if If you have the opportunity, you can discuss and discuss together." Although the embroidery types and styles are different, they have some commonalities. It is rare for young people to be interested in this industry, and their seniors can help if they can.

"Thank you, Mr. Sun." Hua Jin handed her business card to Mr. Sun with both hands. "This is my contact information. You are welcome to contact me at any time."

"Fanhua Studio?" Teacher Sun looked at the studio name and address on the business card, "You also open a studio?"

Hua Jin smiled embarrassedly: "In fact, there are only four people in the studio. The two teachers are old. Basically, I do it with another friend."

"Embroidery is time-consuming and labor-intensive. How can it be sustained by just two people?" Thinking of the current situation of the traditional handicraft industry, Mr. Sun didn't say much. Continuing to ask would only add to his troubles. Thinking of this, she smiled and encouraged, "I wish your studio will be better and better. With your young people here, our traditional handicrafts will have more hope."

"Thank you." Hua Jin sincerely thanked the traditional handicraft industry, if you want to continue to spread it, you must innovate and stand firm in the fast-developing society. Fortunately, many people in this industry are aware of this problem and are looking for changes.

After saying goodbye to Teacher Sun, Hua Jin and Pei Yan walked to the embroidery exhibition area again. Pei Yan said, "I think these embroidery are similar to yours."

"My stitching technique is far from this master." Hua Jin shook his head honestly, "His embroidery has dense stitches, no flaws can be seen, and the colors used are smart and beautiful. With my current embroidery skills , less than half."

"It's a bit self-aware." A fair-skinned, thin-lipped man in a shirt stood behind them expressionlessly, "The embroidery pattern on this fan is made by a famous embroidery master, Mr. Xu Yan. He is proficient in various Embroidery, a piece of embroidery can sell for more than one million. The phoenix robe in the historical movie last year that aroused countless amazement was embroidered by the old man himself."

"No wonder it's so beautiful. It turned out to be Mr. Xu Yan's masterpiece." Through the transparent glass cabinet, the surprise in Hua Jin's eyes almost condensed into reality, "Just why is there no Mr. Xu's famous brand here?"

With pride in the man's eyes: "The teacher said that although embroidery is personal, the beauty brought by embroidery should belong to everyone. It is enough that embroidery can bring joy to others, and there is no need to emphasize it. name."

Hua Jin said with emotion: "Mr. Xu, you are really righteous. I didn't expect you to be Mr. Xu's apprentice, which made you laugh."

The man smiled reluctantly: "In fact, what's the use of posting your name, except for those in the industry or those who are genuinely interested in embroidery, who would care who the owner of the embroidery is."

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Hua Jin's face was slightly stunned. Yes, in this industry, you can't be too famous and fortune, or you won't be able to support it sooner or later.

"Didn't you just say that you want to go to the woodcarving exhibition area?" Pei Yan put his hand on Hua Jin's shoulder, "Let's go."

Brocade:  …

Being forcibly dragged away by Pei Yan, she wanted to turn her head to look behind her, but Pei Yan put her hand on top of her head, "What are you looking at, do you want to go back and listen to others show off?"

"That's Master Xu's disciple. Even if you listen to him show off, you're talking to the thigh pendant." Hua Jin covered her face, "I'll post it on the Moments when I go back." If it wasn't for taking pictures here, she would have taken out her phone Nine shots in a row.

"You know golden thighs like me, and I haven't seen you show off on your Moments." Pei Yan snorted coldly, "What is there to show off as a master's disciple?"

"You don't understand this. If I show off my acquaintance with you in the circle of friends, after others are envious and jealous, they will say that I have a copper stench all over my body, and it is unclear whether I am a rich man. If I show off Master Xu's disciple, it will be different. Others will only think that I am full of passion for embroidery and have a sincere heart to pursue traditional art." Hua Jin patted Pei Yan's hand on her shoulder, "I am young and innocent, how can I It makes people mistakenly think that I am not clear with rich men."

"You have a very clear analysis." Pei Yan gritted his teeth and said, "Aren't you afraid of showing off Xu Yan's disciples and being laughed at and hugging your thighs?"

"Holding the thigh of a famous embroiderer, can that be called holding a thigh? That's called pursuit." Hua Jin shook his head, "You don't understand the world of art."

"Next month, there will be an exhibition of cultural relics that will not be open to the public. There are many imperial concubines and nobles' clothing on display. I originally planned to help you get two tickets, but what you just said reminded me that I don't like this. People who understand art, don't add trouble." Pei Yan was half a head taller than Hua Jin, and when he stared blankly at Hua Jin, he seemed to be contempt for a mortal.

"Although you don't know much about art, your pursuit of art is beautiful." Hua Jin smiled and looked at Pei Yan, "When next month, if you are bored, you can ask me to accompany you. , Men and women are matched, and it is not tiring to do anything."

Tired of doing anything?

Pei Yan raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "Come here."

Hua Jin covered her chest and whispered: "Let's talk about it first, I'm innocent, I work hard and don't sell my body."

"Selling yourself?" Pei Yan raised her eyebrows higher, "Am I going to pay for it? We are two together, and we still don't know who is cheaper."

Brocade:  …

Forget it, for the sake of his handsome looks, don't care about him in general.

Pei Yan brought Hua Jin to the VIP lounge: "You can take pictures here."

"Huh?" Hua Jin looked at him puzzled.

"I'll give you a chance to show off your golden thighs. There are not many rich people like me who are good-looking and pursue art." Pei Yan sat on the sofa, leaning lazily, " Remember to select the circle of friends to be visible to all."

"Do you really want to shoot?" Hua Jin took out her phone and approached Pei Yan, "This is what you asked for."

Pei Yan squinted at Hua Jin, what did she want to do?

Hua Jin put her head next to Pei Yan, took out her mobile phone to open her beauty, adjusted a few angles, and made sure that she was beautiful and temperamental, before putting the picture in the circle of friends.

Fanhua: I met a rich and handsome beauty and asked how to become a pendant on the beauty's thigh. I'm waiting online. It's very urgent. 【picture】

Without hesitation, she clicked send, and Hua Jin turned to look at Pei Yan: "Don't forget to call me at the exhibition next month."

Looking at Hua Jin's shining eyes, Pei Yan felt a little aggrieved, but he still didn't know where this feeling of aggrieved came from.

He took out his mobile phone, opened his Moments, and his face turned dark: "I'm the beauty you just met?"

"Ah? No." Hua Jin's face was full of innocence, "Isn't it the first time we met today, is there any ambiguity in this sentence? Mr. Pei, don't have the same knowledge as me, as you know, I haven't even gone to university. …”

"Your high school ranked first in the whole school."

"That's all seven or eight years ago. I have given back everything I learned to the teacher." Hua Jin smiled even more innocently, shaking her phone and said, "My friends are praising you for being handsome."

Pei Yan glanced at Hua Jin's mobile phone, and vaguely saw the sentence "The best in the world, Sister Hua, try to knock him down! Pick him up! Eat him!"

He pushed Hua Jin aside from behind him: "Stay away from me."

What kind of people are Hua Jin's friends?

He is innocent and a big gentleman. He has a little sympathy to help a few small favors, and he has to worry about his own innocence?

Thinking of the intimacy between Hua Jin and her friends, Pei Yan felt as if she had knocked over the condiment box, irritable and irritable.

This woman is also engaged in the traditional handicraft industry, can you be more serious?

And what was wrong with his brain just now, and he had to ask her to take a picture of herself and send it to the circle of friends?

Could it be because... the lack of ventilation in the exhibition hall affected his IQ?
