Chapter 360 Folk Artists
Chapter 360 Folk Artist
The fat man was about to get married, and the next day it spread throughout Koshantun. Even the snot baby was slapped and asked for wedding candies at the fat man. The fat man was very particular and took out a candy ball and put it on the palm of his hand.
"Uncle Fatty, I'm also using candy balls to fool us. I want to bring milk candy with candy paper." The snot baby first stuffed the candy ball into his mouth, and then protested to the fat boy.
"Okay, sell more wedding candies at that time and fill your bags with both of you." The fat man smiled and jumped on the little guy's forehead.
One after another, every time the car boss went to the market, he helped the fat man bring back some things; he had everything he had to eat, drink, and use.
The big-foot sister-in-law and the female generals were also busy organizing, with the aunts and ladies helping to squish quilts and sew pillows, while the big-footed daughter-in-law helped to tidy up their big braids, and helped to advise on the flowers on their heads to shoes on their feet.
Anyone who kills pigs will hang some lanterns for the fat man (the heart, liver, lungs, intestines and belly are added together and called a lantern hanger), and will be used when preparing for a banquet; the car owner also specially asked the old son to drive four wheels for him for two days, and then led a group of young guys to catch the winter. At the banquet, big fish are indispensable.
Even after Lao Wu came back from the radar station, he heard that the fat man was going to get married, and immediately returned to the city. When he left, he patted his chest: "You don't have to worry about the white wine!"
Speaking of which, Lao Wu was in the mountain for several months, he really made up a lot of honey, more than 200 kilograms. Anyway, the villagers in Kuoshantun allocated more than half a kilogram, and they were all top-notch locust tree honey. Lao Wu's behavior was highly praised by the fat man, saying that it was quite his style back then.
Old Wu seems to be really for the sake of entertainment. The honey he harvested is basically gone: each of the soldiers at the radar station is one pound, and many of them put it in jars and then sent it home. Nowadays, it is not easy to buy honey.
This also led to a large string hanging on Xiaobai's paws every time he came back from the radar station. Fortunately, Xiaobai knew to be careful, so he didn't hit the glass bottle.
Old Wu stored the remaining honey and took only ten kilograms away, saying that he would go home to give the relatives and friends a portion. If he used it for his own household, two or three kilograms would be enough.
The fat man was very inspired and felt that raising wild bees is also a way to make a fortune. As long as it is large enough, the benefits will definitely be considerable. In the future, it can also be further processed. In the era when the fat man was originally living, the bee series of health products were the most popular.
After studying with Lao Wu, Lao Wu was a little regretful: "Winter is the most difficult time for bees. The number of bees in the entire swarm will drop by more than half. It will only be able to recover slowly in the spring of the next year. This cycle will be repeated, and it is really difficult to grow rapidly.
The speaker is unintentional, and the listener is intentional. When Lao Wu leaves, the fat man will put away the beehive directly. There are flowers and grass in the wooden box, so just keep it in it first. Don’t expect to produce much honey, and the total number of bee colonies will not decrease.
The days passed day by day, and it was the end of December in the blink of an eye. The entire Kuoshantun was basically in action, just for the fat man's marriage.
The boss of the car completely transferred the driver's position to the old boy and personally took charge of the command. He ordered a group of young and old boys to make a move, borrowing bowls, basins, chopsticks, tables and stools, one by one, like a lantern.
The fat man couldn't help but sigh: "Who is going to get married?"
The big braid had already finished the exam for the students. After cleaning up the house, tidying up the walls and sheds, inside and out, he returned to the county. Because when picking up the bride, he had to bring the bride from his parents' home.
The fat man's home is now completely new, cleaner than during the Chinese New Year. He has a new kang mat on the kang. The end of the kang is made of two pillars, and pillows and bedding can be installed inside, which replaces the traditional bedding.
Erzhuzi has average skills, but the wood used is excellent. Back then, the wood was tight, and every household in the city was busy making furniture. That is, Kuanshantun, guarding the mountains, every household stored a lot of good wood.
Moreover, a young man who specializes in painting on glass was specially invited to paint on the glass of the kangqin. This is also a basic lost technique. All kinds of pigments are squeezed into the plate and then painting on one side of the glass.
Basically, I first dip my fingers with paint and apply the background color to the glass. After drying a little, I started to draw the landscape of characters, such as the four gentlemen of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, green pine, green cypress, cranes and pandas, etc., all of which are lifelike.
The most difficult thing is that every scene must be painted oppositely, and then it looks right from the other side. Although the young man is quite young, his skills are quite pure. Four pieces of glass are painted with joy (magpies and plum blossoms), pine trees and cranes, green bamboo pandas, birds singing and orchids, each one is vivid.
Everyone gathered around to watch the fun as if they were magic. Qiqi pointed to the pair of green bamboo pandas and said, "This panda looks a bit like a stupid uncle, can you draw another big tiger?" It turns out that the little girl was still thinking about Weiwei.
The painter nodded: "Okay, I'll draw you another pair of tiger roaring pine forests." After saying that, he looked at the kangqin. There was a horizontal one under the door, but no place for glass was left.
This was not a problem for folk artists. He took out a pencil from his pocket and outlined a draft on it. Then he pulled out several soldering irons of varying sizes.
"Hide away, I guess I will punish the kangqin." The fat man shouted, and everyone who watched the fun opened a venue to avoid getting scalded.
After the soldering iron became hot, the painter picked up one of them and poked the draft he had just drawn. After a ray of blue smoke, the fragrance of the red pine dissipated, and a dark brown scalding appeared on the wood.
Then, the soldering iron in the painter's hand flew up and down, and the sound of sizzling sounds continued. In less than half an hour, a tiger roared and the forest was burned. A tiger stood on the rock, opening its mouth and roaring. There were several pine trees in the background, and the slender pine needles on it were clearly visible.
"As as majestic as Weiwei!" Qiqi slapped her little slap. If she hadn't been able to lead Weiwei into the village, she would have to take it to see it with her own eyes.
"This tiger is good. I don't know if it's a male or a female. Fatty brother, this would be broken if it's a female tiger!" Li Suozi began to talk softly again.
Of course, the fat man is not a good-looking lamp: "Lock, your furniture is also ready. I will invite the master to come and draw a tiger cub."
Everyone laughed: "That's designated to be a tigress."
The painter also painted the glass of the large cabinet on the ground. Nowadays, cabinets have just become popular and Erlangzi can't do it yet. After he came out to learn the art, he made another cabinet and a dressing table.
The fat man’s house is not generous, so these kinds of furniture are enough, so there is no need to pay attention to how many legs. In the 1980s, based on the "three turns and one sound", he began to pay attention to counting "legs". This leg is furniture legs. The more legs, the more complete the furniture, the more it is, the more popular the furniture.
The fat man doesn't care about these things. Anyway, in his family, those with long legs must have more than 72: "Benben and Dudu are eight, three and twelve of Maomao brothers, eight of Chou and Blossom faces, eight of four birds, and black eyebrows - hehe, it seems that it doesn't have them.
The new pieces of furniture have improved the level of Fatty's house at once, so the original small cabinet had to be moved into the warehouse to decorate some rice and flour, which is quite suitable for use.
Now that I entered the fat man's house, the house emitted a faint fragrance of pine resin, and red brick curtains were laid on the ground and replaced with new ones. It was embroidered by the Fat Ya, the most skillful person in the village. Two mandarin ducks play in the water, as well as green lotus leaves and pink lotus flowers, and four words were embroidered next to it: A happy marriage for a hundred years.
Fatty like this the most: Look at this theme and creativity, it is most suitable for hang up when you get married. Who says there is no art in folk?
Because of this, the pillowcase also bothered Pinya to complete. Although Pinya's name is Pinya, she is very slim. The name Pinya was still chosen when she was born. The young men privately commented that she is the most beautiful girl in Kushantun.
When embroidery, you have to draw patterns. Ordinary girls have a special paper box for decoration. They are placed inside one by one. If you need to use, take out the one, put it on the bottom, and then draw the patterns onto the fabric to be embroidered.
The most obvious thing is the combination of colorful lines, which requires a little insight. Some are very popular and can be upset when they look, while others are not. The color combination is reasonable and it looks comfortable when they look.
Pang Ya's technique is mainly reflected in this aspect. In addition, there are also the application of needle techniques. There are generally two types. One is to use sewing needles one by one, and the other is to use iron needles to inject patients. Finally, cut them flat with scissors on it. It is furry and is most suitable for depicting flowers, kittens and other animals.
The peonies that Pang Ya embroidered for Fatty and the others, and these bees and butterflies were decorated with them. Although the bee was small, its tentacles had slender wings and feet, making it lifelike.
Fatty also likes these two pillowcases, especially the meaning contained in them is only understandable and not verbal. When the fat man thinks about it, his heart is drifting, like the wings of the two butterflies.
The most eye-catching thing in the house was the TV. In the countryside at that time, it was definitely modern enough. The TV was also covered with a square cover, sewn with large red velvet.
Other small things, such as soap boxes, washbasins, round mirrors with plastic frames, etc., were taken back by big braids.
If you follow Fatty and Xiaoyu, these things would be kept at home. However, Dajiao and Aunt Li said: If a girl gets married, bring a few more bags so that she can get better and better life in the future.
Inside the house, even the curtains and curtains were replaced. The whole new house was bright and joyful, and everyone was clamoring and envious.
The fat man was so happy all day long that he couldn't stop talking. He always liked to say, "Hehe, now there is nothing to lack, there is only a shortage of people!"
"Brother Fat, I'm short of people, then I'll come." The fat man was watching Yuanyang play in the water and was in a daze. He heard a clear voice coming from behind. Without looking back, he knew that it was Xiao Yezi coming.
"Brother Fat, I'm getting married, what gifts should I give you?" The fat man asked by slapping Ye Haibo's shoulder.
"Not you are like you? If you want gifts, a TV is not enough." Ye Haibo looked up at the face of spring breeze, and he could tell that he was happy for the fat man from the bottom of his heart.
The fat man scratched the back of his head: "This seems to be too heavy--"
