Chapter 357 Making Folding Fans and Round Fans

These jewelry and accessories are finished.

afternoon.

Gu Xuan prepared some wood, bamboo, and some white jade and coral.

Upon seeing these items, a fan asked a question.

'What is Brother Xuan trying to do?'

'It should be a fan; you can tell just by looking at the materials.'

'What's the use of that white jade?'

'Looking at how long it is, you should understand that this is used to make fan ribs or the handle of a round fan.'

'You can do that?'

'In ancient times, any material could be used. Now, Brother Xuan has quite a few materials here, so it's not surprising that he uses some.'

I saw the comments posted by fans.

Gu Xuan explained.

"These are indeed used to make fans, and of course, oiled paper umbrellas as well."

'There's something new to see again.'

'Brother Xuan did this before.'

"We have done that before, but those were a bit simpler. Today we're going to make some high-quality stuff."

He sat down at the table and picked up a bamboo stick.

The bamboo used is all rare bamboo.

There are three main types in front of us.

Dragon Scale Bamboo, Xiangfei Bamboo, Purple Bamboo, and Glazed Green Bamboo.

Aside from Liuli Qingzhu, the fans recognize all the others.

"Brother Xuan, this green one is also bamboo, but I've never seen it before."

'This bamboo looks like crystal.'

Is it made of glass?

'It probably just looks like glass.'

Out of curiosity.

Gu Xuan explained.

"Actually, this is also a type of bamboo, but its nodes are transparent, like glass, and its name is Glass Green Bamboo."

He continued.

"This Glazed Green Bamboo does not change color like other bamboos after losing moisture. Just like its name suggests, this bamboo has all the characteristics of bamboo after it grows up. At the same time, it will remain the same as it is when it grows up, and its color will not change, just like glazed glass."

'There's this kind of bamboo too, how mysterious!'

'Indeed mysterious.'

This type of bamboo seems to be an introduced species.

'What foreign product?'

'I always felt it wasn't a product of our planet.'

Gu Xuan had read the introduction.

This glass-like green bamboo is indeed very mysterious.

But it can also be grown here.

This foreign species was previously found in the bamboo forest.

Of course not many.

To avoid giving fans too much to speculate about.

Gu Xuan explained.

"Actually, this kind of glazed green bamboo is a newly discovered bamboo variety here. It is very rare and grows very slowly. Normal bamboo can reach a height of five or six meters in a short time, but this kind of bamboo can only grow one meter a year. There are some in the bamboo forest behind me. I will take you to see it when I have time."

'This plant really exists! How amazing!'

'It must be amazing.'

"Brother Xuan, take us to see."

'Yes, I'm curious.'

Gu Xuan said.

"Not now, let's do it another day. Let's finish making the fans and oiled paper umbrellas first."

The topic was changed.

Everyone then turned their attention to the table.

Everyone is watching Gu Xuan's production.

We used dragon scale bamboo first.

It was used to make a folding fan.

It is a folding fan used by boys.

The fan ribs are simple and quick to make.

The fan ribs were finished in no time, and then the fan surface was taken out.

This time, a fan surface sprinkled with gold was used.

Fold the fan surface and attach it to the fan ribs.

That's how you make a folding fan. Now you can paint on the fan surface.

But now is not the time.

After finishing, I showed it off in front of the camera.

It looks quite ordinary.

'It's really ordinary, no different from what you get outside.'

"The folding fan that Brother Xuan made is made with high-quality materials, more expensive than those found elsewhere. The reason it looks ordinary is probably because there's no painting on the fan surface."

"Yes, that's why it seemed strange; there was no painting on the fan surface."

Gu Xuan also explained.

"We can't start painting yet, we have to wait. There are still many things that haven't been made yet, we'll paint them all together at the end."

'Drawing together is a waste of time.'

'Indeed, with Brother Xuan's painting, the value of this folding fan would increase several times over.'

'I want one too.'

'Who wouldn't want it?'

"This time I will produce a little more, but of course the extra will not be sold online; it will all be sold offline."

"Brother Xuan, tell me the time, I'll book the tickets."

I can go right now.

'I'll go book the tickets.'

"Don't worry, we'll let you know when we've arranged the time."

After reassuring the fans, we continued production.

Twenty folding fans were made solely from dragon scale bamboo.

That's already quite a lot.

After all, there are other bamboos as well.

Then a batch was made using Xiangfei bamboo.

They also made a lot using purple bamboo.

Purple bamboo is relatively inexpensive.

The fan surfaces used by Zizhu were also made of ordinary paper.

The final folding fan was made of glass and green bamboo.

They can be easily separated.

The cross-section is also like glass.

The glass bamboo is very beautiful, and the color is also very pretty.

After being divided, a dragon was carved on the fan ribs to take advantage of the convenient characteristics of the glass bamboo.

Majestic and imposing.

Next is the fan-shaped surface.

This time, Gu Xuan used fan surfaces made of Chengxintang paper.

This paper has also been thickened to a certain extent.

It's just the right size to make a fan surface without it being too brittle.

However, its price is not low.

Two expensive materials were combined to create a folding fan.

Here's a demonstration.

Many boys like this kind of folding fan.

"I'll show it to everyone after I finish painting on it later."

Continue making folding fans.

Ten were made in total.

There aren't many materials, mainly glass and green bamboo.

The remaining ones need to be made into round fans and oiled paper umbrellas.

After the folding fan is finished, it becomes the round fan.

In addition to the fan ribs, silk is also required for the round fan.

He had already prepared the silk.

These silks are all very precious and lightweight.

Several colors were also prepared.

Then Gu Xuan began making it.

There are many types of round fans, but we mainly make two types: perfectly round and oval. We won't be making other shapes for the time being.

The fan ribs are mainly made of four types of bamboo.

The fan handle is made of various materials.

It contains jade and precious wood, mainly sandalwood, ebony and golden nanmu, and of course coral, but using coral to make such a large fan handle is very expensive.

Besides coral, there is also jade.

Fan handles are made of a variety of materials.

All the materials are very beautiful.

In addition, there are fan pendants.

Fan pendants are mainly used for decoration, and their materials are very precious, with a wide variety of designs.

Once the basic shape of the round fan was finished, all that was left was to do the embroidery.

Although I can do it myself, I always feel awkward about it.

Fortunately, all five sisters know how to do it.

One fan commented.

"Does Brother Xuan know embroidery? How do you do the embroidery on this fan?"

"No way, I've never seen Brother Xuan do embroidery before."

I think Brother Xuan will.

Gu Xuan also explained.

"The embroidery on the round fans is mainly done by the five sisters. As for me, I can do it too, but I don't want to."

No wonder Brother Xuan felt awkward.

It should be.

'It seems there are things Brother Xuan is unwilling to do.'

The live stream was filled with joy.

Gu Xuan remained silent for a moment.

Set aside all the finished round fans, and hand the rest over to the five sisters. Next, they will make oil-paper umbrellas.
