Granny Six had nothing to do today, so she decided to take Zhai to visit the various handicraft industries in Tianya Township. So the two of them got on the "country bus" to Tianya Township together.
In the car, the migrant workers from Pegasus Village chatted enthusiastically with Zhai.
"Captain Zhai, I knew that you would be interested in working sooner or later!"
"I heard you guys were either mixing mud or carrying things... So you guys are doing handicrafts?"
In the past half month, Zhai has naturally dealt with the "work team" and heard them chatting, but because he only heard terms such as "moving" mentioned above, he naturally associated it with the construction team.
Everyone said: "The construction team in our Tianya Township is very famous. The Tang Dynasty City That Never Sleeps was built by our own construction team. Most of us do work for the construction team."
"But there are also people doing handicrafts!" said an older lady. "The clay sculptures here also need to be stirred, and the Hanfu weaving workshops also have a lot of moving!"
"Hanfu Textile Workshop... You have a clothing factory here, right?"
Student Zhai understands the existence of clothing factories in rural areas, because not all clothing factories are that big. Small-scale clothing factories in the form of family workshops are even very common in rural areas. As for clay sculptures... Student Zhai can understand it, just treat it as something like a brick factory!
I never thought that such a small place as Tianya Township has handicrafts such as Hanfu and clay sculptures. I really underestimated them.
Just when I was feeling emotional, I heard from the people in the work team.
"Not only that, we also make masks, fans, hand-embroidery, incense... The most impressive thing is the gold, silver and jade jewelry. I heard that if the craftsmanship is particularly good, the labor fee for one piece can be tens of thousands!"
"…Gold, silver, jade, and jewelry making?"
Student Zhai was greatly shocked, because all he could think of was... hand-weaving, making some local specialties like straw hats and baskets. Wow, other people are already making gold, silver and jade items!
…
The depressed student Zhai came to Tianya Township Industrial Park and was really shocked. No, you... you are in this mountain? How could there be an industrial park?
I would believe you if you said this was a development zone in some big city!
I was thinking of leading the villagers to engage in small handicrafts, and you have already built a factory!
"Captain Zhai, we are at work! Please take your time to visit!"
The villagers left one after another, leaving only the idle Grandma Liu who took Zhai to visit the "Tianya Village Intangible Cultural Heritage Industrial Park Experience Store".
In the experience store, Zhai opened his mouth slightly when he saw the handsome, mighty and domineering clay sculptures of the Nine Sons of the Dragon... I thought your clay sculptures were just some random figurines for fun, but I didn't expect that they have become so professional?
When he looked down, he saw that the whole set of clay sculptures of the nine sons of a dragon was priced at 3,888 yuan, and his mouth opened even wider.
Wow! Student Zhai exclaimed, "Wow!"
The stuff is really good, but the price is really not cheap.
Student Zhai continued to look at various masks, folding fans, round fans with embroidered patterns, incense, sandalwood, and even some gorgeous gold and silver jewelry... Of course, the prices were not cheap.
Normally, these things would definitely not be easy to sell in this small village... But there is such a large and 'crowded' scenic spot. In this offline experience store in the industrial park, Mr. Zhai saw quite a few people.
I even saw Chairman Xiao Xu himself.
"Hey, isn't this Xiao Zhai... well, Senior Zhai!"
...Xiao Zhai is Xiao Zhai, and also Senior Zhai. If you treat me as your senior at all, I will take your surname Xu!
When Senior Zhai saw Chairman Xu's complicated look, he felt as if he had seen a huge mountain, a shadow that he would never be able to get out of. Whenever he wanted to do something, he would find that others had already done everything, and he could not even come close to doing it.
Is it necessary to do this...at least give people some self-confidence!
Life is not easy, Xiao Zhai sighed.
"Grandma Ma Liu, you're here too." Xiao Xu greeted Grandma Liu in a familiar manner and took out a stack of coupons from his pocket. "I don't have anything to treat you, so I'll give you these coupons!"
"I'm so embarrassed. Chairman Xu, thank you."
Grandma Liu happily took the coupon, while Xiao Zhai ran to the side disappointedly and took various photos, posted them on his blog, @classmates who helped with poverty alleviation came to watch, and posted a message:
“When I wanted to lead my fellow villagers to develop handicrafts in the countryside, I found that their handmade products… were of this style!”
Many photos of the handmade products were posted on the blog.
The poverty alleviation students who were @ed were stunned and left messages one after another.
"Holy crap! What a handsome turtle! Are you telling me this is handmade?"
"What turtle? Do you see the stele on its back? That's Ba Xia! The sixth of the nine sons of the dragon... Is this a clay sculpture? Made of mud? Holy shit, it's so exquisite!"
"Zhai Zhongxia... is there a price for the jade hairpin you bought? Tell me!"
The group became lively again. Handicrafts... have always been a traditional means of getting rich in the small peasant economy and a transitional stage between agriculture and commerce.
It's not like everyone has not considered the idea of developing handicrafts, but what they think of are basically simple and easy-to-use things.
As a result... their products have already reached the level of high-end handicrafts, and both the quality and the price confuse the cadres of the poverty alleviation villages.
Ah, can handicrafts achieve this level?
