The two luoli are obviously wealthy families, but after they came out, they felt very curious about many things in the outside world. They had never seen the world and always asked some curious questions about Populus.

In fact, it is not that they have never seen the world, but that they live in different circles. If they have never been to such places, they are filled with a sense of freshness.

In this regard, Hu Yang and Andy Lau did not really hate their voices. The sound was not bad, like larks, and their appearance was placed there, which made people not hate them. After all, appearance is justice!

Even the foreigner Coser, who doesn't understand what everyone is saying, likes these two lively luolis, who join in the fun from time to time, and uses translation software to chat with everyone, hoping to integrate into everyone's chat.

"You two are also people who often watch Brother Hu's live broadcasts. They know the rules of the antique market. Don't touch them randomly and be careful of being hit by them." Andy Lau reminded them.

At this time, poplar's footsteps stopped.

On the left side, there is a small shop with a small storefront that attracted his attention. The sign of the store is marked with the words "Intangible Cultural Heritage".

So, Huyang took everyone in.

When we got inside, we found that the ones sold were all wooden utensils. Large items include tables, chairs, cabinets, etc., small items include wooden bottles, small screens for decoration, wooden combs, etc.

Anyone who pays attention can notice that all wooden objects seem to have patterns and exquisite patterns.

There was only a middle-aged and elderly master in the store. He didn't notice that a customer came in and continued to do his work, and was very dedicated.

"Brother Hu, these things are very special."

"Why is it special?" Hu Yang asked.

"The pattern on the wooden product doesn't seem to be painted."

Huyang praised: "Well! Andy Lau, your observation ability has increased recently. That's right! It's not painted, but inlaid. This is one of Ningbo's traditional handicrafts, called elderberry inlaid, and it's rare."

Elderwood inlay is a traditional craft that uses ivory, boxwood, mahogany, rosewood, beef bones, mother-of-pearl, copper sheets, wax stones, etc. as raw materials, and then trough the wood blank, then grind and carved, and painted.

This craft is more common in furniture, screens, stationery and daily necessities, and has strong local characteristics.

Speaking of which, the origin of this craft is a long history, and can be traced back to the Longshan culture period. On an inlaid coffin unearthed from Yin Ruins in Anyang, Henan, you can find patterns of animal bones and mother-of-pearl inlays.

After a long period of time, the essence of the traditional and folk paintings of Ningbo wood carvings was finally absorbed, and the fixed style of elderberry inlay was gradually formed. This craftsmanship reached its prosperous period between the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty and the Daoguang period.

"Color is one of the most distinctive forms of elderberry inlay. It makes full use of the true colors of natural materials without adding other modified colors to form the special decorative effect of elderberry inlay art and a strong black and white contrast.

Moreover, another artistic feature of elderberry inlay is the decorative nature of the image. The image of the picture shows a silhouette effect in the black and white setting, and has the decorative nature of the folk characteristics." Poplar introduced.

Just as Hu Yang was popularizing traditional cultural knowledge to Andy Lau and others, as well as the audience in the live broadcast room, the master in the store had already stopped his work and looked at Hu Yang and the others.

Obviously, I also heard those words from Poplar.

He was surprised that this young man knew their traditional crafts so well. After hearing Hu Yang's words, he couldn't help but applaud.

"Young man, I know a lot about elderberry inlay! Alas! However, this craft may not last long. I..."

Afterwards, the master introduced himself, Cao Yunjuan, who has been engaged in this craft for many generations. Now, even his descendants are not willing to inherit this craft, let alone others.

Young people today are basically very impetuous, unable to endure this pain and cannot withstand this loneliness.

Learning a craft is not an easy thing. Putting aside the talent, two or three years, or even longer, is a must, and many people can't survive this period.

In addition, even if you learn it, it is not easy to complete a work.

For example, if they want to complete a work, they have to draw a draft, saw the bones, chisel wood, inlay, fine engrave, etc., and each process cannot tolerate any ambiguity.

Moreover, some handicrafts are now affected by the products produced by machines and cannot beat others.

Some things produced by machines seem to be no different, but the prices are much cheaper. In this case, their sales have become a big problem.

Then, when income and effort are not proportional, it is even more difficult to attract young people, and heirs are the problem that everyone is worried about.

Master Cao complained to everyone for a while, and realized that everyone was still standing, so he hurriedly asked everyone to sit down.

When everyone heard Master Cao’s complaints, they couldn’t help but think of the craftsmen that Brother Hu had encountered, and they also encountered similar situations. It seems that almost all traditional crafts have encountered the same problems and are just living.

Poplar euphratica picked up an exquisite vase for flower arrangement, inlaid with white shells, not bones.

This kind of bottle costs 500 yuan. To be honest, this price is really not competitive. In the eyes of many people, it is definitely expensive. Isn’t it fragrant if you spend a few dozen yuan to buy a porcelain one?

But even so, Master Cao has tried his best to reduce the price. To make such a product, the materials are about 100 yuan, and it takes two or three days to make it. That is to say, in two or three days, his labor cost is 400 yuan, and less than 200 yuan a day, which is simply worse than moving bricks.

It’s no wonder that young people today are no longer interested in these crafts.

"Are you shooting? Are you reporters?" Master Cao couldn't help asking.

He saw that there were handsome men and beautiful women in this group, as well as foreigners, and some were responsible for shooting, so he couldn't help asking.

"Yes, yes! Will there be any impact on shooting? However, we are not reporters, this is live broadcast." Hu Yang quickly explained.

Master Cao waved his hand, but was a little disappointed. He really hoped that a reporter would help report and promote it so that they, the traditional craftsmen, would live a better life.

"It's not hindering, it's not hindering! You guys take a photo! There's nothing shameful about it."

"Hehe! Brother Hu, do you want to help the master bring goods again?" Xiaoxiaoluoli smiled.

This is not the first time Brother Hu has done this kind of thing. Every time he encounters such a difficult craftsman, he will help him. In her opinion, isn’t this just live streaming to sell goods?

Of course, Brother Hu’s live streaming sales are a bit different. He first pays for a batch of money to give to his fans, and then looks at the abilities of other fans. If he likes it, he can help buy some.

Master Cao was stunned for a moment, bringing goods?

After hearing Xiaoxiao's words, Hu Yang did not object and said to the audience in the live broadcast room: "Everyone, no matter whether you like it or not, I will give you this benefit."

OK! Are you planning to give out benefits forcibly?

The audience in the live broadcast room suddenly laughed. Only Brother Hu could do such a thing.

In fact, as long as it is free, who will dislike it?

Those handicrafts look pretty, of grade, and are made by hand. If you pay for it yourself, you might have to think carefully, but since they are free, you basically don’t dislike them, right?

They knew that the benefits of live broadcasts today are definitely indispensable.

"Master, how many of your small works are there? Forget large ones, it's not convenient to deliver them." Hu Yang asked.

Master Cao realized that this young man planned to buy all his small works. He was very surprised, that was quite a lot!

"I'll see, you wait."

They are all works that no one has liked for several years, and there are still more than a hundred or dozens of them! This is what I met with a big customer, and I came to help him clean up the inventory.

To be honest, it’s a pity to lose it after saving so much, but if anyone wants it, he is a little afraid to do it. Some time ago, he was still thinking about stopping it first, and then doing it after having an order, and doing it according to the customer’s requirements, so that so many goods will not be left behind.

He quickly looked for it, and just let it go, such as tables, stools, cabinets, etc.

Other decorations, such as vases, small photo frames, etc., are a bit practical, not just decorations. In total, he was asked to find more than 130 pieces, but the prices were not uniform, the ones were expensive, and the ones were cheaper, such as wooden combs, inlaid with crystals.

Huyang held a lottery event and immediately drew more than 100 viewers. As for who will receive what, it cannot be guaranteed.

The lucky audience, address, contact information, etc. that were drawn, then they took a screenshot and passed it to Master Cao, and sent it out for this job. Hu Yang planned to leave it to Master Cao.

"Don't worry, don't worry! I promise to do it properly. Every work will be delivered to everyone. I will check and track the express delivery information in time." Master Cao and Hu Yang promised.

Of course he would not refuse such a small matter. He was already grateful for the fact that someone had helped him clean up so much inventory.

Now, he finally experienced the power of the Internet.

Thank you! This one hundred pieces cost me nearly 100,000 yuan. Of course, in comparison, the benefits this time are relatively average.

In addition, the audience who did not draw, and those who were moved to see those works, were all attacked and capable. Soon, Master Cao's other inventory was swept away, and there were even some orders.

He was very surprised, and the remaining orders were enough for him to be busy for about a month.

I am naturally very grateful to the people of Hu Yang, and finally I understand that the "bringing goods" mentioned by the little girl just now turned out to be like this, which is simply terrible.

He didn't understand that some celebrities are now selling live streaming goods, which is quite powerful, and they can be as many as tens of millions or as many as hundreds of millions of dollars at any time.

In contrast, Huyang is just a small fight.

If you want to keep Hupo Poplar and others, you can invite everyone to dinner later, but Hupo Poplar and others have other things to do, so you can only leave a contact information first to facilitate contact in the future.

Finally, Master Cao said a lot of words to send Hu Yang and the others out of the shop.
Chapter completed!
