Chapter 1405

Now, the middle-aged man is making this small face figure, which is based on a child standing next to him. Regardless of the details and characteristics, the middle-aged man is very accurate. At first glance, he is an old craftsman.

"Mianren'er, classic mask, boss, you're a good craftsman!"

Liu Zixia's eyes lit up when he saw the faces and masks.

I thought that only veteran artists in Beijing would do this. I didn't expect that I met one in Shanghai.

With these words, Liu Zixia also put down Yueyue and Hanhan. The two little girls kept cooing. It seems that they can't wait to have a close look.

Li Mengyi obviously has seen these things, her eyes shining, said: "the boss is really good, see I want one."

"Hey, girl, if you want, we'll make one for you!"

Middle aged people are very busy, but they are still able to distract themselves and have a few words with Liu Zixia.

He kept moving. He looked at Liu Zixia with a smile and said, "this skill is also from my father. When he was young, he learned the skill of kneading and drawing masks from Jinghua.

And I also tell you that this mask and face are edible, and the pigments are mixed with juice of fruits and vegetables. Don't worry about eating bad stomach! "

No matter whether it's a dough maker or this kind of mask, it's actually a dough sculpture. It's a kind of traditional folk handicraft which is simple to make but also highly artistic.

Dough figurines are divided into two categories. One is made of refined flour, glutinous rice flour, salt, preservatives, etc., which are usually used for collection, while the other for food is made of clear flour, raw flour, etc.

The noodle made by the boss is the latter one.

"Is this noodle still edible? It can be used as a temporary food supply

"Great, master! I've only seen it in Beijing. I didn't expect to meet you here. "

"Master, I don't want to wait for you. You can take some masks for my son directly..."

Hearing the introduction of the middle-aged man, all the adults around were full of surprise.

They really don't know that people and masks can eat their feelings?

Seeing middle-aged men painting colorful colors on their faces and masks, they instinctively feel that they can't eat them. Unexpectedly, they can still eat them?

"Dad, this dough figurine is so interesting and fun. I want one!"

Yueyue looks at the middle-aged man attentively. After drying the dough for a while, she hands it to a child standing next to him and says it with admiration.

"Uncle Zixia, I want two masks, too!"

Even Han Han, who has always been a little introverted and shy, can't wait to shout at Liu Zixia.

"All right, all right, all right!" Liu Zixia comforted the two girls, and then asked, "what kind of face do you both want, and what kind of mask do you want?"

Yueyue tilted her cerebellum and said, "Dad, I want beautiful sheep!"

Han Han was quick. She took out a small mobile phone from her pocket, pulled the screen of the mobile phone and said, "Uncle Zixia, I want this uncle to help me draw my father's and mother's faces."

"Han Han, you have a heart!"

Liu Zixia touched Yueyue's cerebellar pouch and said to his boss, "boss, do you know pleasant goat and grey wolf? There is a beautiful sheep in it. Can you squeeze it out? "

"I don't mean it The middle-aged man nodded confidently and said, "what does this little girl want?"

Liu Zixia handed Hanhan's mobile phone to the middle-aged man and said, "boss, grasp the features of these two people's faces and draw two masks. Is this OK?"

The middle-aged man took the phone, looked at it for a while, and said, "it's easy. Painting masks is faster than kneading people."

In fact, it's easier to draw a mask than a dough maker. At least the mask is on the bottom, and you can draw directly on it.

"My beautiful sheep wants the one that is especially lovely!" Yueyue added.

Liu Zixia laughed and said to the middle-aged man, "please, boss!"

"No trouble, that's what we eat!" The middle-aged man laughed, picked up the blank mask and began to draw.

……

In less than five minutes, Han Han's two masks have been made. Their eyebrows, eyes, nose and air really capture the characteristics of Lang Wenxing and Cheng Siqi.

Put two small masks on the glass display cabinet.

Yueyue and Hanhan hastened to gather together the cerebellar melon, and their big eyes were full of joy.

Seeing the two girls happy, the middle-aged man said, "I can't touch them now. I have to wait for a while. The vegetable juice and fruit juice on them are not dry yet."

"All right, uncle, we know!" Yueyue and Hanhan nodded together.

"That..."

Seeing that the two little girls were sincere, and the middle-aged man's craftsmanship was so good, Li Meng hesitated for a moment, then pulled Liu Zixia a little, and whispered: "Zixia, I want one, too."

"You say you are such a big man, how can you still be like a child?"

Liu Zixia said with a smile. As a result, he received a sharp look from Li Meng.

Liu Zixia shivered and said, "OK, just do one! Do you want a face or a mask? "

"I want a noodle man!" "Li Mengyi said directly:" in accordance with the image of Yang Yang pinch one, I go back to coax the children

"Pa" patted his forehead, Liu Zixia said: "Oh, how to forget this stubble, dream one, or you think about children."

"I think you just like girls and don't like sons." Li Meng gave Liu Zixia a silent look.

"It's all my fault, all right?"

Liu Zixia has no choice but to hold his nose to admit it. It's really his fault. He said to the boss who is matching the dough: "boss, I want another dough man, just make it according to the image of this little guy."

The middle-aged man took the mobile phone and observed it while mixing the dough.

After about 3 minutes, he handed back his mobile phone and said, "OK, but you two face-to-face people, it may take 10 minutes. Just a moment."

"Well, take your time. We're in no hurry." Liu Zixia nodded and said.

Usually, some people don't understand why they have to wait so long. Just like the man who just bought the mask, he just can't wait.

The middle-aged man continued to squeeze the dough and said, "this dough maker is actually making sculptures, but it's different from those tall artists. What we do is a civilian art, ha ha..."

While saying this, the middle-aged man's hands began to speed up, a very round dough, in its hands several times pinch, rub, rub... A beautiful sheep rough embryo image appeared.

Then, in the little guys' expectant eyes, the middle-aged man holds a small bamboo knife, skillfully places, cuts, carves, and cuts... In just one minute, and then puts on two little sheep horns and clothes scarves, a vivid image of the beautiful sheep is out of hand.

No matter whether it's Yueyue or Hanhan, they are all on the hard glass fiber reinforced plastic corner frame, watching curiously.

The two little girls were staring at the middle-aged man's face tightly, as if they were afraid that his hand would tremble and damage the handicraft because of the wrong color.

Finally, the middle-aged man finally finished the color, the image, look, and cartoon characters, no different, just more three-dimensional.

And the most surprising thing for Yueyue is the curly wool on meiyang, which is very textural!

Also put the face of the beautiful sheep on the glass display cabinet to air for a while, the middle-aged man began to make the face about Yang Yang.

This time, the speed is obviously slower than that of the production of sheep noodle. But when you think about it, after all, it's time to take people as the image.

Five minutes later, the image of Yang Yang appeared. Although there was still a little gap compared with the real person, the real effect and the expression characteristics of Yang Yang's face were very good.

Let a person see the past at first sight, know this image is Yang!

"Little girls, how is uncle doing?"

When all the masks and faces were dry, the middle-aged man handed them to Yueyue and Hanhan respectively, and asked with a smile by the way.

"Good!" Yueyue and Hanhan cried together.

"Ha ha, with your praise, my uncle is very happy!" The middle-aged man laughed.

"Thank you, boss." Liu Zixia said with a smile: "how much is it?"

Just now, the boss said that whether you come out to make this dough figurine or mask, it's all for the sake of making a living, so you have to pay in the end.

"Two faces, two masks, you give 100 yuan." The middle-aged man said with a smile.

Liu Zixia was stunned and didn't pay out.

"Why, sir, is it too expensive?"

"The middle-aged man said:" otherwise, 10 yuan cheaper is OK! Originally, there were 30 dough figurines and 20 masks. If you want more, you can give 90! "

"No, it's not too expensive."

Liu Zixia shook his head and said, "I think it's too cheap. Your craftsmanship is so good that a dough maker only sells for 30 yuan. Your craftsmanship is also too cheap."

"Hey, just have a bite."

The middle-aged man waved his hand and said, "besides, there are fewer and fewer people who know this craft. If I can still rely on it, I will be very satisfied."

Liu Zixia said curiously, "boss, don't you have any children or apprentices to do this?"

"Hey, forget it!"

The middle-aged man gave a wry smile and said: today's young people want to be stars. They think that stars can make money quickly and have face. Otherwise, they go to foreign enterprises or big companies. They think that if they are tall and tall, they can't look up to us who make faces or masks?

I have three children, two girls went to a big company, and only one son has not graduated from university. He likes this craft very much, but he is still young and has many choices. Who knows how he will choose in the future? "

Hearing what the middle-aged people said, Liu Zixia's heart was actually a little heavy.

Dough maker is not only a traditional Chinese folk craft, but also an intangible cultural heritage. It is indeed a sin to let it disappear in the long history of China.

If these Chinese traditional memories can be publicized and carried forward, will there be a lot of people to learn?

When I think of it, the name of a variety show, I have a family heirloom, flashed through Liu Zixia's mind!
