Chapter 52 Plum Bracelet

Across the two small heads, Li Queqi didn't know which one his son was talking about, and when Xiaoxian confirmed it, he pointed to a bracelet on the map.Li Quqi saw it clearly and could only shake his head with a smile. He said that girls are extroverted, but Yezi of his family also had a pair of elbows that turned outward.

Miao women's silverware is mostly headdresses and pendants, which are gorgeous and exquisite in appearance, which is not suitable for Han people.

Li Quqi originally intended to make a padlock for Xiaoxian's life, and it would be nice to hang it around his neck or wear it on his feet when he is too small.

What Zhu Shijun meant was to put a bracelet on Xiaoxian. According to the traditional saying, jade can nourish people, and silverware can ward off evil spirits. Children wear jadeware that is easy to break, so it's okay to bump it with a silverware.

Zhu Shijun saw Li Quqi's expression, and then looked at the bracelet that Xiaoxian and Li Ye pointed out, and felt a little familiar, and then recalled, "This bracelet must have been inspired by the south."

Zhu Shijun also knew that a craftsman like Li Quqi would never steal the styles of other people's homes. He said the inspiration is also a flattering way of saying, generally referring to learning from different items, such as embroidery or small gadgets and paintings. of.

"The old man has good eyesight, and the little girl is also good at picking." Li Queqi curled his index finger, and gave Li Ye a chestnut, so that this kid at such a young age knows that he values ​​sex and despises father.

He also wanted to have a good time when he went back to the village this time, and he didn't have any work at hand, but for the sake of personal favor, he took over a troublesome silverware.

The bracelet on the brochure was specially conceived by Li Cookie for participating in the World Jewelry Competition. There is only one single item in the world, and it is still on display at the Swiss Jewelry Fair.

Miao silver products have been developed to this day, and there are hundreds of styles, but there is not much innovation in the styles.

The name of the bracelet that Yezi chose for Xiaoxian was Meilou, which was made by imitating a traditional food of the Bai nationality, another ethnic minority in the southwestern part of Yunnan.Carved plum is to carve lines on the prepared green plum meat, remove the core and hollow out, and then press it with your fingers to form a chrysanthemum shape. The picture is beautiful and delicious.

When Li Quqi went to Yunnan, he occasionally ate carved plums, thinking of using them on silverware.The making of this melody requires the eyesight and patience of the master silver maker. First, the best sterling silver is melted in a charcoal stove. It must be thousand fine silver. The purer the silver, the softer the material.

Then carefully draw it into a few silk thick silver tubes, seal the seal with sticky welding liquid while it is hot, use carving knives of different sizes and calibers, and carve them out one by one. For the hollowed-out pattern, you need to use force and skill, otherwise, if you are not careful, the wall will be carved, the bracelet will be broken, and the appearance will be damaged.With Li Quqi's current skills, it would take ten days to make such a Meilou bracelet.

"Xiaoxian, let's pick other ones, this thing is too exhausting." Zhu Shijun has a good eye, just looking at the slashed lines on the silver bracelet, he can see that this bracelet is not easy to make.

The silversmith's salary is closely related to the size of the bracelet. This silver bracelet is complicated in workmanship, but the weight is not enough. It only takes two or three silver dollars to spend. It is such a thankless job, let alone Li Cookie. Even an ordinary wandering silversmith is not willing to do it.

"Grandpa, just the plum bracelet. If it is replaced by other ones, the little girl will not be able to wear it when she grows up. This bracelet can be adjusted in size and has a good style. Even if it is compared to the expensive jewelry outside, it is not good. Inferior."

As Li Quqi said, he weighed three silver coins without weighing them, so he first coated Yinyang with borax water, used clips, burned the oxide layer attached to the silver ocean with a fire, and then cleaned it with a copper brush. The light brightened.

"Yezi, you found the matter, and you have to contribute, go, pull the bellows." After Li Queqi agreed to make this bracelet, his son's expression was happier than that of other little girls, and he felt unhappy.It must be that the boy has a good impression of the little girl, but it is my father who needs to do his best.

Pulling the bellows is something only grown-up men do. When Zhu Shijun heard that Li Quqi asked Li Ye to do it, he also felt a little weird.

It turns out that Li Ye is not very old, but he is born with good strength, plus his five elements are very strong, and getting close to the silver furnace will add fire to the fire. Learning how to make silver can be regarded as getting twice the result with half the effort, but this kid is lazy , and disliked the sweltering heat in the workshop, every time Li Queqi asked him to come over to help, he slipped faster than a rabbit in the mountains.

Seeing that the Li family father and son were about to start working, Zhu Shijun gave Xiaoxian a wink. The operation process of this kind of craftsmanship is not rumored, so they should go.

"Grandpa, don't leave in a hurry, I'll take you back after dinner at home," Li Queqi was busy with his hands, and his mouth was unambiguous.

His skill is really good, in the blink of an eye, he melted a few pieces of silver ocean into silver water, but now that the sky is getting dark and the light is not good, Li Quqi is not in a hurry to take shape today.

The village head of Ge Village also came here today. According to the village owner, he came to discuss cooperation between the two villages to build a dam.Li Queqi was also there at the time, and after hearing what he said, he didn't express his opinion.Although he agrees with the Miao Han family, the construction of the dam involves more secrets in the southeast Miao village, and it is impossible to agree to it rashly.But seeing Zhu Shijun now, he had other thoughts.

After leaving the silver workshop, it was almost dusk.The lights have been turned on in the Diaojiao upstairs of the Miao Village, and the hard-working Miao mothers are already carrying firewood for cooking.

Yezi's mother had already dismissed Gecun's gang, and the stove at home had already heated up wine and was cooking a pot of rice, with a chicken and several dishes beside her.

On the stove table in the square, Mr. Zhu took the first seat, Li Queqi took the second seat, Ye Zi's mother also took the seat, and Zhu Xiaoxian and Ye Zi took the last seat.

The fragrant rice in the pot is the Miao family's own rice, which is made of stewed chicken soup. The rice absorbs enough of the chicken soup, and the taste is very fresh.Yezi's mother seemed to have expected that Zhu Shijun and the others would stay for dinner, so she deliberately sat down with a pot of light chicken soup and rice.

After taking a few sips of hot wine, Yezi's mother looked at Zhu Shijun again, and couldn't help boasting, "I haven't seen you for a few months, old man. You've been living longer, and even your hair has turned black." Last time When Zhu Shijun came, he still looked a bit old-fashioned, but this time he was reborn, he looked like he was ten years younger.

"Oh," Li Queqi thought about it after hearing this, took another sip of wine, and said to Yezi, "Yezi, take the little fresh girl to deliver some food to your mother-in-law's house." The meaning is to let Xiaoxian and Li Ye avoid it.

When Yezi's mother heard this, she went to pack the lunch box, prepared a meal for one person, and asked Yezi and the others to send it over.
