Chapter 295 Miao Family Handicrafts

Zhang Tianyuan and Mu Ying walked around in Panjiayuan, while watching the excitement, there are really not many genuine products here, but the key is that there are many kinds of things, in fact, coming here is not necessarily to buy antiques, some special collectibles can still be bought back as treasures.

Mu Ying is different from Zhang Tianyuan, she likes to be lively, so wherever there are many people, she runs wherever she goes, and she is not afraid of getting lost at all.

Walking to the place where the Miao family sells handicrafts, she was stunned and squeezed in from a crowd of people, and her small body didn't know how she had so much energy.

Zhang Tianyuan is too lazy to squeeze, but he is interested in these Miao handicrafts, his folk souvenir company is currently mainly making Zuò is only the folk handicrafts of Shaanzhou, the scope is too small, and the audience is relatively small.

In recent years, the ethnic color of the Panjiayuan market has become stronger and stronger, and a small number of ethnic brothers and sisters frequently appear in the ranks of stall owners, dressed in beautiful national costumes, and will also negotiate prices with foreign customers in English. Many of them are Miao people from the southwest of China, with beautiful Miao costumes and embroidered cloth.

Let's talk about these stalls in front of you, there are old and young, there are couples, and there are old women, all of them are shrewd hawkers, and in their goods, you can see all kinds of silver jewelry, collars, earrings, bracelets...... Each piece is carved with exquisite patterns, including butterflies with wings spread and phoenixes with their heads held high, which are lifelike and beautiful.

A female stall owner told tourists around Sù that Miao women wear silver jewelry when festivals come. There are silver hairpins, silver collars, silver earrings, etc., and the most silver jewelry worn on the whole body can reach twenty or thirty catties. She said. For the Miao family, silver jewelry has a decorative effect. There is also the meaning of warding off evil spirits.

It is said that their silver ornaments were made by silversmiths in their hometown of Guinan, who then bought them from silversmiths. Among the various types of silver jewelry, the most time-consuming thing to make is the silver collar. The silver collar is carved by the silversmith with his own imagination, and it takes about seven or eight days to make a larger collar, the style is relatively rough, the shape is more unique, the material is good, and the style is new.

In fact, Zhang Tianyuan looked at these things. If you collect it as a gadget or sell it to foreigners, it is really a good seller, and now he is also guilty of the fault of a businessman, and the first thing that comes to mind when he sees something is whether it can be used as a commodity and whether it can be incorporated into his own company's business.

In Panjiayuan, these Miao families are very hardworking, and they go to the market every weekend to set up stalls. On days when there is no stall, I embroider flowers in preparation for the next weekend. In the big market of the imperial capital Panjiayuan, they are running and working hard for their livelihood. If anyone has the opportunity to go to Panjiayuan Market, they may wish to go to the stalls of these Miao families to see, turn around, and chat, and experience the Miao family style they bring to the imperial capital and Panjiayuan.

Zhang Tianyuan noticed an old woman from the Miao family.

She embroidered insoles while guarding the stall. The old woman's name was clematis. She is from Guinan. The old man's stall is mainly engaged in the embroidery of the Miao family, which is actually commonly known as embroidered cloth. These embroidery pieces vary in size and some are brightly colored. Others are more modest. Different embroidery pieces have different uses, some are sewn on clothes for lace, some are hung on the wall for decoration, and some are used by Miao women to carry children's straps.

Most of the old man's embroidery was embroidered by herself, and some were embroidered by the old man's deceased grandmother. Although these embroideries are full of a lot of painstaking efforts, they are not sold at a good price in their hometown of Guinan. Because in Guinan, every family has such embroidery, so there is no market in the local area, and later I heard that the embroidery pieces of the imperial capital Panjiayuan can be sold at a good price, so many people come from their hometown to sell.

The old man embroidered a very beautiful strap with a budding rose on it. It also takes two to three years to make such a strap for clematis who is skilled in embroidery. The old man said that the Miao style embroidery piece is loved by customers in the emperor, people in our country, and foreigners also like it.

Zhang Tianyuan stepped forward and squatted in front of the old man's stall, chose a piece of embroidered cloth and bought it, this thing is useless to him, but it is also suitable for girls, it is a beautiful gift, and it is not expensive.

Of course, he didn't buy this thing to give a gift to anyone, but just to chat with the old man.

"Old man, is business good?"

"Okay, good! These things sell out so fast that I don't even have time to do them. Clematis said with a smile.

"Then if you let those mothers-in-law and aunts in Guinan come out to do this, are they willing?"

"Yes, why not, if you can make money!"

Zhang Tianyuan pondered silently for a while, and had a number in his heart, these things should be a lot in Guinan, so they didn't sell well, but when they arrived at Panjiayuan, they became scarce and expensive, because there were many guests and few things here, which is commonly known as more monks and less porridge.

In fact, if you think about it in another direction, if you sell these things abroad, it will be more valuable, and the sales will definitely not be bad, until now, Zhang Tianyuan's company only does export business that is to make jadeite ornaments for the local tyrants in the Middle East, but good jadeite is hard to find after all, unlike this embroidered cloth and other folk crafts, which can be produced in unlimited quantities.

Whether the whole world can blow a Chinese wind depends on whether Zhang Tianyuan's company has the ability to make this thing bigger and stronger.

He plans to hand over this matter to Liu Hao and Li Xiao to do, it just so happens that they often go abroad, so they can take some out to see how the sales are, if it is really good, it can still be done in expanding export channels.

Thinking of this, Zhang Tianyuan stood up and said with a smile: "Old man, I wish you a fortune, don't work too hard." ”

He left the stall and saw that Mu Ying had also squeezed out of the crowd, still holding a silver bracelet in her hand.

"Do you like silver bracelets?" asked Zhang Tianyuan.

"Can't you?"

"If you like it, let Gangzi buy it for you, what's the matter if you buy it yourself. Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.

"I'm calling it self-reliance!Alright, let's continue shopping. Let's see if there's anything else fun. Mu Ying smiled and put the bracelet on her hand directly. Then he shook it against the sun, and it was quite dazzling.

……

In the Pan homeland. Antiques, calligraphy and painting, handicrafts, rare jewelry, ancient books, furniture, etc., can be said to be varied, some people say that it is like a fighting museum, with a dazzling array is not enough to describe its richness, at the end of October 2001 was completed and put into use the arts and crafts greenhouse, there are many professional or amateur calligraphers and painters in this direct sale of their own calligraphy and painting works, the price is cheaper than elsewhere, many galleries in the imperial capital also buy from here, but most of them are big road goods.

To find the best and the rarer. You have to use one word: "Tao".

Therefore, when visiting Panjiayuan, some people call it "Taobao"!

Every weekend, there will be thousands of Chinese and foreign tourists here one after another, in order to find one or two of their favorite treasures, just like today, regardless of whether it is foreign or domestic, they all want to find their favorite treasures.

However, if you want to come here to Taobao, you have to be cautious and careful. It's hard to tell if it's true or fake. In addition, it is said that the stall owners here are all masters who have seen the world, so it is difficult to deal with.

In fact, it is not too late for Zhang Tianyuan and Mu Ying to come to Panjiayuan today. Coming directly from the airport, it was still morning, but the flow of people in this treasure hunt was like a pilgrimage. It can be described as a sea of people.

The two of them finished visiting the Miao family's handicraft store, and some went to the place where they bought used books and magazines. You can sometimes find some unexpected treasures here.

Because they're not here to buy something. It's just hanging out, so it's not in a hurry, the old book market occupies half of Panjiayuan, and the purchase and sales are booming. Others are like going to the battlefield to find books, and they are quick to solve the battle, and they are in a hurry, but they are watching the excitement, like a leisurely stroll, not in a hurry.

In a corner of the market, two people saw a girl holding an old journal from the stall and looking up and down, and the war scene on the cover directly told the reader that it was a publication before the founding of the People's Republic of China.

The girl casually asked, "How much?", and the bookseller replied categorically, "1300!". Zhang Tianyuan was a little surprised, because he heard the girl's voice very familiar, it should be someone he knew, but because there were too many people, and the girl was facing inside, his face was blocked, and he couldn't see it clearly.

When the girl heard the bid, she pursed her lips and smiled, "It's too high, isn't it?", but the book in her hand did not let go.

Zhang Tianyuan thought to himself, what kind of book actually costs 1300 yuan, so his heart is also a little itchy, he is also a book lover, it is very natural to be interested in books, it is not strange, he observed quietly, wanted to take the opportunity to squeeze in, but saw that someone was actually faster than him, and had already come to the girl's side, obviously interested in the book, but instead looked around at him, hoping that the girl could put down the book.

What is the purpose of this person, Zhang Tianyuan can see it very clearly, it is nothing more than wanting to take advantage of it, to see what kind of old magazine it is, which can be worth thousands of yuan. The girl seemed to think that 1300 was a bit too expensive, and when she saw the people around her, she probably felt a little uncomfortable, and finally gave up the book gently.

The man next to him quickly reached for the book. It's a pity that it's too late, it's fast, and with a "plop", the girl who just gave up jumped up like a frightened rabbit and grabbed the book in her hand first. The fish jumped forward and rolled over, which made Zhang Tianyuan look dumbfounded.

No matter how good the book is, it is also something outside the body after all, why is a girl like this?

Thinking so, Zhang Tianyuan stretched his neck on tiptoe and looked at the book, and a portrait of Deng Gong in the early days of the war against Japan came into view. The girl quickly checked the magazine and found that there were no missing pages, many front and back covers, and after the 1,300 yuan buyout, she hurriedly rushed out of the crowd like a treasure.

At this time, Zhang Tianyuan finally saw the girl's face clearly.

"Ouyang Xiaodan!"

"Brother Tianyuan!"

Both were taken aback.

At this time, Ouyang Xiaodan was obviously a little wolf, his originally neat hair had been squeezed into a mess, damn it, on the moon-white skirt, he didn't know that the pervert wolf had left a handprint, which made people sick to their stomachs when they looked at it.

Probably the reason why Ouyang Xiaodan gave up the book at the beginning was because he noticed that he was touched, and he reacted quickly, and this slap touched his thigh, otherwise, he would have touched his butt directly.

"Why did you come here alone, what a mess! What kind of books to buy, so hard?" Zhang Tianyuan asked puzzled.

"Hmph, who's like you, there are beautiful women everywhere you go. Originally, Ouyang Xiaodan was quite happy to see Zhang Tianyuan, but when he saw that there was still a Mu Ying standing next to Zhang Tianyuan, his face was not good-looking. (To be continued......)
