Craftsman: I continue to learn for the sake of the saints

Chapter 41

"I'm going, I saw a dragon with my own eyes today!"

"Ten days, a full ten days, ten days of watching, today is finally over, scattered flowers!"

"Brother Luo, this carver is really amazing. No matter how good this dragon is, it can be regarded as a real dragon."

"Will this be used as a film and television material in the future?"

"Sister Cha, sister, give me the address, I want to check in."

"Your Majesty, the spectacle is detrimental to the country! You still have to worry about state affairs!"

……

In the live broadcast room, comments came out one after another.

The current popularity in the live broadcast room has reached tens of thousands during the live broadcast, and Qin Luo's fans have exceeded 50.

In terms of "traditional craftsmanship", even if it is not a first-tier anchor, it can at least be a second-tier anchor.

Although, it is limited to the Douyin platform.

Every time there is a live broadcast, the reward income alone can be several thousand yuan.

Moreover, Qin Luo's ability to carry goods is also quite capable.

The main thing is a pure work production.

In the past half month, 3000 woodcarvings worth 32 yuan each have been booked.

He is currently making two kinds of incense, one cardamom incense body pill, and one Yuhua awakening drunken incense, and even before they are made, someone has ordered them in advance.

When you place an order, you need to grab it.

Because word of mouth is really good.

Anyone who has used it will want to repurchase.

Those who have not used it, want to try it as long as the economic conditions allow.

On Xiaohongshu, celebrities began to actively recommend it, and some big Vs even contacted Qin Luo, wanting to become a channel provider.

It's just that the production capacity is not enough.

Someone even advised Qin Luo to open a factory.

It's just that he rejected them all.

My own "foundation foundation" lies in pure handwork.

Because of pure handwork, the supply exceeds demand, the selling price, and the brand can be produced.

If the assembly line is really going to be produced, the brand will almost be smashed.

One-third of the incense that Qin Luo produces every day is supplied to Jiang Shishi in Haicheng.

Recently in Haicheng, these two products have become quite famous.

Even faintly become the trend of young people's choice.

Jiang Shishi also specially customized a "gift box", plus some handmade wooden signs, and sold them at a raised price, each sold for 688.

But even so, it is still in short supply.

In the past month, Qin Luoguang's income from selling incense has exceeded one million.

The task No. 003 released by the system is currently nearly half of the progress.

……

at this time.

At the scene, the final eyes have been carved, and Qin Luo watched with satisfaction.

Just one word, cool!

Compared with the restoration of Guan Gong's woodcarving last time, this stone carving "Blue Dragon on Water" can also be regarded as his pinnacle work at this stage.

There are few downsides.

The only thing lacking may be the precipitation brought by the years.

This stone dragon is too majestic and domineering, a little lacking in roundness.

It's about age.

Jumping from the stone base into the boat and walking to the shore, Qin Luo threw away the tools and told grandpa that it was time to prepare for "burning incense".

This process is not a complete feudal superstition, but also a sense of ritual.

The ancient craftsmen, whenever they carved a dragon with eyes, it must be incense.

It implies a kind of awe.

Bless the weather.

After a while.

On the stone platform in front of the dragon head, there is an incense burner, and three wisps of green smoke curl up.

Coincidentally.

The days of May can change as they say.

Today was originally a sunny day, but when the incense was about to burn off, a dark cloud suddenly floated in the sky.

Darkness.

The sky is already cloudy.

The villagers of Jinzhang Village, seeing this scene, some old men and women even had the urge to kneel down.

The live broadcast room was completely blown up.

Qin Luo: ...

Explain again and again that this is just a coincidence, really a coincidence.

However, the more I explained, the more people believed me.

The style of painting in the live broadcast room began to become more and more outrageous.

Some people even said that they came back from cultivating immortals and lived in seclusion in mountain villages, similar to big bosses like Wang Chen Beixuan.

Qin Luo... was completely speechless.

……

Waited until home for lunch.

Take a break.

In the evening, it really started to rain lightly.

When it rained, many villagers braved the rain and came to the house to talk to grandpa.

A group of old men and old ladies chatted about all kinds of "mountain anecdotes" and "gods and ghosts".

The uncle was listening by the side, speechless.

He is an atheist.

staunch atheist.

Don't believe this at all.

It was already rainy in May, what happened to Guan Long?
However, this coincidence is not a bad thing, at least it casts a layer of mystery on his own fish pond.

Fish... rejoice.

The reason why Qin Luo sculpted this dragon before was not only to hone his skills, but also out of consideration in this regard.

but……

This is not enough if we want the fishponds to develop "healthily" in the village.

the next day.

The uncle's voice rang out from the loudspeaker of the village committee, calling all the villagers for a meeting.

Qin Luo was also present.

Looking at various information in the village.

In Jinzhang Village, when the population was censused last year, there were a total of 390 households with a total of [-] people.

Last year, [-] households moved away, and their household registrations were all removed.

There are only 91 households left.

The number of people, there are only 370 eight people left.

According to my uncle's preliminary statistics, there are less than 100 people staying in the village at present, and most of them are over 50 years old or in poor health.

And a dozen left-behind children who followed their grandparents.

Almost all the strong labor force in the village went out to work.

A lot of land is barren.

Working hard to plant an acre of land throughout the year, except for chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and seeds, it costs about 3000 yuan, and at most it does not exceed [-] yuan.

Still have to catch up with the hard work of the whole year.

Going out to work, this is almost only a month's income.

People follow money.

Hearing the shouts, the villagers came one after another, chatting leisurely in front of the stage that was built before.

It feels almost human.

The uncle took the microphone, coughed twice, and cleared his throat.

"Two things to talk about today."

"The first one, everyone has seen the fish pond. To tell you the truth, it was dug out by my family, Xiao Luo, who invested 20 yuan and prepared to put fish fry. Next, he plans to attract people from the city to come to our village to fish and drive the economy. .”

"If it develops in the future, there will be more people, and people will need to go there to watch the fish. Each person will be paid 100 yuan a day, and it will take turns. Every household queues up, and it is right to give everyone an extra money for grocery shopping."

"What's more...Xiao Luo said, the fish ticket. When the fish grows up, each household can get two fish per month. It is calculated on a monthly basis and cannot be paid in advance. Four at the end of the year. That is to say, Each household will be issued 26 fish tickets a year. The right should be given to the elderly in our village to show their filial piety."

"However, the ugly words are up front. If the fish dies and the compensation is paid, then it will not be released."

"It's the first thing!"

Uncle is very angry.

This plan was drawn up by him and several "leaders" in the village, as well as Qin Luo.

It's nothing for the whole village to recruit a few people and send out a few fish.

If this place can really become a well-known fishing spot, there is no need to "sell fish".

……

After a pause, he started to say the second thing: "Plant trees!"

"Xiao Luo has built a mountain and pays 10 yuan to the village every year to plant trees. The village committee has already agreed and reported it to the town."

"Planting trees, that's a good thing."

"The saplings will be brought in one after another. You need to hire someone to plant the trees. It's not a heavy job. If someone wants to do it, come to me to sign up."

"Plant one fifty."

"It's May now, half a year later, if the saplings are not dead, the bill will be settled, and the dead ones are not worth the money."

Qin Luo had asked the professor of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences to come down to look at the matter of dipterocamphorus, just as he was carving the dragon.

At that time, Qin Luo was not free, so his uncle accompanied him the whole time.

The professor surveyed various conditions, sunshine, temperature, climate, hydrology, soil, pests and diseases, and worked hard for several days. Finally, he delineated a hill and said it could be planted.

So, let's get started now.

There is no need to say much about the economic value of borneol camphor.

This business must be profitable.

To put it bluntly, even if [-]% of the saplings died and [-]% survived, they were still making money.

……

Qin Luo is not the Holy Mother, so he doesn't think that there are good people in the village, and there is no troublemaker.

But he didn't imagine everyone to be bad either.

Not to give up doing things.

Institutions are important.

As long as the system is well established, it can basically prevent this from happening.

And, there is also the prestige of the uncle, and several "leaders" in the village, all of which have been won over.

Minimize risk.

Let's do it first and then talk.

Doing these things can make a lot of money for yourself, and it can also drive the villagers to increase their income and become rich.

Even if I lost all of it, I wouldn't lose much money, up to 30. I made incense myself, and I made it back in less than two weeks.

The price is totally affordable.

It's like starting a business.

Maybe you will lose, but what if you win?
I dare not even open it, and I never know what it will develop into in the future.
