Chapter 134 "Natural Works to Open Things, Pen, Ink, Paper and Ink
Don’t bother with the fact that the ducks are on the shelves, in short, the program team is planning to shoot the leaves!
Contemporary great writers personally used ancient methods to make pen, ink, paper and inkstones, which is definitely more interesting than those who photographed inheritors!
At least, Ye Luo’s fame is not something that people like them can compare with!
This gimmick alone is enough to attract a large number of audiences!
As long as the content is not too bad, will the ratings of this show be there?
...
After several days of preparation, the program team finally found a venue and tools for Ye Luo.
Since I really want to shoot, Ye Luo is willing to do his best!
Isn’t it just an ancient craft?
Isn’t it just a pen, ink, paper and inkstone?
Others don’t know how the ancients made it, but Ye Luo is so clear!
If we want to take pictures, we will take pictures of the most classic and authentic ones!
Just start shooting with the selection of materials!
At this moment, the members of the program team of "The Work of Heaven" were standing outside the sheep pen of a farmer in Yanjiao. Looking at the whitest goat in the sheep pen, Director Zhao swallowed, "Teacher Ye, are you sure you want to go to shear the wool yourself?"
Others also looked strange. The theme of our program is ancient techniques, but you are so ancient? Can't you buy some directly?
"If you want to fully display the whole process, you must start recording from the material." Ye Luo said, and then said, "However, Mr. Zhao, what you said is not rigorous enough. Why did I go to shear the wool yourself? When did I say that I would go?" As he said that, he handed the scissors in his hand to Director Zhao, "The preparations are all for you. Go, and you need the whitest piece on his chest!"
Looking at the scissors that Ye Luo rubbed over, Director Zhao was stunned, "No? What does it mean? I'll go?"
"Otherwise?" Ye Luo took it for granted, "I am responsible for the production, you are responsible for the materials. Didn't we agree on it before?"
"No, then can't you just buy some?"
"Then you can just buy a brush?"
"I……"
Director Zhao looked at the sheep in the sheep pen and he was numb.
"Director Deng, I can't cut it alone." Director Zhao looked directly at the director next to him.
Director Deng: "????"
Are you an individual?
"Teacher Ye, let's find a professional. There is no need for us to do this by ourselves, right?" Director Deng said.
Ye Luo curled his lips and said, "Why don't you find a professional brush? Do you know this is the highlight of our documentary? The director and the director personally sheared the wool. Just this gimmick is eye-catching!"
Director Deng and Director Zhao all pulled the corners of their mouths. This sentence sounded too familiar.
Come on, Teacher Ye said so, it wouldn’t work if you don’t cut it.
The two of them really tried their best. They gritted their teeth and stomped their feet, stepped into the sheep pen, and rushed towards the whitest sheep.
"Aa~Aa~"
Suddenly, a mess was in the sheep pen.
Director Deng also shouted, "Fuck, I'll catch it! Xiao Liu, turn on the computer quickly!"
Needless to say, the three camera sets of lenses have already been turned on, and they will be shooting directly in front of the sheep pen!
Ye Luo was not idle either. He was the host and said to the camera: "Hello everyone, everyone. Now we are seeing the first step in making ancient brushes, selecting high-quality aries. At present, the director and director of our program team are collecting the most important raw materials for us."
It took more than ten minutes for Director Zhao and his two men to collect enough Aries.
"It's a good thing you're not doing a wolf pen, otherwise Old Deng and we would probably not have enough lives." Director Zhao complained while slapping the fodder on his body.
But Ye Luo cut it and said to him: "The wolf's brush is not used for the wolf in the zoo, but for the weasel's hair."
"Ah? Is that right?" Not to mention Director Zhao, the rest of the program team were also stunned. This was the first time they knew about it.
"Don't pinch this paragraph, keep it, this is a knowledge point." Ye Luo said to the camera.
"Okay, Teacher Ye." The cameraman knew very well. Who is the boss of this program team now, so he could only look at Director Zhao apologetically.
Director Zhao suddenly had a black thread. If I combined it, I would become a negative textbook?
The main materials for making the pen tip are considered to be prepared, and the next step is to find the raw materials for making the pen holder. This is relatively simple, just use bamboo for the pen holder.
Of course, if this is in the south, there will be bamboo everywhere, but there are still not many in the imperial capital.
There are also some ornamental bamboos or potted plants.
"Director Deng, I think the ornamental bamboos in our Huashi compound are pretty good." Ye Luo said.
Director Deng's mouth was trembling, "Teacher Ye, there is no suitable place else?"
If you ask me to cut the ornamental bamboo in Huasiyuan, then won’t he wait to be scolded?
"Okay, there is a pretty good pot in Director Tang's office..."
"Teacher Ye! It's the ornamental bamboo in the yard!"
The program team rushed back to China TV again. Director Zhao and Director Deng, one of them, each with an axe, followed by a bunch of camera crew members. Without saying a word, they entered the China TV backyard and slashed at the bamboos!
The speed was quite fast, and it was knocked down in a few minutes.
My colleagues in the past were stunned.
"What is this for?"
“Where did it come from?”
"Isn't that person not Director Zhao from the Literary Channel?"
"That's Director Deng from the Documentary Channel? Is there a camera that follows? Where is this?"
The colleagues who were not sure were stunned.
Director Zhao and the others didn't care about this now, "Teacher Ye, is that enough?"
Ye Luo nodded, "There are too many."
“???”
Mr. Zhao and the others are really irritated.
The cameraman couldn't help laughing.
...
After a few days of messy troubles, I finally got the materials to make the brush.
The next production process requires Ye Luo to come by himself.
However, Ye Luo did not let Director Zhao and the others be idle, and arranged for them to collect the materials needed to make paper, ink, and inkstone. These things are used more than making brushes! They are busy for a while.
The camera crew was also divided into two groups, one on Ye Luo's side, and the other group specifically followed Director Zhao and Director Deng.
To be honest, Director Zhao and Director Deng really didn’t expect that they would become subjects while they were mixed!
I promised to take Ye Luo! As a result, I was so crazy about it!
But they had no choice. Teacher Ye, the host, ended up in person, so what else do they have to say?
...
In a small courtyard found by the program team, Ye Luo was making a brush step by step according to the memories in his mind.
Although the brush has a simple structure, it takes at least a dozen processes to make a brush of reasonable quality.
The collected wool is first passed through water, soaked, and then cut it into a moderate length, and then degreased with lime water. Next, we will reach the most critical hair selection process. The leaves fall from these wools and choose the most suitable hair for making the pen tip. This step can be said to be the most critical step in making a brush.
The hair you choose must be smooth and flawless, which is the most test of the craftsman's eyesight and experience.
Although Ye Luo had Song Yingxing’s memory in his mind, in practice, he was completely different from talking about paper!
If you want to watch the documentary, you will make a brush?
That's unrealistic!
That is, Ye Luo really dares to take action, and remembering this thing is somewhat useful. According to the process, it can be considered as a barely doing it.
But to say how good it is, it is nonsense.
Next, Ye Luo followed the steps and did whatever he should do.
Arrange the selected wool layer by layer, then remove the unqualified hair again, and then steam and further remove the grease. Then you can tie the pen tips you have found again and dry them. After drying, you also need to iron the tail of the pen tip with a soldering iron. This step is quite critical. If you accidentally use too much force, all your previous work will be in vain.
This step is extremely careful when the leaf falls. After the pen tip is made, you can load the rod.
The pen holder here uses bamboo to fall from the leaves, which is quite easy to open.
