Chapter 220: We can’t let the inheritance be cut off!!!
Under the curiosity of water friends.
Master Wang soon took Chu Qian to a workshop.
There are many stoves and iron rods in the middle of the workshop.
There is a red-hot unknown material on the tip of the stick.
I don’t know what it does.
The old masters beside the stove are holding iron rods.
Put the iron rod into the stove and burn it.
Master Wang introduced this to Chu Qian and the water friends in the live broadcast room.
"This is our creative workshop, and inside is the calcining furnace..."
Chu Qian nodded.
Seeing the situation inside, I couldn't help but exclaimed.
"How amazing!"
She turned around and looked at the water friends in the live broadcast room.
"Boys, now you know what they are doing?"
The water friends in the live broadcast room immediately started discussing.
"Seeing that they are firing, are they trying to make porcelain or metal... It feels so magical!"
"Isn't this iron rod hot to the touch? These masters are so brave. It makes me feel hot just looking at it. I can't imagine how hard it must be for them to be so close and in such a hot weather!"
"This thing wants to cut corners, and it's not good for sneaking and sneaking, it's all technical work..."
"Could he be a gourd maker? I think the shape of the head of the iron rod looks a bit like a gourd..."
"Why didn't you say it was Calabash Baby?"
"There are all kinds of colors in it, and they look really good..."
"It feels like it must be some kind of handicraft or work of art. Just looking at the surface, I think it's not simple. I don't know how beautiful the finished product will be!"
"..."
Chu Qian focused her camera on the colorful thing at the tip of the iron rod.
The sticky-looking liquid is being continuously calcined by the masters.
Form into various colors and gradually take shape!
Sometimes it becomes an oval, sometimes it becomes a square.
But I just can’t figure out what this is doing.
Water friends were curious for a while.
Master Wang introduced it to Chu Qian.
"We are all master craftsmen with more than 10 years of experience here! They are all very skilled!"
Chu Qian is a little curious.
"Are there no young people here? Why don't we see any apprentices?"
Master Wang sighed.
"Our generation has a problem that we have to face. No young people are willing to learn this industry!"
"As you can see, it's such a hot day without even a fan. It's really hard and tiring. Young people nowadays are so squeamish that they can't hold on any longer!"
Chu Qian nodded.
"The environment is indeed difficult, and young people who have never experienced hardship may find it difficult to persevere."
Nowadays, many non-cultural heritages are facing a problem.
It’s a legacy that lasts forever.
There are two main problems.
One is talent. These technical jobs are often very demanding.
Especially for opera and the like, you should start practicing it from an early age.
Just like national athletes, they need to go through layers of selection.
Look at your figure, look at your speech, all qualities must be possessed, only then can you join the inheritance of intangible cultural heritage.
That’s all.
The key is that their working conditions are still very difficult.
Just like this calcining plant, the temperature inside is over 40 degrees.
If people stay here for a long time, they are likely to face problems such as heat stroke.
It may be dangerous if the camera is too close and it will not work.
This is still a master who has adapted.
An ordinary apprentice would probably shrink back just by seeing this condition.
And from apprenticeship to various processes.
Just learning the core skills requires a long process.
The most important thing is that there is almost no income in the early stage.
It is estimated that very few people can persist under such conditions.
The water friends in the live broadcast room also started discussing.
"What's so difficult about this? Just give me 5,000 and I'll do it!"
"You are thinking too much and didn't notice that our Da Qianqian was sweating not long after we entered!"
"Forget it if it's hot, and if you lift a big iron bar all day long, it's not light at first glance. It's probably at least twenty pounds. When a newcomer comes, he can't even lift the bar, so he needs to be a hammer!"
"It is indeed difficult. We young people are not afraid of hardship, but we just love and need to face the real demand for bread..."
"It's too difficult. It takes at least 5 years to learn how to learn it. If you don't have the time, it's better to join a factory..."
"..."
Master Wang continues to introduce.
"The temperature of our furnace is about 1300-1400 degrees. The furnace inside is called the raw material furnace, which we use to process raw materials..."
As soon as Chu Qian got closer, she immediately felt a burst of high temperature.
Just standing ten meters away, the temperature is close to 40 degrees.
It’s hard to imagine how high the core temperature is.
"It's not easy. Is there anyone injured in your line of work?"
A slightly younger master next to him just walked out holding an iron bar.
He rushed to Chu Qian and replied.
"There are too many. In our line of work, there is no one here who has not been injured!"
"When I did it before, I made a mistake..."
"I accidentally touched the hot water, and the skin and meat were cooked immediately. I could smell the aroma of meat..."
"The whole skin was rolled up, and I just peeled it off..."
When the little brother said this, his expression was full of pain and he opened his sleeves.
Sure enough, I found a palm-sized burn inside.
It is still covered with all kinds of red bloodshot and dents.
This shows how terrifying the situation was when he was burned.
The water friends and Chu Qian who watched it were a little shocked.
"Oh my god, this is too scary. I can't do anything even if you give me 5,000. I'm risking my own life..."
"When a ladle of scalding water was poured down, people disappeared immediately. No wonder no one is doing it now. Who can withstand this?"
"But what exactly is this? Tell me, how much does it cost to make something they put so much effort into!"
"I feel that this is completely in the category of art, and selling it for four figures is not too much!"
"I think it's less, it's so troublesome, and it's completely acceptable to sell it for a small one. After all, things are rare and valuable..."
"I can't do it anyway, I'm scared just by looking at it..."
"..."
Later, Chu Qian interviewed some employees.
A senior chef wearing red clothes and short sleeves also raised his arms and said.
"Look at my large red area, which was tested because it was too close to the stove!"
"There are still many scars on the body!"
Another chef next to the stove also came up to talk.
"In our line of work, even masters are often injured. Small scratches and burns are nothing to us. We are used to it!"
When we in the live broadcast room received this scene, we immediately started talking about it.
"It's so scary. The last time I was burned, I even took off the skin. It was so painful!"
"These are master-level figures, and I admire their spirit!"
"It is not easy to pass on culture, and it deserves everyone's respect!"
"Oh, I really don't want these inheritances to be cut off, but we can't help it!"
"Chu Qian, please help promote it more and see if you can find a successor!"
