Chapter 6: Understand, understand a little
When Zhao Shucheng saw Xie Zhiyao nodded and said, "In fact, hand-made carvings are facing the challenge of mechanical carvings, which is a crisis and an opportunity."
Seeing Xie Zhiyao looking at him, he said, "Actually, this is very simple. Machine carving is equivalent to an industrially produced product. Although the quality will not be bad, it will not be very good. Just like clothes, there are miscellaneous brands of clothes produced by small factories, as well as domestic mid- and low-end brands of clothes, high-end brands of luxury clothes, and private customizations of luxury goods."
"Machine carving is equivalent to industrial products. Although the goods are cheap and beautiful, they cannot reach the level. Hand-made carving is like private customization. You can place an order online and then create it. In fact, we can refer to some brands' practices. Whether abroad or domestic, there are many niche luxury brands. If this wood carving store can really be built into such a niche luxury brand, then the future benefits will be limitless."
"I have never thought about what you said. This is indeed a solution, but it is a bit difficult."
"If it is not difficult, wood carving will not decline more and more. Instead, machine carving is becoming more and more popular. The main reason is that the positioning is wrong from the beginning. Competing with machines can only bring shame on yourself. Machine carving can carve the same wood prints dozens or even hundreds of yuan a day, while hand carving may not be able to make one piece in a day. So this is something of different value. Instead, we compete with machine carving, so it is naturally difficult to have any chance of winning. But if we build a brand or even open a private customization service, the effect will be different at that time."
"For example, we can live broadcast the production process of customized wood carvings by customers throughout the whole process, and attach relevant certificates and the like, which will make it more stylish and eventually become a luxury item in the carving, and repositioning..."
Zhao Shucheng and Xie Zhiyao began to talk about this issue, which made Xu Hongdou, who was eating, curious about what Zhao Shucheng did before.
After dinner, when they saw that the two of them didn't seem to stop, Xu Hongdou looked at the time and walked to the yard to call his family to report their safety.
Zhao Shucheng accidentally turned around and didn't see Xu Hongdou. After searching for a while, he saw Xu Hongdou standing outside on the phone. He said, "Okay, I'll give you the idea. For the specific execution and planning in the future, you will have to come by yourself."
"Okay, by the way, I heard you have said before that you have also studied wood carvings. Otherwise, you can go to the store to have a look and talk with Master Xie?"
After hearing this, Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Let's talk about it, let's talk about it! Hongdou, it's getting late, let's go back."
"OK!"
When Zhao Shucheng and Xu Hongdou returned to Youfeng Garden, they saw the tenants gathered in the yard to chat.
Maqiushan said: "This night, especially around the hour of Hai, drinking a little bit of black tea will help the peristalsis of the stomach and intestines..."
At this time, Hu Youyu came back with his guitar on his back and shouted directly: "Nana, I brought you food, where are the new tenants?"
Nana said, "I haven't come back yet!"
"No, it's dark in the middle of the night. Can they go there? What do you think this little couple is traveling here? It's not a wedding and honeymoon?"
"No, I heard from Sister Xiaochun that they met by chance, and they were not lovers at all."
"Tsk, it wasn't before, it doesn't mean it's not afterwards. You see, since the two of them went out together at noon, they haven't come back yet, and neither of them has come back. This is obviously a situation."
Hu Youyu looked upstairs and said, "I see that the lights in Dabae's room are still on, so I'll ask her to come down for dinner."
"Don't go, Damai is writing the article, and he doesn't want to be disturbed."
Hu Youyu said, "It's his business whether he comes or not, it's mine if he doesn't call him."
Nana said, "She doesn't like to join in the fun. Don't always put burdens on people, okay?"
"Look, why did my hospitality make me wrong?"
While talking, Zhao Shucheng and Xu Hongdou came back. Seeing that basically all the tenants were there, they smiled and said, "Hello, you guys, we are having a party in the yard. I am Zhao Shucheng, the new tenant today. We will be in the same yard from now on, so please take care of you."
Xu Hongdou also said, "Hello, I am Xu Hongdou, the tenant of Room No. 6, right upstairs."
"Hello! I am Maqiushan!" Maqiushan, who had been meditating in the yard before, nodded and said.
"I am Hu Youyu, just call me Lao Hu. This one is..."
Nana raised her hand and said, "Nana!"
"Oh, hello, Nana!" Xu Hongdou felt much more friendly when she saw that there was a girl, at least there was someone to chat with.
Hu Youyu said, "We are going to have a meal. You haven't eaten yet, let's have something together?"
"Thank you, but no need, we have eaten at Xie Zhiyao's house."
Hearing Zhao Shucheng say this, several others looked at Zhao Shucheng and Xu Hongdou with curiosity in their eyes. Hu Youyu even asked, "Where did he eat it? Do you know him?"
"I'm a friend. I've met you before in Beijing. By the way, do you have to gather in the yard every day?"
"That's not, everyone basically eats together when they eat. Of course, it's okay if they eat by themselves." Hu Youyu said as he opened a can of beer and said, "You are just right, we are treating you!"
Seeing Hu Youyu so enthusiastic, Xu Hongdou said unstoppably: "What, the things in my room have not been collected yet, I have to go up and collect them first."
When Hu Youyu heard Xu Hongdou say this, he could only look at Zhao Shucheng and say, "Then old Zhao, you..."
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "I have nothing to do, so I can sit down and chat. By the way, why are there only three of you and there is one tenant we haven't seen?"
"You said Dabae, she is rushing for manuscripts in the house, and she won't come down to eat it. You will see her another day, she is also a beauty."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! "Is that right? By the way, this Maqiu Shanma teacher who meditated before, are you doing Taoist health preservation, or Buddhist, or just playing?"
“Health preservation!”
Zhao Shucheng saw the other party's eyes open and then closed, motionless, and said with a smile: "Do you want to have something together?"
"Don't eat after noon!"
Zhao Shucheng nodded after hearing this and said, "I understand, it's from Buddhism."
After hearing this, Maqiushan opened his eyes and looked at Zhao Shucheng, saying, "Why is it Buddhist?"
"Don't you know? Not eating after noon is originally the precepts set by the Buddha for monks. Buddhism believes that the morning is the time for the heavenly food, that is, the time for the heavenly food; the time for the Buddhas and Tathagata in the three ages; the time for the evening is the time for animals to eat; the time for the evening is the time for the ghosts and gods to eat. At the beginning, it is said that you cannot eat outside the prescribed time, usually from noon to dawn the next day."
Seeing Maqiushan’s a little excited, Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, “Of course, not eating after noon is also a Chinese medicine health care method. In fact, this makes sense. After all, the Chinese medicine health care theory believes that according to yin and yang, the human body’s biological clock is adjusted according to the changes of sunlight. The sun is the strongest at noon, and the human body’s yang energy is the most vigorous at this time. If you eat too much at this time, it will cause the body’s yang energy to be consumed too much, which will make the body weak. Therefore, it is recommended to eat in moderation at noon and not eat after noon.”
Maqiushan put away his lazy expression, sat up instead, looked at Zhao Shucheng and said, "Do you still understand this?"
"I understand a little, and I understand a little, just read books on Chinese medicine health care occasionally and get a little bit of it. However, although not eating after lunch can reduce the burden on the stomach and intestines, it can also help digestion and absorption, preserve the yang energy in the body, allow the body to have better rest and recovery, and prevent diseases, it also depends on the situation."
Maqiushan said seriously: "Please give me some advice!"
"I dare not give advice, so I will discuss it. The balance of yin and yang is alternating. Although not eating after noon is indeed a health preservation, it is necessary to distinguish between people and situations. If people do not exercise or work after noon, they can naturally not eat after noon. However, if you need to do a lot of exercise or work, or even drink and smoke, it is inappropriate. After all, the energy consumed by your exercise does not disappear out of thin air, but the loss of yang energy. If you cannot replenish it in time, it will cause an imbalance of yin and yang and eventually harm your body."
"Great insight, high insight!"
Xu Hongdou actually heard Zhao Shucheng's words upstairs, and she thought Zhao Shucheng was so interesting.
After contacting this day, Zhao Shucheng was almost a person who knew astronomy, geography, and everything. He could talk about business management and brand operations with Xie Zhiyao, and he could talk about traditional Chinese medicine health care with Maqiushan when he came back, and even now he discussed music creation with Hu Youyu.
Zhao Shucheng chatted with them for a while before going upstairs to go back to the room to rest. However, when he passed by Xu Hongdou's door, he thought for a while and went back to the room first. After a while, he came to Xu Hongdou's door with something and knocked on the door.
Xu Hongdou heard the knock on the door and Zhao Shucheng's voice. Then she opened the door and asked, "Are you looking for me?"
Zhao Shucheng nodded, threw something to Xu Hongdou casually, and said, "I gave it to you!"
Xu Hongdou hurriedly caught it, looked at it and found that it was a sachet, smelled some herbal smell, and asked, "What are you giving me this? You didn't want me to learn health care too, right?"
"What health preservation is? The environment here is good, there are many flowers, plants and trees, but there are naturally not few mosquitoes. This is the sachet I have configured, which has the effect of repelling mosquitoes. It is pure natural Chinese herbal medicine, which tastes fresh and not pungent, and is harmless to the body."
Xu Hongdou realized after hearing this, and smiled and said, "Thank you, I really haven't thought about the question you mentioned."
