Chapter 1125: Home of the World's Ultra-Short Skirts~ Here We Come!!

In the livestream's camera frame.

A signboard reading 'Home of the World's Ultra-Short Skirts' appeared in the distance.

Obviously.

This was just a small sign, similar in function to a road marker.

Moreover~

Qin Feng had mentioned earlier that the Miao branch had undergone several thousand years of evolution.

By now it had already developed into hundreds or even thousands of sub-branches.

Therefore—

The customs, attire, and modes of living and production of each Miao gathering place.

Were all slightly different.

--【Good lord! There's really a place called 'Home of the World's Ultra-Short Skirts'? Before this I thought it was a joke.】

--【It really is. I didn't believe it before either, but I just searched it on the digital map—it's real!】

--【I was already looking forward to it, but now... now I'm even more excited! (manual dog-head)】

--【Quick quick quick~ charge charge charge~ the four-wheel warriors are on the move~】

--【Wrong channel, buddy~】

The young couple drove all the way, following the meeting spot they had agreed on earlier.

They successfully met Master Yang, the Miao silver forging artisan they had failed to meet back in Songxi. After Master Yang met the young couple.

Upon hearing that the documentary Qin Feng was filming.

Would be broadcast on the CNTV9 documentary channel.

Therefore, regarding the young couple's desire to personally experience Miao silver jewelry forging.

He was extremely invested in it!

Although compared to the other ethnic minorities of Huaxia.

The Miao could be considered a relatively 'well-known' ethnic group.

Its population and the spread of its ethnic culture.

Were relatively much broader than those of other ethnic minorities.

But even so.

People's understanding of Miao territory.

Was limited to the fact that they wore silver ornaments.

And that during festivals they would sound the ancient music of the lusheng.

And because legend had it they were descendants of Chiyou.

Therefore, they held a relatively strong reverence for cattle.

Beyond that.

Ordinary viewers' understanding of Miao territory could be said to be relatively one-sided. Master Yang said with a smile to Qin Feng:

"It's rare to have a young fellow willing to come film our old crafts."

"If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me."

"Whatever I can teach, I will definitely teach you!"

Master Yang continued: "And... this Miao silver forging craft isn't all that delicate a job."

"Apart from jewelry for special parts, which requires meticulous work,"

"Everything else just comes down to practice makes perfect."

Master Yang was not wearing traditional Miao attire.

Just like many Miao people.

Apart from grand festivals.

No one would wear ethnic clothing all day long while working.

That would be quite a hassle~

Master Yang was very easygoing, and spoke with great cheerfulness.

His Mandarin was very standard, and he was relatively modest.

Regarding the craft of Miao silver jewelry forging.

He also didn't explain it in any overly profound way.

But whether it was Qin Feng and the young couple Reba.

Or the viewers in the livestream room.

Everyone knew the old master was definitely being modest!

Huaxia's heritage of craftsmanship is like a sky full of stars—too many to count.

Any craft, if one wishes to reach the point of absolute mastery.

Must necessarily require a certain level of attainment.

Even bamboo weaving, which looks very simple from the outside.

The processing of the bamboo material alone is enough to stump a large portion of the clumsy.

Therefore!

Traditional crafts are the ones with absolutely no shortcuts.

Just as Master Yang had said earlier.

It all comes down to practice makes perfect!

Without years of accumulated skill, it is impossible to handle it within a hair's breadth.

To forge the Miao silver flower crown so brilliantly and beautifully!

The old man is about fifty, nearing sixty years of age.

He looks full of energy.

But perhaps because he has long dealt with flame-melted silver.

His hands are somewhat rough; one can see at a glance he is an old craftsman with real skill!

With the development of information dissemination speed in the internet age.

Many so-called "masters."

Whether they actually possess true skill remains very doubtful.

If a blacksmith.

Has extremely delicate hands and well-maintained skin.

Then nine times out of ten, he is a fake master!

Master Yang is a humble man.

And he speaks very modestly.

Regarding Qin Feng and Reba, the young couple, who wanted to personally experience the forging of Miao silver flower jewelry.

The old man was eager to impart everything he knew!

Qin Feng smiled and replied, "Master Yang, you are being too modest. As far as I know, even the forging of the simplest Miao silver flower jewelry."

"Without three to five years, it cannot be mastered."

What Qin Feng said was not false at all.

The forging of silver ornaments, on one hand, is about judging the material.

Which in turn directly affects the control of the fire.

At what temperature can silver be melted into a relatively easy-to-shape form.

For a craftsman, this is a severe test of basic skills.
