Mend the pot, mend the pot;
Every time the tinkerer shouts at the top of his voice;
The children in the alley moved with their own iron pots and aluminum pots.
The tinkerer's withered hands took over the broken copper and iron;
Ding-jingle is a knock;
Pay the money with one hand, and take the things with the other;
The old tinker is another round of shouting.
Time is passing, and the old business is dying.
The following old trades are rarely seen.
There are some shavers in the older generation, and they are all famous in ten miles and eight towns.
Most shavers have been doing their craft since childhood;
With a razor in hand, he traveled north and south, although he didn't earn much, but he was extremely respected.
Whenever a guest comes to the door, the shaver takes out a stool, takes out a toolbox, and prepares a basin of hot water.
Thus began the shaving of the head.
As the blade slowly walked by, more and more hair fell on the ground.
The guest picked up the mirror and looked at it, hey, this is really a good craft.
Nowadays, there are five or six barbershops on one street, and ** is surprisingly high.
And the shaver is almost nowhere to be seen.
Most of the quilts that people built before were cotton quilts;
Cotton is expensive, and most people are reluctant to buy it.
In order to survive a warm winter, people will choose to grow cotton.
Cotton is planted in the ground and takes several months to grow.
When the cotton is finished, my mother will go to the master who plays the cotton.
The cotton that has been played is warm and fluffy, and my heart is warm when I lie down.
When the quilt is old, the cotton is stiff;
The mother would ask the master to play again
Cotton is once again springing, no different from new.
It's a pity that there are not many people who can play cotton nowadays.
Every winter, there is a loud "bang" in the village;
The kids knew the popcorn maker was coming.
The adults hurried to prepare the fire and corn kernels;
Listening to the sound, I found the popcorn maker;
Popcorn makers are most popular with small children.
As the gourd-shaped popcorn machine gets hotter and hotter;
I saw the popcorn maker's hands move and his feet stepped on;
A pot of sweet and fluffy popcorn is baked;
The children rushed up, and everyone scrambled to put it in their pockets.
The adults were smiling and couldn't help but taste it.
And the popcorn master has also become an old angel in the hearts of children.
In the 70s, there was a watch that was a symbol of status and status;
Watchmakers are all masters in people's hearts.
Repairing watches is a meticulous job, and they will be accurate to the minute;
This is based on years of experience.
If you are not careful, a watch may be scrapped.
That's why every watch repairer is extremely responsible;
People are *** them too.
Nowadays, the average watch** is not high;
If it's broken, there is also a consensus to buy another piece;
And this craft has gradually disappeared in the long river of history.
A few decades ago, cobblers were common.
At that time, people did not have the concept of throwing it away when it was broken;
As long as the shoes are worn or the soles are broken;
Many people will choose to get it done.
Cobblers tend to stay in a small corner of the alley.
Wear a hat on your head and an apron in front of you.
Around him were rows of shoes ready to be repaired.
There is also a treasure chest full of tools next to it.
After a beating by the shoemaker, the old shoes were also renewed
The cobbler said yes, and the customer took out two or three dollars.
And they used their thin bodies.
Sewn up the small happiness of the people of ten miles and eight towns.
The Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month;
The lantern-tying master has been busy for a while.
When I was a child, most of the lanterns were framed with bamboo;
Then paste paper of various colors on it;
There is a small plank underneath the lantern;
You can put candles on it;
Add a long bamboo pole and the lantern is ready.
Later, there were plastic lanterns, and when the switch was turned on, it would be released.
The kids had never seen anything like it;
When a person has such a lantern, a group of small children will gather around to watch.
Their eyes sparkled, and they all wanted to have fun.
Nowadays, paper lanterns are gradually becoming unpopular, and the craft of tying lanterns has gradually been lost.
Engraving is a technical work;
It is not only necessary to test the calligraphy skills of the engraving master;
The requirements for the skills of the engraving master are also extremely high.
No one should disturb you when engraving;
If you don't pay attention, the whole seal is ruined.
Generally, it takes several days for the master to carve out a piece.
Nowadays, this craft is gradually being replaced by machines;
Seals can be mass-produced.
The master of engraving is gradually getting old.
The craft is also gradually going downhill.
In my memory, there are often people in the alley shouting to sharpen scissors and kitchen knives.
There are no tools at home, and the scissors are no longer sharp after a long time.
The kitchen knife at home is usually used to chop a bone or something.
After a long time, even cutting vegetables became a problem.
Because of this, people will choose to take a kitchen knife to the master to sharpen it;
The master took out professional tools;
Polishing the scissors and kitchen knives in one piece;
The sharpened kitchen knife is extremely sharp;
The blade shimmered silver in the sunlight.
Nowadays, there are various styles of knives, ceramic and plastic abound;
This profession is no longer popular.
Many years ago, those who could use a fountain pen were considered literati;
Fountain pens** are extremely expensive, and many people cannot afford them.
That's why it's important to have a pen;
People take great pains to maintain and love.
But after a pen has been used for a long time, there will still be large and small problems.
I can't afford to buy a new one at all;
Because of this, people will choose to let the master of the pen repair repair repair.
The master has a lot of research on fountain pens;
The large box contains a wide variety of pen parts and gadgets;
After a stroke of operation by the pen master;
The pen will be able to write again.
In addition to this, the master will also carve some simple patterns.
As long as the customer asks for it, then they will engrave the pattern on it.
Nowadays, there are so many pens on the market that most people don't choose a fountain pen to write
The craft is also gradually lost.
If there was one of the most talked about professions in the past, it was the midwife;
At that time, the medical conditions were quite underdeveloped, and it was very troublesome to go to the hospital.
Many people choose to deliver babies at home, and midwives are born as a result.
Generally speaking, people tend to choose experienced midwives.
But because of the harsh conditions, and the items are not sterilized;
Midwives have limited conditions, and there are many accidents.
The children and adults are happy and safe;
If there is an accident, then it is a smashing of your own signboard.
Nowadays, going to the hospital to deliver babies has also become people's first choice.
Pregnant women don't have to suffer so much anymore.
From ancient times to the present, people hate people who are short of pounds and short of pounds and are not sincere.
And the nail scaler has also become a bridge between the buyer and the seller.
The step of making a scale is extremely cumbersome.
The nail scaler also has to take repeated measurements.
If the price of the sale is not accurate, then the reputation of the nail scalemaker will be rotten.
The nail scalemaker must be careful first of all, and he must not be sloppy in his handiwork.
Nowadays, the scales on the market are dazzling.
The work of a nail scalemaker was gradually replaced by a cold machine.
In the past, every household would have several bamboo baskets.
In order to support their families, many people will also choose to weave bamboo baskets to sell.
The first thing you need to weave a bamboo basket is bamboo;
After the craftsman cuts the bamboo back, he will split it into slices, and the size and thickness of the slices are required
Then they went around in circles and braided them one by one into a bamboo basket.
The process is complicated, and it takes several days to weave a bamboo basket in the whole process.
The previous bamboo basket *** will not collapse when you put heavy things.
Sometimes people choose to bring a bamboo basket when they go to the field to choose vegetables.
Even when you go out to catch the market, the bamboo basket will be the first choice.
Nowadays, people also choose to use plastic bags after shopping.
Some *** have strong bearing capacity, and some are of poor quality and rot before they can be mentioned home.
This craft has gradually been lost, and masters of weaving bamboo baskets are rare.
In addition, there are many old trades in China that are slowly disappearing;
Among them, there are many intangible cultural heritage that will face the scene of no successor.
Such as paper flowers, sugar sculpture, dough sculpture, shadow puppetry, etc.;
The departure of these old professions is also a wake-up call for us
They adapt to the changes of the times and live forever in people's memories.
But surely, they are witnesses of an era;
They also sincerely hope that the country's development will get better and better.
