Zhao Jiafeng, a 69 year old cobbler, is making a gag with two elderly people under the hood of P.

Zhao Jiafeng's hands, full of calluses, are skillfully tinkering with the already ripe leather.

"From my grandfather's generation, I began to make leather goods at home, and when I came to my father's generation, I bought this old house."

"Poor families can not afford to wear fur, but they need many saddle harnesses and saddles, so they have to come to our Zhao family shop."

At that time, fur, leather harness and saddle were 3 different kinds of jobs. They could be picked up by their ancestors, or they would be laughed at.

Zhao Jiakao's family skills can only be based on the ancient city of Fuzhou.

< p > traditional leather processing is a dirty and tiring job.

A piece of raw skin that has not dried blood is taken. First, soak in a clear water tank for one or two days, then fish out the flesh and blood that is attached to it, and call it "water table". Next, comb the hair surface, and then immerse it in the medicine cylinder for half a month.

< p > Zhao Jia Feng, when he was three or four years old, looked at Grandpa and his father's skin and skin in PI PU. He began to work as a apprentice for more than 10 years from his father.

"According to the ancestral rules, the eldest son must do this job. If he does not learn, he will be beaten, and then he will be expelled from his home."

Zhao Jiafeng said that when he was 16 years old, he formally went out to run a shop with his father.

Since entering the line, Zhao Jiafeng was carrying a large leather shovel, small shovel, chipper and slider hook in his arms, and went to the East family for a string of western families. For decades, the number of saddles and fur coats made by himself was countless.

< p > over the past 30 years, more and more mechanized production in rural areas has sharply reduced the demand for saddles and saddles, or even completely disappeared.

Zhao Jiafeng had a sense of crisis, but he refused to switch to anything else.

"Old people, guarding the old shop, have a good life."

Instead of looking around, he hung up the notice on the door to buy leather.

"Sons and grandchildren will be skilled in making leather and making leather, but young people can stand up to the cold and do what they want to do."

"The skills handed down by Zhao family can not be handed down from abroad, but I can not see this traditional skill being left behind.

If you eat this pain, you will be able to come to this craft if you eat anything.

Zhao Jiafeng said.
