The outside structure of the house is made according to the movie, but the interior layout and interior are both created by Thuy and Quynh Nhu. The ideation process for the house took up to 3 months, including many revisions and discussions. “The overall model consists of 1 ground floor and 3 floors. The ground floor has a living room, a kitchen and a working area. The upper 3 floors include 4 bedrooms, 1 bathroom and an attic. In the Harry Potter movies and books, there is not much information about the layout of the rooms in the house, except for the attic. So I had to build the internal structure to match and be consistent with the outside architecture,” said Hong Thuy. Every little detail is meticulously and skillfully done by the two girls. Every detail in the house is meticulously calculated by Hong Thuy and Quynh Nhu. The couple included ruffled chairs, unwashed pans in pots and moss clinging to the tile floor.

The roof is made of bricks and tiles that I made myself,” said Hong Thuy. Every tiny item in the house is made by the two girls. After 10 months, the Grave Farm model was completed and the two girls breathed a sigh of relief. Hong Thuy said that because of perfectionism, there are many details in the finished house that are still added by the two girls to be more beautiful.

Currently, the model of the house of the Weasley family has been sent to the customer. Hong Thuy refused to disclose the selling price, only revealing that the amount was not small. “I would like to keep the price secret, which is quite high. I do not dare to expect many customers who are passionate enough to order a second The Burrow miniature. Because in Vietnam, this hobby is not popular. My customers have very positive feedback about this model,” said Hong Thuy. Work is only for the patient Besides the model of Hang Soc farm, Hong Thuy and Quynh Nhu have made many other miniature models.

Making a miniature model is not easy, making it beautiful is even more difficult. Someone said that to become a model maker perhaps requires ingenuity, but Hong Thuy denied. She said that the most important thing is to be patient. “Persistence is the most important quality when it comes to modeling. Many people are good with their hands, but they don’t have the perseverance to make a work from start to finish. The second quality is the ability to estimate. Even with imagination, everything can go wrong. So you have to estimate yourself to be able to make that detail accurately. The third quality is the aesthetic ability in arrangement and color selection. Not just making meticulous details, putting them side by side will be beautiful,” said Hong Thuy. Currently, Hong Thuy and Quynh Nhu’s Hang Soc farm model is still receiving many compliments from the online community.

A fresh batch of baguettes From the countryside to the city, the long bread made by hand is a familiar image in the daily life of the French people. The baguette has also been a creative inspiration for many artists and has gone into many works of art. From a foreign perspective, when it comes to France, in terms of cuisine, the baguette is probably one of the most intimate and simple symbols, next to countless types of wine, champagne or cheese. So when did baguettes in France come from? According to historian Steven Kaplan, up to now, in France, there are usually three anecdotes about the origin of baguette bread. It is said by many that the long bread was invented by the bakers of Emperor Napoleon in the early 19th century. Lighter and less bulky than the earlier round loaf, the long loaves were easily carried by soldiers. people. In another anecdote, baguettes originated in Austria and were brought to France by a Viennese baker named August Zang in 1839, and were originally sold in Paris as ovals. And finally, the baguette was invented on the Paris subway site in the 1900s, a time when workers from all over France flocked here, and there were often fights between Brittany and regional workers. Auvergne. To prevent workers from stabbing each other with knives, contractors are said to have asked bakers to make loaves of bread that are easy to break by hand rather than using a knife. However, those are just oral anecdotes. Historian Steven Kaplan asserts that the traditional baguette originated in the 20th century, stemming from a change in the dietary needs of urban people. The affluent class living in urban areas wanted to eat fresh bread many times a day, while the big, round breads weighing 1.2-2kg at that time were too big, they had to eat a few meals to finish. Moreover, people also prefer to eat the crust rather than the inside. For centuries before that, bread was made with sourdough, obtained by the natural fermentation of bacteria found in wheat. For the workers, the process of making cakes is very hard work. Steven Kaplan recounted, the baker at that time was likened to a “white miner”, working all night. Many consider it inhumane to let bakers work in such conditions, leading to a movement to find ways to reduce their hardship. By 1919, France had a law banning bakers from working at night. Therefore, the craftsmen have come up with a simpler way to make bread and shape the long, thin baguette to bake the cake faster. And so the baguette was born. According to the National Federation of French Bakery and Pastry Shops, 32,000 artisan bakeries with 180,000 employees earn about 11 billion EUR/year in revenue. However, the French Ministry of Culture said that the number of bakeries has dropped sharply in the past five decades due to competition from supermarkets with industrial, frozen bread. Many people hope that the French Ministry of Culture’s selection of baguettes to submit to UNESCO for nominations for the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity will contribute to preserving France’s artisanal bread production from the competition of the industrial production methods.

This nest is a gift that Mr. Huynh Trong Nghia – Thanh’s husband – spent a very long time building for his wife. Build a house according to your wife’s passion Since the age of 8, Ms. Thanh has been interested in wool and knitting. After many years of collecting, she has owned thousands of woolen rolls of all colors and materials. Ms. Thanh’s work also involves rolls of wool. She spends every day crocheting teddy bears, clothes or pictures. Her handmade products are often ordered by customers in advance, many times even sent abroad. Thousands of woolen rolls are decorated on the first floor of the house. 10 years of dating, 8 years of marriage, Mr. Nghia understands his wife’s passion. It was his wife’s love of wool that inspired Mr. Nghia to design a house for the couple. In August 2017, Mr. Nghia started calling workers to build the rough part of the house, including 1 ground floor, 1 mezzanine and 2 floors. At that time, the couple planned to complete the work in just over a year, the two would give birth to a baby and take the child home. “But the baby is now more than 1 year old, so we can live here,” Thanh said. White painted wooden shelves and cabinets highlight the vibrant colors of the wool rolls. The construction of the house lasted mainly because Mr. Nghia was careful and wanted to comply with his wife’s wishes. He first asked his wife what size furniture she wanted, then designed everything to fit into the overall space. Every decorative detail is rounded or molded, only Nghia made as meticulous as possible. Especially the chair that Ms. Thanh sits crocheting every day, Mr. Nghia studies carefully to match the height and recline of his wife. “My husband and I have experienced exactly 3 Tet holidays from the day we bought the land, and we didn’t have a house until October 2020. My friends tease me all the time ‘Oh Thanh, when will the house be finished’, ‘Can you come and play yet’ makes me laugh too. “Many people came to visit, complimented and asked about the architect’s design. I said that the whole house was conceived by Mr. Nghia himself, monitored the construction process, even… manually built the interior. But no one else. believe”, Ms. Thanh laughed when recounting. You pay attention to every little detail in the house. “I do everything for my wife” Not studying or working in the construction industry, but Mr. Nghia has an aesthetic taste and meticulous calculation. Talk to Zing Mr. Nghia said the house met about 80% of expectations. At first, he sketched the idea himself, then hired an architect to redraw it into a construction drawing. “There are specialized technical regulations that I couldn’t calculate at first, so I had to change later. If I want to do 100% of what I want, I don’t have money to do it anymore,” Mr. Nghia confided. The house took 3 years and 2 months to build and decorate. The biggest difficulty in the process of building a house is that the machining teams cannot make products according to his design. Some workers still quietly left, leaving many unfinished items. “My calculations are both from the couple’s hobbies and intentions. But the crews are only used to making things in an industrial style, then I have to fix a lot. But no matter how difficult it is, I still try to do it without changing the original intention,” Nghia said. Ms. Thanh has been passionate about wool and made crafts from wool since she was very young. The amount of money to build the rough part of the house is 800 million VND, the interior finishing is another 300 million VND. He thinks this cost is relatively economical. “Whoever comes to visit also says that making furniture will cost billions of dong, because this type of house is usually only available in villas. But my house only costs more than 300 million because most of it is for hire or self-build. All use plywood, cheap wood to close and paint white. Light colors both make the house brighter, highlight the wool rolls and hide the defects of the wood.” In the mezzanine and 2nd floor of the house, Mr. Nghia spends a lot of lovely dolls and a small room for his wife to organize workshops. In terms of costs, Mr. Nghia and Mrs. Thanh spent more than 1.1 billion VND to build their own house. However, that is not the biggest loss, because during the construction of the house, Ms. Thanh was pregnant and Mr. Nghia lost his job, both could not have a good source of income as before for 2 years. “I took time off to build a house too much, so I was fired. After quitting my job, every day I go from my parents’ house to my own house to pack my things, and only come home at 0:00 every day. My wife is very passionate, so I accept it. I do all of this for my wife,” Nghia smiled and said. Mr. Nghia and Ms. Thanh have had 10 years of dating and 8 years of marriage. Currently, they have 2 small children. When she moved to her new house, Ms. Thanh often invited her friends to play, drink tea and make crafts together. She also held a number of small workshops on the first floor to share her knitting experience. As for Mr. Nghia, he still struggles every day to find ways to decorate more furniture on the upper floors. He hopes to have enough money to fill the empty spaces with furniture, and his wife will have more room to display personal products.

Fish brought back is incubated with salt, sun dried. (Photo: Bich Ha-Thu Hoai / Vietnam +) Sa Chau village, Giao Chau commune, Giao Thuy district, Nam Dinh in the past is famous for its craft fish sauce traditional crafts. Not yet at the village gate, the smell of fishes rising and fragrant, jars and bottles of honey-colored fish sauce excite anyone passing by. The profession of making fish sauce in Giao Chau has been around for hundreds of years, originating Sa Chau village , the Catholic village of Sa Chau. Because the production is 100% by hand, the processing stage is extremely meticulous. The ingredients used are mainly scallop fish, pompano, and juvenile shrimp, which are still fresh, not chilled, not crushed, and must choose the time when the fish are the most fatty to process. People here divide the weather into two seasons, the dry season and the rainy season. The dry season is the production season, the middle time of the year, while the beginning and the end of the year rains a lot, they spend time to sell. Salt seeds are also selected meticulously, meticulously, the salt purchased in the last season of April to the end of May, the salt leaves any seeds into that grain, the white shade. In particular, salt needs to be in storage for more than a year before it can be used to get rid of its acrid taste. The recipe for making handmade sauce here is also more elaborate than in many other places. On average, each fish nest is marinated with 1.2-1.3kg of salt for six consecutive months to crush the fish completely, then pass the bamboo basket lined with cloth to squeeze out pure fish sauce. One stage in the process of making Sa Chau fish sauce. (Photo: Bich Ha-Thu Hoai / Vietnam +) Fish sauce is poured into thin aluminum plates, continued to be exposed to the sun so that white salt streaks float on the water surface. The fish sauce spread throughout the yard, sunlight shines through, the scent faintly. But because fish sauce cannot be sticky with water, people must cover it up carefully every day. The job of making fish sauce looks leisurely, but it is actually extremely hard. As long as the batch of marinated fish is not delicious, or to get caught in a rain, it will be considered as the effort of marinating the fish for months. Ms. Mai Thi Ty, a longtime fish sauce maker in the village, shared: “In the old days, when the elderly were hungry, the elderly made the fish sauce very salty, now we eat less salt, it is more difficult to preserve but the quality is still fragrant The traditional fish sauce in Sa Chau is only dried in the sun, not cooked, allowing the sun to slowly absorb the taste of heaven and earth. But making fish sauce is also very precarious, the fish cannot meet our needs, sometimes the fish is delicious but not sure to dry, or many families take the same batch of fish but have a good home. Partly fish, but also in the hands of people meticulously. Fish sauce each house has its own secret, not making superficiality, will reduce the prestige of the whole village. ” Currently, Sa Chau fish sauce is famous and supplied to many provinces across the country such as Dien Bien, Son La to southern provinces such as Ho Chi Minh City, Tay Ninh. Concerns with traditional jobs On average, one ton of mackerel can get 300 liters of fish sauce with a very dry formula. Sa Chau fish sauce also has many types, if it can be dried in the sun, the fish sauce is the most delicious, the price is stable, and if sun drying is not guaranteed, it must be sold at a cheaper price. Therefore, currently there are not many descendants’ class following the profession. That is also the concern of many people making sauces for many years. Ms. Nguyen Van Hai said that fish sauce here is made 100% by hand, through more stages, the filter is finished, dried, then dried again. If the fish sauce is semi-industrial, it will be finished with color, anti-rot. All flavors are natural, sun-dried to absorb from the outside into, naturally, the fish sauce is calming. When drying, it is necessary to be close to the sun, drying just enough 3 sun, but 4.5 sunshine will not fragrance anymore. Above all, making fish sauce depends on the weather, a little mistake is broken immediately, so it is so hard, children and grandchildren do not want to follow the profession. ” Sa Chau fish sauce is made 100% by hand, through many more steps, the filter is finished, dried, then dried again. (Photo: Bich Ha-Thu Hoai / Vietnam +) Sa Chau fish sauce, although famous, is facing the danger of fading. The number of customers who order mainly know through referrals, patrons or come to buy places by themselves. Many families also choose to work part-time jobs while waiting for fish sauce such as cooking wine, making shrimp paste, making tapioca flour and turmeric. This is also a way to have additional jobs while waiting for fish sauce, while earning additional income. Ms. Hai added: “My village fish sauce is bought by people by themselves, and my house doesn’t have any billboards. Now the most important is the need for young manpower. Now people follow on the mass media, I know but cannot transmit, cannot spread. Like me, despite having a reputation for making delicious fish sauce, the future has yet to find a successor. Currently, Sa Chau village has about 30 households producing and processing fish sauce, of which 10 are large-scale producers. The fish sauce production and processing households here are granted food safety certificates by the Sub-Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Nam Dinh province. The life of the people in the fish sauce village is hard, but everyone is familiar with the smell of sea fish sauce, everyone is enthusiastic about every drop of fish sauce, creating traditional values ​​that few places can get./.

Founder Vu Phuong Thuy at Duyen Boutique. In the beautiful space of Duyen Boutique, Ms. Vu Phuong Thuy introduces us passionately about each scarf. The scarf is used to make the charm, the scarf can be transformed into a shirt, the scarf in the hair and the framed scarf hanging on the wall like an art-décor … Each Duyen’s scarf is a story told in visual language distilled from the past, such as the picture “Peacock” by Hang Trong, “Ly Hope for the Moon” or “The Poison Pig” Kim Hoang … for traditional handicrafts a new life, both modern, close and luxurious, but also like a cultural business card. STARTING SOURCE OF QUALITY FROM THE PAST It is known that she used to have a long time working as a reporter, television editor. So why did you switch to a very different field of business? When entering the business path, I always have the thought of a journalist who has worked for many years in the field of culture. When I was a reporter at Hanoi Television and VTC Television, I had many opportunities to interact with traditional craftsmen, conveying topics about folk culture to the audience. I especially love the traditional culture of my country, and always want to spread that love to many people. So, whether as a reporter in the past, or as a business person today, I still think my best role is as a “storyteller”, just one way or another. So in the field of design – silk scarf business that you pursue, what story are you trying to tell? The quintessence of Vietnamese culture has always fascinated me. I noticed the generosity and generosity of the Vietnamese people there. That is not a glossy but remote beauty. Drawings in folk paintings, patterns, lines of pots and jars still hide the “rustic” but still delicate enough to feel warm, warm, close and very lively. That is the spirit I want to convey in Duyen silk scarves. In a nutshell, do you want to bring traditional culture into contemporary life through practical objects? But why is it a towel and not a clothes, a tie…? Take a look at my towels, do you see that it has its own style? I also often get asked why not expanding, adding other products to rich, easy to sell. Actually, it’s not about choosing what kind of product is right or what is wrong, nor is it that the business of one thing is right but the general business is wrong. But I want when people talk about silk scarf is to say Duyen, when it comes to me is Duyen. Founder Vu Phuong Thuy The quintessence of Vietnamese culture has always fascinated me. I noticed there the generosity and generosity of the Vietnamese. Drawings in folk paintings, patterns, lines of pots and jars still hide the “rustic” but still delicate enough to feel warm, warm, close and very lively. That is the spirit I want to convey in Duyen silk scarves. And so we have the “Love Story of Heritage and Creation Quintessence”, right? Because there is a brand slogan that has the element of “love story”, the brand name is named “Duyen”? I don’t know if the word Duyen has many meanings in other languages, but in Vietnamese, as you know, the word Duyen has many very nice meanings. I chose the word Duyen because, according to me, the feature of Duyen makes people more attached to it than pure beauty. As in folk paintings, the charm is already in the way of making, in color, in the meaning. We will be the knower of that past quintessence with today’s contemporary creation. The skill of the ancient artist will be matched by the fluttering of the artists of this era … SLOW SLOW IS THE WAY SUITABLE TO HIGH-CLASS PRODUCTS Did you go to a design or business school? Because if you want to embark on something, you have to understand it well … In today’s open age, in my opinion, we do not necessarily start with a certain skill of ourselves. What we need is values, is the core idea. And the right companions will help us go further. I can do 1 thing by myself, but with 1 more valuable companion, 2 people can not only do 2 and will be 3 – 4 things. In Duyen silk scarf segment, I am the person holding the spirit, the brand’s spirit, and the direction of development. And my companions help me realize the idea into a real product. How did you find a team with you to have a team of many different roles and components? My point is relevance is more important than an excellent profile. This is very suitable for small businesses, startups. My staff is small, but multitasking and flexible. Don’t wait for a complete apparatus to be built to get started. Also do not choose people with a high job position history but just choose to follow the correct job description, or set multiple conditions. Because we need companions, we need a team to go together, not a monumental business organization. What were the advantages and disadvantages of the first time in the business? Was Covid-19 a shock to you, when Duyen’s product – which is easily popular with international tourists – suffers from silence due to tourism freezing? Doing business in a field that is not new is a silk scarf is inevitable. But the way of walking slowly, taking care of the product, so that customers have time to feel, experience, love and stick with the brand is still the way that is suitable for a high-end product like Duyen. On the other hand, doing with silk, printing on silk, stitching by hand, are all very elaborate steps that are difficult to do. I had to pay for product testing quite a bit. The product did not print, printed many errors, even finished the product line and then recalled it because the trial was not satisfactory. Regarding customers, as you said, international customers are the right target for products with such cultural elements. Covid-19 has made the market quiet for more than a year, making its voice more easily heard. Europe is also an opportunity. But Duyen is first of all a fashion accessory. I believe that the number of domestic customers looking for a fashion product that embodies a well-liked lifestyle is also significant. And that is also the object of Duyen towels. A young businessman that I interviewed once said: trading cultural products is quite difficult, because there are many meticulous steps that I have to directly engage in, not simply. buying and selling an item for a profit. Therefore, if you want to start, you must first have enough passion … This is absolutely true. I very much share what the young businessman was concerned about. On the other hand, I think her and I both realize that products of cultural value, handmade products need to be carefully crafted and placed in the position of premium products. If we can produce products with a high content of brainpower, creativity and sophistication, then we and our customers are no longer in the position of sellers and buyers, but those who share the same beliefs. passion. If you can be described about your products, what are the factors you like most? 100% natural silk, hand-stitched, or painted from the past? What I am most proud of is the predestination of Duyen! We weren’t the first to make silk scarves. We’re not the first hand-stitched silk scarf brand. We’re also not the only place to put traditional motifs into our products. But look at each of our designs, see how we transform from past patterns, feel how we bring contemporary soul into our products, hear us tell the meaning of each scarf. There are many factors that cannot be formulated to make the spirit of Duyen. DON’T START YOUR BUSINESS ONLY FOR PASSION What kind of women will your customers be? The people who choose Duyen towels are those who seek not only a beautiful and quality product, but also enjoy Duyen’s story. When they take the time to learn the meaning of Vietnamese folk art told through Duyen scarves, that means they are concerned first, and then respectful of things belonging to literary values. chemical, worth living. And I believe, if they choose a Duyen scarf because of its meaning, they will definitely want to share with others about the reasons for their choice. As a result, they also became the spread of traditional values ​​like me. After silk scarf will be the next product? What do you expect in the market for products with traditional cultural elements of Vietnam? Right now I am wholeheartedly devoted to Duyen silk scarf. I think it’s time to properly position the high-end for products with traditional cultural elements. To do so, first of all, the craftsmanship should be preserved intact. Next, there should be more creative stages, designs based on traditional craftsmanship, to enhance the aesthetics, quality and functionality of the product. And to have a market, it is necessary for business people to dare to invest in this difficult area as we are doing. “I always cherished my plan to bring Duyen to the world market. Marketing as a Vietnamese brand name, selling online on e-commerce channels, and gradually making a name for itself. We will tell the world the beauty of Vietnamese traditional quintessence in a very contemporary language ”. With a startup project in the fashion industry, what factors will be the key to success? In my opinion there are two factors you need to keep in mind. The first is that your fashion brand must have a personality. And the second is very important that not everyone understands: fashion is not just about clothes. Products are just one of a series of stages in a fashion business process. What advice would you give to young people who are looking to start up their own businesses, especially if they are women? I just have a little thing to share like this. There will be many people who start with passion, thinking that being able to do what they love is happiness. But when you get to work, you’ll have to deal with a thousand other headaches besides the ones you like. Then passion is good, but don’t take it as your only reason to start a business. In other words, love with reason. Analyze whether that love has a future, whether we have a long way to go with it, is able to bear fruit or not … All of these while not guaranteeing success, but will at least help. I firmly believe to walk. Thank you for taking the time to chat with VnEconomy. Wish you always luck, happiness and success!

Cat Hai district (Hai Phong city) is considered the capital of giant round gourd, many weighing up to 15kg. Not only has a unique shape, but this gourd also has a rich “unique” flavor. In front of Mr. Tran Hieu’s house (Nghia Lo commune, Cat Hai district) is a green gourd platform, which is both an income source and a hobby of his husband and wife. Mr. Qua said that at some point, his house had 40-50 gourd pods, all of them were big, and the big ones were small one after another. Mr. Qua used to go many places but found nowhere like big gourd like in the land of Cat Hai his hometown. When the fruit is about 2kg large, he uses a wooden piece to tie it on the truss as a support because the fruit grows quickly, stalks will not be able to hold the fruit. Until the fruit grew tens of kilograms in weight, his family cut and sold it. At the beginning of the season, Mr. Qua’s family sold 20,000 VND / kg, the price then fluctuated according to the market, sometimes down to 10,000 VND / kg. Traders come to their homes to buy and then bring them to the market to sell. Sometimes when visitors come to play, he brings gifts to people far away, the closest people can enjoy the rich taste of Cat Hai gourd. This is a gourd fruit that Mr. Qua has reserved seeds for, so that in June and July of lunar calendar, he will be elected to prepare crops for the next season. “This kind of gourd just needs a low trellis, about over 1m, does not like to stay high on wind. The gourd can climb on the truss or the roof. The gourd can be eaten,” said Mr. Qua. According to Mr. Doan Quang Chiem, one of the households with the largest potting area in Nghia Lo commune, the round gourd variety has been left since the time of his father, passed down through many generations. Previously, people planted pots to make pots to draw water to serve the production of salt water and fish sauce manually. In recent years, when the craft salt making in Cat Hai has eroded, gourd has been used for daily food processing. In order to get the wrong fruit rigs, each fruit is as big as the mouth of a cone, the farmers of the district put a lot of effort into it. From seed nursery, tree planting, tree care, scaffolding. However, Mr. Chiem said that many friends and his daughter had also brought gourd seeds to grow in other lands but were not suitable for the soil and climate, so the result was only 4-5 kg, but not as big as planted in the land of Cat Hai. Gourd Cat Hai has thick pulp, picked at the right time, the cakes will be delicious. Gourd can stir-fry with garlic, dip hot pot but the best is to cook soup with fresh shrimp. In particular, many Cat Hai people, when cooking this gourd soup, add a little amaranth rice, the soup will be very sweet. Although the economic value gourd is not high, the farmers here maintain planting and fertilizing year after year. Being charming with the giant round gourd from a young age, Mr. Chiem also worries about the risk of losing gourd varieties when the urbanization process develops rapidly, the land is shrinking, and only a few households maintain planting this variety.
