上海雜貨鋪（簡體書）

雜貨，在生活中隨處可見：家務、炊煮、工作、娛樂——是我們了解不同地區生活方式和文化傳統的途徑之一。雜貨大都出自不知名的工匠，其手工制作技藝，經家傳或師徒傳承，一部分由集群生產成為早期城市工業和經濟發展的基礎，一部分則仍然保持著個體手工制作、自由買賣的狀態。
《上海雜貨鋪》用攝影和插圖的方式，呈現在上海仍然可以買到的120件雜貨，并以竹、木、草、鐵、布五種材質為線索，記錄了10多位生活在上海的手工業者，通過他們的敘述及制作的產品，展現與分享手工業者的現狀及本地的生活細節，為熱愛生活的讀者、中外設計師以及關注上海的人們帶去自然和環保的生活信念。

這手工活用的都是巧勁
口述：陳師傅，71歲，白鐵匠，浦東新區新場鎮
我17歲開始學敲鉛皮（白鐵），在廠里跟著老師傅學，平時下班的時候自己也練習練習。后來下崗了，就開始自己接活干了，到現在50多年了喔！
現在每天都要做8小時。做這個其實不是很用力的，敲敲打打都是用巧勁，所以也不算什么體力活，但剛學那會兒手一直敲出血，滿手的橡皮膏。
一般經常做的尺寸都已經在我腦子里了，其他有些比較復雜的，人家有要求的，我就畫下來問他們是不是要這個東西。像澆花桶有6個尺寸，可以根據不同需要來定做。如頭上的這個洞眼小一點少一點，水澆得就遠一點，大一點密一點呢，就可以澆得近，每個定的人要求都不一樣的。
我帶過三個徒弟，不過現在都不做了，嫌這個賺錢慢。
店里做蘿卜絲餅、油墩子用的那個勺賣得最好，5塊錢一個，一天快的話可以做50個，看心情的。
逢年過節，像桃花節的時候人多的不得了，外國人也多，我已經做出名氣來了，生意好的不得了，新場就我一家呀，每天有人跟我定東西，賺點功夫錢，吃喝沒問題。
Clever skills are needed in this kind of manual work.
Narrator: Mr. Chen, 71, tinker (Xinchang Town, Pudong)
I began to work on tin at the age of 17 when I apprenticed myself to a veteran craftsman in the factory and practiced regularly off work. Later, after I was laid off from the factory, I began to take jobs on my own. It is already over 50 years from today!
Now I work 8 hours every day. The work doesn’t require much strength; instead, the tinkering needs a lot of clever skills. Therefore, it is not much of heavy manual labor. I kept injuring my fingers in the beginning though, and my hands were wrapped with duct tape all over to stop bleeding.
Some common objects are so frequently produced that their sizes are already in my mind. As for more complicated objects to be custom-made for customers, I draw a design and ask them if this is what they want. For example, a sprinkler kettle can be made in 6 sizes based on different needs, and it can produce a long spray of water if the holes at the top are made smaller and sparser, or produce a short spray of water if the holes are made larger and denser. I can custom-make all these items for the needs of the customers.
I was the master of three apprentices, but they are all out of this business now, thinking it too slow in making money.
The best-selling item of my shop is the spoon for cooking carrot cakes and fried buns, at a price of RMB 5. I can make as many as 50 a day, but it depends on the mood.
During festivals, such as the Peach Blossom Festival, I have a great number of customers, even foreigners. I have established an excellent reputation, which brings me good business. My shop is one of a kind in Xinchang, anyway! People place orders at my shop every day, and I can easily earn my meals with my skills.
