"Bai Shi, sister-in-law!" Bai Zixing shouted from afar.
Bai He saw an old man following behind him, and immediately felt at ease. It seemed that he would definitely help him.
After some thought, she came up with an idea.
"Bai Shi, my father agreed. He will definitely help you guys make a bamboo basket." Bai Zixing said directly.
Bai He walked up and greeted before saying: "I'll be troubling you. The bamboo basket that I want to make is rather exquisite, so it might be a bit troublesome."
"What's the trouble? "It's such a coincidence that my father did all this." Bai Zixing hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, just tell me, what do you want, my father will definitely do it."
Hearing Bai Zixing's words and seeing the man nod his head, she voiced out his thoughts, "Since it's so small, can I watch by the side while we do it?"
She was still a little worried about whether she would be able to reach the size she wanted.
"Sister-in-law, you can be at ease. You'll definitely do it. Furthermore, who is my father? Could it be that he is unable to produce such a thing? " Bai Zixing said proudly: "Back then, my father was someone who sold bamboo mats."
Bai He became more at ease after hearing his words. The bamboo mat was much harder than the bamboo basket that she wanted. If he could even make this, the bamboo basket would definitely be a piece of cake.
"Then let's begin." Bai He said as she saw the man sit down.
The middle-aged man nodded his head. After using the blade, he split the bamboo into pieces that were not thicker than vines and started to shave off the hard parts inside. He then followed Bai He's instructions and started to do things slowly.
Bai Zixing and Bai Shi helped out from the side.
Bai He was responsible for seeing whether the size was suitable.
Bai He's gaze did not leave the middle-aged man's hands at all. Those hands were very rough and full of calluses, making them look somewhat sinister, but the fingers were extremely active. A few bamboo sticks were jumping around in his hands, and in a short while, the rough outline of the bamboo basket was completed.
Bai He roughly estimated the size of the bamboo basket and was relieved.
"Alright." With a simple start and end, he broke the excess bamboo strips and made a bamboo basket the size of three fists.
Bai He extended his hand and pinched it, immediately praising his fingers.
"Is that enough?" Bai Zixing asked from the side.
Bai He shook her head and quickly told them her request. "I need five or six of them, it won't do even if it's too little."
Bai Zixing then began to arrange everything.
However, Bai He took the bamboo basket and had Bai Shi make a piece of bamboo. He tied the bamboo basket with a small hook and finally made the bamboo basket complete.
When the time came, he would put the dishes directly into the bamboo basket and hang them on the pot. All he needed to do was to wait for the dish to ripen and it would be even more convenient.
When Bai He thought about this situation, she immediately became happy. She didn't know how many of these she could sell for, and hoped to earn a decent amount.
With the help of Bai Zixing and the others, a few bamboo baskets were quickly completed.
Bai He expressed her thanks, but did not forget to take out the two ten pennies and said: "Many thanks, although this money is not much, but at least I can buy some food."
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?" Seeing Bai He actually do such a thing, Bai Zixing was immediately shocked.
Bai He shook his head, and said: "You must take it, or else I'll be embarrassed to ask for your help in the future." What should be given should be given, these were Bai He's principles.
Moreover, in her mind, if she didn't give it now, then she would have to trouble him more in the future. She had accumulated too much gratitude and guilt, so it was easy for something to happen to her.
"That won't do." Bai Zixing continued to persevere.
Bai Shi said, "If I tell you to take it, then take it."
Seeing that, Bai Zixing could only accept it, he looked at his father and said: "Father, then we will accept it."
Bai Shi nodded.
Seeing that the things he wanted were all ready, Bai He happily followed Bai Shi back.
Bai Shi did not say a word, and only nodded his head slightly.
Bai He sighed and thought for a while, then said: "Wait until our business gets on the right track, we can help them out too."
Bai Shi nodded again.
Bai He looked at the bamboo basket in Bai Shi's hand. Her heart was filled with motivation, she believed that their lives would get better and better.
After returning home, she did not take the time to rest. In the end, she threw the bamboo basket into the boiling water and boiled it well for a long time before taking it out and putting it aside for tomorrow's use.
Bai Shi helped from the side.
"Help me get the meat." Bai He washed the wok and prepared to cook.
Bai Shi stood up, took the meat, and placed it in front of Bai Shi. When his two arms came into contact with the meat, Bai He immediately cried out in alarm.
Bai Shi looked at her, puzzled.
Bai He looked at his arm, and immediately said: "Bai Shi, do you know, you're a lot skinnier now!" His arms were originally five to six of her size, but now they looked no more than two and a half.
Bai Shi nodded his head, and said: "After drinking the medicinal juice, it was very effective."
When Bai He heard him mention it, she suddenly remembered that she had forced him to drink some of the medicinal concoction she had given him previously. The effects were indeed shocking, but his reaction back then was still very big.
When Bai He thought about his appearance back then, she felt that it was really interesting. However, she didn't dare to laugh at him blatantly.
Thinking about it, she looked carefully at Bai Shi, the flesh on his face also became lesser and lesser, his facial features looking more and more three-dimensional, actually carrying a bit of an elegant taste.
This kind of Bai Shi surprised her a little. He originally thought that the other party was a very cold and detached person, but in the end, his face was not the same.
The frightening wound had recovered by more than half, and now, only a few traces could be seen.
Seeing such a situation, Bai He was naturally overjoyed. With such a good appearance, even if she couldn't remember the events from before, there would definitely be a lot of people who would want to stick close to him.
As Bai He thought of this, for some reason, his mood grew depressed.
No, this is a good thing. She hurriedly tossed away such a thought, looked at Bai Shi, and said: "Don't look at me, light the fire!"
He didn't know how to react at all.
Bai He looked at Bai Shi in anger.
Bai Shi was a little puzzled by her sudden change in expression, but still insisted: "Alright. But, what did you just see? "
"The wound on your face has healed a lot. You should be able to recover your original appearance soon." Bai He said in the end.
Hearing her words, Bai Shi nodded his head, and asked: "Then do you know what the situation is like?"
Bai He thought for a while, then said: "Don't ask too much about this, you just need to know that it's for your own good." Of course, she could not reveal the secret of her space. Although Bai Shi might have already guessed something, she would definitely not think of it if she did not say it.
Seeing that she was not willing to say it, Bai Shi did not force her and continued to light the fire.
Bai He looked at him, her heart also having a plan, as she replied, "Bai Shi, don't worry. If something happens one day, I will definitely tell you."
Bai Shi lifted his head and looked at her, but didn't say a word.
The two of them cooked in silence, then quietly ate their dinner. Just as Bai He was about to rest, she saw Bai Shi walking in.
Bai Shi looked at her and said, "You haven't tried out your shoes yet."
Only then did Bai He remember the shoes that Bai Shi had bought for her, so she took them out, the size of the shoes was rather perfect. She put them on, stepped on the ground, walked two steps, and said in surprise: "These shoes are very soft, it is very comfortable."
"As long as you like it." Bai Shi said simply.
When Bai He saw this pair of shoes, the peach blossoms on them were extremely eye-catching, and the fondness she had towards these shoes grew by quite a bit as she said: "However, this pair of shoes must have also spent quite a bit of silver."
With such a comfortable material, the level of embroidery, and the softness of the soles of his shoes, it didn't take much to tell that it was expensive.
Bai Shi shook his head and said: "I'm fine."
Bai He looked at him twice, and in the end decided to not ask anymore, in case the price was too expensive.
Therefore, she wisely chose not to ask about the price.
"You should change your shoes, right?" Bai He looked at Bai Shi. A pair of black cloth shoes was beneath his feet, but it was already worn beyond recognition.
Bai Shi lowered his head to look at his shoes, and if he wanted to complain, he said: "I can still wear it."
Hearing him say that, an uncomfortable feeling flashed across Bai He's heart. He didn't know what he was thinking, but could it be that he really didn't care about her?
However, she still had an idea in her heart. Since he had prepared some things for her, she naturally could not ignore them without a conscience.
Thinking of this, she made up her mind.
The two chatted for a while longer before returning to their room to rest.
Bai He lied on the bed, thinking about Bai Shi's actions today, and her heart was filled with emotions. The other party was actually able to completely ignore her shoes, and only look at her shoes;
With Bai Shi being this good, I wonder what kind of scene he will be in in the future.
When Bai He thought of this possibility, he felt a little uncomfortable.
She pulled up her quilt and covered her head, trying not to think about anything else.
Let nature take its course, let nature take its course. It was better not to think about such things, it was more important to sell one's own delicacies.
Thinking of this, she slowly fell asleep. Today she was really tired, no matter what the problem was, it would always be his occasional sleep exhaustion.
Therefore, she no longer thought about anything else and let herself sink into a beautiful dream.
