Chapter 213

Last time I went to the town, Gu Xiaowan saw that some people were selling these woven goods. Most of them were simple baskets, baskets and bamboo baskets. They were large and bulky, not delicate and small enough. Although it can be sold, the most important customers are farmers gathered in the village, because farmers often use large baskets of medicine. However, this big basket is strong, hard to break, and can be used for a long time.

Big families like to use delicate, gorgeous and small things. Gu Xiaowan drew a few pictures, all of which were small baskets. They were mainly used to decorate snacks, buy dishes on the street, and put them on the dresser to hold rouge, water powder and other things. It's convenient and beautiful. It's much lighter than those heavy baskets and baskets.

Gu Xiaowan put the picture in his arms and planned to go to Aunt Zhang's house. She wants to ask Uncle Zhang if these things can be made up. If she can make it up, she will go to the county tomorrow and take a few to see if she can find some market.

When Gu Ningping finished washing the dishes, Gu Xiaowan locked the door and took her two brothers and sisters to Aunt Zhang's house.

When we arrived at Uncle Zhang's house, we saw Aunt Zhang and the three of them were in the yard. Uncle Zhang kept knitting frames in his hands, and there was a brand-new large basket that had been woven. The stone was making bamboo pieces into bamboo pieces with a blade. Aunt Zhang soaked the bamboo pieces in the water. After a while, she took them out, dried them, and handed them to Uncle Zhang. Three people work together, from time to time to say a few words, and bask in the sun at the door, not to mention how happy.

The stone was the first one who saw Gu Xiaowan come all the way. He said something to his father and mother. He immediately put down the blade in his hand and got up to meet Gu Xiaowan and some of them. A few people said and laughed and went into the yard. Aunt Zhang came out with a few small benches. When they saw Gu Xiaowan, they warmly said, "Wan girl, come and have a seat."

Gu Xiaowan and they called out sweetly Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang and sat down on the bench.

"Uncle Zhang, your craftsmanship is very good!" Gu Xiaowan watched Uncle Zhang weave a bamboo basket. The uncle's hands were flying up and down, pressing one piece, and then he made a basket. The thickness and width of the bamboo strips were very uniform. The round and upright bamboo strips were very beautiful.

Uncle, it's been more than ten years old to laugh

Gu Xiaowan also laughed and asked, "Uncle Zhang, how many baskets can you sell in a year?"

Uncle Zhang thought for a while, and calculated: "about 50, it can only sell so many in a year."

"Wench Wan, the basket made by your Uncle Zhang is strong and can be used for years!" Aunt Zhang said with a smile. The bamboo baskets made by her family are strong and durable. Many people like to buy them from her home. It's just that it doesn't go bad for years, and they can't sell it. It's a mixed blessing.

Gu Xiaowan nodded and only sold 50 or so a year. This income can be seen. It is estimated that it is just to be able to earn more income.

Gu Xiaowan thought about it and suggested, "Uncle Zhang, what you make up are big baskets and big baskets. Can you weave small baskets?"

"Wan wench, as long as you say what it is like, your Uncle Zhang will not make it up!" Uncle Zhang said with some pride that after weaving bamboo baskets for so many years, he thought his craftsmanship was still very good.

Gu Xiaowan gave a joyful hum, took out the piece of paper from his arms, pointed to the pattern on it and said, "Uncle Zhang, can you make it like this, it's so big..." Gu Xiaowan made a comparison with his fingers.

When Aunt Zhang saw it, they all put down their work one after another. When they saw Gu Xiaowan's drawing, they were about the same size as the big bowl containing soup at home. Uncle Zhang had some doubts: "Miss Wan, what's the use of weaving such a big basket?"

"Yes, Miss Wan, you can't hold anything in such a small basket!" Aunt Zhang also said. This can hold a few catties of rice, even if it is to buy vegetables, but also can not hold much! This is such a small basket. It belongs to farmers. Who can use it!

"Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang, this basket is not used for holding things, but for decoration." Gu Xiaowan explained.

"Decoration? What is decoration? "

Gu Xiaowan saw that everyone was staring at himself in doubt, and could only explain: "decoration is just put there to look good. In fact, it is not very useful. Such a small basket can't hold anything, but it can be sold in a dim sum shop and installed with doors to hold high-end snacks. It can also be sold to a water noodle shop to hold rouge and water powder for girls. In a word, don't underestimate this small bamboo basket, but as long as it is delicate and compact, it can be used widely. "

Gu Xiaowan is very sure, because she knows the effect of this box. There is no paper in this era. If you want to make decorative boxes, you can only use bamboo strips to weave them. If they are good-looking, the small bamboo baskets will surely sell very well.

"Can there be so many uses?" As if listening to the Arabian Nights, Zhang Shu was a little confused. He always thought that the bigger the basket, the better it could be used to hold more grain, and the bigger the bamboo basket, the better it could hold a lot of vegetables.

But listen to Gu Xiaowan say today, it seems that this basket still has this purpose!

"Sure, Uncle Zhang, think about it. You can weave this big bamboo basket now. It can be used for several years in rich families or ordinary farmers' homes. As long as it is not broken, people will not want to change it. Therefore, you can only sell 50 bamboo baskets a year. If this small basket is popular, you can think about it. Girls go to rouge and water powder shop and buy them A bamboo basket is just for a little thing. When people buy snacks and go shopping, they will send a bamboo basket. If you think about it, it doesn't need to say how much it needs every year. It needs a lot of money every day. "Gu Xiaowan calculated an account: "in the past, the big bamboo basket, even if we were 50 Wen, was small and easy to weave. It is estimated that 50 or 60 bamboo baskets a day are not a problem. If you can make 300 Wen a day, you can work hard. If you can make 300 Wen a day, you can do it!"

Hearing Gu Xiaowan settle accounts like this, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang both stare at each other. 300 Wen a day is not only OK, it's just like dreaming!
