Chapter 98 Wicker Crafts
When he arrived at the acquisition station, Luo Xincai said hello to the people inside and led his grandmother into the warehouse. "Sister-in-law, you pick it up first, and I'll go back and prepare lunch for you. ”
"No need, brother, I have other things, I'll go to your house to eat next time I come. ”
"Then let's say okay, next time you will stay. I'll go back, you pick it up and put it on and let them weigh it, I'll arrange it. ”
There is no one in the warehouse, and you can toss vigorously in it, and if it is not easy to move, let the robot come out to help. The two of them tossed their gray faces, and when they saw that they thought they were valuable, they took it into the space. In the end, I was afraid that people would see it, so I buried a broken bed next to me underneath.
The two of them picked for more than an hour, and then turned over the waste paper pile. Seeing that the time was almost twelve o'clock at noon, I hurriedly packed two sacks and carried them out to weigh.
After leaving the scrap yard, the two found a quiet place and went into the space to take a combat bath.
I hurried to the first restaurant when I came out, and now it is different from the future generations, after the time to eat, although the restaurant is not closed, but it is more annoying to open the door and not sell food.
Since you came here, you have eaten the food of the present, and you are very disgusted with the food of the future, so you try not to eat it.
Grandma didn't understand her mouth full of safe and secure green food, and often disliked her hypocrisy. However, she always tries to meet her requests for food.
Today, there is tile fish in the restaurant, grandma bought one, and the one that you eat is called fragrant, this is the real Yellow River carp, which is very tender.
After the meal, my grandmother packed two more portions of braised pork and took them home. Yoyo suggested to grandma that he go to the wholesale department to buy two boxes of flashlights and batteries, so that everyone can touch the monkey. The shopping mall is full of rechargeable flashlights, and there is really no one that can be used in this era.
The wholesale department of the county town is also behind the department store, and the mother and wife have never been there. When I arrived, I found out that no one was on duty here at noon, and I didn't go to work until 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
There is no way, only waiting. Yoyo and Grandma are wandering on the street, to the north of the department store, on both sides of the north and south streets, there are non-staple food stores, local products stores, fruit stores, grain and oil stores, grain and oil stores, grain bureaus, and non-staple food factories.
There are more than 20 frames in the fruit store, and there are open frames on the counter, which are fresh Feicheng peaches, and the leaves below are still bright and green, and the size is more than half a catty, and the whole store exudes a strong peach fragrance.
The label in front of the basket reads an eye-catching price, which is 0.2 yuan per catty for Feicheng peaches. Grandma asked the salesman: "Comrade, this peach is so good, just came in?"
"Yes, I brought it overnight last night, and that's all I had left to sell in the morning, so there will be fewer people, and the rest is estimated not to be enough to sell in the afternoon." ”
A basket of fifty pounds of peaches, and grandma asked for a basket. The salesman let Grandma inside and washed a peach for Yoyo with tap water. Yoyo took it and held it and gnawed it, the ripe peach was sweet and delicious, so delicious.
Take a bite and hand it to your grandmother's mouth, so that your grandmother can also take a bite. The peach basket placed on the back seat of the bicycle was put into the space when it was no one.
The north side of the grain bureau is the city wall, and you can see it from a distance, there are two stores outside the city wall, and the door is very lively, and people carry their bags in and out, so they pull their grandmothers over.
When I got closer, it turned out to be the handicraft store of the Foreign Trade Bureau, and people were all processed finished products in their baggage, and they came here to deliver them.
Curious, I walked in, and the two stores were strip knitting products and straw weaving products. The strip knitting products are mainly all kinds of baskets, baskets and mats, most of which are daily necessities. However, the material is peeled wicker, which is snow-white and crystalline, finely made, and very beautiful.
Yoyo's eyes lit up, and he thought of a large number of wild willows in the river beach and patches of willow trees in the village forest. Most of the people in Hantun Village can weave crafts, and in their spare time in the morning and evening, they can weave various daily necessities at home.
However, most of them are made from local materials, and the wicker is not peeled. There are also thin wicker strips that are peeled to weave a small basket and a small blue one for the child as a toy.
After a careful look for a while, the price of the finished product is a few cents to more than a dollar, which is formulated according to the employment situation.
Grandma asked a few delivery people, and they all said that they could earn more than one yuan a day when they were idle in winter and spring. When the farm is busy, he will work in the morning and evening, and he will earn ten yuan and twenty yuan a month, which is better than doing anything else.
It seems that the use of free time to process foreign trade products is a suitable industry for increasing income in rural areas at present.
After a while, grandma inquired clearly. It turns out that most of them are people in the south of the county, the land is seriously salinized, and the yield of crops is low.
In the past, it mainly produced daily necessities and sold them to the surrounding masses. Now processing foreign trade products, not only the price is high, but also the sales volume is stable.
Seeing that Yoyo really wanted it, out of the store, grandma found an older woman and sold her a few products at a high price.
Yoyo said to his grandmother, take it back as a sample, our village has wicker and capable people, processing foreign trade products is a good way to increase income.
The women who are engaged in straw weaving are the women in the vicinity, mainly processing with incoming materials, and the raw materials are processed straw braids provided by foreign trade companies, mainly to process various mats, and the processing fee is relatively low.
Seeing that the time was almost two o'clock in the afternoon, my grandmother hurriedly took Youyou, rode a bicycle to the wholesale department, and had to go to the bus station to take a bus at three o'clock.
The prices of the wholesale department of department stores in the prefecture are the same as those in the waterfront area, unlike the top-down division of wholesalers from top to bottom, as in later generations.
However, there are many fewer types of goods, especially tobacco, alcohol, sugar and tea, and there are very few high-end ones. Grandma asked for a flashlight and batteries, plus some necessary goods from the sales center, and the mother and mother went back.
As soon as I returned to the village in the afternoon, people came to ask about the situation. Grandma told them that all the monkeys they harvested last night had been sold, and they would continue to collect them tonight. When the big guy heard this, he hurried home to make dinner, and after drinking the soup, he went to touch the monkey.
Grandma took more than ten catties of peaches and a few willow samples, went to her uncle's house, and followed you to listen to the news. As soon as I entered the door, my uncle and grandmother grabbed my grandmother and asked, "I was about to go to you, and all the monkeys I collected last night were sold." ”
"I sold it, and now I know that the monkey has just started to have it, and it is easy to sell. Grandma replied easily.
"Then I'll rest assured, I'm thinking about you all day today. In the future, you have to take it leisurely, and it is money in your hands. It seems that my aunt's heart will not be able to let go for a while.
"Sister-in-law, I see. I met a seller of Feicheng peaches in the city, so I bought a basket, and you went to wash it so that everyone could taste it. Seeing the second aunt come out of the kitchen, Grandma handed her the basket of peaches.
