Soon, Jing Qingxin rode a bicycle into the village, because the village is very close to the troops, and often some military dependents are inconvenient to go to the town or city to buy things, so they will choose to go to the village to make some exchanges with some villagers

Something like this, in fact, the villagers are well aware, but they all turn a blind eye, after all, who doesn't want to make some money to supplement the family, especially now is not the time to be busy with farming, and the family is in a hurry to add some inputs to prepare for the winter

Therefore, the villagers did not feel any surprise when they saw someone entering the village, but only showed more enthusiasm, because everyone knew what it meant for someone to come to the village

Under the big tree at the entrance of the village, the middle-aged and elderly women who sat and chatted while holding the soles of their shoes greeted Jing Qingxin who was pushing a bicycle

"What do you need, girl?"

"My family just received new rice, do you need it?"

"I have eggs at home"

Jing Qingxin obviously didn't expect that as soon as she arrived at the entrance of the village, she was surrounded by enthusiastic villagers, but her house was not short of food

Jing Qingxin hurriedly smiled and said: "Grandma and aunts, thank you for your warm recommendation, I came today, not to exchange food, I just want to ask, who will weave bamboo baskets?"

When they heard that they had not come to exchange food or something, they immediately dispersed, returned to the tree, and continued to collect the soles of their shoes

"This girl, my old man can weave bamboo baskets, I don't know when you need how many" A lady in her sixties squinted and asked, looking very kind.

Jing Qingxin replied: "I need a little too much, I don't know how to sell your bamboo basket."

"Girl, do you want to come with me to my yard and talk to my old man," the eldest lady suggested.

"Well, okay, then the troublesome lady will lead the way" Jing Qingxin happily replied, this is not a good place to talk, it is better to go to the courtyard to talk

"My husband's surname is Yao, and the girl calls me Aunt Yao," Aunt Yao said with a smile.

Jing Qingxin pushed the bicycle and followed Aunt Yao's side, chatting while walking, and arrived at Aunt Yao's house without going far

"Xiaojing, please come in, the home is relatively simple, don't dislike it~" Aunt Yao said with a smile.

"Thank you, no, we live in such a small courtyard," Jing Qing said politely.

Aunt Yao looked at the room and shouted, "Old man, come out quickly"

Immediately, out of the house came a lean old man, almost seventy years old, although his back was a little rickety, but he looked quite energetic

"This is" Uncle Yao asked suspiciously, he knew that there were often military wives in the village to exchange some supplies and supplies, but their family conditions were not very good, and there were no extra materials to buy and sell at all.

Aunt Yao hurriedly explained to her old man the meaning of Jing Qingxin, and after Uncle Yao heard this, his eyes looked at Jing Qingxin.

He didn't expect that there were still bamboo baskets that military wives needed to weave, and he had good skills in weaving since he was young, but like bamboo baskets and baskets, weaving them is not worth much, and the people in the village will spend this money, and there are more bamboos in the village.

Therefore, this craft did not bring much life to the family

"Girl, you can weave any kind of bamboo basket you want," Uncle Yao said bluntly.

Jing Qingxin immediately described to Uncle Yao the size and style of the bamboo basket she wanted, the bamboo basket she wanted was similar to the fruit basket in later generations, but the basket was slightly larger and deeper.

After listening to Jing Qingxin's request, Uncle Yao did not hesitate at all, and responded with a very confident expression: "I can do it, how many girls need and when do I want it?"

Jing Qingxin replied: "Uncle Yao, let's make twenty first, can you make it in these two days?"

This time, the family to thank the family, naturally use less than twenty bamboo baskets, but there are not many baskets at home, in case you want to decorate something to give away, there is no good thing to pack, even if you want to make a bamboo basket, then simply make more preparations, there is always a time to use

"Yes, old man, I've been weaving bamboo baskets for decades, and it's very fast, girl, you can come and get it the day after tomorrow," Uncle Yao said confidently.

"Then how much is this bamboo basket?" Jing Qingxin asked.

Uncle Yao thought for a while and replied, "Even if it's eight cents a piece."

Hearing this, Jing Qingxin's eyes flashed slightly, eight cents is really cheap enough, it still takes a lot of energy to weave a bamboo basket, and pure handmade weaving is a little worthless in this era.

Uncle Yao saw that Jing Qingxin didn't speak, thinking that the other party felt that the price was too high, so he hurriedly said: "Girl, this price is really not expensive, the usual vegetable basket, five or six cents is fine, but the bamboo basket you asked to make is bigger, and it will take a little effort."
