After resting for a while, they felt that their dry stomachs were slightly full, and the heat and exhaustion in their bodies also disappeared, and they continued to move forward.

A few people walked for a while, turned around the foot of a mountain, and saw that there were more and more people. There are also countless villagers, who set up small stalls on the roadside, selling something to tourists.

A young girl walked over.

She was dressed in soft linen garments, with staggered plackets; Coupled with a retro skirt and some meaningful rustic style tailoring, it makes people shine at the same time, but they are not abrupt, they just feel that they are the little sister from which family.

The girl's sleeves were slightly rolled up, and in the summer sun, her white arms were slightly exposed. On the lotus root's arm, there are I don't know how many bracelets that look like wood.

The bracelets are a bit thin, the shape is also a little weird, and some of them are still holding some coils, or inlaid with some metal, which looks small.

As for the color, it is mostly dark brown; There are a few dark or dark red halos, which seem to have been worn for a long time; There are also some that are light brown and yellowish, and seem to be more eye-catching than other bracelets.

But all these bracelets were not as good as the yellow gold bracelet hanging in the crook of her arm at the top. looked at the wooden, but glowing with gold; It is not as dazzling as gold, but it looks soft and elegant, and it does not make people feel too dazzling when it is carried on the girl's fragrant lotus root.

"Uncle, do you want a rattan bracelet? It can be given to this beautiful sister. Here, when we show our love to our favorite person, we always give her a rattan bracelet. The girl rolled up her sleeves, exposed the bracelet on one arm, and shook it. It makes a crisp sound that is not too loud.

"Oh. Do you have any other stories on this bracelet? Hou Lin listened to the girl's introduction. Interested in the tract.

The girl rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "I don't know what the story is not about." However, the older generation of people have heard that many people use this kind of rattan bracelet as a love object. Uncle, do you want to give this beautiful sister one? ”

The girl's clear eyes looked at Hou Lin with anticipation, so he couldn't bear to refuse, and couldn't help but say, "Give me a look." ”

"Give me a look, too." As a woman, Bai Bing is naturally interested in these ornaments. Moreover. This rattan bracelet is indeed made with a unique gesture.

"What kind of rattan are you made of?" Bai Bing looked at the bracelet in his hand and said.

"The vines. There are wild vines on the mountains, and the trunks of the vines of the cave vines. Your dark-colored bracelet is of wild vine; These pale yellow ones are made of cave vines. ”

Bai Bing weighed the bracelet in his hand slightly, and then looked at the bracelets on the girl's lotus arm, "The one in your hand, bright golden yellow, is it the same as these?" ”

"This one is also made from the vines of the cave."

"Then why is this color so bright?" Bai Bing wondered.

"This was cut from the old vine planted by the elder brother of the Zhou family. Other. Just young vines next to Smoke Creek. The girl explained.

Bai Bing picked and took a fancy to a slightly quaint brown-red rattan bracelet. She felt that the pale yellow was too light. Maybe it's because of the new vine, it's not bright; Brilliant golden yellow, but not so flattering to her complexion.

"How do you sell this?"

"My sister has such a good eye. I took it from an old woman in the country. She has been wearing it for decades. Look at this old vine, it's all so bright. And this vine, straight, does not have a single edge. The silver inlaid on it is also very well cared for, and I am reluctant to sell it! Such a thing, but if you sell one, you will lose one.

If my sister really wants it, she ...... Just take it for eight hundred dollars. ”

The girl is obviously selling this kind of thing for the first time, and she can't handle the price well.

When she was in college, she studied marketing. She didn't know how she had studied such a major in a daze, in fact, she was not an extroverted girl, and as a girl, she was not very suitable for a job in the sales industry.

After graduating from college, she didn't find a suitable job outside, so she returned home depressed, ready to accept her family's arrangement.

However, the popularity of Dongtian grapes and Dongtian tourism made her see an opportunity to get rid of the "fate" arranged by her parents.

She saw an opportunity in the small rattan bracelet on her grandmother's body.

In this day and age, there are very few people who wear rattan bracelets. Only in the hands of some old grandmothers in the countryside can one or two be seen occasionally; Even the method of making rattan bracelets has gradually been lost.

There are many ways to make rattan bracelets on the Internet.

But the girl still consulted her grandmother, only to find that the search for a way to make a rattan bracelet had to fall on her grandfather.

My grandfather was obviously very happy with the girl's request. He even forgot the rule of "passing on the craft to the inside but not to the outside, and to the man but not to the woman", and taught a craft to the girl.

Grandpa handed a freshly made rattan bracelet to the girl, sighed and said with a little pride: "I haven't done it for many years, but I didn't expect the handicraft to be there." I relied on this craft to catch up with your grandmother, 'a flower in ten miles and eight towns'. ”

"It's been a long time, how many years have you been doing it, why do you still bring it out to tell the children?" Even though my grandmother is so old, she is still a little shy when she talks about her youth.

"I can't say why." Grandpa slanted like grandma and said.

Although my grandfather said this, he did not continue to tell the past that the girl was interested in, but told her about the production process of rattan bracelets.

The method of making rattan bracelets is very simple. But like everything, even a simple egg fried rice is not easy to do well.

First of all, the choice of rattan is a big problem.

From the type of vine, the surrounding environment of growth, to the age of adulthood, all aspects must be examined, otherwise, it may not be resilient enough, and it will break as soon as it is broken; It may also be in the humidity of the south, damp and mildew; It may also not be worn for a long time.

The second is production. The production method is much the same, but what kind of it can be made. First, it depends on personal dexterity. Second, we must look at the "heat" control.

Of course. Grandpa naturally has other unique skills, that is, a potion configured with herbs on the mountain.

Just boil the vine in this potion and bend it into a suitable shape, which is very easy to shape, and it will also have a unique fragrance that makes people happy.

As for the matter of chiseling silver, you need to go to the silversmith.

The girl studied for more than half a month, and finally entered the craft. Then I started making my own.

But in the process of production, she found that no matter how good the new rattan bracelets were, they could not compare with the solidity and brightness of those old rattan bracelets, with a heavy atmosphere of time.

At the same time, she also found that not all old people took the same care of her rattan bracelets as her grandmother. Even in those days, in many places, rattan bracelets had been reduced to an ordinary piece of jewelry; It was only in her hometown, in such a remote mountain forest village in the middle of nowhere. It retains this tradition of using rattan bracelets as love objects.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, she spent a lot of money. He searched between villages and towns, and with his only remaining savings, he bought all the old rattan bracelets he could buy.

Today is the day when she first came out to sell rattan bracelets.

After spending so much time and effort, and in the past few months, I don't know how much pressure from my parents and the guidance of the villagers in that backward mountain village, today, it is finally time to test the results.

With a clear heart of apprehension and expectation, the girl put on the beautiful dress she specially asked her mother to sew, and rode through Qingshan Town on her brother's motorcycle; It was easy to choose a place, look at the crowds, and start selling your first product.

Don't look at her mouth opening beautifully and neatly, but she is very nervous. Especially when she said "eight hundred", her whole heart went to her throat.

She was afraid that the other party would say a word. She was ready for the other party to haggle; Even as soon as the other party said it, she was ready to take advantage of the trend to lower the price.

Bai Bing looked at the cute girl with a bun face who was so nervous that she forgot her smiling face and widened her eyes, she couldn't help but smile on her face, and her heart moved. You see, right. She took out eight large red bills from her purse and put them in the girl's hand.

Although Bai Bing felt that 800 yuan might be a little expensive, he felt that it was worth it when he looked at the complicated silver threads on the rattan bracelet, the slightly unique shape of the whole, and the dark red color that had been honed over the years.

"Ah......" The girl didn't expect that the other party would not bargain at all. She stupidly took the money handed by the other party and was stunned for a moment.

"What's wrong?" Bai Bing glanced at her and said.

"It's too much. I thought you'd bargain, so I called a high price......" The girl said stupidly what she had hidden in her heart.

"Then you will back me a little more?" Bai Bing looked at the girl in front of him funny, and said tentatively.

"Oh~" The girl still responded in a daze, and took out two of the eight big red bills and handed them back. Then she hesitated, then pulled out a large red bill and handed it over.

Bai Bing looked at the money handed back by the girl, and didn't know what to say anymore.

"This is your first time selling something, right?" The smile in Bai Bing's eyes couldn't be hidden.

She didn't reach out to take it, but said, "You can get the money back quickly, let's settle the money and goods." How can you, a seller, get the money back?

This is your first business, right? ”

"Well, you're the first one to buy my stuff."

"Oh--that's it, my sister is the first time I come to you to buy something, and you are also the first time to sell something, so my sister will give you another happy money." As he spoke, Bai Bing took out two hundred-yuan bills from his wallet and stuffed them into the girl's hand, "Make up a whole number, a thousand yuan, festive!" In the future, if my sister still has a chance to do your business, you have to be cheaper. ”

She really likes this silly girl, and she likes her clear temperament.

Until Bai Bing left, the girl was still stupid. She seemed to be a little stunned by what was in front of her, and she hadn't reacted yet; The whole person is in a state of distraction.

The people around have long been attracted by this girl with different clothes; was attracted by her white swaying lotus arms, and by the various exquisite rattan bracelets on the lotus arms, as early as when Bai Bing left, someone surrounded her.

Everyone was adored by this cute and somewhat silly girl, and was amused.

Some people have begun to pick up their mobile phones to take pictures of girls dressed up in funny situations; Some people began to ask young girls for rattan bracelets.

All of a sudden. The girl was surrounded by more than a dozen people. And the people who came around. Whether it's curious, watching the excitement or having the heart to buy, there are more and more people.

For some unknown reason, it seems that no one bargained with the maiden - and in a short time, the bracelet of the arm that the maiden brought to test the waters was sold cleanly.

"Are the rattan bracelets gone?" A girl asked disappointedly as she looked at the girl's slick and white arms.

"There are no more. Others are still at home, a bit far away. I may not be able to get it today. ”

At this time, the girl had the heart to sort out the money in her hand, and her big and round eyes showed a smile full of happiness - a silly smile.

"That's right." Since she decided to buy it, but she didn't buy it, this made the girl feel disappointed, and she wanted to get it more and more, "Will you come back tomorrow?" ”

"Come on, if the weather isn't too bad. My house is a bit far away and the road is difficult to walk. ”

"Do you have a cell phone? Shall we exchange numbers? ”

"Okay~" the girl said. He took out his mobile phone and gave the number to the girl.

"Then if you come tomorrow. Can you give me a call? It's better to hit one before you come, I'll wait for you here. I've been here for the last few days. ”

"Okay."

As the two talked, the conversation shifted to the girl's costume.

"Where did you buy this? It feels so good! It is comfortable to touch, too. The girl touched the girl's garment, feeling the slightly rough, but extremely soft and intimate fabric.

"My mom made it for me." The girl replied.

"Your mom did it? Is your mom a tailor? Doing a clothing business? Where is the storefront......" The girl was stunned by the girl's series of questions, and she didn't know which one to answer.

She didn't think it was strange that her mom could make clothes. In a small mountain village like hers, what peasant woman doesn't have a little buddy in her hands?

In those people's homes, the economy is in the hands of men, but when it comes to eating, drinking, and dressing, it is a woman's business. The abundance of products in the mountains, although there is not much money to go outside to have fun, but there is always something to spare and some time to express their love for beauty.

"My mom doesn't run a business, she doesn't own a clothing store." The girl was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses and said, "If you need it...... I don't know if I have any such clothes at home......"

As soon as the girl heard the girl's words, she immediately said, "I really want a dress like yours, it's so beautiful!" Be sure to contact me if you have one! If I'm not here, mail it to me! But why not let your mom open a clothing store here? I've been shopping all day, and I've never seen such beautiful clothes like yours, and I think if you open a clothing store at home, business must be very good......"

There are many tourists like this girl around, or rattan bracelets that they like or novelty, and they leave their phones to the girl, and some people ask the girl's clothes and whether they can be customized.

Of course, there are also some bold boys, looking at this stupid little white flower, they also came up, shy faces, and successfully got the phone from this stupid girl under various reasons such as buying gifts for their sister...... That's another story.

"Ayi, why did you come back? Is it that things can't be sold? Or are you being bullied? The elder brother who was riding a motorcycle hadn't finished drinking a bowl of tea, and he couldn't help but care when he saw the girl walking back.

"No, I don't. It's the rattan bracelet that is sold out. The girl took a bowl of tea, took a sip of it, and said.

"Ah, it's sold out?" Brother was dumbfounded—how much time has passed? He just sat down and ordered tea, and he didn't even finish a bowl of tea!

"How much did it cost to sell? Didn't lose money, right? ”

When the girl heard his words, she took out a large handful of big red bills from the small cloth pocket beside her, and said with a very happy smile: "It was sold for more than 5,000 yuan!" ”

"More than five thousand dollars?" Brother looked at the handful of red banknotes and was completely dumbfounded.

He was a little incredulous: he had only been there for so many years, and how could he have sold it for more than 5,000 yuan with just such a few things? I worked hard for a month, and it was only a few thousand dollars.

He took the red money in Ayi's hand, counted it, looked at it carefully, and finally knew that the ticket in his hand was real, and it was indeed more than 5,000 yuan.

"Hurry up and put it away, put it away! There are so many people here, don't take it out, be careful......" Brother thought that there were so many people around, and suddenly felt that a large handful of banknotes in his hand began to burn - as if someone was looking at him with malicious eyes, looking at the banknotes in his hand.

He hurriedly stuffed the red banknote in his hand into the girl's small cloth pocket, and tightened it tightly, and then breathed a sigh of relief. Even so, I couldn't help but look around to see if there were any "suspicious characters".

He still couldn't believe it, and wondered: "It's all the money you made from selling those bracelets?" How much do you have to sell for a bracelet? Those things made of rattan are really worth money? ”

"Of course!" The girl was suspicious one after another, and gave him a little unhappy look, "Good bracelets, chiseled silver, I sell them for a few hundred yuan each; If it is a little worse, it will be sold for a hundred dollars; Old bracelets are sold for a little more expensive; If it's new, it's cheaper...... Anyway, when I sold out of my bracelet, I sold it for so much money!

Some of my sisters asked me if my mother made any clothes! They also want a ......."

The elder brother who came with him in the village, listening to Ayi's words, felt that the whole world was a little unreal—how could such worthless things be sold for so much money?

He wondered if something was wrong with him or if the world was changing too fast......
