Chapter 121 The Value of Bamboo Weaving

Li Erhuahui's bamboo weaving has nine kinds of weaving methods, longitudinal and horizontal, can be woven into a variety of utensils.

There is a difference in the times, in the past, the new three years, the old three years, the sewing and repairing for another three years, a hot water tank and an iron pot, broken and repaired, no one is willing to throw away these objects.

After half a day's work, Li Erhua quietly set up a bamboo dustpan in the yard, which can be used to sieve rice and bran. The palm is good for broadcasting sundries, leaving no residue, so that it can be replaced.

In the farmhouse, the dustpan is a farming tool that every household needs, and a dustpan can be used for several lifetimes, at least for more than ten years. This is especially true for the simple villagers, even if it is a bamboo tool, it can be used for three generations, and they will never dare to throw it away in two generations, that is to be retributed.

Liang Chuan's group of people waited for Li Erhua to make the dustpan, and then took it over and looked at it carefully. Yi Niang stood next to her, stretched out her hand to stroke the dustpan, and said: "Sister Li is really ingenious, with this craft, in the future, our sisters will make this bamboo weaving every day, and we can also have a good time!" ”

Li Erhua is just a very ordinary and ordinary little thing, all the people in their family rely on this craft to survive, and this craft has been deeply integrated into their blood, just like eating.

Yi Niang is the housewife of this family, she feels the deepest in her heart, now there are few people in the family who can farm, and there is no land for them to plant, the land is planted, and she is tired all year round, but after paying taxes and rent, there is not much food left in her hands. Now he knows a little craft, Liang Chuan likes to wander outside, just go with him, men should be ambitious in all directions, take care of housework at home, do these bamboo weaving in their spare time, and then sell them in the market, and live a good life.

Liang Chuan fiddled with the dustpan and broke it with his hand, the dustpan was only slightly deformed, but the toughness of the bamboo itself made it return to its original shape at once. This kind of take from nature and then use the wisdom of technology, to create, the manufacture of agricultural tools is a confirmation of the great wisdom of the ancient working people of our country, an inconspicuous green bamboo, to a peasant woman without the power of the chicken, can become more than ten years of durable farm tools, bamboo weaving, the best confirmation of the ancient splendid culture.

Liang Chuan asked Li Erhua and said, "Sister Erhua, how much do you usually sell for a dustpan like this?" ”

Li Erhua said: "This kind of small dustpan costs 100 yuan a piece. ”

"Where's the big one?"

"The big ones are hundreds. See how much time you have to do. ”

Ye Xiaochai couldn't help but exclaim: "Can you earn a hundred yuan in this half a day's work, if you collect firewood for a day during the day, and then pick it up in the market to sell it, you will be tired and your back and legs hurt, and you won't be able to earn a hundred yuan." The bamboo on the mountain is grown in the field, and it can be made into bamboo weaving when cut down, if the market is good, don't say that it is food and clothing, it is not impossible to make a small rich family. ”

Liang Chuan thought about it and said: "Bamboo weaving is a very good thing, every household can use it, but a bamboo weaving often takes many years, just rely on our Fengshan Xinghua this small place, if you want to rely on this craft to feed and dress is not a problem, but if you want to get rich, it is difficult, the market pattern is too small." ”

Everyone listened to Liang Chuan saying some inexplicable things again, they couldn't understand it, but what Liang Chuan said was clear-eyed, and it didn't look like he was talking nonsense.

Liang Chuan continued: "If this road is opened, the market will be oriented to the entire Great Song Dynasty, and we will make a production base here, so that there will really be hope of making a fortune." ”

The family was talking happily, and He Baozheng's voice came in outside the door, and the figure arrived before the sound came.

In order to encourage the peasants in the south to plant some northern crops and prevent the peasants from being impoverished by disasters in the south, the court domesticated the wheat from the north to plant in the south, and the domesticated wheat was extremely drought-resistant, the plant was short and the ears were large, and the growth period was short, which was suitable for spring sowing, but it was not as delicious as the wheat in the north. Somewhat similar to modern spring wheat. Growing this wheat was tax-free in the southern court.

Liang Chuan wanted to give them some suggestions for planting wheat, but after thinking about it, he was afraid that no one would believe him. Who would listen to a farmer who has never ploughed the land and toss his land casually? Practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, and before the actual agricultural results are produced, Liang Chuan has worn out his small mouth, and it is estimated that everyone will also laugh and will not take it seriously.

Liang Chuan greeted He Baozheng, and He Baozheng looked at Liang Chuan holding a dustpan in his hand, which seemed to be new.

"Didn't you chop wood today, and the dustpan in your hand was newly bought? How much is it, my family's wheat is almost bad after sifting last year, and I guess I will have to buy a new one this year. ”

"Firewood is going to be chopped, and of course there are other things to do! How much does this dustpan sell for at the market? ”

"It may cost 150 yuan, and if you kill it, you should be able to buy it for 120 yuan."

"Tsk." The price Li Erhua said may be their local price in Yong'an, but there are no people in Xinghua who know this craft. People leave their hometowns cheaply, things are expensive when they leave their hometowns, and it is naturally much more expensive to sell in Xinghua, and if they are sold in the north, it is estimated that it will be even more expensive.

Liang Chuan handed the dustpan to He Baozheng's hand and said, "Take it, I'll give it to you." ”

He Baozheng was stunned for a moment, didn't pick up the dustpan, and asked, "I'm afraid it's a new dustpan, what are you doing?" Specially bought to give it to me? ”

"I didn't buy this, it was made by our eldest sister Li Erhua?"

"Do it yourself?" He Baozheng was in disbelief, holding the dustpan and looking at it back and forth, and like Liang Chuan, he broke the country with his hands, and his mouth was amazed, but he didn't expect these two big girls who don't speak and are not conspicuous on weekdays to have this ability, alas, no wonder Liang Chuan, this kid, has such a good heart, and he also takes in these two sick girls. "This family is doing really well, just relying on this craft, life can get better and better, and there is no need to stare at the land every day to rely on the sky to eat."

"Yes, a few women in the family, when they are fine, I plan to let them all do this manual work, one person can do at least one a day, more than 100 yuan, and sell it, which is much better than farming. What about the one in your family, I'm thinking that if it's okay, you can also come over together to make this bamboo weaving, and when it's done, take it to my store to sell, and make your own money. Liang Chuan gave He Baozheng an idea.

As soon as He Baozhengfu heard Liang Chuan's suggestion, his heart was hot, yes, it is enough to clean up the land at home, and his mother-in-law will also manage it at home on weekdays, if he can learn this craft and make some bamboo weaving, he may earn more than he made in the field. But his heart suddenly cooled again, this kind of craft is generally not passed on, one more person will learn to eat less, there is an old saying that the apprentice starved to death of the master, and even this craft between the master and apprentice must be left in one hand, not to mention between their neighbors.

Liang Chuan saw that He Bao had a difficult face, and asked: "I said Baozheng, why are you still not happy to give you a way?" Is the lady of the family unhappy? Don't want to do manual work? Or do you think you don't make a lot of money from this job? ”

"If I really have to do it, then I will definitely tell my mother-in-law, I can't ask for it, but do you know that this kind of craft is generally not taught to others casually, have you asked Li Erhua if you have it, are you so sure that she is willing to teach this craft to everyone?"

"She will teach everyone, you don't have to worry about this, you are responsible for helping me organize people to come over, it is best to call over if you want to do this craft, and I will take away the bamboo weaving that I have made." You are responsible for doing it, and I am responsible for selling. I estimate that there is no problem with letting you do it, but if you want to sell it, it is estimated that one or two retail investors will not sell well, and it will be a waste of time to sell a few lots, if everyone does it together, sell it to me, and then I will sell it, so that everyone will also have a stable income! ”

"That's true!" He Baozheng was really happy at this moment and said, "Liang Chuan. . . He Baozheng thought about it for a while, and the person who called Liang Chuan's name and surname every day seemed a little angry, and changed his words: "San Lang!" How many people do you want to call me, I will help you call over, we He Lu is too poor, not that people are too lazy, but there is not much food in the field, you are really willing to let Li Erhua teach everyone this craft, I am the village to ensure that in the future, every household will do bamboo weaving only you one, if you learn the craft and want to stand on your own, regardless of the karma, pass me first! ”

Listening to this, Liang hummed, and then said in a blink of an eye: "He Baozheng, you still call me Liang Chuan, we'd better go our separate ways, and we don't get intimate with that!" ”

He Baozheng is also thick-skinned enough, and he smiled and said: "If you call too much, you will get used to it, every day Liang Chuan Liang Chuan screams like this, it doesn't sound good, and it's a raw point!" ”

Liang Chuan said: "Then it's up to you, you don't have to force the big guys, the craft has been learned, if you can carry it forward, break out of the world, that is also everyone's ability, if the bamboo weaving industry is done, we He Lu can also have more bowls to eat in the future, just don't be reluctant to teach others on the line, everyone learns together, one more way can go." ”

He Baozheng's mood at the moment is both excited and a little complicated, excited is that it can be regarded as a new way, the complicated thing is that God opened his eyes, there is a way of karma, saving this offspring, but leaving a way for the small village to live, but also people know how to repay their kindness, not only for themselves, but also for others without pity. I told him that if I could, I would definitely change this poor situation for a good time, who is not poor and afraid, but I didn't expect him to really put it into practice.

In the evening of that day, Zhao Jinyu came to Liang Chuan, and when Liang Chuan saw Zhao Jinyu coming happily, he knew that it must be the carpenter from the new store who had done a good job.
