What happened yesterday had no effect on Ye Hao, and the next day, she was busy again, either going up the mountain with her sister to pick wild flowers, or digging wild vegetables together.

Except for eating and sleeping, when he is almost idle, he has no time to think about Ye Hanyue at all.

The busy but comfortable days passed in a blink of an eye, and on this day, Ye Hao did not go out, but after eating early in the morning, she entered the studio to get busy.

When I went in, I closed the door of the house, blocking my sister's curious gaze.

At the end of the morning, Ye Xing came to the door of the house on her feet, and said while knocking on the door: "Sister, the third uncle is here, and my mother called you over." ”

When Ye Hao in the room heard this, she waved her hand to put away the things on the table that should not be seen, opened the door and walked out. I came to the main house with my sister.

Xing Sanyi, who was originally sitting on the edge of the kang, saw her and immediately stood up excitedly.

Holding the things in his hand, he said to her: "Zhen'er, I have tried many times in the past few days, and finally made this bamboo mat." ”

"I'll bring it to you right away, take a look, is this thing still successful?"

Ye Hao walked over and said with a smile: "Don't hold it, spread the bamboo mat on the kang." ”

"Good!" Xing San responded, quickly laid out the bamboo mat that was just suitable for one person, and laid it on the kang, looking at her nervously and expectantly.

Ye Hao took a few steps forward, her eyes swept over the bamboo mat from top to bottom, and she reached out and touched it a few times, after a few breaths.

She nodded, smiled and exclaimed: "It seems that the third uncle is indeed an expert in doing this, I just said it once before, you made it, and you did it so well." ”

"Smooth and without burrs, the width of each bamboo strip is basically the same, and the weaving is also tight, which is very good!"

Not to mention that Xing San was happy when he heard this, even Xing on the other side of the kang couldn't help but be happy in his heart.

looked at his daughter and asked, "Then Zhen'er, you see such a mat, if you sell it, how much is the right amount?" Is it possible to sell for a price? ”

Ye Hao's eyes looked the bamboo mat up and down a few more times, and she muttered without speaking.

Xing San next to him asked a little nervously: "Zhen'er, you said that this bamboo mat, I sell five wen, no, is it good to pay three wen?" ”

Seeing Ye Hao shaking his head, a look of disappointment appeared on his face, isn't Sanwen good?

Also, a straw mat can only be sold for a penny, although this bamboo mat is more troublesome to make, the three pennies are a bit much, so two pennies are always okay, right?

As soon as the thought flashed through his mind, he heard Ye Hao say: "Sanwen? This is too little, at least eight or ten cents! ”

"Bawen? Ten Wen? This... Wouldn't that be too much? Xing San was stunned.

Ye Hao turned her head to look at him and asked, "How many bamboo mats of this size can the third uncle make in a day?" ”

Hearing the question, Xing San quickly came back to his senses, frowned and recalled: "I'm not very skilled at what I do now, and I can make at most one a day." ”

"When you become proficient, you should be faster, two a day is not a problem, and if you are faster, you may be able to make three."

Ye Hao nodded and said, "Then according to the current calculation of making one a day, there are only thirty mats in thirty days a month." ”

"Each one sells for three yuan, and you can only earn ninety yuan a month, which is too little."

Xing San's face showed a hint of satisfaction: "Ninety yuan, it's a lot, I can buy a lot of catties of food, save some food, enough for my family to eat for a month." ”

Ye Hao smiled: "Have you ever thought about it, this bamboo mat is only easy to sell when it is hot, and at most it can be sold for four or five months." ”

"I've just calculated the amount of money you can get every day, but you still have to go out and sell mats, right? It's going to be a few more days late, and it's not that much of the money you actually get. ”

"After this period of time, what will the third uncle do for a living? When will I be able to save enough money to marry my daughter-in-law? ”

"This .....," Xing San couldn't answer.

To tell the truth, he didn't think about it so long-term at all, as long as he could earn the money to buy food, he would be satisfied with the green and yellow days in front of him first.

But he didn't want to, but Ye Hao didn't want to, if the third uncle couldn't make money, his mother would be worried, and Xing Da would definitely grind the old woman to come to the door again.

So even if it's just to make her family's life more comfortable, she also wants her third uncle to earn the money to marry her daughter-in-law.

"Did anyone see this when you made this mat?" Ye Hao then asked another question.

Xing San shook his head: "No, these are all done by me in the backyard alone......"

In the middle of the sentence, he suddenly remembered something, and said: "But my father has helped me a lot, and my father has many years of experience, so he should be doing this now." ”

Ye Hao nodded clearly, it was similar to what she thought, then it depends on the development of things, whether it will be as she thinks.

Xing Shi next to him couldn't help but hear this, and asked his daughter again: "Zhen'er, this bamboo mat sells for eight yuan, can it really be sold?" ”

"Of course not, if you only rely on such a mat, it would be good if you could buy five or six wen a piece."

After Ye Hao said this, without waiting for her mother to continue asking, she walked to the wooden box on the other side of the kang and took out some strips of rags.

said to her: "Mother, you put these rags like this..."

After briefly explaining her thoughts, Xing Shi listened to it and said with a smile: "This is simple, I can figure it out in a while." ”

Turning her head, she took the sewing basket on the other side of the kang, lowered her head and began to get busy, and in just a quarter of an hour, she sewed a cloth edge on the edge of the bamboo mat as her daughter said.

Spread the finished bamboo mat on the kang again: "Look at it, am I doing it right?" ”

Ye Hao smiled: "What else can I do with my mother?" ”

patted her mother's ass a little, and she looked at Xing San again: "Third uncle, take a look, which one of these bamboo mats looks better than the previous ones?" ”

Xing San looked at the bamboo mat in front of him, which was obviously much more beautiful, compared the other mat he brought, and replied, "It's beautiful now!" ”

"Zhen'er, can you buy so much more money just by doing this?"

He still couldn't believe it, he just sewed a side, it looked better, isn't it still a bamboo mat?

Ye Hao smiled: "The third uncle can try to sell both of them when he goes back, see which one sells well, and then make a decision." ”

"Good!" Xing San nodded.

The matter was settled, and it was noon, so Xing didn't allow his younger brother to refuse, so he left him for lunch, and when he left, he let him take a lot of food and a bag of rags.

These were sent by Ye Hao when she went to the town to buy cloth and shop work before.

This time, Xing San only brought two bamboo mats, mainly because he was worried that he was doing something wrong, and wanted Ye Hao to take a look.

At the gate, he said to the Xing family: "Sister, I'll come and send you a few mats in two days, go back, don't send them." ”

When the words fell, he didn't give a few people a chance to refuse, ran out of the gate quickly, stood outside the door, and waved at a few people with a smile.
