Wang Laoshi carried two bundles of hemp rope on his back and more than a dozen pairs of straw sandals to the Bazaar of Fugui Villa.

His family lived in a ravine fifty miles away.

The hemp rope that the family had saved for a long time was originally going to go to the county seat to sell it.

I heard that Fugui Villa has opened a market, and the price is fair, and you can directly exchange for grain, which is more cost-effective than buying grain in the county.

Wang Laoshi is not a person who is good at making decisions.

Just by his nickname.

He thought about it for several days, and saw with his own eyes that the people of the same village carried wild meat to Fugui Villa to exchange food and returned home, so he made up his mind.

The night before, I started on my way.

Wearing the stars and the moon, I finally arrived at the mountain market the next day.

It is said that the market will not be until the evening, and it will be the most lively after the displaced people have started working.

People also jokingly call the bazaar a night market.

When Wang Laoshi came, it was still early, and he was very glad that he finally didn't miss today's evening market.

The eldest girl followed him, so she didn't listen to what she said, so she had to follow to learn more.

Wang honestly couldn't resist his daughter, so he could only let her follow.

When he arrived at the bazaar, he told his daughter, "Don't look around, don't walk around." ”

Wang Laoshi's eldest queen, Yuan Niang, is full of curiosity about everything in the villa.

She cautiously surveyed the people around her.

Everyone speaks the same dialect and twitters......

Some people have excitement and anticipation on their faces, some people look apprehensive, and some people are numb......

Wang Yuanniang has learned very little and knows even less, she relied on instinct to judge that it should not be the first time for someone with an excited expression.

People with apprehensive expressions should be the same as her, coming here for the first time.

Everything is unknown, so apprehensive.

As for those with numb expressions, maybe they don't have hope for today's dinner market.

She whispered, "Dad, I saw several people selling hemp rope and straw sandals just like us. Can we sell our hemp rope and straw sandals? ”

Wang Laoshi knows if his goods can be sold.

He sat down on the stone, rubbed his face, and said uncertainly, "I think I can sell it!" ”

The uncertain tone made Wang Yuanniang's heart cold.

If you can't get food, your family will be cut off.

She touched her stomach, she hadn't eaten three meals in a row, and only drank water.

It's going to make your stomach feel tight.

She nervously looked at her own goods, and then at the goods of other houses.

She once studied weaving for a few days with a master in the town.

The master said that she had spirituality.

She didn't really understand what spirituality was, she only knew that whenever it was something that needed to be knitted, she always did it faster and better than anyone else.

Today's hemp rope is basically rubbed by her and her mother, and her hands are almost broken.

The hemp rope of her family is tight and delicate.

She cheered herself up, and her own hemp rope would definitely be sold smoothly.

Straw sandals, also made by her.

Her father, Wang Lao, can also weave straw shoes, and has been knitting them for many years. It's not as good as a beginner like her.

As the person with the best weaving skills in the family, she decisively took over the responsibility of weaving straw shoes.

After many days, I was mowing the grass, sifting the grass, and drying the grass......

Finally, I made up more than a dozen pairs of straw sandals to catch up with today's market.

She would love to check out the stalls opposite.

On the other side, she was weaving baskets with bamboo strips, and she wanted to see more if she could learn it.

There were also people weaving with hemp rope, and she was curious and wanted to learn.

But her father warned her not to move around.

She suppressed her inner impulses, and she was ready to move.

Just as she was about to speak, a group of people came from afar, looking imposing.

Han Qizong is not what it used to be.

Wearing a thin cotton robe, a pair of soap boots, a wooden hairpin carved with flowers and plants, and a sachet around his waist, he was full of spirit.

He has a lot of work, not to mention three times of money.

He took a group of men to the bazaar and looked left and right.

The man set up a bench on the side and shouted, "Buy hemp rope, and everyone who has hemp rope will come here to line up." It's okay to exchange food for money. ”

Rumble!

A group of hemp rope sellers, with their goods, all poured over.

Wang Yuanniang was very anxious, "Dad, the hemp rope purchased over there seems to be someone from Fugui Villa." Dad, let's go. ”

Wang honestly looked honest, "There are straw sandals to buy......

"Then, then I'll go to the queue to sell hemp rope, and my father is guarding the straw sandals, okay?" Wang Yuanniang took the initiative to take over the matter.

Wang honestly looked at the long queue, and his heart was a little weak. The girl took the initiative to ask for it, but he couldn't ask for it.

So, he said, "Go ahead!" Line up well and don't get into trouble with people. ”

Wang Yuanniang was already impatient to carry two bundles of hemp rope, and said a little perfunctorily: "Dad, don't worry, I won't conflict with people." I sold the hemp rope and came back. ”

She was so fast that she ran to the back of the line and was excited.

I was worried that my hemp rope would not be sold, but I didn't expect that the next moment, the villa would take the initiative to buy hemp rope.

She was curious about what the villa was doing with so much hemp rope.

"Of course, it's for burlap bags. The villa is so big, there are many places where you need to use burlap bags. This side buys hemp rope all year round. ”

Obviously, someone has the same question as Wang Yuanniang, but they are bolder than Wang Yuanniang, and they directly ask the people around them.

Someone asked, and someone answered enthusiastically.

"Sackcloth Pocket, what's that?"

"Haven't seen it? I haven't seen it, and I haven't seen it either. It's almost like a cloth pocket! ”

"Look, are there burlap sacks on the ox cart?"

Several ox carts approached slowly, and on top of them were bags of grain.

The bag, which is woven with hemp rope, is commonly known as a burlap bag.

The linen pockets produced by Nirvana are all of a unified system and standard size.

One bag is a hundred catties of grain.

"Your pockets are full of food!"

"So much food, how good it would be if it were all mine!"

Wang Yuanniang, like everyone else, stared at the slowly approaching ox cart.

The difference is that while others think about food, she thinks: Can I weave sacks? Does Nirvana accept sacks? Would you like to ask later?

The team began to move.

At the front of the line, Han Qizong sat behind the table, he was in charge of counting and keeping accounts, and paying for food.

Check the quality of the hemp rope, weigh the work, and have their own guys doing it.

The quality of hemp rope is uneven, and the thickness is different.

If it is too rough and not tight enough, it will naturally be depressed.

"Five catties of rice, three catties of wheat. Next ......"

Han Qizong picked up the pen to register, and casually swept the next one in front of him, hey, it turned out to be a big girl.

Finally it was Wang Yuanniang's turn, she was very nervous and worried.

The guy was checking the hemp rope she brought.

This is the best quality hemp rope seen in today's market.

The dude was satisfied and weighed ......

Han Qizong took notes and asked, "Do you want grain or copper money?" ”

Wang Yuanniang hurriedly said: "Want food? ”

Han Qizong said again: "There is rice and wheat, what do you want?" ”

"Half rice and half wheat, is that okay?"

Han Qizong glanced up at her, nodded, picked up the pen and wrote, and shouted: "Five catties of rice, five catties of wheat." ”

At the same time, he handed her a wooden sign with the number of numbers on it, and motioned for her to go to the ox cart to collect the grain.

Wang Yuanniang didn't leave immediately, she held the wooden card tightly, and she was extremely worried in her heart.

Seeing that she wasn't leaving, Han Qizong asked, "Is there any more questions?" ”

"I, I, I just want to ask, do you want burlap bags?"

"You're asking if we're going to hire people here who weave burlap bags? Go to the second courtyard of the villa, where people are recruiting. If you feel like you're smart, you can give it a try. ”

"Recruit, recruit?"

"Yes, recruit!"

Someone urged, waiting impatiently.

Han Qizong waved his hand at Wang Yuanniang, "If you have any questions, go to the villa and ask, there are still people waiting behind you." ”

"Oh!" Wang Yuanniang hurriedly left, taking the wooden card to get the food.

She carried ten catties of grain on her back and returned to Daddy Wang's honest side.

The straw sandals were on the ground and remained untouched.

Wang honestly asked her, "How much grain did you change?" ”

Wang Yuanniang replied honestly.

Hearing that ten catties of grain had been exchanged, Wang Laoshi had a sincere and satisfied smile on his face.

Wang Yuanniang hesitated to speak, "Dad, I listened to the steward, the villa is recruiting people to make pockets, I want to try, do you think it's okay?" ”

The king is honest!

He didn't have an idea.

He scratched his head, "Do you want to go?" ”

Wang Yuanniang nodded heavily, "I want to try it, if I can be recruited, I heard that it will include food and accommodation." ”

As soon as he heard that Bao was eating and lodging, Wang Laoshi suddenly had an idea, "Then you can try it." Don't panic! It's just making things up, and it's hard for you. ”

Wang Yuanniang smiled, "Thank you, Dad!" ”

She was as happy as a little bird, leaving everything behind and running as fast as she could to the lodge.

At this time, she did not feel hungry at all, but felt full of strength.

She couldn't find a place, but when she saw a lot of people lined up, she found a place.

There are men and women, everyone is here to apply, and they all want to find a job in the villa with food and housing.

An old lady came out of the yard and said, "Come to me who can weave, first thirty people, and try their hands and feet together." ”

Many people stood up, and Wang Yuanniang also stood up.

Everyone crowded around the eldest mother.

The eldest lady was condescending, pointing her fingers and counting them one by one.

"You, you, and you...... All the people I ordered came with me. ”

The eldest lady ordered thirty people in one breath and led everyone into the house to try their skills.

Wang Yuanniang is also among them.

Each person was given a little bit of hemp rope.

The requirement is simple, it is to weave.

It doesn't matter, there is a demonstration of knitting girls, and everyone will follow along.

At this time, who did well and who did not......

Whoever is nimble with hands and feet, who is ingenious, can be seen at a glance, and cannot make mistakes.

If something goes wrong, it can only be said that the hands and feet are not spiritual enough.

Wang Yuanniang stared at the hands of the weaving lady, and then tried to weave herself.

The master said that she had spirituality in weaving, and he was not wrong.

Thirty people, Wang Yuanniang was the first person to start knitting, which instantly attracted the attention of the eldest mother.

The eldest lady took a closer look, hey, this girl is fast, and she is still decent, and she can go to work after two or three days of training.

Not bad! Not bad!

Wang Yuanniang didn't know that she had passed the assessment.

She is immersed in weaving, and she just wants to knit faster and better than others, so that she can be photographed by the mountain villa and stay to eat and live.

------Off topic------

The manuscript is gone!

There are only two shifts today.

The ingots are playing outside, and there is no manuscript to save, so they can only play while taking time to code words.

Boom......

What a miserable ingot.

Go home in the evening and resume the third watch tomorrow.
