Jiang Wei held four eggs in his hands with a smile on his face.

"This is Aunt Song forced on me, saying that my sister sent pork to their house this afternoon, and I sent fish grass just now, so you must bring me a few eggs."

After Zhou Huihui took the egg, put it in a bamboo basket, and said with a smile: "Cook and eat tomorrow, go wash your hands and eat, the food made by Xiao Nian looks delicious." ”

Since Jiang Xiaonian cooked, Jiang Wei has eaten more fragrantly, and the Jiang family has a little oil and water in their stomachs for a while, and their sallow face before is a lot ruddy, and they look energetic.

After eating, Jiang Xiaonian thought about it and decided to communicate with Jiang Mengliang about the practice of bamboo plates.

She came to Jiang Mengliang's room, Jiang Mengliang was weaving a bamboo basket in the room, and Zhou Huihui was sitting on the bed doing needlework.

"Dad, I've been thinking about a question these days." She walked in and said.

Jiang Mengliang and Zhou Huihui raised their heads at the same time, looked at her with interest and asked, "Xiao Nian always likes to use his brain, what are you thinking about these days?" ”

Jiang Xiaonian walked over and took Jiang Mengliang's hand and walked to his room, saying, "Dad, you come with me, I drew a few things." ”

Zhou Huihui looked at the back of them leaving, very curious, and followed.

Jiang Xiaonian's room had nothing but a wooden bed and a dilapidated wardrobe, and the plate patterns she drew were next to the wardrobe.

The painting is a little crooked, but the general outline can still be seen.

She deliberately shook her hands a few times when she painted, she didn't want to look too little like a child.

After all, he is only six years old, and if he draws like an adult, he will really become a master.

"Dad, I've been thinking about it for the past two days when I've been washing vegetables, it would be nice if there were this kind of bamboo plate for washed wild vegetables, so I drew it and wanted you to make a few for me."

Then she pointed to another trick and said, "And I see the peach trees in the mountains blooming, and after a while there may be peaches to eat, and I want to have a plate for peaches." ”

When she spoke, she spoke in a coquettish tone, like a little daughter asking for a toy from her father.

Jiang Mengliang looked at the painting on the ground carefully, and said with a smile: "My good daughter wants it, and my father will make it for you, but this thing is different from a bamboo basket, and my father has to think about how to weave it." ”

Jiang Xiaonian showed a happy expression, clapped his hands and laughed and jumped: "Okay! Will Daddy do it for me tomorrow? ”

Jiang Mengliang saw that she was happy, and he became happy, patting his chest and saying, "Okay, Dad will do it for you tomorrow!" ”

The spring rain was always very gentle, and although it rained all night, it did not alarm anyone.

Early the next morning, Jiang Mengliang looked at the drizzle and moved all the bamboo strips cut in the courtyard into the room.

The patterns of the bamboo plates in Jiang Xiaonian's room were all engraved in his mind, and in order to fulfill his daughter's wish, he started to work early in the morning.

The size of the plate is much smaller, and there is no need for such wide bamboo strips, so Jiang Mengliang divided the previous bamboo strips into two and began to study the weaving method of the plate.

Because of the rain, Jiang Xiaonian couldn't go out, so he had to squat next to Jiang Mengliang and watch him weave plates, and mention it when necessary.

Of course, she gave advice to Jiang Mengliang from the perspective of a child.

The father and daughter tried to weave while communicating, and before they knew it, after a long time, Jiang Mengliang finally made up a plate pattern that Jiang Xiaonian wanted.

She took the delicate plate in her hand and looked left and right, and exclaimed, "It's so beautiful!" Daddy's hands are so skillful. ”

Jiang Mengliang is very experienced in weaving things with bamboo strips, and the feeling in his hands is also very accurate, as long as Jiang Xiaonian says a rough idea, he can weave it according to her ideas.

At this time, he was also very happy to see his daughter's satisfied smiling face, and said, "Does Xiao Nian like it?" ”

"Like! Daddy, give me a few more tricks! ”

I got a lot of experience when weaving the first plate, and the next weaving was much smoother, and in less than an hour, another bamboo plate with another pattern appeared in front of Jiang Xiaonian.

Jiang Xiaonian couldn't put it down while holding the plate, grinning and said, "Daddy, the plate you made is so beautiful, if you sell it in the town, there will definitely be many people who will buy it." ”

Jiang Mengliang heard her casual words, and couldn't help but think, yes, such a beautiful plate, maybe someone in the town will buy it.

This plate is much smaller than bamboo baskets and bamboo baskets, it is less labor-saving to weave, and the time used is shorter.

When he had this idea, he was very excited, and the speed of his hand weaving was much faster.

In the afternoon, he knitted several more patterns, looked at such a delicate plate in front of him, and nodded with satisfaction.

Jiang Xiaonian looked at him nodding from time to time, and knew that this was his heart.

Early the next morning, the sky was still a little overcast, and it did not completely escape from yesterday's drizzle.

Jiang Mengliang's face was unusually bright, he took a few plates from last night's work, plus the bamboo baskets and bamboo baskets he had woven for a while, and rushed to the town.

He pushed the cart and went to the grocery store.

"The boss is doing a prosperous business, so I brought some bamboo baskets and baskets." He greeted as he walked in.

"Oh, it's you, don't you usually come once a month?" The boss was a little confused.

Jiang Mengliang touched the back of his head embarrassedly, and said with a smile: "Originally, I came once a month, but I have researched a new thing in the past few days, and I want to show it to the boss to see if I can accept it." ”

As he spoke, he took out several plates stacked on top of each other and placed them on the counter.

"This is a fruit bowl, this is a vegetable pot, this kind of bamboo can drain the water after washing vegetables and fruits, and it is lightweight, and children can also hold it, I made up several patterns, I want to see if the boss can accept it here."

The boss had a surprised expression on his face, took the plate and looked through it, nodded and said, "It's very delicate and beautiful, and we have never sold bamboo plates in our store." ”

Just as he was looking through it, he happened to meet a woman who came to buy daily necessities, and after seeing this bamboo plate, he asked curiously: "Boss, is this also for sale?" I've never seen it before, what do you do? ”

The boss happily repeated what Jiang Mengliang said just now, and added some of his thoughts.

The woman liked the plate very much, and after some bargaining, she bought it for six cents.

As soon as the plate was taken, one was sold, and the boss was very happy, and the first step was smooth, and it is estimated that it will sell more smoothly in the future.

In the end, the bamboo plate was purchased by the boss at the price of three cents a piece, and the price of the bamboo basket was the same, and the boss also promised that the bamboo plate made in the future could be brought here, and how much was collected.
