"Miss Qi Ling, I still think that two hundred copper plates are too much, and this money is a little hot to collect, and it is difficult to sit still."

"It just so happened that my son and I cut out a lot of bamboo strips yesterday, so I made a few more small ones, plus all the ones I made on weekdays and brought them to you."

The old man has been frank and unrestrained all his life, and after yesterday he promised a bamboo basket to collect Qi Ling's two hundred copper plates, he felt a little uneasy no matter how he thought about it, and he couldn't sleep when he thought about it at night.

After thinking about it, I finally decided to make up more for Qi Ling, the big ones are not easy to make up, so I just made up some more small ones, which can be regarded as a piece of my heart, so I got up early this morning, and I didn't even care about eating, so I started working.

Before lunch, he made up the big ones for Qi Ling, and the rest of the time made up some small ones, and added them to the previous number, making up a whole number of sixty, and then sent them to Qi Ling.

Qi Ling got up and took out a small bamboo basket on the rack car, took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, this small one was only the size of a palm, and it was very exquisite.

The patterns woven on it are all flowers, birds, insects and beasts, lifelike, and specially made a small handle, not to mention how exquisite.

Such a small bamboo basket, put into modern times, is a proper handicraft, one at least costs a few dozen yuan, but I didn't expect this old man to give himself so many for nothing.

Qi Ling felt a little embarrassed, and wanted to open his mouth to give the old man more money, but before he opened his mouth, he was blocked by Gu Dong's words.

"The owner, you must not give my father more money, otherwise, I think he will not dare to sleep for more than half a month when he goes back, and two hundred copper plates and a bamboo basket, the price is high enough, we are already content."

The old man also nodded, agreeing with what his son said.

"Indeed, Miss Qi Ling, you can't be greedy, you are already taking care of me by giving me so much money, I will help you make up some more small ones if I have nothing to do in the future, and I don't charge money, this small one can be used to put some things, and it can also be used as an ornament, it's okay."

Hearing him say this, Qi Ling hurriedly interrupted him.

"Uncle, don't say that, you are making money with your ability, and no one can be blushing, so be it! You can indeed make up some more small ones in the future, and I will take them all away when the time comes, and the price will be set by you. ”

Qi Ling saw that the workmanship of this small bamboo basket was very delicate just now, so he had an idea.

The Flower Dynasty Festival is almost here, when the time comes, I will hire some people to set up tables all over the street, put some flowers in this small bamboo basket, and sell these small flower baskets when the time comes!

When people reach the solar term, they will always be generous, as long as they control not to set the price too expensive, and make the flower basket look better, there is no worry that no one will buy it.

And people have the mentality of comparison, when a man gives a woman this kind of flower basket, other men will naturally follow.

Just one day of this flower festival, maybe you can sell thousands, which is also very profitable.

Moreover, Qi Ling's purpose this time was not to make money for himself, but to take into account other things.

Every household in Gujia Village has elderly people who can weave bamboo baskets, and when the time comes, they will put away what they have in their hands, so that they can earn some money to supplement their families.

And when the time comes, you can hire someone to sell flower baskets, or you can hire some women in the village, and give them some commission when you sell one, which not only helps the villagers, but also stimulates their enthusiasm.

Qi Ling felt that even if he couldn't make much money in the end, it would be a good thing to be able to seek some benefits for the simple villagers like the old man.

Hearing her say this, the old man was a little confused.

"Girl, what do you want so many small bamboo baskets for, even if it looks good, you don't need so much?"

Qi Ling shook his head, after all, the plan was only a prototype, and it was not easy to explain so much to him now, so he could only tell him roughly.

"Don't worry, uncle, I'll take these bamboo baskets, they're useful, you can rest assured, go back and weave as much as possible, I'll take them all."

The old man saw that she was very confident, and he didn't want to ask too much, so he could only nod, but in his heart, he decided to ask Qi Ling less for some money when the time came.

Qi Ling called Gu Jinfeng over and asked him to help Gu Dong unload all the bamboo baskets, while he ran to the house and took out the money.

Because 1,200 copper plates were too much, Qi Ling exchanged them for one tael of silver, and handed the silver to the old man along with the remaining 200 copper plates.

When the old man received it, he was shocked by the heavy weight.

He actually made so much money after only doing half a day's work, which he couldn't believe before.

After Gu Dong finished his work, he walked over with a smiling face and teased his father.

"Or my father has the ability, I work hard a day only more than 40 copper plates, my daughter-in-law, now working in the workshop, can have 60 a day, you are good, only do this half a day, you make so much money."

"Awesome! Terrible! It is really worthy of being the pillar of our family, and in the future, my mother and I will have a daughter-in-law, but we will have to serve you well. ”

Turning bamboo into gold?

When Qi Ling heard it, she laughed, she felt that it was a pity that Gu Dong didn't talk about cross talk, every sentence he said was full of stalks, which was very interesting.

Gu Jinfeng was also amused by his words.

Hearing him say this, the old man is quite complacent, too, no old man will be as capable as him, he is old and can still make money.

And if Qi Ling really accepts his small bamboo basket in the future, he can earn more, and then he is even more capable.

"It's good to know, what will your father and I tell you to do in the future, your legs and feet will be diligent, if you are obedient, I will give you some change to spend."

Gu Dong saw that he still had to give himself change to spend, and he couldn't smile a little bitterly.

"Dad, don't brag here, when you think about it when you get home, you know, this money will be handed over to my mother, if you can still leave a copper plate on your body, thank God."

Haha, it turns out that this old man is still afraid of his daughter-in-law, Qi Ling didn't expect that when he was eating at home yesterday, looking at the way he spoke, there were still some things to say.

Hearing that his son exposed himself in front of outsiders, the old man felt a little annoyed and angry.

"You still say that I, don't you also go home and give your salary to your daughter-in-law, how can you still have the courage to say that you are old and me."

Gu Dong retorted with a hippie smile.

"Dad, have you ever heard of a sentence, dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, the son of a mouse will make holes, I learned from you, this is called the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked!"

As soon as these words came out, Qi Ling and Gu Jinfeng laughed directly.
