The geographical location of Changjin City is not prominent, but there is one resource that is quite good.

That's the trees.

So the timber market is lively.

As soon as Yao Rong stepped inside, a heat wave and noisy voices rushed towards her.

She stood in the doorway for a moment before she could get used to the sweltering heat and walked inside.

Because there was only one thing to do to buy things in the timber market today, there was quite plenty of time, so Yao Rong walked around unhurriedly.

They sell everything here.

furniture, wood carving, wood products, and even wood raw materials.

However, after looking around, Yao Rong also saw some problems.

Whether it is furniture, wood carving, or wood products, the styles are relatively old and not competitive in the market. In other words, it is difficult to sell things here, and basically only local citizens come to buy furniture when they buy it.

It seems that the situation is similar to what she thought before: Changjin City has rich timber resources, but there is no way to transform this resource into its core competitiveness.

To put it bluntly, there is a lack of a pillar industry related to timber.

Yao Rong turned his feet and walked towards a lumber shop in the northwest corner.

When she was wandering around, she had already remembered the layout of the place, the timber shop called "Muyi" was not large, and the location was a little off-the-beaten, but the variety of tools was the most complete.

At this time, "Muyi" timber shop.

The little boss Zhao Brown shook the pu fan boringly, got up to greet a guest when he came, and continued to be paralyzed when no guest came.

Call him the little boss, one is that he is not very old, he has just turned twenty, and the other is that this store was opened by his father, some time ago his father accidentally twisted his waist while moving goods, and he was rushed to see the store when he was idle.

Sitting and sitting, Zhao Brown was a little sleepy, usually there were basically no guests at this point, he stretched a big lazy waist, and was about to close his eyes and take a nap for a while, Yao Rong walked in: "Boss, I want to buy some tools." ”

"Oh, the tools are all there, you see what you want, take it yourself. If you can't find it, just let me know. Zhao Brown said casually.

I thought that this guest was just going to buy some household tools, but looking at the tools she picked, it was clear that they were all tools needed by professional carpenters.

Zhao Brown was worried that she wouldn't be picky, so he got up and took a closer look, and let out a light "huh".

Good fellow, it's he who looks away.

"Connoisseur." He boasted.

Yao Rong smiled: "I just want to save some money." ”

The tools she picked did not overlap much in terms of functionality, and the price of a single product was not the highest, but the cost performance was absolutely not to be said.

"Are you going to buy it for carpentry?"

"Sort of."

"Sort of?"

"I want to try to make some wooden toys myself."

That's right, the industry that Yao Rong chose to cultivate is the toy industry.

At present, the domestic toy industry has just started, most of them are plastic toys, Yao Rong started with wooden toys first, because she has this craftsmanship, and ......

Isn't Changjin City lacking a pillar industry based on timber? As long as she takes the first step and writes a complete project plan, it is easy to get a loan from the bank to start a business.

Zhao Brown was puzzled: "Buying so many tools, do you have to do a lot?" ”

"Isn't that trying to start a small business?"

Zhao Brown suddenly came to his senses: "That sister, in addition to tools, you must also buy wood, you look at my family's wood, it is cheap and affordable." ”

He began to talk about his own wood.

Yao Rong listened while looking around at his shop, and suddenly, she pointed to a snakeskin bag full of things piled up in the corner: "Is there wood in there?" ”

Zhao Brown said with concern: "Those are all flawed or damaged wood, and there are some leftovers. ”

Yao Rong immediately said: "I want to buy this bag." ”

What if it's flawed or broken?

As long as it works.

Well, mainly because they're cheap.

Zhao Brown was stunned, and when he caught a glimpse of Yao Rong's clothes, he understood: "No problem." These were meant to be dealt with at a low price, but I'll make it cheaper for you, and if you want to buy something next time, remember to visit my store more often. ”

He lowered his head to settle the account and quickly reported a number to Yao Rong.

Yao Rong calculated for a while, knowing that Zhao Brown did give a great discount, and said with a smile: "Thank you, when my business grows big in the future, I will definitely give priority to purchasing goods from your house." ”

Zhao Palmle said: "That's great." If you come to buy wood next time, I will bring the toys you made by the way, and if the price is right, I will buy them and give them to my nephew. ”

In these words, Zhao Brown still left room for it.

If it's suitable, he'll buy it, and if it's not suitable, of course, forget it.

Yao Rong smiled, stuffed the tools into his cloth bag, and walked over to carry the bag of defective wood.

Seeing that her body was so thin, Zhao Brown was originally worried that she wouldn't be able to carry it, so he was ready to take a hand next to her, but found that Yao Rong easily carried it.

Alas.

It seems that this eldest sister is used to hard work.

"Slow down, sister."

Yao Rong waved his hand to Zhao Brown and walked out.

Jiang Fanyue only took two hours to finish the homework assigned by the teacher.

If she had free time before, she would definitely hold a newspaper or a language book and a history book to read, but the night before yesterday she had decided that she would never spend her free time reading again, so after sitting on the small bench for a while, Jiang Fanyue got up, changed the new clothes on her body into old clothes, took a snakeskin bag, and went out to pick up the garbage.

When she picked it up, she picked it up and Yao Rong came back.

Yao Rong saw the thin figure dragging the snakeskin bag from a distance.

Jiang Fanyue carried a snakeskin bag in one hand and pliers in the other, her head was always lowered, looking around, catching traces of waste products.

Finally saw a can, Jiang Fanyue rushed over, picked it up with pliers, and threw it into the bag.

As soon as she wanted to continue, she saw Yao Rong pushing a bicycle and walked in front of her: "Yueyue, let's go home." ”

"Mom, you're back!" Jiang Fanyue looked at the bag of wood tied to the back seat of the car, and trotted to follow Yao Rong.

Yao Rong took the waste products in her hand and asked, "Do you want to sit in the car and I'll push you away?" ”

"Don't."

"Tired or not?"

"Not tired." I'm used to picking it up.

"I bought a pound of pork, and we'll eat a little more hearty tonight."

"Okay."

The two walked through the field road, and when they were about to return home, Yao Rong said: "Yueyue, we will not collect waste products in the future." ”

Jiang Fanyue was stunned and asked, "Why?" ”

Yao Rong pushed open the door, parked the bicycle, and untied the bag of wood: "I can't make much money collecting scrap, I feel much better recently, and I want to change to another job, do you say it's okay." ”

Jiang Fanyue nodded, no objection.

"You don't have to pick up scrap anymore." Yao Rong scooped water to help her wash her hands.

Jiang Fanyue's eyes widened slightly, and her reaction was much bigger than just now: "I think it's good to pick up waste." ”

As long as she keeps picking up waste every day, her family can earn a little more. Adding up to a lot, the family can eat one meat dish and a few eggs every week.

But if she didn't pick up waste, she would have to spend the family's money all the time, and she wouldn't be able to help her mother at all.

"I need your help with my new job."

Jiang Fanyue then asked what Yao Rong's new job was.

Yao Rong sat down directly, poured out a small part of the wood, picked out a few pieces of wood of a more suitable size, and took out the tools from the cloth bag: "You go cook first, and you'll know when dinner is ready." ”

There are many wooden toys.

For example, building blocks.

For example, puzzle toys. That is, tangrams, Huarong Dao and other toys that have been handed down from ancient times.

For example, puzzle toys. For example, Luban locks belong to this category.

Of course, there are also ornaments in various forms.

Yao Rong plans to make a tangram for Jiang Fanyue now.

This is not difficult to do, after selecting the appropriate thickness of wood, Yao Rong began to cut with a saw.

Her hands are so steady that she hardly needs to draw lines, and she just cuts them into smooth straight lines by feeling. It only took about ten minutes for all seven boards to be cut.

After the most time-consuming step is done, the subsequent polishing will be easier.

Because this was a gift to Jiang Fanyue, Yao Rong lowered his head and patiently polished each board with polishing skin, so that all sides were smooth enough.

Jiang Fanyue endured the curiosity in her heart, and finally finished cooking dinner, she put the dishes on the plate, and even forgot to extinguish the fire, and hurriedly ran out.

Yao Rong had just finished polishing the last board.

She motioned to Jiang Fanyue to spread out her palms and put all seven boards on Jiang Fanyue's palms: "The time is relatively short, so I can only make a tangram for you first." I'll make you a Luban lock tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, when I find the right material, I will make you a new bamboo dragonfly. The day after tomorrow......"

Before he finished speaking, looking at Jiang Fanyue's reddened eyes and the tip of his nose, Yao Rong's smile turned into helplessness: "Don't you like it?" ”

Jiang Fanyue shook her head vigorously and said incoherently: "No, I like it very much, I like it very much, I like it too much." ”

Yao Rong rubbed her hair: "If you like it, just smile." ”

Jiang Fanyue tilted her face and bent the corners of her lips towards Yao Rong, revealing a shy smile.

After eating, Jiang Fanyue played tangram all night, and it wasn't until Yao Rong urged her to sleep that she reluctantly stopped: "Mom, when did you learn carpentry." ”

"In the past, there was a technical training class in the town, I signed up for the weaving class, and your uncle signed up for the carpentry class, and then he often did carpentry at home, and when he saw that I was interested, he taught me by the way. I'm very talented in this area, but it's a pity that your grandfather said that girls shouldn't do this hard work, so I didn't continue to persevere. ”

The above words, except for the sentence "very talented", everything else is true.

The truth is mixed with a little falsehood, even if the people in the village know that she has changed careers, they will not find it difficult to accept.

"Then why did you suddenly decide to do carpentry again?"

"Yesterday I saw your bamboo dragonfly and realized that I had only bought you this one toy over the years. I want to make a lot of toys for you, I want to make my life and your life better, I want to try to make you happier than other children in the world, so that they will envy you one day. And now the times are becoming more and more open, not to mention the woodworking industry, no industry can lack the presence of women. ”

Jiang Fanyue didn't seem to understand it, but what her mother said was right, write it down.

Yao Rong extinguished the kerosene lamp.

Jiang Fanyue lay on the bed for a long, long time, and still didn't feel sleepy.

She listened carefully to Yao Rong's breathing and made sure that Yao Rong was asleep, so she quietly came to Yao Rong's side and kissed Yao Rong's side cheek.

"Good night, Mom." ：，，
