214 Perfect Craft

"Girl Wan, is what you said true?" Aunt Zhang was a little unsure. They had been weaving bamboo baskets for decades, and sometimes they only had three hundred pennies for several months. Aunt Zhang felt like she was dreaming.

"Aunt Zhang, as long as you make it up well, it must be worth so much money!" Gu Xiaowan said decisively.

"But, this..." Although Uncle Zhang was a little moved, he was still a little hesitant: "Will other people's stores accept it? For no reason, it costs five cents to buy a bamboo basket, and someone else buys something and gives a bamboo basket, I I'm afraid the shop owner won't agree!"

Aunt Zhang listened and nodded. It's not that Gu Xiaowan hasn't thought about this issue. If it were a normal businessman, others would definitely not want to do such a loss-making business.

However, when selling something, you need to be refined, sharp, and unique. Therefore, if you want to sell a good thing, you must highlight its uniqueness from the beginning of production. The bargaining capital of others.

Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang are not clear, but Gu Xiaowan is very clear.

In modern times, customers buy a good product, and what they want, they also want a good packaging. It's well packaged, it's good for personal use or as a gift.

That kind of small box, with a lid, is delicate and small, if you can buy some colorful silk threads and wrap them around the bamboo box, it will look even more perfect. It will be more popular if you sell it in a rouge gouache shop.

Girls, there is no one who doesn't love beauty.

Of course, the matter of adding colorful silk threads to the back is the next step. The bamboo box has not been woven yet, and I don't know what the effect of Uncle Zhang will be.

Gu Xiaowan clicked on the drawing on the picture: "Uncle Zhang, can you make it up like this?"

"This girl, you still don't believe in your Uncle Zhang!" Uncle Zhang pretended to be annoyed and said, "Wait, when I finish weaving this basket, I will show you." Then he made all the baskets in his hand After finishing, he threw it aside, took Zhang's dried bamboo strips, and used a blade to divide the bamboo strips into three parts: "This box is small, and there will never be such thick bamboo strips, when I cut them all small. already."

Those thin and sharp pieces of bamboo are like obedient children in Uncle Zhang's hands. When the blade is scraped, a bamboo strip is divided into three parts, with an even width and no burrs.

Gu Xiaowan couldn't help admiring it when she saw it, and she couldn't help but admire: "Uncle Zhang, your technique is really amazing."

"Oh, what's so amazing." Aunt Zhang seemed a little sentimental, watching Uncle Zhang's fingers flexibly flip up and down, and said distressedly: "It's not all figured out slowly and little by little."

Gu Xiaowan knew what Aunt Zhang meant. You have to be very careful about weaving bamboo strips. The blade is sharp, and the cut bamboo strips are still sharp. If you are not careful, you will be scratched by these things. Gu Xiaowan thought of this, involuntarily stared at Uncle Zhang's hand for a while, there were some scars on the fingers that were difficult to heal, and the whole hand was covered with thick calluses.

Uncle Zhang has always been paying attention to the strength of his hands, his eyes have always been on his hands, and he didn't even notice Gu Xiaowan staring at his hands. After he had cut all the bamboo strips, he looked for Gu Xiaowan's size, followed the picture on the painting, flipped his fingers, and in a short while he weaved the bamboo box, which was exactly the size and style Gu Xiaowan wanted, exquisite. Incredible.

Gu Xiaowan watched and couldn't put it down.

Gu Xiaowan took the bamboo box and looked up and down, from left to right to the ground, her mouth closed with joy, this was exactly the style she wanted!

Uncle Zhang's craftsmanship is really nothing to say. In modern times, it can be regarded as a folk craftsman.

Uncle Zhang looked at Gu Xiaowan's excited face, and was also a little happy: "How is it? Didn't lie to you? How about it?"

"That's right, Uncle Zhang, you made it up so well." Gu Xiaowan praised sincerely.

This bamboo box, the size of three palms, can also be decorated with a lid, which is connected to the bamboo box. If the buyer buys something, he can use this to pack it, which is decent and generous, much more beautiful than wrapping it in paper.

"Do you think it's true?" Aunt Zhang also smiled, pointed at Uncle Zhang, and said with a smile, "You Uncle Zhang, as long as you want something, there is nothing that Uncle Zhang can't make up."

Aunt Zhang didn't dare to say what she said just now. There are too many strange things in this girl's head. If she draws a picture, if she can't make it up, she will lose face if she praises Haikou.

"Yes, Uncle Zhang, just make up nine more like this. I'll go to the county town tomorrow, and I'll take all these bamboo boxes with me." Gu Xiaowan put down the bamboo box in her hand and said. She is going to walk to the town tomorrow with her two children, and she doesn't dare to bring too many things. Moreover, it should be enough to take ten bamboo boxes to the shops in the county town. At that time, if they want more, they will let Uncle Zhang and the others rush to work when they come back.

When she heard that Gu Xiaowan was going to the county seat, Aunt Zhang was a little surprised and stunned for a while: "What, girl Wan, are you going to the county seat?"

"Yes, Aunt Zhang, go tomorrow!" Gu Xiaowan replied with a smile.

"This county is six or seven hours away from our village. If you go there, it will take a day." Seeing that Gu Xiaowan was really going to the town, Aunt Zhang was a little anxious and a little worried: "I will let you tomorrow. Brother Stone will take you there in an ox cart!"

"Yeah, girl Wan, Liujia Town, which is incomparable to the county town, is a long way to go. It's too unsafe for you to go on the road alone." Uncle Zhang also disagreed with Gu Xiaowan going: "If you want to go, let the stone accompany you. You go."

Aunt Zhang didn't ask Gu Xiaowan why she went to the county seat, so she offered to let Shito send her there. Gu Xiaowan was very moved and said gratefully: "No, Aunt Zhang

, I have something to do with the county seat tomorrow. Mr. Xu is also going to the county seat. I will ride his carriage all the way there tomorrow. "

Aunt Zhang and the others were relieved when they heard that Gu Xiaowan was going with Mr. Xu. They have all met Mr. Xu, and that was the time when Gu Ning'an and Gu Ningping learned that Gu Xiaoyi was injured. The whole person didn't say that when he went to that station, the temperament of his body was completely incomparable to those who farmed.

Thinking of this, Aunt Zhang and the others are a little more grateful. Gu Xiaowan is going to the county seat by herself. When she arrives, she has not forgotten to bring some business to their family. Aunt Zhang and the others also remember this kindness.
