Chapter 87: Basket Weaving Skills

PreviousBack to directoryNext
It's okay not to mention Dong Xu, but when he mentions Dong Xu, the anger in Old Man Dong's heart is raised eight feet high!

"That's it. How can we compare with Dong Xu? What should we compare with?" Old man Dong was so angry that his voice broke. He picked up the stick and beat Dong Chang and the three of them indiscriminately.

Dongshi and Dongyao who haven’t endorsed it yet:?

Although it is certain to be beaten, you can't hit me before you carry it on your back, right?

The three children are still young, but they are still quite honest now, and Old Man Dong is the authority in the whole family. They dare not resist, let alone run. The most they can do is dodge, but the stick still lands firmly on them.

The uncle's hand holding the fire stick was a little loose at first, and she could not bear the sound. But when she thought of the bear look on Dong Chang's back, she gritted her teeth in anger and muttered: "You deserve it!"

Dong Nuan finished the fire and was not in a hurry to persuade him, but turned around and went to the yard.

Uncle Dong and Dong Sanchun are enjoying the cool air in the courtyard.

As soon as Dong Nuan passed, she saw Uncle Dong with a dark face and a pole in his hand. It looked like he had wanted to do it just now, but Old Man Dong beat her hard and stopped her.

Seeing Dong Nuan come out, Uncle Dong's expression softened a bit, and he tried his best to smile as gently as possible: "Nuan Ya has come out?"

"Well, uncle." Dong Nuan called out obediently, and then said softly: "Let me take a look at the wicker."

I had promised to teach my family members how to make baskets, and Dong Nuan felt that I had to put it on the agenda.

What's the point of just kids getting beaten?

Again, the fun is only when the whole family fights.

As soon as he heard about looking at wicker, Uncle Dong knew that he was going to make baskets.

In fact, many elderly people in the village can weave the simplest large baskets, which are often used in farmyards. Such baskets are also simple. As long as you don't choose the ones that look good and are tight, you can actually make them.

But that's it, no matter how complicated things are, such as small backpacks, fish baskets, small bamboo baskets, etc., they can't do it.

There is a family in the village that is good at weaving baskets. It is a coincidence that it happens to be the family of Liao Mingkun's uncle next door.

The other family relied on this basket weaving skill to provide a lot of daily food for the family.

Otherwise, Old Man Dong wouldn't have been so interested when he heard that Dong Nuan could weave baskets.

Although a small basket is not valuable, and sometimes several baskets stacked together can be sold for three to five cents, but the wicker is ready-made, and my family can do it when they are free, and the labor is free.

For the Dong family, this is zero cost, and it can be sold for every penny.

"They are all stored here. I am afraid that they will become too brittle after being dried in the sun and difficult to weave, so they are all piled up in the side room." Uncle Dong also wanted to learn this craft. He felt that his brain was flexible, but he lacked opportunities to learn, so

Very attentive right now.

In winter and spring, he was still sitting lazily under the eaves, with no intention of moving at all.

Dong Nuan is not in a hurry to urge him to make progress, just take his time.

My own father has never been severely beaten by a bamboo spirit, so he is lazy, which is understandable.

Dong Nuan went to get some wicker sticks and came out. It was getting dark now, but the summer was long, so the slight afterglow had not completely dissipated between the sky and the earth. There was still a little light outside that could be used.

Dong Nuan feels that if you want to make money from the craft of basket weaving, you have to weave it with thought and ingenuity.

Weaving only big baskets for stuffing things can only rely on quantity.

But the problem is, that thing is big and time-consuming. How many numbers can be compiled to sell it for ten cents?

The whole family worked together for several days, but they couldn't even sell for ten cents?

Although labor is said to be worthless, it is not such a worthless method.

Therefore, Dongnuan is going to sell some exquisite products.

For example, you can put some small items in a small basket that looks easy to hold.

In fact, bamboo is more suitable for such a basket.

It's just that cutting bamboo is laborious and requires processing and tidying up, and bamboo is not as easy to use as willow, so Dong Nuan thought about it and decided to start with wicker.

After Dong Nuan picked the wicker sticks, she turned around and asked Uncle Dong and Dong Sanchun: "Dad, uncle, I am making up now, do you want to learn it?"

Who doesn’t want to learn Bai Lai’s craft?

Uncle Dong agreed without hesitation: "Thank you for your hard work!"

After Uncle Dong finished speaking, he raised his hand and touched Dong Nuan's head lovingly.

Dong Sanchun doesn't want to learn, but his outside persona is that of a silly guy.

Therefore, the eldest brother agreed, but he could only do so reluctantly.

Because of his reluctance to comply, he was still muttering: "Nuanya, can you make it up? Don't waste it..."

There was some muttering behind, but the sound was too low and Dong Nuan didn't hear it.

In fact, if you hear it, you will pretend not to hear it.

If you know how to make it up, won’t you know it once you get started?

"Let's do the simplest thing first." Dong Nuan originally wanted to get some exquisite gadgets, but after thinking about the river in the village, he changed his mind.

Let’s start with the slightly complicated fish basket.

Thinking of this, Dong Nuan smiled. She seemed innocent and harmless, but Uncle Dong felt a chill in his heart.

Then he heard Dong Nuan say softly: "Let's start by making fish baskets. The river is now in full swing, so it's a good time for fishing."

After Dong Nuan finished speaking, he processed some wicker sticks and showed them to the two of them: "Let's do this first, then..."

While talking and demonstrating at the same time, Dong Nuan wove it very slowly.

Uncle Dong could barely keep up, but he couldn't keep up at all in winter and spring.

Uncle Dong stared at it almost every time, for fear that he would miss any step.

At this moment, Dongchang's howling and endorsements in the room were no longer important to Uncle Dong.

No matter how big a thing is, it is not as important as learning a craft!

"Let's do this and collect it inside." Dong Nuan's voice continued.

Uncle Dong listened carefully, and Dong Sanchun also listened carefully.

Because Dong Sanchun found out, he was distracted and concerned about the beating of the child in the house. There was Dong Yao in it. No matter how indifferent he was, he was still his own son. Listening to his howling, Dong Sanchun felt heartbroken.

However, when he withdrew his ears and listened to Dong Nuan's steps, he couldn't understand them at all.

Winter and spring:???

Dong Sanchun listened for a long time and found that he couldn't keep up at all.

Dong Nuan and Uncle Dong have been assigned to the fourth row, why is he still in the second row?

And the steps were completely different, so he couldn't imitate them even if he wanted to.

In winter and spring, I panicked.

Dong Sanchun didn't want to learn anymore, but if he really couldn't learn it, he might get beaten later. In the past two days, Old Man Dong had become a bit angry.

Thinking of this, Dong Sanchun asked slightly panicked: "Wait, Nuan Ya, what's happening here?"

Dong Nuan was very patient. When Dong Sanchun asked, she stopped. After looking at it carefully, she pointed: "Take it here, yes, yes, yes, this direction..."

Interrupted by Dong Sanchun, Uncle Dong was unable to connect again.

Uncle Dong:?
