Chapter 433 Practice makes perfect

Although he liked it, Wu Fei finally didn't buy the set of bamboo bowls. After looking around, he finally walked to the shop that Xiao Jinsong mentioned selling bamboo baskets.

It was said that it was a store, but it was just a stall under the shelf. Everyone sold it like this, and nine out of ten companies had no signatures. However, the one Wu Fei was looking for had a phone call written on the lid of the foam box along the street.

The phone number above happened to be what Xiao Jinsong told Wu Fei just now, and Wu Fei still remembers it clearly now.

However, when he entered, Wu Fei did not say hello to the boss, let alone telling the boss that he was introduced by Xiao Jinsong.

Just like visiting other places, Wu Fei walked around. In fact, such a stall is not big, at most it will not exceed twenty square meters, and there are various bamboo products piled up inside.

The bamboo baskets Wu Fei wanted to buy were piled under the wall near the railway. Looking up from the shed, you can also see the railway tracks.

Just as Wu Fei was walking around, two trains passed by, making a "clang, clang" sound.

Wu Fei looked at the bamboo baskets and felt that the quality of these bamboo baskets was quite good. Although there were only a few sparse bamboo strips, they were quite wide, and the bamboos used were also old bamboos that were old.

Wu Fei said to the boss who was busy weaving a bamboo basket: "Boss, how do you sell this kind of bamboo basket? How much does it cost?"

The boss stopped his work, looked at the thing Wu Fei pointed at and said, "The bamboo basket you saw costs ten yuan per one. What is the boss buying it for? This kind of thing can only be used to hold something that is not very heavy."

"Buy it to hold vegetables, but why is your basket so expensive? It only costs five yuan for one from others."

When he came, Xiao Jinsong told Wu Fei that the price of a bamboo basket was only five yuan per person. Who knew that when he got here, he actually asked for 10 yuan per person as soon as he opened his mouth.

Wu Fei asked some other places just now, some people shouted 9 yuan, some people shouted 8 yuan, and the highest one was 10 yuan each. Who knew that when they opened their mouths, they shouted the highest price.

After hearing Wu Fei say this, the boss knew that Wu Fei understood the market. Even if he didn't really understand it, he was still not satisfied with the current price.

"Boss, how much do you want? If you buy more, the price will be a little cheaper. One or two really won't make much money."

"If the price is well negotiated, I will give me a hundred first. If it is easy to use, I will definitely come to you to buy it in the future."

Wu Fei said to the boss: "Boss, just give a real price. If you buy one or two of them for 10 yuan, I will be too lazy to bargain with you, but I am not one or two now."

When Wu Fei heard that he wanted 100, and he would also want it in the future, Wu Fei also said at the beginning that he bought it for cooking. The boss said to Wu Fei: "The boss is a vegetable business, right? I know all the vegetable business people in the county town. I have never seen the boss before?"

"It's almost the same, but I grow vegetables at home. The vegetables can be collected after a while, so I bought some bamboo baskets for later. The boss said the real price, how much is the lowest price for each one to sell?"

"Since you buy 100 at a time, it's better to be seven yuan each." The boss said to Wu Fei: "I promise that you can buy my bamboo baskets and use them easily. If they are 70 or 80 kilograms, you can just pack them casually. As long as it is not sunburned, it will be guaranteed that you won't break for two or three years. These bamboo baskets are made of old bamboos that are at least four or five years old, and all of them are cut back from autumn."

When the bamboo was not cut down, Wu Fei could still tell him to distinguish between old and young people.

Old bamboos are usually a little yellow in color. If they are newly grown bamboos, especially those grown back then, the bamboo poles are usually green. They can be divided into the bamboo forest at a glance.

Bamboo is a thing that grows very quickly. After bamboo shoots grow on the ground, they can grow very tall in a few months.

The height of a lifetime can be almost completed in the first two years. Anyway, in the next year, except for the elders, there seems to be no obvious change in the height.

However, after the bamboo is cut back and dried, Wu Fei will be asked to distinguish which old bamboos are and which are tender bamboos, so Wu Fei will not tell them out much.

However, the things made by old bamboo are durable than those made by tender bamboo, which is true. Wu Fei has several small bamboo chairs at home, which are made of old bamboos in his home. They have been used for many years but have not broken down.

The oldest bamboo recliner seems to have been used for more than ten years. When Wu Fei came back on National Day two years ago, Wu Bang washed the recliner again, cleaned it, and then put on tung oil twice again.

First, add tung oil, then after it dry, put it on again. Then the recliner regained its brilliance, like the second spring.

Of course, it is impossible to turn a bamboo chair that has been used for more than ten years into something new. Even the bulges on the bamboo joints have been almost smoothed by hand over the years, and the top is particularly smooth to the touch.

When it was summer, Wu Bang liked to move the bamboo chair to the yard and lie on it to rest. When taking a nap at noon, he often lay on the recliner to rest.

Actually, I can make such bamboo baskets at home, but it takes a little time, so it is better to buy ready-made ones directly.

Because now those who specialize in making bamboo products have used machines to make bamboo. Unlike those who make it at home, they also have to use their hands to break bamboo into pieces.

As for the wages, even if it costs ten yuan per person, it is still worth buying ready-made ones. Because a person who doesn’t do it often will definitely make more than ten bamboo baskets a day.

But people like them who often do it may take more than ten minutes to just have a bamboo basket when the materials are ready.

When Wu Fei came in just now, the boss was crafting the bamboo basket that Wu Fei wanted to buy.

When he came in, the bamboo basket had just weaved the bottom of the basket. After Wu Fei turned it in, he would weave all four sides of the basket in a maximum of five minutes.

Now there is only the last job, which is to tie a side of the entire basket. And when talking to Wu Fei, the boss did not stop his movements and did not even look at the basket, just like eyes on the hands, there was no mistake in weaving them.

Wu Fei felt a little dazzled after watching that movement for a long time, and it was so fast.
