Chapter 28 Knitting Bags
"Of course, what kind of thing do you want to make up? I'll make up one for you."
Qian Meifeng has only one son, she is usually very naughty and makes her angry every day. She always wants a good daughter, but unfortunately she is not in good health and has never been able to give birth.
Now I see the well-behaved and sensible Liu Ye, I like it so much.
Liu Ye agreed without thinking too much about this little request.
"Aunt Qian, can you make a rectangular, taller one, just like this."
Liuye gestured with her hands and feet. Seeing that Qian Meifeng was still a little confused, she simply found a stone and simply drew a picture on the ground.
"I will understand this painting! No problem, I will make it up for you."
Qian Meifeng picked up the dried willow branches and quickly weaved them.
Liu Ye was not in a hurry to leave, and stayed by Qian Meifeng and chatted with her casually.
Compared to weaving baskets, the shape required to weave willow leaves is much simpler.
After about ten minutes, Qian Meifeng finished making it up.
It looks square, like a standing dictionary of a4 paper size.
"Xiao Liu, what do you want this?"
Qian Meifeng looked at the finished product in her hand and asked in confusion.
If you want to use it to hold things, it must be bigger.
"Aunt Qian, stop making baskets, just help me make things! If you make one, I'll give you one dollar."
Liu Ye didn't answer Qian Meifeng's question, but instead took the crafted thing and took a look at it carefully.
"What did you say? One dollar! Are you kidding me! What is this thing worth?"
When Qian Meifeng heard that she was given one dollar, she widened her eyes in shock. After thinking about it carefully, she felt that Liu Ye was joking.
She worked hard to weave a basket for the willow weaving factory, and it took half an hour to earn a dime.
She could make a dollar by making a small box with a strange appearance, but she didn't believe it.
"It seems worthless now, but it will be worth it if you dress up again."
You know, after decades, woven bags were very popular.
That’s right, what Qian Meifeng made of Liuye was a woven bag.
Qian Meifeng made only the main body of the woven bag, and the willow leaves also need to be decorated with some strips of cloth.
"You're serious?"
Liu Ye looks serious, not like she is joking.
"Of course it's true. Aunt Qian, as long as you make up one for me, I'll give you one dollar."
Liu Ye stood up and said with a firm expression.
"This thing... is really that valuable?"
No matter how Qian Meifeng looks at it, it is just an ordinary small frame, how can it be so valuable?
"Of course!"
Perhaps Liu Ye's eyes were too firm, which moved Qian Meifeng.
Qian Meifeng no longer weaves baskets, but instead weaves small rectangular frames for willow leaves.
By about eleven o'clock, when Liu Ye came down from the second floor to find Qian Meifeng, she had already made up a total of ten.
Liu Ye checked it and it was tight and regular, and she was very satisfied.
I immediately took out a photo of Datong to Qian Meifeng.
Qian Meifeng took the money stupidly, looking dazed.
She has earned ten yuan now?
Usually, she worked for the Willow Weaving Factory for half a month to earn ten yuan, but now she earned ten yuan in one morning!
Aren't you dreaming?
Qian Meifeng pinched her arm hard.
it hurts!
It seems that it's not dreaming.
Qian Meifeng raised her head and looked at the departing Liuye's back, with a complicated look.
I don't know how she will sell these things.
Liuye returned to the room with a large string of willow bags and immediately became busy.
Taking advantage of Qian Meifeng's knitting, she had already designed the decoration of the bag and selected strips of rags.
She first used floral strips to add a handle to each bag, and then tied a bow on the edge.
After a simple decoration, the originally dull dark brown wicker immediately became fresh and full of playful and cute flavor.
It would be even better if you could add some beads!
The willow leaves were thinking while tied with a bow.
I have to find a way to get some beads back.
...
At noon, Zhao Jingmei returned with the sun again.
As soon as I entered the door, I couldn't wait to ask Liu Ye: "Yezi, how many hairpin hair rings have you made?"
"Cousin, I didn't make hairpin rings this morning, but I made some braided bags."
Seeing that Zhao Jingmei was sweating all over and even her clothes were soaked, Liu Ye immediately got up and poured her a cup of cold and white.
Zhao Jingmei saw the woven bag made of willow leaves at a glance.
Just one look and fell in love immediately.
"Ah! These bags look so good."
It was neither a cloth bag nor a leather bag, but a novel woven bag. This was the first time Zhao Jingmei saw it.
And it's very beautiful.
Zhao Jingmei didn't have time to drink water, so she picked up a willow bag and started looking in the mirror.
“It looks so good…”
Zhao Jingmei turned her body and exclaimed repeatedly.
"Yezi, can you give me one?"
If Zhao Jingmei saw such a bag at New World Department Store, she would definitely pay for it immediately.
"Of course, you can choose whatever you want."
As soon as Liu Ye finished speaking, Zhao Jingmei stood in front of the table where she visited the woven bag, looked left and right, but she didn't know which one to choose.
She wants all of them.
After watching for a while, Zhao Jingmei finally chose a woven bag decorated with black and white plaid patterns.
"Yezi, how did you think of making bags? You made these bags?"
Zhao Jingmei had finished choosing the bag and started asking again.
"I asked Aunt Qian downstairs to help make it up, and I'll give you one dollar."
"Hiss~~one dollar, how much do we have to sell for each?"
This price made Zhao Jingmei feel a little distressed.
"Last time I went to New World Department Store, I saw a leather bag on the counter, which costs ten yuan per bag. Our bag will only sell for five yuan per bag!"
The price of willow weaving bags has long been decided.
Although the price is not low, it is much cheaper than the leather bag.
Moreover, the appearance of the willow woven bag is more cute and beautiful. She is confident that girls who love beauty will never miss it.
"We are going to sell bags, are we still selling hairpin hair rings?"
"Of course I have to continue selling it! Selling bags and selling hairpin hairpins does not conflict."
Who would think that if you have money to make a lot?
"Then let's continue to do hairpin hair rings!"
Zhao Jingmei went home at noon and didn't want to waste a minute.
I immediately called Liuye to start doing hairpin and hair rings.
After only ten minutes of busyness, Zhao Dagang and Zhao Jingzhu came back.
Both of them were happy and looked happy.
This morning, the two of them went to buy commercial housing, and it seemed that they had already completed it.
"Dad, brother, have you bought the house?"
Zhao Jingmei asked excitedly.
"I've bought it, I've bought it! I'll be able to move in when I'm handing over the house in mid-next month."
Zhao Dagang smiled happily, his eyes burst into a crack.
"That's great! With a new house, my brother will get married soon!"
Zhao Jingmei also became happy.
Chapter completed!
