"Of course, what kind of one do you want to make up? I'll make one up for you."
Qian Meifeng only has one son, who is usually very naughty and makes her very angry every day. She has always wanted a good daughter, but unfortunately her health is not good and she has never been able to give birth.
Now that I see the well-behaved and sensible Liu Ye, I like her very much.
Liu Ye's small request was accepted without much thought.
"Aunt Qian, can you braid it into a rectangular and taller one, like this?"
Liu Ye danced and gestured. Seeing that Qian Meifeng still didn't understand, she simply found a stone and simply drew on the ground.
"As soon as you draw it, I understand it! No problem, I'll make it up for you right now."
Qian Meifeng picked up the dry wicker sticks and quickly weaved them.
Liu Ye was not in a hurry to leave and stayed with Qian Meifeng, chatting with her casually.
The shapes required to weave willow leaves are much simpler than to weave baskets.
After about ten minutes, Qian Meifeng finished the compilation.
It looks square and upright, like an A4 paper-sized dictionary standing upright.
"Xiao Liu, what do you want this for?"
Qian Meifeng looked at the finished product in her hands and asked in confusion.
If it is to be used to hold things, it must be larger.
"Aunt Qian, stop weaving baskets and help me weave things! I'll give you a dollar if you weave one."
Liu Ye did not answer Qian Meifeng's question, but took the knitted things and looked at them carefully.
"What did you say? A dollar! Are you kidding me! What is this thing worth?"
When she heard that she was given a dollar, Qian Meifeng's eyes widened in shock. After thinking about it carefully, she felt that Liu Ye was joking.
She worked hard to weave a basket for the willow factory, spending half an hour to earn just a dime.
She didn't believe that she could earn a dollar just by making up a strange little frame.
"It looks worthless now, but it will be worth it if you dress it up again."
You know, a few decades later, woven bags will be very popular.
That's right, what Liuye asked Qian Meifeng to make was exactly the woven bag.
Qian Meifeng only made the main body of the woven bag, and the willow leaves also needed to be decorated with some rag strips.
"Are you serious?"
Liu Ye looked serious, not like he was joking.
"Of course it's true, Aunt Qian, as long as you make one up for me, I'll give you one dollar."
Liu Ye stood up and said with a firm expression.
"This thing...is it really that valuable?"
No matter how Qian Meifeng looked at it, it was just an ordinary small frame, how could it be so valuable?
"Of course!"
Maybe it was Liu Ye's eyes that were so firm that moved Qian Meifeng.
Qian Meifeng no longer weaves baskets, but weaves willow leaves into small rectangular frames.
By the time Liu Ye came down from the second floor to find Qian Meifeng at almost eleven o'clock, she had already compiled a full ten.
Liuye checked it and found that it was tight and regular. She was very satisfied.
Immediately he took out a big unity ticket and gave it to Qian Meifeng.
Qian Meifeng took the money stupidly, looking in a daze.
Did she earn ten yuan now?
Normally, she would only earn ten yuan by working for half a month in a wicker factory, but now she earns ten yuan in one morning!
You're not dreaming, are you?
Qian Meifeng pinched her arm hard.
it hurts!
It doesn't look like he's dreaming.
Qian Meifeng raised her head and looked at the back of Liu Ye who was leaving with complicated eyes.
I don't know how she is going to sell these things.
Liuye returned to the room carrying a large bunch of wicker bags and immediately started busy.
Taking advantage of Qian Meifeng's knitting skills, she had already designed the decoration of the bag and selected the rag strips.
She first used floral strips of cloth to add a handle to each bag, and tied a bow on the edge.
After a simple decoration, the originally dull dark brown wicker immediately came to life, full of playful and cute flavor.
It would look even better if you could add some beads!
Liuye thought while tying a bow.
I have to find a way to get some beads back.
…
At noon, Zhao Jingmei came back again under the bright sun.
As soon as he entered the door, he couldn't wait to ask Willow Ye: "Ye Zi, how many hairpins and hair ties have you made?"
"Cousin, I didn't make hairpins and hair ties this morning, but I made some braided bags."
Liu Ye saw that Zhao Jingmei was covered in hot sweat and even her clothes were soaked, so she immediately stood up and poured her a glass of cold water.
Zhao Jingmei saw the woven bag made by Liu Ye at a glance.
I just took one look and fell in love immediately.
"Ah! These bags are so beautiful."
It was neither a cloth bag nor a leather bag, but a novel woven bag. This was the first time Zhao Jingmei had seen it.
And it’s also very beautiful.
Zhao Jingmei didn't have time to drink water, so she picked up a wicker bag and started to look in the mirror.
"It's so beautiful..."
Zhao Jingmei turned around and praised her repeatedly.
"Ye Zi, can you give me one?"
If Zhao Jingmei saw such a bag in 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 the woven bag was visited, looking left and right, but she didn't know which one to choose.
All of them look good, and she wants all of them.
After looking at it for a long time, Zhao Jingmei finally chose a woven bag decorated with a black and white plaid pattern.
"Yi Zi, how did you come up with the idea of making bags? Did you make these bags?"
Zhao Jingmei chose the bag and started asking again.
"I asked Aunt Qian downstairs to help me make it up, and I'll give you one yuan for each one."
"Hey~~ It's one yuan a piece, how much do we have to sell it for?"
This price made Zhao Jingmei feel a little distressed.
"Last time I went to New World Department Store, I saw leather bags on the counter that cost ten yuan each. Let's sell this bag for five yuan each!"
Liu Ye has already thought about the price of the wicker bags.
Although the price is not low, it is much cheaper than leather bags.
Moreover, the appearance of the wicker bag is more cute and beautiful. She is confident that girls who love beauty will not miss it.
"We are going to sell bags. Can we still sell hair clips and hair ties?"
"Of course I have to continue selling! There is no conflict between selling bags and hairpins and hair ties."
If you have money to earn, who would want too much?
"Then let's continue making hairpins and hair ties!"
Zhao Jingmei went home at noon and didn't want to waste a minute.
Immediately, I called Liuye and started making hairpins and hair ties.
The two of them had only been busy for ten minutes before Zhao Dagang and Zhao Jingzhu came back.
Both of them were very happy and looked happy.
This morning, two people went to buy commercial housing, and it seems that the deal has been completed.
"Dad, brother, has the house been bought?"
Zhao Jingmei asked excitedly.
"I've bought it, I've bought it! When the house is handed over in the middle of next month, I can move in."
Zhao Dagang beamed with joy, and his eyes became slits from laughter.
"That's great! With the new house, the eldest brother will get married soon!"
