"Mom, how about this? Let Baiyi and Sang Sang go dig the medicinal materials first, and then we can cut pigweed for a few days. Why don't the medicinal materials have to be dried? They won't be turned into money in a while. There are so many at home.
People still have to eat and drink, so if we cut a few baskets of pigweed a day, we can still make enough money."
Put forward your own opinions.
"That's it..."
"no."
Seeing that the words were all about him, Lin Baiyi quickly shook his head.
"Mom, I have a lot of work to do these days. In a few days, let Qing Yatou follow Sangsang to dig for medicine, and Changfeng will follow."
He and Sang Sang promised to build a wheelchair. They had to think carefully about it these days. They had the skills to go up the mountain and cut down trees. During the rest of the time, they had to do carpentry work at home.
"Did you get a job?" Lin Lu asked him.
"Well."
Lin Baiyi was speechless for a while.
How could he find any work? People in the town and county who wanted to find carpenters would always look for people they knew well. He was a stranger, who would be willing to give him a job?
"Grandma, it was me who gave Third Uncle an idea. Now that Third Uncle doesn't have any work to do, he will make some bamboo baskets, dustpans, drying mats, brooms, etc. at home. Then he will take advantage of the market to get them.
It’s not a waste of time to go to town and sell it.”
Lin Caisang said hurriedly.
"Yes, yes, that's what I mean." Lin Baiyi nodded quickly.
In fact, it is a bright spot. Although the large tables, chairs, boxes and cabinets cannot be carried, it is still possible to make simple things. When the time comes, I can sell them in the town. Even if they cannot be sold, they can be used at home.
"In the past few days, I have been cutting down trees and bamboos, and making some things that can be used in the kitchen. At least I can supplement the household income."
"That's OK."
Lin Lu thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
"Then Changfeng will follow Sangsang and the others to dig for medicinal materials. I, the third family member, and He Yatou will go cut the pigweed."
"Um."
Everyone nodded after hearing this.
"Grandma, this bowl of egg custard is for grandpa. Please bring it to grandpa. We found a lot of wild eggs on the mountain today. We will look for them tomorrow. Please tell grandpa not to be reluctant to eat them."
Lin Caisang looked at the small bowl of egg custard and said to Lin Lu.
"Okay, Sangsang still knows how to care about people."
Mrs. Lin Lu praised her granddaughter without hesitation, took the food and egg custard, and went to her room.
"Sang Sang, why didn't I think of it before? You can still make these things, pot brushes and the like. Most people bought them. I have to make more." Lin Baiyi thought about it again and felt that this was definitely a good livelihood.
.
"Not only these, but also bamboo baskets, not the kind that hold vegetables. Third uncle, have you seen those bamboo baskets for tofu? They have square corners. Only water and even grains of sand can leak out of those bamboo baskets.
For those that can’t go down, there are also food boxes, round rice sieves, chaff sieves, etc.”
Lin Caisang said.
"If you don't know how, next time you go to the market, you can go to those stalls to see the actual products and do it again when you come back."
After listening to her words, Lin Baiyi gave her a thumbs up. As long as these things are made more exquisitely and sold cheaper, there is no need to worry about no one buying them.
Anyway, for him, the materials are readily available, and he can cut a lot of them anywhere on the mountain.
He just put in a little effort, and it was simply a business without capital.
"Sangsang, you..."
"Dad, let Sangsang eat. The porridge should be cold now. We can talk about these things later."
