"It's really not bad, I learn really fast." Mrs. Liu couldn't help but sigh, and she was also happy in her heart.
Song Jingyun was thin and not particularly delicate. She was once worried about how Jiang Michia would live when she and Jiang You grew up, and whether he would have to bear the burden of the entire family by himself.
Now that Song Jingyun has learned the skill of basket weaving, it is equivalent to serving a bowl. No matter how delicious the food is, she will never be hungry, so she can feel a little more relieved.
Jiang Michia leaned her head over and saw Song Jingyun's hands busy there, the bamboo strips flying up and down, and the basket getting taller little by little. She felt dazzled.
Ho!
This must be taught to my little husband-in-law.
Speaking of which, this little son-in-law is really not simple.
He learned to spear fish quickly, and he also learned to make bamboo strips quickly. Now he is even a little expert at weaving bamboo strips, so he obviously has a strong learning ability.
but……
Jiang Michia, who got up early this morning to help Song Jingyun comb her hair into a bun, suddenly fell into deep thought.
Ever since Song Jingyun came to this world, she had been helping him comb his bun, and Song Jingyun couldn't do it at all.
This doesn’t quite fit with my son-in-law’s personality of having a strong learning ability.
"Why do you learn things so quickly?" Jiang Michia wanted to find out the reason, analyze and summarize it, and see if she was taught the wrong way.
"How should I put it..." Song Jingyun hesitated for a while and replied, "I feel like after reading it once or twice, I will remember it. If I try it, I can make it."
The legendary super high IQ, photographic memory, strong learning ability, and academic master?
After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Michia felt that it was very possible.
After all, Song Jingyun comes from the future interstellar world. After so many years of evolution, human beings should be getting better and better in terms of IQ.
However, here comes the problem.
"Then why have you never learned to comb your hair?" Jiang Michia asked.
"I've thought about this question. Maybe it's because the bun is on the top of my head and I can't see it." Song Jingyun looked serious.
Jiang Michia, "..."
What a great answer!
----
Fifty bamboo baskets were finally completed with the hard work of everyone.
At this time, there are still five days left before the delivery time agreed with Manager Zhou.
I had mentioned the early delivery to Manager Zhou before, and Manager Zhou said that if it was earlier than expected, it could be delivered at any time. If he was not around, someone else would have paid the remaining money.
Jiang Michia proposed to deliver the goods two days before the delivery time. It seemed that the family was working hard to make the goods, but when estimating the time, there was not such a big error.
In addition, Jiang Michia also suggested making up a few more shallow bamboo baskets and bamboo hats and taking them with them.
"The quantity doesn't need to be large. Just get two or three baskets and three or four bamboo hats. This can be considered an extra addition to this business."
Jiang Youcheng nodded after hearing this, "Yes, for such a big deal, no one in charge can bargain. If we don't add something, it would be a bit ignorant."
Moreover, the gifts given together were not worth much. They were just a matter of him and Song Jingyun and his son-in-law holding hands tightly and catching up on work.
Jiang Youcheng thought it was very good, so he followed Jiang Michia's suggestion and made bamboo baskets and bamboo hats with Song Jingyun.
In a blink of an eye, the day of delivery arrived.
It was still Jiang Michia, Song Jingyun, Jiang Youcheng and Song Chunshi who hired Jiang San's oxcart.
But because there were so many things this time that they couldn’t be loaded, we hired an extra ox cart belonging to Jiang Shuanzi’s family, also from the same village.
Two oxcarts, squeaking and squeaking, left the village before dawn, and arrived at Shaoji Tea Garden when the sun was almost high in the sky.
The tea garden has been tidied up by the burnt black mark. All the previously collapsed houses have been torn down, and new ones are being built now. Several thatched sheds have also been temporarily built for daily resting, and fences and walls have also begun to be built. appearance.
It can be said that the tea garden has a completely new look compared to the last time I came here.
Zhou Xing was directing people to work there. Seeing Jiang Michia and others, he came over and said, "We arrived a few days earlier than expected."
"Knowing that Governor Zhou is renovating the new tea garden here and rushing forward with everything, we don't dare to delay." Jiang Michia smiled and said, "Steward Zhou is inspecting the goods?"
Zhou Xing only picked up one, looked at it carefully, put it on his body and tried to memorize it, and found it quite easy.
In particular, the wide cloth strips sewn on the straps are quite flat and do not feel tight when worn on the body. The design is very good.
After checking a few in succession, the remaining ones were asked to be counted by the clerk and sent to the accounting office to get the silver.
"What are these?" Zhou Xing asked, looking at the bamboo hats and bamboo baskets that Jiang Michia and Jiang Youcheng had brought over.
"Steward Zhou takes care of our family's business, so he should be filial, but the farmer doesn't have much to offer, so he can only make up some of these things to see if Steward Zhou can use them."
Jiang Michia brought the hat to Zhou Xing, "These hats are also lined, so they won't feel uncomfortable when worn. There are more gaps on top than ordinary hats, so the hair won't be weighed down."
Zhou Xing looked at the bamboo hat, put it on himself, and nodded, "Not bad."
He looked at the baskets of different sizes and nodded again, "Not bad."
Then he laughed and said, "You are a young girl, but you are very thoughtful and smart."
When he said this, Zhou Xing's eyes narrowed into thin slits, but his eyes were as bright as an old fox's, looking like he had clearly seen through Jiang Michia's thoughts.
Jiang Michia didn't hide it much, she just admitted, "My family is poor, so naturally I want to find more ways to make money. Thanks to Manager Zhou for taking care of me, these things are both a thank you and a way for Manager Zhou to see our skills and skills." Let’s see if we can get some exposure to Manager Zhou’s glory in the future.”
Zhou Xing touched his nose.
Since it is a tea garden, after buying this tea-picking basket, it is natural to start working.
In spring, the sun is so bright that it makes people blind, so a bamboo hat is a must-have.
The picked tea leaves need to be dried, and this basket is also a necessary item.
Jiang Michia specially selected these two things to give away, and also wanted to win the business later.
"This business is all about economy and affordability. If your price is right, for me, it's okay." Zhou Xing said.
Being able to get a quote is equivalent to having a stepping stone.
Jiang Michia smiled and said, "The material for the bamboo hat is not much, but the inner lining needs to be sewn, which is troublesome to work on. The price of a bamboo hat is forty-five cents. As for the bamboo basket, it depends on the size. For something as big as this, it requires It costs forty-five cents, and this big one costs fifty-five cents each. If you still want a bigger one, you can set the price based on how big you want it."
Zhou Xing slightly nodded, "The price is fair."
