Although she knew that everything was fine with Jiang Chunshi, there was no reason not to go and take a look now that she was at her doorstep. When she learned that they were coming to the county town, Fang asked them to bring some new clothes to prevent the weather from changing.
Of course, Mrs. Zheng had no reason to refuse, and ordered her assistant to lead them to the backyard to look for Jiang Chunshi.
However, after searching around, he couldn't find it. After some inquiring, he learned that Jiang Chunshi and Chang Yong'an went to the door to measure the dimensions of the furniture and would not be able to come back until the afternoon.
Jiang Youcheng gave the small bundle of clothes to the clerk, "Can you please pass it on to me?"
"You're welcome, you should. I'll give it to Brother Chunshi when he comes back." The boy agreed.
Jiang Chunshi has an honest and honest nature, and he doesn't shy away from anyone who asks him for help. The clerks in the shop have a very good impression of him.
After the things were handed over, Jiang Youcheng, Jiang Michia and Song Jingyun said goodbye to Zheng.
Mrs. Zheng sent them out of the shop.
Jiang Michia and his party went all the way to the West Market.
The West Market is lively, with stalls selling vegetables, fruits, benches, baskets and other groceries.
They found an open space and settled down.
Bamboo baskets are common, and there are several stalls. The bamboo baskets in Jiang Mixia's home are not conspicuous here. Occasionally, people come to ask for prices. They don't even have time to wait for Jiang Mixia to say that his bamboo baskets are watertight. The other party When he heard the price of two hundred coins, he shook his head and left.
Some people were very dissatisfied, "A bamboo basket costs 200 yuan? You can obviously steal money, but you have to give a bamboo basket. What does this mean?"
After doing this several times, Song Jingyun grabbed his ears and said, "The situation is not good."
"It's not good, we have to think of a way." Jiang Michia looked around, "You and dad wait for me, I'll be back as soon as I can."
After that, he went into a shop selling rice and noodles next door.
"Sir, do you want rice or flour?" The waiter in the store came to greet him.
"I don't want to buy anything, but I want to beg for a bucket of water." Jiang Michia took out two pennies from his purse and stuffed two copper coins into the shop assistant's hand, "I don't want my little brother to work in vain."
Two pennies was not much, but the water was drawn from a well, and it was free. It was just a matter of carrying it in the backyard, so it was effortless.
The store clerk thought it was a good deal, so he only asked Jiang Michia to wait for a moment, then went into the backyard, and after a while, he came out with a bucket of water, "You didn't bring the bucket of water, where can I pour this water for you? "
"Pour it here." Jiang Michia picked up the basket in his hand.
"Put the water into the bamboo basket?" The waiter was startled and looked at Jiang Michia in disbelief, "Are you sure?"
"OK." Jiang Michia nodded.
"In my entire life, I have never seen or heard of a bamboo basket that can hold water." The store clerk still couldn't believe it.
"Really, there's no leakage at all." Jiang Michia said with a smile, "If I'm afraid that the water will leak and wet the floor inside the shop, why don't we go to the door to pour water?"
"Sure." The store clerk also wanted to see if there was really a watertight bamboo basket.
The two of them walked outside the shop together. Jiang Michia simply placed the bamboo basket where the stall was set up, then went to carry the bucket and poured the water into the bamboo basket.
Carrying a bucket of water out of the rice noodle shop originally attracted the attention of the people around him, but now that Jiang Mixia poured the water into the bamboo basket, the people around him were even more shocked and their eyes widened.
"Is this little lady out of her mind and pouring water into the bamboo basket?"
"Don't worry about whether your brain is working well or not. It's better to move things to the side quickly. The water will flow everywhere later and make our things wet."
"This person is really good at looking for trouble..."
A group of people were mumbling and busy moving things. But when they saw that the water poured into the bamboo basket did not leak out at all, their jaws dropped again.
"It's fake, can this bamboo basket really hold water?"
"Not only can it be installed, but it doesn't leak even a drop of water. My dear, it's really eye-opening. It's the first time I've seen a bamboo basket that doesn't leak."
"No wonder people pour water into the bamboo basket. It seems they know it."
"Hey, I said, since this bamboo basket can hold water, why should I use a wooden bucket to carry water later? Wouldn't it be better to use this bamboo basket? This bamboo basket is light and easy to carry. How much effort will it save?"
"How much does this bamboo basket cost?"
When someone asked about the price, Jiang Michia smiled and replied, "Two hundred coins each, no counter-offer."
"The price is really not cheap." The person who asked the price shook his head slightly.
"It's easy to use." Jiang Michia added, "We have woven this bamboo basket in several layers. It is thin enough on the inside and strong enough on the outside. Ordinary people cannot do this kind of work. This bamboo basket is expensive. Let’s work here.”
"It's really good that it doesn't leak. I sell wontons on the street and I have to add water to it. This wooden bucket is heavy to carry, and the bamboo basket is just right on top of the cart. I'll get one."
The person who asked the price took the money bag, gave the money to Jiang Michia, and chose a bamboo basket that he looked at with sleep.
I was afraid that the quality of the bamboo basket was not good, so I scooped some water and poured it in. When I saw that there was no leakage, I took the bamboo basket and left with satisfaction.
This business is like this. If it doesn't open, it will never open. If it opens, even if it opens up the fortune, the business will continue to come.
It's the same now. When I saw a wonton stall buying a bamboo basket, other stalls and shops also came over to take a look. After hesitating for a moment, most of them also bought one.
When he came to the county town, Manchu brought more than ten bamboo baskets. Except for the two given to Zheng, he has only sold seven or eight of them, and he still has the last three on hand.
"Is this thing really watertight?"
The person asking the price was a delicate and elegant young man. His cotton robe was washed a little white. The fingers holding the bamboo basket were slender, but obvious calluses could be seen on the finger joints.
He looks like a scholar.
"It doesn't leak." Jiang Michia pointed to the bamboo basket filled with water next to her. "Look, isn't this placed here? It doesn't leak."
The scholar looked carefully at the water-proof bamboo basket and nodded repeatedly, "It is water-proof."
But he looked at the round basket in his hand, and after making some gestures, he looked at Jiang Michia, "Do you only have round bamboo baskets?"
"Yes, there are only round ones." Jiang Michia looked at the hesitant look on the scholar's face and asked, "Do you want other shapes?"
"Well, I want a square bag with a lid." The scholar was afraid that Jiang Michia didn't know this, so he gestured and said, "It's best to have a strap that can be carried on your back. In this case, you can hold a pen, ink, paper and inkstone." Yes, it’s also convenient.”
In order to avoid being in poor condition during the competition next spring, I plan to set off before winter and go to the capital to stay for a while. The journey is long and the weather will naturally be changeable along the way.
Ordinary bags are made of bamboo, but most of them are not waterproof. If it rains on a cloudy day, the clothes inside will be damaged, and even the books may not be saved, which is really troublesome.
