Chapter 56

Although he knew that everything was fine with Jiang Chunshi, since he had arrived at his house, there was no reason not to go and have a look, and knowing that they were coming to the county town, Fang asked them to bring a new piece of clothes to prevent the weather from changing.

Naturally, Mrs. Zheng had no reason to disapprove, so she ordered the staff to lead them to the backyard to look for Jiang Chunshi.

However, I searched for it, but couldn't find it. After some careful inquiry, I learned that Jiang Chunshi followed Chang Yong'an to measure the size of the furniture, and he would not be able to return until the afternoon.

Jiang Youcheng then gave the small bundle of clothes to the buddy, "Please trouble me to pass it on for you."

"You're welcome, I should. I'll give it to Brother Chunshi when he comes back."

Jiang Chunshi was honest and honest, and he would not shirk anyone who asked him to do something on weekdays. The shop assistants all had a good impression of him.

After the things were handed over, Jiang Youcheng, Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun bid farewell to Mrs. Zheng.

Mrs. Zheng sent them out of the shop.

Jiang Mixia and his party went all the way to West Market.

The West Market is lively, and the stalls are also selling vegetables, fruits, benches, baskets and other groceries.

They found a clearing and settled down.

Bamboo baskets are a common thing, and there are several stalls. The bamboo baskets in Jiang Mixia's house are placed here, and they are not conspicuous. Occasionally, some people come to ask the price, and they have no time to wait for Jiang Mixia to say that their bamboo baskets are not leaking. Hearing that one would cost two hundred Wen, he shook his head and left.

Some people were even very dissatisfied, "A bamboo basket costs two hundred coins? You can steal money, but you have to give me a bamboo basket, what's the matter?"

After several times like this, Song Jingyun scratched his ears, "The situation is not very good."

"It's not good, we have to think of a way." Jiang Mixia looked around, "You and Dad wait for me, I'll come when I go."

After all, he went into a nearby shop selling rice noodles.

"Do you want rice or white noodles, sir?" The shop assistant greeted him.

"I don't want to buy anything, but I want to ask for a bucket of water." Jiang Mixia took out two coins from her purse, and stuffed two copper coins into the shop assistant's hand, "Don't let my little brother work for nothing."

Two pennies is not much, but the water is drawn from the well, and it doesn't cost money, but it's just a matter of carrying it in the backyard, without much effort.

The store clerk thought it was a good deal, so he only asked Jiang Mixia to wait for a while, and 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 do you pour the water? "

"Just pour it here." Jiang Mixia picked up the basket in his hand.

"Put water into the bamboo basket?" The man was startled, and looked at Jiang Mixia in disbelief, "Are you sure?"

"Sure." Jiang Mixia nodded.

"I have grown up so big, but I have never seen a bamboo basket that can hold water, and I have never heard of it." The shop assistant still couldn't believe it.

"Really, there is no water leakage at all." Jiang Mixia smiled, "If my brother is afraid of water leaking and wetting the floor in the shop, shall we pour water at the door?"

"Success." The store clerk also wanted to see if there was really a watertight bamboo basket.

The two walked out of the shop together, Jiang Mixia simply put the bamboo basket on the ground where the stall was set up, went to fetch the bucket by herself, and poured water into the bamboo basket.

Carrying a bucket of water out of the rice noodle shop had aroused the attention of the people around him, but now that Jiang Mixia poured the water into the bamboo basket, the eyes of the people around him widened in shock.

"Could it be that this little lady has a bad brain and poured water into the bamboo basket?"

"Don't worry about whether your brain is working or not. It's better to move things to the side quickly. The water will flow everywhere later, and we will wet our things again."

"This person is really looking for trouble..."

A group of people were muttering, and they were busy lifting things, but when they saw that the water poured into the bamboo basket did not leak out, their jaws dropped again in shock.

"It's fake, can this bamboo basket really hold water?"

"Not only can it be loaded, but it doesn't leak a single drop of water. Good guy, 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 that they know it."

"Hey, let me tell you, since this bamboo basket can hold water, what kind of wooden bucket should I use to carry water later? Isn't it good to use this bamboo basket? This bamboo basket is light and easy to hold, so how much effort will I save?"

"How much is this bamboo basket?"

Seeing someone asking about the price, Jiang Mixia smiled and replied, "Two hundred coins each, no counter-offering."

"The price is really not cheap." The person who asked the price shook his head slightly.

"It's easy to use." Jiang Mixia added, "We have made several layers of this bamboo basket. The inside is thin enough, and the outside is strong enough to explain. Ordinary people can't do this kind of work. This bamboo basket is expensive. Work on it here."

"It's really not leaking. I sell wontons in the streets and alleys, and I have to add water to it. This wooden bucket is heavy, 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, lost the money to Jiang Mixia, and chose a bamboo basket that looked sleepy.

Afraid that the bamboo basket was of poor quality, he scooped up some water and poured it in. Seeing that it did not leak, he took the bamboo basket and left contentedly.

This business is like this, if it doesn't open, it will never open, and if it opens, it will open the fortune, and the business will continue to come.

It's the same now. Seeing that the wonton stall bought bamboo baskets, other stalls and shops also came to have a look. After a moment of hesitation, most of them also bought one.

When he came to the county seat, he brought a total of more than ten bamboo baskets. Excluding the two given to Mrs. Zheng, he only sold seven or eight baskets, leaving the last three in hand.

"Is this thing really watertight?"

The person who asked the price was a delicate and gentle young man, wearing a cotton robe that was a little whitish from washing, with slender fingers holding a bamboo basket, but obvious thin calluses could be seen on the knuckles of the fingers.

He looks like a scholar.

"It doesn't leak." Jiang Mixia pointed to the bamboo basket filled with water next to it, "Look, isn't this placed here? It doesn't leak."

The scholar carefully looked at the watertight bamboo basket and nodded repeatedly, "It's not leaking."

But he looked at the round basket in his hand again, and after making gestures, he looked at Jiang Mixia, "Do you only have round bamboo baskets?"

"Yes, there are only round ones." Jiang Mixia looked at the scholar with a hesitant look, and opened his mouth to ask, "Do you want another shape?"

"Well, I want a square suitcase with a lid." The scholar was afraid that Jiang Mixia didn't know this, and said while gesturing, "It's best to have a strap that can be carried on the back. Yes, it's also convenient."

Next spring competition, in order to avoid poor condition during the competition, I want to set off before winter and go to the capital to stay for a period of time earlier. The journey is long and the weather will naturally change along the way.

Ordinary suitcases are also made of bamboo, but most of them are not waterproof. If it is cloudy and rainy, the clothes inside will suffer, and even the books may not be kept. It is really troublesome.

 Bag case, nang (two tones) and qie (four tones), the square-shaped cage carried by ancient scholars, which is convenient for storing books, pens, ink, paper and inkstone.

  In addition, an important notice, there is a high probability that this book will be on the shelves this Friday (tomorrow). The time is very short, and I felt very sudden when I got the notice, because it has never been on the shelves so soon...

  I will sort it out later and send out a notice for listing...
