Reborn Craftsman

Chapter 14 Fourth Uncle's Thoughts

"I really don't know about this!" Liu Dagen shook his head.

He only knew that the bamboo craftsman had a bamboo knife and a few small tools such as a bamboo file.

"The tools of a bamboo craftsman are divided into two types: electric and manual. The electric one is a machine for breaking bamboo. It is estimated that it will cost more than 100 to buy in the market. If you can buy this, you will not need to break bamboo by hand in the future! And the speed of breaking bamboo strips is nearly three times faster." Liu Xing said softly.

"Then I really want to buy this broken machine!" Liu Dageng continued.

The speed of breaking the bamboo strips was three times faster, and he felt a little moved when he thought about it.

But he didn't know that there was something in Liu Xing's words, that is, no one had produced the Pomiji in 93!The reason why he threw out the disrespectful machine was nothing more than to take the opportunity to cover up the fact that he rented a wonton shop.

As long as the wonton shop turns into a rice noodle shop and opens, the inside story of Po Mi Ji will naturally not be important.

Liu Xing is not trying to lie to his father, but sometimes a white lie can make things more appropriate.

Seeing that his father had no doubts, Liu Xing continued: "As for the handmade bamboo craftsman's tools, there are more than 200 kinds. Although some of them are not needed, we still need to purchase some. Is it too much for me to leave [-] yuan?"

"Not much, not much at all!" Liu Dageng said affirmatively.

"Why don't you take a hundred more?" Liu Dageng took out a hundred tentatively.

"That's not necessary, Dad, save your money and buy a red brick house! Our adobe brick house really can't live anymore!" Liu Xing looked at the time: "Sister Zhang is still waiting for us to send him a dustpan. , why don't you call for a tractor now?"

"Good! Good!" Liu Dageng nodded, turned around and walked out.

Who knew that the door and eaves of the house were too low, and when he lowered his head accidentally, he collided with a young man with a big nose who was carrying a hoe.

"Who are you? You don't have eyes when you walk!" Liu Dageng rubbed his aching forehead and cursed secretly.

But he regretted it in the next second. It turned out that the young man with a big nose who collided with him was his younger brother 'Liu Huaqing', also Liu Xing's fourth uncle.

Grandpa Liu Xing has six children.

His father 'Liu Dageng' is the second child, his elder sister 'Liu Huamei' is the eldest, the third child 'Liu Huasheng' is a carpenter, and the fourth child 'Liu Huaqing' is the youngest son.

As for the fifth child 'Liu Xiaohua' and the sixth child 'Liu Huaju'.

They are currently living with their parents, that is, Liu Xing's grandparents.

In Liu Xing's memory, his two aunts should be making red brick embryos now, planning to build a red brick house for the fourth uncle.

After all, the fourth uncle is a 'full cub', which means the youngest son in the countryside, and it is impossible for the grandparents as parents to ignore it.

But Liu Xing's father, Liu Dageng, and his third uncle, Liu Huasheng, did not have such good treatment, because they had already married and separated.

But the third uncle didn't need it anymore, because the third uncle was a carpenter and made a lot of money outside. He built the red brick house a year ago, and he even finished painting it.

Fourth Uncle Liu Huaqing's visit to Liu Xing's house today not only surprised Liu Dageng, but also Liu Xing.

Because in his memory, his parents and fourth uncle seemed to quarrel frequently in the past nine years, and it didn't get better for a few days.

As for the reason, it seems to be a few pieces of wood for the separation.

Of course, after their respective lives got better, the quarrels have long since disappeared, and they can all live in harmony. After all, they are brothers, blood is thicker than water, and it is impossible to be like an enemy because of a trivial matter.

Thinking of this now, Liu Xing felt a little funny.

"You...why are you here with me?" Liu Dageng looked at Liu Huaqing in embarrassment.

His younger brother quarreled with him a week ago because of a vegetable field, and almost got into a fight. He suddenly appeared at his door, so he wanted to quarrel again, right?
"Brother! Actually, it's okay!" Liu Huaqing sneered, "I just want to ask, can you make money with weaving dustpans?"

"Yes." Liu Dagen really wanted not to answer this question, but Liu Huaqing was his younger brother, so he had to answer truthfully.

"Do you need help?" Liu Huaqing turned his head and looked at the grain drying field outside, with longing in his eyes: "I think there should be a shortage of manpower in this posture."

In the countryside in 93, the life of unskilled farmers was the most difficult, and sometimes the poor could not even afford to sell salt.

So during the slack season, if you can find a job to subsidize your family, that would be a very honorable thing.

As for Liu Huaqing, because he was close to Liu Xing's house, he 'stared' at the job of weaving dustpans.

"This..." Liu Dagen didn't know what his brother was thinking, he looked at Liu Xing hesitantly, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

There must be a shortage of manpower, but if his younger brother is invited to help, I'm afraid his daughter-in-law will not be able to pass the test.

Who said it was okay a few days ago and had a quarrel in front of a dozen villagers.

Liu Xing naturally understands the father's difficulties and the meaning of the fourth uncle's words. He smiled and said in a daze: "Dad, didn't you just say that you just want to ask someone to help transport the dustpan to the market? Fourth uncle is idle too." If he is free, let him help deliver the goods! If he is willing to learn, he can also help with weaving dustpans, and he will be paid at the rate of four yuan a day."

Four yuan a day's salary was not high in 93, but it was not low. Take Liu Xing's third uncle, Liu Huaxing's carpenter's salary as an example, sometimes it can't even reach it!Even only three dollars a day.

As soon as he said this, the fourth uncle Liu Huaqing was ecstatic: "How can my brother ask for money! I just want to help out in a hurry!"

"You don't want money but you want to eat!" Seeing that Liu Xing had spoken, Liu Dageng didn't bother anymore, but pulled Liu Huaqing and went outside: "Follow me to ask the tractor to knock all the dustpans to the market. Then I’m teaching you how to weave a dustpan, although it’s estimated that it’s only a few days’ work, but if you learn how to do it, you’ll still get some pork money when you go to the market in the future.”

"It's a good feeling!" Liu Huaqing was very excited.

No wonder there was a smell of meat coming from my eldest brother's house a few days ago. It turned out that it was because of this weaving dustpan!

Liu Xing couldn't help shaking his head and laughing as he watched his father and his fourth uncle go away.

Then he didn't stay idle, but walked towards the grain drying field and began to collect those unwanted bamboo shoots.

Seeing this, Little Peanut hurried over to help. Seeing his mother busy editing the dustpan, he blinked his big eyes and asked softly, "Brother, can you take me to the market when you go down?"

"No, because the [-] dustpans probably won't fit in the tractor at one time!" Liu Xing replied with a smile.

Seeing that Little Peanut was a little unhappy, he changed the subject: "But I can go to the market and buy some meat buns for you to eat."

"Really?" Little Peanut smiled sweetly.

"When did my brother lie to you? If you want to go to the market, I will take you there tomorrow!" Liu Xing said while reaching out and touching Little Peanut's head.

"Okay!" Little Peanut ran away holding the little yellow dog.

Liu Xing watched and shook his head, picked up the small blade placed in the corner and began to make a seemingly simple but skillful bamboo product.

This bamboo product has a famous name in the countryside, that is bamboo dragonfly.
