Reborn Craftsman

Chapter 43 Don't Underestimate Me

But Liu Xing didn't think about these messes. He handed ten yuan to the fourth uncle: "You have worked hard today, and this money is considered as the cost of supper at night."

"Why are you being so polite?" Fourth uncle hastily pushed it away.

"Then keep it and pay you later!" Liu Xing immediately collected the money when his fourth uncle said that.

"Okay! Say it first! Starting today, my salary will be doubled!" Fourth Uncle urged.

"Understood!" Liu Xing smiled: "It will be seven o'clock soon, fourth uncle, you go back! You have to buy Nanzhu from Boss Zhong tomorrow morning!"

So what if the double salary is less than ten yuan a day. With the hard work of the fourth uncle, it is definitely worth the price. After all, he had operated a log saw for several years before he was reborn, and he knew the hard work, so he would not do that Huang Shiren with harsh wages.

"Shouldn't you give these dustpans to Douchi first?" Fourth Uncle reminded Liu Xing, not knowing what was going on in Liu Xing's mind.

If you don't send it first and get some funds back, you may not be able to cry if there are changes in the future.

"Don't worry about these things, my dad must have planned it long ago!" Liu Xing looked at about four or five hundred dustpans piled up in the corner, and felt relieved that the speed had finally increased.

"Then I'll go first!" Uncle Liu Huaqing saw Liu Xing say this, patted the dust on his body, turned and left.

Liu Xing watched the fourth uncle go away, and immediately turned off the power switch of the log saw, and there were piles of wood chips piled up on the ground, which he had to dispose of before leaving get off work.

Otherwise, if there is a fire, it will be in big trouble.

Don't look at these as small things, but if you don't pay attention, it will lead to a big disaster.

When I have time, I have to talk to my fourth uncle.

"Liu Xing, come here!" From the corner near the window on the east side of the shed, mother Zhu Meiling's voice came.

"What's the matter?" Liu Xing looked up.

"I have something important to see you!" Zhu Meiling beckoned.

"Here we come!" Liu Xing had no choice but to go.

I didn't know the situation until I got closer. It turned out that my mother's five natal family members had all gone back, and now only this one named Zhu Xiuqing hadn't left. It wasn't that she didn't want to go, but that she came here by ride, and she had to go back without a ride. , I'm afraid I have to walk.

"Liu Xing, don't you have a motorcycle? Show Xiuqing off!" Mother said kindly.

"I'm not free! I'm going to get out the baskets of samples later!" Liu Xing thought for a while and directly refused: "Sister Xiuqing's home is tens of kilometers away from us, so I can send her off today." Go back, what about tomorrow? The day after tomorrow? Mom, have you ever thought about it?"

"This..." Zhu Meiling was in a dilemma when she heard the words.

Zhu Xiuqing was also very embarrassed. If she knew that she would encounter such a situation, she would not come here to do things, but this idea was quickly rejected. Her family is very poor, and it is almost impossible to get rid of it recently. I'm afraid I'll starve to death.

Liu Xing looked at Zhu Xiuqing's appearance and shook his head: "Sister, I'm not a stingy person. Your parents are long gone, and your younger sister should live in your uncle's house. What can you do when you go back? Why don't you just live in this big shed and wait?" How about I take you back after you've finished your work? Or...you can use the money you earn to buy a second-hand bicycle and ride it back. "

"That's a good idea!" Zhu Meiling nodded in agreement.

"But bicycles are very expensive. How long will it take me to afford them?" Zhu Xiuqing was moved by Liu Xing's words, but still worried.

"It's said to be a second-hand bicycle, at most ten or twenty yuan!" Liu Xing replied with a faint smile, seeing that Zhu Xiuqing didn't say anything more, he turned around and walked towards Pomiji.

There is no way, the family members only know how to make simple bamboo products, and they definitely don't know how to make this basket, so the samples of the basket that Boss Xue of the grocery store needs must be made by himself.

The first step in making bamboo baskets is to break bamboo strips.

With the opportunity to destroy the contempt, it will save a lot of things.

Seeing Liu Xing busy beside the broken machine, Zhu Xiuqing walked aside curiously: "Do you need help?"

"No need, you have been busy all day, go to rest!" Liu Xing replied without raising his head: "Out of the shed, there is a grocery store on the right to watch TV. My younger brother and sister are also there. You can Go there to kill time."

"Watching TV?" Zhu Xiuqing shook her head in a daze: "I won't go, I don't understand that thing, I'd better go weave a few dustpans!"

With that said, Zhu Xiuqing really went to weave the dustpan.

Liu Xing looked at Zhu Xiuqing who was squatting on the small bench, and felt a little touched for a moment. Logically, such a good employee would not be happy enough to do things for him, but for some reason, he always felt a little weird.

If you really use words to describe it, it is loneliness.

This elder sister named Zhu Xiuqing from her natal family is really lonely, she can't even read TV, she is so introverted and autistic to say such a thing!
"Sister!" Thinking of this, Liu Xing suddenly changed his mind, and he shouted towards where Zhu Xiuqing was, "Can you weave baskets?"

"Baskets? The baskets for picking rice?" Zhu Xiuqing looked back at Liu Xing and asked subconsciously.

"En!" Liu Xing nodded.

"Yes!" Zhu Xiuqing hesitated and replied.

"Then come and help!" Liu Xing lowered his head and began to get busy.

If Zhu Xiuqing refused to come, then his previous words should be ignored.

After a while, he heard footsteps and Zhu Xiuqing's timid voice: "Liu Xing, didn't you say you don't need my help?"

"That's for those who don't know how to make baskets, and you will be excluded!" Liu Xing replied.

"Oh!" Zhu Xiuqing smiled happily. It was really not easy for her to get Liu Xing's approval.

Seeing that Liu Xing was weaving the frame of the basket with a few pieces of stripped bamboo, he immediately stepped forward to help.

"How many years have you known the craftsmanship of a bamboo craftsman?" Liu Xing asked casually.

At the same time, his hands were nimbly weaving the thin strips on the frame. Due to the high speed, Zhu Xiuqing's eyes were wide open, so that he forgot to answer Liu Xing's question.

Liu Xing shook his head, and didn't ask any more questions at the moment.

Continue to weave the baskets.

The handwork of baskets is very complicated.

Even if there is a broken machine, coupled with his skilled craftsmanship, it will take at least one or two hours to weave a pair.

So he didn't want to waste time, and he had to make the big wooden barrel for the soup after dinner!

Zhu Xiuqing came to her senses at this moment, and she flicked her hair on her forehead in embarrassment: "When I was five years old, I learned the craft of a bamboo strip maker from my parents, and it has been more than ten years now! Basically Like dustpans, bamboo baskets, fish baskets and other bamboo products, there is nothing I can’t do.”

"By the way! Your grandfather's craft is still learned from my grandfather!" Zhu Xiuqing added with a sweet smile.

The implication is that Liu Xing's bamboo craftsmanship is learned from your grandfather, so don't underestimate her.
