Rebirth: Back To 1990s novel Chapter 4

It was absolutely not an easy thing to weave vegetable baskets and fruit plates with bamboo. First, the bamboo needed to be squeezed, and then refined into bamboo pieces. After that, the bamboo was dissected into green bamboo pieces and yellow bamboo pieces. And then, according to the need, the bamboo skin part was divided into green strips or steel strings. The wide strips, which had been carefully designed, were going to be thick and even, with green and white sharply contrasted. Next, different parts of them were becoming different sections.

In a word, the work of cutting and sharpening was very detailed, and it needed many years of practice before one could become proficient in it. Fortunately, Wendy had been doing the work in the past few years, and it was not difficult to do it for her.

In the following three days, Wendy made nine delicate vegetable baskets and eighteen fruit plates. Celia just made some small pieces like birds. In addition, on the mountain, there were a few wild fruit trees covered with red persimmons. So each of them picked a basket of persimmons and went to the city.

For there were more than forty miles away from the town, Celia and her mother got up early at 3 a.m.

Usually, the dustpans and boults they made were sold in the market that was less than ten miles away. Very few people went to the city. After all, the residents there didn't follow the plough, so they didn't need such things. But the food baskets and fruit plates were different, which were more close to the needs of the city people.

It took Celia and her mother more than four and a half hours. When they arrived at the town, it was almost 8 o'clock.

"Celia, the town is so big. We are unfamiliar with the place. Where can we sell these food baskets and fruit plates? Standing in the city and watching people coming and going, Wendy was confused and didn't know what to do.

"Market! After all, there are a lot of people shopping for groceries there. " Celia said without any hesitation. She seemed to have a plan in mind already.

"Celia, do you think there will be anyone who likes the vegetable baskets and fruit dishes I make?" Wendy looked at Celia sheepishly and felt rather uneasy.

"Mom, don't we agree that you're the one in charge of the braid and I'll sell them? Now you don't have to worry about anything. All you need to do is to stand by and watch. I promise I will sell all these vegetable baskets and fruits plates. " Celia said with confidence. She was at least the CEO of the world's top five hundred. If she couldn't sell such things, she wouldn't have to stay.

The two of them found a relatively wide space in front of a large food market of the town and then placed their vegetable baskets and fruits plates straight. It was bustling with flow.

There were almost everything you could sell in the market, except bamboo baskets and fruit trays.

At the beginning, no one came to buy their products. After all, these people came to the market to buy food, and it was convenient for them to just use plastic bags. So few people stop by at their place.

About ten minutes later, Wendy, who had been squatting next to Celia, got a little nervous. She said anxiously, "Celia, is this going to work? I constantly feel that these vegetable baskets and fruits plates can't be sold out. Are they not good-looking? Shall we go back? "

Wendy felt guilty. She was afraid that she didn't do things well. When the basket hadn't been sold at the moment, she looked for problems on herself first and thought that she messed things up

However, Celia was very calm and said peacefully, "Mom, we've just been here for about ten minutes. Take your time. Besides, you have seen the flow of people here. There will be someone who likes our bamboo products. "

As she spoke, a little girl with two small pigtails came over and squatted in front of them. She stared at the bamboo birds woven by Celia and had a great affection for the birds.

Seeing this, Celia picked up a bird and asked softly, "little sweetie, do you like this?"

"Yes, I do." She gave Celia a timid look and said innocently.
