Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth
Chapter 222: Trying to Make a Wine Basket
"I heard that my cousin used to make a living in the state capital. Why did he come back?"
"Of course it's because of you, my cousin Yan."
"Me?" Gu Yan was a little confused.
"Yes, it was because of your business of weaving baskets that my family called me back home!"
Gu Da smiled and said, "Come to think of it, cousin Wen Zheng's previous craftsmanship was quite good."
Gu Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at him inquiringly: "Oh?"
"Alas, a good man should not brag about his past achievements. I haven't touched these for several years, and my skills have long been rusty.
I heard that cousin Yan is very good at weaving baskets."
"Skills must be practiced frequently, as the saying goes, 'Practice makes perfect'.
However, thank you for your attention, cousin."
"You're welcome, you're welcome!"
Ji Wenzheng waved his hands repeatedly, "In the future, I want to be like my cousin Yan, do basket weaving well, and strive to make a lot of money!"
"Well, you have ambition." Gu Yan encouraged, "As long as you work hard, you will be able to do it."
After hearing this, Ji Wenzhen felt warm in his heart.
He felt that this cousin Yan was not only smart and capable, but also kind and friendly, making people want to get close to him.
"Cousin Yan, don't worry, I will do my best!" Ji Wenzhen patted his chest and promised.
"That's good." Gu Yan nodded with satisfaction. "If you have any questions, you can always ask me or Dadi and the others."
"Thank you, cousin Yan!" Ji Wenzheng burst into tears of gratitude, "I will definitely not let you down!"
In this way, Ji Wenzhen joined Gu Yan's team and began his basket weaving journey.
Although the future is uncertain, he is full of confidence and courage.
"By the way, I came here today to talk to my cousins Ren and Da."
Gu Ren went into the house and heard, "Looking for me?"
"Well, let's talk at my house."
"Row."
"Cousin Ji, come along too."
They talked as they walked, and soon they arrived at Gu's house.
Since there were people in the front yard, Gu Yan took everyone to the back yard.
In order to facilitate the inspection and storage of woven baskets, a large bamboo house was built in the backyard, which is equipped with all the necessary tools.
But it’s a little empty in here now, after all, all the goods were delivered yesterday.
Gu Yan took out a few drawings drawn by Gu Qingzhi, showed them to a few people, and then explained:
“I’ve asked you all to come here to discuss these new styles of baskets.
Today we are going to try several types of baskets.
The basket is used to hold porcelain bottles. It is not empty inside, and grids must be woven to facilitate fixing of the porcelain bottles.
Therefore, the size requirement is very strict, and it must be woven according to this size. "
Only then did they realize what those grids inside were used for. It turned out that they were used to hold porcelain bottles.
It seems that the purpose of this grid is to fix things, so the size is controlled so strictly!
After explaining, Gu Yan looked at them and asked, "Do you think it can be made up?"
Gu Ren and Gu Da were both a little hesitant. To be honest, they had never woven such a special basket before and were not very confident.
Gu Yan didn't put too much pressure on them. He already knew how to weave the basket. He asked them to come over and do it together so that they could watch and learn it faster.
After all, time is limited now.
In fact, after editing it once or twice, these are not too difficult for people who are used to it.
But the details required great precision and meticulousness, so he immediately thought of the Gu Ren brothers.
"I'll make one first, and you guys can take a look."
"Um," Ji Wenzheng touched his nose and raised his hand, asking, "Can I see it?"
"Of course, they are all family members."
Gu Yan had a good impression of Ji Wen Zheng. He had a clear gaze and decent manners, but he didn't sound rigid when he spoke.
"Cousin, you try it later." Gu Yan wanted to see his strength.
Hard work pays off. With the efforts of Gu Yan and others, they finally succeeded in weaving a satisfactory basket.
Three baskets of different specifications and exquisite workmanship were placed in front of Gu Yan.
The baskets are woven very tightly with almost no gaps, and each basket has a matching lid that can completely cover the mouth of the basket to prevent dust from entering.
The handles of the basket are also woven very sturdily and will not break easily.
Gu Yan carefully observed the three baskets and felt that their quality and workmanship were excellent, and he couldn't help but feel satisfied.
So he said to the three men, "Cousin, this basket is well made. Since it is used to hold wine bottles, let's call it a wine basket."
Several people thought so, and Gu Yan continued,
"You guys continue weaving, I'll test it first to see if it works!"
After saying that, Gu Yan picked up the three baskets and turned to walk towards the front yard.
After Gu Yan returned to the front yard, he planned to take a few bottles of wine to test the size.
He came to the room where the wine vats were placed and found that Wang had already prepared dozens of bottles of wine.
At this moment, these wines are neatly placed on the counter, looking very refined and elegant.
Gu Yan placed all the woven baskets on the ground, then took out wine bottles of corresponding sizes from the cabinet and placed them in different woven baskets.
It turned out that the baskets were exactly the right size, without any error.
The bottles fit snugly into the baskets, as if they were designed for this purpose.
Then, Gu Yan fastened the lid, picked up the basket full of wine bottles, and shook it gently.
Surprisingly, no sound was made.
He opened the lid of the basket again and found that the wine bottle was still firmly embedded in the basket, with no signs of looseness.
After some attempts, Gu Yan finally felt relieved.
It seems that this method is indeed feasible and the effect is very good.
He couldn't help but secretly feel fortunate that thanks to Qingqing's wit and hard work, he was able to find such a practical and beautiful solution.
Just as Gu Yan was thinking about what to do with the wine next, Gu Qingzhi walked in.
In her hand she held a stack of cut oil paper, apparently intended for packaging.
After seeing Gu Yan, she ran over excitedly and asked curiously, "Brother, you finished these baskets so quickly?"
Gu Yan smiled and replied: "Yes, I just tried it, and the effect is quite good."
As he spoke, he motioned for Gu Qingzhi to go over and check the basket and asked for her opinion.
Gu Qingzhi came to the basket, squatted down and took a closer look, a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
She praised: "Brother, these baskets are not only practical, but also very delicately made!"
"By the way, brother, I have prepared a stack of oil paper here~"
Having said that, Gu Qingzhi quickly handed it over.
Gu Yan took it and looked at it, only to see the five big words "Tang Dynasty Wine" written on it.
"Well, that's good. Qingqing has considered it very carefully." Gu Yan praised.
