Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth
Chapter 74 Sending Pheasant to Gu Chen
Gu Qingzhi's memory is very good now. After trying many times, she found that she could remember everything she saw, which was an unexpected surprise.
Gu Wang raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect her daughter to be interested in this aspect. This was really unexpected!
However, if my daughter likes it, let her do it. She is not the kind of pedantic parent who thinks that a girl’s virtue lies in her lack of talent. In her opinion, girls should learn more things. It is true that having many skills is always good. Only then will they have more confidence in their husband’s family.
After collecting the herbs, Gu Wang looked at the sky and said, "Qing'er, take your time to collect the rest. Mother has to go prepare dinner."
Gu Qingzhi nodded and stretched, "Okay, mother, I can do these by myself."
Gu Wang nodded with satisfaction, turned around and took two steps before stopping, "By the way, Qing'er, I have made Erlang's clothes. When he comes back, ask him to try them on. If they don't fit, I will make alterations."
So fast? Mother is really fast. "Yes, thank you, mother. I will tell my brother."
At this moment, Gu Yan was at Gu Chen's house.
"Uncle, this is a pheasant that Qingqing and I caught in the mountains. I brought one here for you and Auntie to taste."
Gu Yan knocked on the door of Gu Chen's house holding a pheasant.
Gu Chen quickly invited people in.
Gu Yan had never been to Gu Chen's house before. This was his first time. As soon as he arrived, he brought a pheasant. Wow, this pheasant was so fat. It looked like it must weigh four or five kilograms.
Meat is precious these days. Gu Chen rubbed his hands and didn't dare to take it. "Kid, just come and play. Why are you being so polite? Take this chicken back and eat it yourself."
Gu Yan stuffed the pheasant into the hands of Gu Da, who was watching the fun, without saying anything. "There are more at home. Qingqing and I were lucky today when we went up the mountain. We caught two pheasants in the trap we set."
"Uncle, just accept it. Let's go in. I have something to discuss with you."
Gu Chen paused, attracted by what Gu Yan said, "What is it? If it's about hiring a car, your second aunt has already told me. I will take you into the city tomorrow."
Gu Yan waved his hand, "Uncle, it's not that."
After entering Gu Chen's house, Gu Yan looked around calmly. Among the people living in Shengtangli, except for the headman's house, he had never been to any other house.
Gu Chen's yard was obviously much smaller than the village head's, but the small yard was kept very clean and tidy.
He noticed a half-woven basket in the southeast corner of the yard. He pointed at it and asked, "Uncle, did you weave that?"
Gu Chen looked in the direction Gu Yan pointed and shook his head, "No, this was written by your brother Da."
Gu Da, who was following behind with a fluttering pheasant in his hand, heard his name and quickly squeezed next to Gu Yan, laughing, "Brother Yan, it's me. I made this basket."
As he spoke, he pointed to a corner where there were five or six stacked baskets. "See? Over there. I made all of them."
Isn’t it very strong and dense? He is not bragging about the baskets he weaves. No one in this area can compare with him.
Gu Chen was simply too embarrassed to look at him. How could this idiot be showing off like a peacock spreading its tail feathers?
However, the weaving craftsmanship is indeed impeccable.
All the men in his family can do this, but none of them can weave as well and quickly as he does. Even in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, he dared to say that his silly second son's weaving skills were among the best.
Gu Yan paused and walked towards where the basket was placed.
Gu Chen was a little confused. No, he wasn't here to talk about anything. Why was he interested in a basket?
"Uncle, this is what I am looking for. I need some baskets recently. I wonder if Dadi has time to help me weave some?"
"It's not in vain. I can pay the market price for each one."
Gu Yan went straight to the point, and this was also the purpose of his visit.
Of course, he had intended to knit some when he had time.
But recently he wanted to build a fence for game, and Qingqing wanted a pond, so he had less time to spend on these things. Also, Qingqing needed some baskets and drying mats to dry the wild chrysanthemums.
Although he usually didn't interact with the villagers, he knew a little about the situation of each household. Naturally, he knew that the second child of Gu Chen's family was a good knitter.
Besides, they took the initiative to show goodwill yesterday and helped him build a donkey shed...
He observed yesterday and found that both of them were capable people.
This job can be left to them.
Gu Chen and his son were stunned. What did they hear?
Every farmer's household has it, and there are few people who don't know how to weave it. They all learn it since childhood. Now Gu Yan wants to buy it at the market price?
Gu Chen reacted and waved his hand quickly, "Brother Yan, don't talk about buying or not. If you want, there are several new ones over there, you can use them now."
Gu Yan stopped Gu Chen from speaking, "Uncle, I'm serious. What's more, I want a large quantity. Besides, I have requirements for the size of the basket. I can't let you work for nothing."
Gu Da reacted quickly and realized that the other person didn't want to take advantage of them. Well, this cousin could get along.
Moreover, he was indeed interested in this job. "Brother Yan, what do you want me to do?"
"The basket I want should be able to hold about 100 kilograms of goods, about this size." Gu Yan said while gesturing, "I have one at home, you can come over and see the size later."
"A basket like this sells for 4 cents at the market. The one I want is big, and it's 8 cents a basket."
"How about it, can you do it?"
Gu Yan laid out his requirements and the price he could offer one by one, looked at Gu Chen and his son, and waited for them to express their opinions.
Gu Chen and his son were both stunned when they heard this. One basket costs 8 coins! Most people can make one or two baskets of this kind a day. Gu Da is fast and can make three or four baskets. Even if Gu Yan wants a bigger basket, two or three baskets a day is no problem at all.
He just said how much a load costs, 8 wen! That means 24 wen a day! It's almost as much as the price of hiring a bullock cart.
When Gu Chen pulled the ox cart, it was only 1 cent per person. A trip could carry up to 8 people, and the maximum fare was 8 cents. A round trip was 16 cents, and the maximum number of trips per day was two!
And it’s impossible for so many people to sit on the bull every day.
Just weaving baskets at home can earn you more than twenty cents?
Gu Da immediately answered loudly, "Yes, we can do it!"
He was afraid that if he answered slowly, Gu Yan would not want him to write the story anymore.
Gu Chen was a little slow to react, but he thought more about it. Although the price of a basket of this stuff in the market was 4 cents, there was no demand for this thing.
These things are for farmers to use, but, for serious farmers, these skills are learned since childhood. How many of them need to go to the market to buy them?
