Farmer girl with space for good farming

Chapter 85 Sophora japonica's Despair (1)

"It's nothing, I just want my third uncle to help me make some baskets." Mu Li said.

"What did I think it was? It turned out to be this. Your third uncle wove a lot of baskets a few days ago. I'll get you two here." Miao Shi smiled, and then went back to the room to get them.

"No, the basket I want is not an ordinary back basket, it's the shape drawn on this straw paper." After stopping her, Mu Li showed her the paper.

"What kind of basket is this? Why is the neck of the basket so narrow, so it's hard to get things out of it." Miao Shi looked at the shape of the basket on the straw paper, puzzled.

"It's because I wanted this kind of effect that I came to Third Uncle to order it specially." Mu Li said.

"You child, I don't even know what you're talking about. What's the use of this kind of basket? It's just a strange shape. It's so long and narrow, it's not as useful as a normal backpack..." Miao Shi said.

"Third Aunt, to tell you the truth, I actually want to use this basket to catch loaches." Mu Li explained.

Hearing Mu Li's words, Miao Shi's reaction was the same as that of Mu Feng, what kind of basket do you need to catch loach?
But since she wants it, let's make one for her to play with. This girl used to be timid and didn't know how to call people, but now that she hasn't seen her for a few months, she has become much more lively.

"I don't want one, I want five, and I'll pay for it, five cents for each basket."

Mu Li said, she didn't come here to take advantage. The third uncle's family has already helped her family very much. I didn't talk about it before if I didn't have money. Now she still has more than 25 Wen in her pocket, and there is still a lot left after paying [-] Wen. If you can catch loach and buy it, the money you earn can be doubled several times.

"You girl, what kind of money is it? Why does my own uncle say such distant words?" Miao Shi gave her a strange look and said, "But what do you want five of you to do? Is this basket catching loaches one by one?"

Mu Li didn't explain too much, and asked her if she could make up the basket with the shape on the paper.

"That's no problem. As long as it's not too complicated, Brother Sheng can make it up. Although Brother Sheng is not at home now, Brother Xun can also make it up. I'll ask Brother Xun to make it up for you to see if it's okay..."

Miao Shi said, and then he went into the room and shouted for his eldest son to come out.
Mu Xun had heard the conversation between his mother and his cousin in the yard long ago, so he didn't say anything when his mother called him. He came out of the yard with a bundle of wicker in his arms, and weaved it according to the shape on the straw paper.

Although Mu Xun is young, he has been taught by his third uncle about weaving. Mu Li also tells him the size and shape of the basket from time to time. In less than an hour, the basket is already woven.

The basket specially used for catching loaches has a wide bottom and a wide mouth, and the upper middle part is narrower. This shape is to ensure that loaches or fish are easy to get in and difficult to get out.

"Second cousin, you are so powerful, you have made a basket in such a short time." This is fast enough.

Holding the basket, Mu Li exclaimed, the wicker was intricately woven one by one, forming the shape of the basket.

Mu Xun was a little embarrassed by her compliments. He was a 12-year-old boy, tall, thin, and handsome, just like a real farm boy, with a pure and honest appearance.

"Hey, brother Xun often makes this stuff like his father, how can he not be happy, it's been a long time, usually he can make two in an hour..." Miao Shi was angry at her family for being so stupid. Liuqiu's son said to her.
