Jiang Michia paused for a moment and then said, "Well, I think Manager Zhou is too busy in the tea garden, and I'm afraid he won't have time to do small things. You can give me sixty coins for a basket, and we can give him this strap as well."

Just tie it up and pick it up and use it when the time comes.”

"The straps are made of hemp rope. The length is adjustable. The shoulders are wrapped with thick pieces of coarse cloth. They are strong and durable and don't tighten the shoulders. What do you think, Manager Zhou?"

The girl in front of me has thought very carefully, even considering the hemp rope to rub her shoulders.

Zhou Xing nodded one after another, "Okay, as you said, sixty cents each, fifty cents, a total of three taels of silver, how many days can you deliver the goods?"

Jiang Youcheng made a rough calculation and said, "It will take half a month."

In fact, it would only take about ten days, but it was the first time to do such a big business. Jiang Youcheng was not sure, so he kept talking for two or three days.

"The time is about the same." Zhou Xing said, "How much deposit do you have to pay?"

"One tael of silver." Jiang Michia replied.

Zhou Xing nodded in agreement, asked the clerk to bring a pen and paper, and wrote a simple note.

After writing it, Jiang Chunshi took a look at it to make sure it was correct.

Jiang Youcheng pressed his fingerprint on the place where the name Jiang Youcheng was located in Jiangjia Village, and Zhou Xing gave him a deposit.

At this point, the business was completely settled.

After leaving the tea garden, the group headed to Jiangjia Village.

On the way back, Jiang San drove the ox cart faster than when he came.

After arriving home, Jiang Youcheng started busy, and even left Jiang Chunshi at home to help chop bamboo, saw bamboo, and split bamboo pieces.

In this case, he could pay Jiang Chunshi's wages legitimately later on, and also pay back the hundred yuan that Jiang Youfu gave to his family earlier.

The family was busy until dark.

After Jiang Chunshi returned home, the family ate and did some work. When the night got really dark and the whole family yawned from sleepiness, they tidied up and went back to sleep.

Been busy for several days.

Jiang Chunshi was quick at work and was able to produce qualified bamboo strips along with him. He even helped to modify the bamboo strips' hatchet.

The original hatchet was not thick enough for splitting bamboo slices. Although the blade was sharp, because the knife was thin, it was easy to get stuck in the gaps and difficult to push down.

Use wood chips to thicken the blade, and when splitting, just open the bamboo slices to make splitting easier.

"This new machete made by Chun Shi is really good." Mrs. Liu praised it, "This kid has a quick brain and can succeed in anything he does in the future."

"I don't dare to let him listen. If I listen, I don't know why my eyes grow to the top of my head." Fang smiled and put the needle on his scalp, rubbed it, and pierced it into the piece of coarse cloth in his hand.

When it came to sewing straps for bamboo baskets, Mrs. Liu felt that she was not good at needlework. She was afraid that such a large business would go wrong because of her clumsy hands and feet, so she invited Jiang Chunshi's daughter-in-law Fang to sew.

When the time comes, I will pay Mr. Fang by the amount.

The cotton has been planted in the past two days, and there is not much farm work in the fields. The third aunt opened her mouth again, and Fang came to help.

As for whether it was money or not, she didn't really care.

"It doesn't matter where the eyes are, just remember to do the work with these hands and feet." Mrs. Liu joked, found a good-looking piece of cloth in her hands, tore it into thin strips of cloth, and tied it to Jiang Maihua's hair.

Two-year-old Jiang Maihua, who was chubby and had big eyes, reached out to touch the top of her head and pointed it out to Ms. Fang happily, "Liang (Mother), beautiful."

"Beautiful, the wheat flowers are the most beautiful." Fang praised them.

Jiang Maihua happily went on to play with the bamboo ball Jiang Youcheng made for her, kicking it here and there with her little feet, enjoying herself a lot.

"It's almost this time, why haven't Xiaoxia and the others come back yet?" Fang Fang looked around.

Jiang Michia and Song Jingyun went to cut bamboo, and this time they specially pulled a platoon cart.

Originally Jiang Chunshi was going to go, but Jiang Michia said that he might not be able to pull the car, so it would be more appropriate for her to go.

If it were other matters, Jiang Chunshi could still refute a few words, but in this case, he really couldn't refute it.

Not to mention that his strength is not as good as Jiang Michia, even if he and Jiang Youcheng are combined, they can only be barely tied.

So Jiang Chunshi agreed to cut bamboo strips at home and let Jiang Michia and Song Jingyun chop the bamboo together.

"I guess this girl is greedy and will come back after cutting more. It's okay, Jingyun is following her." Mrs. Liu said with a smile.

Mrs. Fang laughed when she heard this, "The third aunt has great trust in her brother-in-law."

"This is strange, Jing Yun. He is skinny, has little strength, and behaves very childishly. Xiaoxia has to follow him in everything he does. It is said that this kind of appearance makes people most uneasy."

Mrs. Liu raised her eyebrows, "But just because he is with Xiaoxia, I feel very at ease. I can't even explain why. Anyway, I feel very at ease."

"To put it bluntly, even if your third uncle follows Xiaoxia, I have never felt so at ease."

"Then we can only say that this brother-in-law is a good match arranged by God for Xiao Xia. He has a good horoscope and good luck. There may be great blessings in the future."

"Then the third aunt will lend you some good words..."

Here, Jiang Michia and Song Jingyun are cutting bamboo.

Seeing that the number was about the same, Jiang Michia decided to finish cutting down the tree in their hands and take the bamboo home.

Most of Song Jingyun's bamboo has been cut down, and with just one cut, the bamboo will fall down.

So Song Jingyun used 100% of his strength for this last blow.

"Bang!"

"Whoosh!"

After two different sounds, Jiang Michia felt a white light fly past her eyes.

Looking again, all that was left in Song Jingyun's hand was the handle of the machete.

Song Jingyun was also stunned and at a loss because of this sudden accident.

"I guess the chopping took too long, and the handle became loose. You were so energetic just now..." Jiang Michia didn't even bother to chop the bamboo, and just looked around, "Look around."

The blade was made of pure iron, heavy, and worth a lot of money. I lost it for nothing and felt very sad.

"Okay." Song Jingyun responded, bowing his waist and following the direction where the machete flew out just now, searching carefully like Jiang Michia.

Soon, Song Jingyun stopped and squatted down to pick it up.

"Found it?" Jiang Michia ran over.

"Probably..." Song Jingyun picked up the thing.

It was a fat, heavy rabbit, with blood dripping from its neck. Embedded in its flesh was Song Jingyun's machete.

Jiang Michia, "..."

"Yes, it's a bit of a catch. This rabbit is quite big. I'll go back and burn it at noon."

"Is rabbit meat delicious?" Song Jingyun asked.

He has never eaten rabbit meat.

"Let me make it stewed. It's very delicious. Wild rabbits run around all day long. The meat must be fresh and tender. I'm sure you'll want to eat two bowls." Jiang Michia didn't forget to swallow a mouthful of saliva while he was talking.

She couldn't eat meat all the time, and she was really greedy.

So fresh and tender.

Song Jingyun also smacked his lips, but felt a little regretful.
