AWB Chapter 200 Cutting Bamboo
Chapter 200 Cutting Bamboo
Anyway, he had heard many people had tried to make oil-paper umbrellas before, but they all failed. Not only did they fail, but they also lost all their savings.
Because oil-paper umbrellas are very expensive, they are generally used by wealthy families. Ordinary people like them are not qualified to use them.
When the women of the Liu family heard this, they were all very surprised and delighted. Could Zhao Laoer's family also make such a precious thing?
You know, what would happen if their family learned this craft?
"Yes, by then we will also have to make straw raincoats and other types of umbrellas. Anyway, we will take our time. But let me be frank. My family hasn't started this yet. Even if we start, only whoever makes it will know about it. We have to sign a confidentiality agreement and the production method cannot be disclosed. Otherwise, we will be sued. So, you can either consider it and reply to me in a few days." Zhao Guocheng explained the interests involved.
After all, this is no joke. If the production method is leaked, the loss will be huge.
"There's nothing to consider. I'll sign the confidentiality agreement. Don't worry, none of my family members are that kind of people." Liu Chuanmu waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to worry at all.
The others also nodded seriously, as if to assure him.
"Okay, this is why I like your family. Why don't I look for someone else but you? It's not just because you have good character, but also because you know how to do things and behave yourself." Zhao Guocheng said with a smile.
Liu Jinfu was very happy. He felt that his life was worth it to be recognized by Zhao Guocheng.
Liu Chuanshan was also very happy. His younger brother had a better way, and maybe he would have the same in the future. As long as he worked hard and down-to-earth, it would be his turn sooner or later.
Liu Chuanmu's situation was much simpler. He felt that Zhao Guocheng was a capable person and it was right to listen to him. He was willing to follow Zhao Guocheng.
Didn’t you see that his son Tietou was following behind Shengzi and Huizi?
These are feelings that we have had since childhood.
Who would have thought that Tietou could go to school before? If it weren’t for the fact that Liu Qizon, the eldest brother’s son, was too old to go to a private school, the eldest brother would definitely have sent him to a private school.
But now Tietou teaches Liu Qizon how to read every day after school, and they have a lot of fun.
Liu Qizon followed Liu Jinfu to do carpentry work at home and learned it very well.
If I learn well in the future, maybe I can join Zhao’s workshop.
The whole family felt that their life had a bright future, so naturally they no longer had any objections to Tietou Shang Private School.
After Zhao Guocheng left, the Liu family quickly started discussing the matter. Liu Jinfu even asked the women in the family not to go out and say anything and not to mention a word.
The women naturally agreed, knowing the seriousness of the matter.
The next day, Liu Chuanmu came to Zhao Laoer's house according to the workshop working hours.
"Uncle Liu is here. Please sit for a while and wait for me to get ready." Zhao Shiying smiled when she saw Liu Chuanmu coming.
"Oh, no rush, you go ahead and do your work first." Liu Chuanmu nodded.
I don’t know what to do, I can only wait for a while.
But Zhao Shiying was ready soon, and at this time Mr. Tai also came into the yard.
"Little one, where are we going to play today?" Old Man Tai asked with a smile while running and jumping, holding a withered weed in his mouth.
"Let's go up the mountain today. Your aunt will take you to cut bamboo." Zhao Shiying patted her chest.
"It's not little aunt, it's little kid. Let's go cut some bamboo." Grandpa Tai corrected.
Zhao Shiying: Now Grandpa Tai is no longer epileptic. Does epilepsy occur in fits and starts?
I felt that Grandpa Tai’s brain had become a little more normal before, but in the past two days it has deteriorated again.
Sadness! How can one word describe sadness?
Zhao Shiying nodded and shouted, "Let's go." Liu Chuanmu took the machete and rope and followed.
Old Man Tai followed Zhao Shiying directly, asking questions and paying attention to his surroundings, especially after going up the mountain.
Because of the wolf attack on the village before, no one dared to go up the mountain for a long time. Probably because the New Year was approaching, some people took advantage of the good weather to go up the mountain to collect firewood or pick some wild vegetables.
No one dares to go deep into the mountains, so usually several people walk together at the foot of the mountain.
This shows how much impact the last incident had on the villagers.
They were going up the mountain to cut bamboo. With Grandpa Tai and Liu Chuanmu around, Zhao Shiying was not afraid. But Zhao Guocheng was worried and followed them, picking up a backpack. Zhao Shiying and the others walked a long way before they caught up.
Along the way, he stepped on the fresh wild vegetables that had grown with great difficulty, while looking around.
When they arrived at the bamboo forest, several people began to cut bamboo.
The bamboos selected are all more than four years old.
After they cut down six logs, the three men each carried two logs home.
Old man Tai had no idea that a lunatic like him had to do hard labor. He was really screwed by his young lady.
This title originated from a story. One day, Zhao Shiying asked Grandpa Tai to tell her a story. Grandpa Tai told her a story about a little girl. Then, Zhao Shiying began to admire him.
Then she called herself "little aunt" and asked Grandpa Tai to call her that, which made Grandpa Tai regret telling this story.
Zhao Shiying asked Grandpa Tai to tell the story behind this, but he refused to tell it even if she beat him to death. Who would have thought that just a story would give him an aunt in his old age? Who could he complain to?
Zhao Guocheng was also holding a backpack. Although the basket was very large, there were not many wild vegetables in it, just enough to stir-fry one dish.
Zhao Shiying was going to walk down the mountain, and it was still safer for her to walk in the middle. The last one to walk was Zhao Guocheng, the first one to walk was Liu Chuanmu, followed by Old Man Tai, then Zhao Shiying, and finally Zhao Guocheng.
It was almost noon when I got home.
If Zhao Shiying hadn't walked so slowly, and everyone had taken care of the little one's steps, they would have returned long ago.
After returning, Zhao Guocheng was not idle either. He started to cut the bamboo into sections.
When we were in the mountains, we just cut off the branches and left the main bamboo trunk.
Liu Chuanmu was also not idle, helping with the work.
When it was time for lunch, Liu Chuanmu wanted to go home to eat, but was stopped.
"Why go home? My family can't afford to eat less for you. Eat here. Erbazi and Shuanzi have just returned from work. There are so many people in my family, so I don't mind having one more bite for you. Let's go and eat." Zhao Guocheng said, waving his hand.
Liu Chuanmu had no choice but to follow him into the house.
Since there were more people here, a room was vacated and used as the main hall and dining place.
There were two tables, and the dishes were also served on two tables.
There is one table for women and children, and one table for men.
When there are no outsiders, the Zhao family sits at one table, and the rest of the people sit at another table.
Of course, this is not a fixed seat.
Liu Chuanmu still likes to eat at Zhao Laoer's house. After all, the dishes are delicious, and they use a lot of oil and meat.
After dinner, Liu Chuanmu started working again.
According to Zhao Shiying, Zhao Guocheng also worked along and only went to the workshop when it was time to work. Zhao Guocheng also took out a confidentiality agreement that had been prepared in advance, and Liu Chuanmu signed it without saying a word.
