After everything was ready, Xu Qing sat on the small bench at the door and began to process the bamboo he had bought.
Calming down, Xu Qing recalled the feeling of weaving bamboo in his memory for a while and then began to try it out.
First, he took a bamboo and cut it into two halves. Then, he continued to cut it into thin strips. Not long after, Xu Qing had cut a complete bamboo into thin bamboo strips.
Although it was Xu Qing's first time doing it, he was extremely skilled. His every move was smooth and perfect, as if he was a veteran artist who had been in this industry for many years.
After processing the first bamboo, he felt a sense of satisfaction and a different sense of accomplishment.
Xu Qing looked at his smooth palm and couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile.
This skill was really not bad. His 50 consecutive draws were not in vain.
Then, Xu Qing did the same thing and cut all the bamboo into thin bamboo strips. He took more than ten thin bamboo strips and cut them into suitable lengths before starting to weave.
The slender and flexible bamboo strips were like soft threads. Xu Qing moved his ten fingers and intertwined them together like a flower rope. Then, they gradually took shape and turned into a bamboo hat.
A green bamboo hat!
Xu Qing suddenly slapped his forehead and remembered that he seemed to have forgotten to bake the bamboo strips.
After the bamboo strips were baked, the color would slightly yellow, the texture would be tougher, and it would be easier for them to be deformed during weaving.
Fortunately, the skill given by the system was powerful. Even without this step, he still succeeded.
"Brother, you're so awesome!"
Rongrong had also come out. She was squatting at the side, looking at the bamboo hat in Xu Qing's hand with admiration.
Xu Qing looked at her in amusement and casually covered Rongrong's little head with the bamboo hat.
It had to be said that this was really well done. Every bamboo piece on the bamboo hat was neat and orderly. Coupled with the green color that represented nature, it was simply the finishing touch.
Just as Xu Qing was exclaiming over his cooking skills, Rongrong, who was wearing a bamboo hat, was extremely happy.
Rongrong held the big bamboo hat on her head with her small hand and hopped to the yard, running in circles."Big brother made the bamboo hat! Brother made the bamboo hat!"
After dancing happily for a while, Rongrong ran straight back into the house."Rongrong wants to show it to Mommy."
Not long after, Rongrong ran out again.
Li Xiaoyun followed closely behind with a bamboo hat in her hand.
It was the one that Xu Qing had just made.
"Little Qing, did you really do this?”
Li Xiaoyun was a little surprised. She thought that her son was just playing around. She didn't expect Xu Qing to really make it.
Xu Qing smiled." Of course I did it. Hehe, it's not bad."”
"I'll make some simple things first. When I know how to make more things in the future, I can make furniture for my family and sell them for money.”
Hearing her son's sensible words, Li Xiaoyun had mixed feelings. She felt a lump in her throat and didn't know what to say.
Suppressing the complicated emotions in her heart, she said,"Xiao Qing, you're still young. Studying is your main priority now. Don't worry, our family is much better than before.”
Now that they had three old hens that laid eggs and the big fish that Xu Qing caught from time to time, the family's life was indeed much better than before.
Xu Qing was not at ease. After all, there would be a time when the chicken feed would be used up. Fishing was not a long-term opportunity. If he wanted to live a good life, he had to have some stable income.
He was too young to do anything to earn money. With this skill, of course, he had to make good use of it.
"Mom! Don't worry, you don't know my grades! Doing these things can also help me kill some time.”
Xu Qing said with a smile. He really didn't spend much effort in school. Every day, he was leisurely waiting for class to end and go home.
"Mom can't win against you. It's good that you know it yourself.”Li Xiaoyun also smiled. This son of hers was smarter than her, so she really didn't need to worry about him.
Compared to his son, who he was proud of, was his daughter?
Li Xiaoyun glanced over and saw Rongrong playing with bamboo scraps on the ground.
Xu Qing had scraped off the bamboo chips. Each of them was as thin as a strand of hair. Rongrong was holding them in her hands and rubbing them into balls.
Xu Qing also looked at his silly sister.
Rongrong was squatting on the ground, playing with small balls made of bamboo scraps like marbles.
Xu Qing laughed and shook her head. Then, she looked at Li Xiaoyun."Mom, bring Rongrong in! I can't concentrate with Rongrong here.”
Xu Qing was telling the truth. With this little girl here, if he was stabbed by the bamboo piece, Xu Qing would have a headache.
Li Xiaoyun nodded with a smile and picked up Rongrong. She was still cooking in her room.
However, Rongrong did not agree. She kicked her short legs hard and shouted,"" Rongrong won't go, Rongrong won't go. Rongrong wants to see brother make bamboo weaving…"
However, Li Xiaoyun ignored her nonsense and dragged Rongrong back into the house.
With the little girl gone, Xu Qing was relieved.
He began to ponder in his heart. There was not much he could do now. What should he do?
Bamboo basket, bamboo basket, bamboo mat…they all seemed pretty good!
In the end, Xu Qing decided to make a bamboo basket so that Li Xiaoyun could go shopping.
Xu Qing picked up the bamboo strips at his feet and began weaving again.
At this moment, Liu Haizhong, the second uncle, came out of his house with an porcelain cup in his hand. He was about to play chess with Yan Bugui.
Suddenly, he saw Xu Qing sitting in front of his house with a bamboo stick in his hand, as if he was fiddling with something.
Yan Bugui was curious and walked over,""Xu Qing, what are you doing?？”
Xu Qing glanced at him and didn't mind. He continued to do his work."Second Uncle, I'm making a bamboo basket!"
"Bamboo basket?" The Second Uncle was amused. The fat on his face squeezed into a ball and he laughed disdainfully."Heh, you brat, you know how to make bamboo? Don't waste anything."
