Chapter 110: Working together, bamboo baskets sell well
After the troops were divided into two groups, Ye Bai and Uncle Jia Lin went straight home. They first split the bamboo strips and cut them into pieces of suitable size.
Since both of them were skilled bamboo craftsmen, they started working quite quickly.
The actions of the village chief and secretary were not slow at all, and in a short time they had gathered twenty or thirty skilled people.
A large group of people walked toward Uncle Jialin's house in a mighty manner.
After entering the door, a large group of people were standing there, and Uncle Jialin's house instantly became crowded.
After all, Ye Bai thought faster and immediately arranged the allocation of personnel.
"Village chief and secretary, let's divide the villagers into four groups. Two groups will go to the bamboo forest with Uncle Jialin to chop bamboo. The other two groups will learn how to make bamboo baskets with me first. Then after the bamboo is chopped back, we will learn how to make bamboo baskets.
Cut the bamboo into pieces.”
"In this way, everyone's progress can be staggered, and the materials and preparation can be coordinated."
After the words fell, everyone except Uncle Jialin looked at Ye Bai in surprise.
The village chief even asked directly: "Ye Bai, can you still weave bamboo baskets?"
Seeing the village chief's surprise, Uncle Jialin, as someone who had witnessed it with his own eyes, quickly explained.
"Village chief, Ye Bai is not only good at weaving bamboo baskets, he is even faster than me!"
"Really? When did Ye Bai even learn the work of a bamboo craftsman? It's incredible!"
Secretary Wang Qiang exclaimed in admiration. It was hard to imagine that there was anything else that this young man Ye Bai couldn't do.
Facing everyone's confused expressions, Ye Bai smiled helplessly and changed the focus to get them back on track.
"Village chief, make arrangements quickly. I suggest that the two groups of people who chop bamboo should be mainly men from the village, and those who stay to learn how to make bamboo baskets with me should be mainly women and the elderly."
"Okay, I think so too."
After the village chief answered, he allocated the manpower appropriately according to Ye Bai's suggestion.
Uncle Jialin led a group of men up the mountain to chop bamboo, while the village chief, secretary and women stayed where they were and began to learn how to make bamboo baskets.
Before starting to make it, Ye Bai first talked about some techniques and then led them to demonstrate while doing it.
"Look, this bamboo basket is actually not big. The most important thing is to weave the bamboo pieces at the bottom."
"When you first start doing it, pay attention to the strength of your hands. Don't ask for speed. If you don't understand something, you can always ask me."
After saying that, Ye Bai skillfully led the aunties to complete the entire production process, emphasizing some important points. After a while, a delicate and beautiful bamboo basket was ready.
After the village chief and secretary saw Ye Bai's compilation process, they deeply admired him from the bottom of their hearts.
"The nimble fingers, the superb techniques and the flowing rhythm really look like art. "
Secretary Wang Qiang couldn't help but whisper what was in his heart, and admired the village chief next to him.
"Isn't that right? I thought that even if he could do it, it would be at the entry level, but I didn't expect that he would be at the master level."
The village chief stared intently at the finished bamboo basket in Ye Bai's hand. It was so delicate.
However, in addition to being surprised by Ye Bai's craftsmanship, what impressed them even more was that Ye Bai always found some new business opportunities through live broadcasts.
Of course, there may be certain factors such as the right time, place, and people, but no matter what the process is, the result is that Ye Bai has once again broadened the channels for the villagers to make money!
From another perspective, this also contributes to the village's poverty alleviation.
It seems that it was the right decision for them to first consider Ye Bai as the "leading goose" to get rid of poverty.
After making bamboo baskets with Ye Bai once, the aunts and uncles all have a preliminary understanding of making bamboo baskets. The rest requires continuous familiarity with these steps in subsequent preparations, and gradually reaches the point where practice makes perfect.
Under Ye Bai's careful guidance, one bamboo basket after another was slowly born, becoming more and more exquisite.
Soon after, Uncle Jialin and the others came back with a large amount of bamboo, and they began to make preparations, splitting bamboo strips again to prepare more bamboo pieces.
They say that everything is difficult at the beginning, but it will get easier after you get started.
Every villager who learned to make bamboo baskets was very energetic. They felt that it was a very honorable thing to be selected by the village chief and secretary to make bamboo baskets. Everyone was as excited as a chicken, and they were in high spirits.
All of a sudden, the scene of twenty or thirty people sitting around and weaving bamboo baskets was a scene that was vigorous and out of control...
After everyone gradually got started, Ye Bai did not forget to take out his mobile phone and click on the live broadcast.
After a while, hundreds of thousands of people poured into the live broadcast room, chatting with Ye Baihan.
"Brother, didn't you show us the process of picking chestnuts this morning? What are you going to show us now?"
"Brother Ye seems to be at someone else's house. I haven't seen this background often."
"Ye Shen, here I come! Fortunately, I didn't squat for nothing. I saw you were on the air again."
Faced with the enthusiastic attitude of netizens, Ye Bai said straightforwardly.
"In the morning, I took everyone up the mountain to watch the process of picking chestnuts. As a result, many netizens took a fancy to the bamboo baskets we put chestnuts in, and we received a lot of orders. Now I just want to show it to everyone.
The bamboo baskets are already being made!”
"I will definitely do what I promised you. Look!"
Turning his cell phone around, Ye Bai showed the shooting angle to the villagers who were making bamboo baskets.
Through the screen, all netizens in the live broadcast room saw a shocking scene.
About thirty villagers were hard at work weaving bamboo baskets.
Their expressions were serious and focused, and everyone's face was filled with confidence and smiles. They seemed to enjoy the process very much.
The barrage in the live broadcast room also became active because of these pictures.
"Brother Ye, well done. What we just talked about in the morning has been arranged so quickly."
"That's right, Ye Bai has always been a reliable person, awesome."
"What a touching scene. The folks who work hard are the most respectable!"
"I placed the order in the morning. Brother Ye can help me arrange delivery as soon as possible."
"This is another great thing you have led the villagers to do after opening the mouthpiece. I salute you!"
Just like that, in a joyful atmosphere, the backstage of Ye Bai's live broadcast room continued to receive many additional orders from netizens. When the village chief and secretary were counting the data, they were once again surprised by the sales volume. It was even higher than in the morning.
The amount is more.
While they are happy, they also know that the progress of production cannot keep up with the speed of receiving orders.
After thinking for a while, the village chief and secretary quickly pulled Ye Bai aside and said.
"Ye Bai, why don't you stop broadcasting for the next two days?"
"Let's rush out a batch of bamboo baskets and clear some orders first, otherwise the folks will be really busy."
Ye Bai also knew that the number of orders for a live broadcast was really scary, so he agreed with a smile.
In this way, after several days of rushing work, the order was finally cleared.
Although the process is very hard, more and more people are willing to join the ranks of bamboo craftsmen, and everyone is becoming more and more motivated...
