Chapter 1100: Weaving a Basket
Seeing that both of them disagreed, Xia Xibei pondered for a while and changed her mind.
“Then let’s go to the river.”
There was a small river here which looked crystal clear, and there were fish and shrimp in the river.
The fish and shrimp in the water weren’t protected animals, and they were okay to eat. The water was not deep either, so it was not dangerous.
Xia Xibei could spend the night in the mountains by herself without a problem, but for now, she could only take the conventional route.
“Fishing?”
Nie Zehai and Shi Shuhang looked at each other and could only nod.
“Then let’s go and see!”
They were not far from the small river outside the village, and soon the group arrived at the river.
The river water here was not frozen, but when they walked to the edge, they felt a coldness coming on.
Looking at the clear river water and the fish swimming in it, they were happy but also had a little headache.
What could they do here?
“Should we go back and ask the villagers to borrow a net?” Shi Shuhang suggested. “Or should we borrow a fishing rod?”
Otherwise, how could they catch fish with their bare hands?
Xia Xibei looked around and shook her head, “No.”
“No?” The two men were speechless. “Then what do we do?”
Were they just going to watch from the sidelines?
As soon as they said this, Xia Xibei was seen walking towards the trees nearby.
She picked up long tree branches which had fallen to the ground.
“What are you doing?”
The two men followed with bewildered faces.
“Weaving a basket.”
“A basket?” The two men were shocked. “You can make one?”
“Yeah.” Xia Xibei looked around and said to them, “Help me find more of these branches.”
Although they thought her idea was crazy, they dutifully went to find the materials.
Xia Xibei was very good, but could she actually weave baskets?
Baskets and fishing nets… They were different things, right?!
The cameraman who followed them captured Xia Xibei’s action on film.
Whether she could do it or not, this was great for the show!
If she couldn’t, the failure would also look good for TV!
At first, she swore she could and she was so confident, then something went wrong. Such a contrast would certainly attract many viewers.
Xia Xibei didn’t care what they thought. She pulled out the knife she got at the beginning of the recording and started to sharpen the tree branches.
By the time Nie Zehai and Shi Shuhang returned with more branches, she had the beginnings of a basket in her hands.
She was too fast!
It had been less than ten minutes since they left, and she was already almost done with a basket!
Her speed and proficiency were better than those of the village elders!
“Are we using the basket to catch fish later?”
Nie Zehai finally remembered to ask a question.
They probably couldn’t catch any fish with a fishing net, so how could they do so with these ordinary baskets?
“Yes,” Xia Xibei nodded and continued weaving without looking up. “Don’t worry, we can catch the fish.”
Nie Zehai and Shi Shuhang looked at each other and finally gave up on persuading her.
Anyway, it was not the last minute. They were not very hungry, so they could “play around” here first.
If they failed in the end, they could still go back and shamelessly borrow food from the villagers!
With this mindset, they let Xia Xibei do her thing.
After half an hour, two baskets appeared in Xia Xibei’s hands.
They touched the baskets and found that they were quite sturdy and firm, and the pattern was also good.
“You know how to do this!”
Both of them were surprised.
“You can sell baskets for money!”
With Xia Xibei’s popularity, if she were to really sell her handmade baskets, someone would definitely pay a high price.
Xia Xibei stood up and ignored the comment.
“Let’s go eat some fish!”
