After Aunt Gui brought back the candles, Lin Wan first found a long ruler and singed the edges of the cut plastic on the candle, forming a cylinder.
Next, she sealed one bottom, and directly cut two holes with the scissors on the other end. A simple and easy plastic bag was complete.
"Wow, this bag is well made. It can hold dishes with liquid and can be carried easily," Aunt Gui and the people in the shop all thought this was a good idea.
With such heavy rain, there were few custors in the shop. Lin Wan packed the allotted food for everyone in plastic bags, and then brought the remaining dishes to the table. Everyone had a good al again.
The employees, each carrying their heavy benefits, didn’t mind the rain and headed ho with smiles on their faces.
"Xiao Gu, if anyone needs to take their food ho, we have a solution now. Tomorrow, I’ll go to the market to buy so plastic and make more bags. If anyone wants to pack their als, we’ll charge them two cents for the plastic bag." At this ti, plastic was still quite thick and expensive. The cost was high.
"That’s a good idea. Tomorrow, I’ll write on the sign outside that take-away packing is available."
"Alright, since it’s raining, hurry back. Be careful on the road."
"Aunt Liang, Xiao Wan, let’s leave together," Xiao Gu was concerned about letting the two won leave last.
Today’s rain was heavy, and the distance from here to ho was a bit far. Mom was worried about her, and she was also worried about Mom. So, Lin Wan followed her back to Mom’s house.
Lin Wan pedaled quickly on the tricycle, taking Liang Hongi, through the rain, rushing ho.
Almost ho, they saw her brother walking towards them with an umbrella, apparently coming to pick them up.
"Luckily, you ca back early. I thought Xiao Wan was going ho alone."
"It’s far from there, and I was worried, so I let her co along," Liang Hongi said, taking the umbrella from her son.
Lin Yinghui let Lin Wan sit at the back, leading the mother and daughter ho.
The truth is, children from poor families are considerate. Her brother, a young man, had already thoughtfully boiled hot water at ho.
After everyone showered and finished their tasks, it was already past ten o’clock, and the rain had gradually lessened.
"We need to listen to the weather forecast in the future. Otherwise, we’ll suffer great losses if we encounter such weather again."
"Yes, your brother is right, we should listen to the weather forecast in the future."
The rain continued intermittently throughout the night and most of the day. Worried it might rain again in the evening, Lin Wan didn’t order too many dishes today.
Usually, when she’s not around, Xiao Gu goes to the vegetable market to order today’s vegetables. Most suppliers are old clients, and sotis they deliver to the door. Besides so scattered vegetable items that require personal purchase, everything else is quite convenient.
Once the vegetables were gathered, Lin Wan made a trip to the farm tool market where they sold plastic sheets.
Lin Wan found three stores before finding one with relatively thin and soft plastic sheets. She asked the owner to cut a hundred ters, spending ten yuan. Made into a small bag, it could hold a portion of dishes, roughly producing about five hundred bags.
Back at the shop, Lin Wan, along with Xiao Yu and another employee, started making plastic bags in the private room.
Two people were cutting, and one was singeing. Singeing is a skill, and Xiao Yu’s first few attempts either resulted in holes or didn’t stick together.
Fortunately, they improved a lot afterwards.
The three of them worked for over two hours and only managed to complete half.
There was more work to be done, so Lin Wan asked them to help outside while she stayed in the private room to finish cutting the rest. Then, when they had ti, she let them continue making bags.
Plastic bags need to be placed in sothing clean, so with the remaining large piece of plastic, Lin Wan made a plastic bag as big as a sack, and placed the completed bags inside.
