When Wang Dashan arrived, Qin Xiaoyao went to meet Wang Dashan personally, even though she saw that Wang Xiaomei had gone up to talk to her big brother.
She told him that she needed a lot more straw.
"If it's convenient, help me send the straw tomorrow. The more, the better. At least four carts."
It didn't matter if the straw couldn't be used up. They could be piled up in the courtyard. In the future, whether it was for weaving straw sandals or for lighting a fire, they would still be useful.
"No problem! I'll borrow the village chief's handcart and ask my father to send it with me tomorrow!" Wang Dashan quickly replied.
With his current handcart, if he compressed the straw tightly and loaded it high enough, one handcart could carry 7 to 800 catties.
Mrs. Song paid him 38 copper coins for one such cart of straw.
