Rice is planted in the fields, bamboo is planted in the hills, and the villagers use their leisure time to weave various agricultural tools and living utensils, and the remaining part is sold in the market for sideline income.

2. Weaving bamboo products
Every time I enter a village, I will meet old people weaving bamboo products in front of my house. Although they could not do farm work in their old age, their decades of weaving skills did not diminish that year. From breaking bamboo, chipping, opening the fence, stemming, weaving, one person completes it in turn. According to Ya Po: weaving a piece of bamboo, about 0.8 to 0.9 yuan, weaving more than ten pieces a day. Although the remuneration is not much, you can use your strengths and work activities to kill two birds with one stone. But it's also an act of impatience.
