In front of the lanting (house on a raft) was a pile of wicker, ready to be used. There were also tanggui, mats, and baskets, well piled up, ready to be marketed. On the sides of the house were
seedbeds in lines and various seedlings: tree seedlings, medicinal herb seedlings, and cooking spice seedlings. A young woman was busy separating the roots of water hyacinth from their stems.
Beside her were two piles, one was a pile of water hyacinth roots and the other a pile of their stems. When a clump of water hyacinth passed by the raft, carried by the stream, she would stand at once and took a long pole, directing its tip to the clump and driving it close to the raft and pulled it with all her might to her front.
