Chapter 111: Little Yiwu
Different from the white-skinned and red-skinned eggs produced by domestic chickens, the color of the eggs in front of them is dark and light, Du Xiaoxi and Liu Yao squatted next to the chicken nest and counted, there were thirteen! Better!
Du Ba screamed and ran over to look at a nest of so many eggs, his eyes lit up, and he urged with a smile on his face: "Go home and let grandma give us scrambled eggs to eat!" As he spoke, he took off his blouse and counted the eggs and put them in.
Du Xiaoxi nodded, holding the clothes with eggs in his pocket, and caught up with Du Ba, who was carrying a basket of takeaways and a basket of mushrooms.
The group returned home with a lot of harvest and was highly praised by Grandma Du.
"Xiao Qi, you are really capable, you can find eggs, and later grandma will make all the scrambled eggs for your brother to eat. Our little seven are so capable, much better than your fourth brother! ”
Grandma Du was very happy to see these dozen eggs, the Du family did not raise chickens, and the children wanted to eat eggs in exchange for meat and people in the village. Now that the national funeral red meat is not allowed to be eaten, the price of eggs and fish is rising, and his pork shop can save a little bit when it is closed.
"What's the matter with Fourth Brother?" Du Xiaoxi was curious when she saw Grandma Du mention Fourth Brother Du.
Seeing the girl asking this, Du Si, who was helping to clean up the basket next to her, had a red face, and hurriedly greeted Du Xiaoxi, "Little sister, come on, the tumbler you said, the fourth brother of the bamboo whistle has been done, come and take a look, right?" ”
It is rare that the grandson of the family is shy, and Grandma Du began to break the news about the stupid things that Fourth Brother Du had done in those years while sorting mushrooms.
"That was when the fourth brother was seven or eight years old, and some cotton was planted on the south slope, and the family was busy and had no time to let the fourth brother pick cotton. One day your fourth brother came back crying, but we were startled and thought that someone had bullied him, but your brother said that a few days he saw a chicken hatching eggs in the field, and he thought that when the hen hatched the eggs, there would be more than a dozen chicks in the house, so he went to watch every day, and when the chicks hatched, he brought all the hens and chicks over, but who would have thought that it was still there the day before, and it was gone the next day. It's a good thing you didn't wait to catch the chicks like Shiro! Otherwise, grandma won't be able to eat this egg! ”
After Grandma Du broke the news about her grandson's stupid history, she happily beckoned her granddaughters-in-law to go to the river to pick a few handfuls of small leeks, and she wanted to scramble eggs for her grandchildren herself.
Du Si was a little interesting to be seen by his younger siblings. Zhao Baozhu also didn't expect her husband to be so naïve, a group of people looked at him with a smile, and Fourth Brother Du was not embarrassed for a while.
Du Xiaoxi stepped forward with a smile, "Is the fourth brother really done?" Fourth brother, you are amazing! ”
Du Si blushed and took a few small things from his room to show Du Xiaoxi. "Little sister see if you like it or not, no, the fourth brother will change it for you."
Tumblers, bamboo whistles, bamboo chili and a few woodcarved small animals were placed in front of Du Xiaoxi, and before Du Xiaoxi tried them one by one, the sharp-eyed Du Ba had already swarmed up and carved them up, and even Liu Yao took a red tumbler and poked it one by one.
Du Xiaoxi snatched the things from his brothers and nephews. After the trial, he nodded with satisfaction.
"The fourth brother is great, these are very good, my sister likes it the most, the fourth brother has to work hard to build a small house!" Du Xiaoxi began to praise Fourth Brother Du's craftsmanship.
When Master Xile asked Du Xiaoxi what path the Du family would take in the future, Du Xiaoxi really couldn't say it. The east in this kind of painting book is hopeless at least for Du Xiaoxi's brothers.
Master Xile pointed out a clear way for the Du family, and continued to study how to increase crop yields, as long as the Du family made a great contribution in this regard, regardless of the change of dynasty for thousands of years. The times change, the people will always remember the Du family, and the princes and generals of the powerful family will also have scruples. Not to mention that the Baodu family has been rich for generations, but it is not difficult to live in peace forever.
The path of the Master of Joy is too tempting.
Du Liu came back to tell the elders of the Sù tribe and Li Zheng, and a group of people couldn't help but go to the Xile Temple to visit Master Xile with passion, and Master Xile was in a good mood at that time, and also pointed out a lot of research directions for the Du family.
The clan elders and Li are carrying out vigorous research with the blood of the glorious family.
In the first few years, with the sweetness of rice and fish farming and the brainwashing of the clan elders and Li Zheng over and over again, several Dushi villages were full of enthusiasm to study how to prevent insects and how to resist drought. How to resist the cold.
However, in the following years, after some families continued to reduce their food production significantly due to experiments, many people retreated. Waiting for Emperor Jiayuan to come to Shanshui County in person, the Du family can be exempted from taxes for three years after making meritorious contributions at the banquet. More people flinched.
Ten years plus three years, thirteen years without paying taxes.
Many people are already satisfied with this kind of good life, and even have the dirty mind to wait for others to study it, anyway, they will follow the research.
In short, for a variety of reasons, the Du family is now researching agricultural production. Except for a few veterans who have studied the real way and the public land in the clan, the vast majority of other families follow the model of rice and fish farming and are unwilling to take another step.
In response to this situation, Du Xiaoxi can't do anything, after all, what kind of path a big family wants to take is not up to Du Xiaoxi to decide, if Li Zheng and the clan elders are determined, there is no need for Du Xiaoxi to worry about a child.
Since the path of a farming family could not be followed, Du Xiaoxi decided to try another development model for his family and his uncle's family.
Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to eat the water, relying on the North-South Grand Canal and the mountain waterways, they cannot be the laborers of the wharf for generations.
Du Xiaoxi wants to develop Shanshui County into a 'Little Yiwu'.
With the convenience of transportation, Shanshui County will become a commodity distribution center for the whole country!
Of course, this kind of money-making thing has already been divided into a big piece of cake by Du Xiaoxi's future father-in-law, Liu Erye, and the upper bunks and various industries on the dock are almost saturated. So Du Xiaoxi decided to turn Dujia Village into a 'little obligation'.
Small commodity distribution center, the use of local extremely cheap labor to make all kinds of cheap small commodities to sell throughout the country, as long as a few decades or two hundred years later, the local people in Shanshui County will not be bad.
Of course, this is the highest state of Du Xiaoxi's ideals.
The reality is that Du Xiaoxi let the family make bamboo dragonflies out to sell back then, and there was almost no one in the village except for the uncle's family, if it weren't for Du Xiaoxi being the apprentice of Master Xile, Du Xiaoxi was sure that many people in the village would poke her head and scold her for being a stupid girl.
The final result of the bamboo dragonfly is that it has worked hard for more than half a month, and it really didn't make any money to sell it.
This evil copycat society!
The ancients who would make their own at a glance should not be so omnipotent!
