That winter, when the weather was a little cold, a fire of waste was lit in the north of the village, not to keep people warm, but to burn the waste waste into the ash of fertilizer.

At that moment, a white goose foraged on the dry lawn not far from the fire, and a child passed by it, and the white goose felt that he was being disturbed, and saw that it was a small person who was close to it, but he was not afraid, and raised his long neck, and put on a posture of fighting.

The child was frightened, and bypassed, trotting straight ahead, and without stepping on a steady foot, he accidentally fell into the fire that burned the rubbish. A villager found out, pulled the child up and saw that his right hand, which had been propped into the fire, was not only completely blistered, but also swollen like a large piece of baked pot.

This made Madu River reinforce the feeling that once the flesh and skin of all living beings were burned, they would swell and become larger. Ma Duhe made associations with this kind of perceptual thought, thinking that the people in the past were stupid, killed chickens, and felt that the chicken's feet and feet had no meat and had no head to eat, so he chopped them off with a knife and threw them away; Nowadays, people are more civilized, not only do they not throw away the meatless chicken feet, but also process them, so that the originally thin chicken feet become fat and bigger, and become a unique flavor and expensive dish.

This is someone else's successful business path, of course Ma Duhe can't follow it, he knows that there is no hope of repeating the old path that others have taken.

The white goose, the fire, and the child's swollen right hand from burns flashed in his mind several times like a movie, so he came up with an innovative business idea, and happily said to Ma Feilong, Dad, this time I want to make a business in the restaurant.

I haven't done hair in a restaurant all my life, can you do hair? You've been running a restaurant for more than half a year, how can it improve? After Ma Feilong asked his son, he sneered.

Old man, don't hit your son. Encourage him more, he has no experience, you have to teach him more. Hong Xiaoqing leaned over and interjected.

Mom, Dad's experience is outdated, and I came up with a new idea, which I won't talk about now. Ma Du River said mysteriously.

On that day, he scraped together some money and did not buy some raw materials for the restaurant, but found a blacksmith in the countryside to make a square iron plate, and bought a charcoal stove to burn the iron plate, and brought it back to the pavilion in front of the restaurant.

Ma Feilong, who was helping his son in business, saw it, counted the road, crossed the river, what are you doing? Ma Duhe said, you will know when the time comes.

Hong Xiaoqing looked at the charcoal stove and said, cross the river, do you want to change your career to iron? If you want to strike iron, there is also a set of tools such as hammers, tongs, bellows, etc., which you have not yet completed.

Ma Duhe explained that this is a little related to striking iron, but instead of striking iron, I am not opening a restaurant yet? Hong Xiaoqing still didn't understand, and when she wanted to ask again, her son said, just see how I do it.

Ma Duhe rushed to the vegetable market in one go to buy four live geese, he did not slaughter them, but first put them in cages to raise. Then he went to the village to talk everywhere, saying that his river-crossing local chicken restaurant will have tricks to watch every day from today.

Feeling that this was not enough, he also asked a gentleman who could write calligraphy to write five advertisements, one to post at the entrance of the museum, and the other four to post in the four directions of the town, east, west, north and south, so that all passers-by could see them. The advertising slogan goes like this – Dear diners,

From today onwards, the Madu River Native Chicken Restaurant has launched new special dishes, who come to taste, even if they do not appreciate it, as long as they pass through this museum, they can see a very wonderful trick, this trick is free, just watch, see with fate. As for what kind of trick it is, you will know when you come to sightsee, and those who don't come will regret it; Those who come will be hooked and have an endless aftertaste. The museum will announce it on the same day.

This advertisement was posted out for a few hours, and there was an endless stream of people rushing to the Madu River Native Chicken Restaurant, most of them heard the news to see the excitement, only to see the charcoal fire of the charcoal stove in the front yard of the hall burning vigorously, wafting out of the blue flames.

And the cluster of flames licked a piece of iron plate placed inside like a tongue, and sometimes flashed sparks, like a gift to make a cry of "welcome sightseeing".

On the opposite side of the charcoal stove was a large vat of water, which kept the silence as if it were likely to explode. In the middle of the charcoal stove and the large vat of water stands an anvil with a herringbone wooden frame on top of it. At the top of the wooden frame is a cover woven with thin wire. There was a door on the top of the hood that could be opened, which was now snapped up because the inside of the hood was empty. There are two large eyelets at the bottom of the hood.

When anyone who comes to see this, they are suspicious, like an iron striker, and not like an iron striker. What kind of fame is it to engage in, some of them talk about speculation and point fingers; Some simply asked Ma Duhe, who was busy with his waist, what kind of rituals are you doing? The mystery of God makes us fall into the clouds for five miles, and we don't know what to do.

Ma Duhe smiled and asked rhetorically, I don't know, right? It's about to be a great show. Hearing him say this, everyone couldn't help but applaud and applaud.

At this moment, the show has not yet started, and the surrounding area of the field has been surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and some children have climbed to the big wooden catalpa tree in front of the house to watch.

I saw Ma Duhe pull up his sleeves on both sides, and then took out a big live goose from the iron cage, and the big live goose that was caught seemed to realize a kind of ominousness, and let out a titicac neigh, and its white wings flapped in a struggling manner.

Ma Duhe pinched its neck with one hand, worried about being pecked; Grab its paws with one hand so that its sharp webbed toes don't scratch it. Subdued the big live goose, Ma Duhe also said wittily, don't scream, don't scream, I'll help you wash your paws, wash them, and get on the road.

Ma Duhe immediately walked over and pressed a pair of paws of the big white goose into the water tank to wash it a little. The big white goose has always liked water, and has become calm, and its feet have paddled a few times in the water tank, but Ma Du River has not let go, and it is still not free.

At this time, it "snorts", as if begging its owner to let it swim in the water. Where does Madu River pay attention to those? He didn't pay any attention to it, but let go of his other foot, grabbed one foot steadily, and scrubbed its webbed toes along the edge of the jar, perhaps with too much force, and the big white goose felt pain, and its wings kept beating.

Ma Duhe then scrubbed the webbed toe on his other foot in the same motion, and then he was still unclean, so he raised his head and asked his mother to bring a cloth, and pressed the two webbed toes of the big white goose in the water and wiped them again.

Then he picked up the big white goose from the water tank, head down and feet up, showed it to the onlookers, and said with a smile, "Look, has the webbed toes of this big white goose been cleaned?"

The people were silent and did not answer. Suddenly, a sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man scolded him and said, Ma Duhe, you tricked us people into coming here to see you washing the webbed toes of the big white goose?

Where is it just to look at this? What's so interesting about this. Ma Duhe turned the big white goose upside down again, still smiling and saying, "Look, my props haven't started to be used yet?" The best trick is yet to come.

The crowd began to applaud again. Ma Duhe waited for the applause to calm down, and then turned the big white goose upside down, so that a pair of webbed toes close-up shot came into everyone's eyes, and then he asked again, is the big white goose's webbed toes big? In other words, are the paws of the big white goose big? No one answered, the horse crosses the river, is it the big white goose's claws, or the chicken's claws? Or is the duck's foot claw big?

You're not talking nonsense, of course it's the big claws of the big white goose. The man with the monkey cheeks said again.

I'm going to be able to make the white goose's paws bigger right away, believe it or not? Ma Duhe ignored what the sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man said.

He faced everyone, lifted the big white goose high, and then slowly approached an anvil standing in the middle of the field, like a magician performing magic on the stage, calm, dignified, resolute, mysterious, and he still had words in his mouth: everyone pay attention.
