Brother Hao listened carefully, flashing his eyes: "Brother Guo's method is good, by the way, we can also try to make the straw paper a little stronger, thicker, and make it -- well, make it into a box, and use it to transport things! I see that the merchants in the county town are all using wooden boxes or clay pots to transport things, which are clumsy and heavy, and they are not easy to place, if they are replaced with thick cardboard boxes, it must be more convenient." ”

Guo Dalu patted Brother Hao'er on the shoulder appreciatively, Brother Hao was really clever, and with a little bit of his own, he could immediately come up with more functions of straw paper derivatives.

Guo Dalu suddenly thought of something, and chuckled: "Actually, this straw paper is really good to make, and it can really make a lot of money." ”

Brother Hao and the stupid big man looked puzzled -- Brother Guo had just said that this straw paper business could only make small profits but sell quickly, so why had he changed his tune now? But both of them stared at Guo Dalu expectantly, to see what he could say about the wonderful method of "turning paper into gold."

Guo Dalu coughed a few times: "I think, let's make this straw paper whiter, softer, thicker, and sell it to rich people, then the price can be sold a little more expensive." We can even make a special kind of straw paper, which is more absorbent, and sell it exclusively to women, who have special days every day, and will shed that and that impure thing, and if they get their clothes dirty, it is extremely difficult. If our special straw paper can solve this problem that every woman encounters, it will definitely make a lot of money. ”

Guo Dalu is actually talking about sanitary napkins, sanitary napkins, but the so-called modern women's health killer, the real friend of women, Guo Dalu used to buy this little thing for his little girlfriend in a small store, a small gadget the size of a palm, but the price is not low. Ancient women at most to thick cloth as a towel, not only uncomfortable to use, but also extremely unhygienic, if Guo Dalu can really invent a sanitary napkin, it is really for the benefit of women in the world, naturally, he is also a source of money.

Of course, Guo Dalu is just talking about that the key to sanitary napkins is not just the layer of paper, the most important thing is the absorbent substance inside.

The stupid big man didn't understand Guo Dalu's words, but Brother Hao understood, he had several sisters, and he once saw the big girl blushing and muttering to her mother, saying that her underwear was dirty, and he also saw the blood on her clothes, and he was startled at the time, thinking that the big girl was injured, and then I knew that it was just a woman Tiankui.

It's just that Brother Guo knows too many things and too many things, how did he come up with this special thing for women from straw paper, this, this kind of thing is really unclean and impure, usually men don't mention it at all, but Brother Guo - Brother Hao turned strange thoughts in his heart, of course he wouldn't look down on Brother Guo because of this, just thought, could it be that even these things are taught by teachers in the mountains?

The stupid big man didn't think so much, he only knew that what Brother Guo said could make a lot of money must be good, and he asked again and again: "Brother Guo, what do you say about the special straw paper for girls?"

Guo Dalu said: "This special kind of straw paper needs a very special thing, that thing will absorb water, a small piece, can absorb a lot of water, and after absorbing water, it will not flow out again." ”

The stupid big man nodded heavily: "I understand, when I find this thing that absorbs water, we can make a fortune!"

Guo Dalu laughed in his heart, this desiccant for water absorption is a modern chemical product, where can it be found in ancient times, but he didn't want to discourage the enthusiasm of the stupid big man, patted the stupid big man on the shoulder and said: "Okay, stupid big man, this glorious and most arduous task will be handed over to you, and the happiness of the life of the majority of women and compatriots is in your hands." ”

Guo Dalu had some strange words popping up from time to time, such as some female compatriots, brain-dead, etc., and the stupid big man didn't care, just nodded heavily and put it in his heart.

At this time, Brother Hao'er's mind was already on the thickened straw paper, paper bags, and cardboard boxes that Guo Dalu said, and pestered Guo Dalu to ask about the production method, Guo Dalu actually knew the detailed production process, but he also thought of some ways for Brother Hao, for example, if you want the straw paper to be thick and soft, you can cut more wood to make wood pulp, the wood species does not need to be too hard, it is best to be a fast-growing tree species, in this way, even if the amount of material is large in the future, you can also plant it yourself, so as not to cut off the raw materials and cut down the mountains bald.

And to make cardboard boxes, Guo Dalu gave Brother Hao an idea, not the thicker the straw paper used, the better, too thick straw paper consumes more raw materials, and heavy, in fact, I want to make the cardboard box strong, you can make honeycomb paper - said, Brother Hao simply drew a diagram, the honeycomb structure inside the cardboard box to show, listening to Brother Hao'er's eyes shining, picked up the drawings and pulled the stupid big one and rushed out of the door, looking for Zhou Carpenter and Li Dayan to tinker.

Seeing off Brother Hao and the stupid big man, Guo Dalu helped Guo Jin and was about to go back to the room, and a person hurried outside the house, but it was a big girl, Guo Dalu hurriedly greeted: "Big girl, why are you here?" Oh, I know, you came to help my family tidy up the housework again, I said it a long time ago, I will do these things myself, so I don't have to trouble you." ”

The big girl looked anxious: "Brother Guo, I'm sorry, I have something to trouble you - our chickens are suddenly sick, I don't know if you can cure it?"

The chick is sick.

The eldest girl, the second girl, and the third girl raised a group of chickens and pigs together, and today there are three chicks drooling vigorously, and they can't stand steadily, but the girls such as the big girl are frightened, and in a hurry, they find Guo Dalu to ask for a cure.

Guo Dalu is not a veterinarian, how can he know how to treat the chicken, but looking at the anxious appearance of the big girl, he still promised her to go to the chicken coop to have a look.

Guo Dalu followed the big girl to Li Ruhai's house, Li Ruhai went to do farm work, Chen went to the back mountain to chop firewood, everyone in this family has to work, even a few girls, except for the youngest sister, have to cut the grass and clean the housework, but today because the chick is sick, the three girls are there.

Seeing the eldest girl coming in with Guo Dalu, the second girl immediately ran up, not afraid of life, and took Guo Dalu's hand and said with tears: "Brother Guo, you quickly think of a way, this little chicken is going to die when he looks at it!"

Guo Dalu comforted the second girl not to panic, and walked to the chicken coop to look, the chicken coop was built by the three girls themselves, the bamboo strips formed a wall, covered with banana leaves to block the rain, dozens of chickens were chirping and turning in circles, three of the chicks were really in a bad spirit, half-closed eyes, little by little, and drooling.

Guo Dalu fiddled with the sick and crooked chicks for a while, and he couldn't see the fame, he sighed: "Hurry up and bury these three sick chickens, don't put them in one nest, this chicken plague is easy to contagious, and if you die, you will be a group." ”

Listening to Guo Dalu's words, the second girl cried, the third girl also wiped her tears, and the eldest girl murmured: "Brother Guo, is there really no way at all? Our family finally raised a few chickens, and we were counting on laying eggs for some household use, but I didn't expect that this chick was caught at home for a few days, and it was like this." In the past few days, in order to feed the chickens, our sisters go to the mountains every day to collect grass seeds, just to let the chickens eat enough and grow up quickly. Brother Guo, you can think of a way again. ”

Guo Dalu really can't help it, he still has some Western medicine in his hand, but it's for people, not for chickens, not for chickens, not to mention that he doesn't know if this medicine can cure chicken plague, and it's too wasteful for chickens to eat.

Guo Dalu suddenly patted his head: "Big girl, you just said that you eat grass seeds for chickens? In addition to grass seeds, there is no other feed?"

The big girl said: "In addition to grass seeds, sometimes I also give chickens some green vegetables, but this green vegetables are not enough to eat at home, and the chickens also eat a few bites occasionally." ”

Guo Dalu looked at the chicks in the chicken coop: "No wonder this chick looks thin and undernourished, this chicken is not enough to eat grass seeds, and has to eat other feed, such as rice bran, soybean cake and other things, so that the chicks can grow fast and strong, even if they are sick, they can have resistance." ”

The girl was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "I haven't seen what the bean cake is, but the rice bran - that's what our family makes their own nest to eat, where can I give it to the chicken." ”

Guo Dalu was speechless, indeed, the villagers of Houlong Village are too poor to feed the chickens, he asked: "Do other people in the village raise chickens and ducks also feed grass seeds?

The big girl said: "The duck is okay, you can rush to the stream to find small fish and shrimp to eat, and the little pig can feed the water hyacinth, that is, the chicken, and now it is too small to put it in the back mountain to find food to eat, in case you encounter wild things in the mountains, you will be taken away by a mouthful." ”

Guo Dalu nodded: "I understand, it seems that we have to find some special feed for the chickens to make up for their nutrition." ”

He thought for a moment, "Do you know about earthworms?"

The eldest girl, the second girl and the third girl glanced at each other, and the third girl hurriedly said: "I know, it's the earth dragon, and it's everywhere in the mud - I know, is Brother Guo asking us to dig the earth dragon for the chickens to eat? The chickens like to eat this." ”

Guo Dalu said with a smile: "It's not enough to dig the earth dragon, I want the chickens in our whole village to eat the earth dragon, so that they can grow strong and lay eggs quickly." Let's raise the Earth Dragon!"

The eldest girl, the second girl, and the third girl were dumbfounded, they had never heard of it, the earth dragon could still be raised, if it wasn't for the idea that Guo Dalu Guo came up with, they would definitely scold each other for being liars.

Guo Dalu explained carefully to the three girls, and after a while, the eldest girl, the second girl, and the third girl went out together, went to other neighbors' houses to find more girls, and then went separately to the mountains, fields and straw paper workshops.

Guo Dalu found out that Li Ruhai was the only one left in the family and his sister, so he would take care of the sister.
