Chapter 13: : Start the Boy Scouts to work!
Liu Fen's hands are really clever.
Xia Xiaolan dictated that she could weave it with just some straw.
Liu Yong saw that Xia Xiaolan had the ability to move, and ignored her, and went out to release water after eating. Some rice fields are still filled with water, and the water in the fields is released before threshing, and harvesting can be started after two days of drying.
Sometimes there are other harvests in the paddy fields, such as loach, rice eel, and palm-length crucian carp in the field...These are wild goods that are sought after by later generations, but the treatment at this time is so-so. Crucian carp is small and spiny. It is too troublesome to eat. Loach and rice eel need heavy oil to taste. Use golden oil to eat these two things?
It is not good to cook it casually, and the smell of soil is a big problem.
Xia Xiaolan sighed, what a good high-protein, low-fat meat, but was not appreciated by the diners in the 1980s.
At first, Xia Xiaolan felt that it was a way to make money, and his eyes were shining, but Liu Yong said that the loach could not be sold at a price, and the dried loach was only a few cents a catty. Anyway, the market price was not more than a dime...not as expensive as an egg!
"This thing is so dirty and smelly, you'd better toss your eggs!"
Liu Yong grabbed a crucian carp and threw it into a wooden bucket.
"Uncle, don't waste the crucian carp. Give Taotao more crucian carp soup to drink. The kids will grow better and get less sick!"
Liu Yong was taken aback, "Where did you hear about it?"
Xia Xiaolan thought, this is not common sense?
Forget it, in 1983, there was no common sense or common sense. She opened her eyes and said nonsense: "I saw it in the book."
Don't ask me which book I read, this really cannot be answered.
Afraid of Liu Yong's questioning, Xia Xiaolan ran away with her little cousin.
The villagers who helped Liu Yong took a breath.
Xia Xiaolan was so good-looking, she squatted at the edge of the field like that, and generally the opposite **** would not dare to look at her too muchLiu Yong was a rascal in the past, and whoever dared to touch his niece in Qijing Village was the heartless eye that was full.

Liu Yong wiped the sweat from his neck and glared at the people around him:
"Let me tell you, I'm going to kill my niece if I don't open my eyes."
The villager was aggrieved, "Brother Yong, that's my niece, I'm sure I don't dare to have any ideas..."
Liu Yong threw the wooden barrel over: "Just because you talk a lot of nonsense, hurry up to catch the fish, haven't you heard Xiaolan say, kids should drink more crucian fish soup!"
Xia Xiaolan led her little cousin around Qijing Village.
Qijing Village is a place with abundant water resources, and the reed marshes in Dahe Village have spread to this place. The Baihua reed in Anqing County was famous in ancient times, and reed resources were readily available, so Xia Xiaolan didn't have the idea of making reed knitting. On the one hand, the timing is not appropriate, on the other hand, the knitwear market in Anqing County has long been saturated.
But the reeds obviously not only provide raw materials for weaving, it is also a habitat for wild ducks and water fowls.
For Xia Xiaolan, it is a waving banknote... Protecting the ecology, let's wait for her to solve the problem of food and clothing! Compared with those who made a fortune by robbery and robbery, her means of making money is already very clean.
Taotao walked ahead with pride and strength. Xia Xiaolan was what he showed off. No one's sister had Xia Xiaolan as good-looking.
The busy farming season is approaching, and the scorching sun can't stop the hormones emitted by the descendants of Qijing Village.
Everyone greeted Taotao:
"Taotao, is your cousin here?"
"Taotao, go with brother to catch fish?"
"Tao Tao..."
His mouth was Taotao, but his eyes were aimed at Xia Xiaolan. This kind of roundabout conversation also made these young people blush, which made Xia Xiaolan feel that most young people in the 1980s were still very innocent.
She had no idea about these innocent young people.
I can't fill my stomach, so I don't have the mood to appreciate the fresh meat.
Xia Xiaolan has also been to Qijing Village before. Her name is very popular among young people, but Xia Xiaolan has always been very arrogant and unwilling to pay attention to those who have been courteous to her... Now, she intends to continue to maintain the policy of the original owner. She is not interested in these young children, but the children who can play with Taotao. Children over 10 years old basically have to help the family, and 13 or 4 years old are more than half of the labor force. Xia Xiaolan's target population is under the age of 10. These children are skinny and resistant to falls, and they are also very coaxing.
After two laps, Xia Xiaolan finally caught the target person. A few children who were older than Taotao ran over and laughed as they ran: "Taota, my mother said that your cousin hit a fool?"
Xia Xiaolan was full of black lines.
Compared to the young offspring who were bewildered by her beauty, these stinky children were too unfriendly.
Just meet up!
Taotao refused, "My sister Xiaolan is not stupid! You are talking nonsense!"
Xia Xiaolan sneered, and took out two cents and stuffed it with her little cousin: "Take out the canteen to buy something to eat. My sister is tired and waits for you under the tree."
The smelly children were immediately envious.
Can you buy food for money, who said Taotao's cousin became stupid?
Innocent and simple children, where have you played with the old ghost Xia Xiaolan. When Taotao came back from buying sugar, all of them were swallowing saliva.
Xia Xiaolan took the opportunity to say, "Do you want to eat candy?"
Nodded together.
"Then exchange it with something, Taotao is my cousin, and you are not, and you call me stupid."
The leading child swallowed hard, "Sister Xiaolan, what can I exchange for sugar?"
This is the fastest to turn the rudder by the wind, and has changed his name after Taotao.
"Do you know the wild duck eggs in the reeds? Three wild duck eggs can be exchanged for 2 cents, and you can buy sugar with the money. However, two people must go together to find the duck eggs, and you can't go to the river with water!"
"Really?"
"A liar is a puppy."
It's real or fake, just give it a try.
Of course, there are more than 2 cents of duck eggs in the county town. Why don't you make money in business, Xia Xiaolan is so busy!
Asking children to help find wild duck eggs is the use of the cheapest labor, and labor costs have been compressed to the extreme. Xia Xiaolan thought, she was really promising. When she was reborn in 1983, she thought about the squeeze of child labor.
Two cents are very attractive to children.
These children were all born in the 1970s. In rural areas, the New Year's Eve money for the children is only a few cents. Buying sugar and firecrackers for this little money can play for a long time.
After more than an hour, when a nine-year-old girl brought her sister to pick up a dozen wild duck eggs for Xia Xiaolan, Xia Xiaolan checked that the eggs were good, and she really fulfilled her promise. She doesn't bully some children who are not good at maths, and do whatever they want with money.
"You took 16 eggs. This is one yuan and seven cents."
The change is exchanged from the small shop in the village.
The little girl squeezed the money, not knowing where to put her excited hand. The younger child was drooling and chanting "sugar", and the little girl took her sister home. It was more than one dollar. Without the permission of an adult, she would definitely not dare to spend it.
Xia Xiaolan stopped her:
"If you have eggs in your family, you can sell them to me. I live in Taotao's house, but I have to ask your adults to sell eggs."
The Boy Scouts launched by Xia Xiaolan wiped out the nearby reeds within two hours. The wild ducks quacked, flapping their wings and scurrying in the reeds, and found the hatched ducklings and asked Xia Xiaolan if she wanted it.
Now that there is a place to raise ducks, Xia Xiaolan is going to take it back to pass the time for Liu Fen.
She collected more than 90 wild duck eggs in total.
As for whether anyone is looking for her to sell eggs, I will know in the evening.
When Xia Xiaolan returned home, she found that her uncle had caught a small bucket of loach, and there were many rice eels, and the crucian carp in the rice fields weighed more than ten kilograms, all of which were kept in a water tank at the root of the wall.
"Raise for a few days, wait until they spit out the dirty stuff in their stomachs before eating!"
Li Fengmei stewed radishes with stick bones, and the yard was full of fragrance. No one will come to visit during the meal. It is not easy for everyone to eat something good, so don't try to understand that you will come to visit at this time by pretending to be confused.
Liu Fen weaves a large pile of straw baskets under the eaves.
"Xiaolan, take a look, can you make it up?"
Why not, the wild duck eggs and eggs are just right to put in. Taotao held up her chest proudly, "Sister Xiaolan bought a lot of duck eggs, and she bought me sweets to eat!"
Li Fengmei laughed when she heard it in the kitchen.
Xia Xiaolan was not so patient with Taotao before. This child is the lifeblood of Li Fengmei. Xia Xiaolan treats Taotao well. How could she not like it when she was a mother?
For a while, the atmosphere of the whole family was relaxed.
Xia Xiaolan felt that there was a rush on this day, and the decision to leave Dahe Village was not wrong at all!
