Mrs. Xu sent Yu Qinniang to go home quickly and get some tools for going up the mountain.
Mrs. Xu slapped her hand in front of her granddaughter again and recited the password for the live broadcast: "The God of Wealth lives in my house. I will definitely get rich this year, click!" and started the live broadcast.
She greeted her family with a very low voice and full of energy: "Good morning, babies and family. Let's go up the mountain with my three sons today."
After saying hello, I asked my granddaughter to go home to get rations and bring more.
The rations made by Mrs. Xu are the fried noodles eaten by the modern volunteer army.
Fry all kinds of coarse and fine grain flour in a hot pan, add lard and salt. I made it because I planned to take a sip of it when I had no time to cook or when I was too tired, and washed a bowl with water to satisfy my hunger.
She would like to make tea-oiled noodles, but her family's current situation doesn't allow it.
Mrs. Xu worriedly told her granddaughter to "lock the door thousands of times."
There is a lot of money, food, and fish in the house, so it is not enough to leave the door unlocked.
Then he turned around, scolded his three sons and said, "Stop."
Liu Laozhu was startled and stopped hurriedly.
Mrs. Xu waved her hand, "...I'm not calling you. Brother, please come in and eat. Our family won't go fishing today. We have something to do at home. Like other people in the village, we don't separate the fish if we don't work. By the way, let's go back. I want to buy fish from the village committee, will you arrange it?"
"I understand, I understand. Shall I go in first? You two ladies should talk to each other."
Mrs. Xu nodded "Yes" before Liu Laozhu entered the hospital.
The three brothers of the Xu family looked at this scene: "..."
Hearing about it is one thing, seeing it with your own eyes is another. Uncle Li Zheng really listens to his mother's words.
The three boys asked: "Mom, why did you get up so early?"
"Hmph, I can't compare to you. If I hadn't gotten up early, I wouldn't have known that your three brothers were going to go up the mountain hungry. Let's go." We simply went together.
The three Xu brothers hesitated: "Mom."
"Mother, mother, don't you have to work at your own risk? If you don't rest, you will feel uncomfortable all over if you don't work. Then I can only watch you from the side." By the way, I saw if I could still pick up mushrooms.
…
Xu Tianxin was extremely excited about the whole family going up the mountain together.
After his second uncle went up the mountain, he looked around for fir trees. She didn't know all kinds of plants yet, so she followed him to learn to identify them.
The second uncle said that the half-dry old branches of fir trees can be used to make basins and buckets. It happened to stop raining after it rained. Isn’t this a half-dry state?
Find more, exchange one bucket for two fish, and make more basins and buckets. This is equivalent to making money.
The second uncle also asked Nai: "Mom, since Uncle Zheng doesn't care about us going out this time, can I go into the city and sell pots, barrels, pipes and pots?"
Grandma scolded me and said, "Don't be greedy. Don't think about doing all kinds of business. You won't have time to squat in the town and wait for customers. The biggest task for our family right now is to prepare enough goods before the caravan comes."
Mrs. Xu took the opportunity to teach her three sons to understand the cost of time, and to have the concept of grasping the big and leaving the small to settle accounts.
The three brothers of the Xu family were a little confused: "What do you mean?"
"It means that from today on, our family will no longer participate in fishing in the village to earn work points."
As for the reason, pork sells for twenty cents per catty, and chicken, which is less than four catties, sells for ninety cents.
And here next to the river, there are many fish during the current high water period, and the fish only cost three cents a pound.
For another example, the three girls secretly fished for fish until yesterday. The average daily work points in the family were divided into six fishes. After so many days, they added up to more than seventy fishes.
This was under the circumstances that she had fulfilled her work points and was busy enough for the three of them.
As for the more than seventy fish, even if each fish weighs five or six kilograms on average, how many kilograms does it cost together? How much can it be sold for three cents per kilogram?
It's tiring for them to have so many talented people earn more than one tael of silver.
Selling fish is never as good as processing the fish and then selling it, for example, making fish floss to make money faster.
Mrs. Xu plans to pass on her unique fish floss skills to her three sons.
She has to control the salt, do the pickling work and make fish noodles, pure fish noodles, and let her daughter-in-law and granddaughter help her.
As for the elm bark noodles she purchased to make glutinous rice noodles, she would also prepare the noodles every day and fill the table with them to sell with Qin Niang.
The two sons of Manzuo's family have already delivered thousands of kilograms of elm bark noodles in two trips, and also brought two baskets of wild fruits to her granddaughter. She suspected that the elm trees in the surrounding villages would soon be stripped bare. The reason why the whole table hasn't come recently is because I was kicked on the waist by a relative of a handsome man. When I went home and went down to the cellar, I didn't step on the ladder and ducked back. I heard that I was recovering from my injuries recently.
So there is a lot of processing work to do at home:
“After we come down from the mountain today, we will quickly collect the fish caught by others from tomorrow on and prepare some more ingredients so that we can hope to make more money in the future.
Otherwise, if the opportunity is given to you, the order is placed, but the goods cannot be delivered. The caravan is passing by. Can you wait for us to make it now?
We must learn to grasp the big and let go of the small, and understand that opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. In addition, you three brothers have to lead people to build a house. "
When he heard about building a house, Xu Laosan even threw his arms and shoveled loess into the soil basket on the mountain. The three brothers really couldn't bear to spend money on adobe bricks.
It subverts their consumption concept too much.
Now that they are back, they can save whatever money they can to build a house.
Someone in the live broadcast room asked Xu Tianxin: "What is adobe?"
Xu Tianxin hid aside and replied in a low voice: "Just use the clay dug by my third uncle, mix it with some miscellaneous soil and chopped straw, or put wood fiber and setaria in a square mold made of wood, and finally give it It was smashed into the shape of adobe bricks. In the countryside, where bricks cannot be bought, these adobe bricks are used to build houses. For example, adobe bricks are used to build large walls, kangs and stoves, and they are used in large quantities."
Xu Tianxin also knew that this job was very tiring, because her uncles used to make adobe bricks at home and sell them to people building houses in nearby villages when they had no roads and could not go out to work. They sold them very cheaply and it was pure hard work. Her milk was also exchanged for a lot of adobe with only ten fish.
In her impression, you have to keep beating with a stone pestle to make the clay flat and strong. As the old saying goes, you can't beat the clay bricks three times less, and then stack the hammered adobe bricks together to dry.
Through Xu Tianxin's explanation, the family members in the live broadcast room saw the entire process within two days, including how Uncle Xu placed the molds, spread dry soil, shoveled the soil, smashed the soil, removed the molds, moved the blanks, and stacked the blanks until they were dry. And others can get more than 300 yuan a day at most, but Uncle Xu can make 500 pieces a day without any urging. It’s really exciting. Those muscles...
At this time, while Xu Laosan was digging, he found a big stone suitable for smashing stone pots and asked his second brother and fourth brother to come over and move it.
Although the family has already bought six stone pots, the mother's advice is still not enough. They should be able to slowly smash one or two stone pots in a month or two of free time.
Because my mother wants to open a restaurant where there is a pot in the middle of each table.
My mother also said that when a group of people sit down around the pot to eat, they should not sit on chairs under their buttocks, but should use chairs that look like a hot bed.
The arrangement of the other house was unheard of. Mom said she wanted to build a house with a heated floor on the floor.
The three brothers don't understand, does that mean they step on the hot bed when they enter the house? Will you take off your shoes then? Of course you have to take it off. Wouldn't it smell bad if the caravan came over and took off his shoes? My mother said that it is more important to make money or to dislike the smell. We must first consider that the customers are cold and their feet are frozen after walking all the way.
Xu Youyin suddenly called Xu Tianxin: "Tian Xin, are you looking for bamboo? Look there."
"Ah ah ah," Xu Tianxin and the family members in the live broadcast room were excited. They could finally make bamboo salt toothpaste together.
I thought bamboo was too hard to find, but I didn't expect that there is also a kind of yellow bamboo in the north that is thinner than in the south. It doesn't matter if it's thinner, as long as it's hollow enough to hold things and bake in the fire. There are these steps for making bamboo salt.
Xu Laoer also suddenly called Xu Tianxin and said: "Tian Xin, come here and taste the birch sap to quench your thirst." This was what the elder brother told them, saying that they don't need to bring water with them when going up the mountain, just drink this.
The family members in the live broadcast room are knowledgeable: "I heard that there are hundreds of bottles of birch sap, which contains fructose, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. Anyway, whatever you are lacking, it has, I want to drink it too."
"Assistant, what does it smell like?"
Xu Tianxin not only answered the family members, but also looked at his second uncle with a smile and smacked his lips and said: "Well, it's a little sweet."
On the other hand, Mrs. Xu was surprised and said: "Emma, I dug up platycodon. These pickles are delicious."
