"One or two, one or two... Let’s take a break. Let’s listen to me. We now have a difficult task, which is to rescue the trapped children in Laoliushu Village. By the way, we are there to help the locals rebuild their homes. The terrain is there. Gao, we will live there for a while, is there anyone who is afraid or misses parents?"
In order to make room for the county seat to be rebuilt, Xiaobei led more than 300 children out of the county seat so that the working adults would not be distracted.
It's a pity that some children were crying to find their parents when they ran out, so Xiaobei had to stop and play his talents to fool a group of children under the age of twelve into obedient.
Those over the age of twelve stayed in the county to help.
Seeing Beckham stop and shout with a big horn in his hand, the crying children became quiet almost instantly. It is every child's ability to cry and laugh alternately.
Beckham smiled with satisfaction, swept his eyes around, pointed a little boy in the team with his finger, and continued to shout: "I saw a boy who is not a man still wiping his tears, so ashamed, even our baby girl Not as good as him."
"I, I don't." The gaze of a group of small children made the accused boy unbearable, and they hurriedly defended, rubbing their eyes vigorously with their hands: "The wind is strong, my eyes have got sand."
"No, it's raining now, how can there be sand? Ashamed." A little girl next to him didn't believe it.
"Yes, there was a gust of wind just now. You ran down and didn't see it." The little boy made a threatening look.
"I just raised my head and ran, I was ashamed, not as good as our girl." The little girl was not stupid either, she hid behind the other child and shaved her face with her finger.
"Are you looking for a fight?" The little boy "turned into anger" and waved his fist.
"Niu Erdai, do you dare? If you dare to beat her, I will tell my father that my restaurant does not accept your tofu, and the price is not cheap. My father said that your tofu can only be slipped, not fried. Fried is broken." Another little girl stood up to fight the injustice.
"That means my tofu is tender." The little boy also knows how to find the steps, and is very clever to find a reason for his own tofu. Tenderness is actually more water. People's tofu is a catty of beans that can make two catties to eighty two to ten. Two taels of tofu, his family can make more than three catties.
Beckham listened for a while and came out to round up his voice: "There was indeed a wind just now. If you don't know if what he said is true or false, you will know if you continue to read it, right?"
"Yes!" shouted a group of children.
Beckham was very satisfied, and at the same time, he felt that the other party was really a child. If he changed to himself, he would definitely not yell at him. It was too stupid.
"I'm really not crying. When my tofu shop opens, I will ask you to eat it." The little boy added.
"Okay, let's continue. Everyone should look at the people next to you, who is timid and needs adult care." Beckham greeted him and went back on the road. It doesn't matter whether he can eat the tofu grinded by the little boy's family. Up.
Xiaobei knows that his family makes tofu by himself. One catty of beans can make more than four catties of tofu. If you use plaster to make tofu, six catties of tofu will be no problem. The beans are the same. The reason lies in the craftsmanship. , How much water is added, and how much soy milk is in the water lost when the tofu is pressed are important.
Of course, tofu with six catties per catty of beans is not suitable for fermented bean curd and stinky tofu, otherwise the brine will "fly" in one dip.
Xiaobei was satisfied with the children's obedientness. He walked along the way and wondered if he should tell others about the craftsmanship of making tofu, but he couldn't make up his mind for a while.
Seeing Xiao Yuan, who was walking next to him while mumbling and reciting a certain book, Beckham stabbed him with her finger: "Xiao Yuan, I just thought of making tofu. I wonder if I should tell others how to make more tofu. Embarrassed."
"Oh, tell them?" Xiao Yuan turned his head and glanced at the children without asking Beckham to answer, and then said: "Since your brother and sister let you be responsible for this matter, you can be in charge of this matter. Even if it is wrong, brother and sister will do it. Agree.
For example, when you served as the magistrate of Jian'an County, as long as you don’t kill those people in the county, it doesn’t matter how much we do. If there is no problem, the brother and sister will naturally compensate, just more and less.
Fortunately, we succeeded at that time, otherwise it would be difficult for us to come up and play since then. We haven't made any major mistakes, so we can still come out as patrol agents.
So if you want to tell the secret of the high production of tofu, just say, even if you make a mistake, your elder brother and sister will smooth things out. Whoever researched the craftsmanship in our two families will have to make up for it. "
"Yes, it was made by a carpenter's wife, under the guidance of my brother and sister.
I have already rewarded their family, but the reward is not because of the ownership of the tofu production process, but because of the spirit of study and success.
Although all the things made by the inner court belong to the Lord’s family, including the people in the inner court, the situation in our family is a bit special. There is a reputation issue in it. Whoever makes the things enjoys most of the honor, too. It is the right of authorship, and a small part of the benefits, such as Sister Pomegranate and Sister Xiaohong. If I speak out, how can I compensate others for their reputation? "
Beckham knows a lot about this matter. He doesn’t worry about money, but is only entangled in reputation. This is mainly due to the propaganda of the Zhang Wang family on their own inner courtyard, especially the seedling guard team. "This is the same propaganda for most of Datang's army.
Therefore, the pursuit of reputation in the inner courtyard of the family is much higher than that of money. Earning a small amount of money is to survive better, and earning a lot of money is to show one's ability. The behavior is the same, and the result is the same, but the starting point is different. .
"How about... Discuss with your brother and sister?" Xiao Yuan suggested.
"Let's talk about it later, if it doesn't work, publish a book, let the tofu maker write down all the methods, and use her name." Xiaobei struggled between helping others to increase the production of tofu and the reputation of the inner courtyard, and only thought of publishing a book. Way.
The team continued to move forward towards the old Liushu Village, which is relatively high in actual height.
Lao Liushu Village does have children, but the purpose of Xiaobei and others is not to pick up the children, but to settle the children around the village, and at the same time help take care of the original children in the village, and free up the village staff to come to the county to help with the construction.
Lao Liushu Village has a high terrain, so as long as it is not next to the house by the river, it can’t be washed away. Therefore, it is strictly necessary to use force to plunder property. But the whole village has a surname, Liu, not to mention that the people are brave enough to rebel, but If you bully one person, the whole village can still do it.
Laoliushu Village does not have much land for farming. It has a hilly landform and is full of willow trees. The villagers rely on simple utensils made of willow wood and furniture that is not good for corrosion.
The villagers’ wickerwork is especially good. With the willow mushrooms and firewood, life in the village is pretty good.
Nowadays, because Datang encourages breeding, the willow tree trip has become a natural home for chickens. Villagers use willow branches to make a basket and place it horizontally under the tree, and the chickens go in and raise their offspring.
Zhang Xiaobao was interested in the craftsmanship of the villagers in weaving baskets.
Xiaobei shouldered the task of persuading the villagers to come out and help, and by the way, he took the children from the county seat to hide in Laoliushu Village.
The children walked in the middle, and the seedling guards were guarding on both sides. The seedling guards of nine children, including Xiaobei, did not stay in the county to help. Not only was there no shortage of people, but there were a few more doctors. To Zhang Xiaobao Said that the safety of relatives is more important, he will not do anything to put his relatives in danger and save others first.
"I announce, eat." At about noon, Beckham gave the order, and the tired children cheered, seeming to regain their strength instantly, which is amazing.
The children are not hungry. They also ate a lot of pork floss brought by Beckham for more than half an hour. They were worried about the "box lunch" prepared by the Zhang family for the inner courtyard, which can be heated by water.
The seedling guards covered the temporary shed and heated the lunch with the water they brought with them. Due to the large portion, the two children shared a portion, plus the fruits produced in autumn, a meal that was fairly nutritious and could be eaten. .
The process is unavoidable. He eats a piece of meat less, and he lied to her that the chili was so delicious that she was crying.
Beckham didn’t mean to discourage him at all. Instead, he followed suit. In order to trick a boy into the delicious taste of chili, he ate two chili peppers. In the end, the boy was fooled and grinned sharply. , The food that couldn't be eaten was forced to Xiaoyuan, so that Xiaoyuan kept chewing hawthorn pills when he was on the way.
Around five quarters later, the boundary of Old Liushu Village arrived.
In front of everyone was a river nine feet wide. There were seven iron ropes dangling in the wind and rain. The seven iron ropes were one on each side. The bridge deck was five, with a distance of more than a foot. The top was bare and there were no slabs.
On the other side of the river, villagers can faintly see that the wicker net weaves is obliquely blocked by the water. If fish passes by the river, they will accidentally get stuck in the grid. After the gills pass through the mesh, they cannot move forward or retreat because they are too big. Pull it up and put it in a willow basket.
Looking at the flowing water under the bridge, Beckham scratched his head, picked up the fast soil and threw it down, watching the speed of the water splashing away, taking a deep breath and saying, "It will be tiring to jump inside and swim over."
Xiao Yuan looked down at the water and shook his head: "If one of our team can swim past, it's you, I won't make it. It's not a question of who is good at water, but who is dead. "
"Then find the boards and let people spread them? I guess the boards were deliberately demolished by the villagers to prevent the people sent by the solemn from crossing the river. Look, it was built with the aid of my family's Zhengzheng Construction Group, I wrote."
Beckham found the record of the bridge at the pier of the bridge.
People who were close saw it, and sure enough, there was a line of words engraved on it.
"Zhengzheng Construction Group passes by, and the villagers raise money by themselves, free of labor costs to assist in the construction."
"The iron cables were not made by my family. I would probably use some cement. It seems that the money earned by Zhengzheng Construction in Hongnong County was spent. Otherwise, it's just a chain bridge. Why let the village pay for it."
Xiao Yuan analyzed it.
"It's a drop or a drop. The Zhengzheng construction in my house is not a profit-making department. Its role is to support workers and help the family earn a good reputation. It is also an engineer reserve training department." Zhang Fang, who has never liked talking, stroked words with his hands. .
Beckham lifted his foot and kicked the bridge pier twice: "How do you pass the current problem, one by one? I'm afraid it might be dangerous."
The little bead who also didn't like her mouth pursed her lips, and said in a low voice, "It's better to learn the story told by brother and sister in small talk."
