Duo Yi nodded seriously: "I want to master martial arts just like my brothers, so I can go wherever I want in the future."
Therefore, if you want your child to grow, you should often take them to see outstanding people so that they can directly experience the gap between themselves and others, thereby motivating them to strive forward.
Children raised in a greenhouse lack a competitive spirit and don't understand why they should do things arranged by their parents, so they naturally don't do them with much effort.
Winter has arrived, and the mugwort leaves on the mountain are gradually fading away. If we wait any longer, they will be gone, and the next harvest will not be until March or April of next year.
In order to store more soap for the winter, the mother and son searched for mugwort leaves everywhere outside.
The trio who went hunting in the forest, along with their two dogs, returned with six wild boars and a bunch of pheasants and rabbits. Just as they were about to go back in, Yu Rujia stopped them.
Yu Rujia: "That's enough. Let's take these back today." The six wild boars weigh over a thousand kilograms in total, enough for their family to use for a long time.
Duo Shou was planning how to cook the six pigs: "One to eat right away, two for hunting meat, and three for jerky. Making braised meat to sell is not an option."
Yu Rujia: "Duoji, Duole, do you want to sell braised meat?"
Dole's eyes sparkled as she asked, "Mom, can you buy us one?"
The little guy hasn't had any money for two months and really misses the days when he could count money.
Yu Rujia was speechless. Their family didn't need him. The little guy was not even ten years old, yet he already owned property and had over a thousand yuan in pocket money. She really didn't know where his addiction to making money came from.
Feeling guilty for neglecting his younger brother, Duoshou immediately said, "Let's go in again and bring out two more so that Duoji and Duole can take them to sell."
They were outnumbered, and it was already dark when they returned home with their prey.
Fortunately, the weather is cold now, so the meat won't spoil if left overnight.
The next day, the children skillfully took up knives and began slaughtering pigs. Xia Jingxing, who was rarely home, saw his nephews busy at work and went to help.
Xia Jingxing: "How many pigs are you planning to sell today?"
Du Le said happily, "Two heads, the rest can be kept at home to eat or made into cured meat and jerky."
Xia Jingxing: "Since you all like doing business so much, why don't you buy a shop and sell your favorite foods there?"
Dorjee: "My older brothers aren't here, and Mom won't let me and Duole go up the mountain by ourselves. She'll only take us a few times a year at most. The shop has to be closed all year round, so it's not worth it. Besides, we have to go to school, so we don't have time to look after the shop."
Xia Jingxing: "You can hire someone to watch the shop. I watched your process of making braised meat. The main thing is the seasoning. You can mix it yourself, grind it into powder, and wrap it in several layers of fine cloth."
“Have the shop’s employees go to the market every day to buy meat, and bring back all the meat that can be braised. After school, you can go to the shop to add the seasonings. You don’t have to worry about others learning the recipe, and you can make money at the same time.”
With the relaxation of restrictions on animal husbandry, many families in the countryside are eager to make money.
Not only did they take good care of the land, but they also raised pigs, chickens, and ducks; some families even raised several pigs.
Some clever people simply started breeding farms.
Meat is no longer as scarce as it was when ration coupons were in place; with a little effort, you can still buy it.
Duo Shou said, "This is a solution. You two can try it. If you don't have enough money to buy the shop, you can borrow it from me."
“My aunt used to make delicious braised dishes using scraps of chicken and duck, such as duck necks, duck feet, and chicken feet. These are available at the slaughterhouse; you can go there and ask.”
"I can make all those seasonings. I'll tell you when the time comes. If you sell a variety of flavors, your shop will definitely be a hit."
Duole seemed to see countless amounts of money flying towards him, and the little boy's face turned red with excitement: "Fifth Brother, what do you think about us opening a shop together?"
Dorjee had a privileged upbringing and had little concept of money. However, his four older brothers were all busy with their own things, leaving him and his two younger brothers with nothing to do. He thought it would be nice to have a shop to manage.
Dorjee: "Okay, how much for one shop?"
Xia Jingxing: "I can find a shop. I'll let you know when I find one."
In order to make money, Duoji Duole learned a few braised food recipes from Duoshou. When Xia Jingxing found a shop, the two of them discussed it and, since they didn't have enough cash on hand, they pulled Duoshou into the business.
However, it was mostly Duoji Duole who was busy with the shop's affairs, as Duoshou was simply too busy to take care of things here.
After buying the shop, and with Xia Jingshu helping them get all the necessary permits and licenses, the two brothers began their daily routine of running around.
With nothing else to do, Xia Yuanqiang often went to their shop to keep an eye on things. To outsiders, it looked like a grandfather running a shop with his two grandsons.
With a group of influential figures around them, and being quite intelligent themselves, the two brothers were able to smoothly open their shop before the Lunar New Year.
They had been setting up a stall for two years and had accumulated many loyal customers.
Seeing that the children had opened a shop and had a fixed location, they no longer had to frequently change the location and time of their braised food stall as before. If they wanted to eat some authentic braised food, they had to search all over the streets.
The regular customers were overjoyed and frequented the store, while more and more new customers became regulars. The two young men's business was booming, and money kept flowing in.
Duole was overjoyed, like a mouse buried in a rice jar.
He even opened a branch store without any formal training, showing that Duole truly has a talent for business.
In May of 1981, Xia Jingshu received a call from Mayor Fang, who was originally the captain of Tongfeng Brigade, later became the head of Dongyuan Commune, and was promoted to mayor last year.
When he was the head of the cooperative, he strongly supported the various brigades in reclaiming wasteland and generating income, and he also took a lot of fruit seedlings from Yu Rujia's home.
Thanks to his vigorous promotion, watermelons were planted in several production brigades.
He had connections and could transport watermelons to the city to sell. Hundreds of thousands of kilograms of watermelons would be sold out quickly in the city, bringing considerable revenue to several production brigades.
With the advent of free trade, watermelons, a fruit with a short production cycle, easy cultivation, and popularity, became a favorite among farmers, and families with land would grow some.
Not only do they grow it, but people in the city are also growing it. The sales of fruit in the town are not as good. Last year, it took a lot of effort to sell all the watermelons.
More people are planting this year, so the situation will only be worse than last year.
The fruit spoiled if left out for too long, and the anxious local officials reported the matter up the chain of command, eventually reaching Mayor Fang.
Mayor Fang has limited connections, but he can still find a way to get the million kilograms of fruit.
But every household grows fruit, and the whole town has at least tens of millions of kilograms of fruit. He really couldn't sell it all just by relying on his connections in the city.
Mayor Fang thought of the learned and knowledgeable Xia Jingshu and tried to find a solution from him.
