Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 1520 Leave
Xiao Xiuer, Goya, Yu Cheng and others have returned to the prosperous Bengang. This is a completely different world from the Atayal tribe. There are also Atayal tribesmen working in the town, no different from ordinary people, mainly hunting of tribal labor began to be lost to towns or plantations.

"Sister Xiao, what do you think the village where we grew up will look like in the future?"

Goya lost his usual competitive look, but began to think about something.

"It is estimated that there will be fewer and fewer people, and more people will start to immigrate to towns and speak the same language." Xiao Xiu'er replied.

"Wouldn't the village be less populated in that way, and only the older generation would remain in the village?"

"This is inevitable. The supply of living materials in cities and towns is more efficient. In the future, the farmland is estimated to be contracted by many grain companies. They will use steam plows, chemical fertilizers, and strip seeders to carry out large-scale operations to improve production efficiency."

"Does that mean we won't be able to see our village next time we come back?"

"Silly girl, this won't happen so quickly. There are still some people who are reluctant to leave the village, or the people who set up the food company are the people in the village. At least the village will still exist as long as we are alive."

Xiao Xiu'er tried her best to appease Goya's emotions. This kind of visible change is really very impactful.

The current Atayal tribes have seen some young labor force outflow. The process of urbanization is unstoppable. Some people will come to towns to get in touch with new things in order to earn more money and live a better life.

This is not just a small tribe in Yizhou where this kind of thing is happening, even mountain villages in other provinces are also in this predicament.

When the world is peaceful and the cities and towns start to flourish again, the cities and towns will attract labor from the surrounding mountain villages to fill the vacancies in the labor market.

This kind of vacancy is especially manifested in Yizhou, where there are not many immigrants. It needs to rely on local aborigines to make up for the vacancy of labor force, so it is more attractive to the labor force of plain tribes and high mountain tribes.

"Sister Xiao, if we want to return to the capital, do we want to buy something for those sisters?" Goya said to Xiao Xiu'er.

Naturally, she was talking about Ella, Da Yuer and others who had a good relationship with Xiao Xiuer.

"Hmm...let me think about what I should bring back." Xiao Xiu'er thought about it carefully. It's really not easy to find a special product in Yizhou. After all, is there anything in the capital?
Xiaoxiuer and Goya stayed in Bengang for three days, wandering around the nearby markets, but they still couldn't find anything unique enough to suit the two of them.

"Why don't you buy some high mountain tea from Yizhou? Although the army master and the others have tasted the tea here, but the courtesy is light and the affection is heavy, as long as you receive this kindness." Yu Cheng suggested.

"It has to be like this." Xiao Xiu'er and Ge Ya went to buy a few boxes of high-quality mountain tea.

This time I returned to Yizhou to visit the tribe where they grew up. It was just a glimpse, but they could get a general feel of the development of Yizhou, a relatively remote island.Unlike the Central Plains who ignored this place before, the Kyushu Army took it as a very important granary after occupying it, planting rice and sugar cane, and it was also a very important transit port.

Xiao Xiu'er, Ge Ya and Yu Cheng all had their own jobs, so they couldn't stay in Yizhou for too long, and soon they found a merchant ship back to the capital.

"Miss Xiao, I heard that you are leaving here. I can't leave here. Otherwise, I really want to go to the capital again. It is much more prosperous than Bengang. I don't think there is anything valuable here. Things, if you take this box of pineapples away, it may be useful on the boat. Don’t refuse, there are actually not many pineapples in such a box, and it’s not worth much."

Ouyang Jie asked someone to bring a box of freshly picked pineapples, intending to give it to Xiao Xiu'er.

He also knew that there was a long distance between the capital and Yizhou, unless Xiao Xiuer planned to stay in Yizhou, the two of them would not be possible at all.

However, he didn't feel depressed about it, but came to see Xiao Xiu'er off as an old acquaintance reunion.

Xiao Xiu'er originally planned to refuse, but she seemed to have thought of something, so she chose to accept this box of pineapples: "Thank you, Mr. Ouyang, if there is a destiny, we will meet again in the future."

"Bon Voyage!"

Ouyang Jie is not a self-proclaimed sentimental person, otherwise he would not have resolutely returned from the capital to Yizhou to reclaim wasteland. He heartily bid farewell to Xiao Xiu'er and the others.

"He's actually a good man, but it's a pity that he has nothing to do with you, sister." Goya said to Xiao Xiu'er beside him, looking at the people on the dock who were getting smaller and smaller.

"What is predestined but not related, don't talk nonsense." Xiao Xiu'er sighed softly.

If she hadn't met a man like Chu Yun, maybe Xiao Xiu'er would have thought that Ouyang Jie might be a good choice.

"If sister, you are not interested in him, why did you choose to accept the pineapple he sent?"

"First of all, you don't have to have the intention of admiration to give a gift. Otherwise, Mr. Ouyang would not send pineapple, which is rare but not precious and has no meaning. Secondly, this may be a gift from us. A gift from Ella, Da Yuer, and the military master."

"The taste of pineapple is sour and sweet. It's really novel and good, but it can't satisfy everyone's taste. Moreover, this kind of fruit can't be kept for a long time. It might not be fresh when it arrives in the capital." Goya said very careful.

"You still remember that Mr. Ouyang said when he took us to the pineapple field that they tried to make pineapple pulp into cakes. If we can make it on the way back to the capital, they have never eaten it before. Maybe the military leader, Ella, and Da Yuer will all like the pastries." Xiao Xiuer put forward a bold idea.

"Using pineapple as a stuffed pastry? It's really hard to imagine what kind of cake this kind of sweet and sour filling would taste like, can it really be eaten?" Goya found it hard to imagine.

"How do you know if you don't try it? If you chop it up, dehydrate it, keep the fragrance of the pulp, and try to add other seasonings, maybe it will be a good filling." Xiao Xiuer said.

"Then why don't we try?"

The two of them started to do what they said, and began to try to complete the special pastries that Ouyang Jie and the other farmers had never made thoroughly.

However, they encountered setbacks on the way back. Even with a lot of sugar, the sweetness could not cover the sourness.
