My father is Yuan Shu?But I want to be a Cao thief

Chapter 477 Development
In the second year of Kaiyuan, the last day of December.

At this moment, the capital of Chu and Han is Hefei.

The city is already decorated with lanterns and festoons, and every household is beaming with joy. Today is the arrival of the new year.

This is also the second nod in the true meaning of Chu and Han. The first year of Kaiyuan was early spring, and only the beginning of the second year of Kaiyuan has passed. This is the second year of Chu and Han.

In the early morning of the new year, every household is already bustling with activity. Although the whole of Hefei is wrapped in severe cold, the noise is full of fireworks.
Everyone had a smile on their face that day.

On the bed, the parents are putting on new clothes for their children, cotton padded clothes, which are very warm. This year, the Chu and Han cotton harvests have been bumper, and the whole of Hefei with a little money will make cotton padded clothes for their dolls to wear.

"My son's father, you have to put on the newly bought cotton padded clothes today, as a good omen." The woman tidied up the child, and immediately glanced at her husband.

"Okay, okay, I'll wear it when I turn back. I don't have to do the work first. Cotton clothes are not easy to wash. I'm afraid it will get dirty. I'll wear it when I'm done eating later."

The man in his thirties answered in a humming voice, smiling all over.

"As you please!" The woman rolled her eyes, too lazy to care.

"Okay, there are still people at the fair today, I'll go buy some meat!" The man scratched his head, took out some coins, and said cheerfully.

"Whether you were asked to buy it yesterday or not, you have to buy it today." The woman curled her lips and said something.

"Hey, isn't it fresher to buy today! The meat has to be slaughtered and slaughtered fresh. The meat on the market in the past two days has been slaughtered and slaughtered fresh. It's very delicious!" The man said with a smile.

"Cut, the price of meat has gone up these past two days, don't you know? It's worth a penny per catty, so you can save some money if you buy it earlier?" The woman pouted.

"Hey, it's not bad, it's fresh and delicious!" The man waved his hand, he was struggling for money all year round, so it's not bad at all.

"What a fool, if it was six or seven years ago, let alone a penny, even a kid would have to figure it out." The woman rolled her eyes.

"Hey, what are you doing back then? Now that the Duke of Chu governs Chu and Han, how can the lives of our common people be worse? Can it be compared to now?"

"If you want me to say, I really hope that our Duke Chu will live a thousand years, ten thousand years. He has brought too much to our people!"

Looking back on the year, the man also sighed. He didn't know how he survived, but he knew that what Chu Gong did was amazing.

"That's right. Duke Chu is not only honest and upright, but the key is to do things for our people. It is said that the construction of the second bridge on the Huaihe River has already started. Tsk tsk, it's amazing!"

The woman never asked about government affairs, but when it came to Chu Feng, she was full of praise, because she could clearly feel the changes in her life over the years.

From the beginning of the hunger and cold, not to mention porridge, some even eat soil, and then they can eat thin porridge, then it becomes thick porridge, and later it becomes occasional corn and rice.

After that, now they can eat corn and rice every day, this has become very common,

And then, now they not only eat corn and rice, they can also eat a la carte every meal, especially when Chu Feng announced that the iron pan can be used for stir-frying, and better families can almost eat stir-fry every meal.

As for now, their family even said that it is not a big problem to eat meat every now and then. Back then, eating meat was definitely a dream.

This series of changes made all the people absolutely grateful to Chu Feng.

There is a saying that those who try their best to survive the troubled times cherish the hard-earned prosperity, which is absolutely very reasonable.

People who have experienced war and hunger have a feeling of suffering and happiness in today's life.

"Oh, the second bridge on the Huaihe River has also started construction? Where was it built?" The man was also surprised and asked hastily.

"Tch, you're the only one who talks about paying attention every day, and you don't even know about this until now!" The woman curled her lips, a little contemptuous.

"In Yangquan, it is said that Yangquan can directly lead to Runan. Duke Chu wants to link the boundary of Runan and Lujiang River, which is very good!" the woman explained.

"Oh, it's a good thing!" The man laughed heartily. Although building this thing is of little use to him, it symbolizes the strength of the country!
At the very least, it symbolized the strength of Chu Han.

"Let's not talk about the Huaihe River. It is estimated that the Yangtze River Bridge will have to be built soon. It is said that the site of the Yangtze River Bridge is already being selected, and it is in Shicheng!"

"I heard that because there is a Jiajiang River in Shicheng, bridge construction can be added in the middle, which can effectively reduce the amount and difficulty of the project."

"At that time, once the Yangtze River Bridge is built, it will definitely be a historic moment! And I heard that in order to prevent the bridge from being difficult to transport, it will be poured on site."

The woman said triumphantly.

"What do you mean?" The man only knew that he was making money every day, and he had never heard of some information, so he was very puzzled.

"You don't know this? It's the first to erect more piers and then support them. As for the bridge deck, it adopts a slightly arched shape, but this kind of arched bridge will be very heavy, so the engineering department may decide to pour it on site."

"To put it simply, it is to use the bridge below to support it, then directly pour cement, lay steel bars, and wait for the cement to dry, then it will be a perfect bridge."

"It is said that the span is very large, and the engineering department will erect steel giant pillars on the bank and in the middle of the Jiajiang River, and then use steel cables to bear the force, which can reduce the possibility of breaking the bridge in the middle."

"In short, the above know better than us. Someone is already surveying and mapping. It is estimated that construction will probably start this year. If the cross-river bridge can be built by then, it will definitely be a historic scene!"

The woman said with a sigh.

"Ok, ok, where did you hear that?" the man asked curiously.

"Hey, where can't you hear this?" The woman curled her lips. This kind of rumor has already spread, and people everywhere are talking about it.

"Well, I can't understand it either, but it feels very powerful," the man nodded, and he didn't know if it was true or not.

"Okay, don't think about it, go buy meat, if you don't go, it will be sold out!" The woman pouted and reminded.

"Yeah, okay, I'll go buy it now!" The man nodded with a smug smile on his face.

"Well, go ahead, cut some more and let Bao'er eat enough! By the way, don't just buy pork, but also cut some mutton. I'll make some mutton soup for Bao'er."

The woman curled her lips and couldn't help reminding.

"Isn't there an old hen at home? Kill the old hen and make soup!" The man was immediately surprised and asked curiously.

"Hey, the old hen still has to save the spring to lay eggs. I plan to raise more chickens this year, and then kill them for meat next year!"

The woman rolled her eyes, as if I don't know how to arrange it?
"Okay, okay, up to you, up to you!" The man had no choice but to take some coins, and happily got up and went out!
As soon as he went out, the neighbors also got up.

"Hehe, Lao Li, are you going out so early in the morning?" the neighbor woman asked with a smile.

"Hey, isn't it just a new year, cut some meat for the doll!" The man responded with a hearty smile.

"Hehe, my family cut it a few days ago. It's enough for seven or eight catties of pork. It's very fragrant. You don't know how much our gluttonous monkey ate!"

The woman sighed and shook her head, and said.

"Children, be greedy, eat more, and grow up, so that you can be loyal to Da Chu in the future and create a prosperous world for Da Chu!"

The man smiled heartily.

"That's true. Has your doll ever done her homework during winter vacation? My doll knows it every day, and she said she would definitely finish it in a few days!"

The woman smiled wryly, and then said heartily.

"Winter vacation homework? He didn't tell me that there is such a thing!" The man froze for a moment, a little dazed.

"Haha, that bastard in your family is more playful than mine. Why don't you just say that you have homework? These homework are assigned by the teacher, and you have to hand them in after the winter vacation."

The woman laughed out loud, and sighed a little.

"Well, I'm going to deal with that kid when I turn around, and I dare not tell me, but I'm going to find him now!" The more the man thought about it, the more angry he became.

"Hahahaha!" the woman laughed.

After leaving the house, the man shouted: "Xiaobao, come here!"

"Father, what's the matter?" The boy was about seven or eight years old, and when he was officially playful and active, he asked with a red face and a snot hanging from his nose.

"What's the matter? Did your teacher assign you homework for the winter vacation? Why didn't you tell me?" the man asked directly.

"You didn't ask me either!" the boy muttered, he finally had a winter vacation and had so much fun, he didn't want to do his winter homework.

"Okay you brat, come here," the man laughed angrily, and he didn't know how to reply to these words directly!
"Father, I'll finish writing later, and I promise not to embarrass my father!" the boy immediately promised.

"Okay, I promise to be faster than the children of Sister Zhang's family next door, do you hear?" The man thought for a while and said proactively.

"Yeah, good!" The boy nodded.

"Let's go, Dad will take you to Daji. Dad has brought a lot of money. Tell me what you want to eat, and Dad will buy it for you today!" The man patted his chest and said heartily.

"I want to eat candied haws! I also want to eat those pastries!" the boy said excitedly.

"Let's go!" the man said heartily.

Because they all live in the city, the city is surrounded by three roads, but even if there are three roads, they were not close in the past.

The main thing is that the expansion of Hefei was too big at the beginning, almost several times the original size.

Suzaku Street, one of the markets in the city.

Today, Suzaku Street is already full of people early in the morning.

"Daddy, there are so many people!" the boy shouted excitedly.

"Of course, the common people have money now. Back then, your father and I couldn't go to episodes a few times a year. Every time we went to episodes, we bought some salt or something. It's a shame!"

The man seemed to recall bitterness and sweetness, and said something with emotion. He also lamented that today's life is good, and this kind of life is what ordinary people should have.

"Let's go, Dad will take you to the butcher's stall!" Holding the boy's hand, the man said heartily.

"Father, I want to eat candied haws!" The boy's eyes lit up. He really likes candied haws. It's sweet on the outside but sour on the inside. It's delicious!

"Okay, I'll buy it for you!" the man said with a smile.

After a while, the man took the boy to the entrance of the meat stall. There was very little beef at the meat stall, or it was not allowed to be sold, unless it was a normal birth, old age, sickness and death, and then there was a certificate issued by the village, otherwise the cattle were not allowed to be sold!

The main purchases are pork, mutton, and dog meat.

There are several meat stalls in a row, and there are many people in front of each stall, and behind these stalls, there are people who are slaughtering pigs, all of which are freshly killed.
Although it looks bloody, it is definitely very fresh, and they have to sell dozens of big fat pigs on this day, which is popular among ordinary people.
Especially the ones with darts, the fat ones can be refined, and they taste delicious!
"Xiaobao, how much can you eat?" The man looked at the fresh meat and asked with a smile.

"I can eat a hundred catties," the boy hummed while biting a hawthorn,

"One hundred catties? Don't talk nonsense. Sister Zhang next door cut off six or seven catties. I decided to cut ten catties and then buy two catties of mutton. Let's have a good year this time!"

The man thought for a while and said immediately.

No matter what, the most important thing is not to be less than others!
"Yeah," the boy didn't know, but he also thought it was better than Sister Zhang's house next door, so that he could brag to her son!

"Boss, how do you sell pork today?" the man asked.

"Hey, it's cheap. The fat one is fifteen cents a catty, and the thin one is eleven cents. This kind of fat and thin one is thirteen cents."

The owner of the meat stall held a butcher's knife and briefly introduced the main types of meat for sale.

"Hey, it's a little higher than the previous few days!" The man curled his lips.

"It's a little bit higher, but it's not much, and you can finish it if you cut it off during the Chinese New Year!" The meat stall owner said with a smile.

You have to make some money during the Chinese New Year, otherwise, who will come out to set up a stall!
"Where's the mutton?" The man asked again.

"The leg of lamb is 16 catties, and the other meat is 14 catties. What do you want?" The butcher asked with a smile.

"Well, cut me five catties of fat, three catties of streaky meat, two catties of lean meat, and a leg of lamb. Cut it better for me, don't cut it randomly!" the man couldn't help but reminded.

"Hey, don't worry, I'm famous for being steady, as long as I don't cut it blindly, I can cut it well for you!"

The butcher stall owner is very confident, and he has made a lot of money selling pigs in recent years.

"Then cut it off!" The man nodded.

"Is this kind of pork bone edible? It's very cheap, five yuan a catty!" The meat stall owner recommended again with a smile.

"Hey, who eats this kind of bone, and there are not many pieces of meat," the man immediately refused. Although it is cheap, there is no meat!

"The stewed soup is delicious. Do you want to eat this kind of ribs? Ten yuan a catty, it tastes very good!" The meat stall owner recommended again.

The main thing is that these things are really not easy to sell!
"do not want!"

"Where's the pig's trotters? It's delicious to eat! And these pig tails are also delicious!" The meat stall owner finally met a big customer and kept selling them.

"Hey, there's no need, this is enough, who will eat what you said," the man shook his head and immediately refused.

"Okay, come on, I'll cut it for you. Five catties of fat are 75, three catties of five flowers are 39, two catties of lean meat are 22, and three catties of lamb legs are 48!"

"A total of 180 four, I will give you a zero, one hundred and eight!" The butcher stall owner quickly calculated.

"Here," the man was not stingy, and immediately took out the money he brought and counted it to the butcher stall owner. It was one hundred and eighty, and he had to work for five days.

But it’s Chinese New Year, eating is fun!
