Chapter 43 New Year's New Weather

In the morning, Du Xiaoyu was woken up by the sound of firecrackers again, and he didn't even sleep for a few hours, but it was rare for him to wake up once a year without staying in bed at all.

New clothes had already been placed on the kang, and new shoes were placed on the floor. She dressed up happily and walked out of the room.

"Second Brother, Happy New Year! Gong Xi Fa Cai!" The first one met Du Wenyuan, who just came out of the house, and the two of them always got up the latest in the family.

Du Wenyuan was also wearing new clothes, and the dark red cloud-patterned robe made him more graceful. Hearing this, he smiled at her, "Well, happy new year."

"Congratulations on my getting rich?" Du Xiaoyu blinked.

"I get rich because you get rich." Du Wenyuan said and walked forward.

How is this the same?Du Xiaoyu curled her lips, if he made a fortune and hid it as private money, she wouldn't be in the same boat!
Over there, Du Xian, his wife and Du Huanghua got up early, and breakfast was already prepared and set up on a table. There were steamed buns, steamed stuffed buns, porridge, four cold dishes, and the jujube soup made last night. For a bowl of noodles, it is extremely rich.

Du Xiaoyu followed Du Wenyuan to respectfully kowtow to his parents for New Year greetings, and after saying hello to his elder sister, he sat down.

"Come on, collect the New Year's money." Du Xian smiled and took out three red envelopes from his arms and gave one to each of them, "You three children have suffered a lot with us. Last year, the family finally saved some money. You Mother said, I should give more anyway, use it to buy something I like, ah, no need to save. Huang Hua, I have a car to go to the town tomorrow, it is very lively there, I will take the two of them for a stroll .”

Du Xiaoyu's eyes were a little wet when he took the red envelope, thanked his parents and lowered his head.

"This child is not usually the most talkative, why is he eating with his head covered today." Zhao joked.

"I'm happy in my heart. Look, I'm holding the money tightly." Du Huanghua said with a smile.

After dinner, Du Huanghua went to help wash the dishes. Du Xiaoyu opened the red envelope and looked at it, and found that there was fifty Wen in it, which was a lot for a family whose annual income was only a few taels of silver. It turned out that her mother was not Blindly eccentric, but also love the two sisters.She felt a little sour in her heart, so, would mother agree with the elder sister to learn Suzhou embroidery?

Time is running out, the Lantern Festival will be in half a month!
After thinking about it, she went to find Mrs. Zhao.

"Mom, I have something to ask you."

Hearing her timid voice, Mrs. Zhao reached out and patted her head, "What's the matter, but what do you want to buy?"

"No." Du Xiaoyu took a deep breath, "Mother, didn't I talk about Su embroidery last time, in fact, the eldest aunt of my second brother's friend Zhang Zhuoyu knows Su embroidery, and she opened the Red Sleeve Shop in the town. Zhang Zhuoyu said that if the eldest sister wants to learn, she can try it, and he can help a little bit, mother, do you think it's okay?"

"There's another thing." Mrs. Zhao frowned and didn't speak for a while.

"My sister likes Suzhou embroidery. When my sister and I went to sell embroidery pieces at Baixiufang, my sister told me about it, but I didn't dare to tell my mother." Du Xiaoyu said, "I'm afraid my mother won't allow it."

Zhao frowned again.

"Mother, sister works so hard every day, you can let her learn what she likes, at worst, I will work harder in the future, okay?"

"Hey, it's not that mother refuses." Zhao finally said, "Huang Hua just keeps everything in mind, since you said she likes to learn it, then you can learn it, anyway, it won't waste much time. "

It seems that I am a little relieved, but how can I not delay the time, it will take three years!Du Xiaoyu hesitated whether to make it clear, but heard Zhao said, "We will always buy some fields next year. How can you help me when you are young? You still have to work hard for your sister for a while. It will be fine if she gets married. , naturally it’s not my turn to take care of it.”

Du Xiaoyu couldn't speak these words, Tian Yiduo's sister didn't have time to learn embroidery!No, we must find a way out!As for whether to marry or not, there is no suitable choice anyway, so there is no rush.

"Then I'll be a mother first and agree." Du Xiaoyu went out after saying a few words.

The first day of the new year is usually a day to go to the homes of relatives and elders to pay New Year's greetings, but my grandmother is so close that I can't go, and my grandfather passed away a long time ago. I heard that my grandmother passed away a few years ago. The Zhao family has an older brother and a younger sister. They are all far away from Beidong Village, and they don't have much contact with each other, so the Du family has no relatives to leave, so they just hang out at home.

Unexpectedly, two younger relatives came in the afternoon. They were Wu's daughters Du Feng and Du Yu. The children accompany and talk.

They were all girls. Du Wenyuan said hello and left first. Du Huanghua had a deep resentment towards her grandmother and used the excuse of doing housework. In the end, only Du Xiaoyu was left.Although I don't hate the two sisters, but I don't have much to say. Seeing the impatience on Du Yu's face, I knew that the two sisters would definitely not come if it wasn't for the grandmother's intention. Du Feng was completely different. He turned a corner and talked about how grandma cared about their family.

Du Xiaoyu casually said a few words, Du Feng probably saw that she was young and not very sensible, so she went to find Du Huanghua, but it turned out that she was very hot when she shaved her head, and she left after a while.

And this was just a small episode that didn't affect their mood, and the three of them hurried to Feixian Town early in the morning of the second day.

The new year is really different, and so is the town. Shops are open in every family, because the children have lucky money during the Chinese New Year, and the adults also come out to have fun. How can a businessman miss such an opportunity.

Du Xiaoyu's first goal was to go to Wangyue Tower, of course she didn't forget to bring her peanut butter.

The shopkeeper, Mao Zong, heard that the three siblings were here again, so he was very happy to call in to meet him. Although the dried tofu last time was made by other restaurants soon, he still fished it for him in the first ten and a half months. A sum of money, the mere 20 taels given away is really nothing, so this time I am quite looking forward to it.

However, it was just ordinary peanut butter. Mao Zong was a little disappointed. It was just a lot of seasonings for a restaurant, and I don't know if others like it or not.

Fortunately, Du Xiaoyu didn't charge too much, he sold it for only two taels of silver, and he also gave away several recipes, which made Mao Zong feel a little embarrassed in the end.

This is what Du Xiaoyu wanted. Her original purpose was to use this to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with Mao Zong. Then, if there are any good ideas in the future, it will be easier to open up sales.When leaving, Du Xiaoyu asked, "Master Mao, are there many people who eat rabbit meat here?"

Mao Zong thought for a while and said, "Not a lot."

"Why?" Du Xiaoyu said, "Rabbit meat is delicious, and I read in a book that rabbit meat can also cure diseases, right, second brother?"

I've been watching her play just now, Du Wenyuan thought, even a big shopkeeper like Mao Zong had a serious conversation with her and bargained with her, it can be seen that he had unconsciously forgotten that the person in front of him was a little girl, and regarded her as an equal My lord, he paused and said, "It is mentioned in the Compendium of Materia Medica that rabbit meat nourishes the middle and Qi, cools the blood and detoxifies, clears the spleen and lungs, nourishes the stomach and intestines. In short, eating it is extremely beneficial to the body."

"So that's how it is," Mao Zong nodded and laughed, "the restaurant has received several distinguished guests from other countries before, and every time they ate rabbit meat, it was hard for me to find them for a while. It seems that they know better than us. The benefits of rabbit meat!"

It sounds like there are not many people raising rabbits. Chinese people haven't developed the habit of eating rabbit meat, right?But it was a matter of time, because it turned out that China was a veritable big country for raising rabbits!
After leaving the Moon Tower, the three of them went to the market. That was still Du Xiaoyu's suggestion. Her goal was very clear. The next thing she wanted to do was to find the white rabbit mentioned by Bai Lianhua last time.

The hard work paid off, and after going around a lot, I found a small stall selling rabbits on the west side of the market.

"Sister, look at the white rabbit!" She said and rushed up to take a closer look. It was really a big white rabbit, but it was a little different from the white rabbit in her impression. It was bigger and its ears were shorter. I don't know. what breed.

"Isn't there a rabbit at home?" Du Huanghua didn't understand why she was so excited.

Du Xiaoyu turned a deaf ear to it, pointed and asked, "How much is this rabbit?"

The peddler didn't even bother to raise his head, "Two hundred coins each."

"It's so expensive!" Du Huanghua exclaimed. A fat wild rabbit can only be bought for a hundred yuan at most, and these white rabbits are just cubs, claiming that they don't have a catty.

In fact, white rabbits were very rare in the early days, and they were often regarded as auspicious. At that time, they should be sold expensively, but now the country is strong and prosperous, and there are many transactions with other countries. Most of them have introduced some white varieties and sold them. So expensive is a bit of a scam.

Du Xiaoyu smiled and asked, "Where did your rabbit come from? I've never seen this color before. Could it be from some other country?"

"Hey, the little girl really knows the goods." The peddler finally raised his head, "This rabbit was brought by a caravan from Brunei. Look, how clean and beautiful it is, how can a wild rabbit compare to it, right? They are all bought by the ladies to play with, they are as smart as cats and dogs."

"How smart is it? It's not the same as pooping everywhere." Du Xiaoyu disagreed with this point. She squatted down and stared at the rabbits, and half-pointed at one of them, "Show me this one."

"Little girl, really want to buy it?" The peddler looked at her.

"Of course I'll buy it if it's good. If it's not good, I won't buy it." Du Xiaoyu said flatly.

Seeing that she has a strong tone and that the materials of the clothes are very good, the two girls are as beautiful as flowers in their clothes. Maybe the family environment is good, the peddler thought about it, took the rabbit out, and warned, "Don't fell."
