As the little girl spoke, she took out a pile of small porcelain bottles under the expectant gazes of the crowd. There was a lid on each bottle and a spiral buckle. She unscrewed the lid and revealed the yellowish paste inside. She then introduced it to the dumbfounded Xiao Bei.
"Sheep oil skincare products. We are in the northwest. The wind is strong. Most of the time, it is cold and dry. Otherwise, there is a sudden heavy snow. If you come here without protection, your skin will be blown by the wind. It will be very painful. But if you use our skincare products, you are not afraid. Here."
After that, the little girl handed the things to Xiao Bei. Xiao Bei took them and was speechless for a while. After a while, he turned to look at Xiao Yuan and said, "I am so stupid, really. I only thought that fish oil cream could protect the skin, but I forgot that the Jiu Yuan is an important source of sheep oil."
Xiao Yuan nodded seriously. "Yes, it is still an industry of our family's cosmetics. What should we do?"
"Let's change it. It's like the Mid-Autumn Festival. You give people mooncakes. Can't they give you mooncakes? Come on, we also brought skincare products. Let's change it."
Xiao Bei recovered quickly. He took off his backpack and took out the cosmetics they brought.
The little girl was also stunned. She immediately took Xiao Bei's bag happily, showing a satisfied look, and said, "We haven't used fish oil yet. It may be better to change it. If we always use one kind, I am afraid that the effect will be reduced after a long time."
"That's right, that's right. Ah, it smells so good. I want to eat meat skewers." After exchanging gifts, Xiao Bei glanced at the oven, swallowed and said.
The local children immediately handed the barbecued meat skewers to Xiao Bei and others, and stared at them eating. When Zhang Qiang ate a piece of meat first, a little boy quickly asked, "How is it?"
Zhang Qiang nodded. "It's okay. To be honest, the smell of your barbecued meat is too strong. There is absolutely no other seasoning before barbecuing, only salt and cumin. When we eat in Henan Road, the taste is much richer. There is also vinegar. When we eat in Lu Zhou, there is sweetness."
All the children looked very sad. Just as they were about to explain, Zhang Qiang changed the topic and said, "However, the sweet ones are too greasy, and the sour ones lose the original flavor of mutton. Moreover, the meat on the skewers is small because the bamboo there is cheap and can grow very tall in a year, so it doesn't cost any money.
When the meat is too big, the bamboo skewer will break before the meat is cooked. The meat you roast is very satisfying. It's a grassland specialty, so you have to eat it boldly. Also, you cut fine cuts on the big pieces of meat. Children elsewhere can only look up to you. Also, the taste of your meat is different. I feel like I've eaten it before, but it's not the same. "
The children became happy again. The little girl continued, "Did you eat at Hong Nong? A merchant said that there was a good barbecue restaurant in Hongnong City. The meat was first processed, then a layer of fatty meat, a layer of lean meat, and a layer of tendon.
Our barbecue is almost the same as theirs, but there is an extra layer, which is the sheepskin. After being cooked, it tastes like meat and tendons. How can our grassland barbecue lose to other places? "
Xiaobei and others applauded. They had never eaten this kind of barbecue sheepskin.
After eating a skewer, they were half full. That was more than half a jin of meat. The lamb roasted on the rack was also carried over. Xiaobei cut out a few pieces and ate them slowly. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, "Are there any bad guys here who are making trouble? Is there any collusion between officials and businessmen? "
The local children burst into all kinds of laughter at once. After laughing for a while, Xiaobei was stunned. The little girl said, "The Jiu Yuan is your home. If you make trouble and collude with officials and businessmen, it's like a tiger pulling a cart. Who 'drives' it?"
Xiaobei was depressed.
The local children also knew that Xiaobei wanted to catch the bad guys. They were eating and thinking. When they were full, a little boy turned his eyes and said, "There is no one who is too bad. I know a soldier. He is not good. He is always suppressing the credit of his men. Sheep Egg Zi's father was suppressed, and now he has not come out."
"Really? Who is Sheep Egg Zi? "Xiaobei was interested.
"On the other street, he is one year older than me, nine and a half years old, but I am not afraid of him in a fight. His father is good at craftsmanship. He is in charge of the armory. He is managed by the soldier with the surname." The little boy is quite righteous. He usually fights, but he is not vague when he should help.
"He is called Gong Shuhe, not surnamed Gong, surname of two words." The little girl added.
"I know, I know, a compound surname, what is the official of the soldier? What grade? "Xiaobei wanted to catch a big one.
Xiaoyuan said helplessly, "Ninth grade."
"It's good to enter the grade." In order to clean up people, Xiaobei began to be hungry. Even if she went down to check the village chief in her brother's story, she was willing to do it. The deputy national level is deputy, and the village chief is also the official level. Yes, the official level.
The last piece of mutton on the plate was stuffed into his mouth, and then he took a sip of horse milk and coughed a few times. Xiaobei waved his hand and said, "Come on, come with me to visit the official."
Xiaoyuan and other eight children got up sadly for Gong Shuhe and followed. The other children cheered excitedly.
*****
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan only knew that their younger brothers and sisters were going out for a walk, but they did not know that some unlucky people were being targeted. The two watched their subordinates introduce the method of growing chilies to the local officials beside a warehouse.
In their hands, they held the income statement of crops and animal husbandry after last autumn's autumn harvest sent by the local officials, as well as the plan for today's spring plowing.
It was the local officials who took the initiative to send it. Although it was common sense that the two could not control the local officials elsewhere, many things were not calculated according to common sense.
The county magistrate of Jiu Yuan County, Guan Yan, listened carefully to the introduction of chilies cultivation. From time to time, he glanced at Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan with a calm look. According to him and his men, they did not embezzle or take bribes. Last year's collection of things into the warehouse and this year's plan were seriously done. Xiao Bao and Cuckoo would not convict them even if they saw the bad things. They might even help to supplement this year's spring plowing plan.
Sure enough, when Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan saw last year's harvest of potatoes, they looked at each other and shook their heads. Last year, the local harvest was only 200 catties of potatoes, which was too little. Their own family in the northeast had more than 450 catties of potatoes, which was more than double the previous harvest. They did not expect to suddenly produce tens of thousands of catties of potatoes, but at least six to seven hundred catties of potatoes.
After the introduction of the chilies cultivation method, Zhang Xiaobao waved to the county magistrate, Guan Yan. "Come here."
Guan Yan was waiting for the call. He immediately approached and looked at Zhang Xiaobao respectfully.
"Don't plant the potatoes directly this year. First grow the seedlings, and then plant the seedlings. Specifically ask the technical staff." Zhang Xiaobao was not polite to the other side and directly instructed.
"Yes, yes, yes. I will listen to you two." Guan Yan nodded again and again. Listening to Xiao Bao was right.
"Where else is not good?" Guan Yan caught the opportunity and did not let it go.
Zhang Xiaobao looked up at the sky and shook his head for a while. "Not for the time being. I don't know much about the local situation. I will live here for a few days. Let's discuss it later."
Zhang Xiaobao was not the kind of official who ignored reality for face. He did not understand.
"Yes, yes. Thank you for your hard work." Guan Yan said with a smile. He turned around and went to discuss with the technical staff.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan returned to the restaurant with the spring plowing plan. Just as they entered, someone rushed in from outside. When he saw the two of them, he said with a face full of joy, "Little Young Master, Little Miss, good news. It's from Japan. It said that the local people have started to buy things with receipts."
