Time flies and it is past six o'clock in the afternoon.

Seeing that Liu Xing was hungry, after putting the book in his schoolbag, he took Peanuts and Qianqian to Dawei Hotel for dinner.

Tang Tang was also with him, and this was an appointment at noon.

Because Qianqian is going back to Xiangxi to study, she naturally wants to invite Qianqian to have a good meal before leaving.

However, Tang Tang did not plan to go back with her. After she became familiar with the environment of the Zhushen Bamboo Strip Products Workshop with Zhou Yan, she decided to stay and wait until the New Year to return to the crucian carp village.

This made Liu Xing very pleased. After all, Tang Tang was his wife before he was reborn. Although the way he met in this life has changed, he still hopes to continue his relationship and continue the road of the second half of his life.

But what made Liu Xing depressed was that as soon as the meal was served, his father called him and asked him to find him at the entrance of the Chopin Breakfast Restaurant, and he had to go back.

Liu Xing had no choice but to go with Tang Tang Peanut Qianqian, and then left Dawei Hotel to meet his father.

At the entrance of the egg breakfast shop.

My father, Liu Dageng, was smoking. When he saw Liu Xing coming, he quickly threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and then went up to meet him.

"Dad, when did you learn to smoke?" Liu Xing couldn't help asking.

Before he was reborn, my father didn't know how to smoke.

I didn't expect that he would smoke because of his rebirth. This was really unexpected.

"Don't ask if you have a big romance!" Liu Dageng looked at the time: "Long story, our family has approved the homestead for more than a year. Village Chief Chen asked me yesterday. If we don't build red brick houses, the government will take back the homestead. So when I come back, I will remind you that if you have time to find someone to build the red brick house, otherwise I will not have a house to live in when I go back to Qingshi Village."

"No... Dad! You should be responsible for this matter! What's the matter if you leave it to me?" Liu Xing spread his hands and asked back.

"Don't you have time for our family? Your mother and I are very busy, so how can we go back to Qingshi Village to build a red brick house?" Liu Dagen patted Liu Xing's shoulder: "This matter has been decided like this. I have to go back to the brick factory for a meeting. Let's leave first!"

After saying this, Liu Dageng disappeared on the street of the market without waiting for Liu Xing's agreement.

"Is this still my dad?" Liu Xing complained helplessly, but then his eyes lit up.

"Whoever builds a house must use red bricks. This time I don't need red bricks to build it. Dad, you will be shocked!" Liu Xing smiled mysteriously, turned around and walked towards Dawei Hotel.

...

After dinner, Qianqian took Ahu's truck back to Xiangxi.

Although it was a big night, Liu Xing knew that Ah Hu was there and he would definitely be very safe along the way, so he was not worried at all.

I wanted to go to the Zhu Shen Mason Products Workshop as soon as possible to find Zhu Xiuqing to use Nanzhu to build his own house, but who knew that just returned to the Brown Egg Breakfast Shop, Lin Bao brought the second batch of Lin family members who pulled bamboo bees.

Liu Xing had no choice but to pull out bamboo bees for the Lin family.

This busyness was until after 11 o'clock in the evening.

This left Liu Xing speechless.

If it weren't for Lin Yao's money.

He really wanted to drive away these annoyances to the Rao Lin family.

But he complained in his heart, but he couldn't come out in front of the Lin family.

So he still did what he should do. It was inconvenient to find Zhu Xiuqing when he was too late. He went to bed after taking a shower.

Liu Xing got up early the next morning. After taking a bowl of rice noodles with peanuts, he went to the Zhu Shen Bamboo Products Workshop to look for Zhu Xiuqing with a large stack of design drawings.

Because it was still early, the gate of the Zhu Shen Bamboo Products Workshop was empty and there were not many people.

But Zhu Xiuqing came, holding a broom and was cleaning the sanitation.

When Liu Xing saw this scene, he couldn't help but shake his head: "Sister, it's so good!"

"Huh? Why are you so early today?" Zhu Xiuqing smiled in a daze.

"I'll find you to place an order!" Liu Xing sat casually on the chair beside him.

"Okay! How big is this order and how much is it worth?" Zhu Xiuqing became interested when he heard the word "order".

"It's not too big, I'll order to build a new house for my family!" Liu Xing replied.

"Ah?" Zhu Xiuqing frowned.

"Why... I don't accept the order?" Liu Xing couldn't help laughing.

"No, isn't half of the new house built with red bricks? If you build it with Nanzhu, aren't you afraid of being teased?" Zhu Xiuqing said in a row.

"Whoever builds a house must use red bricks? Is it stipulated by the state or you?" Liu Xing asked with his hands spread out.

"Is this here?" Zhu Xiuqing replied awkwardly.

"Will it be done, give it! This is the design drawings of my new house, and the drawings for making pieces!" Liu Xing handed a thick stack of design drawings to Zhu Xiuqing: "There are many newly designed bamboo loose pieces inside, but they are all very simple. I think the craftsmen in the bamboo god bamboo strip factory should be able to make them, so I won't follow the orders. Please keep an eye on the scheduling."

"But this is to build a new house for my family to use Nanzhu, so in terms of paint and handicrafts, you ask these craftsmen to give snacks, especially the production of doors and windows, which must be based on the design on the drawings. Do you understand?" Liu Xing saw Zhu Xiuqing listening carefully, and added another sentence immediately.

"I understand, but how should I talk to the craftsman of the production unit price?" Zhu Xiuqing took the design drawings into his hand, and after taking a random look, he asked about the doubts in his heart.

"First calculate the wages according to the order worker first. When the big order comes in the future, make it according to the piece-based method!" Liu Xing finished speaking, and got up and left.

"Wait, this... there will be a large order to build a new house using Nanzhu?" Zhu Xiuqing was stunned and chased after him.

"If you shouldn't ask, don't ask, just concentrate on doing your own things!" Liu Xing smiled mysteriously at Zhu Xiuqing.

"Can you reveal a little information to me first?" Zhu Xiuqing blinked.

"No." Liu Xing accelerated his pace.

"This guy!" Zhu Xiuqing stomped her feet in anger.

But soon a smile appeared on her pretty face.

Because Liu Xing has a big order, he will definitely not lie to her.

But she was really puzzled where this big order came from.

However, she believed that the answer to this mystery would be revealed soon. After smiling, she walked into the bamboo products workshop to work hard on her.

...

Time flies three times.

After class, Liu Xing did not stay at No. 8 Middle School, but went back to rent a house and made a shrink-written version of the golden bean steamer with Li Hu.

Since it was the first time to produce it, it was inevitable that some technical difficulties would be encountered.

However, these problems are nothing to Liu Xing.

After discussing with Li Hu in detail, they resolved them one by one.

After all, his experience decades after his rebirth was not brought in vain.

Seeing that Li Hu didn't know much about the bamboo steamer process in the shrink-formed golden bean steamer, he picked up the bamboo knife and broke the bamboo strips and started making them.

The production of steamer is very simple for him, the reborn bamboo craftsman.

However, there are a lot of golden bean steamers in this shrink version, reaching 108.

This is completely designed according to the original Zhang family of gold bean steamer, so it cannot be reduced.

Seeing that Liu Xing was very skillful in breaking bamboo shoots, Li Hu couldn't help but be stunned: "My! Your technique is better than the old bamboo craftsmen in our village! It takes a long time to practice to achieve this speed, right?"

"Haha... I have inherited the bamboo god's seven-star broken bamboo technique, so I don't need to practice for long, I just need to understand the key techniques of broken bamboo!" Liu Xing smiled and said, "After you are familiar with the production process, you will be afraid that this shrinking version of the golden bean steamer will be mass-produced in the bamboo god bamboo products workshop in the future."

"Mass production?" Li Hu grabbed his head in confusion.

"I'll explain the inside story to you in detail if I have time. In short, the shrink-formed gold bean steamer produced by our Zhushen Bamboo Products Workshop will be spread all over the country in the form of a chain store. Making a shrink-formed gold bean steamer will be the unique skill of our Zhushen Bamboo Products Workshop!" Liu Xing put down the bamboo knife in his hand and explained: "At that time, you will no longer have to worry about having no work."

"It's good!" Li Hu smiled happily.

"Don't tell other craftsmen about this matter, even Sister Xiuqing should not disclose it for the time being, do you understand?" Liu Xing reminded.

Once leaked, I'm afraid there will be trouble.

Li Hu is not a big mouth, so it doesn't matter.

Of course, the most important point is that Li Hu is now involved in the production of the reduced-version golden bean steamer. If you want to hide it, you can't hide it. So it's better to reveal some information to let Li Hu make the reduced-version golden bean steamer with peace of mind.

"By the way, when will your wife and mother come to the market?" Liu Xing asked casually.

"The farm work at home is not finished yet! You don't know that the public grain I paid for was beaten back. My wife cried at home for a while before she recovered. This time she was probably drying rice on the gravel drying ground!" Li Hu replied with a silly smile.

"That's it!" Liu Xing smiled, and after looking at the time, he focused on making a steamer.

Before 2005, farmers with land in rural areas had to pay public grain, that is, agricultural tax.

The more fields the farmers pay more agricultural taxes.

Due to the huge base of farmers, this has created an iron-based job of collecting public grain.

Before 2005, there were at least nearly 500,000 "civil servants" in the country who collected agricultural taxes.

Most of these civil servants were born to farmers and knew the sufferings of farmers. Therefore, when collecting public grain, as long as the quality is reasonable, there will basically be nothing more.

However, some places where civil servants who collect public grain are somewhat unethical and make things difficult for farmers everywhere. They also deliberately tamper with the scales called public grain to achieve the purpose of filling their own pockets.

However, there are still very few civil servants like this, and only one or two people appear in a province or city.

With the state abolishing the agricultural tax on all farmers in 2005, the good days of these civil servants who collect public grain have come to an end.

Because there is no agricultural tax to collect, what else does the country need them?
