Rebirth of India: Superior

Shakru suddenly seemed to have thought of something terrible and asked: "By the way, Wajda, wouldn't our family also use this kind of cow dung cake to make fires?"

Vaida quickly replied: "Master, no."

"That's not horse manure, pig manure or anything like that, right?" Shakru asked worriedly.

Vajda explained in a dumbfounded way: "Master, don't worry, all we use at home are branches and thatch." But in his heart, he complained that only cow dung and horse dung can be dried for fuel, and the dung of other animals can be used as fuel. It can't be burned even if I want to use it. (Since cows and horses are vegetarian animals, their excrement can be used as fuel after drying, and the rest can only be used to fertilize the land.)

Bypassing the cow dung wall, Shakru walked into a farmer's house. There was an open space at the door of this house, and there were two strange-looking earthbags. The only difference was that one had a hole and the other had two holes. Crewe pointed and asked curiously: "Vajda, what is this?"

"Oh, Master, this is an earth stove, made of mud. It is used for cooking when it doesn't rain." Wajda explained.

Shakru was still a little puzzled: "Then why do you have to cook on the stove outside instead of in the kitchen?"

"Because the smoke after burning cow dung cakes is very large, it is inconvenient to exhaust the smoke in the house, so when it doesn't rain, the stove is set up outside." In fact, there is another thing that Wajda doesn't know is that due to the local The geological soil is sedimentary soil. After this kind of soil is mixed with water and dried, it will become very hard. Local farmers have mastered this characteristic and used it to build stoves outdoors.

"What about the rainy season?"

"Of course we have to stay in the kitchen during the rainy season!" Vajda replied as he led Shakru to a small house nearby. This was a kitchen and firewood room, with dry cow dung cakes stacked in half and half in the other half. There was a double-burner stove built in the corner. It seemed that it had been used a lot, because the entire back wall was blackened.

At this point, Shakru had no interest in private houses, so he said: "Vajda, take me to where everyone works."

Since the weather is very good today, most of the villagers are busy drying their grains, and some are raising their fields. But what made Shaklu collapse was that they actually used their toes to dry the rice, not even a scraper. Not to mention the windmill. In addition to the wind power for rough classification in the beginning, the screening during drying and bagging is done manually. Three people formed a circle, each holding a square mat-like thing in each hand, and started from the center. Fan outward at the same time, ah! It's an artificial ceiling fan, so it's considered a bit of a brainstorm. Use the principle of a ceiling fan to blow away debris. But it’s so tiring! This production method that relies entirely on hands and feet without tools is really too backward and primitive! No wonder it occupies such a good place with three crops a year, but the grain output is still so low!

Although Shakru is the new owner, it is obvious that the two beautiful bodyguards Kabaeva and Sharapova pay much more attention than him. Not only the men stared blankly, but also the women They all kept looking at each other secretly, which made Kabaeva, who was already somewhat introverted, shyly approach Shaklu and whispered: "Boss, why do these people look at people so straightly? "

Shaklu smiled and said: "Because they have never seen such a beautiful Soviet beauty, don't be shy, be generous!"

Although Vajda couldn't understand what Kabaeva was talking about, he could roughly guess it, so he shouted loudly: "What are you looking at? Get to work quickly!"

While Shakru was wandering around, a valet from a distant house ran over quickly and reported: "Master, Mr. Boman from the next village has come to visit you. He will be here in half an hour!"

When Shakru heard that it was a neighbor who had come, and it was Boman who was the witness to him and Harik yesterday, he naturally had to go back to greet him, so he quickly took Kabaeva, Sharapova and housekeeper Vai Da rushed back.

Shortly after arriving home, Boman and his party arrived. What surprised Shaklu was that Boman actually brought two little girls over, but they didn't look like his daughters in terms of appearance or dress. I have never heard of a visitor bringing a maid with him. Is it possible that he plans to stay here?

Although he was very curious in his heart, on the surface Shakru still greeted him very warmly: "Mr. Boman, welcome!"

Boman also returned the greeting: "Mr. Pandit, you are a wealthy man from a big city like Delhi. I don't want to get too close to you to gain more knowledge!" Then he stretched out his hand and pointed back: "This is what I want to give you. Please accept the gift you brought.”

Shakru followed his finger and looked back, and was a little surprised because he didn't see anything. Seeing Shakru's appearance, Boman asked with some confusion: "What's wrong, Mr. Pandit, are you not satisfied with my gift?"

Shakru said with some embarrassment: "It's not that I'm not satisfied, but I didn't see where your gift is." He was really embarrassed at this time, because according to Indian customs, when someone gives you something, not only do you You have to accept it and praise it, otherwise it will be disrespectful to others.

Boman glanced at Shakru very strangely, then walked back a few steps, patted a little girl on the shoulder and said, "My gift is the two of them! I heard that Harik took away two The maids who are related to him, so I specially selected two smart and well-behaved maids at home to give to you, don’t you like it?”

"Ah?! These are the two you want to give to me..." To be honest, although Shaklu knew that landlords gave servants to each other, this was the first time he encountered it, so I didn't react just now, but now that I know it, I naturally can't refuse, otherwise it would be too disrespectful. So Shaklu said with a smile: "Haha, I'm sorry, because this is the first time someone has given me a servant, so I didn't react at the moment. Speaking of which, your delivery was really timely. Mr. Harrick took away two people. , so now no one is doing any work at home, um, Kabaeva, take the two girls to the back house."

ps: I stopped breathing, it’s so cold! This time of year and the half month before the heating is on are the most difficult days. What’s even more miserable is that it’s cloudy today with no sunshine at all. My hands are freezing even when I’m typing in the office. If you have friends from the Northeast, you should be able to understand what I’m feeling right now. This feeling...Mobile phone users please visit http://m.piaotia.net
