After dressing as a farmer's wife, I was spoiled

Chapter 49

Therefore, the man complied with Xu Banxia's request. "Wait here, girl, I'll let someone fetch the pen and paper."

Xu Banxia simply responded.

The man called the waiter in the shop and told him to fetch a pen and paper.

Soon, the pen and paper were brought, and the man handed it to Xu Banxia.

Ban Xia took the pen and paper, sat down at the stone table beside her, pondered for a while, and then started to write, and began to write eloquently.

The man stood aside and waited quietly, Liu Dashan leaned over to take a look, only to see that Xu Banxia wrote with spirit, and the writing was strong and powerful.

After about a stick of incense passed, Xu Banxia wrote three recipes.

She stood up and handed it to the man. "The shopkeeper, why don't you take a look?"

The man took it, held it in his hand and looked at it carefully.

After reading it, the man's eyes burst into surprise. This recipe is written in great detail, and every step is very detailed. As long as you can read, you can understand it at a glance. "Girl, I bought your recipe."

"Yes." Xu Banxia answered very simply, without any hesitation. "I just don't know how much money the shopkeeper is willing to pay for my recipe."

"50 taels, what does the girl think?"

Xu Banxia did not agree either. "The shopkeeper should know that if these three dishes are served on the table, you can earn more than 50 taels."

Hearing this, the man was slightly taken aback. "The girl seems very confident in her three recipes."

"Didn't the shopkeeper be very surprised when he saw this recipe? I must have known it in his heart." She had seen the shopkeeper's expression just now.

The man smiled heartily. "The girl has observed people."

"Don't dare to take it." Xu Banxia said modestly.

"How about this, 50 taels is the deposit. If the girl's three recipes can make me earn a lot of money, I will give the girl another 50 taels. In order to reassure the girl, let's make a note and write it down in black and white. Charge." The man thought of a way and said slowly.

Xu Banxia had no objection after hearing this. "Yes, but at least the shopkeeper will give you a deadline, right? You can't make me wait too long."

"For one month, does the girl have confidence in her recipes?" He was really looking forward to seeing the guests' love for the dishes on the recipes when they were served on the table.

"Of course there are." In fact, she felt that a month was too long, but half a month was about the same.

But it's not easy for her to talk too much, so as not to slap her face when she gets it.

"Then let's make an agreement. I'll draw up a document right now. The girl will wait here first."

Xu Banxia responded, and the man went in.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the man came out with two pieces of paper.

He handed the paper to Xu Banxia. "Girl, check if there are any problems. If there is something to be revised, I will make two more copies."

Xu Banxia took a rough look, raised his eyes and said, "No problem, that's it."

Then the two sides drew a bet and each held a copy.

Xu Banxia looked at the name on the paper and wanted to laugh, but she held back.

"Since we have a deal, let me introduce myself first. My surname is Liu, and the name is mang."

Xu Banxia read it in her heart: Liu Mang.

rogue? ?
Thinking of this, Xu Banxia almost couldn't help laughing.

This name is really... very unique.

It's a pity that such a good Mr. Pianpian is called a "rogue". It's such a pity.

"Shopkeeper Liu, my surname is Xu, and my first name is Banxia. Shopkeeper Liu, don't call me a girl, just call me Banxia."

"Miss Banxia, ​​I hope we can cooperate happily." Liu Mang nodded slightly, with a smile on his lips.

"Happy cooperation, shopkeeper Liu." Xu Banxia also smiled back.

Liu Mang ordered someone to send 150 taels of silver to Xu Banxia.

Xu Banxia, ​​who got the silver, was very happy, but Liu Dashan, who watched the whole process, was shocked.

Pinellia is also too powerful, just three recipes earned 150 taels!

This speed... is really the fastest money-making speed he has ever seen in his life!
After leaving Hongyun Restaurant, Xu Banxia and Liu Dashan went to the market.

It was the first time I came to the county, so I had to go shopping anyway, Xu Banxia planned to buy some gifts for Qin and Liu Wenxiu to take back.

Also buy something for Wei Shi, after all, she likes this stepmother very much.

It's not at all like those vicious stepmothers who tortured people harshly.

Xu Banxia bought rice noodles, pulled a few pieces of cloth, bought a box of pastries, and bought a jug of wine.

I went to the vegetable market and bought two fish, a lot of seasonings, and other things.

After buying what they needed, Xu Banxia and Liu Dashan went to eat a bowl of chaos, and then drove the ox cart back to Taohua Village.

On the way back, Liu Dashan drove the ox cart a little slowly.

After all, there are a lot of things on the bullock cart. If one of them accidentally overturns, it will be over.

After three hours, Xu Banxia and the others returned to Taohua Village.

The sun had already set, and those who were working in the fields were almost ready to go home.

There were always a few people to be seen on the road. When the villagers saw a lot of things on the bullock cart driven by Xu Banxia and Liu Dashan, they couldn't help but take a few more glances.

There were also a few curious ones who couldn't help asking Xu Banxia. "Ban Xia, what's on your bullock cart?"

"It's nothing, just some food." Xu Banxia didn't want to say more.

The person who asked was shocked when he heard this.

The ox cart was almost full, where did the big house of the Liu family get so much food?
Just when that person wanted to ask, Xu Banxia and the others had already driven the bullock cart away.

Along the way, many people saw the things on the bullock cart, and everyone talked about it.

Xu Banxia turned a deaf ear to those people's comments, and returned home in a good mood.

Liu Wenxiu was sitting in the yard reading a book. When he heard the movement outside the door, he put down his book and rushed to the door like the wind and opened it.

Seeing that Xu Banxia and Liu Dashan had returned, Liu Wenxiu tilted his head and shouted happily, "Mother, father and Xia Xia are back."

Qin Shi heard the voice and came out of the house.

Liu Wenxiu looked at the ox cart full of things behind Xu Banxia, ​​and opened his mouth wide in shock.

"Xia Xia, you bought so many things!"

Qin Shi walked to the door at this time, and when she heard Liu Wenxiu's words, she raised her eyes to look at the ox cart, and the cart was indeed full.

"Banxia, ​​Dashan, did you encounter any danger along the way?" The Qin family was most worried about the safety of Xu Banxia and Liu Dashan.

Liu Dashan got off the bullock cart. "Xu Niang, don't worry, our journey has been smooth and we haven't encountered any danger. No, Ban Xia and I have returned safely."

Qin was relieved when she heard them say it was all right. "It's fine."

Then, both Qin Shi and Liu Wenxiu helped unload the things from the bullock cart and moved them into the house.

After unloading the things, Qin couldn't help sighing: "Ban Xia, why do you buy so many things?"

"I don't need to make money, should I keep it?" Xu Banxia walked to Qin's side and handed Qin a piece of cloth. "Mom, I bought this for you. The color is not too bright but it looks good. Do you like it?"

Qin Shi looked at the apricot-colored cloth and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Ban Xia, since you've made money, save it well. You...you bought two sets of new clothes for your mother before. How long ago did you buy another piece of cloth for your mother?"

"The previous one was a ready-made garment. This one is made of cloth. It's different. You can make whatever style you like."

For her family, she has always been willing.

"I also bought it for Wenxiu and Dad, and I have to work hard to make clothes for Dad and Wenxiu." After speaking, Xu Banxia took the other two colors of cloth and handed them to Qin.

"What's so hard about it? My mother just doesn't have anything to do recently. She can make clothes and try to make them as soon as possible."

"Mother, don't work too hard, take your time." Xu Banxia advised Qin Shi.

Qin nodded. "Well, mother knows."

Xu Banxia told Qin Shi about buying something for Wei Shi.

Qin didn't say anything after hearing this. After all, it is necessary to be filial to the elders, and Banxia earned the money herself. It is her own business to buy something for whomever she wants.

Xu Banxia took the things and went to the second room next door.

When the people in the second room saw what Xu Banxia was holding in his hand, they were so shocked that they forgot to speak.

It was Wei Shi who came back to his senses first, and spoke kindly. "Since Pinellia is here, why not stay and have a meal, the meal will be ready soon."

Xu Banxia put the things on the table and refused with a smile. "Grandma, I won't eat the rice. I went to the county with my father today and bought some things. These rice noodles and cloth are to honor grandma."

Mrs. Li took a look. There were three pieces of cloth and about five or six catties of rice noodles.

Where did Pinellia get so much money to buy so many things?

Wei Shi casually glanced at the things on the table, feeling the same doubts as Li Shi.

"Ban Xia, where did you get the money to buy things? Why did you buy so many things? It must have cost you a lot of money."

"I earned the money by selling three recipes." Then, Xu Banxia took out a box. "The pastries in this box are specially bought for milk."

Wei Shi did not open the box, but looked at Xu Banxia. "Ban Xia has a heart."

Then, Xu Banxia handed Liu Wenyan two bunches of candied haws. "This is for Wen Yan."

Liu Wenyan's eyes lit up immediately, extremely excited and surprised. "Thank you Ban Xia!"

"As long as you like it."

Xu Banxia didn't stay long, got up and left, before leaving, she said: "Grandma, second uncle and second aunt, don't cook tomorrow morning, I bought something today, come to my house tomorrow, I will cook for you For dinner, our family just got together."

Before Li Shi could say anything, Wei Shi opened his mouth and refused. "Ban Xia sent so many things today, we don't have the nerve to go to eat, or we can't go there."

Xu Banxia pretended to be unhappy and said: "Grandma, I am sad when you say this. Although we have separated, we are still the Liu family. It is okay to get together occasionally."

Wei shi sighed, and finally said: "Ban Xia has said so, if I don't go, Ban Xia will be sad, if this is the case, then I will come over for dinner tomorrow."

Xu Banxia put on a smiling face. "Ban Xia prepares a meal and waits for the milk to come to eat. I guarantee that the milk will not regret it!"

Wei Shi was amused. "Okay, okay, I will definitely come over tomorrow to taste the craftsmanship of Pinellia."

Xu Banxia hummed, which was a response, and then left Erfang's house.

After returning, Qin Shi had already prepared meals.

At the dinner table, Xu Banxia and Qin Shi talked about asking Wei Shi and the others to come over for dinner and get together tomorrow morning.

After hearing this, Liu Dashan and Qin Shi didn't think there was anything wrong.

After dinner, Xu Banxia took out two bunches of candied haws and gave Liu Wenxiu a small surprise.

Liu Wenxiu saw two strings of red things one by one, but didn't know what they were, and asked suspiciously: "Xia Xia, is this red thing edible? What is it? I haven't seen it before."

Xu Banxia was a little surprised by Liu Wenxiu's words.

But after thinking about it, I don't think it's a problem.

After all, Liu Wenxiu hadn't been to the market much, so he didn't know that this thing was called candied haws.

Xu Banxia handed the candied haws to Liu Wenxiu. "This is candied haws. Wenxiu can take it and eat it. It's sweet and sour. It's delicious."

Liu Wenxiu only took a bunch. "It's enough for me to eat one skewer, and Xia Xia will eat the other."

"I don't want to eat, this is specially bought for you." Xu Banxia handed it forward.

However, Liu Wenxiu didn't intend to reach out to take it. "Xia Xia eats too, let's eat together."

"Okay, let's eat together." Xu Banxia didn't force Liu Wenxiu, picked up the candied haws in his hand and bit one.

Seeing this, Liu Wenxiu bit one too.

The next day was bright, and it began to rain heavily.

When the rain stopped, Xu Banxia also got up.

There was still a pheasant that was hunted up the mountain before, and Xu Banxia asked Liu Dashan to take it for disposal.

Qin's was busy steaming steamed buns and cooking porridge.

Xu Banxia slaughtered one of the fish he bought yesterday, and planned to make a pickled fish.

After Liu Dashan finished processing the pheasant, Xu Banxia stewed wild ginger and chicken together.

After the chicken was stewed, Xu Banxia heard Liu Dahe's voice from outside.

As soon as Mrs. Li entered the yard, she walked towards the kitchen. Before she entered the kitchen, she smelled the aroma of rice wafting from the kitchen.

"Ban Xia, what do you cook that smells so delicious? It makes me drool."

"Sauerkraut fish, and wild ginger stewed pheasant." Xu Banxia replied while busy.

Mrs. Li rolled up her sleeves, intending to help. "May I help you? Is there any need for auntie's help?"

"No, it's enough to have me and my mother here, Second Aunt can go out and talk with grandma, the food will be ready soon." Xu Banxia rejected Li Shi who was going to help.

Hearing this, Mrs. Li did not leave either. "How can I do that? You can't just sit and wait to eat ready-made ones, can you? And my mother is accompanied by Wenxiu and Wenyan, so Ban Xia will let me make a move."

Helpless, Xu Banxia had no choice but to ask Li Shi to help Qin Shi see the fire.

Mrs. Li was also very happy, talking and laughing with Mrs. Qin while watching the fire.

After frying two vegetarian dishes, Xu Banxia made a cold wild vegetable and an egg custard.

After everything was ready, Mrs. Li helped Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Banxia put the dishes on the table.
