Seeing that all the villagers were here, Chen Lizheng said quickly: "Okay, everyone is here, let's not talk about it first. Let's listen to what Youyi's wife has to say first. If you have any questions, we can ask you later."

After Chen Lizheng finished speaking, he looked at Bai Taotao.

Baitaotao told everyone about the proposal of selling winter bamboo shoots.

The questions of the villagers were the same as those of Chen Wei just now, and Bai Taotao's explanation was still the same.

How can the folks disagree with this?

"Youyi's wife said it, and I believe her, so I think this matter is feasible."

"Well, I think it's feasible too."

“Instead of waiting for the spring to grow and cutting it down, it’s better to dig some out and sell them at this time to make some money. This way, there will be no waste. After spring, there is no need to waste time going into the bamboo forest to cut moso bamboo.”

"That's right, that's right."

Everyone nodded, indicating that it was feasible.

Bai Taotao waited for a while to make sure that there were no doubts, and then slowly said: "Okay, since everyone has no objections, I will talk to shopkeeper Qin tomorrow. When it is confirmed, I will inform everyone to prepare the hoe. I go into the bamboo forest to dig bamboo shoots. In addition, if we are talking about business, we must prepare some winter bamboo shoots. Then I want to make a dish for people to taste and know how delicious it is. This way we will have an advantage when negotiating the price."

"This is natural. You can just decide what you want to do as a wife with Yi. Digging some bamboo shoots is not a big deal."

"Let Youyi go directly to the bamboo forest and dig as many rows as you want, just don't hollow out the bamboo forest, hahaha..."

Bai Taotao: "Sure, then this matter is settled. There is nothing else."

After the show, Bai Taotao went to the bamboo forest with a hoe. Chen Youyi came back at dawn and asked him to rest at home while she dug a few roots and came back.

Although she is not very good at farming, she is still good at finding bamboo shoots.

What's more, in a bamboo forest that has never been dug before, you can dig out seven or eight large winter bamboo shoots just by looking for a crack, and there are even more than a dozen bamboo shoots.

December is a good time to eat winter bamboo shoots, and it’s also a good time to dig them.

If it weren't for the fact that this bamboo forest belonged to the entire village, Bai Taotao might have become addicted to digging.

The main reason is that there are too many winter bamboo shoots, and the more you dig, the easier it is to get them.

Bai Taotao dug half of the basket and came back.

At noon, she could make some winter bamboo shoots and stir-fry bacon.

Fresh winter bamboo shoots are paired with smoked and fragrant bacon, stir-fried with red pepper, and a handful of garlic sprouts are added before serving, which is fragrant.

This kind of peasant dish is the best to go with rice.

Bai Taotao had a large bowl of rice and a large bowl of chicken soup for lunch.

Fortunately, with Lingquan in hand, she has been pregnant and confinement, and now has a good appetite for breastfeeding, and Bai Taotao is not fat.

Otherwise she would have to worry about losing weight in the future.

The next day was already the 21st of the twelfth lunar month. Shopkeeper Qin wanted to come over and give Baitaotao some New Year gifts, so he came over to pick up the goods in person.

Firstly, they are partners, and secondly, the other party is still the general's wife.

So it's reasonable for him to come and give her a New Year's gift.

After breakfast early in the morning, shopkeeper Qin came over with a team of sellers.

The team went directly to the workshop, and shopkeeper Qin brought the New Year gifts to Baitaotao's adobe house.

As soon as he saw Bai Taotao, shopkeeper Qin saluted Bai Taotao and said, "Someone from Qin has met Mrs. Chen." Bai Taotao heard this and said with a smile, "shopkeeper Qin, we don't want to be so particular. We are business partners. , as it was before, so it is still the same now. What’s more, this is still in the countryside. "

Shopkeeper Qin nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, yes." Then he reached out to take the tea handed over by Aunt Jin, "I came here this time. Seeing that the Chinese New Year was about to come, Mr. Qin had nothing to prepare, so he just bought some gifts. , I hope Mrs. Chen won’t dislike it.”

"Shopkeeper Qin is out of touch when he says this. You can come all the way and still want to give me a New Year's gift. I'm so happy that it's too late. How can I dislike it? Today at noon, shopkeeper Qin has to stay for a light meal no matter what. Let’s go again.”

Shopkeeper Qin quickly waved his hand: "No, no, we have to hurry back. Some goods need to be sent to Beijing as soon as possible, otherwise there will be seasonings waiting for urgent use during the Chinese New Year."

"It's okay. Grandma Tan is cooking at home today. I just asked Grandma Tan to start the meal early. No matter how urgent it is, I won't rush for this moment."

As she said this, Nanny Tan immediately understood. She entered the kitchen and quickly prepared lunch.

Shopkeeper Qin saw that Bai Taotao had said this, so he didn't shirk anymore, "Why didn't you see General Chen?"

Bai Taotao replied: "She happened to be out on something today."

……

Before lunch started, Bai Taotao and shopkeeper Qin chatted with each other.

But there was no mention of winter bamboo shoots.

But after a while, the smell of bacon wafted from the kitchen.

At noon, Baitaotao asked Grandma Tan to arrange a dish of fried bacon with winter bamboo shoots and pork ribs soup with winter bamboo shoots. There was also a main dish, which was braised winter bamboo shoots in oil, plus a stir-fried vegetable cabbage and a cucumber.

Although there were only a few people eating, because we wanted to promote winter bamboo shoots, three dishes were taken up by winter bamboo shoots.

After a while, five dishes were neatly placed on the table.

Because Chen Youyi was not at home today, Bai Taotao called her uncle and Chen Lizheng to come over and accompany shopkeeper Qin.

After the three of them arrived at the table, they looked at the dishes on the table. Even Shopkeeper Qin, who had eaten a lot of delicious food, couldn't help but salivate.

Not to mention Chen Defu and Chen Lizheng.

Of course, at this time, Shopkeeper Qin finally understood that today's meal was not about the wine or the food, but the food.

Bai Taotao poured a cup of hot wine for the three of them, and then raised her hand to signal: "Today, I asked Granny Tan to cook some home-cooked dishes. Shopkeeper Qin will try it and see how it tastes. You eat first, and I'll go see it." look after baby."

With that said, Bai Taotao went to his room, leaving Chen Defu and Chen Li in the main room drinking and dining with shopkeeper Qin.

The three of them were drinking and eating in the main room, chatting about various household matters, but they didn't mention the dishes on the table.

First, Bai Taotao told Li Zheng and her uncle not to take the initiative to sell winter bamboo shoots. She had her own plan.

Secondly, shopkeeper Qin thought that Chen Defu and Chen Lizheng didn't know, so he didn't ask. He just wanted to ask Bai Taotao directly later.

In order to know early what the dishes eaten today were made from, shopkeeper Qin did not chat with them for too long. After finishing a simple meal, he quickly called Baitaotao.

"The dishes Mrs. Chen arranged today are very delicious, but Qin is curious about what these fresh and tender dishes are."

Although shopkeeper Qin has never eaten it before, he doesn't doubt anything. After all, just because he hasn't eaten it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Bai Taotao waited for Shopkeeper Qin to take the initiative to ask, so she said: "Oh, these are winter bamboo shoots. There is a large bamboo forest in the back hill of our Shihe Village. I had nothing to do at home yesterday, so I dug some out. Shopkeeper Qin, it’s just a coincidence that you came here at a good time and just happened to eat these fresh winter bamboo shoots.”

Shopkeeper Qin was stunned when he heard this. He knew that he had just misunderstood Bai Taotao, so he asked with a smile: "This is the first time Mr. Qin has heard of winter bamboo shoots. Didn't he say that the bamboo shoots were hard? But the one he ate today was not like that at all. It's the same thing. I wonder how many winter bamboo shoots Mrs. Chen has?"
