Pinellia pastoral

Chapter 122 Snails
Ban Xia already had such an idea in her heart, and looking at what Da Fang did, she felt more and more that her guess was right.

Once the original mess is sorted out, all kinds of small things can be buckled up one by one. She thinks this possibility is too great.

For example, Wu Mei has already settled down, and Su Qian has been looking at the marriages of other granddaughters, but when Ban Xia pays attention, she finds that they are all Shuiping's. Could it be possible to pass Yuzhu?And Lin didn't say anything else.For example, Yuzhu often goes to Wumei's place to please her. Is it possible that Wumei can only let her marry her instead of her when something really happens?
Wait, why did Yu Zhu think that she could marry her as a substitute? Isn't Wu Mei still fine now?

Thinking of this, a chill rose from his back.

Ban Xia can hardly believe that Wu Mei is fine now, and after the autumn harvest, it will only be a few months. She is not too young, and she doesn't need to wait much longer to get married, and Da Fang is so sure... …

Is this going to attack Wu Mei?

No matter how noisy the family was, Ban Xia felt that they were just being mean and selfish. Could it be that this is the case today?Even if they weren't biological brothers, even if they separated their own family at that time, they wouldn't have reached the point of killing each other. How much she hoped that she was wrong.

Ban Xia is not a person who likes to be entangled. When she thinks of such a danger, she can't sit idly by, and there is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days. This feeling of being spied on in the dark and ready to strike at any time is like being in a certain place There is a poisonous snake hidden in this place, and it will take a bite whenever there is an opportunity, which makes people feel hairy.

How to do?This is the second question Ban Xia thinks about, tell Su Youli?Can he accept it? Besides, these are all her guesses.

What if there is a fuss now?Don't say that Mrs. Sun is not a person who can make trouble, and Su Youyi lives his life carelessly. Even if he really makes trouble, so what?Thinking about those lessons from the past, Mrs. Su Qian would naturally yell, and Mrs. Zhou might bite back, and then... Let it go.

Ban Xia still shook her head and ruled out this method.

Finally, she walked into the second room's room.

When I came out again, I breathed a sigh of relief.

No one is a fool, Wu Mei has figured it out a lot since the last incident, and Mint is also smart, it doesn't matter if Lin and Zhou are at home, and Mint will follow when they go out, just be wary.

It's not a problem that can be solved in a day or two, not to mention that Wu Mei didn't go anywhere, and she rarely went out, at most she went out to wash clothes, the risk was greatly reduced, so pay more attention, I'm afraid nothing will happen question.

Moreover, since what Yuzhu thinks is that if she gets married instead, Wu Mei won't be killed, otherwise, if someone dies, Wu Liangping's temper will not be willing to give in, so... let Wu Mei marry her. Did something happen, or did Wu Mei feel guilty and marry her together?

What a mess!

Letting go of the stone in her heart, Ban Xia forgets about her family affairs again.

After the house was built, Su Youli went to other people's houses to help, and after the house was built and left for a while, Yuan Guang and Yuan Chen moved in, with two beds next to each other, a table and bench beside them, and two other people. A big box, as for the others can only be added slowly.

But compared to the original conditions, it has been much better. Yuan Guang is very contented. A few months ago, he didn't even dare to think that he could have his own house, go to school, and live a life like this at home, but Didn't all of this come true slowly?

Now Yuan Chen is more lively than before, Yuan Guang still wants to wait for a while before going to school with Yuan Chen.

Ban Xia is thinking, now the family does not have a lot of money, and they are doing small things, that is, bean sprouts and fried tofu, and some people in the bean sprouts town have started to sell them. It is not a unique business, and the money is not much.At that time, it was also because of the limited conditions. Now that I have my own yard and house, it is time to make bean curd sticks.

This is different from bean sprouts. Both bean sprouts and fried tofu cannot be kept, but bean curd sticks are made in batches and can be sold far away without any problem.In other words, this can be developed as a long-term thing, not just to earn some pocket money.If real bean curd sticks are made, it can be turned into a workshop or even bigger in the future, and the family also needs to have a source of income that can last for a long time.

Thinking of another way to make money, Banxia felt relieved, moved a small stool, and picked soybeans there alone.

"Sister, look!" Yuan Chen came in, trembling slightly with a wooden basin on her thin arm, while staggering, some water was splashed out, and two fish were thrown out, Yuan Chen stretched out Use your small hand to pinch it back.

Pinellia took a look into the wooden basin, and saw a group of small fishes no bigger than the size of a little finger swimming happily in it, and there were a few snails beside the wooden basin, lying on the wooden board and moving slowly.

"Snail!" Banxia exclaimed, what a good thing!

Yuan Chen's eyes are shining, recently he always goes out with Yuan Guang, busy around, and occasionally goes to the shed where Yuan Guang used to live, Ban Xia is also very relieved seeing this, did not expect to catch fish, this half Things that big and small children often do, such as having fun in mountains and rivers, used to be a luxury for Yuan Guang.

Seeing that Ban Xia was a little dazed, Yuan Chen said, "Sister, this is the fish that I caught in the fish basket made by brother."

"Fish basket?" Can the fish basket also catch fish?

"Did you forget that at that time you didn't mean to weave a basket with a big belly out of bamboo strips, and then weave a few entrances that gradually narrowed, so that the fish would not be able to get out. Earthworms, didn’t you just catch so many fish, and you’ll have another dish at home in the future!” Yuan Guang felt a sense of accomplishment.

Hearing what he said, Ban Xia couldn't remember exactly when he said such a thing, but these two had edited together with Su Youli before, so it's not surprising that they were able to make such a fish basket.

"Okay, let me show you at noon!" Ban Xia said, "This fish is baked into dried fish and stir-fried with chili peppers. I'm sure you can eat two more bowls of rice and grow more meat."

After saying this, Ban Xia pinched Yuan Chen's cheek, and he didn't hide, just curled his neck and smiled.

"Sister, what do you want to eat?" Gu Ya'er seemed to hear this from outside, and rushed in.

"When it comes to food, you are the one! You are not afraid of being fooled by food!" Ban Xia laughed a little, but seeing Gu Ya'er's big eyes flickering, her heart almost melted into a puddle of water,

Gu Ya'er pouted and shook her head violently, "No, I didn't even eat the peanuts my grandfather gave me yesterday."

In this way, there is nothing to say about Ban Xia, Mr. Su has always been kind to Gu Ya'er, but this little guy also has his own concerns in his heart.Now that they have alienated a lot from that place, it wasn't their intention. Mr. Su must feel uncomfortable, but there is no way to do it.

There is no need to kill such a small fish, Ban Xia pointed at the snail, "Are there many of these? This is easier than catching fish, and it is also delicious!"

"This is not tasty, and it doesn't have much meat. Yuan Chen brought it in specially after looking at it." Yuan Guang looked blank.

Ban Xia thought for a while, "Do you eat a lot of this?"

"Yes, but the mud has been vomited for several days, and it needs to be cooked, and then the meat is picked out bit by bit. Who has that kind of work!"

So that's the case, Ban Xia blinked, "Now the snails are fatter than geese! It won't be edible after a while, you go and get some back, I'll make it for you!"

Fried escargot or something, don't be too delicious!My mouth is watering just thinking about this pinellia.

For lunch, Pinellia really cooked a fish. The small fish was deep-fried, then stir-fried with ginger and chili peppers. Several people ate it while breathing.

Li's face was gratified, "The head of this fish is scraped off by the rice pot, and I really want to eat more of this in the future."

Su Youli laughed at the side, "This is good wine. I'll go to San Ge's place for a drink tomorrow. I'll make a pot of Pinellia and bring it over. I'm sure they haven't eaten it!"

Because when the pigsty was built, other people came to help, and after being busy with his own, Su Youli would also go to other people's houses to help, and the few men who came and went got to know each other well, and often took advantage of the rainy days to get together to eat little wine.

This is going out and talking a lot, knowing more things, and naturally broadening his horizons. Seeing that Su Youli speaks in a much more orderly manner now, he is no longer as often silent as before, and Ban Xia naturally supports him.

"Father, it's up to me, it's just that Brother and Yuanchen caught this fish, and we have to rely on them, otherwise a clever woman can't cook without rice. Then I'll fry another peanut for you, and wait for them to bring back the snails in a few days." , and a good dish to go with wine!" When it comes to food, Ban Xia is also in high spirits.

Li said angrily, "Don't do this! You won't remember who you are after drinking!"

But no one took Li Shi's words to heart.

Yuan Guang really took Yuan Chen out to touch the snails.

When I got home, Pinellia threw ginger into the tub to make it spit mud.

On this side, the selected soybeans are ground into a pulp, and the bean curd sticks are pulled while cooking, but it is not so smooth. There is no problem with the pulp at the beginning, that is, it can be pumped once, put on the chopsticks, and pulled again after the second time. When the layer of tofu skin is on, it is almost boiled dry, and it is impossible to remove the fire. In addition, the bean curd stick is a large piece, and Pinellia almost burns your hands.

She calculated the cost of soybeans and labor, and there was no way to sell this bean curd stick... if it went on like this.

But there is no rush, she decided to make the snails first.

Yuan Guang and Yuan Chen seem to be used to running outside. The snails they catch every day are kept separately in wooden basins with water. In addition, they have made several fish baskets, and they are always busy going out.

After a few days of spitting out the snail mud, she found a stone of suitable size, broke off the pointed end, and threw it into the basin.

After a while, there was a fishy smell on his hands, and his waist was a little sore.

It's really not easy to eat something, the conditions are limited, yes, I have to go and see if there is perilla outside.

Just thinking about it, I heard the sound of footsteps.

Half of Yuan Chen's body was covered with water, she stared blankly at her eyes, and when she saw Ban Xia, she hurriedly called out, "Sister, quickly—"
