Pinellia pastoral

Chapter 24 Serve more with one stone

Seeing them stop in surprise, Ban Xia hurried into the kitchen to bring the bowl of cassava over, but saw Lancao mumbling there with her mouth pouted and hands outstretched, "It's okay to eat a piece, um..."

Ban Xia looked very funny, and asked her to take a piece and bring it out whole, "Eat this."

Mrs. Guo took the pheasant and carried it aside, added some salt and water to the large porcelain bowl, and the chicken was about to be killed here, "Don't believe me, I think Pinellia is capable, last time I brought Yuanchen I knew it when I escaped, today my aunt will give you pheasant legs! And this chicken red."

A bowl of fried cassava, white and green, looks pleasing to the eye. They don’t care too much, just grab it and eat it, “I’ve never eaten this before!”

"Xiang, what did you put in?"

They are all grown-ups, and the bowl will soon be empty, but they still look a little unhappy.

Ban Xia stood in the yard and said to them, "Haven't you eaten it? If you eat it, we won't be able to sell it! I think we'll just sell this!"

Mr. Li's eyes flashed, "Sell this? Sell it in the town? But I haven't asked for this thing at the restaurant, I'm afraid it won't buy much, and the price is low..."

Ban Xia shook his head, "Grandpa, you know how much this stuff is. Last time, my brother and I sold it secretly, and we got more than 20 yuan. We were weak, and there was nothing at that time. It is sold now, just like rice noodle stalls, and it costs two yuan a bowl, do people prefer to eat rice noodles or this?”

The second uncle, Li Zhiyao, is a successful man. "Rice noodles are not as full as this. If they are full of biwen, it should not be difficult to sell, but this one has no water. If you eat too much, you will inevitably get thirsty. It was okay to try it before, but it will take a long time to sell." I'm afraid it's not that easy."

This is the truth, Ban Xia is not worried, "Well, I think so, we are two partners, you work hard to produce people, I will produce prescriptions here and my father, and let anyone go after it is sold, you can Use a car to pull it, add a small stove, fry it and sell it now, or sell the soaked ones to others and fry it yourself, so that you can save food and eat porridge and be full. How much do you sell? How about fifty five?"

Seeing Ban Xia's serious look, several adults laughed out loud.

"Okay, you little girl is so smart and so smart, how can I ask for your money, and I will pay you five or five cents!"

"That's right, if your father has something to do, he will sell this thing, and we will help. Anyway, there is nothing to do now."

They help because of relatives' affection, but Banxia thinks this is not good, besides, she really thinks this can be done.

Moreover, she has other plans.

Ever since, Ban Xia's face became more serious, "Uncle, Ban Xia knows that you are doing it for our own good, but this is a long-term thing, and the business must be a business to continue, because now we only have My father came over, we came up with the prescription, and you also put in the effort, I think fifty-fifty is appropriate, if it’s not appropriate, you think June Fourth is fine.”

On the contrary, Mr. Li saw Ban Xia's appearance, and responded with a smile, "Ban Xia is right, do this, so that her grandma won't talk nonsense again in the future."

Su Qian's mighty power is well-known in these ten miles and eight villages.

But Ban Xia didn't mean it that way, and simply said, "Grandpa, uncle, can you not let your parents know about this matter."

Seeing that they were very puzzled, Ban Xia explained in detail, "This is what my brother and I thought of. We also sold it, but we were afraid of meeting people in the village, and there was no place. It is so hard for parents to sell tofu. Dad is injured and can't even pay for the medicine, if they know this, according to Dad's temperament, he must hand it over, if we have anything in the future, just..."

Although Mrs. Guo is busy up and down, killing chickens and boiling water, it does not prevent her from listening carefully. She almost always looks after Mrs. Li. Now that she is suffering like this, Ban Xia is still so sensible, "According to I said this should be like this, so as not to be scraped clean again, I see that this Pinellia can be a good one!"

Ban Xia smiled and thanked Mrs. Guo for her support.

The uncles are naturally for her good, but it is impossible for the aunts to be like Guo, not to mention the cousins, although the grandpa's family is a little richer, Yuanchen has been raised here, so it can't always be the same. Leaning on this side, my father will not be able to lift his head in the future.

As for Mrs. Li, Ban Xia is not worried about her, but only worried that if she finds out and wants to hide it from her father, she is afraid that she will feel bad, so it is better not to know.

Mr. Li thought about it and agreed.

Ban Xia breathed a sigh of relief, her thoughts are a bit strange in this era, and fortunately both grandpa and uncle love Li Shi, otherwise they would not agree.

The most important thing was agreed, and Pinellia's expression became much more relaxed, "In this way, I thought we'd dig it out before everyone knew it. Cassava is poisonous, and ordinary people don't know how to deal with it. We have to cut it up. Cook it, then soak it in water, now I can just catch up with the next market, and when I sell it, I will give my father's wages first, and just deduct it from our side!"

"You look so careful, you might become a landlord in the future." Guo joked about Ban Xia.

Ban Xia got a little excited, "That's right! When I earn money, I will buy land. When life is prosperous, Auntie, I will buy you a girl to serve you. You don't have to do anything."

Just now I saw that Ban Xia looked like an adult when she settled accounts there, but now she looks like a child, which made everyone laugh again.

"Panxia, ​​you said to dig this thing? Where to dig it? Since this is the case, it's better not to let outsiders know, lest they learn from us and use it to eat poison."

Ban Xia was very embarrassed, she dared to miss the most important thing.

"This is the root of the palm tree. We call it cassava, and the one that grows on the mountain is called yam. Can this be called cassava?"

As soon as the words came out, the rest were really shocked.

"Palm trees, there are so many of them! They grow wildly!"

"Is this still edible?"

The one that Mr. Li picked up from the side of the road is very convincing, "This one is pulled up, and there are two bowls of fried."

Ban Xia reminded again not to let Su Youli and Li's know, lest they feel bad and hand in all the money, and Ban Xia herself has no burden in her heart, why should her family be a cow and a horse, but in the end After living such a hard life, seeing the appearance of the eldest and fourth housekeepers, she couldn't believe that they didn't have money from their own houses.

What's more, Su Youli's wages are for Su Qian's.

Thinking about it, Pinellia felt a little pain again.

But there is no way to separate!This idea jumped out of Ban Xia's mind for the first time.

Tomorrow is the market day, Ban Xia thinks that while he is here, he will go and have a look, and get ready for what needs to be done.

Mr. Li and his sons didn't take it too seriously, so they dug it up. Mrs. Guo will try to sell the ones picked by Yuanguang tomorrow.

Seeing their appearance, Ban Xia understood, but she still focused on getting ready, "Auntie, I just need to cut some bamboo sticks."

"Grandpa, you can use vegetable leaves to serve after they are cooked, so as not to be inconvenient for others to carry."

"Well, when we do it later, we can also buy and sell hot soup by the way."

Seeing Ban Xia's earnest appearance, the grown-ups paid more attention to it.
