Pinellia pastoral

Chapter 61 Negotiations
In the end, Banxia didn't enter the courtyard over there, but entered the medicine room instead.

When I came in, I found that although it was small, it was very neat and tidy. Everything was simple and simple. A large table was placed aside, and there were stacks of baskets on one side, full of medicinal materials. The smell of medicine, and a pile of bottles and cans, she nodded again, no wonder it was called Yaoliao.

"There are quite a lot of medicines here, but wouldn't it be a bad idea to pile them up like this? It's better to put them in the medicine cabinet." To gain this person's favor, it's easy to talk about it later.

When it comes to practicing medicine, Mu Jiujiu's expression is different, "I think so, but this place is not big, so it can't be filled with cabinets."

"It's not difficult, just put a row of cabinets against the wall, each cabinet can be divided into four small compartments, and the name of the medicine is pasted on the outside, so as not to be troublesome to find when you get it, I will draw a picture for you later and find a carpenter Just hit one." Ban Xia said casually.

In fact, I have long been secretly thinking about how to deal with it.

Sure enough, Mu Jiujiu agreed very much, "That's kind, girl, what's your name?"

This is to look at myself, because of habit, Ban Xia blurted out, "My name is Ban Xia."

Unexpectedly, with such a simple sentence, Mu Jiujiu's eyes lit up again, "We are destined, Banxia! Isn't this just blind medicine? Banxia enters the medicine room, um..."

There was a coughing sound behind him, as if to remind him that he still existed.

Ban Xia shrank back as if taken aback, there was an aura about this person that was hard to ignore, even if he got closer... he felt a little short of breath.

She talked so much with Mu Jiujiu just now, first of all, she naturally wanted to win his support, which was better than fighting alone, and secondly, it might as well relieve the tension.

However, compared to the previous trembling of legs and feet, it has been much better.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he lost his confidence, "Okay...a good man, a fellow..."

Why is it so wrong!
Ban Xia really hates herself.

She couldn't make words or sentences, but Di Yan spoke, "Do you still remember?"

There was a trace of temptation in the faint voice.

Ban Xia complained in her heart, how could such a "casual" person not remember, changing into a body like a steel tower, deep double eyelids, eyes like a pool of water, so that people dare not move when looking at them like this.

"Of course I remember. It was difficult to go home last time, so I borrowed your place, but you didn't make less money with that cassava, right?"

Ban Xia took a deep breath and asked back, she is here to negotiate, and she can't be led by the nose, "You used five taels of silver to not only buy those things in the yard, but also buy so many things in the mountains and fields." Cassava, even if I sell this recipe in a restaurant, it will cost more than that, but we are all from the same village, so we have this affection.”

The attitude is to show that I am not a fool. The cassava on the mountain was dug up before. This person must have done it. Otherwise, who would know that it is edible?
Di Yan raised his eyebrows, seeing Banxia moved away a little, and didn't look at himself, but his voice was firm, what is she going to do?

"so what?"

That's right, even if you suffer a disadvantage, so what?

Ban Xia pursed her mouth, as if she had expected such a scene long ago, "Hehe, of course it won't happen, but seeing you guys digging up so many of those things, I just want to talk to you about a deal, and I guarantee that you will only make money. pay."

Are you dazzled?How did you see this person showing his snow-white teeth?

Is this man smiling?
Ban Xia shivered.

Di Yan's smile was fleeting.

"Tell me."

While talking, Mu Jiujiu was still thinking about how to build the medicine cabinet that Banxia said, but he didn't ignore Di Yan's flashing smile and the content in his eyes. When we met on the arch bridge, it turned out that this little girl discovered the cassava first, and now she has come to her door, interesting, really interesting.

In Mu Jiujiu's eyes, a blazing light of gossip flashed.

Seemingly unable to impress the other party, Ban Xia became a little impatient, she didn't want to procrastinate, "I came this time to use cassava planting in exchange for one condition."

"That thing, could it be that we don't know how to plant it ourselves?" Di Yan suppressed the excitement in his heart, and remained calm.

Ban Xia frowned, and looked more anxious, "Can you guarantee that you can harvest it for a year? Besides, you don't have many cassava seeds now. Do you know how to plant it? If you learn this, you will be able to harvest it." If you can go and plant in those unowned wastelands outside, anyway, you don’t have to be afraid if you have a lot of people.”

Hearing the words "you have many people", Di Yan was startled, and the fierce light flashed in his eyes.

Mu Jiujiu interrupted, "Banxia, ​​how do you know that we have a lot of people?"

"Don't you have many people? How can you eat so many things if you don't have many people, and..." It's hard to say.

"There's not much use in planting that."

Ban Xia gritted her teeth, "I can still make food! You can sell that for money, and that's enough. I only have one small condition."

It was as if his mind was going to be hollowed out, Ban Xia could only comfort himself, anyway, they would not do business openly and aboveboard, they would not lose money, they would not lose money, anyway, as long as Su Youli could come back, it would be better than anything else.

Seeing that it was almost done, Di Yan asked, "What conditions?"

"Save my father!" Ban Xia looked directly at the past.

Di Yan was silent again.

Pinellia didn't dare to push too much.

"What's wrong with your father, Banxia? Tell me, which bastard doesn't have eyes and dares to mess around? Isn't Tai Sui Lord breaking ground? Could it be that your father killed someone?" Mu Jiujiu's guess was really bold. .

As soon as the words started, Ban Xia was able to continue, "My father bought tofu in the town last time. One day before the Chinese New Year, he saw a person who was very pitiful, so he gave the money to him, and then he was sent by the yamen yesterday. It was taken."

"and then?"

"My uncle and my uncle found out because of gangsters... I thought they were all from the same village, not to mention that my father is kind, so he can be regarded as helping you..."

Mu Shijiu opened his mouth wide, and yelled, "You mean we are soil..." The word bandit hovered around his mouth for a long time before landing, because it was stopped by Di Yan's eyes.

Di Yan glanced at Banxia, ​​and said in a deep voice, "How can you be sure that I can save him?"

Ban Xia has already thought about this point, "This neighborhood should be all your people, as long as you insist that my father didn't do anything, you won't be burdened too much. I think you dare to move around the town. Presumably... there is some connection, not to mention my father was wronged, right?"

"Do you think others will care if your father was wronged?" Di Yan said coldly.

Ban Xia has lost his temper because of him, "So, I'm not asking you to let him go, even if he is out of good intentions, I'm here to negotiate terms with you. Anyway, what about my father has nothing to do with you. But if you know how to grow cassava, don’t you get a lot of income every year, there are so many people in your cottage, there is always something useful to eat, drink and use, isn’t it?”

Di Yan seemed a little moved.

Ban Xia is waiting, if Di Yan is really unwilling to make a move, she really has nothing to do, Su Youli is really unlucky, someone else saves someone, not to mention saving a down-and-out son to repay his favor, at least it is something My lord, the kindness of a drop of water is reciprocated by a spring, this is the normal way to save people, isn't it?Unexpectedly, he saved a bandit and caused a whole lot of trouble!

Di Yan asked a few more questions, all about the people Banxia Su Youli rescued and when they were taken away yesterday.

Is this what promise means?

"Your father will come back." Sure enough, he agreed.

Ban Xia breathed a sigh of relief.She has been thinking about these things all night, and she still thinks that coming here to look for them is the most effective way.Because Su Youli disappeared, it's hard to say whether someone from the yamen took him away. Who doesn't know how terrifying rumors are.

In other words, even if people from the yamen take him away, the worst result is that bandits are involved, and Su Youli is nothing but an insignificant person. If Di Yan can be here with such a strong sword, there is naturally a way to keep him safe. The ones taken away are even better. Even if they are missing, there are many of them and they can have clues. What's more, they have seen some pinellia from their frantic digging of cassava, so I can only try with an attitude.

Anyway, the loss is not big.What you want is different.

Di Yan didn't say much, "How do you plant cassava?"

Originally, I thought not to play tricks in front of such a person, but Ban Xia was worried about being tricked by others. After weighing it for a while, he said, "Use cassava sticks, which can be buried in the soil before, and cut like this in March and April next year. Grow a section, plant it well, and divide it into rows. After autumn, you can harvest it. The one-year cassava is not so old, and it is good to eat. Wasteland can be planted. I will talk about it next time. How to process cassava into food."

In the end, I still kept a hand.

Fortunately, that Di Yan didn't seem to care much.

Mu Jiujiu asked Banxia to draw the picture of the medicine cabinet, and Banxia was despised once again when he picked up the pen. Finally, he passed the test by drawing gestures and writing those messy characters.

Di Yan asked Ban Xia to go home first, and the news would definitely arrive before evening.

As soon as Ban Xia relaxes, he feels a little sleepy. Is this really all right?Can you believe it?

She didn't even notice that Di Yan and the others were a little surprised when they saw what she wrote on the paper.

After Banxia came out, Mu Jiujiu turned around, and finally couldn't help asking, "Boy, you won't be reduced to the point of arresting strong men, right? Do you really think you are a bandit?"

Di Yan said something in a low voice.

Mu Jiujiu was startled for a moment, then he patted the table and laughed loudly, "You boy, you're so weak, you'll be known by that girl, hehe, you're not easy to mess with."
