Chapter Seventy-Seven: Boiling
Xia Qinghe hurriedly nodded and encouraged: "Okay, I'll wait for you to make money and invite me to eat big fish and meat." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
She got all the baskets into the yard, Zhu Xiaochang became interested at the moment, and pulled Xiao Chu to practice archery in the open space not far away.
Zhu Xiaochang doesn't know anything, Xia Qinghe thinks that it would be good if Zhu Xiaochang learned a skill, and if he could shoot arrows, he could really hunt in the future.
Ergouzi and Dahuzi went to the village to talk about the matter from house to house, and everyone was boiling, but there were still half-beliefs in the middle.
Yang was very moved when he heard the news, but she didn't have a good impression of Xia Qinghe, and she didn't have a good temper, looking at the second dog standing at the door, she just glanced at her and said: "I don't believe that there is such a good thing, so can Xia Qinghe get so much money? Who doesn't know that she was penniless when she came to the village." ”
She didn't want to believe that Xia Qinghe had silver, after all, she hadn't seen silver a few times in this village for so many years.
Ergouzi just notified him door-to-door, not wanting Xia Qinghe to hand over the matter to him was not done, knowing the contradiction between the Yang family and Xia Qinghe in his heart, he said indifferently: "Anyway, I informed you, believe it or not is your business, when the time comes, don't regret watching others make money, I still have to inform others, today I dug more than 20 catties of kudzu, and I plan to take it to Qinghe to sell it, and it is estimated that it can be sold for more than 40 yuan, and it is really good to make money in half a day." ”
He said this deliberately, but his eyes kept looking at Yang, and he clearly saw Yang's tempting eyes.
He didn't continue, turned around and went straight to the next one.
Zhu Shuangjiang's hands and feet had not healed yet, and he walked out wrapped up, he glanced at the back of the second dog, and said with some uncertainty: "Mother, how do I think this thing is a bit like the truth, Dahuzi won't say it, these two dogs are also thieves and smart people, if there is no interest, they will definitely not be willing to dig, and they will not be notified from door to door, why don't you inquire?"
He felt that everyone was moving forward, and he himself could not be one step behind the others, and if this was true, he would lose a day of silver for every day he delayed.
The Yang family is also cautious, although she is prejudiced against Xia Qinghe, but she has no hatred for Yinzi.
"I'll ask Yuan and see what Yuan has to say. ”
Da Huzi notified several families in his vicinity, and he sent a piece of cold powder to each family, and everyone felt amazing when they looked at the cold powder, plus Da Huzi boasted, and suddenly, everyone believed it, and Chu also explained on the side, saying how much silver he had sold.
At this moment, several families in the vicinity are planning to go to the mountains tomorrow to dig kudzu.
Xia Qinghe is preparing to clean the water of the kudzu, the level of the back mountain is enough to eat, the groove is not very deep, so if you don't scoop the water, the excess water will easily flow out of the ditch, she needs a lot of water to wash the kudzu, so she can only scoop the water from the groove in advance and store it.
scooped two buckets of water and poured them into the wooden basin, but saw that at the open door, Chu came in with a few women talking and laughing.
Xiao Hei yelled at the door, she yelled softly, and Xiao Hei went to the stove room very obediently.
Chu was in a very good mood, and he didn't know what to say about happy things, so he laughed out loud.
Xia Qinghe put down the barrel and walked up: "Aunt Chu, why are you here?"
Aunt Chu laughed and pointed to the women behind her: "Not only did I come by myself, but I also brought someone to you, I heard Huzi say that you need kudzu?
Xia Qinghe beckoned to a few women, moved a stool and invited someone to sit down before saying: "Yes, I need kudzu and I will buy as much as I want, but there is one condition, that is, all kudzu must be cleaned, so I will give an extra four yuan for twenty catties." ”
It is a trouble to clean the kudzu root in the place where her family lives, if the villagers dig it back, they can wash it in the weak water river and send it, first, there is no weight of soil, and second, it is more convenient for her, so it is particularly cost-effective to give more four cents.
Aunt Liao, a neighbor of Aunt Chu's house, looked at Xia Qinghe with a smile and asked gently, "Then we sent you Gegen, did you give cash?"
She cares about this the most, after all, everyone is worried about one thing, that is, Xia Qinghe doesn't have much money.
Aunt Liao is a woman in her forties, very thin but kind-eyed, and she feels that she is easy to get along with.
Xia Qinghe nodded gently at Aunt Liao and explained: "Naturally, it is cash silver, I know everyone's worries, so as long as you send something, I will give you cash, how many catties should be on the scale, and I will give you a lot of copper coins." ”
As soon as these words fell, Aunt Liao's face was full of joy.
You must know that what they are most worried about is that they can't sell it after digging up kudzu, since Xia Qinghe has promised it like this, then there is nothing to worry about.
Aunt Chu is very good at sewing needles, and looked at Aunt Liao and the rest of the people and said with a "oops" voice: "What are you still worried about, don't you think I'm just following along?" I have sold more than 70 yuan, and there are so many cold powders, Qinghe wants to take everyone to make money together, you still suspect that this is a good thing that you can't find with lanterns." ”
Aunt Liao was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, we all know that it is a good thing that can't be found with a lantern, isn't it because I haven't done it so I am worried, but now I don't have any worries, Qinghe, we will follow you when you say what you do, you kid must be smarter than us." ”
Xia Qinghe was embarrassed to be praised by Aunt Liao like this, she pinned the hair scattered next to her cheeks to her ears, and said: "Auntie, don't say this, I just think that it is not easy for everyone, and after experiencing banditry, I feel that if everyone has silver, maybe they can move away, and their children and grandchildren will not have to suffer such a thing in the future." ”
After speaking, she sighed heavily, her mood was a little heavy, and she was really scared when she encountered bandits before.
For the first time, I felt the hopelessness of life.
The people in the village have been affected, so Xia Qinghe said that everyone was more touched.
Aunt Liao let out a long sigh and said, "You're right, if you have money, who wants to stay here, it's not a matter of no choice." ”
Everyone was silent, when they were able to marry here, that one was not a bitter tear, most of them were married in by changing relatives, because everyone knew that the backing village was the poorest and most miserable, and it was the most prone to banditry.
Xia Qinghe stood up and entered the house, and after a while, she came out with a bag of pastries, this was bought when she entered the city, and she originally planned to keep it for herself, but now when she sees a lot of people, she takes it out and shares it.
A piece of mung bean cake per person, Aunt Liao was a little reluctant to eat it.
"Qinghe, you still paid us to eat pastries. She couldn't remember how many years she hadn't eaten pastry.
