Chapter Eighty-Three: Meeting a Nobleman

The more Granny Deng listened, the more interested she became, if this could really be sold for money, wouldn't the kudzu all over the mountains be able to make a lot of money. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

However, the price of kudzu still has to be asked, she looked at Xia Qinghe gently and said, "Then how much is a pound of kudzu?"

Dahuzi likes to talk about the price of kudzu, the things that grow on this mountain are not worth much, and he didn't spend much effort, so he said with a smile: "Gegen is two pennies a catty, and you can give an extra four pennies if you wash it and send it to twenty catties, and my mother and I can sell it for seventy or eighty cents a day." ”

Granny Deng was happy in her heart, she also sells sweet potatoes herself, sweet potatoes are not easy to sell for a penny, this kudzu is actually more expensive than sweet potatoes, the more I think about it, the more I feel that this business can be done.

However, she didn't agree to it immediately, but said very steadily: "If you can really eat it, then I'll go back and dig it, I just have time recently, how many kudzu do you need, little girl?"

Xia Qinghe was very serious, she had a complete plan by herself, so she replied with certainty: "As much as you want, just wash it and send it to me." ”

She has now borrowed a donkey, and as soon as the stone mill is settled, she can start rolling it, and then she can produce a large amount of starch, and the most important thing is that she doesn't have to bother much when it is cleaned.

The boat soon arrived at the village, and Xia Qinghe, who had anchored the boat, took Granny Deng to her house first.

Although it is close, but Granny Deng counted that this is the second time to come to the mountain village, and when she passed by the village, she looked at the house in the village and sighed: "The ancestor of the Zhu family who originally came to settle here was to avoid trouble, and it was a paradise when there were few people at the beginning, but I didn't expect that now there are more bandits and bandits are also eyeing here, our village is slightly better, and it is closer to several nearby villages, and the people from the next few villages will come to help as soon as the bandits come, so this time there is only the backing village." ”

Xia Qinghe secretly called himself unlucky in his heart, just cross over, okay, cross to a girl with an unknown background, that's it, the Han woman she met before was stunned, and now I think about it, she was not an ordinary nest at the beginning.

But after thinking about it, I didn't know the place well at the beginning, and I haven't figured out the situation yet, so if I resist, it is estimated that it will be an egg hitting a stone, and I may end up being beaten even harder.

When Mrs. Han died, she didn't know whether she was happy or sad, she could only sigh that fate was playing tricks on people.

"The last time the bandits scared me to death, if I hadn't hid in the haystack, it would have been over, it would have been fate. Xia Qinghe said with emotion, thinking about the events of that night, as if in a dream.

After a while, she had reached the foot of the mountain, and Granny Deng looked around and frowned, "Your family lives at the bottom of this mountain? ”

There are wild beasts in the area, and if you are far away from the village, you can easily be attacked by wild beasts, especially in the winter when there is a shortage of food, and there may be something hanging around.

Xia Qinghe didn't want too many people to know her origin, so she could only sigh: "My brother is a little slow to react, and the people in the village often bully him, so he moved to the foot of the mountain. ”

I was already able to see the wall, Granny Deng bent over to take a breath, and said embarrassedly: "Little girl, don't dislike me for walking slowly, this is useless when I am old, I feel bored when I walk, let's go to your house and rest." ”

Xia Qinghe stepped forward to help Granny Deng walk slowly.

The gate was open, and Zhu Xiaochang was cleaning the kudzu root in the yard, and when he saw Xia Qinghe coming back, he quickly stood up to greet him.

The big black dog also greeted Xia Qinghe with his tail.

"Xiao Chang went to move the stool out. Xia Qinghe said a word, and Zhu Xiaochang immediately turned around and entered the house.

The last time Granny Deng saw Zhu Xiaochang, she knew that there were two brothers and sisters in this courtyard, and she sympathized with Xia Qinghe more and more: "You two brothers and sisters are poor people, live a good life, life has to go on slowly." ”

At this point, she didn't know what to say next.

Zhu Xiaochang happened to hear this, put the stool next to Granny Deng, and said very sincerely: "When my mother was still there, I often said that sometimes people can't bear their own lives, mother-in-law, you sit down and rest, I will pour you tea." ”

Granny Deng looked at the kudzu in the yard, this is to pick out some very few unwashed kudzu when they are put into the firewood room, some dead corners are not easy to clean, Zhu Xiaochang is using a knife to cut off those dead corners that are not easy to clean, so there are a lot of baskets scattered in the yard.

"You really have so many kudzu roots in your family. Granny Deng still felt a little incredible, and when she looked at Kudzu, she felt like she was in a dream.

Little by little, she was convincing herself that kudzu could be eaten.

Xia Qinghe stood up and said with a smile: "Mother-in-law, sit down and wait for me, I'll get you cold powder, you can know if I'm lying after you eat it." ”

She turned around and went directly into the stove room, and very quickly made a bowl of cold noodles mixed with seasonings for Granny Deng, and handed it to Granny Deng.

Looking at some blackened cold powder in the bowl, Granny Deng took the chopsticks with a suspicious attitude and gently pinched a piece.

As soon as the cold powder entered her mouth, she only had one feeling, it was delicious! And this cold powder was very tender, especially suitable for the elderly to eat, Xia Qinghe mixed it tasted extremely good, and she couldn't help but eat the second bite after taking one bite.

"Delicious, delicious. She said repeatedly, looking at Xia Qinghe with a smile and still feeling incredible: "Is this really made by Gegen?"

Xia Qinghe sat next to Granny Deng and said very gently: "Naturally, Granny Deng, if you want to make money, go back and dig it, if you want to dig it, you can also introduce it to me and sell it, this is more cost-effective than selling sweet potatoes, you think, you have to plant sweet potatoes yourself, you have to dig them when you plant them, you have to clean them and sell them, the most important thing is that they are not easy to sell, Kudzu is different, there are a lot of these things on the mountain, you can find them with a little care, but I still recommend not digging too small, after all, there is still a chance to sell next year." ”

She also told the villagers not to dig up those who are too small to keep them for next year, and if they want sustainable development, they must be merciful.

Granny Deng is already moved, she will settle accounts, at the end of the day, she can earn forty or fifty yuan, and the only thing about Gegen is that it is not so easy to dig, after all, the land in the mountains and forests is relatively hard.

But it's a no-brainer.

This is really an opportunity to make money, she said repeatedly: "I'll dig it when I go back, and you can prepare the silver." ”

Xia Qinghe changed fifteen taels of silver and is not panicking now, but what she is most worried about is the donkey: "Granny Deng, can you lend the donkey to me." ”

Granny Deng is a cheerful person, and she said very freely: "I don't like to listen to what you say about renting or not, you just need to borrow you for a few days, I will serve it with good food and drink every day, it has to make some contribution." ”
