Chapter 45: The Thief
After sharing the good news of selling goji berries, the family began to outflank them. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Xu Qiuyi chopped the meat filling, Wulang and the flour rolled the dough, Xiao Jiu and Xu Xiangwan went to the yard to pick a basket of fresh cucumbers and two lotus whites.
The brothers and sisters didn't let Zhang do anything, so Zhang could only command from the sidelines.
I used to go to the house and cover my own hands, so my brothers and sisters will wrap it.
Gorou didn't knead the dough hard enough at first, but after Zhang's guidance, he kneaded it again.
There was only one pound of flour, and Zhang was afraid that the skin rolled by Goro would be too thick and not enough to roll out two catties of meat stuffed skin, so he said that he would go into battle in person.
Worried that Zhang's new injury and old illness would be bad again, the brothers and sisters didn't dare to let Zhang's do it, so they finally persuaded her.
Fortunately, Gorou is an expert at work, don't look small, but he has a handful of strength in his hands, and the rolling dough is as thin as a piece of paper, and he looks quite good.
After the meat foam is chopped, half of it is mixed with a small amount of crushed cucumbers and wrapped into fresh meat and cucumber filling. The other half is mixed with chopped lotus white and wrapped into a lotus white filling.
The cucumber filling has more meat and less cucumbers, while the cabbage filling has more lotus white and less flesh.
One pound of flour, two pounds of meat, and more than 300 copyists.
That night, the family boiled a big pot and ate until their stomachs were full.
No one offered to send a copy to the upper room, and even the Zhang family only hesitated but did not speak, and the family completely ignored the existence of the upper room.
Due to the large courtyard of the Xu family, the fragrance did not seem to waft into the noses of everyone in the upper room, but no one came to make trouble.
This meal of copying hands, Xu Xiangwan felt more fragrant than eating in Zhouji's hand-copying shop at noon.
Early the next morning, Gorou went to Guojia Town.
After Xu Xiangwan woke up and finished eating, he took the two coarse wheat cakes that Xu Qiuyi had prepared for himself, and went up the mountain with a bamboo tube of clear water.
Yesterday, no one asked Xu Xiangwan about the money from selling wolfberries, so she also pretended to be deaf and dumb, and secretly hid the silver of one or two or nine coins, leaving only the remaining twenty-eight copper plates in the clay pot that usually holds money. It's not that she doesn't believe Zhang, but she thinks that Zhang's heart is too soft, and she doesn't know all the actions of Shangfang, and there is still a glimmer of hope for Shangfang, who knows if there will be any changes?
This money is now Xu Xiangwan's lifeline, and she feels that it is safest only to keep it herself.
Today, Xu Xiangwan's goal is still to dig Banxia.
The Banxia in the valley has been dug up six or seven out of ten, and the remaining Banxia will probably dig for more than ten days by Xu Xiangwan alone.
Yesterday when he was in Rende Hall, Xu Xiangwan asked the shopkeeper Shen, most of the Banxia on the market today are Qing Banxia, Jiang Banxia also has it, and Fa Banxia is the least. The reason is that the preparation of Qing Banxia is the simplest, and there are more people who can concoct it, while the processing methods of Jiang Banxia and Fa Banxia are the most complicated, and there are few people who know the method, and most of them keep the concoction method as a secret recipe and never leak it, so there are few people who can concoct it.
Of course, the price of Qing Banxia is the cheapest, followed by Jiang Banxia, and the most expensive is Fa Banxia.
However, even if the price of Qing Banxia is cheap, Rendetang has already sold for twenty wen and one tael. Jiang Banxia is thirty wen and one tael, not to mention Fa Banxia, which is directly doubled, and it costs sixty wen and one tael.
And that's just the price of a tael.
Although the price of Fa Banxia is high, Xu Xiangwan also knows the method of concocting Fa Banxia, but in view of the limited conditions and the large investment in the early stage, she does not plan to concoct Fa Banxia. What's more, she is weak now, she is still young, she lacks the strength to protect herself, and it is not good to be too prominent. She loves money, but she cherishes her life even more.
What's more, in Xu Xiangwan's opinion, the price of Qing Banxia or Jiang Banxia is high enough. After all, the half summer she excavated was not calculated in two.
Although the weather has gradually cooled after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xu Xiangwan is still so hot that his face is red under the scorching sun.
Unplugging the bamboo tube, Xu Xiangwan gulped and drank several sips of water before feeling cooler.
Just as he was about to crouch down and continue digging, a furry thing suddenly popped out of his feet.
Xu Xiangwan was so frightened that she leaned back, and shook her hands several times before she stabilized her figure.
"Quack quack...... As soon as he stood firm, the furry thing stopped at Xu Xiangwan's feet, and seemed to cry out with some excitement.
Xu Xiangwan was so frightened that he hurriedly took two steps back, and when he saw that the furry thing was about to follow, he hurriedly exclaimed, "Don't!" ”
The furry thing shrank its neck in fright, sat in place, tilted its head as if staring at Xu Xiangwan curiously.
Seeing that it was no longer moving forward, Xu Xiangwan dared to look at it quietly.
I saw that it was covered with snow-white and shiny long hair, a pointed mouth, black round eyes, small ears, and a tail like a cat's tail, which looked only the size of a flower cat of Mrs. Chen's next door, like a large mouse, but it didn't look fierce, but a little silly.
"Is it a fox?" But it doesn't look like it, and the cry is not right, what kind of animal will cry like a duck, Xu Xiangwan frowned.
What is this stupid thing? It doesn't seem to be very aggressive.
"Go away!" Xu Xiangwan boldly waved the sickle in his hand.
The little guy glanced at Xu Xiangwan pitifully, took two steps back, and sat down again.
"Poor" Xu Xiangwan couldn't help but hold her forehead, how could she inexplicably feel that this little guy was pitiful, was she pitiful? I finally went up the mountain to collect medicine, but I even encountered an inexplicable animal.
"I'm going to pick up medicine, go play somewhere else." Xu Xiangwan saw that the little guy really didn't look like he was about to attack, so he breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the sickle in his hand and prepared to continue digging for Banxia.
"Quack......" The little guy saw Xu Xiangwan bending down, and quacked twice.
Xu Xiangwan turned his head to look at it, and saw that it was lying in place, so he completely relaxed.
It's such a strange animal, I don't know if the meat is good or not.
Xu Xiangwan glanced at it with bad intentions, and was so frightened that it suddenly raised its white hair, stood up, took two steps back, and then lay down again.
Looking at the little guy's movements, Xu Xiangwan finally laughed.
Where did this come from?
"Hey, little one, what are you doing here? If you're afraid I'll eat you, leave quickly! It doesn't matter if it understands it or not, Xu Xiangwan said funny.
Unexpectedly, the guy tilted his head and looked at Xu Xiangwan twice, snorted twice, and closed his eyes.
In desperation, Xu Xiangwan had no choice but to continue his own affairs and ignore the inexplicable little guy.
As soon as he dug out a Banxia, Xu Xiangwan suddenly felt that there was a flower in front of him, and the rhizome that was hanging on the Banxia seedling just now disappeared in the blink of an eye!
When I turned my head to look, I saw that the little thing that was lying on the side just now seemed to be sleeping soundly, chewing something.
"You...... You thief! "This little thing used to be here stealing medicinal herbs!
Xu Xiangwan was almost crying without tears. ***************************************
