Chapter 038 Benefit Sharing
Feng Ruo was stunned for a moment, because of the obvious humility in Hua Shangxue's words, as well as the concealment of taking the initiative to borrow the kitchen to cook vegetables, he completely erased his own credit, and only blamed everything on luck.
Feng Ruo took a deep look at Hua Shangxue, who showed a low eyebrows and pleasing posture, and suddenly felt that her age was so out of place in her, or rather, her performance was completely inconsistent with her identity.
If her actions are really flattering to the children of large families in order to survive, they will complement each other, keep a low profile and not be in the limelight, maintain a just right scale, and will not cause trouble for themselves.
It stands to reason that at her age, she should be the age when she likes to ask for credit, but she doesn't, but she definitely showed that she was not willing to suffer in terms of money before.
In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Feng Ruo's mind, not only did she not hate Hua Shangxue because of this, but she became more and more curious, wanting to see more of what kind of multifaceted nature she could show.
By the way, today she said that she would follow her father to Pushan Town tomorrow, and maybe she will find something different if she follows her.
"Feng Gongzi, is that really the case?" Hua asked in a deep voice, as the head of the family, he opened his mouth and asked under the gaze of his three sons.
"That's right. According to the small bamboo shoots sent by Xiaoxue, I also sent three hundred catties over, one catty and five cents as a reward, and Mr. asked me to bring some back when I went back, which was one or two silver, which was counted as an advance deposit, and the silver money of the small bamboo shoots I took back later was also counted in it. As for the delivery time, you can do it yourself, and naturally the sooner the better. The place where this thing is sent will be farther away, and the utensils will be prepared by you, and the money will be counted separately, I don't know what Lu Dao means? Feng Ruo did not debunk Hua Shangxue's concealment, and asked Hua Jinglei directly.
"Three hundred catties of small bamboo shoots?"
"You ask Xiaoxue about this matter, there are two kinds of bamboo shoots sent today, Xiaoshan bamboo shoots are two hundred catties, and the other is a share of one hundred catties." Feng Ruo didn't know how to describe the bamboo shoots in Lu Dao, so he simply handed over the details to Hua Shangxue to deal with, he believed that this would give her a better chance to play without being abrupt.
Facing the doubts of the four grandfathers, Hua Shangxue said: "I'll talk about this matter slowly, I'll go and get the little bamboo shoots first and let Feng Gongzi take them back." Hua Shangxue said and went to the cellar, and after a while, he came out with Liu Qiyue, and brought the small bamboo shoots that Hua Shangxue had carefully handled yesterday, and put a basket full of them for Liu Qiyue to carry out.
"Hey, these little bamboo shoots ......" Hua Jingtuan looked at the little bamboo shoots that had been handled neatly and said in surprise, but he immediately closed his mouth and secretly glanced at Feng Ruo.
"Feng Gongzi, this is the small bamboo shoot you want, it weighs almost ten catties, it should only be a lot more. It's not early, you better go back quickly, lest the road is not easy to walk after dark, and your husband will have to worry about you at home, which is not good. Hua Shangxue said, glancing at Fengruo, let him leave as soon as possible.
"Then I'll go back first." Feng Ruo said as he picked up the bamboo basket and turned to leave, leaving only one or two pieces of silver on the old wooden table to attract everyone's attention.
Hua Jinglei stepped forward, sat down where Feng Ruo was originally seated, weighed the one or two pieces of silver, and then put it into his money bag and opened his mouth.
"Put this silver here first, the matter of the little bamboo shoots, according to the amount provided by each of you three brothers to decide the distribution of money and silver, how to do it, let the girl say, after all, this thing is the business she found and found for us." Hua Jinglei opened his mouth like this, Hua Shangxue was not polite, and also told the matter of the bamboo shoots, coupled with the testimony of the Hua Xiaobao brothers, everyone knew that before the small bamboo shoots, those once unpalatable bamboo shoots in the past actually needed to be treated like this before they could be eaten, and they tasted good.
"Since the bamboo shoots can be eaten, the boss, the second, and the third, the three of you will go to the bamboo forest now, and come back with two hundred catties of bamboo shoots, remember that you must be at least knee-high to get them back. Tonight, let your daughter-in-law cut and boil overnight, take it to the stream and soak it for two days and two nights, just take advantage of these two days, people who are free will go to the mountains to pick small bamboo shoots back, according to the girl just now to the little bamboo shoots taken away by the wind boy to deal with the good looks, the big family is very particular about what to eat, since it can be sold for money once, if it is done well, there should be business next time. By the way, girl, how long do you think this little bamboo shoot can be stored? ”
"Master, the mountain god mentioned that as long as it is handled properly, it is best to have salt water sealed in the altar and put it in a cool cellar, and there will be no problem for a year." Hua Shangxue responded, and had already copied the words that he had just copied in the name of the mountain god when he explained the truth of the matter.
"Did you hear that, since you can store it for a long time, let's try to get as many as possible."
"Yes, Dad." The three brothers responded in unison, and under the signal of Hua Jinglei's eyes, they immediately went home, put on the back frame of firewood, brought ropes and kitchen knives, and walked towards the bamboo forest in the mountains together.
"Third daughter-in-law, you cook first, maybe you have to deal with things at your house at night, you can get the meal here early, and you can empty the stove to deal with things later."
"Yes, Dad."
After explaining this, Hua Jinglei got up and went back to Huajingtuan's house, and happened to meet her grandmother Huangmei at the door, and directly let her into the yard.
As soon as grandma appeared, Hua Shangxue could already predict that the one or two pieces of silver that went into his grandfather's pocket, and his family didn't want to get a cent from there, and he had to pay the money for the urn first.
Fortunately, he had foresight, otherwise he would have died.
Speaking of which, it is to blame Feng Ruo for giving so much of a deposit, which is enough for one or two silver, and there is no way to divide it on the spot, so that each family can directly prepare enough small bamboo shoots to come over.
Before it was completely dark that day, the three brothers each carried a hundred catties of bamboo shoots back, threw them directly in their yard, and then went home to eat.
After eating at home, I immediately started to process the bamboo shoots, because of the large size, the shelling is simple, and the more troublesome thing is slicing.
Hua Xia Tian helped to peel the shell, the snow on the flower was not idle, more than 300 catties of bamboo shoots have been peeled off, only to see the second uncle Hua Bohu pulled the second aunt to help, as for the uncle's family, but there was no trace, and even the sound of grandma Huangmei and grandpa Hua thunder quarreling, intermittently heard the words silver and penny, needless to say, it was the dispute caused by the one or two silver left in Hua Jinglei's pocket.
Counting on the people of the uncle's family to help, it is not worth counting on, but fortunately, the second uncle Hua Bohu and the second aunt Wang Yixiang came to help, otherwise if the three hundred catties of bamboo shoots are made by themselves, I am afraid that it will be tossed very late.
Although the face of the second aunt Wang Yixiang is not very good-looking from beginning to end, she is busy but really helps, and it is not like the uncle's family who doesn't even see a figure.
After everything was dealt with, only when the bamboo shoots were taken to the pot to boil, I saw the eldest aunt Liu Dongqing twisting her round waist and belated.
