Qiduo stopped making lotus root cakes.

She didn't have many surprises, though.

Xu's reaction made her know that this family business should not be too good.

"Who is the man? Who is the matchmaker? Qiduo asked.

Xu replied, "I don't know the matchmaker, it's from the county, her surname is He, but the man may still know you." ”

"Oh, who is it?" Qiduo was a little curious.

"The eldest son of the shopkeeper of Yuekelai Restaurant, surnamed Han, do you know Duo?" Xu asked.

"Ah, Han Hewen's eldest brother?" Qiduo was surprised.

She knew that Han Hewen was the fifth line, Han and Lin were the second, and the eldest son of the Han family was their eldest brother.

It's just that Han and Lin are not young, and his eldest brother is older, how can he not marry yet?

For the Han family, except for knowing the two brothers Han Hewen and Han Helin, as well as business contacts, she has no contact at all, it can be said that everyone is unfamiliar, why did the Han family come to the door to ask to marry the eldest sister?

The Han family is considered to be a high-ranking family, and it is not right to be a family member at all, which is really strange.

Alas, another suspicious family affair!

Seven flowers sighed secretly.

"I asked for my name, my name was Han Hecheng, twenty-five years old, and he said that he was born very handsome and had a gentle personality. It's just that I can't believe the words of this matchmaker, so I specially told you that you can help inquire. Xu said.

"I heard Uncle Nian say that the Han family not only has a restaurant to make a living, but also has hundreds of acres of fertile land at home, and also operates other businesses. Han Hecheng is twenty-five years old again, how can he not marry? Isn't there any ulterior secret in this Han family?

The Han family...... Wait, mother. This Han family Dashao can't be the same person as that Han Dashao, right? Seven flowers analyzed carefully. suddenly connected Han Dashao with the Han family's son. I was shocked.

Xu's face also changed greatly, and he hurriedly asked, "Han Dashao?" Is it the evil young man who wanted to grab three peaches in the town last time? ”

"Well, that's right, it's him, by the way, the eldest brother-in-law brought him to our house that night." Qiduo nodded.

Suddenly, her heart moved.

Han Dashao grabbed three peaches. What Yang said, when Yueke came to meet Han Dashao, Uncle Nian went out to get it done, Wang Honglei suddenly brought Han Dashao to the house, and Wang Honglei was overly enthusiastic in the county last time, Han Hecheng came to the door to propose marriage......

Qiduo linked these things together, and it was almost certain that Han He was Han Dashao.

She guessed that it was very likely that Han Dashao had heard the Yang family mention that Erxia was born very beautiful, and he was familiar with Wang Honglei, and he might ask Wang Honglei if this was true or false. Wang Honglei knows Erxia very well. I'm sure I'll tell you the truth, and I'm likely to take advantage of it.

No wonder when I dealt with the Lin family's affairs last time. Wang Honglei inexplicably brought Han Dashao to the house, and at that time, Wang Honglei asked to see Erxia several times.

Later, when they left, Han Dashao turned back three times in one step, she was strange at the time, but she didn't think much about it, but now that she thinks about it, Han Dashao should want to see Erxia.

Damn Wang Honglei, why don't you die!

It's really not a family that doesn't enter the door, and Tan Deyin and his wife are dead virtues, and they come to calculate my eldest sister again, are you impatient to live?

Qiduo hated and scolded in his heart.

"Mother, can the matchmaker say that the eldest sister married to be a wife or a concubine?" Qiduo asked a little bit of gritted teeth.

"Say it's a wife." Xu replied.

"Mother, you didn't agree, did you?" Qiduo asked busily.

Xu Shi hurriedly shook his head, "The stakes are very high, and I am not familiar with the matchmaker, how can I accept it at will." ”

"Okay, mother, I'm going to Yueke tomorrow, and I'll confirm whether Han Xishao and Han Hecheng are the same person. If so, next time when the matchmaker comes over, we must ask clearly why Han Xishao thought of marrying the eldest sister. Qiduo nodded seriously.

"Well, Duo, you must ask for an understanding. If anyone dares to do bad things in the back again, I will definitely go to them this time to settle the score. Xu also gritted his teeth.

Who is Han Dashao, she has heard Qiduo say it.

Qiduo agreed with her idea.

Liuju and Erxia sent the lotus root back soon, Qiduo asked Zhao what to say, and the two said that Zhao just had a gloomy face, and let them come back without saying a word.

Qiduo pursed his lips, noncommittal.

The first pot of lotus root cakes came out of the pot, and the seven flowers were tasted by Xu's family, Erxia and Liuju, and they were all delicious, fragrant and crispy.

Qiduo asked Liuju to send some to Tan Dama's family, thanking the three aunts and sisters-in-law of the Wang family for their help.

Liuju smiled and packed twenty lotus root cakes and sent them to Tan Dama's house.

Rice is being cooked on the stove, and today Tan Dejin, Tan Debao and Tang Hu are digging lotus roots, they are very tired, and they have to eat rice, otherwise their bodies will not be able to bear it.

There is a drawer cage on top of the rice pot, in which the braised pork made yesterday is steamed, and the aroma of the meat wafts outward with the steam of the rice, making people can't help but swallow their saliva.

Qiduo made Erxia pancakes, and she started another pot, sliced slices of meat, and made fragrant boiled meat slices with tender soybean sprouts as the base.

Considering everyone's taste, she deliberately put less chili peppers.

In addition to the boiled pork slices, stir-fried vegetable moss and bamboo shoot slices, plus an egg and mushroom soup.

The dish was ready, and after waiting for a while, Tan Dejin and the three of them also came back.

After a tiring day, seeing the fragrant and sumptuous dishes, Tang Hu and Qiduo's family were a little polite, then picked up the rice and ate it deliciously.

"Well, this dish is really delicious, even better than the last time I ate it in the restaurant in town." Tang Hu ate the dish and couldn't help but praise.

"Brother Tang, this is all Qiduo's craftsmanship, if you think it's delicious, then eat more." Tan Debao said with some pride.

After eating the food made by Qiduo, and then eating the food made by other people, I felt that there was no taste.

Tang Hu gave Qiduo a thumbs up and praised, "Seventh niece, you are really capable, at a young age, you can not only do business, but also make good dishes that are better than the master of the restaurant, you are really a god." ”

Qiduo touched his head a little embarrassedly, and said with a smile, "Uncle Tang." You are exaggerating. That's all I can do. In the future. We still have to work hard for Uncle Tang, you can eat more. ”

She used clean chopsticks to pick up two pieces of red braised pork and put them in Tanghu's bowl.

"Seventh niece, you are too humble." Tang Hu smiled, and then said to Tan Dejin and Xu, "The eldest brother and sister-in-law are really blessed, giving birth to such a good daughter, blessed." ”

"Hehe, Qiduo is good. She worries about things outside the house, such as digging lotus roots and selling lotus roots, she is trying to find ways to come up with ideas. The lotus root in the pond, if it weren't for her, would all be rotten. Tan Dejin smiled proudly, and did not hesitate to praise Qiduo.

"I can see it, by the way, Seventh Niece, how are you going to sell this lotus?

At this time, there are no lotus roots on the market everywhere, and Hulin Town is also a big town. There are a lot of rich people in town, I thought. If you can get some lotus root to sell there, you will definitely be able to sell it. Thinking of selling lotus roots, Tang Hu kindly made suggestions.

Since he is going to come to Qiduo's house to do things, of course he hopes that her family's business can get bigger and bigger, so that he can have a stable job to do to ensure that he has no worries about food and clothing.

Last time, when he had lunch on the second day after returning from Tan's house, Lin Laosi looked at the dishes on the table and became angry, saying that he was tired of eating these things every day, so why didn't he get some fresh things to eat.

At that time, he listened to it on the sidelines, and his heart moved to think of the lotus root of the Seven Flowers, which was a new thing at this time.

Qiduo's eyes rolled, and he answered, "Uncle Tang, your suggestion is very good, but we are not familiar with Hulin Town, I don't know who you know, Uncle Tang?" Like a restaurant, a rich man, it's all right. ”

Tang Hu nodded, "Well, I have lived in Hulin Town for three or four years, although I don't make any money and don't have much income, but I still know some people." Seven nieces, if you need it then, I can help introduce you, like the drunken incense building and Daohua building in the town, which are all famous restaurants, and the business is very prosperous, and I have a little friendship with their managers. ”

"Great, with your words Uncle Tang, I have more confidence in selling lotus roots. Let's dig up the lotus root first, and then we will sell it slowly. Qiduo narrowed her eyes and smiled happily.

Tang Hu's words really strengthened her confidence.

At that time, not only all the big towns under Tonglin County, but even Wangsong County and Ningji County next door, will let them all come to taste the snow lotus of Luhuapo.

"Don't be too happy, it's easy to dig up lotus roots, but if you sell them slowly, they'll be rotten. Unless you have a way to keep them from rotting for a long time, ...... Alas! Tan Debao poured cold water on the excited Qiduo.

Although it was cold water, he was telling the truth.

In this weather, if no method is used, the lotus root can only be stored for a week at most.

What happens after a week?

Tan Dejin, Xu and Erxia were all silent, this is a big problem.

But Tang Hu said with a confident face, "You don't have to worry about this, I did it when I helped people dig lotus roots before, dig a pit and bury the lotus root in it, and it can be kept for a month or two." ”

"Yes, in addition to the soil burial method, there is also the water cultivation method, which is okay." Seven flowers also followed.

In her previous life, she had come into contact with lotus root farmers who sold lotus roots, and heard them talk about the long-term preservation methods of fresh lotus roots.

At that time, I was just curious, so I asked, but I didn't expect it to come in handy today.

However, I have only heard this method said, but I have never done it myself, but now that Tang Hu has really done it, he is not worried.

Qiduo now feels more and more that Tang Hu is a talent and a capable helper.

The hearts of Tan Dejin and his wife and Tan Debao were relaxed.

"Let's eat, we have to go to Luhuapo." Tang Hu said.

A simple shack was built on the side of Luhuapo, Tan Debao, Tan Dejin and Tang Hu slept there tonight, and early tomorrow morning, Tan Dejin sent Tang Hu to Guangming Village to make a ferry back to Hulin Town, and then came back to send Qiduo to the town and county.

After dinner, Tan Dejin and the three of them took the futon, brought the steel fork and other tools for defense, and went to Luhuapo again.

Qiduo was going to discuss with Tan Dejin about buying a barren slope, but because Tang Hu was there, he was delayed, and he had to wait for tomorrow. It's better to do it sooner rather than later, and now I bought it, just in time for the planting period.

However, Tan Dejin and the others had just gotten on the ox cart and had not taken a few steps before they were stopped by Tan Decai, saying that the Zhao family was looking for Tan Dejin. (To be continued......)
