Blessed Peasant Woman of Time Traveling

Chapter 24

Ding Xiang looked up at Wei Dashan, she was a little curious, she didn't know what this man ate on weekdays in this poor mountain valley, and he looked so tall and burly.

Wei Dashan had a simple and honest appearance, and Ding Xiang felt that it was all a deceiving illusion. He must belong to the cynical type, and his glib tongue was annoying. Such a man would not be kind enough to help her.

"There are four catties left, why do you want so much? Oh, I understand, you want to use two days' wages to get four catties of tofu, but your family can't finish one meal at night with so much, save it until tomorrow It doesn't taste good, so you have to think carefully about it."

After Ding Xiang finished speaking, she went to wash her face and ignored Wei Dashan. Her face was covered in ashes after a busy morning.

Wei Dashan took out [-] Wen without hesitation, "Who said that I will pay with wages? Don't underestimate people. What I give is cash. I have eaten tofu in the county before, and I have eaten tofu. As for the milk, I heard that it is very easy to make fermented bean curd, just mix some salt and chili powder and put it in a jar to seal it. I want to make some for winter meals.”

Ding Xiang was a little surprised. He thought he was joking, but he didn't expect that he even took out the cash.She put down the towel, came over to accept the money, "Okay, it's your business if you want to buy it, I don't need to stop it. Remember, put more salt when making fermented bean curd, otherwise it will be a pity that it will be spoiled."

At this time, Haitang and Zikui had already prepared lunch, and were busy carrying the dining table outside the house, the room was too small for the Wei family uncle and nephew to come in for dinner.

Shorty Wei came over and sat down to drink water, He Shi and Meng Gui also came to rest.Mrs. He saw Wei Dashan talking to Ding Xiang at the door just now, so he asked, "Brother Dashan, are you hungry for tofu too? Begonia, hurry up and serve the fried tofu to the table."

All the food was served on the table, and Mrs. He warmly greeted the nephew and uncle of the Wei family to eat.Wei Dashan ate the tofu and nodded as if enjoying it, "Well, Lilac's craftsmanship is not bad, and the tofu made is very fragrant."

Ding Xiang gave him a white look, "That's my sister's cooking skills, the frying is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside."

Wei Dashan smiled and said, "Both of you sisters are good at craftsmanship."

Shorty Wei cast a sideways glance at his nephew, thinking that Dashan is going crazy, you should eat more tofu if it tastes good, if you talk less, no one will treat you as dumb!

While eating, Mrs. He became worried, and asked, "Ding Xiang, how many catties of tofu did you make this morning, and how much did you sell for it? Have you sold your money?"

Ding Xiang shook her head, "No. I soaked a total of four catties of soybeans and made twelve catties of tofu. The cost was 48 Wen. But in the morning, what we ate at home plus the ones we sent out was more than two catties. We fried another one at noon. There are so many catties, and the four catties are eaten. The remaining eight catties are sold for forty Wen, and I lost eight Wen."

When He heard that he only paid eight Wen, he looked happy again, "That is to say, in the future, as long as we don't give it away, and our family doesn't eat, we can earn twelve Wen every day?" In this way, Ding Xiang He earns more than Wei Dashan.

Ding Xiang shook her head again, "It's not so easy to sell, just now there are more than five catties left, and one catty was fried, and Wei Dashan bought the other four catties, otherwise I have to pick them out in the afternoon, and it may not be sold. Go out, in the future this business can be done or not, or not.”

Mrs. He sighed, and before he could say anything, Shorty Wei said in surprise, "What? Dashan, why are you buying four catties? That's two days' wages!"

Wei Dashan was a little embarrassed by his uncle's question, but he didn't show any signs of expression. He said impatiently: "Uncle, why do you always care about me? I'll give you a catty to eat at the head office. The rest of my family of four I ate half of it at night, and the rest was eaten as fermented bean curd. I remember that my brother and I tasted fermented bean curd in the county last year.

Shorty Wei really wanted to call him a prodigal, but the head of the Meng family was too embarrassed to say so. After all, Dashan bought the tofu from the Meng family, not to mention that he could get a catty for nothing at night.

In fact, he still has some doubts. Is my nephew greedy for fermented bean curd, or is he in love with that girl Lilac?The news about Haitang spread wildly. Whoever marries a girl from the Meng family will be unlucky. He can't let Dashan get involved in this matter. It seems that he has to persuade him when he gets home at night.

At night, Ding Xiang couldn't sleep, and every once in a while she had to get up to see the growth of bean sprouts.She didn't go to sleep until midnight when she found that the bean sprouts were growing neatly, big, fresh and tender.

Because they didn't plan to make tofu any more and went to bed late at night, Haitang and Zikui finished their breakfast and Lilac got up before getting up.

While having breakfast, Mrs. He said: "Lilac, you can see if the bean sprouts are selling well today. If they are not selling well, you should quickly take those beans back to the county and return them. Don't think about doing business in the future, you'd better go to the county to find them." It’s better to be a girl from a rich family. By the way, Zikui, after breakfast, are you going to Wutong Academy to try your luck?”

Zikui smiled and nodded, "Well, I'm going to Lingzhi's house to borrow some clothes with less patches later, and Lingzhi is going too, and I happen to have a quarrel with her."

Ding Xiang focused on eating and didn't make a sound, she secretly cheered herself up in her heart, no matter what she wanted to do the business, she didn't want to be a girl for others, what's the point of being humble.

After breakfast, Zikui went to Ganoderma lucidum's house, and the Wei family's uncle and nephew also came.Ding Xiang picked up the bean sprouts and went out directly. When she passed by Wei Dashan, she was only thinking about whether the business would be good today, and she didn't have the heart to say hello to Wei Dashan.

Wei Dashan followed without saying a word, lifted the cover and took a look, "Oh, you girl is quite capable of tossing around, you sold tofu yesterday, and now you're selling this stuff again, what kind of buds are these?"

"Bean sprouts! Mung bean sprouts, haven't you heard of them?" Ding Xiang knew that most people here don't even know mung beans, let alone mung bean sprouts.

Wei Dashan was really curious, "Are the bean sprouts delicious? How much does it cost per catty?"

"Whether it tastes good or not depends on one's liking, but it's cheap, one penny per catty." Ding Xiang hurried away with worries.

Originally, Wei Dashan wanted to say, since it is so cheap, let him keep a catty.But Wei Xiaozi was staring at him, and Wei Dashan remembered his uncle nagging him endlessly last night, so he still held back.

Shorty Wei came over and whispered: "I told you so much last night, you have to remember it, and don't talk to her in the future!"

"Okay, okay, I'm just curious. I found that you are more and more nosy and nagging. Is it because you are getting older?"

Shorty Wei was so choked that he really wanted to punch his nephew.

Ding Xiang carried the burden and yelled a few words in her own village first. Everyone heard that it only cost one penny and a catty, so they all ran over to watch the excitement and asked questions.

"Lilac, are these buds delicious? How can they grow buds in winter?"

"You sell it for a penny a catty, can you make money?"

"Anyway, it's cheap, why don't you buy a catty and try it?"

Although everyone complained about Ding Xiang's family and didn't want to pay attention to her, they couldn't resist the temptation of these fresh bean sprouts. The key was that the price was cheap.

Ding Xiang was very happy in her heart. She sold six catties in her own Mengling Village, and sold the remaining three catties as soon as she entered the neighboring village.If she hadn't left a catty for her family before she went out, her family wouldn't have been able to try it at noon.

When Wei Dashan saw that Dingxiang came back after going out for a while, still carrying an empty basket, he knew that her business was not bad.

He and Meng Gui finally laughed happily, and the cloves were sold out in less than an hour, and they must be able to sell a lot in the future.

Ding Xiang hurried back to the house to soak the mung beans, soaked three catties at once, and by then there would be thirty catties of bean sprouts.

Mrs. Chen also saw the situation here, came over and said sourly: "Ding Xiang, you got so many buds, why sell them all and not get some for your own family to taste?"

Ding Xiang was in a good mood, so she didn't bother to argue with her, so she said, "Okay, I'll give some to your family, third aunt's family and grandparents to try tomorrow."

Ding Xiang had a good attitude, and Mrs. Chen had nothing to say, so she had to find another topic, "Did Zi Kui and Ganoderma lucidum go to Wutong Academy just now? Rose and Narcissus chased after hearing about it, and they wanted to try it too. A small academy There is no need for so many people, there are six or seven girls in our village alone, not to mention how many girls are waiting in the town, even if there are so many girls in other villages, it is estimated that there are hundreds of girls."

When Mrs. He saw Rose and Narcissus chasing after her, she felt that Zikui was hopeless. Now that Mrs. Chen said so, she felt that Zikui would not be able to enter Wutong Academy.

"Second brother and sister are right. My purple sunflower is not the best looking, and my temperament is not easy-going. I'm afraid I won't be able to get in. Regardless of these, if you can't get in, you can't get in. Let her work in the fields with me and Meng Gui next year." Whatever."

In fact, Mrs. He was worried that Zikui would cause trouble if she became a girl, so even if she felt that Zikui had no hope of entering Wutong Academy at this time, she was not very disappointed and looked indifferent.

But the less disappointed she was, the more disappointed Chen was. It seemed that after saying this, Da Fang's family could not be hit at all.Seeing that Lilac was selling bean sprouts smoothly, she felt as if something was blocking her.

With a sewing basket in one hand and an old padded coat in the other, Mrs. Chen was going to go chat with those women by the old well in order to let off steam.Unexpectedly, as she was walking, she saw a young man shrinking his head, as if he kept looking at Ding Xiang's house.

Isn't this Li Lei who sells flower cloth?According to Rose, every time Li Lei came back to Mengling Village, he would pick the cloth to the door of Ding Xiang's house, and talk to Ding Xiang if he had anything to do.

Mrs. Chen was immediately happy, the eldest sister-in-law really knows how to raise a daughter, the eldest daughter Haitang is pregnant with a wild species, and the two girls are going to have a private meeting with a wild man, it's simply too amazing!

She immediately yelled loudly, "Hey, aren't you Li Lei? Are you here to find Ding Xiang? Ding Xiang! Ding Xiang! Come here quickly, your sweetheart is here to find you!"

Her yelling frightened Mrs. He, her legs gave way, if Meng Gui hadn't supported her, she would have fallen down.

There is another person who is more shocked than He Shi, and that is Wei Dashan.He squinted his eyes and tilted his neck to look this way, no way, Ding Xiang actually has a crush on someone?People still came to the door?What kind of grandson does that kid look like?

Oh?Li Lei, he is very familiar!
