Pinellia pastoral

Chapter 33
Yuan Guang carefully climbed up the ladder, used two bamboo skewers to clamp the white-haired tofu on a banana leaf, and handed it to Pinellia.

Ban Xia held this small thing, imagining the deliciousness of fermented bean curd after it was made, even if it is really eating these bland meals, at least it can add some flavor.

In the era of lack of clothing and meat, this thing must be able to sell, even if it can't, it is not bad for frying cassava.

Ban Xia stared at the long white-haired tofu for a long time, and her mind had changed for a few moments.

When she came back to her senses, she saw Yuan Guang comforting her with a dejected face, "Ban Xia is fine, I will take good care of it next time, so that I won't grow these hairs."

Ban Xia chuckled, "Brother, it's good to have white hair. This is... mycelia. Without this fermented bean curd, it can't be made! See if there are black and green growths on it, it's broken."

"Really? Is it still edible after this?" Yuan Guang was very hesitant.

"Brother, I'm afraid you'll rush to eat it when it's finished!" Ban Xia laughed with her head up.

Yuan Guang couldn't do it, and he couldn't twist Ban Xia, who made him a good brother who loves his sister, just lying there so hard, picking out the tofu with black hair and green hair little by little, and carefully Wrap it in a banana leaf and hand it to Pinellia to prevent her from getting any of it.

There was a rustling sound outside the door, Ban Xia was very alert and signaled for the high beam to come down.

After a moment.

"Why is there no movement?" Shuiping outside the door was embarrassed when she saw that Yuzhu was looking at her in a strange way, "I really heard it."

Pushing the door hard, not being careful that the door was ajar, he staggered, "What are you two stealing!"

Steal?Ban Xia and Yuan Guang looked at each other with strange eyes.

Yuzhu smelled a strange smell, stood at the door and did not come in, the light in this room is not good, and there is muddy ground, she didn't want her embroidered shoes to be dirty, if Shuiping didn't drag her here, she would She doesn't want to come here, but seeing Ban Xia's sneaky and occasional laughter recently, she also feels that something is wrong.

Shui Ping saw that Ban Xia was holding a banana leaf on her hand, and she was even more convinced, "I said you were locked in well, and you stole something from the house?"

Looking at her face that resembled Zhou's, Ban Xia sneered, but it was a virtue, and she couldn't hear her words, "Why, your parents wronged Ban Xia for stealing money, and you came to wrong us for stealing food. If something is missing, grandma won't know?"

With Su Qian's ability, even if the oil tank is missing two spoons of oil, he can't hide it.

"You... what nonsense are you talking about!" Shuiping looked a little uncomfortable, and suddenly yelled, "Grandma, Ban Xia and Yuan Guang stole food!"

Ban Xia is very calm, if I teach her a lesson, I will not be clean in the future!
After making up her mind, she simply put the banana leaf in her hand behind her back.

"You're still hiding, you're still hiding!" Shui Ping wanted to come and grab her.

Ban Xia just ran out of the room, she will never let the far light suffer, not to mention that it is not good if she really sees the things on the roof.

Shui Ping naturally chased after her, and Yu Zhu acted like a sister, "Ban Xia, you go and confess your mistake to grandma."

"Admit it? What did we do wrong! You always wrong me, this is not for food." Ban Xia's voice became much louder.

Ban Xia and Shui Ping wanted to grab one and hide from the other, and they were deadlocked for a while.

"What kind of mourning! There is no good job! If you have the time to pick soybeans, they are all prodigals!" Su Qian's voice sounded.

Shui Ping saw that Mrs. Su Qian came, and she was overjoyed. Originally, Mrs. Zhou was crippled by Ban Xia, so she hated Ban Xia. Seeing her cautiously going to Yuanguang's small shed today, she naturally hid outside to listen. Unexpectedly, he caught the current situation, so he was naturally pleased, "Grandma, Ban Xia and Yuan Guang are stealing food!"

Ban Xia was startled when he heard the words, Shui Ping saw that Ban Xia seemed to be frightened, so she reached out to snatch it.

Ban Xia's hands are not weak, "Grandma, stay away, this, this..."

Shui Ping couldn't hear so much, so she could only use her strength, but Pinellia suddenly let go, and the black and green tofu wrapped in the banana leaf slapped on Su Qian's shirt, Dirty his hands, and the stench permeates.

Several people were dumbfounded.

"Third sister, you are so serious! They say you can't eat things, grandma, there are mice in the brother's house, and we closed the door to fight there. I never thought that I got this from the mouse nest. I really don't know when. Sister Shuiping didn't believe it, so she hurriedly washed it with milk." Ban Xia had an innocent face.

Mrs. Su Qian approached and twisted Shui Ping's arm, "Good girl! You don't have eyes, that's what your parents taught you! Dare to pour tofu here, our family Is it all used to feed mice? Why don’t you do anything else and come to catch them, it’s so noisy that you don’t feel like you’re at home!”

Seeing the stench of Su Qian's body, and the black and green tofu being thrown there, Ban Xia felt very happy. She didn't have any respect or guilt for Su Qian. She was going to grind her teeth on things that were politely thrown away.Needless to say, Shui Ping, if she didn't try to catch her, why bother.

Su Qian's eyes widened after scolding Shui Ping, "Ban Xia and you too, is it possible that you have nothing to do? What you said clearly in two sentences, you are going to make a fuss? Yuan Guang, did you collect firewood? Are you free? Catch mice at home?"

Banxia held back her laughter, anyway, she would answer whatever Su Qian scolded her, without losing a piece of meat.

Shui Ping was taken away by Su Qian in the end, Ban Xia shook her head and winked at Yuan Guang, the brother and sister laughed.

With such a release, it can be cleaned up.

And when Mrs. Zhou came back at night and heard about it, she tried to talk to Mrs. Li, but Mrs. Li pushed her back half-softly and half-hardly, and Mrs. Zhou was even more displeased with Sanfang.

Pinellia didn't care so much, she bought salt, pepper and rice wine from Mrs. Guo, and agreed to deduct it from the money she got.

The Guo family sells cassava the next day, and they have to go through Dongwang Village. Ban Xia only guesses the time and waits at the intersection.

Cassava is selling well, and you can still make money when you are free. Mrs. Guo is very satisfied. He often talks to Pinellia endlessly. What is the best way to use banana leaves? The bamboo sticks that Su Youli took the time to cut are not bad, exclusive purchase* *Rice noodles are much easier to sell, Zhuzi asked Pinellia many times, and asked Guo Shi to bring back the rice noodles from time to time...

With cassava and rice noodles blocking Su Qian's mouth, Pinellia felt a lot more at ease whether it was washing banana leaves or whatever.

Calculated in this way, how many taels of silver can be divided during the Chinese New Year, which was unthinkable before.

Ban Xia just smiled, got the salt, chili powder, and several jars, and at night, Yuan Guang and Yuan Guang rolled the white-haired tofu piece by piece and stacked them in the jars.

Gu Ya'er was naturally Fangfeng's role, the three brothers and sisters took care of it for two or three nights before putting all the tofu into the jar.

A few days later, rice wine was added and it was still sealed.

Su Youli left early and returned late every day to work in Niu Ling.

When I came back today, I told Ban Xia, "Your aunt said that cassava may not be sold anymore."
