Pinellia pastoral

Chapter 77

Su Youli briefly repeated a few words of Ban Xia.

It made her just want to hide her face. Could it be that she has already become like that?
Su Youli also pointed out the locations of the earthen stoves on the two floors, the upper ones were used to burn fire and the lower ones leaked ashes, and the chimneys. Slowly, Yuan Guang also joined in to make suggestions.

Ban Xia thought of something, "Father! If we want to make bean curd sticks, we might as well build up the stove first, or I'm afraid there won't be enough for it."

Su Youli is someone who has eaten yuba, and he went to sell bean sprouts and fried tofu in person. I dare not say it elsewhere. These are things that I have never eaten before. Who would have thought that these are made of beans?What's more, the previous transaction gave him confidence, so he didn't have any objection at all.

"Father, I don't know what kind of stove is needed to make bean curd sticks..." This is something that I have never done. It's just peeling off.

Hearing what she said, Su Youli thought for a while, "It's okay, let's build our own stove first, and I'll save space here. Anyway, if we need to build our shed, we can build it bigger. Dad has plenty of strength!"

Seeing that Su Youli rarely had such arrogance to call the shots, Ban Xia naturally stopped saying anything. Making bean curd sticks is not an easy task, and it is not bad to eat two meals. If you really want to start a business, it depends on efficiency. , and cost, etc., should be considered first, and we can only experiment slowly.

Anyway, there is no rush.

Because the wasteland inside is not very level, things like Su Youli and mud were done in the front courtyard.

I don't know if Yu Zhu said something to Shui Ping, but Su Qian rushed in directly, looked around with sharp eyes, looked at the door carefully, and then went to see what Su Youli was busy with.

It really doesn't matter!

Ban Xia, who had always been afraid that her family's things would be spied on, didn't want to say anything to Su Qian. Anyway, Su Qian would not respond to anything. Maybe there was an excuse to scold people, and she couldn't stop her, but Su Youli was far behind. Guang completely regarded her as air, and it wasn't long after the last time, she was able to come like this.

"When did the door open? Third child?" Su Qian asked, smacking his lips.

Su Youli frowned, and came in carrying the reconciliation mud, and replied in a low voice, "Just now."

This act of smashing the wall and digging out the door was not deliberately concealed, and Su Youli didn't do it in a while by himself, how could Su Qian's not know?I just don't know what purpose she came here for, "Hey, even though the family is separated, it's not for your own good. At that time, I was also in a daze, thinking that if you can't come back, you will always keep someone else, so after a few days in Banxia There is only one to rely on, why don't you understand. Why don't you say anything about such a big thing as opening the door, so come and help, and it also depends on Feng Shui, you are still young after all."

It's still the same old tune, even if it's true, so what, Su Youli's heart feels chilly, not to mention how much of this kind of affection is involved in it is unknown, if he doesn't know the answer, Su Youli simply doesn't speak.

"Old man, you still hate us!" Su Qian suddenly howled for no reason.

Is it possible that you still have reason?If this division makes sense, then what about Su Youcai's business grabbing?Don't say everything is a coincidence, haha.

"Third, do you still have the things you sent last time?"

What is Su Qian going to do?Is this a probe?Ban Xia hurriedly answered, "Grandma, you have to ask this, the meat has been eaten long ago, and there is not much food, but a few pieces of cloth. Parents haven't worn better clothes for many years, and they don't even go out. How can I change it?"

"Look at you girl, you can do it, so what if you are young, you should dress better." Su Qian said casually.

Ban Xia was dumbfounded.

Su Qian coughed twice, "Who is that family? Where does the family live?"

Su Youli was a little annoyed. The stove was halfway built, and he was concentrating on working, but was always interrupted, "How would I know."

"Why don't you know, this is a life-saving kindness! See, people are not the ones who don't repay their kindness. You saved someone, how old is that person? What kind of young man is he?" Su Qian finally said.

Ban Xia's eyes rolled, it's not right, if you ask, Su Qian doesn't have a daughter!
"There must be sisters in the family. The fifth child can study. If I get it back, I will be promising in the future. Will I still remember you as the third brother? By then, Yuanchen wants to study and do what he wants to do." It's much easier, otherwise it's not easy for the two of you to work and six people to eat." Su Qian seemed to be thinking of Su Youli.

Does this make fifth uncle a relative with that side?But this is simply something that doesn't even have a word, and you still use Yuanchen's affairs to seduce?When they are all fools?
When it came to matters involving children, Su Youli remained silent, but Li Shi couldn't help it, "There will always be some in this fate, and if you don't have one, you can't force it."

The pun in the answer made Su Qian feel a little embarrassed.

"Think about it, third child. You can't be so confused after the family is separated. This stove is pretty good and bright. If you have time, you can replace the stove over there with the same one." Su Qian dropped such a sentence and said want to go out.

"Grandma, you said that my father and my mother work for six people to eat, and I can't even eat this meal. How can I help with that." Ban Xia replied, it's really too much to order my father even after the family is separated. Take yourself seriously.

It's a pity that Ban Xia said so, Su Qian was not angry at all, shook his head and left.

Not scientific!

Did the sun come out from the west, or did Su Qian's temper suddenly change, thinking that her withered claw-like hand was going to touch her head just now, and Ban Xia felt chills all over her body.

Anyway, it's good not to curse.

Ban Xia didn't think much about it, and continued to water the bean sprouts every day, while Li Shi watched the tofu hanging on the sieve every day, with a worried expression on his face, and it was only after Yuan Guang told her that he felt relieved.

As for Su Qian, she still came here from time to time, either asking Su Youli to find Su Youwen, or telling Li with resentment how bad the other wives were after the separation.

It's okay for Mrs. Li to have heard of it, but in the next few days, she simply ignored it.

With Su Qian's thick skin, Ban Xia could only twitch the corners of her mouth.

The first month has passed in a blink of an eye, and every five days is the market. Su Youli happened to be selling a batch of bean sprouts, and he sent some of them to Jufenglou first. This thing cannot be kept, otherwise it would be better, but the rest would be fine. It sold out quickly.

Fried tofu is also selling very well, and Li Shi finally saw white hairs growing on the tofu that was drying on the sieve, and heaved a long sigh of relief. Roll it and put it into the jar piece by piece.

Then, taking advantage of the cold weather, another batch of tofu was cut into small pieces and put on the sieve. This time, without any persuasion, Li thought about it, "Anyway, we just put in a little effort, but it's just a few About catties of beans."

Not so.

This day was a fair again, and Yuan Chen had almost finished her medicine, and it happened that Su Youli was going to pick up something to sell at the fair, so Ban Xia took Yuan Chen out together.

Even though Yuan Chen is only five years old, Su Youli made a big basket, and while picking up jars of bean sprouts, he wanted Yuan Chen to sit in it, but he refused no matter what.

It's not so delicate, "Father, no need, it's better to walk more in the morning."

Su Youli, who has always cared for his children, just gave up.

When they arrived in the town, Su Youli was already very familiar with selling things here, so Ban Xia took Yuan Chen to the pharmacy.

The door was wide open, Mu Shijiu's eyes seemed to be open or closed, his fingers tapped on the cabinet, a huge abacus was placed on it, and behind him was the medicine cabinet that had been made.

In addition, sitting against the wall is a completely expressionless person, who seems to be blending into the wall, wearing a light ocher robe, isn't he afraid of the cold?
Are these two people playing relatively silently?

Seeing Ban Xia bring Yuan Chen in, the whole person seemed to come alive, "Girl, you are here! Look at my place, the whole town, the first one!"

After speaking, he pulled Yuanchen to feel his pulse, still chattering on the sidelines.

When Ban Xia saw this person, he couldn't help but think, "Hey, I said you guys are really good at taking advantage of the fire!"

Di Yan and Mu Shijiu discussed matters, and there was a bit of a disagreement. When they were silent, Ban Xia came in. He opened his mouth so angry, but he only raised his eyebrows, "Oh?"

With an innocent face!Ban Xia could hardly control her emotions, "Do you know that my father has nothing to do, and you bargain with me on purpose, are you happy to see others worry? Is it interesting?"

Di Yan finally spoke, "I'm begging for the prescription you want?"

Ban Xia's tone faltered, and he thought about it, "That's not true."

"It's good if you don't, your father didn't go back?"

"I'm back."

Di Yan nodded, still looking straight into Banxia's eyes, "Mu Shijiu passed by and cleared the obstacles for you, and now he is still saving your brother, isn't he?"

"Yes, but..."

"But what? Do you think it's a coincidence that your father can return? You came here just to ask for a safe and sound life. Now that your goal has been achieved, why are you saying that we are taking advantage of the fire?" Di Yan was already half-smiling.

Pinellia hesitates a bit, this is not the point!
"Then shouldn't you have said something at the beginning?" The tone actually weakened!Banxia despises herself deeply, because she is afraid, afraid, and Yuanchen still needs to be treated, so she is thinking about it, that's right.

Mu Jiujiu over there is still chattering, Ban Xia thinks that he really didn't have any loss, and they didn't sell it for money after knowing it or something, but why is he so unhappy in his heart!
"Your younger brother is suffering from this illness. You see that Mu Jiujiu has prescribed so many medicines, and he has already recovered a lot. I heard that your family recently made some kind of bean sprouts. Is that made from beans?"

"The bean sprouts are naturally..." Ban Xia covered her mouth.

Taking a few steps back, waiting for Mu Jiujiu to explain, he took the medicine and dragged Yuan Chen to run away.
