Bad Boy Farming

He Ping looked at Er Niu, and asked in a daze, "Your family has [-] catties of taro?"

"Yes. What's the matter? Can't eat?"

"[-] catties, [-] catties..." He Ping was dizzy, hated himself for talking too fast, and said with a miserable face, "Shall I get [-] catties of taro to feed the pigs..."

"Don't be so scared. The taro can be kept in the house for at least a month or two. When it snows, it can be covered with rice straw and it will not freeze."

"What you said is simple." He Ping glanced at the boy sitting on the bed, "Then I can send someone to fetch as much as I need in the restaurant, how about it?"

"Whatever you want." Er Niu didn't care, "The taro is soft after being cooked. It can ease the spleen and stomach, adjust the Qi, reduce phlegm and stagnation. It is most suitable for the elderly and children. It can also cure fatigue when eating less. If you don't want so much , I can also sell it to others as food, which is cheaper than brown rice anyway.”

He Ping doesn't care about the small amount of money to buy taro, what he cares most is whether the restaurant can produce new dishes every day, although his family has its own signature dishes, but even if it is Buddha jumping the wall, eating it every day will make people tired.

Seeing that he hesitated, Er Niu said, "I'll make two dishes later, you can try it before deciding."

He Ping nodded, turning back on his word for 20 taels of silver, he really couldn't afford to lose face in front of the head of Qi.

Erniu catches a young chicken raised this year, boils water, plucks hair and steams rice.Then he boiled a pot of taro, and after the taro was cooked, he used sugar to make mashed taro, anti-sand taro, and shredded taro, and then made a pot of roasted chicken nuggets with taro. Thinking that He Ping still had two subordinates, he prepared Make some more taro pancakes.

Qi Sheng drooled while lighting the fire, "Keep the taro for us to eat, don't sell it."

"There are taro everywhere on the hillside. If you want to eat, come and dig with me." Er Niu took out the last taro cake and said, "Save the taro rolls for Mengmeng, and put the rest on the dining table."

"You are good to that kid." Qi Sheng stretched out his hand to squeeze one, but Er Niu raised his foot to kick him, "Are you three or four?"

"I'm an adult, I don't know as much as him, I'll wait for him to grow up!" Seeing Er Niu holding the bowl in his arms, Qi Sheng withdrew his hand embarrassingly, and when he reached the main room, he yelled, "He Ping, eat Alright, today is the taro feast."

"Eh, there is also taro in the rice?" He Ping paused with his outstretched chopsticks, "What is this black thing?"

"Fried rice with shiitake mushrooms and taro. But there are no fresh shiitake mushrooms at this time of year, so we can only make do with soaked shiitake mushrooms." Er Niu threw down his coir raincoat and picked up Mengmeng, "Come and eat, it won't taste good when it gets cold."

Mengmeng picked up a taro roll and stuffed it into Er Niu's mouth, but the rice couldn't stop Qi Sheng's mouth, "You two have such a good relationship!"

He Ping didn't know that he was jealous, and his tone was wrong, "You should be happy that they are good to you. See how sensible your nephew is."

"He Dong's family, try the taro and you won't be upset about your previous decision." The vegetable bowl was sent to him, and Qi Sheng wanted to cover his mouth with food.

Just looking at the table of taro, He Ping also knew that Er Niu hadn't lied to him. If a new dish was served a day, his restaurant would be full in the next half month.Since fermented bean curd and Biandan were made, old diners would ask the young man if there is any new dish today.

While feeding Mengmeng meat, Er Niu said, "He Ping, you can consider my proposal after you go back. While helping others sell specialties from various places, you also found new ingredients for your restaurant. You don't care about this business no matter what." Suffer."

"I understand!" He Ping didn't like sweets, so he grabbed the taro cake and said, "You can help me make some more of this, and save it for me to eat on the way."

Er Niu chuckled, "Okay!"

Unlike Erniu's family, where the guests and hosts had a good time, the village head's family was gloomy.

The people here are quite superstitious, especially those who are more afraid of death as they get older. No, before the village head's house had a good meal, several elders in the village came to find them, and said before entering the door that the mountain god was angry.

The village chief laughed dangerously when he heard this, and pretended to think, "I don't think so. Before eating, I went to the entrance of the village to look. That's what the doctor said."

"But we have all seen what it looks like when the stone falls off." An old man said, "Did it anger the ancestors by being a jerk in the ancestral hall?"

The village chief sneered at this, although he didn't know why the landslide suddenly happened, but the ancestors who turned into a pile of bones really had the ability, how could the young men in Zhangjia Village not even marry a wife, if it wasn't for Er Niu's mutated egg and tofu It's hard for girls in Zhangjia Village to find a husband's house.

Thinking of this, the village chief slapped his thigh, "By the way, call Erniu over here, Mr. Qi is well-informed, they must know why." Then he asked his wife to call Erniu.

Several elders nodded one after another. Thanks to Erniu, they made a lot of money this year. They also hoped that the "landslide" was because the rocks on the mountain were loose, but the loud noise... compared with money, the elders were more I was afraid that my ancestors would blame me and lose my life.

Er Niu sent He Ping away before going to the village chief's house, and Er Niu didn't allow them to speak, and Er Niu knew what was going on, "Oh, this Boss He's house is really good, he doesn't want to let him stay overnight and then leave."

"What? He Dong's family is here?" The village chief was about to say why Erniu was so slow, but when he saw him nod, "You boy! How can you let him go when it's raining so hard!" Then he went to get the coir raincoat.

"Uncle, don't go, Dong He's boat has gone far away." Er Niu stopped him.Pointing to his forehead, the village chief sighed, "You usually look so smart, why are you acting stupid today?"

Er Niu chuckled, "Maybe they saw that my house was broken and didn't want to live in it."

Village head Zhang thought to himself that the head of Qi didn't dislike him, but he also had no choice but to ask Mengmeng to call Er Niu Daddy.The head of Qi can't leave his nephew and live in the county by himself.

The village chief sat down on the stool and asked, "Did the Qi family hear any strange noises last night?"

"I heard it. Erniu and I went out to have a look at the dawn. Erniu almost sprained his ankle. I have seen this situation elsewhere..."

"What is that?" an elder interrupted Qi Sheng.

Qi Sheng said naturally, "Landslide."

When these words came out of Qi Sheng's mouth, the village chief didn't want to ask any more questions. In order to dispel the worries of the elders, "The mountain god is not angry, is it?"

"How is it possible? I've seen anything worse than this."

"For example?" The village chief had never been out of Maoling County. Even though he was very old and calm, he couldn't help asking Qi Sheng to talk about things outside.

Qi Sheng pretended to think about it, "Is it serious?" He glanced at several people, "The whole village was buried overnight, so what?"

"Of course!" The village head turned pale and asked, "Will our village be buried?"

"No!" Qi Sheng shook his head and said, "Except for the barren ones on both sides of the sky, there are trees everywhere at the foot of the mountain on your village side, and even stones rolling down the mountain are blocked by trees, unless you cut down the trees one day. Lose."

"It won't happen." Since Qi Sheng is a very powerful person in the eyes of everyone, the village chief was completely relieved after hearing Jun's words, "By the way, Er Niu, why did Dong's family come to you at this time?"

"Buy Biandan, Boss He said that he will come to pick up the goods once in five days."

As soon as the words fell, several old men exclaimed at the same time, "My God! How is it possible! Are we going to send it out? The ancestors have appeared!"

The village chief coughed twice, and called one of them, "Uncle, it's Er Niu who manifested the spirit, and it has nothing to do with the ancestors!"

"I, why don't I just talk casually." The other party saw Er Niu sitting in front of him, and said embarrassedly, "Er Niu, don't worry about it, I am old and confused."

Er Niu smiled and said, "I wouldn't be there without my ancestors." Not wanting to talk too much with him, he said, "Uncle, our way out of the village is blocked, what can you do?"

"Building roads?" The village chief shook his head, "How can we have that money?"

Er Niu said, "I have an idea, but I don't know if it's feasible."

"Tell me about it," said the village chief.

"I don't think it's a big deal to make biandan in the ancestral hall every day. Why don't we move the stones blocking the entrance of the village and build a few houses in the village for making biandan and fermented bean curd?"

The village chief thought for a while, "From what you said earlier, Mr. He's family needs a lot of changes. The two ancestral halls probably won't be able to fit in. We also need to build a house, but where should we put it? There are people everywhere. cropland."

"It's better to put it at the entrance of the village, next to the old doctor's house." Er Niu said.

"Where?" The village chief frowned, "If another stone falls, it will be over."

"Uncle, Master Qi just said, plant trees. Let's plant pine trees around there, and we will also use pine branches when we make eggs."

One of the old people saw that they were in such a difficult situation, "If we put it on the riverside and cut down the trees we usually enjoy the shade, the open space can build a big yard, enough for the bastards."

"No!" Er Niu said eagerly.

"Why?" Seeing his gaffe, Qi Sheng hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

"The water used to make eggplants is too dirty. If it flows into the river, people in our village will never even think about bathing and washing clothes in the river."

The village chief was surprised, "Is it so serious?"

"Brother Sanqi once forgot to bring the gloves made by his sister-in-law for him, and his hands were not rotted by lime after a day's work." Erniu didn't want to pollute the place where he lived all his life.

The village chief vaguely heard his son say, "Then let's build a house at the entrance of the village! If it's sunny, we'll build it!"

"Uncle, Mr. He's family also said that we should write the words 'Zhangjia Village Biandan' on the jar. He said that once our Biandan and fermented bean curd are shipped out, people will know us."

"Is there any benefit?" To write, you need to buy a pen, ink and inkstone. If Erniu doesn't tell you the truth, the villagers are not willing to pay for it.

"If the things we sell in the future are the same as other people's, people will buy ours."

The village chief asked, "If Guangjiao's family still sells rice cracker candies in the county, will the people in the county buy from others or from Guangjiao?"

"As long as he calls out the words 'Zhangjiacun', he will buy the wide-angle ones even if their rice cracker candies look better than the wide-angle ones. This is called reputation."

The village head was happy, "This is good!"

Qi Sheng looked at Er Niu thoughtfully, it seemed that he was about to go out again.
