Sure enough, within a few days, Min Chun came to apologize with a small gift.
However, no one can even enter the gate. Just listen to the barking inside.
Oh, I forgot to mention earlier that the doorbell is not needed since the four-haired one can take on the task of housekeeping and know that someone is outside from afar.
Yang Dalang, who came out to answer the door, said bluntly, "No. You don't need to splash or send it on purpose."
After speaking, he closed the door again with a blank face.
"..." The closed door was touched, making Minchun's face hot for the first time here.
At the same time, the bottom of my heart is also half shocked!
After thinking about it for a while, I couldn't find it, but if everyone figured out his own mind, then no matter how he changed his tactics, he would only act like a monkey show. Still playing in front of He Ge'er! ! Thinking of this, the various plans that I had in my heart did not want to be used.
It is this Yang Dalang who dares to reject me directly like this! You shouldn't come to you with money, just see how you will bow down at my feet in the future! After making a note in his heart, Min Chun sneered and left.
Miao He in the yard was a little nervous, "Come here? What did you say? Why did people leave so quickly?"
Yang Dalang hugged the little brother, "Tell me the truth. Let's go."
"The truth..." Miao He was tangled, wasn't that drawing hatred
"It's better to stop at the beginning."
After Miao Qiang's incident, Yang Dalang was quite disgusted by the maliciousness hidden around him. Since we know that people have scheming and purpose, continuing to communicate will only increase the level of unknown danger, so it is better not to communicate in the first place, so that's it.
Miao He sighed, "But if he just wants to find a way and wants to ask us for help..."
"He can say it straight, don't touch me."
Miao He stared again, "You, what did you say!? Touch!? You didn't mention this part yesterday!!!"
Yang Dalang replied, "I'm afraid you will be angry."
"You look like you're not afraid at all!!"
Yang Dalang didn't answer, bowed his head and kissed his relatives, "If you know he has a problem, stay away. Remember."
"You just have to stay away from him!! Where did he, he touch you!?"
"I didn't touch it."
"real!?"
"real."
Mantou Wotou, who was playing at the side, saw his two grandfathers fumbling around, so he howled excitedly and joined the battle. So Yang Dalang threw three sweet and warm weights on him, and he hugged them, and he was reluctant to let them go. There is an extra hair on the back, after all, Dabai is a little black cat who likes to be lively.
And this little episode quickly slipped through Miao He's life. After all, there was no intersection, so I didn't know that a well-dressed, single brother often appeared after the restaurants in the town. After being rejected so mercilessly, Minchun was even more impatient to develop slowly, and just wanted to find a way to ascend to the sky.
Not to mention Minchun, now next door to Miao He's house, there are scenes of peasant girls visiting with enthusiasm from time to time.
But they were all blocked by the conscientious butler Li.
"Thank you girl for returning the gift, but the uncle's explanation is not easy to accept. If the uncle is not here, we must not dare to violate it."
"Thank you girl for visiting, but our wife is sick and is resting."
"Thank you girl for the invitation. Our wife still has some things to deal with, so it's not easy to go out."
Being rejected repeatedly and twice, Miao Duan also knew that they didn't intend to ignore him. But the last time she entered this house was too shocking to her, and she didn't want to give up easily. Gritting her teeth, she simply went to the door to guard when she had time. When a carriage came in, she would go up to knock on the door, and she would never say that people were resting!
This guard really guarded a luxurious carriage that came to visit. However, the carriage was also strange. Before it entered the gate of Xu's house, it stopped when it saw a girl standing under a tree by the roadside. After talking to someone a few words, they got into the car and turned to go to the town.
And Miao He didn't have time to gossip next door at the moment, he was trying to sell the honey from his family's flowers and trees.
It is said that in the spring, they invited Master Cao, who took the bees, to nail the beehives in the back of the mountain, and they also attracted the bees from behind. When I asked the master to come over again in May, I was scolded for a while and said why I didn't call him earlier. I heard that there were too many bees, and the original hive was too small and wasteful.
So I rolled up my sleeves and nailed the nails again, nailing more than a dozen boxes, and made an appointment to come back in ten days. See, this has become the norm. Because there are more flowers and more bees, and the honey is produced quickly, it takes about ten days to invite a master to get the honey. The honey accumulated in this way is also several large urns.
Thinking that the flowering period will continue for a while, Miao He did not dare to admit that he was afraid that there would be no flowers before, and even used the soil to cheat and plant several flower trees secretly. Faced with the full nectar, the family could not use so much, so he decided to sell it out. Some.
But honey in this era, is the real thing. That is to say, the people here have been drinking wild honey since childhood. It is natural, and there are no fakes, so when they hear Baihua Honey, they are not particularly excited. Although his own honey smelled with a unique floral fragrance, it should be able to sell, but Miao He still thought of something to eat, so as to promote his own nectar.
It's honey cake!
This honey cake is a snack that his grandma used to bake for him when he was a child. In the past, Miao He seldom made it, because he was afraid of being hurt, but now he is surrounded by his family, thinking that it will be his turn to bake it for his sons in the future, and to make this cake is to feel nostalgic.
The practice of honey cake is also simple. First, heat oil, water and honey over low heat, then add flour and egg yolks and mix well to form a batter. After that, it took a lot of effort to beat the egg whites, which of course came from Yang Dalang. The egg whites must be beaten into a solid state, gently stirred into the batter, and then baked, and it's done.
No baking powder or cake flour was used in the whole process, and the egg whites were used to hold the cake loose, so Miao He was not made too thick. After a thin slice is baked, two slices of cake are sandwiched together, and a layer of home-made honey is applied in the middle, which is a variant of the honey layer cake.
As soon as it was put into Yang Dalang's mouth, the person was silent for a while before saying, "Cake is more eye-catching than honey."
It means that the ad is simply overwhelming.
Miao He ate a piece himself, and then had to agree. With the strong egg fragrance as a foil, the unique aroma of the nectar is just right, not too thin, and more of a warm and mellow taste. However, it is true that the sense of presence is robbed by the richness and softness of the cake.
Just watch the two little fights screaming after they smelled the aroma of the cake being baked. Miao He didn't dare to let them eat raw honey, so he just squeezed a small piece of cake and stuffed it into their mouths. But it was enough for the two boys to eat with crooked eyes. After eating, Miao He didn't give it anymore, and even more ooh. On the other hand, Da Bai seemed to be a little disillusioned because he didn't have any cake to eat, so he stopped coaxing him.
Miao He said regretfully, "Then what should I do? The cake is not good, I can't think of anything else."
Yang Dalang touched people's heads, "Sell the seller, take the nectar. Together."
Yes, how could he forget. Miao He immediately raised his hands in approval. "And if the cake recipe is sold, other jams will be sold in the future." Miao He quickly reminded that the flavor of the sandwich can be changed.
Yang Dalang nodded, and the next day, he brought a batch of freshly baked ones directly to the restaurant.
But those who make gold shopkeepers happy have to dance.
"No problem, no problem, how can there be too much nectar! I can take it all!! The shopkeeper, I look at this cake, hey, it's soft and fluffy, it doesn't take up my stomach, I can eat one by myself!! This amount is absolutely huge, absolutely huge !"
However, Yang Dalang still kept a small part of the nectar for sale in small urns, and printed his own pattern. One urn is directly priced at three taels of silver, and it is not soft. This is to see whether his family's nectar is popular or not. If so, he will be able to expand sales next year.
And this year, Yang Dalang didn't set the price too high for the money he sold for the money. So adding the two together, only got a mere 150 taels.
"... One hundred and fifty taels," Miao He took the money urn and rubbed it.
"Are you still buying land?"
"purchase!"
Miao He has always adhered to the habit of not keeping too much silver taels on hand. Once he has money, he buys land like a nouveau riche. Buying and buying like this, the land area of Miao He's family is already larger than the entire village. It can be said that the direction of Miao He's family towards Beitong Town is the western periphery of the village, and most of the land belongs to their family. However, these are still wasteland, and they have not been sorted out. Yang Dalang has only passed the land deed and has not yet gone to talk to the village chief.
After all, the current mountain is enough for them to be busy.
And after busy with the nectar, it was almost around September. Mantou and Wotou had learned to crawl. They crawled around mischievously all day long, leaving Miao He exhausted. Houshan officially entered the busiest period. The peaches are ripe, the persimmons are ripe, and the pears are almost ripe.
Seeing that so many fruits are about to ripen, the fruiting rate is much higher than expected, even the teahouse can't eat it. Miao He felt a pity to sell it to ordinary merchants at a low price, and did not want to break the selling price. Once the selling price goes down, it is difficult to come up. So is it better to make jam, or just change the place to sell fruit
The former is more secure, but it cannot reflect the advantages of improved varieties grown from soil improvement! Especially the plump and plump stature, and the particularly dense and elastic pulp, the sweet and tender taste can't be presented as it is! Always feel pity. The latter has to take some risks and work harder.
Yang Dalang made a direct decision, "Sell in Yunsu City."
"Su Cheng? Are you looking for Big Brother Xu for help?" Miao He blinked.
As I said before, there is a canal passing through Miaoshui Town, and the next stop is the port of the county seat. There is another canal that meets in the county seat, and if you go to the other end, you will be able to connect to Sucheng. Therefore, although the city of Su is far away from this land transportation, it can be reached within three days by water transportation, and the time is still within the acceptable range.
"kindness."
"It's true that they often come to buy vegetables, but this kind of relationship, is there anyone willing to help us like this?" Miao He hesitated.
"If you owe your favor, it will be good to pay it back in the future."
Yang Dalang believed Miao He's external judgment. People say yes, that's fine.
"Since that's the case, let's study the packaging of the fruit! You can't send the rotten fruit with human affection!"
—
A few days later, Yang Dalang went to the Xu family and mentioned this to Xu Ming.
Little brother Xu Ming took a bite of the juicy and sweet peach, and immediately started writing down the address.
At this time, the wooden box Miao He ordered from Yang Datong was ready. The wooden box is printed with its own pattern, and the inside is covered with partitions. One fruit is one grid, and the four sides are filled with hay, hoping to prevent errors during transportation to the greatest extent. There are large and small wooden boxes. There are special transport, there are also suitable for gifts.
The next day, Yang Dalang put on the new robe designated by Miao He and brought dozens of boxes on board. Three days later, we arrived at Sioux City.
