Chapter 24 Found a Treasure
The bullock cart stopped at the gate of Liu's house, and Ali helped to move things in together.

Hearing the commotion outside, Liu Wenxiu ran out of the house in a hurry.

"Father, Xia Xia, you are finally back!"

"Wenxiu, have you had dinner with your mother?" Xu Banxia asked while moving things.

"My mother and I have already eaten, and my mother also saved food for Dad and Xia Xia, and they can eat after heating it up." Liu Wenxiu's eyes fell on the things that Ban Xia moved.

"Well, after I move my things in, I'll go heat up some food." Xu Banxia didn't see Mrs. Qin come out, and asked again: "Wenxiu, where's your mother?"

"Mother is resting."

Xu Banxia hummed, and took the bought clothes, pastries and tonics to the house and put them away.

After they came out, Liu Dashan and Ali had moved all the things like rice noodles into the kitchen.

"Brother Ali, you can feed the cow some water and grass, and help send the cow back to Lizheng's house. I'll cook and wait for you to eat when you come back?"

"En." Ali replied lightly and led the cow to feed water and grass.

Xu Banxia looked at Liu Dashan. "Father, I have to trouble you to deal with the fish that my aunt sent me a few days ago."

"Okay, dad will go now." Liu Dashan went into the kitchen and came out with a kitchen knife.

Xu Banxia went to the kitchen to look at the meal Qin had left for them.

Two corn buns, some porridge in the pot, and a small bowl of pickles covered with a lid on the dining table.

Thinking of Qin's eating these unnutritious things while she was still in confinement, Xu Banxia suddenly regretted going to the market in such a hurry, and didn't get something to eat before going.

In this way, the Qin family will not eat these things anymore.

Xu Banxia took out the rice noodles he bought and cooked the porridge again, steamed the buns, and asked Liu Wenxiu to watch the heat.

She herself went out to take the green snake and deal with it.

When Pinellia came in with a small lump of meat, Liu Wenxiu saw it and asked curiously: "Xia Xia, what kind of meat is this?"

"Snake meat."

Liu Wenxiu's eyes widened in shock, and he took several steps back. "Isn't the snake poisonous? It's... still edible? Will eating its meat be poisonous?"

He asked one after another, Xu Banxia listened to it, and said amusedly: "This snake is not poisonous, and you won't be poisoned if you eat it, and poisonous snakes can also be eaten, so Wenxiu doesn't have to be afraid."

"Oh... oh, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid." Liu Wenxiu boldly looked at the snake in the bowl again.

"Wenxiu went to see if mother is awake." Banxia could see that Liu Wenxiu was still a little scared, so he simply sent him out.

"Okay, I'll go now." Liu Wenxiu nodded, and then ran out.

Then Liu Dashan's voice was heard. "Ban Xia, I've cleaned up the fish." Liu Dashan came in with the fish and put it in an empty bowl.

"Father, go out and have a rest, the meal will be ready soon."

"Then dad is going out first." Liu Dashan came out of the kitchen.

On the other side, Ali led the ox cart to Cao Lizheng's house.

"Uncle Lizheng, I have already fed the cattle with water and grass, so you don't need to feed them for now."

Cao Li was taken aback when he heard this. "Ali gave the money, why did he feed the cows too, this...how embarrassing."

"That's what Pinellia means. She asked me to feed it, and then they took care of my food." Ali explained.

Cao Lizheng nodded knowingly. "That's it, then thank that girl for me."

"Okay, I'll tell her, Uncle Lizheng, then I'll go first."

"Why don't you take a break before leaving? The sun is very hot at this time." Cao Lizheng wanted to persuade him to stay.

Ali looked up at the sky, and then declined. "No need, Uncle Lizheng, I haven't eaten yet, I have to go back to Liu's house for dinner."

Cao Lizheng: "Then why don't you come in and drink some water before leaving?"

"Thank you, Uncle Lizheng, for your kindness. I'm not thirsty, so I'm leaving first."

As soon as the words fell, Ali left without looking back.

Cao Li was standing there and muttering to himself: "Miss Banxia is a good girl who understands the world, and the Liu family really found a treasure."

Liu family.

Pinellia finished marinating the fish with salt, and started to cook the snake meat, and put the grass that was picked before for seasoning to make the snake meat taste better.

After the snake meat was cooked, Xu Banxia was busy making fish in clear soup.

It's hot now, so it's more suitable to make fish in clear soup.

Xu Banxia warmed up the steamed buns and porridge that Qin had made earlier, and then went out with the food.

Qin Shi had already woken up, seeing Banxia coming out of the kitchen with dishes, she was about to go in to help, but was stopped by Xu Banxia. "Mother, don't go in, I'll just serve it."

Xu Banxia quickly put the food in his hand on the dining table, and rushed into the kitchen ahead of Qin.

After all the food was served on the table, Xu Banxia called them over for dinner.

The meals are quite rich, including fish and snake meat, steamed buns from white noodles, and porridge made from rice. There are a lot of rice in the porridge, accompanied by wild vegetables.

Liu Dashan was already so hungry that his chest was stuck to his back, now looking at the sumptuous food on the table, he couldn't help but smacked his mouth twice.

Then he greeted Ali to sit down and eat. "Brother Ali, sit down and eat soon."

"Okay Uncle." Ali sat down now.

Qin Shi and Liu Wenxiu stood aside, Xu Banxia saw this and pulled them to the dinner table to sit down.

"Mother, Wenxiu, let's sit down and eat something together. I put a lot of rice in this porridge, it's enough, and the steamed bun is steamed with white flour, and the fish in clear soup is also very nourishing."

Qin hesitated for a moment and asked, "Banxia, ​​where do you get so much money to buy rice and flour?"

"I made money from selling wild boar meat today, mother can eat it anyway." Xu Banxia served a bowl of porridge to Qin Shi.

Then it was served to Liu Dashan and the others, and finally a bowl was served to Liu Wenxiu. "Wen Xiu, try this porridge quickly, there is a lot of rice in it."

Liu Wenxiu looked at the bowl full of porridge, and felt like a dream. In the past, when he drank porridge, there was very little rice in it, just like drinking water.

"Okay, let's eat together." Liu Dashan said just now.

A few people started to move their chopsticks, and Xu Banxia herself was eating the two cornbreads that Qin Shi left for her and Liu Dashan in the morning.

"Brother Ali, the bowl in front of you is your snake meat, remember to finish it, don't waste it."

Qin Shi was still wondering what kind of meat was in the bowl, but when Ban Xia said it was snake meat, she was stunned.

"Ban Xia, what do you think... what kind of meat is in that bowl?" Qin couldn't believe it.

Xu Banxia: "Snake meat."

"Is the snake meat edible?" Qin was a little skeptical.

"Eatable."

"Uncle, aunt, I can't finish eating so much snake meat, let's eat together." Ali was a little surprised that Xu Banxia actually cooked the snake meat.

Qin shook her head, with a hint of fear in her eyes. "No, you can eat, I'll just eat fish."
