Chapter 48

Liu Dashan was a little puzzled when he heard the words. "Why do you suddenly want Banxia to teach Wenyan to hunt?"

"That stinky boy has nothing to do at home all day long, so I want him to learn how to hunt. When he learns it, he can also buy some game for the family like Pinellia." Liu Dahe said very straightforwardly.

Liu Dashan naturally understood after hearing this. "I can't be the master of this matter. When I go back, I will ask Ban Xia what she means. If she agrees, it will be fine."

Liu Dahe was very grateful to hear that there was hope. "Thank you, brother."

"Oh no, I didn't teach it, so why thank me?" Liu Dashan smiled.

After working in the fields for a day, Liu Dahe ate breakfast and dinner in the big room.

Liu Dashan also remembered what Liu Dahe said to him in the field before, and asked Xu Banxia after returning.

Xu Banxia did not give an answer immediately after hearing this, but thought for a while before saying: "Father, if Wenyan wants to learn, why don't you ask Brother Ali to teach?

My bow and arrow is also taught by Brother Ali, and Brother Ali has been hunting for a long time, and has more experience than me. Naturally, he can teach him better than me. What do you think? "

Hearing these words, Liu Dashan thought for a while, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.

"But Ban Xia... Will Ali teach Wen Yan?" Liu Dashan was suddenly a little uncertain.

"Should be, wait until I meet him another day and ask."

Liu Dashan responded. "That's fine."

On the other side, the second bedroom of the Liu family.

"Wenyan, I plan to let Banxia teach you how to hunt, do you want to learn?" Liu Dahe asked him in front of the whole family.

Liu Wenyan was taken aback, and did not answer Liu Dahe's question. "Father, why did you suddenly let me learn to hunt?"

"Ban Xia sent meat to our house several times before, and that meat was the prey that Ban Xia caught." Liu Dahe also made it clear. "If you learn to hunt from Pinellia, then our family can also eat meat."

Before Liu Wenyan could answer, Mrs. Li directly objected: "The head of the family, we have only one precious son, Wenyan. The mountain is so dangerous. If you let him go, don't you tell him to die?"

"That Banxia is only one year behind our Wenyan. Look at how powerful Banxia is. He is capable and can make money." Liu Dahe hated iron for being weak. "Look at our stinky boy again, he can do nothing but eat and play."

Liu Wenyan was not sad when his father was compared with others, but said. "Father, do you think I will be chased by ferocious wild boars? The mountain is so dangerous, and you are not afraid of losing my only son. Don't be sad, Daddy."

Li felt that it was reasonable, and persuaded Liu Dahe. "Father, we Wenyan is right, why don't we just forget about it and stop forcing Wenyan to learn how to hunt."

Wei Shi, who had been silent all this time, followed suit, "Dahe, since Wenyan himself doesn't want to, don't force him to learn."

Liu Dahe didn't expect the whole family to help persuade him, he sighed heavily, and let them go.

"Okay, since he doesn't want to learn, I won't force him."

After Liu Dahe finished speaking, he got up and went out.

When he went to help Liu Dashan in the field the next day, Liu Dahe told Liu Dashan that Liu Wenyan didn't want to learn to hunt.

When Liu Dahe said it, he was obviously a little disappointed.

Liu Dashan also noticed it, and comforted Liu Dahe a few words. "Since Wenyan himself doesn't want to learn, it doesn't matter, maybe he has other ambitions."

Liu Dahe hummed. "How can he have any ambition like that?"

Liu Dashan sighed and didn't say anything more.

After returning home, Liu Dashan took the time to tell Xu Banxia about Liu Wenyan's reluctance to learn to hunt.

Xu Banxia didn't say anything after hearing this.

In the past two or three days, Liu Dahe has been helping Liu Dashan with work, and the work in the Liu family's big house has been done.

Xu Banxia was not in a hurry to go up the mountain to hunt, but waited for Liu Dashan to rest at home for two or three days before he was busy preparing to go up the mountain to hunt.

She went to borrow a bow and arrow from Ali one day in advance, filled a water bottle with spring water in the space, and took some dry food.

Waking up early in the morning, Xu Banxia and Liu Dashan went up the mountain together.

This time, Xu Banxia took Liu Dashan to another direction.

After all, she can't grab a place and squeeze the wool vigorously. The prey in that place was almost wiped out by her.

Always save a little for them to proliferate.

It was the first time for Xu Banxia to come to the west mountain, so he was not very familiar with it, and he walked slowly.

Xu Banxia walked ahead to open the road, and the road was overgrown with weeds, which was a bit difficult.

Seeing this, Liu Dashan said, "Ban Xia, let me open the way, you walk behind me."

Xu Banxia didn't try to be brave, and let Liu Dashan walk in front of her. "Okay, Dad, be careful when you walk ahead."

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Xu Banxia saw a pheasant.

She quickly took out the bow and arrow, aimed at the target, and hit it with one blow.

Liu Dashan was shocked, Ban Xia's reaction speed is so fast!
And good eyesight!
When Liu Dashan came back to his senses, Xu Banxia had already brought the pheasant to Liu Dashan.

"This pheasant is quite fat."

When Liu Dashan heard the words, his eyes fell on the pheasant in Xu Banxia's hand.

"It's quite fat."

"Take it back and stew it, and make it up for mother." She had already made up her mind.

Hearing this, Liu Dashan smiled and didn't say anything. He felt that Xu Niang had been raised by Pinellia recently.

"Father, this pheasant belongs to a female. Its nest may be near here. Let's look for it together."

Liu Dashan responded. "Well."

"Ban Xia, bring me that pheasant." Liu Dashan stretched out his hand.

Xu Banxia handed it to Liu Dashan. "Father, I'll go over there and have a look, you go over there and have a look, let's look separately."

Liu Dashan nodded. "good."

After searching for a while in the woods, Xu Banxia heard Liu Dashan's voice. "Ban Xia, come here quickly, I seem to have found it."

Xu Banxia hurried over. "I'm coming."

Liu Dashan scraped through the grass, and saw wild eggs in the chicken coop.

Xu Banxia's eyes lit up immediately, and he counted. "One, two... seven or eight, there are actually eight! That's quite a lot."

She put down the basket, carefully picked up the wild eggs and put them in the basket.

"Father, when I get back, I want to take these wild eggs to our old hen to hatch chicks."

"Yes, this way, the hatched chicks can be killed and eaten when they grow up." Liu Dashan didn't object either.

Afterwards, Xu Banxia took out dry rations and dealt with Liu Dashan a few times before continuing to move forward.

It wasn't until noon that Xu Banxia and Liu Dashan walked down the mountain.

Going up the mountain today, Xu Banxia's harvest is not bad.

Although they didn't catch prey as big as wild boars, they caught two rabbits, three pheasants, and a nest of wild eggs.

Seeing that the two of them had returned safely, Qin was relieved.

"Come back, the meal is ready, wash your hands and eat first."

Qin went over to help put the prey away.

"Wow, Xia Xia, you picked up so many wild eggs again!" Liu Wenxiu couldn't help but exclaimed as he looked at the wild eggs in the basket.

"Yes, is Wenxiu happy?"

Liu Wenxiu nodded, never taking his eyes off the wild eggs. "happy."

"Okay, let's go eat, you and mother have waited for us for so long, you must be hungry." After washing hands, Xu Banxia pulled Liu Wenxiu in.

"Fortunately, I'm not particularly hungry." As soon as Liu Wenxiu finished speaking, there were two gurgling sounds from his stomach.

Liu Wenxiu clutched his stomach in embarrassment, and lowered his head in embarrassment.

Xu Banxia naturally heard the sound of someone's stomach growling, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and didn't expose him.

After eating, Xu Banxia locked the two rabbits that had been hunted back in a cage and raised them.

She planned to keep them for a few more days, and if she caught more prey, she would take them to the county for sale.

For the remaining three pheasants, Xu Banxia picked the largest one and stewed it, while the other two smaller ones were still kept in captivity.

After resting at home for a day, Xu Banxia and Liu Dashan went up the mountain again.

After going up the mountain two or three times, Xu Banxia went to Cao Lizheng's house to rent an ox cart, and took the prey he had hunted in the past few days to the county for sale.

This time when she went to the county, Xu Banxia asked Liu Dashan to accompany her. As for Liu Wenxiu, she stayed at home to take care of Mrs. Qin, after all, Mrs. Qin was still taking care of her health.

They all left and no one was at home, and they didn't worry about Qin being alone.

Going to the county this time, Xu Banxia was excited and looking forward to it.

Along the way, Xu Banxia looked around with great interest.

After driving for more than two hours, Xu Banxia and the others entered the city.

Looking at Fu'an County, which is more prosperous than Mohe Town, Xu Banxia's eyes are a little bit hard to see.

After inquiring about restaurants with good reputation in Fu'an County with passers-by, Xu Banxia and Liu Dashan drove the bullock cart all the way forward.

After touching a cup of tea, Xu Banxia and Liu Dashan came to a restaurant.

He looked up at the large characters on the plaque - Fortune Restaurant.

This restaurant got a good name, good luck.

Xu Banxia went in and communicated with the waiter, and soon, she met the shopkeeper of the Fortune Restaurant.

I thought the shopkeeper would be a middle-aged uncle, but I didn't expect Xu Banxia to see a handsome young man.

This made Xu Banxia stunned and stunned.

It was the first time she saw such a young shopkeeper.

Moreover, the shopkeeper looks quite iconic, and he is an honest gentleman at first glance.

Putting away his thoughts, Xu Banxia had a correct attitude and got straight to the point. "Hi, shopkeeper, we have a ox cart of game here. I wonder if your restaurant needs it?"

The man shook the folding fan in his hand with a gentle and elegant voice. "Girl, can I have a look?"

Xu Banxia nodded in response. "Okay, the shopkeeper will follow me."

The man followed Xu Banxia out.

"Shopkeeper, these are the wild game we hunted."

The man's eyes fell on the bullock cart, looking at the game that was still alive and kicking, a flash of satisfaction flashed in the man's eyes.

Xu Banxia has been paying attention to the man's expression, and seeing the satisfaction in his eyes, Xu Banxia already has a bottom line in his heart.

"45 taels, I want all these wild game, what do you think, girl?" The man withdrew his gaze and looked at Xu Banxia.

Liu Dashan, who was on the side, was shocked when he heard 45 taels.

These wild game are so valuable! !
You can earn 45 taels at once! !
Xu Banxia hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement. "No problem, deal."

The man was slightly surprised that the little girl was so straightforward. "The girl should not be a local, aren't you afraid that I will cheat you on purpose?"

Xu Banxia replied with a faint smile: "The shopkeeper is so young and promising, and the business is so good, it's not because of cheating people."

These words successfully pleased the man, making the man laugh twice. "The girl is a person who can talk."

"Where is it? It's just some lip service."

"Girl, come with me to the backyard, it's not very convenient for transactions here." The man thought Xu Banxia was very interesting, so he couldn't help but invite her to the backyard.

Hearing this, Xu Banxia hesitated for a moment, glanced at Liu Dashan, and then said: "Father, let's follow the shopkeeper."

Liu Dashan didn't say anything else, he just replied "OK".

Xu Banxia and the others followed the man to the backyard of the Fortune Restaurant.

And the man also ordered someone to bring money to Xu Banxia.

"Here is 45 taels, girl count." The man handed the silver to Xu Banxia himself.

However, Xu Banxia just glanced at the silver casually, and didn't count it. "I believe that the shopkeeper is a man, and if he can be a shopkeeper, there is no need to talk about his character."

The man laughed, waved the folding fan in his hand and said, "The little girl's words are quite pleasing."

"Thank you, shopkeeper, for your compliment."

At this time, a servant hurried to the side of the man. "Young master."

"What's the matter?"

The servants looked at Xu Banxia and Liu Dashan who were present, and hesitated.

The man understood instantly, and said: "If you have anything to say, just tell me, they are my guests."

"Young master, the master sent someone to tell you that you must come up with new recipes within half a month, otherwise the restaurant will be handed over to... the second young master."

"Okay, I see, you go down first." The man's eyes were suddenly stained with a touch of worry.

The servant responded and withdrew.

Xu Banxia naturally heard what the servant said just now, and suddenly had an idea in his heart.

"Shopkeeper, I have a few recipes here. I wonder if the shopkeeper is interested?"

The man was slightly taken aback when he heard Xu Banxia's words, and a look of surprise flashed across his face. "Oh? Girl, do you have any recipes?"

Xu Banxia: "Of course, I just don't know if the shopkeeper is interested in that."

The man didn't answer immediately, but was silent for a while, Ban Xia knew that the shopkeeper was thinking.

She was not in a hurry, and quietly waited for the man's answer.

He simply can't think of any new recipes at the moment, why not give it a try, anyway, it won't waste too much time.

Thinking about it this way, the man raised his eyes, put away the folding fan and said, "Then ask the girl to show me the recipe."

"The recipe is in my mind, can the shopkeeper lend me a pen and paper? I'll write it down and show it to the shopkeeper."

The man frowned slightly, obviously he didn't expect Xu Banxia to say that.

For a moment, he wondered if the girl was lying to him.

But after thinking about it, I felt that it was impossible to lie to him.
