Chapter 309

"Too little."

"In this way, I'll give you a little more money for each set, and you can help me to make it."

The old man still shook his head, "up to six sets, I can't ruin my craft all my life."

"Ten sets."

Xia Xi does not give up bargaining, she has more than ten rooms on the second floor, only six recipes, how can not use.

The old man still shook his head, "to tell you the truth, I have to work out these six sets day and night."

It's good to earn money, but it's true that he's not as fast as he used to be. Three days, six sets and eighteen sheets are his limit.

Xia Xi hesitates, the menu is not enough, it is difficult to use two kinds of menu in an upstairs.

Master Zhang whispered, "the whole Pingyang County, only here can do it."

"All right."

It's better to have something than nothing.

The old man's face was obviously pleased, "six sets of eighteen pieces, eighteen liang of silver, you pay ten liang of silver deposit first."

Xia Xi had only a silver note on her body, at least one of which was twenty taels. She handed it to the old man, "it's a deposit of twenty sets."

The old man didn't hesitate. He took it and drove people out directly. "You'll take it at this time in three days."

Finish saying, holding the box slowly to the house.

They came out of the house, got on the carriage and went back to the fast food restaurant. Xia Xi didn't get off the carriage and said to Mr. Zhang, "I'll go back to Weijia village."

……

Wei Lian burned all the Kang holes in one day and waited for Xia Xi to come early in the morning. It was almost noon when Xia Xi arrived and explained, "something happened in the shop. I'm late."

With these words, I went to touch the Kang cave. I felt that it was all dry and the heat was just right. I asked Wei Lian to call the village head.

The head of the village came quickly, "Lady Xia, what's the matter?"

"Uncle, you have to help me find some soil and straw curtains."

The village head went back to the village immediately. From south to north, from west to East, he yelled a few times. As soon as he heard that Xia Xi needed it, the villagers sent their own soil and straw curtains.

To prevent some people from thinking that they shouldn't, the village head told the people, "listen up, there's no money for this."

"Look at what you said, village head. What silver does this soil and fertilizer need?"

"Yes, lady Xia let our family earn money every day. Besides, the straw curtain is not worth much money. If we want money, isn't it bad for our conscience?"

The village head was satisfied. "You're right. Without lady Xia, we might not be able to eat now."

It's true that the village head said this. Every year in the spring, when the time comes, many people in the village are hungry.

"Uncle, you go out to find an ox cart and bring the sweet potatoes picked up by your aunts."

The village head went away.

Xia Xi climbed up a clay Kang, took a shovel and sprinkled the soil fertilizer evenly on it.

As soon as Wei Lian and the woman who burned the Kang hole saw it, they climbed up the other Kang and spread the fertilizer evenly.

Pull the cart of sweet potato to come over, Xia Xi let people carefully pass sweet potato to her, she one by one row on the earth Kang, sweet potato close, almost no gap.

The village head and the people watched without blinking.

Kang hole is very big, a cart of sweet potatoes is not full, there are many people in the village immediately turned to help.

The villagers who soon came to deliver soil fertilizer and straw curtains all went to the workshop and helped to transport a lot of sweet potatoes. They were all careful for fear of damaging the skin of sweet potatoes.

A Kang hole row full, Xia Xi tired sweating, regardless of wipe forehead shout, said Wei Lian several people, "go to the side of the dry soil get."

The women carry the frame and carry the sand that Xia Xi ordered to leave in advance. Xia Xi evenly puts it on these sweet potatoes. Until the sand completely buries the sweet potatoes, they stop and ask them to take the grass curtain and cover it. Then they straighten up and wipe their sweat.

Jump down from Kang hole, "who has surplus pottery pot in the home, please bring one for me."

As soon as they heard this, they turned around and ran home. After a while, they took out a lot of pottery pots.

Xia Xi picked out one and put it on the side of the Kang hole. Where she specially left it, she had a bucket of water come over and filled the pot with seven percent.

"Sister Wei Lian, make a fire."

The fire didn't go out, but it was scattered. Wei Lian added a few sticks of firewood and started to burn immediately.

"No, it's too hot. It'll cook the sweet potatoes."

Xia Xi comes forward and takes away the dry wood. It's all over the Kang cave.

"Sweet potato seedlings, all in the fire, the fire is too big, sweet potatoes are ripe, the fire is small, can not breed seedlings, so fire is the key, you must remember, don't act too hastily."

The women nodded.

When the fire in the Kang cave was almost finished, Xia Xi added some firewood. The fire was the same as just now, not very big, but she could also feel the heat coming from her face.

After adding firewood, Xia Xi gets up and puts her hand into the pottery pot to feel the temperature of the water, and then reaches out to touch the temperature of the Kang hole.

After repeating this for more than ten times, Xia Xi gave up her body and let the women who shaoshaoshao cave feel the water temperature in the pot one by one. "That's the temperature. We must keep it well. It can't be higher or lower."

The women were all nervous and felt it again and again.

Xia Xi comforted them, "don't be nervous, who can be clever, after two days, you will be able to grasp."

Listening to her saying, the women's sense of tension has not disappeared, but has increased. If they can't master the temperature well and can't bring up the seedlings, it will delay the great event of Lady Xia.

People in the village are also eager to see. Just now, they thought it was very easy to see Xia Xi's continuous movements. They didn't expect it to be so difficult. If they had a mind to learn this "craft" secretly, they immediately gave up their mind.

The village head also looked at it. At the beginning, he thought the same as the villagers. He also thought why Xia Xi had to demonstrate himself. He told them that it would be over if he could do it. Unexpectedly, it was so difficult.

"It's not hard."

As if to see through the people's mind, Xia Xi said with a smile, "as long as you master the temperature, you can grow seedlings well."

Now that they have brought their own soil fertilizer and grass curtains, she doesn't intend to hide them. Sweet potato breeding is a craft. If she learns it, she can go out to earn money.

"Come on, come on, let's get started and help to make all the sweet potatoes on the Kang hole."

The village head said hello.

They are all farmers. This kind of work is no exception. They all help. They arrange the sweet potatoes first. After Xia Xi has seen it, they help to spread sand and cover the grass curtain.

The village head inquired Xia Xi, put different pottery pots one by one in the earth Kang cave, and then asked people to add water.

All done, the village people to withdraw from the passage, leaving only the burning women.

"You two in a group, divided into day and night, each group is responsible for six kang holes, remember, the fire can't stop."
