Chen Wanbai took advantage of the fact that it was still early, tied a few yams with straw ropes, and walked towards Wan Chaogui's house.
In winter, there are few game animals in the mountains and few jobs in the city. Wan Chaogui is at home almost every day. You can't be idle at home. When Chen Wanbai arrived at Wan Chaogui's house, he was chopping firewood in the yard.
During the day, I go to the mountains to cut firewood. In the evening, I chop it into suitable sizes at home and put it in the kitchen or firewood shed for future use.
Chen Wanbai walked into the yard and shouted: "Uncle Wan."
Wan Chaogui heard the voice, turned around and saw that it was Chen Wanbai coming over, and was a little confused. He put down the ax in his hand and asked with a smile: "Xiaobai, why are you here? What's the matter?"
Chen Wanbai didn't beat around the bush and said directly: "Uncle Wan, I came here to help you." I want to discuss something with you."
As she said that, she raised the yam in her hand and was about to speak.
Mrs. Zhao who heard the sound came out of the kitchen and shouted at the top of her voice: "Xiaobai, you are here, come in quickly, it's cold outside."
Wan Chao Only then did Gui realize what he was doing, and quickly put down what he was doing, and hurriedly pulled Chen Wanbai: "Let's talk in the house."
After entering the house, Mrs. Zhao came over with a bowl of hot water. : "Xiao Bai, you guys chat first while I go cook. You haven't eaten yet. I'll ask Xiao Huang to call your mother. Stop cooking and come to grandma's place to eat together."
Chen Wanbai She quickly grabbed Mrs. Zhao and said, "No, no, the house has already cooked when I came."
Mrs. Zhao gave up and thought about bringing a bowl of food back to Chen Wanbai when she left. Today, my family roasted meat.
"Then you guys chat first, I still have food in the pot."
After saying that, he quickly went to the kitchen.
Chen Wanbai then pointed to the yam she put on the table and said, "Uncle Wan, do you recognize this thing?"
Wan Chaogui looked at it and thought to himself , isn’t this a tree root? But then I thought about it, Chen Wanbai must have a reason for asking this. Just like the cassava last time, they also said it was a tree root. They also said it was poisonous and would kill people if eaten. But in the end, not only was it edible, it also tasted pretty good. Could this be some kind of fresh food?
He came closer and took a closer look. He was sure it was something he had never seen before and did not recognize. He shook his head and said, "What is this thing? I have never seen it."
At this time, Wan Guangshan walked out of the back room. Hearing this, he came over and looked at it for a long time with a confused look on his face: "What is this? Is it edible again?"
Chen Wanbai nodded and explained with a smile: "Grandpa Wan, Uncle Wan, this is called yam. It is a good thing. It can be eaten and used as medicine."
Wan Guangshan and Wan Chaogui He nodded, thinking that Chen Wanbai had discovered new food and brought it to them.
"You are such a good boy, you will never forget us no matter what good things happen." Wan Guangshan couldn't help nodding and praising, "But you should take care of yourselves first. There are many men in our family, and we will never die of hunger. You guys Orphans and widowers should save more food. There is not much to eat in this winter."
"Xiaobai, don't send it over next time. You can keep it for yourself, uncle. There is no shortage of food at home. If you don't have enough to eat, come to my uncle's house to get it. We still have the food you two eat." Wan Chaogui thought, it must be from Chen Wanbai's house. When they didn't have enough food, they went to the mountains to dig up these tree roots to eat. A feeling of guilt suddenly surged in their hearts, feeling that they had not taken good care of them and that they were sorry for Chen Da'an underground.
Chen Wanbai quickly explained: "Grandpa Wan, Uncle Wan, listen to me first."
She looked at Wan Guangshan with a distressed look on his face, and Wan Chaogui's look on his face Feeling guilty, I don’t know what they were thinking about, so they should hurry up and talk about business,
"I negotiated a business with the shopkeeper at the teahouse in the town, which is this yam, let's work together Dig it and sell it for money.”

Wan Guangshan and Wan Chaogui only heard: tree roots can be sold for money.
Wan Guangshan was the first to ask: "Xiao Bai, do you mean these tree roots can be sold for money?"
Chen Wanbai nodded and replied seriously: "Yes , forty-five cents per pound."
When he heard the price, Wan Guangshan was even more unconvinced. He asked suspiciously: "Xiaobai, is this... is this reliable? >
Seeing that he still didn't believe it, Chen Wanbai took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it over: "It can really sell for money! I even signed the contract. "
Wan Guangshan took the contract with hesitation and read it.
Although he had never read a book, he had followed his master before and could probably read a few words.
He squinted and recognized the forty-five articles at a glance, and then recognized the words supply, acquisition, etc.
"Xiaobai, this is a profitable business for you. Go ahead and do it yourself without involving us. "Wan Guangshan now believed Chen Wanbai's words that the tree roots could be sold for money, but how could they take advantage of this profitable thing.
Wan Chaogui saw his father. Contract, he knew in his heart that this was probably true. But the more this happened, the more ashamed he felt. He had always wanted to help Da'an more in return for his life-saving grace. However, Chen Wanbai always remembered it. In my heart, I either want to take something or pay for it directly.
Now that I have the opportunity to make money, I want to bring my family with me.
"Xiaobai, you two are supposed to do it. It was difficult, and I didn’t have much money on hand. You can just earn this money yourself. If you are too busy, I will help you. "
After hearing what the father and son said, Chen Wanbai was filled with emotion. Such a good thingWhen it came to making money, they were worried that they would be cheated at first, but when they found out, they were not jealous at all, and they thought about her wholeheartedly, for fear of taking advantage of her.
"Grandpa Wan, Uncle Wan, look at what you said. You are thinking of me, and I will naturally think of you too. Wouldn't it be better for our two families to make money together?"
Chen Wanbai is not very good at saying nice things, but in this matter, her idea is very simple. Yams are difficult to dig. Even if she and Liu work together, they won't be able to dig much. It's better to be a favor.
The two families are so close, and I am often not at home. Ms. Liu was not at ease at home alone. For such a long time, because they have a reputation as poor people outside and live far away, all the leprous and idle men in and outside the village who are petty thieves are too lazy to go there.
But it will be difficult to say in the future. It is more important to have a good relationship with your neighbors.
In addition, she felt that Wan Chaogui and Tian Guihua would probably succeed, and Tian Guihua and Liu were as close as sisters.
Wan Guangshan and Wan Chaogui were still a little hesitant.
/p>
Upon hearing this, Wan Chaogui became anxious: "You are right, I will shamelessly do it with you."
Wan Guangshan also felt that Chen Wanbai was right. In this winter, there are few wild vegetables. What if some villagers dig them up?
"Then tomorrow morning, your uncle and I will go up the mountain with you to dig the roots of the tree." Wan Guangshan had just finished his promise when Mrs. Zhao's voice sounded from behind.
"What tree roots are you digging?"
Mrs. Zhao was seen holding a bowl of vegetables and looking at everyone with a puzzled face.
